[0074] The present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0075] Embodiment 1:

[0076] The present invention provides an integrated air-to-water system, such as Figures 1 to 15 As shown, it includes an evaporation condensation device 10, a water supply channel with water circulation sterilization, a circulation cleaning channel and a control system 80. The control system 80 is used to control the operation of the air-to-water system.

[0077] About the evaporative condensation device 10:

[0078] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the evaporative condensation device 10 includes an evaporator 101, a compressor 102 and a condenser 103. The inner tube of the evaporator 101 contains a refrigerant, which can cool the air flowing through the evaporator 101 and liquefy the moisture in the air to form liquid water. The compressor 102 connects the evaporator 101 and the condenser 103 to circulate and cool the refrigerant. The specific working process is: the refrigerant in the evaporator 101 becomes a gas after absorbing heat, is compressed into a high-pressure and high-temperature gas by the compressor 102, and is then sent to the condenser 103 to be cooled and turned into a refrigerant. The refrigerant cooled by the condenser 103 can be transported into the evaporator 101 through a pipeline to form a complete refrigerant circulation loop.

[0079] The air-to-water system further includes an air filter assembly 108, which is disposed outside the evaporator 101. External air is filtered by the air filter assembly 108 and then enters the evaporator 101 to be liquefied into water. The air filter assembly 108 can use existing aerodynamic principles combined with multiple filtering technologies to effectively filter harmful gases in the air.

[0080] The control system 80 is composed of a control panel and a control board. The control panel is responsible for displaying operation information and various data parameters, and also allows the user to input adjustment instructions. The control board, as a mature programmable controller, coordinates and manages the operation process of the entire air-to-water system. The equipment and control logic involved in the control system 80 are all within the scope of the prior art, so they will not be described in detail here.

[0081] The key to this solution is the water supply channel with water circulation and sterilization, which includes a water collection and filtration channel and a water storage and sterilization outlet channel. The water collection and filtration channel includes a water collection device 20, a first valve device, a first pumping device and a filtering device 30 connected in sequence.

[0082] About water collection device 20:

[0083] like Figure 2 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the water collecting device 20 is connected to the evaporator 101 and is used to collect water generated by the evaporator 101. The water collecting device 20 includes a water collecting pan 201, a mounting pan 202, a pull-out pan 203, a water collecting tank 204 and a water collecting tank pump 205. The water collecting pan 201 is arranged between the evaporator 101 and the water collecting tank 204 and is used to collect water generated by the evaporator 101. The lower end surface of the water collecting pan 201 is provided with a water collecting pan outlet 2011, so that the collected water can flow from the water collecting pan outlet 2011 into the water collecting tank 204.

[0084] like Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the mounting plate 202 is fixed in the accommodating chamber of the air water system. The pull-out plate 203 is mounted on the mounting plate 202, and the pull-out plate 203 has a space for accommodating the water supply tank, and the water collecting tank 204 is arranged in the pull-out plate 203 in a pull-out manner. The pull-out design is not only convenient for the user to take out the water collecting tank 204 for cleaning or adding water at any time, but also greatly improves the flexibility and practicality of the device. The water collecting tank 204 is provided with a water collecting tank water inlet 2041 and a water collecting tank water pumping port 2042. The water collecting pan water outlet 2011 is aligned with the water collecting tank water inlet 2041 in the vertical direction. Therefore, the water generated by the evaporator 101 is collected in the water collecting pan 201, and then flows into the water collecting tank 204 from the water collecting pan water outlet 2011. In addition, a water collecting tank water pump 205 is provided at the water collecting water pumping port, and the output port of the water collecting tank water pump 205 is connected with a water pump output connector 206. The water collecting tank pump 205 pumps the water in the water collecting tank 204 out and delivers the water to the subsequent processing or utilization link through the pump output connector 206 .

[0086] The first valve device is a first two-way valve, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the first two-way valve has a first water inlet, a second water inlet and a water outlet. The first water inlet is connected to the water collecting device 20 through a pipeline, and the first two-way valve has a switching function so that its water outlet can be selectively connected to the first water inlet or the second water inlet, thereby flexibly switching different water source inputs.

[0087] About Filter Device 30:

[0088] As a key component in the air-to-water system, the type of the filter device 30 is not specifically limited in this solution, and any suitable filter can be selected. The water inlet end of the filter is connected to the water outlet of the first two-way valve (i.e., the subsequent water flow path of the water collection device 20), and the water outlet end is connected to the water storage device 40, ensuring that the water in the water collection tank 204 flows smoothly into the water storage device 40 after being effectively purified by the filter for subsequent use.

[0089] The water storage and sterilization water outlet channel comprises a water storage device 40, a second water pumping device, a water cooling and / or heating device and a second valve device connected in sequence. The first water pumping device and the second water pumping device are both water pumps, and the first water pump and the second water pump are used to provide water power for the water supply channel.

