Description

  The present invention is an aquarium or aquaculture tank or a tank that removes and cleans fish droppings or residual food that floats or settles on the bottom by simply placing it on the bottom of a so-called aquarium such as a tub or pool The present invention relates to a bottom cleaning device.

  In an aquarium tank such as an aquarium tank, an aquaculture tank, a tub, or a pool, fish excrement, residual food, hair, skin, and other filth float or settle on the bottom. This removal cleaning is a complex and large-scale facility and various equipment such as a circulating water supply / drainage cleaning device, a supply / discharge replacement cleaning device, and a bottom scraper cleaning device. Requires equipment. As a result, the capital investment becomes high, and as a result, the running cost increases. In addition, the production and expansion of the equipment after that becomes frequent.

  Furthermore, the collected waste after cleaning involves a lot of labor and time with secondary treatment such as dehydration drying and incineration.

  The present invention eliminates the need for a large-scale cleaning facility as in the prior art, and simply puts it on the bottom of the aquarium, or simply puts it on its own and allows it to self-propelled to efficiently remove and clean the dirt that floats or settles on the bottom. A cleaning device is provided.

The technical configuration characterized by the present invention that satisfies the above-described problems is as follows (1) to (3).
(1) A water passage having an inlet and an outlet is formed by a bottom plate formed along the bottom surface of the water tank and a surrounding hood that rises from both sides and surrounds the upper portion, and a filter is disposed in the water passage. An aquarium bottom cleaning device characterized by that.
(2) The water tank bottom cleaning device according to (1), wherein an inflow guide bellows is provided on the bottom plate on the inlet side, and an exchange lid for replacing the filter is provided on the surrounding hood.
(3) The water tank bottom cleaning device according to (1) or (2), wherein a traveling wheel mechanism is provided on the bottom plate, or a screw steering mechanism is provided behind the filter.

The aquarium bottom cleaning device of the present invention does not require a large-scale cleaning facility, and simply puts it on the corner of the aquarium bottom where floating fish droppings, residual food, hair, skin, and other filth collect and flow due to the water flow in the aquarium. Collect and flow in and out flowing water to efficiently remove and clean the filth in the water flow, or just place it on the bottom of the aquarium and let it run for free. Thus, removal and cleaning can be performed efficiently in a shorter time.
In addition, fish excrement trapped with a filter can be easily used because it only needs to make the filter organic and eliminates the need for secondary treatment and can be supplied to the fertilizer as it is.

The aquarium targeted by the aquarium bottom cleaning apparatus of the present invention is a fish tank or aquaculture tank, as well as a general aquarium, bathtub, and bathtub (bathtub) pool.
In the water tank bottom cleaning device of the present invention, the filter is preferably an organic filter. For example, there are dry-processed inner loof cotton, net knitted with fibers, and other sponge-like vegetable fiber filters.
In the water tank bottom cleaning device of the present invention, the inflow guide bellows may be formed so as to be able to come into contact with the bottom surface of the water tank, be formed integrally with the bottom plate, or may be attached separately.
In the water tank bottom cleaning device of the present invention, when a self-propelled type is used, a known battery-type wired or wirelessly-operated self-propelled wheel mechanism or screw steering mechanism is adopted.
In the water tank bottom cleaning apparatus according to the present invention, it is preferable that the inlet of the water passage is a wide opening whose upper side is retreated to enhance the inflow efficiency.
The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the following examples.

Embodiment 1 will be introduced with reference to FIG. Example 1 is a water tank bottom cleaning device of a type in which one or a plurality are installed at the bottom corner of a water tank as shown in FIG.
The water tank bottom cleaning device is composed of a metal bottom plate 100 formed along the bottom surface of the water tank, and a side wall 201 raised from both sides of the water tank and a resin surrounding hood 200 surrounding the upper part 202, and the inlet 301 and the water flow. A water passage 300 having an outlet 302 is formed, and a loofah filter 400 is disposed on the front surface of the presser mesh 800 in the water passage 300 so that it can be removed and replaced. The inflow port 301 is an inclined wide opening whose upper part is retracted. The inflow efficiency is increased.
With this aquarium bottom cleaning device, it is only necessary to connect the floating fish excrement and residual bait by the water flow in the aquarium generated by the swimming of the fish and connect it to the corner of the aquarium bottom where it flows as shown in FIG. As shown by the arrows, the floating fish excrement and residual food in the water stream are efficiently removed and cleaned by the filter 400.
In the figure, L is a string for pulling up the water tank bottom cleaning device.

Example 2 will be introduced with reference to FIG. Example 2 is a water tank bottom cleaning device that self-propels the bottom surface of a water tank equipped with a battery-powered wire-operated self-propelled wheel mechanism.
The water tank bottom cleaning device includes a metal bottom plate 100 formed along the bottom surface of the water tank, and a resin or bamboo surrounding hood 700 that surrounds a side 201 and an upper part 202 raised from both sides in a dome shape. Thus, a water passage 300 having an inlet 301 and an outlet 302 is formed, a filter 400 made of loofah is placed in front of the presser mesh 800 in the water passage 300, and a rubber inflow guide is provided on the bottom plate 100 on the inlet 301 side. A bellows 500 is provided, and a transparent resin exchange lid 600 for exchanging the filter 400 is provided on the surrounding hood 700 so as to be openable and closable, and a battery-powered wire-operated self-propelled wheel mechanism 910 is sealed on the bottom plate 100. It is installed.
With this aquarium bottom cleaning device, fish droppings or residual food, etc. that are floating or sinking on the bottom simply by self-propelled according to the shape of the aquarium bottom, the traveling path pattern, the required time, etc. stored in advance at the bottom of the aquarium It is removed and cleaned efficiently in a shorter time after flowing in.

Embodiment 3 will be introduced with reference to FIG. The third embodiment is a modification in which a screw steering mechanism 920 is provided instead of the self-propelled wheel mechanism 910 of the second embodiment.
In other words, this is a water tank bottom cleaning device that is provided with a resin blade 110 having a low friction coefficient on the bottom plate 100 and is mounted with a battery-powered wire-operated screw steering mechanism 920 to slide on the bottom surface of the water tank.
When the screw steering mechanism 920 is operated, the low-flow water is sucked into the bend hood 700 from the inlet 301 by the rotation of the screw 921, filtered by the filter 400, and discharged from the outlet 302. It is excellent that it moves forward in any direction with the rudder 922 at the same time.

  As described above, the water tank bottom cleaning device of the present invention has a simple and robust structure, and does not require any special expensive equipment or device. It has an excellent effect of efficiently removing and cleaning fish droppings and residual food that floated or settled at the bottom, and not only aquariums, tubs and pools in ordinary households, but also the public bath industry, ornamental fish industry, fish farming It contributes greatly to the industry, fertilizer industry, agriculture, etc. with labor-saving and energy-saving effects.
