Detailed Implementation

[0041] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention. The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.

[0042] Please see Figures 1-4 In one embodiment of this application, a water purification device with carbon fixation effect includes a frame 1, a controller 2, a flocculant tank 3, and a purified water tank. The purified water tank is mounted on the frame 1, and the flocculant tank 3 is mounted on the purified water tank and the two are connected. The purified water tank is provided with an inlet pipe 5 and an outlet pipe 6. The controller 2 is mounted on the frame 1. The water purification device further includes:

[0043] A stirring shaft 14 is movably mounted in the purification box 4, and a through groove 15 is formed on the stirring shaft 14;

[0044] The drive wheels 16 are in a set and are all movably mounted on the purification box 4. One of the drive wheels 16 is sleeved on the outer wall of the stirring shaft 14 and slides in cooperation with the through groove 15.

[0045] The power element is installed on the purification box 4 and its output end is connected to another drive wheel 16. Adjacent drive wheels 16 are connected by a belt.

[0046] The mixing components, numbering several sets and all arranged in a ring around the mixing shaft 14, are used to mix seawater and flocculant; and

[0047] An adjustment component is located between the water inlet pipe 5 and the stirring shaft 14, and is used to adjust the position of the stirring shaft 14 on the purification box 4.

[0048] It should be noted that the power element can be a stepper motor 18 or a servo motor. In this embodiment, the power element is preferably a stepper motor 18. The stepper motor 18 is mounted on the purification box 4 and its output end is connected to another transmission wheel 16. The specific model parameters of the stepper motor 18 can be selected according to the actual situation and are not specifically limited here.

[0049] In this embodiment, each group of stirring components includes, by way of example:

[0050] The stirring blade 20 is disposed on the outer wall of the stirring shaft 14;

[0051] The movable seat 22 is movably set within the guide rail formed on the inner wall of the purification box 4;

[0052] A sliding seat 21 is movably mounted on the stirring blade 20 and the two are elastically connected. The sliding seat 21 is movably connected to the movable seat 22 via a connecting rod 24.

[0053] An auxiliary structure is provided on the stirring blade 20. When the sliding seat 21 moves to the expected position, the auxiliary structure is controlled to adjust the contact area between the stirring blade 20 and the seawater.

[0054] In practical applications, seawater is fed into the purification tank 4 through the inlet. The controller 2 controls the flocculant tank 3 to add flocculant to the seawater. At the same time, the stepper motor 18 is energized and rotated, driving the stirring shaft 14 to rotate, which in turn drives the stirring blade 20 to rotate. During this process, by controlling the operation of the adjustment component, the stirring shaft 14 can be driven to reciprocate vertically while rotating, thereby driving the stirring blade 20 to reciprocate, achieving thorough mixing of seawater and flocculant at different locations. At the same time, the connecting rod 24 can be used to drive the sliding seat 21 to reciprocate along the stirring blade 20, further improving the mixing and purification effect of seawater.

[0055] Please see Figures 1-4 As another preferred embodiment of this application, a friction-reducing component is provided between the movable seat 22 and the guide rail to reduce the frictional resistance between the guide rail and the movable seat 22.

[0056] Non-limiting, the drag-reducing component can be a ball or a roller 23. In this embodiment, the drag-reducing component is preferably a roller 23. The roller 23 is movably mounted on the movable seat 22 and slides with the guide rail. The specific model parameters of the roller 23 can be optimally selected according to the actual situation, and are not specifically limited here.

[0057] In this embodiment, the auxiliary structure includes, for example:

[0058] Air cylinder 26 is installed on stirring blade 20;

[0059] The contact seat 25 is movably mounted on the stirring blade 20 and located on the moving path of the sliding seat 21. The contact seat 25 is connected to the movable end of the first air cylinder 26.

[0060] Auxiliary blades 27, numbered in a group and symmetrically arranged relative to the stirring blades 20, each auxiliary blade 27 having one end hinged to the stirring blade 20, and a torsion spring provided at the hinge point; and

[0061] The second air cylinder 28 is movably connected between the stirring blade 20 and the auxiliary blade 27, and the second air cylinder 28 is connected to the first air cylinder 26.