[0090] About water storage device 40:

[0091] The water storage device 40 is a key device for storing water in the air-to-water system, and is connected to the filter device 30 to receive water filtered by the filter device 30. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the water storage device 40 is a water storage tank 401 structure, the top of the tank body has an opening, and the opening is equipped with an openable top cover 402. This design not only facilitates the user to open the top cover 402 at any time to perform a comprehensive deep cleaning inside the tank body to effectively remove dirt and bacteria, but also ensures that the water quality is not polluted by the outside world when closed, thereby ensuring the safety and hygiene of drinking water.

[0092] refer to Fig.10 The water tank 401 is provided with an ultraviolet sterilization device 403, which is a UVC LED sterilization device, including an electrical connection joint 4031 and a plurality of UVC LED lamp beads 4032. The electrical connection joint 4031 is fixed on the top cover 402 of the water tank 401, and the rest of the electrical connection joint 4031 is suspended relative to the water tank 401. The electrical connection joint 4031 is connected to the lamp beads 4032 to provide control power for the lamp beads 4032. The lamp tube 4034 is sleeved on the outside of the lamp beads 4032 and is tightly connected to the electrical connection joint 4031 to provide waterproof protection for the lamp beads 4032 to prevent them from being eroded by water.

[0093] Multiple UVC LED lamp beads 4032 form a light strip, which not only improves the sterilization efficiency, but also makes the light source distribution more uniform. One or more light strips can be set in the germicidal lamp. In this embodiment, three light strips are used, which form a triangular prism structure to ensure that the water body can be irradiated with ultraviolet rays from multiple directions, thereby improving the sterilization effect.

[0094] UV is a general term for ultraviolet rays, and its wavelength range covers 100nm-420nm, but only the UVC band with a wavelength of 200-275nm has a sterilization function. The ultraviolet sterilization lamp commonly used on the market currently uses UV mercury lamp tube 4034 as a light source. The characteristics of this type of light source are relatively low manufacturing costs. However, due to the mercury content, it is not environmentally friendly, and its wavelength range is wide, resulting in relatively dispersed ultraviolet energy, so the time required for sterilization is longer. In contrast, the present application uses UVC LED lamp beads 4032 as the light source. The significant advantage of this type of lamp beads 4032 is that its wavelength can be accurately concentrated in the efficient sterilization range of 260-280nm, releasing strong ultraviolet energy, thereby achieving rapid sterilization and having a longer service life.

[0095] The water storage device 40 is connected to an ozone sterilization device, such as Figure 6 As shown, the ozone sterilization device includes an ozone generator and an ozone pump, wherein the ozone generator is responsible for generating ozone, and the ozone pump is responsible for efficiently transporting the ozone to the interior of the water storage tank 401 to implement a comprehensive sterilization treatment.

[0096] Regarding water cooling and / or heating devices:

[0097] The water cooling and / or heating device is used to cool or heat water to meet the different needs of users for hot or cold water. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The water cooling and / or heating device includes an instant cooler 50 and an instant heater 60. The instant cooler 50 is responsible for cooling the water, and the instant heater 60 is responsible for heating the water. A second two-way valve is provided between the water storage device 40 and the instant cooler 50 and the instant heater 60. Through the switching function of the second two-way valve, the water can be freely selected to be directed to the instant cooler 50 for cooling or to the instant heater 60 for heating.

[0098] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, an expansion valve can be provided in the pipeline for refrigerant output from the condenser 103 to achieve accurate distribution and control of the refrigerant. Specifically, a water-making expansion valve and a freezing water expansion valve are provided on the pipeline output from the condenser 103. The water-making expansion valve connects the condenser 103 and the evaporator 101; the freezing water expansion valve connects the instant cooler 50 and the condenser 103. Then, the refrigerant used by the evaporator 101 and the instant cooler 50 is compressed by the compressor 102 and transported to the condenser 103 for cooling, and then recycled to the water-making expansion valve and the freezing water expansion valve. According to the requirements of the water production volume and the cold water temperature, the water-making expansion valve and the freezing water expansion valve are automatically adjusted respectively, and then the water production volume and the cold water temperature can be conveniently and automatically controlled through the evaporative refrigeration structure provided in the evaporator 101 and the instant cooler 50.

[0099] About Instant Cooler 50:

[0100] The instant cooler 50 is a plate type instant cooler 50, such as Figures 11 to 15 As shown, it includes a front plate 501, a back plate 502 and a refrigerant unit 503. Please refer to Fig.13 The refrigerant unit 503 is a tube body extending from the inlet end 5031 to the outlet end 5032, and the refrigerant flows from the inlet end 5031 to the outlet end 5032 inside the tube body. A front plate 501 and a back plate 502 are respectively attached to the two sides of the tube body of the refrigerant unit 503. The front plate 501 and the back plate 502 are respectively provided with an instant cooling water inlet 5011 and an instant cooling water outlet 5012. A flow channel from the instant cooling water inlet 5011 to the instant cooling water outlet 5012 is respectively provided in the front plate 501 and the back plate 502, and a Tesla valve structure 504 is provided in the flow channel. The path of the flow channel evenly covers the entire front plate 501 and the back plate 502.

