Description

Purification Management System for Fish Tanks The present invention relates to a management system for a filtration device for an aquarium, and more specifically, to a management system for a filtration device for an aquarium that can effectively manage the aquarium by receiving real-time notification of changes in the water quality of rearing water stored in the aquarium from a remote location to devise urgent countermeasures, as well as purifying toxic secretions resulting from the growth of rearing ornamental fish through nitrification, while supplying nitrates produced by nitrification as nutrients for ornamental plants. As IT technology advances, the Internet of Things (IoT), a technology or environment in which sensors are attached to objects to exchange data over the internet in real time, is being applied in various fields. The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to a new dimension of environment where everything is connected via the Internet without constraints of time, place, or objects. It describes an environment where every object is assigned an Internet address, and individual information is shared and communicated via the Internet using mobile devices. Accordingly, IoT technology can obtain big data regarding various objects, store it in the cloud, and then analyze and utilize it using artificial intelligence. IoT technology is primarily applied to homes, allowing objects such as door locks, gas sensors, fire sensors, and boilers to be connected to the Internet and operated remotely. Meanwhile, aquariums are used at home to raise ornamental fish such as goldfish and tropical fish. Since the water in the aquarium is easily contaminated by fish waste and secretions, it is purified through a filtration system. When ornamental fish are raised in an aquarium, leftover food scraps or excrement accumulate on the bottom after a certain period of time. During the process of decomposition by bacteria, toxic substances such as ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate dissolve into the water, causing the fish to become stressed or die from poisoning. Korean Registered Patent No. 10-2381340 (Registration Date: March 28, 2022) comprises: a chamber installed inside a water tank and having a plurality of water passage holes formed to allow water to pass between the inside and the outside; a filter material installed on the outer surface of the chamber to purify water flowing into the chamber through the water passage holes; an air transfer pipe installed to transfer air into the chamber; a water flow forming tank installed on the lower side of the chamber, in which air transferred through the air transfer pipe is discharged inside to generate bubbles, and as the bubbles rise, water flow is introduced into the chamber through a water flow inlet formed on the side; a bubble buoyancy pipe connected to the upper side of the water flow forming tank to discharge bubbles inside the tank to the upper side of the chamber; and a mounting bracket mounted on the upper part of the chamber to support the chamber in the water tank, wherein the water flow forming tank is formed in a cylindrical shape with the upper part being wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, and a plurality of at regular intervals along the circumference at the bottom A filtration device for a water tank is disclosed, comprising a body through which a water flow inlet is formed, and a cylindrical bubble generating drum installed upright inside the body, having a plurality of bubble generating holes formed on its upper end surface so that air is introduced into the interior through the air transfer pipe and bubbles are formed as the interior air is discharged. However, conventional filtration devices for aquariums as described above utilize bubbles to create a water flow in the rearing water and purify foreign substances contained in the flow through filter media; however, purification through such filter media has limitations in removing toxic substances such as ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate dissolved in the rearing water, and there is a serious problem in that ornamental fish die if unfiltered toxic substances dissolve above a certain concentration. Meanwhile, unexpected and sudden changes in the condition of an aquarium can pose a fatal risk to ornamental fish. In such cases, it is necessary to detect the risk factors as quickly as possible and eliminate them; however, there is a problem in that this cannot be resolved if the manager overseeing the aquarium is absent or located in a remote area.
