Description

The utility model relates to aquarium fish farming, in particular to means for mechanical cleaning of amateur aquariums from filamentous algae and combing and straightening for the purpose of healing and aquadesign of aquarium plants rooted in the ground.

There are known mechanical methods for cleaning aquariums from filamentous algae: directly with your hands, a net, a glass cleaner, a brush and the opposite side of the holders to which they are attached. The disadvantage of these methods is painstaking work with your hands in water and with the help of non-purpose devices, which does not provide high-quality cleaning, violates aquadesign and does not meet modern requirements for the comfort of caring for an aquarium. There are no specialized mechanical devices [1, 2 p. 192, 3, 4 p. 43].

The declared utility model is aimed at eliminating these shortcomings and the following technical result was obtained from its implementation: cleaning is carried out efficiently, three times faster, improves aquatic design without immersing hands in water.

The technical result is achieved through the use of a specialized device. A device for cleaning an aquarium, including a holder and a working part made in the form of a comb consisting of teeth with rounded tips, the comb is located at an angle of 130 degrees to the holder, the length of the comb is 7.8 cm, the number of teeth is 7 pcs., diameter cloves - 2.5 mm, distance between cloves - 1 cm, length of cloves - 2.5 cm.

The utility model is illustrated in Fig. 1. In FIG. Figure 1 shows a diagram of a device for cleaning an aquarium, where the working part is made in the form of a scallop.

The aquarium cleaning device is made from typical materials used in the manufacture of other aquarium equipment - nets, windshield wipers, brushes, which are not capable of harming the aquarium and its inhabitants. The distance between the comb teeth is determined by the width of the leaves of the cultivated plants, usually deployed at different angles. First of all, these are various species of Vallisneria, arrowworts, swampweeds, narrow-leaved species of aponogetons, cryptocorynes, and echinodorus [2, 4]. The comb teeth must be rounded so as not to damage the glass and plants.

The location of the scallop in relation to the handle is more than 90 degrees due to the peculiarities of caring for the aquarium. Aquarium maintenance work is carried out with a view through the front glass to obtain the desired decorative look, as well as from under a partially open cover glass or stiffeners on all-glass aquariums. Removing filamentous algae and combing plants is done with the comb teeth forward, bottom-up movements, and, if necessary, other movements.