[0101] This case can be used to cool various types of fluids and has a wide range of uses. Taking 25°C normal temperature water as an example, when working, normal temperature water is input from the cold water inlet 5011 of the front plate 501 and the back plate 502. The normal temperature water of the front plate 501 and the back plate 502 flows in the flow channel, and the refrigerant is input from the inlet end 5031 of the refrigerant unit 503. The front plate 501 and the back plate 502 are used as heat exchange media. While the refrigerant flows through the pipe body, it brings out the heat of the flow channel of the front plate 501 and the back plate 502. The principle of Tesla valve reverse flow to increase turbulence is used to enable the water flow to fully exchange heat with the refrigerant in the Tesla valve flow channel, and the refrigerant is used to quickly cool the normal temperature water (25°C) to ice water (5-10°C). Among them, the Tesla valve structure 504 is in a downstream state, combined with Fig.15 , including a plurality of straight channels 5041 and eddy channels 5042, one straight channel 5041 and one eddy channel 5042 form a unit, and a junction cavity 5043 is provided at the junction of each straight channel 5041 and eddy channel 5042, and the junction cavity 5043 connects the straight channel 5041 and eddy channel 5042 of the next unit. When the fluid passes through the Tesla valve, the fluid will be divided into two parts in different directions, the straight channel 5041 and the eddy channel 5042, which not only has the effect of reducing pressure, but also can increase the contact area between the fluid and the front and back plates 502, so as to be fully cooled.

[0102] The present invention does not limit the distribution and shape of the flow channel. In a preferred embodiment, the flow channel is continuous and evenly covers the front plate 501 and the back plate 502. The instant cooling water inlet 5011 and the instant cooling water outlet 5012 are close to each other and located on the same side, which can greatly increase the area of ​​the flow channel and improve the cooling efficiency. The instant cooling water outlet 5012 of the front plate 501 can be connected in series with the instant cooling water inlet 5011 of the back plate 502 through a pipe, so that the fluid passes through the two plates, and the cooling effect is better.

[0103] In order to facilitate the inspection of the flow channel, the flow channel is designed as a detachable structure in this case. The front plate 501 and the back plate 502 form a sink groove on one side of the flow channel, and a cover plate is provided. The cover plate is sealed and covered on the sink groove. After the cover plate is opened, the flow channel can be inspected.

[0104] In order to increase the refrigerant flux, the refrigerant unit 503 has multiple tubes arranged side by side, one end of the multiple tubes is connected to the inlet end 5031, and the other end of the multiple tubes is connected to the outlet end 5032. In this way, the contact area between the refrigerant unit 503 and the front and back plates 502 is larger, and the cooling effect is better. On this basis, the front plate 501 and the back plate 502 are each provided with a tube groove on the surface of the corresponding refrigerant unit 503, and the tube body of the refrigerant unit 503 is matched and embedded in the tube groove. The design of the tube groove can make the front plate 501 and the back plate 502 more consistent with the tube body of the refrigerant unit 503, thereby improving the installation fit. The front plate 501 and the back plate 502 are fixed together by fixing parts (such as screws), so that the refrigerant unit 503 is clamped and fixed between the front plate 501 and the back plate 502.

[0105] Regarding the second valve device:

[0106] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the second valve device has a water inlet, a small circulation return port, a large circulation return port and a water outlet, wherein the water inlet is connected to the water outlet of the water cooling and / or heating device, the small circulation return port is connected to the water storage device 40; the large circulation return port is connected to the second water inlet of the first valve device; and the water outlet is connected to the drinking water outlet 7052 of the air water generator. When the second valve device is switched to connect its water inlet to the small circulation return port, the water supply channel performs small circulation sterilization; when the second valve device connects its water inlet to the large circulation return port, the water supply channel performs large circulation sterilization.

[0107] In this embodiment, the second valve device includes two interconnected two-way valves, such as Figure 7 As shown, they are the third two-way valve and the fourth two-way valve, respectively. The third two-way valve has a water inlet, a reflux port and a water outlet, the water inlet of the third two-way valve is connected to the water outlet of the water cooling and / or heating device, and the water outlet is connected to the drinking water outlet 7052 of the air water generator; the fourth two-way valve has a water inlet, a small circulation reflux port and a large circulation reflux port, the water inlet of the fourth two-way valve is connected to the reflux port of the third two-way valve, the small circulation reflux port is connected to the water storage tank 401, and the large circulation reflux port is connected to the reflux port of the first two-way valve.

[0108] In addition, in order to achieve accurate monitoring and management of water flow, flow meters can be selectively installed on key water pipelines. Figure 7As shown, a first flow meter is provided between the first pumping device and the filtering device 30; and a second flow meter is provided between the second pumping device and the water cooling and / or heating device.

[0109] The working process of the water supply channel with water circulation sterilization is as follows (reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 ):

[0110] Select to enter the "small cycle sterilization mode", the UVC LED sterilization device inside the water tank 401 is turned on, the second water pump is turned on, the second two-way valve is alternately switched to open to the instant cooler 50 or the instant heater 60, the third two-way valve is switched to open to the fourth two-way valve, and the fourth two-way valve is switched to open to the small cycle reflux port, that is, the small cycle reflux sterilization channel is connected.

