Fish tank cleaner {A glass fish bowl cleaner}

The present invention is to discharge the excrement and foreign matter of the fish accumulated in the bottom of the tank together with the water to clean the fish tank clean, but the excrement and foreign matter removed water is recovered to the fish tank without the need to move the meat without reducing the water of the fish tank A fish tank cleaner that cleans a fishbowl and cleans the water in a fish tank using a double filter, while notifying water when a pump breakdown or filter is clogged so that it can be treated. will be.

Although fish tanks are installed to observe the appearance of fish and to control indoor humidity, the excrement and excretion of fish that sinks in the fish sink and decay, and moss is caught. Therefore, considerable efforts are needed to maintain the fish tank cleanly. It was necessary, and it was cumbersome to keep the water tank clean.

The fish living in the tank eat food and excrete, and the excreta of the fish sink to the bottom of the tank and decay into toxic nitrite, so the water in the tank must be changed periodically to prevent the death of the fish. However, the work of changing the water in the tank is quite cumbersome and it is difficult to move the fish. Therefore, in the past, the water in the tank is purified by using a water purifier and then put back into the tank, or at the bottom of the tank. While maintaining the water quality of the fish tank by discharging sunk droppings and foreign substances together with the water, the first method is to clean the water of the fish tank without rest, which increases the electricity bill and the cost of replacing the water filter. The second method does not incur electricity or filter costs, but with the droppings, the water in the tank is reduced. There is a disadvantage was difficult to follow that should fill the water of the tank after cleaning.

In consideration of these problems, the present applicant discharges the excrement and foreign substances that have settled on the bottom of the tank together with water, and then filters the excrement and the foreign substances by using a filter and refills the fish tank to clean the tank. The fish tank cleaner was registered as Utility Model Registration No. 347619, which does not reduce the water in the tank and can help to remove the pollutants that contaminate the tank.

In addition, the present applicant installs an on-off valve in the suction pipe for discharging the water of the fish tank in the above-mentioned registered utility model to properly control the water in the fish tank discharged through the suction pipe so that only foreign substances in the fish tank can be discharged while the filter Registered as Utility Model Registration No. 370594, a device that forms a discharge hole in the check valve installed in the discharge pipe to recover the filtered water to the fish tank so that the water remaining in the discharge pipe can be quickly discharged after the pumping operation is completed.

Since this pre-registration utility model cannot check the process of filtering the water in the fish tank from the outside, when the pump is broken or the filter is clogged with foreign substances, the water in the fish tank cannot be effectively injected and the water overflows. In addition, the pre-registered utility model has a limit to clean the water due to the use of a single filter, and was particularly inconvenient to replace the filter.

The present invention is to discharge the excrement and foreign substances settled on the bottom of the fish tank with water and to filter the excrement and foreign substances by using a filter, in the cleaning device to fill the water tank again, the discharge from the pump is not made smoothly If not, the filtered water is discharged to the outside while the process of filtering water from the filter can be visually checked, and if the water cannot be discharged from the filter, the user is notified.

And the pump 60 is installed on the inner bottom of the body 30 of the present invention, the suction port of the pump 60 to the bottom and the discharge port to be detachable with the discharge pipe 20 toward the side, the water pump ( At the outlet side of the 60, a water level sensor 74 is installed so that when the water level is detected by the water level sensor 74, the pump 60 is driven to discharge the water filled in the body 30, and the body ( 30 is provided on the front of the footrest 35 and the switch 73 is attached to the contact by the footrest 35, when the switch 73 is connected, the pump 60 is driven to detect by the water level sensor 74 Make sure to drain a small amount of water you can't.

Here, when the water pump 60 is broken, the water filled in the body 30 is discharged to the outside through the outlet 34, the outlet 34 is the external air so that the atmospheric pressure acts on the water pump 60 as usual It forms a flow passage.

Meanwhile, a check valve 21 is installed in the discharge pipe 20 so that water can be discharged and not flow in the reverse direction, and the front end of the discharge pipe 20 can be walked so as to be caught on one side of the fish tank 1. In addition, the check plate 21a constituting the check valve 21 forms a discharge hole 21b or a space 21c so that the water filled in the discharge pipe 20 after the operation of the pump 60 is finished. By the discharge hole (21b) or the space portion (21c) to be quickly discharged to the body (30).

The filter 40 of the present invention 40 (40a) is a filter body 43, such as a non-woven fabric into the inner side of the filter case 41, the discharge hole 42 is formed as shown in Figs. The contact frame 44 is formed by bringing the upper outer side of the sieve 43 into close contact with the filter case 41. The contact frame 44 is removed and the filter body 43 is replaced with a new one. ), The filter element 43 can be easily replaced.

The filter 40, 40a of the present invention is installed in a double, the filter 40a is installed in a state supported on the upper portion of the support hole 36 fixed to the body 30, of the filter 40a The filter 40 is fitted in the upper portion is installed in a double, the water of the fish tank (1) is filtered through the filter 40, 40a of the double and then recovered to the fish tank (1) through the underwater pump (60).

On the other hand, the cover 31 of the present invention, while installing a viewing window (31a) to check the inside while installing a lighter (31b) that can illuminate the inside and at the same time to install a detector (31c) for detecting the filling of water from the inside When the water is detected by the detector 31c, the alarm 31d installed together with the illuminator 31b operates.

That is, the process of the water filter in the filter 40, 40a can be confirmed by the viewing window 31a by using the illumination of the illuminator 31b, the water in the filter 40 is not smooth and the water is filled in the body 30 In the case of detecting the water from the detector 31c to drive the alarm 31d to actively notify the user.

