Referring to fig. 1 to 3, the aquarium 100 for automatically feeding and purifying water provided by the present invention comprises a tank 1, a purifying device 2 and a feeding device 3, wherein the tank 1 has a receiving chamber (not shown in the drawings); the purifying device 2 is arranged in the box body 1 and is used for purifying the water quality in the accommodating cavity; the feeding device 3 is arranged on the box body 1, the feeding device 3 comprises a feeding groove 31 which is rotatably arranged, a feed opening is formed in a notch of the feeding groove 31, and a discharge opening 311 is formed in the side portion of the feeding groove 31, so that feed enters the feeding groove 31 from the feed opening and is thrown out from the discharge opening 311 through the rotation of the feeding groove 31.

In the technical scheme provided by the invention, the purifying device 2 and the feeding device 3 are both arranged in the containing cavity in a centralized manner, so that the box body 1 is compact in structure; the purification device 2 can purify the water in the accommodating cavity; in the rotation process of the feeding trough 31 in the feeding device 3, the feed in the feeding trough 31 is thrown out from the discharge hole 311 by means of centrifugal force, so that the feed is dispersedly fed in the accommodating cavity, and the activity of fishes and the like is improved.

The box body 1 can be arranged by referring to the structures of the existing aquarium, fish tank and the like, and it can be understood that at least part of the box body 1 is transparent, for example, the box body is made of transparent materials such as glass and the like, so that a user can visually observe and watch the activity of aquatic products such as fishes cultured in the accommodating cavity; the specific shape and size of the box body 1 are not particularly limited, and can be set according to the actual application requirements. The box body 1 may be completely closed, or may be opened at least at one end. A water outlet 11 can be formed at the bottom of the box body 1, a cover body structure is configured on the water outlet 11, and the cover body structure can be covered on the water outlet 11 to prevent water in the box body 1 from flowing out; the water outlet 11 can be opened by the cover structure, so that water in the tank 11 can flow out for water body replacement, and the cover structure is not described in detail here.

The purifying device 2 and the feeding device 3 are arranged in the box body 1, for example, a frame body can be additionally arranged, and the purifying device 2 and the feeding device 3 are fixedly arranged in the box body 1 through the frame body; the specific fixing and mounting mode is not limited, and can be screw connection fixing, buckle fixing or adsorption fixing and the like; the specific installation position is not limited, and the installation position may be an outer wall of the box body 1, or a side wall installed in the accommodating cavity. When the purification device 2 and the feeding device 3 are arranged in the containing cavity, the purification device 2 is preferably arranged at the side part so as to avoid occupying too much fish activity space; the feeding device 3 can be optionally arranged in the middle of the accommodating cavity, and at this time, a structure such as an annular groove can be arranged at the position of the feeding device 3 in the water body, and the annular groove can be used for placing ornamental stones, plants and the like so as to reduce the interference on fishes and the like.

Referring to fig. 1, 3 and 4, in the present embodiment, a plurality of discharge holes 311 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the feeding trough 31. The number of the discharge ports 311 needs to be set within a proper range, and the set number of the discharge ports 311 determines the feed input amount of the feed input chute 31 in unit time to a certain extent, so that if the number of the discharge ports 311 is large, too much feed is easily input; on the contrary, if the number of the discharge ports 311 is small, the feed is likely to be too small. The caliber of the discharge hole 311 is at least larger than the grain diameter of the granulated feed; the plurality of discharge holes 311 are arranged at intervals, so that feed is thrown out from each discharge hole 311 in the rotation process of the feeding trough 31, the feed is fed in all directions, fishes are driven to actively swim to all positions in the containing cavity for feeding, and the increase of the activity of the fishes is facilitated.

Referring to fig. 3 and 4, in this embodiment, the feeding device 3 further includes a hopper 32, and a feeding port of the hopper 32 is correspondingly disposed above the feeding port; specifically, the hopper 32 may include a storage bin (not shown in the drawings) and a material conveying channel (not shown in the drawings), wherein the storage bin is used for storing a certain amount of feed, a feeding end of the material conveying channel is communicated with the storage bin, and a discharging end of the material conveying channel forms the material conveying port; the material conveying channel is arranged gradually reduced from top to bottom, so that the feed can be concentrated and output from the material conveying opening, and then falls into the corresponding area of the feeding groove 31. The feeding groove 31 is movably arranged in the containing cavity from top to bottom so as to have the closing position moving upwards to block the material conveying opening and the working position moving downwards to communicate the material conveying opening with the material inlet. The arrangement is such that the charging chute 31 corresponds to a cover structure of the hopper 32, and the intermittent charging of the hopper 32 can be realized by operating the charging chute 31 to switch between the closed position and the operating position; by adjusting the time for which the charging chute 31 is maintained at the operating position, the discharge amount of the hopper 32 can be adjusted each time.

Further, in this embodiment, a convex portion 33 is provided in the middle of the charging groove 31, and the cross-sectional area of the convex portion 33 is equivalent to the material passing area of the material conveying port. The material passing area of the material conveying opening is also the cross-sectional area of the material conveying opening. The arrangement is such that when the charging chute 31 is in the closed position, the projection 33 can completely close off the delivery opening, thereby contributing to an enhanced sealing of the charging chute 31 to the delivery opening.

Further, in the present embodiment, the surface of the convex portion 33 is provided in a shape of a curved surface. The arc shape is such that the cross-sectional area of the projection 33 is gradually reduced from the bottom to the top. Therefore, on one hand, in the process that the feeding trough 31 moves from the working position to the closing position, the convex part 33 can gradually block the material conveying opening, so that the blocking function of the feeding trough 31 to the hopper 32 is prevented from being failed due to the fact that feed is clamped between the convex part 33 and the material conveying opening; on the other hand, when the feeding chute 31 moves from the closed position to the working position, the convex portion 33 may form a guiding surface, and the guiding surface may guide the feed dropped from the feeding port to the peripheral side of the convex portion 33, that is, closer to the discharging port 311, thereby facilitating the direct throwing of the feed.

The cross-sectional shape of the inside of the sleeve 34 is matched with the cross-sectional shape of the driving block 36, and is configured to be circular. When the motor 35 rotates forwards, the rotating shaft 351 rotates forwards to drive the driving block 36 to rotate synchronously, and the driving block 36 is screwed with the sleeve 34 to drive the motor 35, the rotating shaft 351 and the feeding groove 31 to ascend, so that the feeding groove 31 not only rotates, but also the feeding groove 31 is switched from the working position to the closing position; on the contrary, when the motor 35 rotates reversely, the rotating shaft 351 rotates reversely to drive the driving block 36 to rotate synchronously, and the driving block 36 is screwed with the sleeve 34 to drive the motor 35, the rotating shaft 351 and the feeding trough 31 to move downwards, so that not only the rotation of the feeding trough 31 is realized, but also the switching of the feeding trough 31 from the closing position to the working position is realized. With such an arrangement, the feeding trough 31 can be driven to rotate and move up and down simultaneously by the group of driving devices, and the feeding trough 31 can rotate and move up or down, so that the range of a feeding area of the feed can be further expanded.

Next, in this embodiment, the feeding device 3 further includes a damping member 37, and the damping member 37 is disposed between the motor 35 and the bottom wall of the sleeve 34. The damping member 37 is, for example, a spring member, and the damping member 37 not only serves to reduce the impact of the movement of the motor 35 on the sleeve 34, but also helps to enhance the supporting capability of the motor 35.
