Description

Fish tank management device {APPARATUS OF CONTROLLING FISHBOWL}

The present invention relates to equipment for monitoring and managing a fish tank or tank for raising ornamental fish.

In 1868, the French Consul in China brought the southern fish, Paradise Fish, to Paris. By the end of the 19th century, he reared and bred tropical fish around Europe and the United States, making it an object of contemplation.

Tropical fish are native to Southeast Asia, Central America, South America, and Africa, and are mostly small, beautiful freshwater fish.

In recent years, as a result of varieties improvement, breeding varieties of color and form are much more superior to the original species, and large species which are not beautiful but are ecologically interesting, such as swimming, are also being added. In addition, according to the advancement of the breeding method, the marine fish living in the coral reef is also raised, and the outer edge of the ornamental fish is getting bigger.

Today, tropical fish are raised to more than 400 species of freshwater fish and 150 species of saltwater fish.

In terms of its type, neon tetra, cardinal tetra, perez tetra and kissingugami are gentle and healthy in nature and are suitable for beginners. On the other hand, Discus, Sumatra, Beta, and Jewelfish, which are better at breeding because they are delicate, are also widely bred.

Due to the unique beauty of ornamental fish, a large number of hobbyists enjoy raising fish.

The basic principle of fish farming is to make it as close as possible to the environment of the original habitat. Since fish farms have different characteristics and different survival environments, fish farming requires specialized knowledge and much sincerity.

It is common for beginners who do not have enough knowledge or experience to die as soon as they move to a fishbowl because they do not have the right conditions for survival.

This makes it easier for beginners without specialized knowledge by automatically monitoring and managing whether the environment inside a fish tank is suitable for the survival of a species of ornamental fish, and whether the water temperature, the amount of food, and the environment inside the fish tank are changing. There is a need to develop a methodology that will enable ornamental fish farming.

On the other hand, even in the case of specialized knowledge and experience, modern people living in a busy modern society are sometimes in an environment in which they can't take care of ornamental fish closely. In this situation, it is necessary to develop a methodology that monitors the changes in the environment and the environment inside the tank to help the user take minimal measures for survival.

In addition, the control circuit unit 180 controls the sensor 130 according to a key input through the key input unit 172 or a control signal from a remote place to measure the water quality or water temperature inside the fish tank 10, and the water temperature or water quality An alarm is triggered when it is out of this defined range.

If the water temperature inside the fish tank 10 is out of a predetermined range may have a significant effect on the survival of the ornamental fish. On the other hand, if the ph is out of a predetermined range may affect the survival or sexual intercourse may not be smooth.

On the other hand, when the nitrate concentration is out of the predetermined range it can be seen that the water quality deteriorated, if the potassium ion concentration is out of the preset range may not be normally grown in the anaerobic, aerobic bacteria.

Accordingly, the control circuit unit 180 displays an alarm through the liquid crystal display 171 when the water quality or the water temperature is out of the predetermined range, or provides an alarm signal to the remote user computer or server through the network adapter 160.

On the other hand, an alarm is displayed through the LCD screen 171, or a user who confirms the alarm occurrence by accessing the remote computer through the key input unit 172 to control the water temperature or to operate the remote computer to control the water temperature. Can generate a control signal.

Accordingly, the control circuit unit 180 may control the heating wire 150 to heat the water filled in the fish tank 10. When the water temperature measured by the sensor 130 is sufficiently heated to correspond to the preset range, the control circuit unit 180 blocks the current applied to the heating wire 150 to prevent the water temperature from being excessively raised.

In this way, it is also possible to adjust the ph in addition to raising the water temperature in response to the occurrence of the alarm.

The pitmoss thrower 122 stores a certain amount of pitmoss therein and drops a certain amount of pitmoss into the fish tank 10 under the control of the control circuit unit 180.