[0111] Under the action of the second water pump, the water in the water tank 401 flows through the second water pump, the second flow meter, the second two-way valve, the instant cooler 50 and the instant heater 60 (alternatingly), the third two-way valve, the fourth two-way valve, and then returns to the water tank 401, and UVC LED sterilization and ozone sterilization are carried out in the water tank 401.

[0112] Select to enter the "large circulation sterilization mode", the first pump and the second pump are turned on, and the fourth two-way valve is switched to open the large circulation return port, that is, the large circulation return sterilization channel is connected. Under the action of the first pump and the second pump, the water in the water tank 401 flows to the instant cooler 50 and the instant heater 60 (alternatingly), and then flows from the large circulation return sterilization channel to the filter device 30, and returns to the water tank 401, and UVC LED sterilization and ozone sterilization are performed in the water tank 401.

[0113] When the user needs to take drinking water, the third two-way valve is switched to open the drinking water outlet 7052 according to the instruction, and water flows out from the drinking water outlet 7052 for direct drinking by the user.

[0114] Circulation cleaning channel:

[0115] The water inlet and outlet of the water supply channel are connected to an external cleaning bucket and other structures through pipes to form a circulating cleaning channel for the air-to-water system, as follows (refer to Figure 8 );

[0116] The large circulation return port of the fourth two-way valve in the water supply channel is replaced by a connection with a clean drain port on the air-to-water system through a pipeline, and the clean drain port is connected to the second water inlet of the first two-way valve through a pipeline; at the same time, the second water inlet of the first two-way valve is replaced by a connection with an external water inlet on the air-to-water system through a pipeline, and the external water inlet is connected to a cleaning bucket arranged outside the air-to-water system through a pipeline. Therefore, the first valve device, the first pumping device, the filtering device 30, the water storage device 40, the second pumping device, the water cooling and / or heating device, the second valve device, the cleaning bucket and the pipelines between these devices constitute a circulation cleaning channel. The working process of the circulation cleaning channel is as follows:

[0117] 1. Entering the "cleaning mode", the sterilization device and the ozone sterilization device are closed; the second water pump is turned on, the second two-way valve is switched to open to the instant cooler 50 and the instant heater 60 alternately, and the clean water in the water storage tank 401 is pumped into the instant cooler 50 and the instant heater 60 alternately; the third two-way valve is switched to open to the fourth two-way valve, and the fourth two-way valve is switched to open to the pipeline cleaning channel;

[0118] 2. Under the action of the first pump and the second pump, the water in the water storage tank 401, the instant cooler 50, the instant heater 60 and the pipeline is discharged;

[0119] 3. Pour clean water into the external cleaning bucket to ensure that there is enough clean water in the cleaning bucket. Connect the "external water inlet" of the air-to-water system to the cleaning bucket through a pipe, and connect the "clean drain outlet" of the air-to-water system to the cleaning bucket through a pipe;

[0120] 4. The first two-way valve is switched to the external water inlet, the first pump is turned on, and the clean water in the cleaning bucket is pumped into the water pipes and water storage tank 401, instant cooler 50, and instant heater 60 of the air water system, and then discharged from the "clean drain port" and returned to the external "cleaning bucket", realizing automatic circulation cleaning of the water pipes and water storage tank 401, instant cooler 50, and instant heater 60 of the air water system. During the cleaning process, the cleaning water in the external cleaning bucket can be replaced.

[0121] 5. After the circulation is completed, stop pumping clean water into the water pipeline of the air-to-water system and the water storage tank 401, the instant cooler 50, and the instant heater 60.

[0122] In a specific embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the air-to-water system has a frame 90, and the frame 90 has a accommodating cavity. The accommodating cavity is divided into multiple layers from top to bottom. The evaporator 101, condenser 103, fan 107, instant heater 60, water collection device 20, compressor 102, filter device 30, water storage device 40 and various pumps, valves and other structures are distributed on each layer, making the structure of the entire air-to-water system compact.

[0123] Embodiment 2:

[0124] The evaporative condensation device 10 of this embodiment adopts a tunnel-type evaporative condensation device 10, such as Figures 16 to 19 As shown, a pipe 104 is provided in which a first channel 1041 extending up and down is provided. The first channel 1041 is open at the top and the bottom, and its sidewalls are blocked. A fan 107 is connected to the top of the first channel 1041, and the fan 107 is used to blow air into the first channel 1041 and make the air flow downward. An evaporator 101 is provided in the first channel 1041. The air enters the first channel 1041 and flows through the evaporator 101 to be liquefied into liquid water. The first channel 1041 adopts a longer tunnel form. Under the condition of the same wind flux of the inflowing air and the same outer surface area of ​​the refrigeration pipeline, the inflowing air has a longer contact time with the refrigeration pipeline, and the moisture in the air can be more fully condensed into liquid water, thereby improving the efficiency of preparing liquid water.

