The present invention relates to an apparatus for filtering stored water, such as an aquarium or aquaculture farm, and for cleaning deposits or sand deposited under water.

In the filtration of aquarium water, many types of filters have been invented, such as a bottom filter, a side filter, and an external filter, but since the bottom filter is installed in the sand under water and biologically filtered by filtration bacteria, it takes a long time to filter. In addition, it was not possible to clean sediments under water, and the side-mounted sponge filter or submerged motor filter depended on biological filtration, making it impossible to clean the sediments, as well as filters using submersible pumps. The result was a killing of the pom-poms by the fan, and the entry of foreign matter into the submersible pump caused a failure.

In addition, in the case of the sand cleaner of the aquarium, it was very cumbersome to clean the sand because it used a method of sucking water out of the aquarium by using a hose, and the cleaner using an underwater pump as disclosed in the publication number 1992-0017411. If sand or sediment is sucked into the pump, it can damage the pump's fan or cause the fan to malfunction.

In the existing method, the filter and the sediment cleaner are integrated into one, and the filter provides the ease of cleaning the filter, the protection of the fry, and the efficient filtration effect. The sediment cleaner can easily clean the sediment without removing water from the tank. It is an object of the present invention to make it possible to prevent damage to the device due to deposits.

As shown in the cross-sectional view of Figs. 1 and 3, the configuration of the present invention is inserted into the floating filter (1) to filter the sediment and easy to infiltrate the filtration bacteria 4, and floating in water on the top It has a space (1a) to form an air layer, and has a plurality of drain holes (1b) for discharging water at the bottom, and a tube (1c) to connect with the bottom absorber (2) in the center and Floating filter (1) having an air hole (1d) that can be connected to the air pipe (5) that can receive air from the bubble generator at the bottom, and can be connected to the air pipe (5) that can be injected air from the bubble generator Air holes (2b) and a plurality of absorbing holes (2a) for suctioning water and suspended solids due to the rise of water due to the rise of air, and grooves (2d) used for digging sand and floating filters (1). Funnel-shaped bottom absorber with tube (2c) , It consists of a bottom absorber (2), the handle (3) that can be connected to the bottom the absorber (2) with a drain hole (3a) capable of discharging the water from rising.

Referring to the operation of the present invention, as shown in Figure 3, the filter 4 is inserted into the floating filter (1), the bottom absorber (2) connecting the air pipe (5) is inserted into the floating filter (1) After immersion in water, the floating filter (1) floats on the water by the buoyancy by the air layer (1a) and the bottom absorber (2) sinks to the water by its own weight, regardless of the height of the floor. Is fitted. At this time, when the air is injected from the bubble generator through the air pipe (5), the air rises due to the buoyancy of the air bubbles (8a) and the water rise due to the resistance due to the volume of the air bubbles (8a) is not only water but also floats and The deposit 8b is also raised. The water, suspended matter, and sediment 8b thus raised are accumulated in the floating filter 1 and the process of exiting the drain hole 1b through the filter 4 is repeated. At this time, since the water cannot easily escape through the drain hole 1b due to the filter 4, the water gradually accumulates in the floating filter 1, and due to the buoyancy of the floating filter 1, The water surface 6a of the water becomes higher than the water surface 6b of the tank. Due to the water pressure higher than the water surface 6b of the water tank, the water accumulated in the floating filter 1 is easily discharged to the drain hole 1b through the filter 4, and thus a physical filtration effect is generated by the water pressure. Water rising from the bottom absorber (2) together with the air bubbles (8a) and supplied to the filter (4) through the floating filter (1) contains a lot of oxygen, so it is a good environment for aerobic filtration bacteria to inhabit. It also provides biological filtration effect. When the handle (3) is connected to the bottom filter (2), the water rising from the bottom filter (2) falls to the floating filter (1) through the drain hole (3a), so the same circulation of water is repeated. It can be easily done and the sand 8c can be dug up to float the deposit, making it easier to clean the deposit.

The present invention is economical because the filter and the sediment cleaner are integrated, and the filter is a floating type on the upper side, which is easy to clean the filter, and uses less power than the submersible pump, which saves energy. In the aquarium, you can get decorative effects such as fountains, and circulate the water using air bubbles, which brings the protection effect of fry, and if the size is different, it can be used for wastewater treatment and seabed resource extraction. .
