Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial field of application) In the present invention, by providing an over tank on the back surface of the water tank for compactness and simplifying the hypercirculation path, each water tank section is independent. The present invention relates to a live fish tank which can be installed in a plurality of stages (in which the temperature can be individually adjusted and the water quality such as seawater and fresh water can be freely set).

(Prior Art) Currently, live fish tanks are widely used in fresh fish stores, sushi restaurants, Japanese cuisine restaurants, etc., so that fresh raw fish can be provided at any time. The water tank has a basic water circulation path in which water (seawater or fresh water) in the water tank is passed through the excess material via a circulation pump, etc., adjusted to a set temperature by a refrigerator or heater, and then fed back into the water tank. Is made. In addition, the method of passing the water in the water tank is that the water in the upper part of the water tank is naturally dropped by the overflow method etc. into the overwater tank which is placed under the water tank and is made by stacking the excess materials (cotton, zeolite, coral sand, activated carbon etc.) The most common method is to provide a drainage port on the side of the water tank and let it fall naturally into the excess tank from the drainage port.However, a partition plate with a large number of water passage holes is fixedly installed at the bottom of the water tank. A bottom-passing method, in which a passing tank is formed at the bottom, is also used in some areas.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) However, in the case of the conventional overpass method, a considerable volume is required below the water tank (installation location of the overwater tank, refrigerator, etc.), and it is inevitable that one water tank is large. I had no choice but to turn it into something. In addition, even if the bottom tank is a bottom tank type that forms an over tank, it requires a considerable height. Compared with this, the rate of bacteria essential to the water tank was very low, and it was necessary to take out all of the water tank once when cleaning the over tank. Also, with the conventional water circulation system using a water tank, only one water tank can be installed for one set of refrigerators and over tanks, and in order to separate ordinary fish, shellfish, shrimp, etc. into each water tank, A separate aquarium facility was needed. Some conventional water tanks have two or three water tanks, but this is simply dividing the water tank, and the water passes through each water tank in order. The water temperature is the same and each water tank part is not independent. For example, when a trouble occurs in one water tank part, it affects other water tank parts, which is a disadvantage of dividing the water tank. Is also very large.

The present invention has been made in view of the above point, and by performing the excess of water in the aquarium portion in the back portion of the aquarium portion, the aquarium is miniaturized as much as possible and the incidence of bacteria is increased, and By providing a water tank at the back of the tank, the water tank circulates independently, and a live fish tank can be installed in which multiple water tanks with different water temperatures and water qualities can be installed in multiple stages by providing only one refrigerator. With the goal.

(Means for Solving Problems) The gist of the present invention for achieving the above-mentioned object is to form a filter tank by standing a partition plate having a water passage groove in an upper portion at a proper position on the back side of the water tank portion. , A water temperature adjusting chamber is provided on the side surface of the water tank portion, and a water pipe for guiding water from the lower part of the filtration layer to the water temperature adjusting chamber is laid through a circulation pump, and the water pipe is communicated with the water pipe, and above the front side of the water tank portion. Piping a water discharge pipe with a water discharge hole at the position,
In one water tank part, the water in the water tank part is filtered, and the water circulation pipe is passed through the water temperature control chamber and the water discharge pipe is used to discharge the water again into the water tank part. A cooling pipe for cooling the filtered water from the refrigerator is installed, and a solenoid valve interlocking with a thermostat is installed at an appropriate position of the cooling pipe so that the water temperature can be maintained at the set temperature. A live fish tank characterized by being provided so that the temperature of the water in the water circulation path can be adjusted appropriately, and a single refrigerator can simultaneously install a plurality of water tanks containing water of different water qualities and temperatures. is there.

(Working) As described above, in the live fish tank of the present invention, the water in the tank flows down from the water passage in the upper part of the partition plate to the over tank side (in this case, since the air is sufficiently touched, the incidence of bacteria is high. Is good, though it is permeated through the excess material in the excess tank to be purified into clean water and cooled by the cooling pipe at the bottom of the excess tank, but the solenoid valve that works with the thermostat to keep the preset water temperature is the refrigerant. The pressure of is adjusted and the amount of heat absorption is changed appropriately. This cooling water is once guided to the water temperature control chamber by the water suction pipe by the power of the circulation pump, and is connected to the water suction pipe, and is discharged into the water tank through the water discharge hole of the water discharge pipe installed at the upper position on the front side of the water tank section. Make a path. Of course, if the outside temperature is low and the set temperature cannot be maintained only by the refrigerator, a heater interlocked with the thermostat should be installed inside the water temperature control room to heat the water from the water suction pipe to maintain the set temperature. To do.
The water tank of the present invention can be installed in a plurality of stages because the installation height can be suppressed to the minimum limit because the back portion in the water tank is overloaded as described above. By simply connecting the cooling pipe protruding from the machine to each water tank part, each water tank part performs independent water circulation, so it is possible to use each water tank part with different water quality, different water temperature, and Even if a trouble occurs in one tank, the other tanks will not be adversely affected.

