Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of wood functional modification, and in particular relates to a preparation method of a wood wedge-shaped surface for directional moisture transmission and a mist collecting device. Background Art

[0002] In nature, many organisms demonstrate highly evolved directional liquid transport capabilities, such as spider webs that achieve unidirectional water droplet movement through microstructures, and cactus thorns and the backs of desert beetles that efficiently collect water. These organisms have inspired the development of artificial surface design and promoted applications in fields such as microfluidics, energy harvesting, and water resource management. However, how to effectively replicate the complex and efficient liquid transport mechanisms in nature in artificial systems remains a huge challenge. Current research on liquid directional transport materials mainly focuses on metals, polymers, and silicon-based materials; metals (such as copper and aluminum) are widely used to construct gradient surfaces due to their excellent mechanical strength and thermal conductivity, but their processing is complex and environmentally unfriendly; polymer materials (such as PDMS and PTFE) are favored for their easy processing and surface chemical customizability, but their durability in long-term use is poor; although silicon-based materials are compatible with micro-nano processing technology, their processing equipment is expensive and chemical reagents have potential environmental hazards, which limits their development in large-scale applications;

[0003] In terms of structural design, conical and wedge-shaped structures are commonly used geometric forms, which drive the directional motion of droplets through the Laplace pressure gradient generated by the curvature difference; however, these designs usually rely on complex micro-nano processing processes such as laser etching and chemical vapor deposition, which are not only costly but also face major challenges in sustainable applications.

[0004] In sharp contrast, wood, with its unique microstructure and sustainability, has shown great potential in directional liquid transport. As a natural material, the porous network and anisotropic structure of wood provide an ideal basis for constructing liquid transport channels. The vessels and tracheids inside the wood form longitudinally arranged channels, which can achieve rapid liquid flow with less resistance. In addition, the difference in density and porosity between earlywood and latewood of wood gives it a unique ability to regulate liquid transport. For example, the thin-walled cells of earlywood contribute to efficient liquid conduction, while the thick-walled cells of latewood effectively regulate the flow rate. This natural hierarchical structure can realize the liquid transport function without complex processing. Although wood has significant advantages in the field of liquid transport, its development still has some shortcomings, such as the lack of controllability of the surface properties of natural wood. Therefore, a method for preparing a wooden wedge surface for directional moisture transport and a mist collection device are provided. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing a wooden wedge-shaped surface for directional moisture transport, so that the processing and preparation of the wooden wedge-shaped surface for directional moisture transport can be achieved without relying on high-cost micro-nano processing technology.

[0010] The dried wedge-shaped wood is subjected to a delignification treatment;

[0011] The delignified wedge-shaped wood is immersed in a modified resin solution, and after the immersion is completed, the wedge-shaped wood is taken out for cleaning and drying, so that grooves are formed on the surface of the wedge-shaped wood;

[0012] The wedge-shaped wood with grooves formed on the surface is immersed in a hydrophobic modification solution, and after the immersion is completed, the wedge-shaped wood is taken out for cleaning and drying to obtain a super-hydrophobic wedge-shaped wood;

[0025] The wedge-shaped wood with grooves formed on the surface is immersed in a hydrophobic modification solution, and after the immersion is completed, the wedge-shaped wood is taken out for cleaning and drying to obtain a super-hydrophobic wedge-shaped wood, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0026] The hydrophobic agent is mixed with TiO2 nanoparticles and dissolved in an ethanol solution with a concentration of 10-40wt% to obtain a hydrophobic modified solution;

[0027] The grooved wedge-shaped wood is immersed in the hydrophobic modification solution for 1-3 hours;

[0028] After the impregnation is completed, take out the wedge-shaped wood and clean it with anhydrous ethanol;

[0029] After cleaning, the wedge-shaped wood is dried to obtain a super-hydrophobic wedge-shaped wood;

[0030] When the hydrophobic agent is mixed with TiO2 nanoparticles, the mass of the TiO2 nanoparticles is 2-4 times the mass of the hydrophobic agent;

[0032] The particle size of TiO2 nanoparticles is 100-200nm;

[0033] By using a UV lamp and a light shielding film to irradiate a super-hydrophobic wedge-shaped wood, the surface of the wedge-shaped wood has a gradient wettability, and a finished wedge-shaped wood with a wood wedge-shaped surface for directional water transmission is obtained, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0034] The UV lamp emits UV light with a wavelength of 365 nm and the light intensity is set to 0.35 W / m 2 ;

[0039] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0040] 1. The present invention is based on natural wood, and the longitudinal section of the wood is processed into wedge-shaped wood, making full use of the complex hierarchical structure formed by the arrangement of natural vessels and tracheids. After removing lignin through delignification treatment, the early wood and late wood on the wood surface naturally form regular micro-groove structures due to the differences in density and shrinkage characteristics during the subsequent resin impregnation and drying process. The early wood shows more significant volume changes during impregnation due to its thin-walled cells and larger porosity, while the late wood has a denser wall structure and a lower shrinkage degree. The synergistic effect of the two promotes the formation of surface grooves; at the same time, through ultraviolet radiation combined with the control of the movement of the shading film The system realizes the construction of a gradient wettability surface from the bottom to the top. Compared with traditional materials such as metal, plastic or silicon-based materials, wood, as a natural organic polymer material, has the advantages of abundant resources, low processing cost and strong renewability. Its unique microstructure and natural grading characteristics of early and late wood make it possible to achieve complex geometry and surface functionalization without relying on high-cost micro-nano processing technology. The finished wedge-shaped wood has the characteristics of low cost and high efficiency, and can be mass-produced. The synergistic effect of the gradient wettability surface and the groove structure of the wood wedge surface through the directional water transport can realize the rapid directional transport of droplets.

[0041] 2. The droplets in the air are efficiently captured by the live cactus thorns, and the synergistic effect of the gradient wettability surface and the groove structure of the wooden wedge surface for directional water transmission is used to achieve rapid directional transport of the droplets. At the same time, as the droplets accumulate, the droplets drive the finished wedge-shaped wood and the rotating shaft to flip toward the end of the collecting cylinder, so that the droplets fall into the collecting cylinder. After the droplets fall, the counterweight roller drives the finished wedge-shaped wood to automatically reset, which can effectively ensure the continuous operation of the device. Compared with the existing mist collection device, the present invention not only improves the efficiency of droplet collection and liquid transportation, but also reduces the complexity and operating cost of the device.
