Description

Water tank divider of aqua phonics facility}

The present invention relates to a water tank partition device for aquaponics equipment, and more specifically, to form a space where fish can safely reside by forming separate spaces according to the size of the fish cultured in aquaponics. , relates to a tank partition device in aquaponics facilities that allows selective harvesting of only fish that have completed growth.

In general, aquaponics is a combination of acuaculture, meaning fish farming, and hydroponics, meaning hydroponic cultivation of plants. Fish excrement is used as nutrients for plants through a conversion process by microorganisms, and biological absorption by plants. It is a method of artificial plant cultivation in which naturally purified water is used for fish farming.

Aquaponics is a plant cultivation method that has recently been in the spotlight because it allows you to grow organic plants while cultivating fish and hydroponically growing plants at the same time in an eco-friendly way.

The above-mentioned aquaponics can cultivate plants organically while simultaneously farming fish and cultivating plants in an eco-friendly manner.

In addition, there is also an advantage as an ornamental in that plants such as flowers and fish such as ornamental fish can be viewed together.

Therefore, installing an aquaponics system in a home or office can greatly help improve the environment, so interest in this is increasing day by day.

As interest in aquaponics increases, many products and related technologies that implement it are being researched and introduced.

Among these technologies related to aquaponics, an example is a siphon unit and an aquaponics device using the same.

The siphon unit and the aquaponics device using the same disclose a technology in which the bell siphon operates even when the flow rate of the circulated water is low to control the discharge rate of the circulated water.

However, these siphon units and aquaponics devices using them make a lot of noise when water falls inside the tank when using a bell siphon, and the air inlet, filtering device, and pumping device must be operated by electricity, which reduces electricity consumption. There was also a big problem.

In particular, this problem becomes more apparent when used indoors. If you want to use it at home or in a laboratory, noise, power consumption, size, etc. are the typical things to consider, but when using a Belsiphone, noise inside the Belsiphone or from falling water can be a problem.

Additionally, if you want to raise various species of ornamental fish and need multiple small-sized tanks, it may not be easy to manage the water quality of each individual tank.

Since the aquaponics system is a tank with flower pots added, it can be expected that if multiple aquaponics systems are managed independently, there may be greater inconvenience than in the case of a regular tank.

On the other hand, if the aquarium is formed as a single space, not only can it not be managed according to the size of the fish, but there is a problem in that adult fish eat young fish depending on the type of fish.
