1 and 2, the closed ecological experiment apparatus 1 according to the present invention comprises a storage tank 10, a distribution tank 20, and an ecological water tank 30. As shown in FIG. In the ecological water tank 30, an inlet port 31 and an outlet port 32 are formed. It is preferable that the aeration unit 5 is connected to the water storage tank 10 so that air can be blown into the storage tank 10.

In order to reflect such ecological environment, the inlet 31 of the ecological water tank 30 may be provided at one side wall of the ecological water tank 30 so as to have a different height, for example, river, river, sea, And is formed of a plurality of layers. It is preferable that a plurality of inflow pipes 40 are provided corresponding to the respective inflow ports 31 and a flow rate control means 41 is installed in each inflow pipe 40.

If the flow rate of the water flowing into the ecological water tank 30 is varied in accordance with the depth of water through the control of the flow rate control means 41, the environment in the ecological water tank 30 is formed so as to be very close to the actual environment of water flowing like a river or a stream .

It is preferable that the outlet 32 is formed on the other side wall of the ecological water tank 30 so as to be positioned opposite to the inlet 31 for smooth flow. It is preferable that the outlet port 32 is provided with a drain port 60 inside the ecological water tank 30. The drain port 60 has one end 63 facing down and the other end 62 facing upward And the other end 61 located at the center is connected to the outlet 31 so that the entirety of the "T" is laid sideways. Here, the upwardly facing end 62 will serve as a vent structure to allow air to escape. If there is no vent hole, there is no need for air to escape so that the water may not be discharged smoothly through the exhaust port 60, and such a vent hole is necessary.

It is preferable that the outlet 32 is also formed of a plurality of layers so that the height of the outlet 32 may be different from that of the inlet 31. In this case, It is preferable that the flow rate control means 51 is installed in the outflow pipe 50 corresponding to each of the outflow ports 32 for controlling the flow rate.

It is preferable that the water intake pipe 70 is installed on the side wall of the side where the outlet 32 is provided so as to penetrate the ecological water tank 30 through a plurality of layers in order to collect a sample of the water depth of the ecological water tank 30. The water intake opening / closing valve 75 is opened and the sample taken through the water intake pipe 70 is subjected to ecological investigation and research.

A plurality of outflow pipes 50 are connected to one of the collection outflow pipes 80 so that the water discharged from the ecological water tank 30 through the outflow pipe 50 is collected and discharged to the outside. A branch pipe (87) is installed in the collection outlet pipe (80) so that the collected water is branched and discharged through the collection outlet pipe (80). The branch pipe 87 is provided with a branch opening / closing valve 81 and a collecting discharge opening / closing valve 82 is provided in the collecting / discharging pipe 80 so that the branch pipe 87 is located behind the branched portion. A cage 85 is installed at the end of the branch pipe 87 to receive the water discharged from the branch pipe 87.

The branch pipe (87) is for use in determining the flow rate in the ecological tank (30). When the collecting discharge opening / closing valve 82 is closed and the branch opening / closing valve 81 is opened, the water discharged from the ecological water tank 30 will be received by the water cistern 85. At that time, The flow rate in the ecological water tank 30 can be grasped. The flow control valve 41 of the inflow pipe 40 and the flow control valve 51 of the outflow pipe 50 are controlled based on the flow rate in the ecological water tank 30 so that the flow rate flowing in the ecological water tank 30 It will be adjusted as desired.

When the branch pipe opening / closing valve 81 is closed and the collecting discharge opening / closing valve 82 is opened, the water in the ecological water tank 30 is passed through the collecting and discharging pipe 80 to the next step. Here, the next step may be implemented in various ecotrophic reservoirs which are installed subsequently, or may be returned to the reservoir again.

   On the other hand, in the water, there is a difference in darkness besides the difference in flow velocity depending on the depth of water. Normally, the deeper the water, the darker it will be. Therefore, it is preferable that the shading blind 160 is installed on one or more layers around the side wall of the ecological water tank 30 so that the ecological environment is reflected. In order to be able to control the brightness (darkness) in water by depth, a plurality of layers is preferable.

FIGS. 3 to 6 are views for explaining the light-shielding blind 160. FIG.

