Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a bubble removing apparatus for aquarium living,

The present invention relates to a micro bubble removing apparatus for an aquarium water, and more particularly, to a micro bubble removing apparatus for an aquarium, which comprises a bubble station disposed at one side of an aquarium aquarium and capable of supplying microbubbles to the aquarium fish breeding space intermittently. Removing device.

Recently, with the development of industrial society, there are more and more people who want to enjoy life in the sea while enjoying fish swimming freely in fresh water or the sea as being economically more abundant than the past. Also, the aquarium is very popular in that modern people can easily see underwater creatures that are not easy to meet in nature.

The world's first aquarium is the 'Fish House' of the London Zoo, which opened in 1853. In Korea, the first marine aquarium was opened in Yongdusan Park in Busan in 1977. The Busan Aquarium in Busan is famous for its COEX Aquarium in Seoul-dong, Seoul and the longest underwater tunnel in Korea. Is the largest aquarium in the world.

An aquarium is a function that collects, breeds, displays and exhibits animals living in water or on the water. It puts animals and aquatic plants such as fish and shellfish, invertebrates, amphibians, marine mammals and reptiles in transparent water tanks such as glass and plastic Will be released. However, bringing the natural water environment to the land and raising the fish is a complex and careful system. Since fish in aquariums are cultivated in artificially controlled reservoirs in a limited space on the land, the aquatic environment can not maintain homeostasis by itself, and therefore, continuous management such as filtration and water quality management is necessary.

The quality of water management is based on the following criteria: Dissolved Oxygen (DO), pH (pH), general hardness (GH) indicating salinity of magnesium and calcium ions, salinity, It is to keep the trace elements at a certain concentration and to make breeding water suitable for fish growth. The most important of these is maintenance of dissolved oxygen concentration.

Oxygen is an important substance required for animal respiration, and the dissolved oxygen dissolved in water depends on dissolved substances such as water temperature and salt. The amount of oxygen contained in the water is only about one-tenth of the amount of oxygen in the air and is much smaller than the total air of water, so aquatic organisms are in a relatively unfavorable condition compared with the land animals. Therefore, in aquarium management, there is always a need to pay attention to the shortage of dissolved oxygen, which is often the case when oxygen is excessively aerated.

Recently, a method has been developed to instantaneously increase the dissolved oxygen in a limited space in order to maximize the aquaculture efficiency in the onshore farm of fish. That is, in order to increase the dissolution of oxygen, a method of increasing the contact surface between the gas and the water surface by introducing the ultrasensitive bubbles into the water tank is used. At this time, the micro bubbles also help to remove floating matters in the breeding water such as protein skimmer . In addition, the bubbles into the breeding water may play a role of mixing the water in the aquarium.

 However, this excessive oxygen aeration can cause hyperoxia in fish. And oxygen state in the fish body metabolism or respiratory action, but enough oxygen to consume enough oxygen remains in the body of surplus oxygen, fish blood vessels, breezes, and other tissues to form bubbles, metabolism Lt; / RTI > Many bubbles are formed in the fish body to prevent the normal flow of the blood vessels in the blood vessels, or they may be formed in the boots and disturb swimming activity. In addition, direct pressure can be applied to the eye, brain, and equilibrium, resulting in abnormal equilibrium and ultimately leading to death. Oxygenosis is caused by microbubbles in breeding water caused by excessive aeration, which is also called 'gas disease'.

In the case of fish caught in gas bottles, air bubbles are formed in the fins and eyeballs, and part of the body bulge is observed in some places. These symptoms are not found in natural ecological conditions, but are found in ornamental fish tanks and transport tanks that supply air for a long period of time with an excessive amount of bubbles. In aquaculture farms where aquariums or fish are subjected to circulation filtration in ultra-dense formations in confined and enclosed aquariums, adequate oxygen supply between these low dissolved oxygen and excess aeration is difficult.

In the case of an aquarium for the purpose of exhibiting aquatic organisms, the fine bubbles increase the turbidity of the water and reduce the display effect. Particularly, after the aeration, the fine bubbles that can not be quickly removed are left in the breeding water, blurring the visual field, and attaching to the water plants or underwater formations to form larger air bubbles, thereby reducing the beauty of the exhibition. Therefore, it is necessary to study to maintain stable fish breeding environment by solving these problems.

