Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an aquarium cleaning device for ornamental fish breeding, which allows the inside of the aquarium to be kept clean when the fish are raised in the aquarium for viewing.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 To keep fish for ornamental use, gravel was placed on the bottom of the aquarium and water suitable for the fish to be kept was put in to hold the aquatic plants with the gravel. To improve the environment, artificial light is used instead of sunlight, a thermostat is used to maintain a constant temperature, an air pump for sending air into the water, and even if the water becomes dirty due to fish dung etc. There was a filter to do so.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 In this way, the environment is adjusted, but the treatment of the dung of fish is quite difficult in this, and the dirt of water is removed by the conventional filter device for removing water dirt or the natural decomposition method by bacteria. It is inevitable to clean the aquarium from time to time because it is not possible to clean it well, especially the gaps in the laid gravel and the dung that attaches to the surrounding water plants. Cleaning this aquarium is tedious, spending time without cleaning it, or leaving it muddy and dirty, making it less valuable for ornamental use and sometimes killing fish. I felt very inconvenient in terms of breeding and admiration.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention eliminates such inconveniences and provides an aquarium fish tank cleaning device that can keep the inside of the tank clean by preventing the accumulation of dung or litter at the bottom. On the upper part of the box-shaped receiver with the bottom plate inclined so that it becomes deeper toward the center and the supporting legs are provided below, a support plate with a mesh of appropriate size is punched in a mesh shape, and the filtration device and the center of the bottom plate are connected. The submersible pump is connected to the injection pipe by installing an injection pipe, which is connected by a pipe and has a plurality of ejection ports at appropriate locations so that it faces slightly downward, with the ejection port facing inward on the bottom plate.

[0005]

[Action]

 Gravel of suitable size from the mesh is laid on the backing plate, water is put in the tank and the aquatic plants are pressed by the gravel, and the submersible pump and the filtration device are operated to put the ornamental fish in the water. When the fish becomes dung, the dung accumulates on the bottom plate through the mesh of the receiving plate from the gravel and is sent to the center where the bottom plate becomes deep by the water flow ejected from the jet by the submersible pump. Then, along with the water, the dung is sent through a pipe to a filtration device, and the dung is filtered and cleaned, and the purified water is jetted to the upper part of the tank. The fish dung thus collected is collected in one place and sent to a filtration device for filtration. The drip is guided by a stream of water so that the dung will not accumulate in the gravel and dropped onto the bottom plate. For this reason, it is easy to clean because there is very little dirt due to dung and it is only necessary to clean the filter of the filtration device. If the water tank is small, it is not necessary to install an injection pipe, but it is easier to collect the dung etc. in one place and the inside of the water tank can be kept clean. Also, the submersible pump may be used in combination with not only one submersible pump but also two or three submersible pumps depending on the size of the submersible tank. If the submersible pump has a large capacity, one submersible pump may be used for several submersible tanks. You may do it.

【Example】

 Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a box-shaped receiving body in which a bottom plate 1a is inclined toward the center so as to become deeper and a concave saucer 1b is provided in the center, and a side plate 1c is provided on the outer periphery and a supporting leg is provided in a direction opposite to the side plate 1c. A plurality of columns 2 are provided, and a column 1e having a support plate 1d at the upper end is placed on the front and back of the bottom plate 1a so that the upper end face of the side plate 1c and the support plate 1d are flush with each other and the lower end of the column 1e is flush with the bottom face of the tray 1b. The saucer 1b is provided on the bottom side in the water tank 3. Reference numeral 4 denotes a receiving plate provided with a mesh 4a having an appropriate size in a mesh shape, which is installed on the receiving body 1. Reference numeral 5 denotes a frame-shaped injection pipe having a quadrangular cross section that can be installed inside the side plate 1c, and a plurality of ejection ports 5a are bored at appropriate positions so as to face slightly downward and are connected to the submersible pump 6. Reference numeral 7 is a known filtration device provided above the water tank 3, which is connected to the tray 1b by a pipe 7a to enable filtration and circulation of waste water. 8 is an aquatic plant, and a gravel 9 of a suitable size and made of thin pebbles is provided on the receiving plate 4, and the aquatic plant 8 is pressed by the gravel 9 and placed in the aquarium 3 to breed the fish 10.

In use, the gravel 9 is laid on the receiving plate 4, water is put in the water tank 3, the aquatic plant 8 is pressed by the gravel 9, and the fish 10 is put in and raised. At this time, when the fish 10 makes a dung, the dung passes between the gravel 9 and the mesh 4a and falls onto the bottom plate 1a. At the same time, the submersible pump 6 is operated to spout water from the jet port 5a of the injection pipe 5 and the dropping dung or floating dung or dung between the gravel 9 is fed toward the central saucer 1b. . The dung and refuse sent to the tray 1b are sent to the filter device 7 through the pipe 7a together with water by the operation of the filter device 7 and filtered to become clean water, which is then jetted to the upper part of the water tank 3. Such an operation is continuously performed to keep the inside of the water tank 3 clean. When used for a certain period of time, it is sufficient to clean the filter of the filtration device 7 and the water tank 3 may be cleaned when it is extremely dirty. Further, when the gravel 9 is laid on the receiving plate 4, the supporting plate 1d and the support 1e support the receiving plate 4 so that the weight of the gravel 9 does not cause the receiving plate 4 to bend.

[0008]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, since the dung and the litter are collected in the center and the collected dung and litter is sucked up and filtered with the water by the filtering device, the aquarium can be always clean with a simple structure. In addition, cleaning is easy because you only have to clean the filter of the filtration device, and by spraying water, the dung and litter that has accumulated or floated between the gravel and the dung and litter that have dropped. Since it can be reliably sent to the center, dirt on water due to dung can be kept to a minimum, which is an extremely excellent idea in practice.