[0062] During the rotation of the stirring shaft 14, stirring blade 20, and movable seat 22 within the purification tank 4, the roller 23 reduces the frictional resistance between the movable seat 22 and the guide rail. Furthermore, while the stirring shaft 14 and stirring blade 20 reciprocate up and down via the adjusting assembly, the connecting rod 24 causes the sliding seat 21 to move and meet the contact seat 25, thus moving the contact seat 25 and controlling the first air cylinder 26 to contract. The gas in the first air cylinder 26 is squeezed into the second air cylinder 28, thereby controlling the second air cylinder 28 to extend, causing the auxiliary blade 27 to rotate along its hinge, thus enabling the deployment of the auxiliary blade 27 and improving the mixing effect between the flocculant and seawater.

[0063] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 4 In another preferred embodiment of this application, the adjustment component includes:

[0064] Rotating blade 7 is movable within the inlet pipe 5;

[0065] Turntable 8 is movably mounted on inlet pipe 5 and coaxially connected to impeller 7; and

[0066] The transmission unit is located between the turntable 8 and the stirring shaft 14. When the turntable 8 moves, the transmission unit controls the stirring shaft 14 to move synchronously.

[0067] In one specific embodiment, the transmission unit includes:

[0068] The slider 10 is movably set in the guide groove 9 formed on the turntable 8;

[0069] The movable seat 12 is movably mounted on the purification box 4 and the two are elastically connected. The movable seat 12 is connected to the slider 10 via a push rod 11.

[0070] The drive arm 13 is movably connected between the movable seat 12 and the stirring shaft 14.

[0071] In another specific embodiment, a first filter screen 19 is provided in the water inlet pipe 5, and a second filter screen 17 is provided in the purification box 4 on one side of the stirring shaft 14.

[0072] It should be noted that this embodiment is not limited to the adjustment components described above for adjusting the position of the stirring shaft 14. A linear motor or electric cylinder can also be used instead, which will not be listed here.

[0073] During the process of inputting seawater into the inlet pipe 5 and discharging it into the purification tank 4, the seawater collides with the rotating blade 7, causing the blade 7 to rotate. This, in turn, causes the turntable 8 to rotate synchronously. Through the sliding cooperation between the guide groove 9 and the slider 10, the push rod 11 drives the moving seat 12 to reciprocate horizontally. Under the action of the drive arm 13, the stirring shaft 14 rotates while reciprocating vertically, thus adjusting the position of the stirring blade 20. By setting up a first filter screen 19 and a second filter screen 17, the seawater can be filtered twice. Finally, the purified seawater is discharged from the drain pipe 6.

[0074] How this application works:

[0075] During the process of inputting seawater into the inlet pipe 5 and discharging it into the purification tank 4, the seawater collides with the rotating blade 7, causing the rotating blade 7 to rotate, which in turn causes the turntable 8 to rotate synchronously. Under the sliding cooperation between the guide groove 9 and the slider 10, the push rod 11 can drive the moving seat 12 to reciprocate along the horizontal direction. Under the action of the drive arm 13, the stirring shaft 14 is driven to reciprocate along the vertical direction while rotating, thereby realizing the adjustment of the position of the stirring blade 20. During the rotation of the stirring shaft 14, stirring blade 20, and movable seat 22 within the purification tank 4, the roller 23 reduces the frictional resistance between the movable seat 22 and the guide rail. Furthermore, while the stirring shaft 14 and stirring blade 20 reciprocate up and down via the adjusting assembly, the connecting rod 24 causes the sliding seat 21 to move and meet the contact seat 25, thus moving the contact seat 25 and controlling the first air cylinder 26 to contract. The gas in the first air cylinder 26 is squeezed into the second air cylinder 28, thereby controlling the second air cylinder 28 to extend, causing the auxiliary blade 27 to rotate along its hinge, thus enabling the deployment of the auxiliary blade 27 and improving the mixing effect between the flocculant and seawater.

[0076] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above illustratively. This description is not restrictive, and the figures shown are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. Therefore, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0077] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
