In order for it to be possible, a cold air source must come into contact with warmer air. at least one cold plate (6) having a surface, 25 - necessary for the condensation process to be carried out on the cold plate (6) at least one thermoelectric Peltier element configured to maintain the temperature plate (7), - energy required to keep the Peltier plate (7) at the desired temperature at least one power unit configured to provide (8), 30 4 - located on the tank (2) and the windshield washer fluid in case the tank (2) overfills. at least one valve (9) that stops the purchase and - located on the tank (2) and triggering the valve (9) when the tank is full, at least one that prevents excess water from entering the tank (2) and the tank (2) from overflowing It contains buoys (10). 5 In the system that is the subject of the invention, the reservoir (2) located in (1) protects against rain and humidity in the air. It is filled with the liquid obtained by condensation and has the following on it: more liquid intake with valve (10) without liquid overflow with float (9) It stops. 10 In the system in question (1), the channel (3) on the vehicle collects rainwater. It is used to collect rainwater and distribute it through a filter located on it. It conveys the water through the hose (4) to the tank (2). The gutter (3) is the tank (2) After filling and closing the valve (10), drain the excess liquid 15 It is used. In this way, the gutter (3) is used for both water collection and water drainage. It is used. The hose (4) in the system (1) of which the invention is located basically consists of the gutter (3) and the reservoir (2) It is located among them and also has 20 that allow condensation liquid to collect on it. It has a funnel (5). At the part where the hose (4) and the tank (2) are joined. a valve (10) to prevent more windshield washer fluid from filling into the reservoir (2). It is receiving. In the system subject to the invention, the funnel (5) in (1) removes the moisture from the air, cold plate (6) and 25 The condensate liquid that appears after being condensed with a Peltier plate (7) It transfers to the hose (4). Thermoelectric Peltier plate (7) on the funnel (5) maintained at the desired temperature and through contact with air, the moisture in the air... There is a cold plate (6) that will allow condensation to occur. 5 In the system in question (1), the cold plate (6) is struck by the moisture in the air. It is the element that causes condensation to form droplets. Cold plate (6) preferably made of materials with high thermal conductivity such as aluminum or copper. is selected. The cold plate (6) is the surface on which the hot air can strike. The energy required for it to stay is transmitted via a thermoelectric Peltier plate (7) 5 The energy required for the Peltier plate (7) is provided by 12V low voltage electricity. power unit (8) which obtains energy through the supply line is provided. A 12V low-voltage power supply line powers the vehicle's own electrical system. It is nourished by. In the system that is the subject of the invention, the float (9) located in (1) opens the valve when the tank (2) is full. It is configured to close by providing information. The invention describes a valve. (10) is a check valve and receives information from the float (9) and from the hose (4) filling the liquid intake into the tank (2) and preventing the tank (2) from overflowing It prevents. 15 In the system that is the subject of the invention, (1) the tank (2) both rainwater and moisture in the air It is self-filling with the liquid obtained by condensation. For this purpose, rainwater collected by the gutter (3) on the vehicle goes into the tank (2) It is sent via hose (4). At the same time, a cold 20 depending on the air. The cold plate (6) with a surface causes the moisture in the air to condense. In order for this process to be continuous, the cold plate (6) is connected to the Peltier plate (7) as desired. kept at temperature and the energy required for the Peltier plate (7) is from the power unit (8) is provided. Condensate liquid obtained with cold plate (6) is passed through funnel (5) It is collected and transferred to the hose (4) and from there to the tank (2). Thus, the tank's 25 It is filled with the fluid to be used for windshield washer fluid. At the same time... After it was decided that the tank (2) was full with the buoy (9), the tank (2) Liquid intake is terminated by valve (10). Thanks to the system (1) which is the subject of the invention, the windshield washer fluid of the vehicle is rainwater and 30 It ensures that it is obtained from the condensate liquid and stored in the tank (2). 6 This way, the driver doesn't need to spend time filling the tank. The tank fills itself automatically without needing to be refilled, providing convenience for the user. is being created. Based on these fundamental concepts, the invention topic is "A Windshield Washer Fluid Storage System 5". It is possible to develop a wide variety of applications related to (1)”, and the invention is here It cannot be limited to the examples given; it is essentially as stated in the claims.
