Description

  The present invention relates to a fish tank.

When fish such as goldfish are bred in an aquarium, the water in the aquarium becomes toxic because extra goldfish food eventually accumulates at the bottom of the aquarium. Professionals circulate water with pumps and purify water with filters, but the equipment is often complex and large.
For a small number of goldfish, it is effective to biotreat water, and as such, it can be bred without changing water for a long time, and various methods have been devised and sold.
Nevertheless, occasional water treatment and water change work are necessary.

The problem to be solved is that the water change becomes a very laborious work, and if the water is discarded, the useful bacteria in the aquarium disappears and the goldfish may weaken against the purpose.
It is unexpectedly difficult for amateurs to maintain favorable water quality.

Means to solve the problem

In order to achieve the above object, the water tank is duplicated in the present invention.
There are various methods for duplexing, but if you can, you don't want to get your hands dirty, so you have a shallow structure with a handle on the product container.
Put the inventive container in the water tank, and put the air pump outlet and decorations on it. After a few days, leave the goldfish in the aquarium, remove the container from the aquarium, and wash the container with water. Set the container in the water tank again.
When washing the main tank, the work is completed by collecting the goldfish in the container, cleaning it, and putting it back.

Effect of device

There are stones such as activated carbon, ornaments and air pumps in the aquarium, but these accessories can be collected at the same time, and fish excrement could be purified together. Fish excrement can be removed without having to change water as usual.
The weight can be reduced, and the product body can be easily washed with water. Since the goldfish can be temporarily stored with water in the devised container body, the improvement effect such as easy cleaning of the aquarium body was obtained.

Since there are small products and large products in the aquarium, a duplex container adapted to the large and small sizes is required. A structure that can lift the entire container is desirable. The central part of the container shall be open so that various remaining containers can be used. Then, it can be used as a triple.
It is necessary to ensure the strength of the duplex container according to the size of the aquarium, it is better to change the size of the cavity for the size of the fish, and the H-shaped handle is better in strength. If a drain plug is attached, drainage and water storage can be performed.
There is also a method of configuring the duplex container as a three-dimensional design.

FIG. 1 shows an example of the device of the present invention. It is a simple three-dimensional drawing and shows an example of a basic product. Holds the handle of the container and can be installed in the aquarium.
The air pump outlet, decorations, and aquatic plants may be set in the center of the container in advance and then installed in the water tank.
Circulation pumps and filters may be installed depending on the situation.
The cavity 3 in the drawing can drain water quickly when the container is taken out of the water tank, and can be used as a path for goldfish when the container is installed.
When cleaning, the handle 1 can be lifted and washed with water, including pumps and ornaments, so that the work can be done easily. Reinstall after cleaning.

Industrial applicability

It can be used not only for goldfish tanks but also for tropical fish tanks.
It is effective when raising a large amount of fish or managing a large amount of aquarium.
Even large-scale aquariums that use a circulation pump may be available because sometimes cleaning is necessary.
It can also be applied to small aquatic animals such as turtles.
There is also a method in which the container is made into a net structure and a water receiver is placed thereon.
There is also a method of making the container of the idea with a three-dimensional structure that imitates the underwater scenery such as rocks, making it a colorful and fun aquarium. Installation can be simplified by incorporating the air pump outlet. Washing with water is equally easy.
If the drain plugs are provided in two vertical stages, the water retention amount can be adjusted.

Maintaining good water quality is unexpectedly difficult.

Means to solve the problem

,
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has doubled the water tank.
There are various methods for duplicating, but it is easy to make a transparent or colored plastic container with a handle separately from the aquarium, and install it alone or in two rows and three rows with a decorative stone as a weight in the aquarium. is there.
Put the designed double container in the water tank, and put the air pump spout, decoration stones and decorations on it. When appropriate, leave the goldfish in the aquarium and take out the double container of the invention from the aquarium with a handle and wash the container.

Effect of device

There are stones such as activated carbon, ornaments and air pumps in the aquarium, but these accessories can be collected at the same time, and the aquarium could be washed with water.
It was possible to reduce the weight, and the goldfish could be temporarily stored with the water in the double container of the invention, so that the improvement effect such as easy cleaning of the aquarium body was obtained.
In the case of parallel installation, it is possible to guide the goldfish into one duplex container, take out the duplex container from the water tank and wash it with water.
Therefore, a simple dual water tank for beginners can be configured.