By using the present invention configured as described above will be taken to remove the waste accumulated in the bottom of the fish tank (1) or the substance and to recover the water back to the fish tank (1).

First, the power switch 71 is turned on so that the pump 60 can be operated, and the end of the discharge pipe 20 is hung on one side of the fish tank 1, and then the suction port 12 of the suction pipe 10 is placed in water. When the inhaler 11 is pressed in the state in which it is positioned in the above state, the process of repeating the pressing again is carried out so that the water in the fish tank 1 is sucked into the inhaler 11 through the on / off valve 80 and then introduced into the filter 40. do.

At this time, check valves are installed at both sides of the inhaler 11 so that when the inhaler 11 is pressed, the water filled in the inhaler 11 is discharged toward the body 30, and when it is released, water is drawn from the inlet 12 side. It is sucked to be filled in the inhaler (11).

Water sucked from the inhaler 11 is introduced into the filter 40, the excrement or foreign matter is filtered by the filter body 43, and then introduced again into the filter 40a to filter the water once again by double filter 40 Water passing through (40a) shall be clean water without any foreign matter.

And once water is introduced through the suction pipe 10, even if the inhaler 11 is not pressed, the water in the fish tank 1 is continuously introduced into the filter 40, 40a by the principle of siphon, in this state. The suction port 12 is moved in the fish tank 1 to allow the excrement or foreign substances to be sucked together with the water in the suction port 12, and the sand rises from the lower portion of the suction port 12, but the specific gravity is heavy and the suction pipe 10 is Until it does not rise until the sand is almost not discharged only the light weight excretion or foreign matter is discharged from the suction pipe 10 with water.

However, when the height of the fish tank (1) is high, the suction force is increased when the position difference is large, and the sand is also sucked with the water to the suction pipe 10, in this case, by adjusting the opening and closing of the opening and closing valve (80) Reducing the amount of water discharged through the pipe 10 prevents the discharge of sand.

That is, when the height difference between the fish tank 1 and the body 30 is not large, the operation is performed in the state of opening and closing the valve 80, and when the position difference is large, the closing amount of the water discharged by closing the opening and closing valve 80 little by little Reduce it little by little so that only foreign objects or excrement can be inhaled with the water without being inhaled.

The water discharged into the suction pipe 10 is filtered in the filters 40 and 40a, and the water in which the excrement and foreign substances are filtered out of the filters 40 and 40a is in the body 30 in which the water pump 60 is installed. When the water filled in the body 30 is detected by the water level sensor 74, the pump 60 is operated to recover the water to the fish tank (1) through the discharge pipe 20, When the water level is not detected by the water level sensor 74, the operation of the pump 60 is stopped.

That is, when the body 30 is filled with water to some extent, the pump 60 is operated to pump water up to the fish tank 1, and when the water level is lowered, the operation of the pump 60 is stopped, the body 30. There is always a small amount of water left.

Since the check valve 21 is installed in the discharge pipe 20, even if discharge is stopped, water remaining in the discharge pipe 20 does not flow into the body 30, and thus the pump 60 operates smoothly. To lose.

At this time, the check valve 21 is provided with a check plate 21a therein, so that the water filled in the discharge pipe 20 does not easily fall into the body 30, even after lifting the discharge pipe 20 after completion of the pumping operation. Since the water filled in the discharge pipe 20 by 20 does not easily fall into the body 30 to shake the discharge pipe 20 for a while, the diameter of the check plate 21a of the check valve 21 in the present invention. In the normal pumping operation, the pumping is stopped for a while while the water is filled in the upper part of the check plate 21a while the water is filled in the upper part of the check plate 21a. In this case, before the water filled in the upper part of the check plate 21a is discharged through the discharge hole 21b or the space portion 21c, the pumping operation is performed again so that there is no problem, and the pumping operation is completely finished and the pump ( If 60) does not work, the filled water on the upper side of the check plate 21a The water is discharged through the outlet hole 21b or the space 21c, and the water filled in the discharge pipe 20 is rapidly discharged when the water surface passes through the discharge hole 22b or the space 21c, and the discharge pipe 20 ), The inconvenience of having to drain the filled water disappears.

That is, when the tank 1 is normally cleaned, the check valve 21 is normally operated, and when the cleaning is completed and the pumping is stopped, the discharge hole 22b or the space 21c is applied to the upper portion of the check plate 21a. Since the filled water will fall out, and the water surface will instantly fall out when passing through the discharge hole 22b or the space 21c, the user lifts the discharge pipe 20 for a while after the completion of the pumping operation, and the water in the discharge pipe 20 This will fall out easily.

On the other hand, the present invention is to be discharged to the outside through the discharge port 34 when the water filtered through the filter 40, 40a is continuously added even when the submersible pump 60 installed in the body 30 is stopped or broken To help.

And the present invention can be seen that the water is filtered from the filter 40 by using the see-through window 31a installed on the cover 31, the illumination window 31a in a state in which the interior lighted up the see-through window 31a Check through.

In addition, in the present invention, when the water cannot be smoothly filtered from the filters 40 and 40a, the water is filled in the filter 40, but at this time, the alarm 31d is detected by detecting the water is filled using the detector 31c. To give immediate action.

In particular, the present invention uses two filters 40 and 40a, and each filter 40 and 40a can easily replace and use the filter body 43, so that it is easy to filter the water in a clean state.
