Aquarium Purifier {Apparatus for purifying aquarium}

The present invention relates to an aquarium water purification device that removes organic substances from water by adsorbing bipolar molecules at the interface of bubbles. Particularly, the present invention relates to an aquarium water purification device that is small in size and does not occupy a lot of space. The present invention relates to an aquarium water purification device which is extremely improved and subsequently improves sterilization and purification treatment efficiency by undergoing an advanced oxidation process through ultraviolet sterilization.

In general, a life support device for survival of aquatic life is essential in an oralmental aquarium or a live seafood tank installed in a restaurant or home.

In other words, when the aquatic organisms are stored in the aquarium, feed residues, excreta, and dead bodies accumulate and decompose over time, which increases the total amount of dissolved organic matter in the water and the total amount of microorganisms such as various bacteria that feed it in the water. This creates a sanitary environment. In addition, proteins in organic matter contain amine groups containing nitrogen, which are sequentially broken down into ammonia and nitrite by aquatic microorganisms, all of which are highly toxic. It leads to mass death of my creature.

Therefore, a means for removing these contaminants is required. As a typical filtration method, a physical and biological filtration method that filters and removes suspended solids in water using a filter media such as sand and cotton has been used. .

However, this method also increases the amount of contaminants accumulated in the filter medium over time, causing the problem of releasing more dissolved organic compounds into the water, which in turn promotes pollution in the aquarium. Is brought about.

Therefore, in recent years, foam separation methods have been used to remove dissolved organic matter in water and reduce the load of biological filtration by using bubbles. The foam separation method focuses on the fact that dissolved organics have both hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups to form bubbles in water so that dissolved organics are adsorbed on the bubbles and then discharged to remove dissolved organics. Hydrophilic groups are directed toward water and hydrophobic groups toward air within the bubble, which ultimately uses dissolved pores to adsorb the bubbles.

1 shows a conventional foam separator using such a foam separation method.

That is, the conventional foam separator is provided with a collection chamber 20 in which bubbles separated in the upper part of the reaction chamber 10 in the form of a long pipe are collected. ) Is composed of a structure that is discharged.

However, in the conventional foam separator having such a structure, the reaction chamber 10 had to have a narrow and long shape in order to separate water and bubbles easily.

As a result, due to the structural characteristics that must be made in a narrow and long form, the installation space occupies a lot of space, and the installation location has to be limited.

Conventional foam separators, on the other hand, must be raised to a significant height in order to gather in the collecting chamber in a bubbled state in which water is removed even after the bubbles are separated from water. As it is remixed with water, it is not discharged eventually, so the water purification efficiency is not very high.

The present invention is to improve the problems of the water purifying apparatus using the conventional foam separation method, it can be implemented in a small size, so it does not occupy much space and extremely high water purification efficiency regardless of installation space and location It is a technical problem to provide an aquarium water purification device which can be improved.

The aquarium water purification device according to the present invention, in the aquarium water purification device to purify by separating the bubbles from the water of the aquarium, the aquarium water purification device induces the downward flow of the water is introduced into the bubble is attached to the lower surface by the synergistic action Consists of a sealed housing including a reaction chamber with an inclined plate to be easily separated from the water, the plurality of inclined plates are provided in the form of a plurality of inclined plates are gradually retreat back toward the top and the overall arrangement maintains a gentle rising angle It is done with the main features.

According to the aquarium water purification device of the present invention as described above, it does not need to make the size of the reaction chamber thin and long, so that it does not occupy much of the overall space, and can be easily installed in any space such as the side, the upper part, or the lower part of the aquarium. Since it is possible to improve the design efficiency of the aquarium and at the same time the separation of water and air bubbles more easily, the water purification efficiency is extremely improved.

Aquarium water purification device according to the present invention is an independent device provided or installed separately in addition to the aquarium, after receiving the water from the aquarium after the purified water is returned to the aquarium again, while collecting the pollutants in the water purification process separate air bubbles are discharged separately Thereby providing for disposal.

To this end, the present invention includes an inlet for receiving water from an aquarium, a drain for returning water to the aquarium, and an outlet for discharging bubbles, and a description thereof will be omitted below.

Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of an aquarium water purification device according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Aquarium water purifying apparatus according to the present invention, the reaction chamber 100 for separating water and bubbles in the sealed housing, the concentration chamber 200 in which the separated bubbles are concentrated, the collection chamber 300 is collected and discharged bubbles Bubble is separated and discharged from the water is configured to be separated, the purified water is drained to the aquarium via a separate drainage chamber (400).

The reaction chamber 100 is provided with contaminated water of the aquarium supplied through the inlet 110 mixed with air by the impeller 120, and for this purpose, the water is formed in an opening formed in the plate 130 formed near the side surface. Is supplied to the zigzag through the outside, the outside air is supplied to the same opening through a separate air supply pipe, is mixed by the rotation of the impeller 120 to form an upward flow from the side and is introduced into the reaction chamber 100 .

As such, the water mixed with air forms a water stream that rotates greatly in the reaction chamber, and in the reaction chamber, an inclined plate that receives the water flow at least one or more, preferably in its entire cross-section, in accordance with the advancing direction of the descending water stream ( 140 is provided.

Each of the inclined plate 140 is maintained at an angle of about 45 degrees and a plurality of panels having a predetermined width is stacked, the more stacked on the top of the stack in the form of retreating gradually so that the overall arrangement is a gentle rising angle Although it is preferable to hold | maintain, it is also possible to arrange | position horizontally in some cases.

Therefore, the larger of the bubbles entering the reaction chamber rises to the top by buoyancy, and the remaining bubbles enter the inclined plate along the water flow.

