Description

The present invention relates to an aquarium, and more particularly to a sterilizing water purification facility used for an aquarium.

In modern life, in order to seek mental fulfillment and to improve feng shui, aquariums are installed indoors to breed aquatic organisms, and decoration and mental improvement effects are realized.

However, if the water in the conventional aquarium described above is left for a long time, algae and bacteria propagate and affect the water quality, so it is necessary to regularly clean the water to maintain the health of aquatic organisms. As a conventional cleaning method, there is a method in which an ultraviolet sterilizing light is hung in a water tank and sterilized by emitting ultraviolet rays to maintain water quality. The conventional ultraviolet sterilizing light has an elongated fluorescent tube, and its volume is too large for the aquarium, and it is difficult to hide the sterilizing light when viewing the aquarium, which spoils the scenery inside the aquarium.

Therefore, the present inventor considered that the above-mentioned drawbacks could be improved, and as a result of diligent studies, he came up with a proposal of the present invention to effectively improve the above-mentioned problems with a rational design.

The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide an ultraviolet algae removing / sterilizing device for an aquarium. In other words, by arranging an appropriate structure, it has the effect of reducing the occupied volume, making it less noticeable in the aquarium, and improving the landscape of the aquarium.

The main idea for achieving the above objectives is
The inside is partitioned to form a light room and a water purification room, and a water supply port and a drain port corresponding to the water purification room are provided. A box provided with a light transmitting portion for transmitting light rays between the light room and the water purification room,
It is an ultraviolet algae removing / sterilizing apparatus for an aquarium, which is installed in the light room and includes an LED light emitter for emitting ultraviolet rays C incident on the water purification chamber through the light transmitting portion. ..

Preferably, the light transmitting portion is a glass sheet. A partition plate is provided inside the box, the water purification chamber is located on one side of the partition plate, a through hole is provided in the partition plate, and the light room is formed in the space in the through hole. doing. The through hole has a first end connected to the water purification chamber and a corresponding second end, the first end is closed by the glass sheet, and the LED light emitter is installed at the second end.

Preferably, the inner flange extends inward along the radial direction to the first end of the through hole, and the glass sheet is in contact with the inner flange so as to be fixed.

Preferably, the wavelength of the ultraviolet C emitted by the LED light emitter is in the range of 260 nm to 275 nm.

Preferably, the water supply port or the drain port is connected to the water pump, and the water pump drives a water flow to flow into the water purification chamber from the water supply port and then flows out from the drain port.

It is the inclined view which showed typically the ultraviolet algae removal / sterilization apparatus for aquariums which concerns on one Embodiment of this invention. It is an exploded view which shows the ultraviolet algae removal / sterilization apparatus for an aquarium which concerns on one Embodiment of this invention. It is sectional drawing which shows typically the ultraviolet algae removal / sterilization apparatus for an aquarium which concerns on one Embodiment of this invention.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Needless to say, the present invention is not limited to the following examples, and can be arbitrarily changed without departing from the gist of the present invention.

The description of the present specification and the drawings will clarify at least the following matters.

The ultraviolet algae removal / sterilization device for an aquarium provided by the present invention includes a box 1, a water pump 2, and an LED light emitter 3 for emitting ultraviolet C (abbreviated as Ultraviolet C, UVC). (See FIGS. 1 to 3).

A partition plate 11 is internally provided in the box 1, and two spaces are partitioned above and below. The space located below is defined as the water purification room 4. The box 1 is provided with a water supply port 12 and a drain port 13 corresponding to the water purification room 4, the water supply port 12 introduces the water of the water tank into the water purification room 4, and the drain port 13 introduces the water of the water purification room 4. Guide water to drain. The water pump 2 is connected to the drain port 13, and when the water pump 2 is started, the water in the water tank is driven to flow into the water purification chamber 4 from the water supply port 12 and then flow out from the drain port 13. In another embodiment, the water pump 2 is connected to the water supply port 12, and similarly drives the water in the water tank so that the water flows from the water supply port 12 into the water purification chamber 4 and then flows out from the drain port 13. Achieving the effect.

The partition plate 11 is provided with a through hole 14 penetrating to the water purification chamber 4, and the space in the through hole 14 is defined as a light room 5. The through hole 14 has a first end 141 connected to the water purification chamber 4 and a second end 142 corresponding to the first end 141, and the inside of the first end 141 along the radial direction. The flange 143 extends inward, and the glass sheet 15 for transmitting light rays comes into contact with the inner flange 143 so as to be fixed, thereby closing the first end 141. The LED light emitting body 3 is installed at a position of the second end 142, and the LED light emitting body 3 includes a substrate 31 and a light emitting unit 32 installed on the substrate 31. The substrate 31 is locked to the partition plate 11 by a plurality of screws 33, and the light emitting unit 32 is inserted into the light room 5. A wire hole 16 is provided at the upper end of the box 1, and a cord 34 connected to the substrate 31 to supply power to the light emitting unit 32 protrudes from the box 1.

The light emitting unit 32 described above emits ultraviolet rays in the wavelength range of 260 nm to 275 nm, and is also called ultraviolet C (UVC). The ultraviolet light passes through the glass sheet 15 and enters the water purification chamber 4, and the energy of the ultraviolet light extinguishes algae and bacteria in the water of the water purification chamber 4.

The present invention utilizes the feature that the volume of the LED light emitting body 3 that emits ultraviolet rays C is small, and by combining with the small box 1 that fits the LED light emitting body 3, the volume of the entire structure is significantly larger than that of the conventional structure. It not only achieves the unique function of reducing and sterilizing algae by ultraviolet rays, but also makes it less noticeable in the water tank and makes it difficult for the user to perceive the existence of the present invention, thereby improving the landscape of the water tank. ..

The above-described embodiment is described for the purpose of enabling a person having ordinary knowledge in the technical field to which the present invention belongs to carry out the present invention. Various modifications of the above embodiment can be naturally made by those skilled in the art, and the technical idea of the present invention can be applied to other embodiments. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the described embodiments, but is interpreted in the broadest range according to the technical idea defined by the claims for utility model registration.
