Abstract
Aquarium system and aquarium skimmer capable of increasing water-air mixing and reducing water consumption during operation are disclosed. The aquarium system includes an aquarium body containing water therein, a skimmer provided inside the aquarium body for filtering foreign matter contained in the water, and a water supply unit configured to circulate water passing through the skimmer and supply the water back into the aquarium body 1 circulation tube and a pump for causing water to circulate through the first circulation tube; The first circulation pipe has at least one portion drawn out of the aquarium body, and an air supply pipe connected to the first circulation pipe located on the outside of the aquarium body to supply external air to the first circulation pipe.
Description
The present invention relates to an aquarium system and a skimmer for an aquarium, and more particularly, to an aquarium system and a skimmer for an aquarium that can supply oxygen to the inside of an aquarium and increase the mixing of water and air, will be.
Generally, various kinds of foreign matter such as suspended solids, dissolved organic matter, and fish excrement are generated in the water that is dewatered in an aquarium, and the foreign matter accumulates on the bottom of the aquarium and is decomposed by microorganisms over time to deplete dissolved oxygen Decomposition substances such as nitrate ion and ammonium ion are increased by the addition.
Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1484004 (2015.01.13) filed by the Korean Society of Applied Life Science (No. 10-1484004) entitled " Water Quality " (hereinafter referred to as " water quality " A skimmer for an aquarium has been disclosed which has excellent purification ability capable of purifying water, supplying oxygen, and appropriately adjusting the amount of bubbles generated according to the amount of organic matter.
FIG. 1 is a view showing a conventional skimmer for an aquarium, and FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of an air control valve of a conventional aquarium skimmer.
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, a conventional aquarium skimmer includes an
The skimmer for an aquarium has a waste receptacle (90) for storing foam discharged through a foam outlet pipe (80) connected to an outlet port (31) formed on an upper side of a venturi pipe (30). The skimmer for the aquarium further comprises an
The
The conventional aquarium skimmer supplies the oxygen generated from the
Conventional aquarium skimmer can not sufficiently mix the air supplied from the outside with the water in the water tank, so that the oxygen supply amount can not be sufficiently secured. In operation, the foam water is discharged to the outside, Water consumption is increased.
In order to solve such conventional problems, the present invention provides an aquarium system and a skimmer for an aquarium that can increase the mixing of water and air and reduce water consumption during operation.
The aquarium system according to the present invention comprises an aquarium main body containing water therein, a skimmer provided inside the aquarium main body for filtering foreign matter contained in the water, circulating water passing through the skimmer, And a pump for causing water to circulate through the first circulation pipe; The first circulation pipe has at least one portion drawn out of the aquarium body, and an air supply pipe connected to the first circulation pipe located on the outside of the aquarium body to supply external air to the first circulation pipe.
In the above, the first circulation pipe is connected to the first circulation pipe at both ends thereof, and a second circulation pipe is provided to circulate water flowing through the first circulation pipe; An air supply pipe is connected to the second circulation pipe; Both end portions of the second circulation pipe are provided with bending portions facing each other in the first circulation pipe, and both ends of the second circulation pipe are provided in parallel with the first circulation pipe.
In the above, the second circulation pipe has an orifice portion where the cross-sectional area of the flow path is decreased and increased at the connection portion of the air supply pipe.
The first circulation pipe includes an inner tube connected to the skimmer at one side and located inside the aquarium body, and an outer tube connected to the other side of the inner tube and drawn out to the outside of the aquarium body.
In the above, there is provided an extension tube extending from the outer tube and configured to supply water into the inside of the aquarium body.
In the above, the skimmer is configured to float on the water contained in the inside of the aquarium body.
The skimmer body for aquarium according to the present invention includes a cover having a filter for filtering water contained in an aquarium and a discharge hole coupled to the cover and discharging water through the filter, And a float for floating the skimmer body and the cover.
In the above, the cover has a support portion in a mesh shape on the side surface, and the filter is slidably inserted into the support portion.
The skimmer body includes a bottom portion formed to be inclined downward and formed with a discharge hole on a bottom surface thereof, and a column portion extending upward from the bottom portion and slidably coupling the cover.
In the above, at least one support extending inward from the skimmer body and supporting the float, wherein the float is disposed inside the skimmer body.
In the above, there is provided a foreign matter collecting portion which extends laterally outward of the support portion and accommodates the foreign matter filtered in the filter.
The aquarium system and the aquarium skimmer according to the present invention can increase the mixing of water and air, reduce water consumption during operation, and facilitate the installation and separation of the filter.
