2. Description of the Related Art It is widely used in ordinary households to cultivate goldfish, tropical fish, etc. for ornamental use in a small-sized aquarium with a simple structure that can be placed in an appropriate place or relocated if necessary. Various kinds of heaters and various tools are used to keep things in order. And, for example, when cultivating tropical fish, it is important to keep the temperature of the aquarium water at an appropriate temperature of about 30 ° C. or less, and during the cold period such as winter, an electric heater can be used to simplify the operation. The water temperature is being adjusted.

[0003]

However, since a small-sized water tank having a simple structure for household use has not been developed with a water tank water cooling device which can be easily installed, when the outside air temperature exceeds 30 ° C. in the midsummer season, The water temperature of the aquarium water may exceed 30 ° C. in accordance with the outside air temperature, and in such a high temperature water state, the fish culture often dies due to lack of oxygen in water and lack of activity of microorganisms in water.

In order to prevent the above-mentioned problems caused by the high temperature of the aquarium water in the small-sized aquarium, it is necessary to take large-scale measures such as installing an air conditioner for keeping the environment in which the aquarium is fixed at an appropriate temperature. There is a need in the art for the development of an aquarium water cooling device that can be used with a simple structure.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art and provides an aquarium water cooling / cleaning device for a fish culture aquarium that meets the demands of the field.

[0006]

It features a structure that purifies water.

[0008]

The aquarium water cooling / purifying device of the present invention having the above-mentioned structure,
When it is used when the temperature of the outside water becomes high and the temperature of the water tank rises, the outside air has a high temperature, and the water tank water that sprinkles and drops has a high temperature that is almost the same temperature as the outside air. When sprinkling water having a surface area comes into contact, part of the sprinkling water vaporizes and takes away the latent heat of vaporization, so the water temperature of the sprinkling water drops, and the cooled aquarium water is returned to the water tank from the reflux section, and An abnormally high temperature can be effectively prevented.

Since the sprinkling water falling through the outside air circulation zone has a large surface area and is in active contact with the outside air, oxygen in the outside air is positively added to the sprinkling water and cleaned by increasing the amount of oxygen. The aquarium water is returned to the aquarium, and the cleaning of the entire aquarium water is promoted.
