Application for application of Article 30, Paragraph 2 of the Patent Law (1) Website publication date: December 12, 1st year of Reiwa Website address: https: // www. orix-realstate. co. jp https: // www. orix-realstate. co. jp / news / pdf / press_191212_2. pdf (2) Release date: July 16, 2nd year Release location: Sumida Aquarium (1-1-2 Oshiage, Sumida-ku, Tokyo Tokyo Sky Tree Town Solamachi 5F / 6F)

The present invention relates to an aquarium for ornamental jellyfish, and allows the ecology and growth of jellyfish floating in the aquarium to be viewed and observed more closely from above and from the side of the aquarium.

In recent years, ornamental aquariums in aquariums have become larger, and along with this, the walls of the aquarium are made of thick acrylic resin that is strong enough to withstand water pressure, and there are no pillars that obstruct the view. It is designed so that visitors can see the inside of the vast aquarium as wide as possible.

In particular, there is also known a tank dedicated to jellyfish that has been devised so that the appearance of the jellyfish floating in the water tank can be seen through the wall of the water tank.

For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a invention of a jellyfish ornamental aquarium equipped with a pump for circulating water in the aquarium and a jellyfish ornamental effect tool installed on a bottom plate located above the pump. There is.

The jellyfish ornamental effector has a tilting member with a surface that tilts toward the bottom plate as it approaches the center from the periphery. The inclined member is formed in a substantially regular quadrangular pyramid shape, and a large number of first through holes through which water can pass in the vertical direction are formed at substantially uniform intervals throughout the inclined member. Further, a second through hole having a larger area than the first through hole is formed at the center or near the center of the inclined member, and the injection port hole of the pump is connected to the second through hole.

Then, when the pump operates, the water in the water tank is sucked into the suction port of the pump and is injected into the water tank from the injection port of the pump. At this time, near the center of the water tank, water from the injection port of the pump is sprayed toward the water surface of the water tank through the second through hole of the jellyfish viewing effect tool, and near the wall surface of the water tank, from the water surface to the bottom. A water stream is generated toward the pump, and the water passes through the first through hole of the jellyfish ornamental effect tool and is sucked into the suction port of the pump.

As a result, a vertical flow of water is generated in the aquarium, and according to the flow of the water, the jellyfish rises toward the water surface in the center of the aquarium and descends from the water surface toward the bottom near the wall surface in the aquarium. However, it hits the tilting member of the jellyfish ornamental effect tool, moves toward the second through hole along the tilting, and repeats the operation of rising toward the water surface by the water from the injection port of the pump. ..

However, many of the aquarium's ornamental aquariums are only large in size, and the jellyfish floating in the aquarium can only be viewed from one side of the aquarium in a two-dimensional manner. It's no longer satisfying.

In addition, many of them are installed integrally with building structures such as walls and slabs due to the increase in size, so it is almost impossible to move after installation, and when installing on the upper floors, It was necessary to separately reinforce structures such as floors, beams, and columns, or to plan from the beginning of construction so that the installation of water tanks could be accommodated.

Further, since the jellyfish ornamental aquarium disclosed in Patent Document 1 is for admiring the jellyfish floating in the vertical direction in the aquarium through the transparent side wall surface of the aquarium, it lacks novelty and freshness and is not always satisfying to the visitors. It didn't make me.

The present invention has been made in view of such a situation, and in particular, it is possible to observe and observe the ecology of jellyfish floating calmly by leaving the inside of the aquarium to the water flow, and also on the upper floor of the building. The purpose is to provide a jellyfish ornamental aquarium that can be installed relatively easily.

The present invention is an invention of a water tank for ornamental jellyfish, and a deck is provided in which the upper part is open (open air), the upper part is formed in an elliptical shape in a plan view, and the deck protrudes from the peripheral edge onto the water surface in the water tank. It is characterized by being.

The planar shape of the water tank is not particularly limited as long as the wall surface does not obstruct the water flow and the jellyfish can float smoothly along the wall surface, and an elliptical shape is generally preferable.

In addition, by installing a deck that overhangs the water surface in the aquarium from the peripheral edge of the aquarium, when a visitor stands on the deck, he / she feels a floating feeling as if he / she is standing on the water surface, and also with a jellyfish. You can feel a sense of unity. In particular, if the floor of the deck is made transparent with a transparent acrylic resin plate or tempered glass, the effect will be doubled.

Further, by providing a raised floor around the water tank, which is raised from the floor on which the water tank is arranged, and forming continuous slopes and holes along the circumferential direction of the water tank by the raised floor, visitors can visit the water tank. You can watch and observe the floating jellyfish from above and from the side of the aquarium while moving around the aquarium. The raised floor may be a bundled floor in which the floor is supported by a floor bundle.

In addition, since it is formed in the shape of a basin with a shallow water depth, if the building is designed under a predetermined load, the length of the major axis and the minor axis will be approximately 7 m each in the case of an elliptical shape in a plan view. If it is 3 m and the water depth is about 60 cm, it can be installed on the floor upstairs by placing a part on the beam, and jellyfish can also live without any trouble.