(Example) Hereinafter, the Example of this invention is described based on drawing.

FIG. 1 is a schematic plan view showing an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a sectional side view, FIG. 3 is a perspective view, FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a live fish tank with a plurality of stages, and FIG. It is a fragmentary side view which shows the water tank for wasabi growth.

In the drawing, (1) is a water tank part, which is a box body formed of an acrylic plate, a glass plate, etc., and a partition plate (4) with a water passage groove (4a) engraved at the upper part is set up at the rear position on the back side. Install and water tank (1)
The over tank (2) is formed in the rear part of the water tank, and the dirty water in the water tank section (1) naturally flows out from the water passage (4a) to the over tank (2) side. The excess material (2a) such as cotton, zeolite, coral sand, and activated carbon is laminated in the excess tank (2), and the cooling pipe (5a) from the refrigerator (5) is connected to the bottom part. It is configured to cool the excess water. (3) is a water temperature adjusting chamber, which is operated appropriately to keep the water inside the water tank (1) at the set temperature before the step of discharging the cooled water into the water tank (1) again. It is an adjustment chamber installed on the side, and it is an over tank (2)
Connect one end of the water absorption pipe (6) to the lower part of the side of the water tank and feed water from the excess tank (2) through the circulation pump to the heater part (8) on the water temperature adjustment chamber (3) side.
In this configuration, the cooling operation is unnecessary, and when the water temperature is raised, the heater part (8) is appropriately heated and maintained at the temperature. (9) is a thermostat,
This is an incubator for keeping the temperature set by the temperature adjusting dial (10), and is linked to a solenoid valve (5b) and a heater section (8) provided at appropriate positions of the cooling pipe (5a). In addition, the refrigerator (5) is a device that makes a cycle of continuously changing the state of expansion (heat absorption) and compression (heat dissipation) in a refrigerant gas such as chlorofluorocarbon, ammonia, etc. However, the solenoid valve (5b) of the thermostat (9) and cooling pipe (5a) should be adjusted so that the temperature setting etc. can be adjusted appropriately.
The flow rate and pressure of the refrigerant gas are adjusted so as to maintain the water temperature at the set constant temperature, and the heat absorption amount of the cooling pipe (5a) is appropriately changed. Although the refrigerator (5) is installed at a different position in Fig. 1, it is installed inside the water temperature control chamber (3) and the heater part
The heating / cooling unit may be integrated with (8) or may be installed below the water tank. The water discharge pipe (11) is the heater part
It is a pipe that is connected to the water tank part (1) that is in communication with (8) .It is spouted from the water discharge hole (11a) by the pump pressure, but air is injected before spraying water in a mist. You may spray it.

Therefore, with the water tank configured as described above, the height of the water tank can be minimized, and the water circulation path is simplified. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, one refrigerator ( 5) Each can be installed in multiple stages as an independent water tank part, and the refrigerator (5) is placed at the bottom and the water tank part
(1) The water tank section (1) and the water temperature adjustment chamber (3) may be installed at each stage with an interval such that fresh fish etc. can be taken out, and the cooling pipe (5a) from the refrigerator (5) Is the excess tank of the water tank section (1) of each stage
Piping is done in order in (2), and one refrigerator (5) is provided so that each has a cooling effect. The cooling pipe (5a) in each over-tank (2) changes the cooling temperature individually by each solenoid valve (5b) (each heater part (8) can be used together), and the water tank part of each stage The specified temperature in (1) can be set freely. Therefore, in this multi-tiered aquarium, because the aquarium of each stage independently circulates water,
There is no problem with fresh water at all, and the water temperature can be set arbitrarily in each water tank part, for example, the upper row is a water temperature of about 15 ° C for a general fish tank and the middle row is about 8 ° C for shrimp only It can be used as a water tank for the shellfish, and can be used as a water tank exclusively for shellfish by lowering the temperature to about 10 ° C. In addition, by attaching a panel plate at a place where dial operation or the like is performed by a magnet, it can be easily attached and detached, and the appearance can be aesthetically pleasing.

The aquarium of the present invention can be used not only for live fish but also for growing wasabi (12) as shown in FIG. 5. In the drawing, the aquarium is an independent aquarium. In this case, instead of seawater or fresh water, zeolite and coral sand are placed in the water tank (1) to make wasabi soil, and the water passage (4a) of the partition plate (4) is at the lower end. Located in
It is necessary to absorb excess purified water at the lower part to maintain the water temperature and then to discharge the purified water into the water tank part (1) again from the water discharge pipe (11).

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to minimize the volume of the entire aquarium facility by performing an excess at the rear portion of the rear surface of the aquarium, and to provide a circulation path for purifying water. Since it is simple, it is possible to set multiple water tanks that can set water quality and water temperature in multiple stages with one refrigerator, which was not possible with conventional water tanks.
It can be put in each aquarium depending on the type of shrimp, etc. Furthermore, since each stage of the aquarium is independent, it has a great effect that it can be done for each individual aquarium in case of trouble or maintenance. Is. Also, in terms of cost, it is 3
