Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
       [0001]    I. Field of the Invention 
         [0002]    The present invention relates to a decoration, particular to a battery water circulation decoration. 
         [0003]    II. Description of the Prior Art 
         [0004]    Along the rising of the living standards, the decoration in home and public place has gradually gained attention. In particular, the decoration with running water such as bonsai, fountain or aquarium has become very popular and occupies a major position among the decorations. The decoration with running water usually works with an AC (alternating current) water pump. The AC water pump is, in particular, indispensable to the aquarium, which contains fishes and shrimps to provide visual entertainment. However, the feces of the fishes and shrimps would pollute the water in the aquarium and the polluted water would consequently endanger their survival in the aquarium. Therefore, the aquarium is always equipped with a filtration device so as to keep the water clean enough to keep the fishes and shrimps alive. 
         [0005]    However, it is quite common for such decoration of the prior art as the aquarium, conduit to utilize an AC water pump for cleaning the water. And, the conducting wire of the AC water pump exposed in the water would endanger the life of creatures in the water and the user. The conducting wire is also exposed on the aquarium and spoils the appearance of the aquarium. Specifically, taking the aquarium or conduit  70  per  FIG. 6  as the example, the filtration device  71  is placed in the receptacle  72  where is full of water. Once the, conducting wire  711  of the filtration device  71  leaks the electricity, it would cause death to the creatures in the water. Besides, the conducting wire  711  is exposed on the aquarium and can be touched by anyone. Once it leaks electricity, it would endanger the life of anyone who touches it. In addition, the conducting wire  711  exposed on the aquarium is an eyesore that spoils the appearance of the aquarium. 
         [0006]    Another aquarium or conduit  80  is shown in  FIG. 7 , wherein the filtration device  81 , which is placed, outside of the receptacle  82 , absorbs and drains the water in the receptacle  82  via a siphon  811  and a drain  812 . The siphon  811  and drain  812  are also eyesore s that spoil the appearance of the aquarium. The conducting wire  813  connecting to the filtration device  81 , which is placed right beside the receptacle  82 , is exposed on the aquarium and can be touched by anyone. Under certain circumstances, it would leak the electricity to endanger the life of anyone who touches it. Furthermore, the drain  812  may drop out of the aquarium and fails the circulation and filtration of water. Under the circumstances, the creatures in the aquarium may die due to polluted water and the table or floor in the house may get wet. The drawbacks disadvantage not only the creatures in the aquarium but also the user. 
         [0007]    The aquarium or conduit  90  per  FIG. 8  is similar to the aquarium or conduit  80  in terms of structure, except the filtration  91  is hooked on the sidewall of the receptacle  92  via a hook structure  911 . The siphon  912  exposed on the aquarium remains an eyesore that spoils the appearance of the aquarium. 
         [0008]    Therefore, providing a decoration to the aquarium that avoids the foregoing drawbacks is a pressing technical issue to be solved.

     DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT 
       [0035]    Further structure, installation, and desirable features of the present invention will be better understood from the detailed description and drawings that follow, in which various embodiments of the disclosed invention are illustrated by way of example. 
         [0036]    The battery water circulation decoration  10  of the present invention is a device for the circulation and filtration of water that comprises a receptacle  20  to load the water and a pumping mechanism that comprises a filtration device  30  and a drive mechanism  40  so as to filtrate the water while pumping. The drive mechanism  40  connects to the battery  50  or solar battery  51  ( FIGS. 2 and 5 ), the battery water circulation decoration  10  of the present invention thus needs no traditional AC ( alternating current) drive mechanism with a conducting wire. Under the circumstances, the present invention that has no conducting wire in the chamber  21  of the receptacle  20  is free of the danger of electric leakage in the water and can assure the safety in use. Furthermore, the present invention has no conducting wire exposed on the aquarium to spoil the appearance of the aquarium. 
         [0037]    Wherein the filtration device  30  and the drive mechanism  40  are installed in and outside the chamber  21  of the receptacle  20 . The drive mechanism  40  in this embodiment comprises the electric machinery  41  and cylinder-shaped magnet  42  fixed on the output shaft of the electric machinery. 
         [0038]    The receptacle  20  in this embodiment is transparent and a right circular cylinder; however, it may be of any cuboids or other shapes, i.e. a rectangular box. The installation base may be of any cubic structure, however, it is a cylinder  24  in this embodiment that is raised from the bottom wall  22  of the receptacle  20 . Under certain circumstances, the cylinder  24  can be raised from the sidewall  23  to the bottom wall  22  or to the center of the chamber  21 . The preferred embodiment for the cylinder  24  is a cone-shaped cylinder narrowing to the top from the bottom and lies on the bottom wall  22 . 
         [0039]    An installation surface  241  is horizontally installed on the top of the cylinder  24  and a ladder hole  242  inside the cylinder: the filtration device  30  is erected on the installation surface  241  and the electric machinery  41  and the cylinder-shaped magnet  42  are embedded in the ladder hole  242  from the bottom to the top. The electric machinery  41  is powered by the battery  50  via a conducting wire  411  ( FIG. 2 ). 
         [0040]    The magnet rotor impellor  60 , which is a moving element of magnetism and may be replaced by other element such as magnetic membrane, is hitched to the top of the cylinder  24  and rotates to drain the water. 