With the jellyfish ornamental aquarium of the present invention, you can leave the inside of the aquarium to the water flow and enjoy the ecology of the jellyfish floating in a relaxed manner, especially when standing on a transparent deck overhanging inside the aquarium. It can give visitors a sense of floating and a sense of unity with the jellyfish as if they were standing on the surface of the water.

Further, a raised floor is provided around the water tank, which is raised from the floor on which the water tank is arranged, and the raised floor forms continuous slopes and holes along the circumferential direction of the water tank. A person can observe and observe the jellyfish floating in the aquarium more closely from above and from the side while moving around the aquarium.

In addition, since it is formed in the shape of a basin with a shallow water depth, if the building is designed under a predetermined load, only a part of it can be placed on the beam, and in principle, there is no special reinforcement. It can also be installed on the floor upstairs.

Furthermore, since it is a structure independent of the structure such as the wall and floor of the building and is a type of water tank that is simply placed on the floor, it can be moved relatively easily even after installation.

It is a plan view of the jellyfish ornamental water tank formed in the shape of an elliptical basin in a plan view, which is an embodiment of the present invention. It is a view of the arrow of the arrow in FIG. 1. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line in FIG.

1 to 3 are embodiments of the present invention, illustrating an ornamental aquarium for jellyfish (hereinafter referred to as "aquarium").

In the figure, the water tank 1 is formed in an elliptical shape in a plan view (about 7 m on the long axis and about 3 m on the short axis), and is formed in a shallow basin shape with a water depth of about 60 cm.

Further, the wall surface 1a of the water tank 1 is formed in a curved surface shape continuous in the circumferential direction of the water tank 1 so as not to obstruct the water flow in the water tank 1, and a handrail 1b is provided at the upper end portion of the wall surface 1a.

In addition, the water tank 1 is installed directly on the floor slab 2, and when it is installed on the upper floor of a building designed under a load of a certain value or more, a part of it is a beam (not shown). By installing it on the top, special reinforcement to support the load of the water tank 1 can be omitted in principle, or it is formed so that it can be handled by simple reinforcement. In this case, the load of the water tank 1 is transmitted to the pillars 3 and 3 arranged on both sides of the water tank 1 via the beams connecting the pillars 3 and 3.

Further, a floor raised from the floor slab 2 (hereinafter referred to as “raised floor”) 4 is continuously provided around the water tank 1 in the circumferential direction of the water tank 1, and the raised floor 4 is provided on one end side of the water tank 1 in the long axis direction. From (the left end in FIG. 1) to the other end (the right end in FIG. 1), a slope 4a having an ascending slope gentler than the floor slab 2 is formed.

Further, a relatively wide hole 4b is provided in a portion beyond the tip of the slope 4a toward the other end side in the long axis direction of the water tank 1, and a relatively gentle uphill slope 4c is provided in a portion beyond the hole 4b. , These slopes 4a, holes 4b and slopes 4c are continuously formed in the circumferential direction of the water tank 1.

Further, at the tip of the slope 4c, a hole 4d and several steps 4e descending on the floor slab 2 are continuously provided. In particular, the hole 4d is raised to the same height as the wall surface 1a of the water tank 1, and a deck 5 is provided at a portion of the hole 4d in contact with the water tank 1 so as to horizontally project above the water surface in the water tank 1.

The deck 5 is formed in a circular arc shape in a plan view with the pillar 3 as the central axis, and a handrail 5b continuous in an arc shape along the peripheral edge of the floor 5a is provided at the tip end portion thereof.

Further, the deck 5 has a structure independent of the water tank 1 so that the floor load of the deck 5 does not act on the wall surface 1a of the water tank 1. In this case, the deck 5 is structurally independent of the water tank 1 by constructing a plurality of columns 5c on the floor slab 2 near the water tank and projecting the floor 5a from the columns 5c in the form of a cantilever. (See Fig. 3).

Further, the floor 5a and the handrail 5b of the deck 5 are formed of a transparent acrylic plate, tempered glass, or the like, so that when a visitor stands on the deck 5, it is as if he / she is standing on the surface of the water. You can feel the sense of unity between the floating feeling and the jellyfish that floats calmly in the aquarium.

Further, since the slopes 4a and 4c and the holes 4b are continuously provided in the circumferential direction of the water tank 1 by the raised floor 4, visitors who move on the slopes 4a and 4c can move the jellyfish floating in the water tank 1 around the water tank 1. It is possible to observe and appreciate from multiple directions while moving.

Further, the wall surface 1c of the water tank 1 facing the stairs 4e is transparently formed by a transparent acrylic plate, tempered glass, or the like. As a result, visitors can stop in front of the wall surface 1c and watch the jellyfish floating in the aquarium 1 through the wall surface 1c from the side.

The positions, shapes, slopes, etc. of the slopes and holes are not limited, and may be arbitrarily set according to the planar shape, scale, etc. of the water tank 1.

According to the present invention, the ecology and growth of jellyfish floating in the aquarium can be observed and observed more closely from above and from the side of the aquarium.
