  The material of the suction pipe 4 and the conduit 42 is not particularly limited, but is preferably formed of a resin such as polyvinyl chloride from the viewpoint of manufacturing cost and ease of manufacturing.

  By the way, in the present apparatus 1, various shapes of the discharge pipe 3 and the suction pipe 4 can be adopted. Examples of this case are shown in FIGS. In this way, various things can be adopted, and it is possible to cope with the use of cheese, elbows, sockets and the like regardless of the shape and size of the water tank.

  FIG. 3 shows an L-shaped pipe using an elbow. Caps 311 and 411 each having a discharge or suction hole and elbows 312 and 412 are detachably connected to each other. In this case, it is preferable that the discharge hole 31 or the suction hole 41 is provided in at least one of the caps 311 and 411 and the elbows 312 and 412 from the viewpoint of more efficient water flow generation.

In this case, it is preferable that the discharge hole 31 or the suction hole 41 is provided in at least one of the caps 311 and 411 and the sockets 314 and 414 from the viewpoint of more efficient water flow generation.

  FIG. 6 shows an example in which L-shaped pipes using elbows 312 and 412 are arranged in the opposite direction, and caps 311 and 411 each having a discharge hole or a suction hole and elbows 312 and 412 are provided. Removably connected. In this case, it is preferable that the discharge hole 31 or the suction hole 41 is provided in at least one of the caps 311 and 411 and the elbows 312 and 412 from the viewpoint of more efficient water flow generation.

  FIG. 7 shows a T-shaped pipe using cheeses 313 and 413, and caps 311 and 411 having holes for discharging or suction and cheeses 313 and 413 are detachably connected to each other. . In this case, at least one of the caps 311 and 411 and the cheese 313 and 413 is preferably provided with the discharge hole 31 or the suction hole 41 from the viewpoint of more efficient water flow generation.

  These pipes are fixed to the wall surface or the bottom surface by the fixtures 61 and 62 shown in FIG. Thereby, it can prevent that arrangement | positioning shifts | deviates unnecessarily by a water flow, a vibration, etc. In the drawing, a fixing portion 61 is for connecting and fixing tubes, and a fixing portion 62 is for fixing the tube to the bottom member 23 or the wall member 24. However, it is also possible to prevent the wall member 24 from falling by attaching a fixing jig or the like directly.

  In the present apparatus 1, the partition member 5 includes a partition plate 51 and a tube storage member 52.

  As described above, the partition plate 51 can partition the water tank 2 into the main chamber 21 and the sub chamber 22. Further, as described above, a large number of through holes 511 are formed in the partition plate 51. As a result, it has the function of the partition plate 51 and allows water to pass therethrough.

  The number and size of the through holes 511 in the partition plate 51 are not particularly limited. However, if the size is too large, there is a risk that floating organisms may enter the sub chamber. If the size is too small, water is difficult to pass through and the flow balance is lost. For this reason, it is necessary to adjust as appropriate. Moreover, if it is polygonal shapes, such as a square, it is preferable that the said hole is a magnitude | size which fits in a 1 mm diameter circle, or a 10 mm diameter circle. Moreover, when it is an elongate hole, it is preferable that the width | variety is 1 mm or more and 10 mm or less so that a floating organism may not penetrate | invade into a subchamber as mentioned above.

  In the present embodiment, the through-hole 511 is provided in the partition plate 51 from the viewpoint of explanation. However, for example, the partition plate 51 may be divided into a plurality of members and a gap may be provided between them. The distance of this gap is the same as the width of the elongated hole.

  Moreover, in this apparatus, although the arrangement density of the through-holes 511 formed in the partition plate 51 may be evenly arranged in the partition plate 51, the through-hole 511 is not provided on the side close to the water surface, and the bottom member side. It is also possible to adopt a structure in which many through-holes 511 are provided as the line goes to. In this way, when the water discharged from the discharge pipe 3 passes through the bottom member 23 and the wall member 24 and further returns to the partition plate 5 side, a large number of through holes 511 are formed in the partition plate 5. If it exists, the flow of the water which leaves the partition plate 5 will increase as it is, and it can prevent that the flow of the water along the partition plate 51 in the main chamber 21 becomes weak.

  Moreover, in this apparatus 1, it is also preferable that the partition plate fastener 53 for fixing the partition plate 51 is provided. By providing the partition plate fastener 53, the partition plate 51 can be stably fixed, and the main chamber can be freely used as long as it is a rectangular water tank formed with a certain width as shown in the figure. It is possible to adjust the size of the sub chamber.

  Further, the pipe storage member 52 of the present apparatus 1 is connected to the partition plate 51 and can store the discharge pipe 3, and in combination with the partition plate 51, the main chamber and the sub chamber can be clearly separated. It is.

  Although the pipe storage member 52 is not limited, the pipe storage member 52 includes a recess 521 that is recessed toward the sub chamber, and the discharge pipe 3 can be stored in the recess 521. In this apparatus 1, the unevenness | corrugation which arises by a member is reduced as much as possible by accommodating the discharge pipe 3 in this way, a smoother water flow can be produced, and it can prevent being damaged by a floating organism being caught. Further, since the discharge pipe 3 is covered with the pipe housing member 52, a planar water flow can be easily formed, and a smoother water flow can be generated from this viewpoint.

