The following is further described in detail in conjunction with the preferred embodiments shown in the drawings.

The invention provides an aquaculture tank cover inlaid with an anti-shock heat-dissipating metal plate, and an aquaculture tank in which the cover of the aquaculture tank cover is embedded with an impact-resistant heat-dissipating metal plate. Since the aquaculture tank body of the aquaculture tank cover is generally used as a whole, the preferred embodiment of the present invention is a preferred embodiment of the aquaculture tank in which the box cover is embedded with an impact-resistant heat-dissipating metal sheet, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3. As shown, the aquarium tank with the impact-resistant heat-dissipating metal plate is included in the box cover, including the culture box body 50 and the non-metallic material cover 40 on the cover, and the inner surface of the box cover 40 or the space directly below is installed with an electric appliance Component. The lid 40 is coupled to the tank body 50 by a hinge or pivot so that the lid 40 can be conveniently opened while the aquarium is being maintained. In particular, at least one hollow portion is provided on the cover 40, and an impact-resistant heat-dissipating metal plate 44 is embedded in each of the hollow portions, and each metal plate 4 is physically and firmly bonded to the material of the cover 40 around it. In one piece, the electrical component or the heat generating component of the electrical component is mounted on the inner surface of each metal plate 44 or in a space directly under it.

As described above, the electrical component includes the lighting component 20 that is generally disposed, and may be other electrical devices that are disposed according to the use, including a heating rod, a water pump, etc., and an AC/DC conversion and voltage regulation regulator configured for them. Device. When only one piece of the metal plate is embedded, all the electrical components may be disposed on the inner surface or the space directly under the metal plate 44, and only the heat-generating components of the electrical component may be disposed, and other electrical components are disposed at other necessary positions, including the cover. Below, inside the aquarium tank 50 or outside the aquaculture tank. In addition, in some special applications, such as the electrical components are each large in size or other need to separately install the electrical components respectively under different positions under the cover 40, the cover can also be embedded with more than two metal plates, The electrical components can be respectively disposed on the inner surface of each metal plate or directly below Further, the respective heat generating members of the electric component may be respectively disposed on the inner surface or the space directly below the metal plates, and the other non-heat generating members may be disposed on the inner surface or the lower space where the box cover 40 is not inlaid with the metal plate 44. Since one of the functions of the metal plate is to dissipate heat, merely placing the heat-generating component in the electrical component on the inner surface of the metal plate or directly below it is a modification that is easily conceivable by an engineer in the art. The heat generating component includes a light source or a power supply device of the lighting component, and the AC/DC converting device, the voltage stabilizing device, the voltage regulating device, and the ballast device.

The metal plate can solve the heat dissipation problem of the lighting fixture by utilizing the heat conduction property of the metal; since the metal plate and the material of the aquaculture tank cover are physically and firmly integrated, the waterproof problem of the lighting component under the metal plate is not only solved, but also The impact resistance of the entire aquaculture tank cover is enhanced. The metal plate 44 is physically and firmly integrated with the material of the box cover 40 around it, and can be realized in the following two ways:

The first way is to use the multi-material injection molding process to pre-position the metal plates 44 in the mold corresponding to the positions of the respective hollow portions each time the injection mold of the cover 40 is closed. The mold plastic is clamped and injected into the molten state, so that the metal cover 44 and the engineering plastics around it are firmly combined to form the cover 40 after demolding.

The second way is to apply an adhesive to the periphery of each hollow portion of the cover 40 by means of a metal-non-metal bonding process, and the adhesive may or may not be applied around the metal plates 44. a bonding agent, covering the metal plate 44 over the corresponding hollow portion of the cover 40, with a slight pressure, after the adhesive is cured, that is, the metal plate 44 and its surrounding non-metallic material The cover 40 is firmly integrated.

The above two modes can be applied to the preferred embodiment. For ease of understanding, FIG. 2 shows a schematic exploded view of the metal plate 44 and the cover 40 being separated, but for the aquarium which is actually manufactured, The metal plate 44 cannot be disassembled or detached from the cover 40, that is, the metal plate 44 and the cover 40 are firmly integrated. In order to enhance the heat dissipation effect of the metal plate 44, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, one of the surfaces of the metal plate 44 of the preferred embodiment of the present invention is formed with a plurality of mutually parallel grooves 441 formed between the grooves 441. The strip-shaped heat dissipating ribs 442 increase the chance of air coming into contact with the surface of the metal plate 44, increasing the heat dissipating area. Moreover, as shown in FIG. 4, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a thinned fitting structure 443 extends around the periphery of the metal plate 44 so that the metal plate 44 is firmly integrated with the cover 40. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the electrical component assembly is exemplified by a lighting component 20 that is generally provided as an example. The illumination assembly 20 can use an LED that is currently being commonly used as a light source, that is, the illumination assembly 20 mounted on the inner surface of the metal plate 44 on the cover 40 is adhered to the inner surface of the metal plate 44, and is fabricated in a flexible circuit. Board LED light string. Since each of the lamp bodies of the LED light string is both a light source and a main heat generating component, the LED light string is mounted on the inner surface of the metal plate 44 to achieve an optimum heat dissipation effect. The LED light string made on the flexible circuit board is printed on the flexible insulating material including the polyester film, the polycarbonate film and the polyimide film, and bonds and solders the LED light emitting sheets. a string of lights formed by the body.

