Description

BeschreibungDescription

Eiweißabschäumer der üblichen Bauart benötigen, wenn sie außerhalb des Meeresaquariums betrieben werden, eine elektrische Förderpumpe, die das Aquarienwasser zum Abschäumer hin und zurück in das Aquarium pumpt.Protein skimmers of the usual design, when operated outside the marine aquarium, require an electric feed pump that pumps the aquarium water to the skimmer and back into the aquarium.

Das Problem, das der Entwicklung der in Schuizanspruch 1 angegebenen Erfindung zugrundeiiegt, ist der technische Aulwand, den der Hnsalz einer elektrischen Förderpumpe darstellt. Der Abschäumer wird in Anschaffung und Betrieb verteuert und seine installation und Wartung erschwert.The problem underlying the development of the invention specified in claim 1 is the technical outlay that the use of an electric feed pump represents. The skimmer becomes more expensive to purchase and operate and its installation and maintenance are made more difficult.

Dieses Problem wird dadurch gelöst, daß ein S-förmiges Rohr (1 und 3) das Wasser aus dem Aquarium herausführt, es durch den gesamten Abschäumer hindurchführt, um es über das Wasserniveau des Aquariums hinaussteigen zu lassen, so daß es passiv in das Aquarium zurückfließen kann. Dadurch kann die Auftriebskraft der Luftblasen, die beim Abschäumvorgang im Kontaktrohr {3} nach oben steigen, ausgenutzt werden, um das Wasser im Rohr zu bewegen. Damit entfällt die Notwendigkeit, für den transport des Wassers eine elektrische Förderpumpe einzusetzen. Während der Passage des Kontaktrohres findet der Abschäumvorgang statt; die Schadstoffe sammeln sich, wie bei üblichen Abschäumern auch, im oben befindlichen Schaumbecher (4).This problem is solved by an S-shaped pipe (1 and 3) leading the water out of the aquarium, passing it through the entire skimmer to allow it to rise above the water level of the aquarium so that it can flow passively back into the aquarium. This means that the buoyancy of the air bubbles that rise up in the contact tube {3} during the skimming process can be used to move the water in the pipe. This eliminates the need to use an electric feed pump to transport the water. The skimming process takes place while the water is passing through the contact tube; the pollutants collect in the top skimmer cup (4), as with conventional skimmers.

Durch die vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung, die in Schulzanspruch 2 wiedergegeben ist, läßt sich ein weiteres Problem lösen, das bei der üblichen Wasserzuleitung mit einem separaten Überlaufrohr und einer flexiblen Schlauchverbindung entsteht: die Einzelteile müssen fachgerecht installiert und wasserdicht verbunden werden, um einen störungsfreien Betrieb sicherzustellen.The advantageous embodiment of the invention, which is set out in claim 2, solves another problem that arises with the usual water supply with a separate overflow pipe and a flexible hose connection: the individual parts must be professionally installed and connected in a watertight manner in order to ensure trouble-free operation.

Die Lösung dieses Probiemes besteht darin, daß das Überlaufrohr fl), durch welches das Wasser vom Aquarium in den Abschäumer gelangt, eine feste und unbewegliche Einheit mit dem Abschäumer bildet. Es handelt sich dabei um ein Rohr, das durch seine Formgebung automatisch eine Verbindung zwischen dem Aquarium und dem Abschäumer herstellt, sobald der Abschäumer am Aquarienrand (5) angehängt wird. Dadurch wird die Installation des Abschäumers auch ohne Fachkenntnis und sachgerechte Montagearbeit möglich.The solution to this problem is that the overflow pipe (fl), through which the water flows from the aquarium into the skimmer, forms a fixed and immovable unit with the skimmer. It is a pipe which, due to its shape, automatically creates a connection between the aquarium and the skimmer as soon as the skimmer is hung on the edge of the aquarium (5). This makes it possible to install the skimmer even without specialist knowledge and proper assembly work.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung mit beiden Schutzansprüchen wird in Fig.l dargestellt. Die Abbildung enthält folgende Details:An embodiment of the invention with both protection claims is shown in Fig.l. The figure contains the following details:

1. Überlaufrohr1. Overflow pipe