[0125] There is one group of evaporators 101, or there are multiple groups of evaporators 101, and the multiple groups of evaporators 101 are vertically arranged in the first channel 1041, and between two adjacent groups of evaporators 101, the refrigeration temperature of the next group of evaporators 101 is lower than the refrigeration temperature of the previous group of evaporators 101. When there are multiple groups of evaporators 101, the refrigeration temperature of the rear evaporator 101 is set to be lower than the refrigeration temperature of the front evaporator 101, and the air flows through all the evaporators 101 in sequence, and liquid water is more fully condensed under the joint action of the multiple groups of evaporators 101, and the water production effect is better under the same total refrigeration energy consumption.

[0126] The evaporator 101 includes a refrigeration pipe filled with the refrigerant. The temperature of the liquid refrigerant is lower than the temperature of the air blown into the first channel 1041 by the fan 107. When the air flows through the refrigeration pipe, the liquid refrigerant absorbs the heat of the air and then vaporizes to cool the air, and at the same time, the water in the air is liquefied to form liquid water. A condenser 103 is arranged below the evaporator 101. The air flowing through the evaporator 101 can flow to the condenser 103. The condenser 103 includes a condensation pipe. The condensation pipe and the refrigeration pipe are interconnected. The liquid refrigerant is vaporized in the refrigeration pipe to form a gaseous refrigerant and flows into the condensation pipe. The temperature of the air after being cooled by the evaporator 101 is lower than the temperature of the condenser 103. When the air flows through the condensation pipe, the temperature of the condenser 103 is reduced, so that the refrigerant inside the condenser 103 is liquefied. After liquefaction, the refrigerant flows into the refrigeration pipe for evaporation, thereby cooling the air flowing through the evaporator 101 and liquefying the water to form liquid water.

[0127] The condenser 103 channel adopts a tunnel-like form, which can increase the total time of air cooling the condenser 103 and improve the heat dissipation efficiency. The condensation pipes in the condenser 103 extend horizontally and are arranged in an array up and down, and the condensation pipes are arranged in multiple groups in parallel, which can increase the flow rate of the refrigerant in the pipes of the condenser 103 to improve the heat dissipation efficiency.

[0128] like Fig.17 and Fig.18 As shown, the evaporator 101 and the condenser 103 are both in the first channel 1041, and the evaporator 101 is located directly above the condenser 103. Further, a water receiving member 105 is provided between the evaporator 101 and the condenser 103. The water receiving member 105 is in a cone shape with the tip pointing downward, and a water receiving groove 1051 is provided in the water receiving member 105. The water receiving groove 1051 is also in a cone shape with the tip pointing downward. The water receiving groove 1051 is used to receive liquid water from the evaporator 101. A water receiving member water outlet 1052 is provided below the side wall of the water receiving groove 1051. The water outlet is connected to a water outlet pipe 1053. The water outlet pipe 1053 extends to the outside of the first channel 1041 through the gap between the condenser 103 and the first channel 1041, so that the water in the water receiving groove 1051 flows to the outside of the first channel 1041.

[0129] like Fig.19As shown, a guide member 106 is arranged above the water receiving member 105. The guide member 106 is in a cone shape with the tip pointing upward. There are gaps between the guide member 106, the water receiving member 105 and the first channel 1041. The conical guide member 106 can guide the air flowing through the evaporator 101 to the gap between the guide member 106, the water receiving member 105 and the first channel 1041, so that the air flows toward the condenser 103 after passing through the gap between the guide member 106, the water receiving member 105 and the first channel 1041, and the conical guide member 106 can prevent the air flowing downward through the evaporator 101 from flowing back upward. A notch groove 1061 is also arranged at the bottom of the side wall of the guide member 106, and liquid water falling on the surface of the guide member 106 can flow into the water receiving groove 1051 through the notch groove 1061. Furthermore, the fan 107 in the tunnel-type evaporative condensing device 10 uses a booster axial flow fan to compress the air, increase the air pressure in the first channel 1041 area where the evaporator 101 is located, increase the air humidity in the evaporator 101 area, and further improve the water production efficiency.

[0130] Embodiment three:

[0131] The evaporation condensation device 10 of this embodiment also adopts a tunnel-type evaporation condensation device 10, such as Figure 20 to Figure 22 As shown, the difference from Example 2 is as follows: the first channel 1041 is bifurcated below the evaporator 101 to form a second channel 1042 and a third channel 1043, the second channel 1042 extends along the extension direction of the first channel 1041, and the third channel 1043 is located beside the second channel 1042. The first channel 1041, the second channel 1042 and the third channel 1042 are interconnected, the evaporator 101 is located in the first channel 1041, and the condenser 103 is arranged at the lower end opening of the third channel 1043. The air flowing through the evaporator 101 flows into the third channel 1043, and then flows from the lower end of the third channel 1043 to the condenser 103.

[0132] Optionally, a water receiving member 105 is provided in the second channel 1042, directly below the evaporator 101. The water receiving member 105 is located below the connection between the third channel 1043 and the first channel 1041 and the second channel 1042. The water receiving member 105 has a water receiving groove 1051, and the water receiving groove 1051 is used to receive liquid water from the evaporator 101. A water outlet is provided at the bottom of the water receiving member 105, and the water outlet is connected to the water receiving groove 1051. The second channel 1042 below the water receiving groove 1051 forms a water receiving space, and the water receiving space is used to place a water receiving bucket.