Since there are small products and large products in the water tank, there is a need for a double container that matches the large and small size, but it is considered sufficient to be compatible with small water tanks.
The structure in which the entire container can be lifted is good, and two or more double water tanks may be arranged in one water tank. It is necessary to ensure the strength of the double container, and a structure that can change the size of the cavity according to the size of the fish is good.
It is preferable that the size of the hollow portion can be adjusted by screwing or pushing.
The H-type handle is better in strength. The handle should be a handle that can be opened and closed depending on the situation. Alternatively, an arch-shaped round handle can be used. A function may be added to the hollow portion that opens when draining and closes when storing water. If a hollow part such as a circle or a square is formed on the side surface or bottom surface of the container together with the handle at the manufacturing stage, the simplest duplex container can be obtained. A fairly large round or square window is more versatile.
Stainless steel containers and metal containers can be easily installed due to their weight, but plastic containers are light and have the property of floating, so it is better to set ornamental stones and ornaments in the duplex container before installing them in the aquarium. .
Alternatively, since it is a duplex container for aquarium, a necessary weight may be secured by incorporating a steel material, a magnet, or the like with a waterproof structure at the bottom or four corners in the production stage.
Alternatively, a decorative stone or a stainless steel plate may be attached to the duplex container.
The cavity 4 in the drawing can quickly drain water when the duplex container is taken out of the aquarium, and can also be used as a goldfish passage when the duplex container is installed.
Originally it is a simple product for beginners, so I think that application to a large tank should be further experimentally studied.

The drawing is an example of the duplex container of the present invention. It can be installed with a handle for a double container.
At the time of washing, the handle 1 may be lifted and washed with water including decorations.

Industrial applicability

It can be used not only for goldfish tanks, but also for turtle and tropical fish tanks.
There is also a method in which the container is made into a net structure and a water receiver is placed thereon.
The size of the hollow portions may be changed, or the hollow portions may be manufactured in two vertical rows or two horizontal rows and three horizontal rows.

There is a method of manufacturing a container with a three-dimensional configuration that simulates a water bottom landscape such as rocks.
Installation is simplified if the air pump outlet is built-in.
If a small LED lighting apparatus is built in the tank wall or the three-dimensional structure, an auxiliary function and decoration effect of the tank lighting can be expected.
A timer or heater may be built in or added.
A simple water purification filter may be attached between the water tank main body and the duplex water tank, or a water purification mechanism using a simple motor may be added.

  The present invention relates to a fish tank.

When a fish such as a goldfish is bred in an aquarium, the water in the aquarium becomes contaminated because extra goldfish food accumulates at the bottom of the aquarium. In general, water is circulated with a pump and water is purified with a filter or the like.
People who keep goldfish for the first time are raised only with an oxygen pump, but when the circulating filter is not used, the tank tends to become cloudy immediately.
Goldfish can grow even in slightly muddy water.

The problem to be solved is that changing the water is a very troublesome work, and if the water is discarded, the useful bacteria in the aquarium disappears and the goldfish may be weakened against the purpose.
Maintaining good water quality is unexpectedly difficult.
Since the upper part of the tank is slightly larger and narrower, it is difficult to manufacture an auxiliary tank of the same size.
In a simple box, it is necessary to extend the hand to the bottom of the water when taking it out of the water, but it is difficult to work because the hands get wet, and it is necessary to wear rubber gloves.

Means to solve the problem

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has doubled the water tank.
There are various methods for duplicating, but it is easy to make a transparent or colored plastic container with a handle separately from the aquarium, and install it alone or in two rows and three rows with a decorative stone as a weight in the aquarium. is there.
Put the designed auxiliary water tank in the water tank, and put the air pump spout, decoration stones and decorations on it. When appropriate, leave the goldfish in the aquarium and take out the designed auxiliary tank from the tank.
Alternatively, if a waterproof iron plate is fixed or built in the bottom of the auxiliary water tank, the weight increases and the use becomes smooth.
If a vinyl hose is inserted in the outer periphery of the auxiliary water tank, the size of the outer peripheral part can be changed to some extent, so that it can be easily taken into and out of the main body water tank.
Alternatively, the outer periphery can be cleaned by spreading a plastic blade on the bottom or laying a rubber mat on the bottom.
Since the dirt concentrates on the bottom surface, even an auxiliary water tank with a height of about 1 inch or a flat plate is sufficiently effective. Chemical adsorbents can also be used easily.
The design of the center pole handle is improved.
Fish may be transferred to other containers with a net as before, and even shallow containers are effective.

