Water collecting device

Abstract

This invention discloses a water collection device, comprising a device body, a cover inclinedly disposed on the device body, an adsorption body, and a collection unit. The top of the device body has an opening, and at least one side plate of the device body has multiple air holes. The cover is used to cover the opening. The cover is a light-transmitting structure, having a convex surface facing inwards towards the device body, and the convex surface defines a focusing area. The adsorption body is positioned corresponding to the focusing area. The adsorption body is located inside and abuts against the multiple air holes, and can be exposed to the external environment through the multiple air holes to adsorb water vapor. The adsorption body is made of a metal-organic framework material. A confluence channel is formed between at least another side plate of the device body and the adsorption body. The collection unit is connected to the confluence channel.