[0133] The first channel 1041 of the evaporative condensation device 10 is in the form of a longer tunnel. Under the conditions of the same wind flux of the incoming air and the same outer surface area of ​​the refrigeration pipe, the incoming air is in contact with the refrigeration pipe for a longer time, and the moisture in the air can be more fully condensed into liquid water, thereby improving the efficiency of preparing liquid water from the air.

[0134] Embodiment 4:

[0135] In addition to the above solutions, the integrated air-to-water system of the present invention can also be provided with an automatic water discharging and filling device 70 to further improve its performance, so as to achieve automatic cup discharging and self-filling of water, thereby improving user experience. Figure 23 to Figure 33 As shown, it includes a cup storage cylinder 701, a cup removal mechanism 702, a cup removal and transplanting mechanism 703, a lifting mechanism 704 and a water filling area 705. The automatic water discharge and filling device 70 is also coordinated and operated by the control system 80.

[0136] The cup storage tube 701 is used to store empty water cups 706, and the bottom of the cup storage tube 701 has a lower opening 7012; the cup removal mechanism 702 is used to separate the water cups 706 stacked on each other in the cup storage tube 701, and the separated water cups 706 located at the bottom fall freely and escape from the cup storage tube 701 through the lower opening 7012; the cup removal and transplantation mechanism 703 is located below the cup storage tube 701, and is used to catch the falling water cups 706 and transfer them to the lifting mechanism 704, and the lifting mechanism 704 lifts the received water cups 706 to the water filling area 705, and the water cups 706 are filled with water in the water filling area 705. The water cups 706 described in this case mainly refer to water cups 706 suitable for air water making equipment, and the water cups 706 have a cup rim with a diameter larger than the cup body.

[0137] like Fig.24 As shown, the cup storage barrel 701 is designed to be cylindrical in structure to accommodate water cups 706 of different sizes and shapes. A plurality of water cups 706 are stacked on each other and placed inside the cup storage barrel 701 with their openings facing upward. The upper and lower ends of the cup storage barrel 701 are respectively provided with openings. The upper opening 7011 is convenient for adding water cups 706 into the barrel when needed, and the lower opening 7012 is used to allow the water cups 706 to be taken out or automatically dropped during the operation of the device. Hollow areas 7013 are provided on both sides of the cup storage barrel 701. The hollow areas 7013 are for the cup removal mechanism 702 to separate the water cups 706 in the cup storage barrel 701.

[0138] like Fig.24As shown, the cup removal mechanism 702 is located at one side of the cup storage tube 701, and is mainly used to separate the water cups 706 stacked on each other in the cup storage tube 701. The cup removal mechanism 702 includes a U-shaped cup removal member 7021 and a first linear motion component. The opening of the U-shaped cup removal member 7021 surrounds the hollow area 7013 of the cup storage tube 701. The two sides of the inner wall of the U-shaped cup removal member 7021 are provided with inclined blocks 7022, which are the key to separating the water cups 706. Fig.26 and Fig. 27 As shown, the inclined block 7022 is triangular, and the inclination angle of the lower edge 7023 of the inclined block gradually increases from front to back. When the cup removal mechanism 702 is started, the first linear motion component pushes the U-shaped cup removal member 7021 to move forward, and the inclined block 7022 gradually inserts into the gap between the edges of the stacked water cups 706. Through the push action of the lower edge 7023 of the inclined block, the upper and lower water cups 706 begin to separate. As the U-shaped cup removal member 7021 continues to move forward, the inclination angle of the contact point between the lower edge 7023 of the inclined block and the water cup 706 gradually increases, until the lower water cup 706 falls freely due to the gravity exceeding the static friction between it and the upper water cup 706, and smoothly escapes from the lower opening 7012 of the cup storage tube 701, and finally falls on the cup removal and transplanting mechanism 703, while the upper water cup 706 is stably supported by the upper end of the inclined block 7022 and will not fall.

[0139] The U-shaped cup removal member 7021 has a cup holder 7024 for supporting the water cup 706 on both sides of the inner wall. The cup holder 7024 is located in front of the inclined block 7022, and the height of the upper surface of the cup holder 7024 is lower than the height of the upper surface of the front end of the inclined block 7022. In this way, after completing a cup removal operation, the U-shaped cup removal member 7021 will move backward to reset and wait for the next cup removal operation. When the U-shaped cup removal member 7021 moves backward until the inclined block 7022 is completely separated from the water cup 706, the water cup 706 will fall and be carried on the cup holder 7024. When the water cup 706 is stacked on the cup holder 7024, the height of the front end of the inclined block 7022 is just located between the cup edges of the two water cups 706 at the bottom. In this way, it is ensured that the inclined block 7022 can be accurately inserted between the cup edges of the two water cups 706 at the bottom during the next cup removal operation, thereby smoothly separating the water cup 706 at the bottom.