Korean Patent No. 10-0941191 discloses that a partition net is laid horizontally in the aquaculture tank and divided into upper and lower halves so that the upper portion is a fish chamber and the lower portion is a discharge chamber, And the ultrahigh-intensity spray gun is again connected to the purifier through a pipe to form a device. Ultrafine spray guns are generated in the ultra-high intensity spray gun to discharge the water into the aquaculture water, Which is capable of separating suspended matter and germs while oxidizing and decomposing ammonia nitrogen to saturate the water, thereby maintaining good water quality. Korean Patent Laid-Open No. 10-2009-0051685 discloses at least one storage tank for containing and nurturing a marine creature in pre-stored fluid; And at least one micro-bubble generator connected to the reservoir to float foreign matter contained in the fluid by flowing ultrafine gravity bubbles into the reservoir and to overflow the fluid and the foreign matter, Further comprising a purifier for introducing the fluid and the foreign substances overflowed from the micro bubble generator, and purifying the fluid and discharging the foreign substances to the outside, wherein the fluid flows in one direction due to the operation of the micro bubble generator, Wherein the reservoir, the micro-bubble generator, and the purifier form a circulation cycle to enable circulation of the fluid. Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 10-2016-0046107 discloses a micro nano bubble generating apparatus for an abalone breeding device including an air pump, a sensor connected to the air pump and measuring the dissolved oxygen concentration of each cell, . Korean Patent No. 10-0791778 discloses a method of circulating aquaculture water in an aquaculture tank and generating and discharging ultra-high-strength bubbles to improve the dissolved oxygen level to a saturated state to decompose the ammonia nitrogen, A method and apparatus for aquaculture fish which are separated and treated, circulated and reused the water having increased oxygen saturation rate in the water, only the minimum amount of the replenishing water is introduced, and the remaining feed and excrement are precipitated from the bottom of the aquarium Lt; / RTI > However, the above-mentioned invention aims at producing micro-bubbles for increasing dissolved oxygen in raising water. It is an object of the present invention to provide a bubble station in a side portion of an aquarium and to remove micro bubbles generated by a water- It differs from the designed aquarium breeding water micro bubble removing device in its composition and effect.

This design had difficulties in providing adequate oxygen between the low dissolved oxygen and excessive aeration in aquaculture farms where the aquarium or fish were subjected to circulation filtration in ultra-high density cultivation in restricted and closed water tanks. Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a fine bubble removing device that solves such problems and provides a stable fish breeding environment when raising the land fish.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention has an object to provide a bubble station in which a vertical partition wall is formed to have a floor and an outer wall of a certain area and accommodate aquatic organisms, And a water channel is formed in the upper part of the bubble station to supply water for breeding and a breeding channel connected to a breeding space of the aquarium is formed in a lower part of the bubble station.

The aquarium bubble eliminator of the present invention has an aeration to increase the dissolved oxygen in the breeding water, so that the breeding water having the excess micro bubbles removed is supplied to the fish, and the concentration of dissolved oxygen in the breeding water is appropriately adjusted , While preventing the fish from being exposed to excessive microbubbles and inhibiting metabolism, thereby preventing the occurrence of fish health abnormality or mass mortality due to oxygenosis or gas diseases, and allowing the fish to grow safely. Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with concrete examples.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a side sectional view showing an aquarium raising water micro bubble removing apparatus according to the present invention; FIG. The present invention includes an aquarium 100 having a floor and an outer wall of a predetermined area and capable of accommodating the water for breeding and a water inlet pipe 340 for supplying water to the inside of the aquarium 100, A breeding channel 130 connected to the breeding space 150 of the aquarium 100 is formed in the lower part of the bubble stations 110 and 120 and the bubble stations 110 and 120 formed in the bubble stations 110 and 120, The horizontal member 210 is installed inside the horizontal member 210 and the horizontal member 210 is provided with an openable and closable water gate 200 which is opened and closed according to the water level.

The aquarium 100 contains aquaria, fish tanks for display purposes, and aquaculture tanks for high-density or ultra-high-density aquaculture, containing aquatic life including breeding water and fish. The bubble stations 110 and 120 and the fish breeding space 150 are formed at one side of the inside of the aquarium 100 to form fine bubbles in which a large amount of internal space of the aquarium is formed, . In the aquarium, a large amount of micro bubbles are generated by the bubble generator during the dropping process or in order to increase the dissolved oxygen, and the bubbles thus formed are bundled together, and the bubbles come to the upper part of the breeding water and escape to the air. However, very small microbubbles help increase dissolved oxygen, but they do not get easily removed and remain in the water for a long time and require some time to be removed.

The aquarium breeding water micro bubble removing device of the present invention has a separate bubble station 110 and 120 separated from the breeding space 150 to provide a sufficient time for the micro bubble to be removed from the breeding water, So that excessively generated fine bubbles can be removed without consuming them.

