Abstract
An aquarium pump includes an air-delivery silencer connected with an air-pumping device encased in two covers mounted on a base portion having a silencing box provided with a plurality of sinuous air passages in the box for reducing a sound transmission speed and pressure of sound wave caused by the operating pump for greatly reducing its noise, and a metal plate embedded in a bottom plate formed in the base portion having a plurality of spring-like cushioning supporting legs secured under the bottom plate for further reducing vibrations caused by the operating pump for preventing noise pollution from an aquarium pump.
Claims4
In an aquarium pump having:
- a base portion having a bottom plate portion formed on a bottom of the base portion and a plurality of cushioning supporting legs secured under said bottom plate portion;
- an air-pumping means secured with an air-delivery silencer encased in an inner cover mounted on an inner extension formed on said bottom plate portion;
- an outer cover mounted on an outer extension circumferentially formed on a side edge portion of said bottom plate portion for shielding the inner cover already encasing the air-pumping means and said silencer in the inner cover;
- the improvement which comprises:
- said air-delivery silencer including:
- a main duct mounted with and fluidically communicated with the air-pumping means, a silencing box formed by combining a primary silencing box portion enlarged from the main duct and a secondary silencing box portion combinably secured with the primary silencing box portion by a packing plate partitioned between the two box portions, two air-discharge tubes connected with the secondary silencing box portion for delivering pumped air outwardly;
- said two silencing box portions respectively formed with a plurality of sinuous air passages therein each said sinuous air passage defined by two opposite corrugated side walls within a casing of each said box portion for reducing transmission speed and pressure of sound waves exerting from an operating air-pumping means for reducing noise pollution.
