[0033] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

Terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" are used only to indicate relative positional relationships; when the absolute position of the described object changes, the relative positional relationship may also change accordingly.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a terahertz nanoparticle water pump includes a terahertz wave emitter 1, a dimming assembly, two support plates 2, and multiple first nanotubes 3. The dimming assembly is disposed below the terahertz wave emitter 1. Each support plate 2 is fixedly disposed at the bottom of the dimming assembly. Both ends of each first nanotube 3 are fixedly connected to and communicate with the support plate 2. A liquid filling tank 4 is fixedly connected to the side of each support plate 2 away from the first nanotube 3. A tank cover 5 is detachably connected to the side of each liquid filling tank 4 away from the support plate 2. An inlet pipe 6 is connected to the top of each liquid filling tank 4.

[0036] The dimming component is used to control the terahertz wave irradiation at one end of the first nanotube 3 to confirm the direction of liquid flow, and to control the length of the terahertz wave irradiation at the first nanotube 3 to control the flow rate.

[0037] For example, by placing equal amounts of liquid into the liquid filling tank 4, and controlling the terahertz wave emitted by the terahertz wave emitter 1 to irradiate the first nanotube 3 via a dimming component, and determining the water flow direction based on the terahertz wave irradiation at one end of the first nanotube 3, while simultaneously controlling the terahertz wave irradiation length to control the water flow speed, the liquid at one end of the liquid filling tank 4 is directionally transported to the other end of the liquid filling tank 4. This solves the problem of terahertz wave irradiation-controlled directional liquid transport. More specifically, it can be applied to desalination operations. The pore size of the first nanotube 3... Smaller than salt particles, or a nanofiltration membrane is attached to the side of the support plate 2 away from the first nanotube 3 to block salt particles. Seawater is injected into one liquid tank 4 and fresh water is injected into the other liquid tank 4. The seawater is transported to the fresh water direction by the dimming component to complete the desalination work. Since the tank cover 5 and the liquid tank 4 are detachable, the salt can be removed by removing the tank cover 5 after the desalination work is completed. At the same time, the two liquid tanks 4 have the same structure, so there is no need to control the direction of use during use. You only need to control the dimming component to determine the direction of liquid flow.

[0038] As an optional embodiment, it also includes a bottom protective cover 7 and a top protective cover 8. The bottom protective cover 7 is disposed between the two support plates 2, and the top protective cover 8 is disposed on top of the two support plates 2. The top protective cover 8 and the bottom protective cover 7 are fixedly connected, and the terahertz wave transmitter 1 is fixedly disposed on the inner top of the top protective cover 8.

[0039] As an optional embodiment, it also includes a plurality of second nanotubes 9 arranged in a ring array, all second nanotubes 9 and all first nanotubes 3 are staggered, both ends of each second nanotube 9 are fixedly connected to and communicate with the support plate 2, and the pore size of each second nanotube 9 is larger than the pore size of the first nanotube 3. The bottom protective cover 7 is provided with a connecting rod 10 inside, and both ends of the connecting rod 10 pass through the center of the support plate 2 and the box cover 5, respectively. The liquid filling tank 4 is provided with an adjusting plate 11 inside, one side of the adjusting plate 11 is attached to the support plate 2, the adjusting plate 11 is provided with connecting holes 12 adapted to all second nanotubes 9, the adjusting plate 11 is sleeved on the connecting rod 10, and the adjusting plate 11 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 10. Each box cover 5 is provided with a switching component, each switching component is drivenly connected to the connecting rod 10, and a first driving member is installed on one side of the bottom protective cover 7, the first driving member is drivenly connected to two switching components.

[0040] As an optional embodiment, the switching component includes:

[0041] A drive block 13 is sleeved on the connecting rod 10, and the drive block 13 and the connecting rod 10 are connected by a snap-lock structure;

[0042] The first connecting plate 14 has one end fixedly connected to the first driving member and the other end provided with an oblong through hole 15.

[0043] The second connecting plate 16 has one end fixedly connected to the driving block 13, and the other end is fixedly provided with a convex shaft 17, which is disposed in the waist-shaped through hole 15.

[0044] As an optional embodiment, the first driving element includes:

[0045] The drive plate 18 is slidably connected to one side of the bottom protective cover 7, and the two ends of the drive plate 18 are respectively fixedly connected to one end of the first connecting plate 14.

[0046] Magnet block 19 is fixed on one side of the drive plate 18;

[0047] An electromagnet 20 is disposed on the side of the magnet block 19 away from the drive plate 18. The electromagnet 20 is fixedly connected to the bottom protective cover 7, and the magnetic poles of the electromagnet 20 after being energized are the same as the magnetic poles of the magnet block 19.

[0048] The spring 21 has one end fixed to the side of the drive plate 18 away from the magnet block 19, and the other end fixed to the fixing block 22, and the fixing block 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom protective cover 7.

[0049] For example, by setting a second nanotube 9, the pore size of which is larger than that of the first nanotube 3, impurities larger than salt particles are blocked, preventing the first nanotube 3 from being blocked and affecting water flow. At the same time, the electromagnet 20 is energized to generate the same magnetic pole as the magnet block 19, so as to generate a repulsive force to push the magnet block 19 to move. The magnet block 19 drives the drive plate 18 to move, the drive plate 18 drives the first connecting plate 14 to move, the first connecting plate 14 drives the convex shaft 17 to move through the waist-shaped through hole 15, the convex shaft 17 drives the second connecting plate 16 to move, the second connecting plate 16 drives the drive block 13 to rotate, the drive block 13 drives the connecting rod 10 to rotate, and the connecting rod 10 drives the adjusting plate 11 to rotate, so as to adjust the object connected by the connecting hole 12. If the connecting hole 12 is connected to the first nanotube 3 when the electromagnet 20 is not energized, then the connecting hole 12 is connected to the second nanotube 9 after the electromagnet 20 is energized.

[0050] As an optional embodiment, the two support plates 2 are connected by a plurality of guide rods 23, one end of each guide rod 23 being fixedly connected to the support plate 2 to improve the stability between the two support plates 2.

Each bracket 26 is fixedly disposed on the top of the support plate 2. Two connecting straps 27 are wound around each rotating shaft 25. One end of each connecting strap 27 is fixedly connected to one corner of the shielding cloth 24, and the other end is fixedly connected to the corresponding rotating shaft 25. Each rotating shaft 25 is also connected to the second driving component for transmission.

[0055] As an optional embodiment, the second driving element includes:

[0056] The belt-type synchronous pulley assembly 28 has two pulleys respectively sleeved on the rotating shaft 25 and fixedly connected;

[0057] The motor 29 is fixed on a bracket 26, and the output shaft of the motor 29 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft 25.

[0058] For example, in the initial position, the shielding cloth 24 is set below the terahertz wave transmitter 1, completely blocking it. The motor 29 drives a rotating shaft 25 to rotate, which drives the belt synchronous pulley group 28 to work, so that the two rotating shafts 25 rotate synchronously. This controls the connecting belt 27 to move the shielding cloth 24, thereby controlling which end of the first nanotube 3 and the length of the terahertz wave emitted by the terahertz wave transmitter 1 irradiates, and thus controlling the direction and speed of the water flow.