At this time, when the inclined plate 140 reaches 45 degrees, the descending water flow also passes between them, and has an advancing angle of about 45 degrees. At this time, bubbles contained in the water naturally have a force to rise vertically by buoyancy. In the end, the bottom surface of the inclined plate 140 is attached by the sum of the inertia of the traveling direction and the buoyancy force.

In addition, the narrower the distance between each inclined plate 140, the more easily bubbles are separated from the water, so the greater the number of inclined plates, the higher the efficiency of the purified water, these bubbles separated on the bottom of the inclined plate, the air bubbles are aggregated or wall surface over time Because of the slow flow rate, the valve moves upwards from the bottom of the inclined plate, eventually rising to the upper part of the reaction chamber.

Next, the separation plate 210 is provided in the upper part of the reaction chamber 100 to separately trap the air bubbles caused by these buoyancy.

That is, the separation plate 210 blocks the upper portion of the reaction chamber 100 with the bubble inlet 220 and forms the concentration chamber 200. When the bubble rises through the bubble inlet 220 in the rising process, water It is isolated from and maintained in isolation. To this end, the separation plate 210 has an inclination such as 八 and the bubble inlet 220 is advantageously formed at the center thereof.

On the other hand, the top of the bubble inlet 220 is provided with an additional plate-shaped vertical plate 230 illustrated in the drawing to prevent the formation of vortices at the bottom of the bubble inlet 220 and the concentration chamber 200, and to rise in the concentration chamber Prevents bubbles from reincorporating into the water so that they can rise and concentrate constantly. The vertical plate 230 is also irrelevant to any shape such as a cylindrical shape or a cone, and serves to prevent vortices occurring around the bubble inlet 220 while having a vertical plate shape in common.

On the other hand, since the bubble trapped in the concentration chamber 200 is continuously supplied from the bottom is pushed up. A discharge partition 310 is formed at the side of the concentration chamber 200, and the collection chamber 300 is partitioned. At this time, the bubbles are discharged in the state where moisture is removed by gravity and the organic matter at the interface is concentrated ( 310 reaches the upper end and is discharged through the discharge port 320 to the partitioned collection chamber 300, wherein bubbles trapped in the concentration chamber 200 are destroyed by the vortex but also by the decrease in pressure For example, the pressure decreases toward the top of the bubble and is easily destroyed as it resembles atmospheric pressure.

To this end, the discharge partition 310 is formed to be inclined toward the enrichment chamber 200 toward the upper portion, so that the cross-sectional area of the enrichment chamber 200 decreases toward the upper portion, and thus, the upper portion of the enrichment chamber 200 may be removed from the side surface. The additional pressure is reduced to break the bubbles due to the pressure decrease at the same time the degree of rise of the bubble is also increased compared to the lower, so that the bubble can easily overflow and cross into the collection chamber (300).

Next, the structure through which the purified water is drained through the separation of bubbles passing through the inclined plate 140 will be described.

The lower part of the reaction chamber 100 is connected to the drainage chamber 400, and in this embodiment, the reaction chamber 100 and the drainage chamber 400 are partitioned by a drain partition wall 410 having a space thereunder.

At this time, the primary inclined plate 420 to guide the sinking water in the opposite direction of the drainage chamber 400 so that the purified water flows easily from the lower portion of the reaction chamber 100 to the drainage chamber 400. And, there is a secondary inclined plate 430 is guided again in the direction of the drainage chamber 400 in the lower portion, so that the water flow in the reaction chamber is formed in the middle to prevent the bubble of the concentration chamber to be directed to one side, the sinking water is The first inclined plate 420 and the second inclined plate 430 flows naturally to the drainage chamber 400 through the gap made by the water through the relatively narrow gap, the water pressure is increased to increase from the drainage chamber 400 side Backflow of is also prevented.

The drainage chamber 400 is provided with a water level control plate 450 that forms a structure with a drain 440 in which the purified water is finally drained to the aquarium side.

That is, since the drainage chamber 400 and the reaction chamber 100 are connected through the lower space, the water level is inevitably the same, and thus the drainage chamber 400 is formed as the water is drained beyond the level control plate 450. The level will eventually determine the level of the reaction chamber 100, where the bubbles separated above the level of the reaction chamber 100 are located.

Eventually, by adjusting the water level of the drainage chamber 400, it is possible to adjust the amount of air bubbles that are isolated in the concentration chamber 200 through the reaction chamber 100, for this purpose, the present invention is a bottom surface of a certain height inside the drain port 440 By further inserting on the basis of the water level control plate 450 that can adjust the water level by varying the height surrounding the drain port 440 by a corresponding height.

On the other hand, the drainage chamber 400 of the present invention is provided with a separate ultraviolet sterilization lamp 460, it is also preferable to perform the final sterilization by ultraviolet sterilization for the remaining contamination.

In particular, when ozone is injected instead of air for bubble generation, water entering the drainage chamber is ozone-treated and discolored, dissolved ozone is present, and residues are removed through the inclined plate, which leads to water with high light transmittance. It provides a high environment, high oxidation (ozone + ultraviolet) process occurs with ultraviolet rays, which improves sterilization, discoloration and deodorization efficiency and prevents dissolved ozone from being discharged into the tank.

In addition, reference numeral 500 not described in the drawings is an air supply pipe for supplying external air to the impeller 120 side.

Aquarium water purification device according to the present invention made as described above can be easily installed in any space and structure according to various aquarium conditions because the overall size is small, and thus can be implemented in a free form including the reaction chamber (100).

For example, even if the position of the impeller instead of the above-described side shown in Figure 9 instead of the upper or separate outer space as shown in the space occupied in the area can be reduced, even as shown in Figure 10 By using the venturi tube instead of using an air stirrer to generate bubbles by using the empty space of the aquarium, it is also effective to improve the design efficiency of the aquarium.