Effect of device

There are stones such as activated carbon, ornaments and air pumps in the aquarium, but these accessories can be collected at the same time, and the aquarium could be washed with water.
It was possible to reduce the weight, and since the goldfish could be temporarily stored with the water in the auxiliary water tank of the invention, an improvement effect such as easy cleaning of the water tank body was obtained.
In the case of parallel installation, it is possible to guide the goldfish into one auxiliary water tank and take out one auxiliary water tank from the water tank and wash it with water.
Therefore, a simple auxiliary water tank for beginners can be configured.
When a circulating filter is used, the turbidity in the aquarium slowly progresses, but fine dirt tends to accumulate on the bottom of the aquarium over time. The performance of the circulating filter is also related, but it seems that there is a limit in household goods.
Cleaning even once every six months makes it easier. There are various ways to use it, but if you place an adsorption sheet on the bottom, you can replace it by simply replacing it. The bottom gravel can be prevented from spreading.
Even a shallow container with a handle is effective and easy to manufacture.
In the case of using an auxiliary water tank with a fixed iron plate or a decorative stone or magnet, the auxiliary water tank immediately sinks to the bottom of the tank, making installation simple.

Since there are small products and large products in the water tank, there is a need for an auxiliary water tank that matches the size of the tank, but it is considered that a small water tank is sufficient.
The structure which can lift the whole container is good, and this auxiliary water tank may be arranged in 2 or more rows in one water tank. The initial product is useful in the shallow auxiliary tank and is easy to use.
When a deep-bottom container is used depending on the application, it is preferable to use a container having a round or square cavity in order to secure a fish passage. It may be helpful to have a screw-in or push-in stopcock that matches the shape of the cavity.
Alternatively, an arch-shaped circle or square handle can be used. A function may be added to the hollow portion that opens when draining and closes when storing water. Large round and square windows are more versatile but may not cause water leaks.
It may be a simple cavity or a container with a window without a storage tap or a stop cock.
The handle is a handle and may be opened or closed depending on the situation.
Stainless steel containers and metal containers can be easily installed due to their weight, but plastic containers are light and float up, so it is better to set ornamental stones and ornaments in the auxiliary tank before installing them in the tank. .
Alternatively, since it is an auxiliary water tank for the water tank, a necessary weight may be secured by incorporating or fixing an iron material, a magnet, or the like with a waterproof structure at the bottom or four corners in the manufacturing stage.
Alternatively, ornamental stones and stainless steel plates may be attached to the auxiliary water tank.
Originally it is a simple product for beginners, and it can be expected to be effective at a low price.
Design and strength are also important for professional use.

The drawing is an example of the auxiliary water tank of the present invention. It can be installed with a handle for the auxiliary tank.
At the time of washing, the handle 1 may be lifted and washed with water including decorations.
If the container is the same height, the number of fish passages is reduced, so the outer periphery is shallow.
This part is just shallow, but a shallow container structure may be used.
The entire auxiliary water tank may have a shallow bottom structure to the extent that a gravel storage is left.
Although the left and right dimensions of the two surfaces are insufficient, they may be replaced with packing or the like on one side.
Although it is one surface in the drawing, the auxiliary water tank having a shallow bottom structure may be used as two surfaces, three surfaces, and four surfaces.
The outer size of the auxiliary water tank can be changed by wrapping a rubber hose, etc., so it is easy to put it in and out of the main water tank.

Industrial applicability

It can be used not only for goldfish tanks, but also for turtle and tropical fish tanks.
There is also a method in which the container is made into a net structure and a water receiver is placed thereon.
You may make it available in 2 horizontal rows and 3 horizontal rows.
The handle of the auxiliary water tank is movable in the drawing, but a dedicated fixed method may be used. If the arm design is made in advance, the strength will increase.
An arm-shaped or bar-shaped handle may be extended from the center of the auxiliary water tank to the surface of the water.

There is a method of manufacturing a container with a three-dimensional configuration that simulates a water bottom landscape such as rocks.
Installation is simplified if the air pump outlet is built-in.
If a small LED lighting apparatus is built in the tank wall or the three-dimensional structure, an auxiliary function and decoration effect of the tank lighting can be expected.
A simple water filter may be attached between the water tank body and the auxiliary water tank, or a water purification mechanism using a simple motor may be added.

Production and use from low-priced products is possible, and higher functionality is also possible.
In fact, simple products may be sufficient, and complex use may be less necessary.