[0140] In this embodiment, the first linear motion assembly for driving the U-shaped cup removal member 7021 includes a first slide rail 7025, a first slider 7026, a first swing arm 7027, a second swing arm 7028 and a first motor 7029. The rear end of the U-shaped cup removal member 7021 is arranged on the first slide rail 7025 through the first slider 7026. The output end of the first motor 7029, the first swing arm 7027, the second swing arm 7028 and the first slider 7026 are pivotally connected in sequence to form a transmission chain. When the first motor 7029 is started, its power is transmitted to the first slider 7026 through the swing arm, thereby driving the U-shaped cup removal member 7021 to perform linear reciprocating motion, thereby realizing precise control of the cup removal action.

[0141] like Fig. 27 As shown, the cup picking and transferring mechanism 703 is located between the cup storage cylinder 701 and the lifting mechanism 704 , and is used to catch the water cup 706 dropped from the cup storage cylinder 701 and transfer it to the lifting mechanism 704 .

[0142] like Figures 28 to 30 As shown in the figure, the cup picking and transplanting mechanism 703 includes a docking station 7031 and a second linear motion mechanism. The docking station 7031 is used to catch the fallen water cup 706, and the second linear motion mechanism is used to drive the docking station 7031 to move between the cup storage barrel 701 and the lifting mechanism 704 to transfer the received water cup 706 to the lifting mechanism 704. Specifically, the second linear motion mechanism includes a second slide rail 7034, a second slider 7035, a second motor 7036, a first gear 7037 and a rack 7038. Among them, the second slide rail 7034 is laid between the cup storage barrel 701 and the lifting mechanism 704, the docking station 7031 is slidably arranged on the second slide rail 7034 through the second slider 7035, the rack 7038 is fixedly connected to the second slider 7035 and is parallel to the second slide rail 7034, and the rack 7038 is meshed with the first gear 7037. The output end of the second motor 7036 is connected to the first gear 7037 and drives the first gear 7037 to rotate. When the docking station 7031 receives the cup 706 dropped from the cup storage tube 701 at the initial position, the second motor 7036 is started, and through the cooperation of the first gear 7037 and the rack 7038, the docking station 7031 is driven to move smoothly along the second slide rail 7034 until the cup 706 is accurately transferred to the lifting mechanism 704.

[0143] As a further improvement of the structure, Fig.28As shown, a C-shaped hanging part 7032 is provided on the docking platform 7031, and the C-shaped hanging part 7032 is used to support the cup edge of the water cup 706, so that the bottom of the water cup 706 can be suspended. That is, the diameter of the C-shaped hanging part 7032 is smaller than the outer diameter of the cup edge of the water cup 706 and larger than the diameter of the cup body, so that the water cup 706 can enter and exit the C-shaped hanging part 7032 horizontally from the top of the C-shaped hanging part 7032 without hindrance, but will not fall off from the bottom of the C-shaped hanging part 7032. Such a design not only facilitates the subsequent easy transfer of the water cup 706 from the docking platform 7031 to the lifting mechanism 704, but also effectively avoids friction or damage that may be caused by bottom contact during the transfer process.

[0144] The lifting mechanism 704 is located between the cup-taking and transplanting mechanism 703 and the water filling area 705, and is used to receive the water cup 706 from the cup-taking and transplanting mechanism 703 and lift it to the water filling area 705. Fig.28 As shown, the lifting mechanism 704 is composed of a lifting tray 7041 and a third linear moving mechanism. The third linear moving mechanism includes a belt 7043 transmission wheel 7044 assembly and a third motor 7045. Among them, the belt 7043 transmission wheel 7044 assembly is composed of a belt 7043 and a transmission wheel 7044, and the whole is arranged in a vertical direction to ensure that the water cup 706 can be transported along the vertical direction. The output end of the third motor 7045 is connected to the transmission wheel 7044, and the belt 7043 is driven to move by driving the transmission wheel 7044 to rotate. The cross section of the lifting tray 7041 is L-shaped, and the horizontal part of the L-shaped lifting tray 7041 is used to receive the water cup 706 of the self-cup transplanting mechanism 703, and the vertical part of the L-shaped lifting tray 7041 is arranged on the belt 7043 through a connecting piece 7046, so that the lifting tray 7041 can move with the movement of the belt 7043, and the water cup 706 on it is lifted to the water filling area 705.

[0145] As a further improvement of the structure, Fig.30 As shown, the horizontal part of the lifting tray 7041 is provided with a ring-shaped hollow cup holder 7042, and the inner diameter of the hollow cup holder 7042 is larger than the minimum outer diameter of the water cup 706, and smaller than the maximum outer diameter of the water cup 706, so as to ensure that the water cup 706 can always be firmly stuck during the transmission process, and the water cup 706 will not fall off easily even if it encounters bumps or shaking, thereby greatly improving the safety and reliability of transmission.

[0146] The lifting tray 7041 receives the water cup 706 from below the water cup 706 on the docking station 7031, and directly lifts the water cup 706 upward after receiving it. Therefore, the horizontally arranged C-shaped hanging part 7032 is provided with a side opening 7033 facing the lifting mechanism 704, and the side opening 7033 is for avoiding the lifting mechanism 704. In addition, the hollow cup holder 7042 also needs to meet the following requirements: its outer diameter is smaller than the inner diameter of the C-shaped hanging part 7032, so as to ensure that the lifting tray 7041 can smoothly pass through the C-shaped hanging part 7032 when moving upward.

