[0025] The working principle of the device for taking water from the air in this embodiment is as follows: after the moisture absorption treatment airflow passes through the second airflow filter 152, it enters the moisture absorption treatment zone of the dehumidification runner 14, and the water vapor in the moisture absorption treatment airflow is absorbed into the moisture absorbent. The regeneration water airflow is filtered by the first airflow filter 151, enters the condenser 11, uses condensation heat for preheating, and then enters the first air inlet of the first heat exchanger 16 for preheating, and then passes through the solar air collector. Heater 1, raises the temperature of the regeneration water extraction air to more than 40°C higher than the ambient temperature, and then passes through the dehumidification rotor 14 to contact the moisture absorbent in the dehumidification rotor 14, increasing the moisture in the regeneration water extraction air stream, so that The moisture content of the regenerated water increases, forming a high temperature and high humidity air stream. After the high-temperature and high-humidity air flow leaves the dehumidification rotor 14, it first passes through the first heat exchanger 16 to exchange heat with the regenerated water flow preheated by condensation heat for cooling, and then enters the second heat exchanger 17 The air from the evaporator 10 is cooled by heat exchange, so that the temperature of the regeneration water extraction air drops to close to the dew point temperature, and then the regeneration water extraction air is sent to the evaporator 10 to cool below the dew point temperature, and the moisture in the regeneration water extraction air is precipitated. The water collector 13 is used to collect the separated water. The air with a very low temperature after the water is taken is sent to the second heat exchanger 17 to pre-cool the air that has not taken water to recover this part of the cold. Among them, the components through which the moisture absorption treatment airflow and the regeneration water extraction airflow pass are connected by air ducts. The solar photovoltaic power generation unit 2 uses the solar panel 5 to convert solar energy into electric energy. The battery 7 can store electric energy. The solar power controller 6 can control the charging and discharging of the battery 7 to protect the battery 7, and the inverter 8 can convert the solar panel 5 The generated direct current is converted to alternating current. Whether the inverter 8 is connected to the circuit 104 depends on the power supply form of the compression refrigeration device, the fan and the dehumidification rotor motor. If it is a DC power supply, it is not connected, and if it is an AC power supply, it is connected.
[0026] In this embodiment, after the regenerated air exchanges moisture content with the ambient air through the dehumidification rotor 14, its moisture content is many times higher than that of the ambient air, so that it can also be used in deserts and other environments with low air humidity. It can work normally, and the water extraction efficiency has been greatly improved. At the same time, the use of solar air collectors as the heat source for runner regeneration reduces system consumption. Moreover, because solar photovoltaic cells are used as the power source of the compression refrigeration device, the fan, and the dehumidification rotor motor, no other power generation devices and access to the grid are required, which reduces the energy consumption of the entire system. There is no need to carry fuel, so it is suitable for field work. At the same time, because the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger are used to effectively recover part of the heat and cold, the system is more efficient. The rotating wheel keeps rotating to ensure that the system can continuously draw water when the sun is on.
