Description

  The present invention relates to cooling the breeding water of an aquarium fish tank by using heat-absorbing material and heat of vaporization.

  Conventionally, a method for lowering the temperature of breeding water in summer is any method of installing a dedicated cooler or installing an air cooling fan, lifting up a lighting fixture, or cooling an entire aquarium installation room with an indoor cooler.

  The dedicated cooler is expensive and increases the room temperature due to exhaust heat. Air-cooled fans have a limited area for cooling and have limited cooling. The constant operation of the indoor cooler has disadvantages such as high cost of electricity.

  In addition, the following patent document 1 and nonpatent literature 1 can be mentioned as a well-known technique relevant to this invention device.

  JP 9-318192 A   http: \\ crs. dreamygreen. com / qa / qa_top. Measures for breeding hydrothermal in summer during html.

  As described above, the installation of an air cooling fan is the lowest cost and easy, but the cooling effect is the worst because the area for promoting the vaporization heat action is limited to the area of the water surface of the aquarium.

  For this reason, in the summer, the breeding water temperature cannot be lowered to the optimum temperature for growing appreciation fish, and a huge amount of aquatic plants and living organisms are killed every year.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and its purpose is to use the heat of vaporization by branching water from the water purification device outlet of the current use to the air cooling fan user with the highest installation frequency. By increasing the cooling area, the cooling power can be increased and the target breeding water temperature can be maintained.

  The cooling device of the present invention that achieves the above-mentioned object is a cooling device for an aquarium for ornamental fish using an air cooling fan, characterized by a water channel with a water-absorbing material attached.

  As an example, the water-absorbing material is in the form of a water retention state with breeding water supplied from a water purification device pump and passed through.

  Because it is installed on the surface of the aquarium, the breeding water always falls from the breeding water held in the water-absorbing material to the aquarium, and the water-absorbing material receives the wind of the air cooling fan installed to cool the aquarium fish tank. A shape that promotes cooling by air heating during the state.

  The waterway has a water inlet and a water outlet, and the shape is such that the breeding water is returned from the outlet to the aquarium more than the water absorption capacity of the water-absorbing material.

  As described above, according to the present invention, the breeding water branched from the water outlet of the appreciation fish water purification device is fed from the water inlet of this device, so that the breeding water accumulates in the waterway, the water-absorbing material becomes water retaining state, The breeding water is cooled by vaporization heat by the air cooling fan while the breeding water falls into the aquarium from the state, and it is extremely effective for cooling the breeding water by circulating the breeding water. It is extremely effective in preventing the death of aquarium fish and aquatic plants that are vulnerable to high temperatures by preventing the temperature of breeding water from rising.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  1 to 3 relate to a first embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 1 is an external perspective view installed in a water tank, FIG. 2 is an external perspective view of the apparatus, and FIG. 3 is a transverse sectional view of a central portion.

  As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, this cooling device is a structure having a water channel that allows water to pass through, and as shown in FIG. 3, the water-absorbing material is always used for breeding water that is attached to each water channel and supplied to the water channel. It becomes a state.

  Although the water-absorbing material has a high cooling effect when it is away from the water surface of the water tank, the same effect can be obtained even if it is in contact with the water surface.

  Water is supplied to the waterway by diverging from the water outlet of the appreciation fish water purification device.

  If water cannot be supplied by the appreciation fish water purification device, use a small pump dedicated to ornamental fish.

  For general ornamental fish growers, the cooling effect can be enhanced simply by adding this cooling device to the air cooling fan, so that it can be used safely.

  In order to prevent the water temperature from dropping too much, an overcooling can be prevented by attaching a thermostat to the air cooling fan.

  The material of the waterway and the water-absorbing material should be those that will not dissolve or rust out the components that are harmful to the living organisms and bacteria that have water purification effects.

  By adjusting the amount of water at the inlet and outlet of the water channel, the water channel is always filled with breeding water, the water-absorbing material is always kept on the surface of the tank, and the breeding water cooled by the air cooling fan falls into the tank.

  The cooling device can be installed by changing the height of the air cooling fan for each breeder and the size of the water tank, the height of the surface of the breeding water, and the size of the water purification device used. .

  Instead of installing an air cooling fan, the shape of the water channel is changed to the most efficient shape to promote cooling by heat of vaporization.

  By adjusting the width of the water channel, the effect of lighting mounted on the water surface of the aquarium is not prevented.

  By making the color of the water-absorbing material highly reflective in light, the effect of the illumination attached to the upper surface of the aquarium is not lost.

  The shape of the breeding water dropping surface of the water-absorbing material can be easily dropped as water droplets by making it into a wave shape or a saw shape, and there is no way of breeding water falling through the water-absorbing material in the case of long-term use.

  In the 60cm wide ornamental fish water layer for home use, there are 4 water channels of W1cm x H1cm x D35cm, and 2 water-absorbing materials of W0.1cm x H5cm x D30cm are attached to each waterway, for a total of 8 water-absorbing materials Can be installed in the waterway.

  Although the embodiment and examples of the present invention have been described above, the size of the cooling device shown in FIG. 2 is the size according to the size of an average domestic water tank of W60 cm × H35 cm × D30 cm. However, the size of the aquarium fish water layer is not limited to this, and the water length of the cooling device of the present invention, the number of the water channel, the shape of the water channel, the shape and the number of the water-absorbing material are to enhance the cooling effect. It is not limited to this.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the water-absorbing material absorbs water by a capillary phenomenon, and the breeding water falls into the water tank and circulates. However, a water channel shape that directly supplies water to the water-absorbing material without using the capillary phenomenon is also possible. .

  The water-absorbing material preferably has a high water-absorbing ability and a capillary phenomenon occurs, but a material having a similar water-retaining ability can also be used.

  Since this invention can cool breeding water only by installing on an aquarium fish tank, it can be used in the industrial field of manufacturing and selling appreciation fish supplies.

  It is an external appearance perspective view installed in the water tank upper surface of the 1st Embodiment of this invention.   It is an external appearance perspective view of a cooling device.   FIG. 3 is a transverse cross-sectional view of the center portion of FIG. 2.