3 to 6, the light shielding blind 160 includes a plurality of light shielding pieces 180 arranged side by side in parallel, and each of the light shielding pieces 180 is disposed on the left and right sides of the vertical rotation shaft 181 As shown in Fig. When one of the plurality of shielding pieces 180 rotates left and right and the other shielding pieces 180 in the same layer are opened or closed together when the shielding piece 180 is opened or closed, It is preferable that the light blocking member 180 is installed so as to pass through the light blocking member 180 in the same layer while being connected to one side portion.

The connection line 190 may be connected to the light shield 180 so that the connection line 190 may be inserted into the light shield 180. In view of simplicity of disassembly and assembly, It is preferable that the hooking means 193 is provided on the connecting line 190 so that the connecting line 190 is not slid to the left or to the right in a state where the connecting line 190 is fitted in the line hook 195.

When the shield 180 is closed, the connecting line 190 will be loosely struck, and when it is opened, the connecting line 190 will be pulled tight. In order to reasonably correspond to the former and latter conditions, It is preferable that it is made of a flexible material.

The line loop 195 preferably includes a line inserting section 191 which is a passage through which the connecting line 190 is inserted and a line fixing section 192 where the connecting line 190 is seated. It is preferable that the hooking means 193 is installed so that a plurality of bumps are fitted in the connection line 190. Since the connection line 190 can be easily removed from the line loop 195 through the line inserting unit 191, the number of drops between the line loops 195 can be determined in accordance with the circumstances, (190) can be fixedly inserted into the line loop (195) at regular intervals.

The rotary shaft 181 is preferably installed so that the rotary shaft 181 is inserted upside and down on the horizontal support rods 165 installed laterally between the layers of the light shielding blinds 180. In the drawing, a case is shown in which the ecological water tank 30 is cylindrical, and the lateral support rods 165 are provided in the shape of a circular rim around the ecological water tank 30.

Preferably, the side wall of the ecological water tank 30 is made of a transparent material so that light can be transmitted therethrough, and the shielding piece 180 is made of an opaque material capable of blocking light so as to provide darkness inside the ecological water tank 30 Do.

The shielding piece 180 may not be smoothly rotated by being caught by the inflow pipe 40 and the outflow pipe 50 at a position where the inflow pipe 40 and the outflow pipe 50 are installed, The through hole may be provided in the shielding piece 180 at a position where the inflow pipe 40 and the outflow pipe 50 are passed in order to provide a clearance so that the rotation of the shielding piece 180 is not disturbed. .

It is preferable that the rotary shaft 181 is positioned on one side of the shielding piece 180 and is spaced apart from the side end. When the shielding piece 180 is opened, It is preferable that the light-shielding portion 167 is formed on the light-

When the shielding pieces 180 are closed, it is preferable that the left and right sides of the shielding pieces 180 overlap each other. This overlapping portion effectively prevents light from leaking into the gap between the shielding pieces 180. [ Even if the side portions of the shielding pieces 180 are closed so as to overlap with each other, the light shielding pieces 180 are slightly lifted so that light can leak therebetween. To solve this problem, It is more preferable to block the leakage of light by installing the bar 182.

It is preferable that the shading piece 180 has a dark color on the inner surface so that a dark atmosphere is formed in the closed part. It is preferable to vary the degree of darkness by the number of layers of the light blocking blinds 160 so that the degree of darkness can be varied by depth. (For example, the shade blind 160 on the first floor rather than the shade blind 160 on the third floor) becomes darker as the depth of water becomes deeper as the water depth becomes deeper. Therefore, if the inside of the ecological water tank 30 is an actual natural environment Lt; / RTI >

It is preferable that the ecological water tank 30 is covered with a lid 150 so that the upper part can be opened and closed. If the lid 150 is made of a single body, it is too heavy to open and close, . In the drawing, two cases are shown. The lid 150 is preferably in the form of a net so that air and light can pass through it. Of course, the light may be transmitted through the transparent polymer material, but the foreign substance may be blocked. In the upper space of the lid 150, a light irradiating device 90 for irradiating light is preferably provided.

As described above, according to the present invention, since the flow rate and the degree of darkness can be different according to the depth of water and the amount of light irradiation can be adjusted, the internal environment of the ecological tank can be made closer to the actual ecological environment of the water, It is possible to reliably investigate or study the ecological environment in the water.

Particularly, in a state in which the collection outlet pipe 80 is not separated from the succeeding device connected thereto, the discharge flow rate can be grasped by the water bypassed through the branch pipe 87 and the flow rate can be adjusted based on the discharge flow rate It is convenient.
