Aquarium filter is built in the pump according to an embodiment of the present invention shown in Figure 2 to 6,

In the aquarium filter for separating and removing foreign matter in the aquarium for saltwater fish supplied by the sea water due to the generation of fine bubbles,

A first space portion 15 in which a pump 14 having a suction port 12 communicating with the seawater suction pipe 11 through which the seawater flows from the water tank A and a discharge port 13 for discharging the seawater is formed; Into the second space portion 18 which is separated from the first space portion 15 by the two-stage diaphragm 17 through which the injection hole 16 for ejecting the seawater discharged through the discharge port 13 is formed. Body 19,

The outlet side is connected to the seawater suction pipe 11 so as to communicate, and the bubble generation hose 20 (flexible) which supplies external air to the seawater suction pipe 11 so as to generate air bubbles in the seawater passing through the injection hole 16 (flexible) One synthetic resin material),

Removably coupled to the upper side of the body 19, consisting of the inner and outer tubes (21, 22) to collect foreign matter (such as excretion of saltwater fish) separated by the air bubbles in the sea water injected through the injection hole 16 Foreign matter collection container (23),

It is coupled to open and close the outlet 25 of the discharge pipe 24 communicated to the first space 15, and includes an adjustment means for varying the seawater discharge discharged through the discharge port 25 in accordance with the rotation angle .

The above-mentioned adjustment means,

The valve 26 for adjusting the opening area of the outlet 25 corresponding to the rotation angle and integrally extended to the valve 26 to be rotatably coupled to the upper portion of the discharge pipe 24 and according to the amount of rotation ( And a knob 27 for adjusting the amount of opening and closing of 26).

The chamber 28 is rotatably coupled to the upper side of the discharge pipe 24 and the inlet side of the bubble generating hose 20 is in communication with the chamber 28, and rotatably coupled to the upper end of the chamber 28. It includes a cover 29 for adjusting the amount of external air supplied to the seawater suction pipe 11 according to the total amount.

Coupling means for detachably coupling the foreign matter collection container 23 to the above-described body 19,

A locking projection 31 protruding from an outer surface of the flange 30 formed at the lower end of the inner tube 21 and having an upper surface inclined in one direction, and a flange 32 formed at an upper end of the second space portion 18. The stopper 33 is formed to face the inner side of the) and the bottom surface is inclined in one direction, and the stopper 33 is coupled to the locking jaw 31 to fasten the foreign matter collector 23 to the body 19. And a cutout 34 formed between the neighboring stopper 33 and the stopper 33 so as to be possible.

The upper end of the inner tube 21 of the above-described foreign matter collection container 23 is formed to be relatively lower than the upper end of the outer tube (22).

At least one of the above-described body 19 and the foreign matter collection container 23 is formed of a transparent body (such as an acrylic material) so that the inside can be visually identified.

In the figure, reference numeral 35 is a through hole formed in the lower flange of the diaphragm 17, and 36 is a lid coupled to the foreign matter collection container 23.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings an example of the use of the aquarium filter is built in the pump according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

As shown in Figs. 4 (a, b), 5 (a, b) and 6, the pump 14 is driven by the power supplied from the outside in the state where the filter A is fresh in the tank A described above. Done. As the pump 14 is driven, the seawater in the water tank A is sequentially passed through the seawater suction pipe 11 and the suction port 12 of the pump 14 to be sucked to the pump 14 side.

Seawater passing through the discharge port 13 of the pump 14 is injected into the upper portion of the second space portion 18 through the injection hole 16 of the diaphragm 17. In this case, since the external air is supplied to the seawater suction pipe 11 through the bubble generation hose 20, fine bubbles are generated in the seawater discharged through the discharge port 13 of the pump 14.

On the other hand, as shown in Figure 5 (a, b), it is possible to adjust the amount of external air supplied to the seawater suction pipe 11 through the bubble generation hose (20). That is, the amount of external air flowing into the chamber 28 may be adjusted according to the amount of rotating the cover 29 with respect to the chamber 28 rotatably coupled to the upper side of the discharge pipe 24. That is, the opening area of the through hole 28a formed at the top of the chamber 28 can be variably adjusted by the rotation of the cover 29.

Due to the bubbles generated as described above, the foreign matter (feces discharged by the saltwater fish, etc. inside the aquarium) contained in the seawater sprayed through the injection hole 16 is separated from the seawater. At this time, the foreign matter including the suspended matter separated from the sea water is collected in the foreign matter collection container 23 coupled to the upper end of the second space portion 18.

That is, as the seawater injected into the upper portion of the second space portion 18 through the injection hole 16 collides with the lid 36, foreign matter is collected between the inner and outer pipes 21 and 22, and at the same time the seawater The water drops down the second space portion 18 along the inner tube 21. The seawater falling down to the second space portion 18 is moved to the first space portion 15 through the through hole 35 formed through the lower flange of the diaphragm 17.

As shown in FIG. 4 (a, b), the seawater that has fallen into the first space part 15 is discharged to the water tank A through the discharge port 25 of the discharge pipe 24. At this time, the amount of seawater exiting the discharge pipe 24 can be adjusted by the amount of rotation of the knob 27 coupled to the discharge pipe 24. That is, the seawater amount can be adjusted by variably adjusting the opening area of the outlet 25 by the rotation of the valve 26 formed at the lower end of the knob 27.

As shown in FIG. 3, the foreign matter collected in the above-described foreign matter collection container 23 may be separated from the filter and disposed at a designated place. That is, in the case of holding the foreign matter collecting container 23 and rotating it counterclockwise, the stopper 33 formed to face the inner surface of the flange 32 formed on the upper end of the second space part 18 and the inner tube corresponding thereto. The locking of the locking step 31 formed on the outer surface of the flange 30 formed at the lower end of the 21 is released.

At this time, when the locking jaw 31 is located in the cutout 34 formed between the stopper 33 and the stopper 33, the foreign matter collection container 23 can be separated from the body 19.

On the other hand, the technical information for circulating the sea water by communicating the aquarium (A) in which the filter is installed and the aquarium containing the saltwater fish is a technical content used in the art, so their detailed description is omitted.

As described above, the aquarium filter having a built-in pump according to an embodiment of the present invention, as the pump is installed inside the filter for filtering foreign substances, including the excreta discharged from the sea fish, the pump, the outside air in the tank The workability of installing the supply hose, the pump fixing bracket and the filter is improved, and the size of the water tank is reduced so that the space for installing the aquarium is not limited.