In order to enhance the lighting effect, two or more of the metal plates 44 may be inlaid in the cover 40, and the LED light strings are mounted on the inner surface of each of the metal plates in the above manner, which should be the above-mentioned LED light string as the illumination assembly 20. A workaround. In addition, when the electrical component includes other electrical components in addition to the LED light string of the lighting component 20, for example, including a water pump, two metal plates 44 may be embedded in the cover 40, and the inner surface of one metal plate 44 may be installed. The LED string is mounted with a water pump and its power source below the other metal plate 44, or only the power source of the water pump as a heat generating component is installed under the other metal plate 44, and is fixedly mounted below the box cover 40 without the inlaid metal plate 44. The water pump. The above approach should also be a workaround for installing electrical components.

The preferred embodiment of the present invention uses a fluorescent tube as a light source. As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the illumination assembly 20 installed in the space directly under the metal plate 44 on the cover 40 includes a fluorescent tube 22 and a reflector 21 thereof. The material of the box cover 40 around the metal plate 44 extends downward to form a skirt 42. The periphery of the reflector 21 is rooted on the skirt 42. The central portion of the reflector 21 is upwardly arched to the metal. The inner surface of the plate 44 is such that the heat emitted from the fluorescent tube 22 is rapidly conducted to the metal plate 44 through the reflecting plate 21 in the direction indicated by the arrow in FIG. The fluorescent tube 22 is also rooted and fixed to the skirt 42 by means of a lamp socket. A lamp cover 23 made of a transparent material is snapped onto the skirt 42 to seal the fluorescent tube 22 and the reflector 21 together with the skirt 42. In addition, the lighting assembly 20 installed in the space directly under the metal plate 44 on the cover 40 further includes an inductive ballast or an electronic ballast. With a fluorescent tube as a light source, the heat generation of the fluorescent tube is not a main heat generating component, and the ballast disposed for the fluorescent tube 22 is a main heat generating component. Therefore, the fluorescent tube 22 and its reflector 21 in the illumination assembly 20 are not necessarily disposed on the inner surface of the metal plate 44 or directly under it, but if the ballast configured for the fluorescent tube 22 is disposed on the cover 40 At least, the ballast should be disposed on or directly below the inner surface of the metal plate 44. Of course, the ballast is disposed in close proximity to the metal plate 44, which is the best way to dissipate heat quickly.

For the preferred embodiment of the present invention, two metal plates 44 are mounted on the cover 40, and a fluorescent tube 22 and its reflector 21 are mounted under the metal plate 44, and the ballast is mounted on the inner surface of the other metal plate, also for the fluorescent lamp. A variant installation of the lighting assembly 20.

For other electrical components, such as pumps, heating rods, and AC/DC converters and voltage regulators for other electrical components, AC/DC converters and voltage regulators for other electrical components are usually electrical appliances. The heat-generating component of the assembly. The mounting position of the electrical component can be fully referred to the above preferred embodiment and various modified installations. Alternatively, the other electrical components and the AC/DC converting device configured as a heat generating component for other electrical components may be mounted on the inner surface of the metal plate 44 or directly below the space; or it may be used only as The AC/DC converting device and the voltage regulating device configured for the other electrical components of the heat generating component are mounted on the inner surface of the metal plate 44 or directly under the space, and the non-heat generating components of other electrical components are installed at other positions, and are not necessarily required The inner surface of the metal plate 44 or the space directly under the metal plate 44 is similarly mounted; similarly, two or more metal plates 44 may be embedded in the cover 40, and the electrical components are respectively disposed on the inner surface or the space directly under the metal plates 44. Alternatively, the heat generating components of the respective electrical components are disposed on the inner surface of the metal plate 44 or directly below the space, and the electrical components of the other non-heat generating components are disposed on the inner surface of the cover 40 or a space directly under it.