         [0041]    As shown in  FIG. 1 and 2  that the filtration device  30  that is erected on the installation surface  241  comprises a cylinder-shaped housing  31 , a filtration material  32  accommodated in the housing and a diversion device  33 , which seals the bottom of the housing  31  to enclose the filtration material  32  inside the housing  31 . The magnet rotor impellor  60  is installed in the diversion device  33 . The housing  31  has an absorbent mouth on the sidewall  311  that penetrates the chamber  21  of the receptacle  20  to absorb the water. A channel  321  vertically penetrates into the filtration material  32 . The cylinder-shaped diversion device  33  comprises a nozzle  3321 , which juts out from the center of top wall  332  of the lumen  331 , and a porthole, which is on the bottom to sleeve the magnet rotor impellor  60 . The sidewalls  311 ,  333  of the housing  31  and the diversion device  30  have overflow holes  3112 ,  3331  horizontally installed or the drainpipe  34  connected to. Movement of the magnet rotor impellor  60  or magnetic membrane (driven by the intermittent magnetic absorption to absorb/drain the water) drains the water in the lumen  331  of the diversion device from the overflow holes  3112 ,  3331  or the drainpipe  34 . 
         [0042]    The drive mechanism  40  connects to the battery  50 , which can be installed in any place that is close to the drive mechanism  40 . In this embodiment, the bottom wall  22  of the receptacle  20  bulges toward the chamber to form a box  221  for embedding the battery  50  that powers the electric machinery  41 . 
         [0043]    To use the battery water circulation decoration  10  of the present invention for the circulation and filtration of water, just place the battery  50  inside so as to power the electric machinery  41 , wherein the magnet  42  drives the magnet rotor impellor  60  to rotate so as to absorb the water into the chamber  21  of the receptacle  20  via the absorbent mouth  3321  on the housing  31 . The water absorbed into the chamber  21  would be filtrated while passing through the channel  321  of the filtration material  32 . The filtrated water would be guided via the nozzle  3321  into the diversion chamber where it would be drained via the overflow holes  3112 ,  3331  or a drainpipe  34 . The water in the chamber  21  of the receptacle  20  is thus filtrated in circulation. 
         [0044]    Furthermore, a lighting element  29  can be installed inside the box  221  on the bottom wall  22  of the receptacle  20 , and is powered by the battery  50  or solar battery  51  via a conducting wire  52 . 
         [0045]    As shown in  FIG. 1 and 3 , a decoration structure  28 , which comprises a decoration element  281  that is driven to sway by the fluidity, is installed in the receptacle  20  so as to embellish the battery water circulation accessory  10 . In this embodiment, the decoration element  281  is a tree-like holder with several pinwheels. The pinwheels are hanged at the end of a duct  282 . The water drained from the diversion device  34  passes through the ducts  282  to form the flows that drive the pinwheels to sway. The flow rate coming from the duct dominates the movement speed of the decoration element. To adjust the movement speed of the decoration element, it only needs to change the caliber of the duct that controls the flow rate. 
         [0046]    As show in  FIG. 1 and 4  that the decoration structure is a bonsai  27  that includes the water plants  271 . To maintain the growth of the water plants, the duct  272  is connected to the diversion device  34  so as to irrigate the water plants with water drained from the diversion device  34 . The flow rate coming from the duct is dominated by the caliber of the duct. To control the flow rate for irrigation, it only needs to change the caliber of the duct. 
         [0047]    The receptacle  20  may also have the pervious laminated board that comprises holes or grid grooves. The preferred embodiment is to install the pervious laminated board between the absorbent mouth  3111  on the filtration device  30  and the overflow hole  3112 , and to install the interface  25 ,  26  connecting to the decoration element on the bottom wall  22  of the receptacle  20 . 
         [0048]    Besides, the battery  50  and solar battery  51  can be used simultaneously or alternately. Where the solar battery  51  stops supplying the power for absorbing the light energy, the battery  50  works instead. As shown in  FIGS. 1 and 5  that the solar battery  51  is installed around the bottom of the receptacle  20  so as to be exposed to the sun light for absorbing the solar energy that can be transferred into the electric power. The electric power is transmitted to the electric machinery  41  to drive the filtration device  30  for the circulation and filtration of water. Both of the solar battery  51  and the battery  50  share the same principle to supply the electric power. Therefore, the power supply by the solar battery  51  hereby will not go into details. To fix the solar battery  51  around the bottom of the receptacle  20 , the bottom wall  22  of the receptacle  20  bulges in the center to form a box  221  so as to embed the fitting of the solar battery  51  that locks the solar battery in a fix position. 
         [0049]    According to the foregoing description, the drive mechanism  40  is removed of the traditional conducting wire for AC electric power supply. Under the circumstances, the present invention that has no conducting wire in the chamber  21  of the receptacle  20  is free of the danger of electric leakage in the water and can assure the safety in use. Furthermore, no exposed conducting wire would spoil the appearance of the present invention. 
         [0050]    New characteristics and advantages of the present invention covered by this document have been set forth in the foregoing description. Understanding is sought however, that the drawings are for the purpose of illustration only and not intended to be a definition of the limits of the present invention. Changes in methods, shapes, structures or devices may be made in details without exceeding the scope of the invention by those who are skilled and knowledgeable in the field. 
         [0051]    To sum up, in view no conducting wire in the chamber of the receptacle to cause electric leakage and no exposed conducting wire to spoil the appearance, the “battery water circulation decoration” of the present invention assures the safety in use and a tidy appearance to the decoration itself and the object to be decorated so as to possess the “practicability” and the “advancement” of the industry. Furthermore, in view the structure of the present invention has never been disclosed in any publication or for any application, the present invention conforms to the requirements of the new utility model. This document is, therefore, submitted for applying the patent registration pursuant to the Patent Act.