[0147] like Fig.23 and Fig.24 As shown, the water filling area 705 is usually located at the upper position of the air water making device. A cup outlet 7051 is provided below the water filling area 705 for the water cup 706 to pass through, and the drinking water outlet 7052 is provided above the water filling area 705 at a position corresponding to the cup outlet 7051. The drinking water outlet 7052 is connected to the air water making module to ensure water supply. When the device is started, the lifting mechanism 704 will lift the water cup 706 upward so that it passes through the cup outlet 7051 to the predetermined position of the water filling area 705, and then the drinking water outlet 7052 will respond to discharge water until the water filling operation is completed.

[0148] As a further improvement of the structure, Figure 31 to Figure 33 As shown, an automatic door opening and closing mechanism 707 is provided at the cup outlet 51 below the water filling area 705. When the cup is discharged, the automatic door opening and closing mechanism 707 is automatically opened, and when the water cup 706 is taken away, the automatic door opening and closing mechanism 707 is automatically closed.

[0149] The automatic door opening and closing mechanism 707 is a shutter door structure, specifically including a component mounting plate 7071, a leaf mounting plate 7072, a plurality of leafs 7073, a leaf drive plate 7074 and a cover plate 65. The middle of these components is hollowed out to form a passage for the water cup to pass through. Among them, the component mounting plate 7071 is fixed on the frame of the air water system for installation of other components. The leaf mounting plate 7072 is fixed on the component mounting plate 7071, and the leaf 63 is pivotally connected to the leaf mounting plate 7072. The outer periphery of the leaf drive plate 7074 has a tooth segment 7078, and the leaf drive plate 7074 is driven by the fourth motor 7076. The output end of the fourth motor 7076 is connected to a second gear 7077, and the second gear 7077 is meshed with the tooth segment 7078. The fourth motor 7076 drives the leaf drive disk 7074 to rotate through the cooperation of the second gear 7077 and the tooth segment 7078. The leaf drive disk 7074 rotates forward or reversely to expand or fold the leaf 7073 assembly, thereby closing or opening the above-mentioned channel.

[0150] As a further improvement of the structure, a water cup reinforcement mechanism 708 is also provided below the automatic door opening and closing mechanism 707. Fig.31 , Fig.32 and Fig.33 As shown, it specifically includes a reinforcement tray 7081 and a rotation controller 7082, and the reinforcement tray 7081 is controlled by the rotation controller 7082 to swing. When the water cup 706 is lifted to a predetermined position in the water filling area 705 and is waiting to be filled with water, the reinforcement tray 7081 will be swung to the bottom of the passage of the automatic door opening and closing mechanism 707, that is, under the water cup 706 to be filled with water, to provide support for the water cup 706. At the same time, the shutter door leaf piece 7073 of the automatic door opening and closing mechanism is relaxed, which can prevent the water cup 706 from tilting or falling, and also facilitate and easily take away the water cup 706.

[0151] The reinforcement action process of the water cup 706 is as follows: Step 1: The louver door leaf 7073 of the automatic door opening and closing mechanism 707 is opened, and the reinforcement tray 7081 of the water cup reinforcement mechanism 708 is rotated to make room for the cup discharge position; Step 2: The lifting tray 7042 sends the water cup 706 to the water filling position; Step 3: The louver door leaf 7073 is tightened to clamp the water cup 706; Step 4: The reinforcement tray 7081 rotates to the bottom of the water cup 706; Step 5: The louver door leaf 7073 is relaxed, and the water cup 706 is supported by the reinforcement tray 7081; Step 6: After the water cup 706 is taken out, the louver door leaf 7073 is closed.

[0152] The working process of the automatic cup water filling device is as follows:

[0153] When the user requests to take water, the control system 80 starts the cup removal mechanism 702, and the first linear movement mechanism moves the U-shaped cup removal member 7021 forward until the water cup 706 below falls, and then the U-shaped cup removal member 7021 moves backward to reset and wait for the next operation;

[0154] After the water cup 706 falls onto the docking platform 7031 of the cup picking and transferring mechanism 703, it is caught by the C-shaped hanging portion 7032, and then the second linear moving mechanism is activated to transport the docking platform 7031 and the water cup 706 horizontally to the left to the lifting mechanism 704, so that the water cup 706 is located directly above the hollow cup holder 7042;

[0155] Next, the third motor 7045 of the lifting mechanism 704 is started to lift the lifting tray 7041 upwards. When the water cup 706 is separated from the docking platform 7031, the docking platform 7031 moves to the right and resets to wait for the next operation.

[0156] When the water cup 706 reaches the predetermined position of the water filling area 705, that is, the cup outlet 7051, the control system 80 starts the water outlet 7052 to fill a certain amount of water into the water cup 706. After the water is filled, the user can take the water cup 706 away for drinking. When the water cup 706 is taken away, the lifting mechanism 704 is reset to wait for the next operation.

[0157] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not a limitation on the design of this case. Any equivalent changes made based on the design key of this case shall fall within the protection scope of this case.
