Description

Aquarium box filter {BOX FILTER FOR AQUARIUM}

The present invention relates to a box filter for an aquarium, and more particularly, a box filter for an aquarium capable of improving space utilization and water purification efficiency by integrating a filter body equipped with a sponge filter and an auxiliary filter housing for water purification in an aquarium is about

In general, in order to decorate the interior of public facilities such as homes, offices, schools, or hospitals in an environmentally friendly manner, an aquarium for cultivating various kinds of fish is installed.

However, as the fish raised in the artificial space live in a limited space, they die easily if they are not properly cleaned or neglected due to insufficient oxygen concentration and contaminants such as feed residues and fish excrement.

Therefore, in order to filter water in an aquarium, filtration and water purification devices of various configurations are used.

The most commonly used filtration water purifying device has a supply pipe and a discharge pipe installed at the upper and lower parts of the open top and bottom, respectively, and a sponge, elvan and activated carbon are inserted into the inside of the cylinder as a filter to form a water purification filter, or using cotton and sand. It is provided in various configurations, such as, and most of the filtering and water purification devices have to be cleaned or replaced periodically (several days to several tens of days) because the filter is contaminated by foreign substances after a long time of use.

Recently, a filtration water purification device that releases suspended matter generated from long-term use using foam and supplies a large amount of active oxygen to activate the reproduction of microorganisms using a carrier to purify water quality has been disclosed in Korean Patent Publication No. 10-0714227 has been registered as

However, the above-described patent-registered filtration and water purification apparatus installs a bubble generating unit in which a foreign material outlet is installed on the upper part of the filter box in which the filtered water purification material is accommodated, and inside the bubble generating unit, a water supply pipe that supplies water from the top to the bottom is piped, , bubbles are generated while passing through the hole formed at the top of the bubble generating unit, allowing floating substances to be discharged to the foreign material outlet, and the water is filtered through the hole formed at the top of the bubble generating unit by falling onto the filtration material contained in the filter box. will be.

However, in the case of the above-mentioned conventional filtration and water purification device, the fluidity of the filtration material contained in the filter box is low, so when used for a long time, the filtration materials are agglomerated by the floating matter remaining in the water, and thus the water cannot be discharged and it overflows through the foreign substance outlet. There was a concern such as being discharged outside.

In addition, in the case of the above-mentioned filtration water purification device, when storing fish species such as mackerel and mullet with many scales, the scales interfere with the flow of water between the filtration materials in the filtration tank, and the above-mentioned water overflow occurs in a short time, so the use of the filtration water system is difficult. There were problems such as impossible.

In addition, the conventional aquarium filtration device installs a sponge filter paper for water purification in the aquarium and separately installs a box filter with a filter medium for water quality stabilization, which takes up a lot of space in the aquarium, making it difficult to install other necessary items other than the filter. There was a problem in that it was difficult and the sponge filter and the box filter were taken out respectively during cleaning, giving inconvenience to the user.