2 is a side sectional view showing a bubble station of an aquarium breeding water micro bubble removing device of the present invention. The bubble station is divided into the upper bubble station 110 and the lower bubble station 120 by the transverse member 210 and the through holes formed in one surface of the transverse member 210 are opened or covered by the openable and closable water gate 200, The bubble station 110 and the lower bubble station 120 are connected or disconnected.

In the upper bubble station 110, an inflow pipe 340 is formed at the upper part to drop the breeding water or aeration by the bubble generator (not shown), and dissolved oxygen is increased in the breeding water. At this time, a large amount of fine bubbles are generated. Since the fine bubbles stay in the upper bubble station 110 until the breeding water is filled up to a certain height, the excess fine bubbles are allowed to be removed naturally before being exposed to the breeding space of the fish .

FIG. 3 is a side sectional view showing the operation principle of the bubble station of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a side sectional view showing the principle of opening and closing the water gate of the bubble station of the present invention. One end of the rope 230 is connected to one end of the openable type water gate 200 for isolating the upper bubble setter 110 from the lower bubble station 120. The other end of the rope 230 is connected to the buoy 220 When the water is raised to a certain level of the upper bubble station 110, the buoy 220 floats above the water surface to open the water gate 200. When the openable and closable water gate 200 is opened, the water held by the upper bubble station 120 is moved to the lower bubble station 120 by water pressure. At this time, the water falls into the aquarium 100 through the water inlet pipe 340 The micro bubble is removed from the state.

The upper bubble station 110 or the lower bubble station 120 may further include a bubble collector (not shown) to facilitate removal of the fine bubble. The bubble collecting device is composed of a material having a large surface area to which minute bubbles can be adhered, such as a mesh type fiber or a filter paper.

The lower bubble station 120 removes water from the upper bubble station 110 and the lower bubble station 120. The lower bubble station 120 removes water from the lower bubble station 120, The microbubbles can be removed again before the breeding water moves to the aquatic organism breeding space 150 through the path 130. The fine bubbles removed from the lower bubble station 120 are gathered at the lower part of the horizontal member 210 or the opening and closing type of the water gates 200 and then discharged upward when the water type openable and closable type water gates 200 are opened.

FIG. 5 is a photograph showing a state during installation and operation of the aquarium under the aquarium of the aquarium rearing water micro bubble removing device according to the present invention. In this way, the fine bubbles are difficult to flow into deep water by buoyancy in a narrow and deep bubble station. Therefore, the openable and closable water gate 200 has a sufficient time for the fine bubbles to fuse together for a predetermined period of time. In addition, fine bubbles can be left in the breeding water to increase the turbidity to blur the field of view, and it is possible to form larger bubbles by attaching to water plants and underwater sculptures, thereby preventing the aesthetic appearance from dropping.

The breeding water that has been transferred to the breeding space 150 through the breeding channel 130 has a high concentration of dissolved oxygen, but the microbubbles are removed and thus safe for aquatic life. In order to prevent aquatic organisms from entering the lower bubble station, netting (130) may be provided with netting, grate, and the like.

The breeding water moved to the breeding space 150 is discharged through the water drainage device 330 when the water level exceeds a predetermined level, and a certain level is maintained in the aquarium. In addition, when food debris or excrements are accumulated in the lower part of the aquarium, the water is drained through the drainage device at the lower part of the aquarium, and the drained water is regenerated through a protein skimmer, a filter, .

When the breeding water is supplied to the breeding space of aquatic organisms by the aquarium breeding water micro bubble removing device, breeding water is supplied intermittently according to the opening and closing of the opening and closing water gate 200. Such an intermittent breeding water supply can irregularly induce artificial waves or algae in a stagnant aquarium, thereby providing aquatic organisms with a more natural breeding environment and a positive exhibition effect can be expected .

The present invention relates to a method for preventing the growth of a fish which is not exposed to oxygenosis or gas illness caused by inhibition of metabolism by microbubbles remaining in the water by excess aeration, It can be applied to aquarium, high density aquaculture, or live fish transportation industry. Fine bubbles are left in breeding water, turbidity is increased to blur the field of view, attached to aquatic plants or underwater formations to form larger bubbles, It is possible to increase the display effect in the aquarium and to provide irregular artificial waves or algae in the aquarium which may be stagnated due to the supply of intermittent breeding water by the micro bubble removing device of the present invention , Aquatic organisms that are closer to nature Because it can contribute to the industrial development of the aquarium, including for the purpose of live fish exhibits we can expect a positive effect of the exhibition has industrial applicability.
