The controlled aquarium sterilizing filter of the present invention is formed of the main structure of the suction pipe having a venturi suction port, and the pre and post-treatment pore control fiber filter and the electrode tank. .

Technical problems to be achieved by the controlled aquarium sterilization filter of the present invention are as follows.

First, the conventional aquarium sterilizer is sterilized without filtering and removing wastes and excreta in the tank, so that the amount of disinfectant is increased and disinfection time is required, and thus the chemical cost and power cost are greatly increased. The present invention reduces the amount of disinfectant and the amount of disinfection by-products generated by filtering and sterilizing particulate matter in the water tank.

Second, the conventional aquarium sterilizer (ultraviolet rays, ozone) is difficult to control the intensity or concentration of disinfection, and when operated for a long time caused stress or toxicity to aquatic organisms as well as bacteria and pathogenic bacteria caused death. The controlled aquarium sterilization filter of the present invention controls the amount of the disinfectant to a small amount by adjusting the voltage and the production rate according to the characteristics of the water.

Third, the conventional aquarium filter is difficult to control the air gap by using the non-woven fabric and sponge woven filter medium, and after the filtration proceeds the waste and suspended solids accumulated and difficult to clean, frequent cleaning and replacement was necessary. The pore control fiber yarn filter of the present invention has a high filtration efficiency and a cleaning efficiency by using a medium capable of controlling fine and enlarged pores, and is easy to manage because it is composed of a separate type.

Fourth, the conventional aquarium filter is to filter the floating material in the water, but it is difficult to remove the adhesive material on the wall or bottom of the tank. The controlled aquarium sterilization filter of the present invention uses a suction pipe of a venturi structure in which a propeller and a brush are fired, and removes contaminants on the bottom or wall of the tank with a rotary brush and transfers it to a pore control fiber yarn filter. In particular, the pore-controlled fiber yarn filter is located at the front end of the pump to prevent the filtration performance of the filter due to the generation of fine particles due to the high speed rotation of the pump.

The controlled aquarium sterilizing filter of the present invention is formed of the main structure of the suction pipe having a venturi suction port, and the pre and post-treatment pore control fiber filter and the electrode tank. . The present invention is a controlled aquarium sterilization filter for treating particulate matter and pathogenic bacteria in a tank in which live or ornamental fish live, as a pore-controlled fiber yarn filter and a production amount control electrode tank. This device removes particulate matter in the water tank with a pore-controlled fiber yarn filter and sterilizes pathogenic bacteria with chlorine generated in the production control electrode tank to reduce the amount of disinfectant and the amount of disinfection by-products to ensure safety and a pleasant environment for aquatic organisms. Provided.

Filtration and sterilization mechanism of the controlled aquarium sterilization filter of the present invention is as follows.

The pore control fiber yarn filter removes particulate matter in the water tank, and the pores between the fiber yarns are controlled.The fiber yarns are rotated and twisted during filtration to finely control the voids between the fiber yarns. Filtration and cleaning efficiency are high because air gaps are treated by expanding and adjusting the pores between them.

In the electrode tank composed of copper and electrode to remove pathogenic bacteria in the tank, the amount of chlorine is first controlled by a voltage regulator, and the positive electrode is a copper oxide (copper ion-Cu ²⁺⁾ by a competitive oxidation reaction between copper and chlorine ions. ), The amount of chlorine (melting in water to form hypochlorite ions) is less controlled. Therefore, a large amount of copper ions having weak germicidal power is generated, and chlorine having strong sterilizing power is controlled in a small amount so that the sterilization strength in water is kept low. In addition, since the produced copper ions are reduced to copper at the negative electrode and precipitated, the concentration of copper ions having weak sterilization power is also constantly controlled, thereby maintaining a small amount of sterilization strength even during long time operation.

The apparatus functions of the present invention will be described below using reference numerals.

1) is an inlet pipe located at the outer upper end of the filtration-electrode tank connected to the inlet of the pretreatment pore control fiber yarn filter, and sucks water in the water tank (aquarium) and transfers it to the pretreatment pore control fiber yarn filter.

5) is a submersible pump which is connected to the lower end of the submersible pump suction pipe and pumps the water in the tank.

6) is a venturi suction port which is connected to the end of the inlet pipe and has a corrugation to adjust its length, has a venturi structure, and has a propeller and a brush attached to suck moss and contaminants attached to the bottom or wall of the tank.

6-1) is a brush that is located at the end of the venturi suction port and removes moss and the like attached to the wall while rotating at low power.

8) is a circulating pump located on the side of the post-treatment pore control fiber yarn filter, and circulates and flows water into the filtration and electrode bath. The circulation pump was formed at the rear end of the pre- and post-treatment pore control fiber yarn filter to prevent breakage of particulate matter by the pump to prevent degradation of the filter performance.

9) is copper located at the rear end of the circulation pump and controls the amount of chlorine produced. The copper is repeatedly deposited and eluted (ionized) into copper ions and copper at the positive electrode and maintained at a constant amount. The positive electrode is oxidized first in a competitive oxidation reaction with chlorine ions to produce copper ions. It inhibits the oxidation of chlorine ions and controls the amount of chlorine produced.

The present invention is a controlled aquarium sterilization filter for treating particulate matter and pathogenic bacteria in a tank in which live or ornamental fish live as a pore-controlled fiber yarn filter and a production amount control electrode tank.

First, the amount of disinfectant and the amount of disinfection by-products were reduced by filtering and sterilizing particulate matter in the tank. Existing aquarium sterilizers are installed in tanks and on tanks without filtering and removing wastes and excreta in the tanks, which requires a large amount of disinfectant and takes a long time to sterilize, resulting in large chemical and power costs.

Second, the amount of chlorine produced in the electrode tank consisting of copper and the electrode is controlled by a voltage regulator, and the production rate of copper ions (Cu ²⁺ ) is large and the sterilization is strong due to the competitive oxidation of copper and chlorine ions in the positive electrode. It is an electrode bath which keeps the production rate small and adjusts the intensity | strength of the disinfectant in a tank to a minute amount.

Third, the pore control fiber yarn filter has high filtration and cleaning efficiency due to the fine and enlarged control of the pores during filtration and washing. Existing filters use non-woven fabrics and sponges, which have good initial filtration efficiency and low price, but after filtration, waste and suspended solids accumulate and are difficult to clean.

Fourth, the suction pipe of the venturi structure in which the propeller and the brush are fired is removed by rotating the adhesive material in the water tank, so that the sediment or floating material in the water tank can be treated as well as the moss attached to the wall. Conventional aquarium water purifiers remove suspended solids but are difficult to remove adherent substances.