  More specifically, the tip position 3A on the main chamber side of the discharge pipe 3 accommodated by the pipe accommodating member 52 is preferably located on the sub chamber side with respect to the surface formed by the partition plate 51. By doing in this way, the part which protruded from the partition plate 51 is lose | eliminated, and it becomes possible to form a smoother water flow.

  The tube storage member 52 is preferably, but not limited to, detachable from the partition plate 51. By doing in this way, the height of the whole partition member 5 can be adjusted only by changing only the pipe accommodating member 52 according to the pipe diameter of the discharge pipe 3. Further, the gap position can be freely set by dividing the tube housing member 52 into a plurality of parts as will be described later. An image in this case is shown in FIG.

  Moreover, it is preferable that the pipe | tube accommodation member 52 is divided | segmented into plurality as shown also in the said figure. By dividing into a plurality of parts, it becomes possible to remove or move a part thereof, and to accommodate the position of a member (connecting member) connected to another pipe such as a so-called elbow that differs depending on the shape of the discharge pipe 3, etc. 52 can be arranged. In the example of FIG. 1, an example in which the discharge pipe 3 and its conduit 32 are L-shaped pipes by elbows is shown.

  FIG. 9 shows an example in which the tube housing member 52 is divided into a plurality of members and the intermediate position member is removed and used, unlike the example of FIG. That is, even if the size, type and application of the water tank are different and adjustment is required, it can be adjusted to the pipe shape and length. This figure shows an example of setting a so-called T-shaped pipe. In addition, this figure is a figure when the partition plate 51 and the pipe accommodating member 52 are removed. That is, according to the example of this figure, since attachment to various water tanks is possible, it becomes easy to breed floating organisms such as jellyfish. The shape of the existing water tank to the order water tank can be selected freely.

  Further, in the present apparatus 1, the discharge pipe 3 and the suction pipe 4 are not limited, but it is preferable that the discharge pipe 3 and the suction pipe 4 are arranged substantially parallel to each other with the pipe housing member 52 interposed therebetween. By doing in this way, it becomes possible to form a planar water flow similar to laminar flow, and more stable breeding is possible.

  Further, the apparatus 1 is provided with a pump (not shown) connected to the discharge pipe 3 and the suction pipe 4 for sending out water. That is, the water sucked by the suction pipe 4 and its conduit 42 can be sent out to the conduit 32 and the discharge pipe 3 by a pump and returned to the water tank. That is, the present apparatus 1 includes a partition in the water tank for viewing and floating of floating organisms, a discharge pipe 3 and a suction pipe 4 and a pump connected to them, thereby rotating and flowing water in the main chamber of the water tank. It becomes possible to make it.

  The pump may be provided in the same water tank, but it is preferable to provide the pump outside the water tank from the viewpoint of generating a smoother water flow and securing the main chamber 21 more widely.

  Moreover, in this apparatus, although demonstrated by the example which connects a some pipe | tube with connection members, such as an elbow, a cap, and cheese, the structure which opens a connection hole directly in a water tank and connects with an external pump etc. through this pipe | tube It is good.

  Moreover, although the example of this apparatus 1 has shown the example which provided the discharge pipe 3 and the water supply pipe 4 in the bottom member vicinity, it is not limited to this, For example, a certain amount of height (preferably water surface vicinity is preferable) It is also possible to provide the discharge pipe 3 at a position of (underwater) and arrange a water supply pipe in the vicinity of the partition pipe 51 in the vicinity of the discharge pipe 3. A sectional view (side surface) in this case is shown in FIG. Even if it is like this figure, it becomes possible to form a circulating water flow, and by arrange | positioning in the partition plate 51 vicinity, it becomes possible to make a subchamber smaller and to ensure a main chamber widely. Further, as an application example of the present apparatus 1, as shown in FIG. 11 (top view), the discharge pipe 3 and the water supply pipe 4 are set substantially perpendicular to the bottom surface to form a circulating water flow along the wall member. It is good. This figure is a view when the water tank is viewed from above.

  As a result, after 1 week, the umbrella grows to about 30 mm to 80 mm, after 2 weeks about 40 mm to 90 mm, and after one month, it grows to 60 mm to 110 mm. And the yield of moon jellyfish was 90%, 450 individuals were alive.

(Example 2)
In this example, instead of the moon jellyfish in Example 1 above, 10 adult coral anemones (diameter 100 mm) were bred using zooxanthellae as food. In addition, in order to accelerate | stimulate photosynthesis of the zooxanthella which is a nutrient source, the white cocoon illumination 60w was irradiated for 10 hours a day, and it grew with the water temperature of 25 degreeC.

  As a result, the diameter grew to about 102 mm after one week, about 104 mm after two weeks, and to 108 mm after one month. Nine 90% of the yield survived.

(Example 3)
In this example, instead of the moon jellyfish in Example 1 above, 100 larvae of half-year-old larvae of the clown fish that are 30 mm in length are fed once a day with a commercially available dry bait S size (manufactured by Sankeisha) as a bait. And grown at a water temperature of 26 ° C.

  As a result, the body length grew to about 32 mm after one week, about 34 mm after two weeks, and to 38 mm after one month. A yield of 98 individuals survived 98%.

  As described above, the effect of the present invention was confirmed.

The present invention has industrial applicability as a water tank apparatus.
