Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of air condensation water production devices, and in particular, relates to a super hydrophobic cold surface air condensation water production device. Background Art

[0002] The super-hydrophobic cold surface air condensation water making device is an innovative water making equipment. Its core lies in utilizing the special properties of the super-hydrophobic cold surface to condense water vapor in the air and collect it as water resources. The device is usually composed of key components such as a water making tank, a condensation plate, an air intake pipe and a coolant system. Among them, the condensation plate is a key component, and its surface has been specially treated to have super-hydrophobicity, that is, water droplets are difficult to wet on its surface and easily roll off. When water vapor in the air contacts a super-hydrophobic cold surface with a temperature lower than the dew point temperature, it will quickly condense into water droplets, and detach from the surface under the action of the super-hydrophobic surface, and finally flow into the water making tank and be collected.

[0003] When the current super-hydrophobic cooling surface air condensation water making device uses the condensation plate to cool the air, the water vapor in the air condenses on its surface under the condition of forced convection or natural convection with the air. If the coolant in the cooling tube body inside the condensation plate maintains a stable flow rate, the cooling efficiency of the coolant will be reduced. Summary of the invention

[0030] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the invention.

[0031] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "opening", "upper", "lower", "top", "middle", "inner", etc. indicating the orientation or position relationship are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and thus should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention.

[0032] Please refer to Figures 1-7 As shown, the present invention is a super-hydrophobic water-cooled surface air condensation water-making device, including a water-making tank 1. The water-making tank 1 is fixedly installed with an intake pipe 2. The inner wall of the intake pipe 2 is rotatably connected through a connecting shaft 3. The connecting shaft 3 is fixedly installed with an impeller 4. The connecting shaft 3 is provided with a transmission mechanism for controlling the rotation of a cam 5. The convex surface of the cam 5 is connected with a circulation mechanism arranged inside a condensation plate 6. The circulation mechanism is used to control the temperature on the surface of the condensation plate 6. The condensation plate 6 is fixedly installed on a connecting rod 7. The condensation plate 6 is inclined. A water collection tank 8 is arranged below the inclined direction of the condensation plate 6. A filter screen 9 is movably installed above the water collection tank 8.

[0033] The working principle of a super-hydrophobic cold surface air condensation water production device proposed by the present invention is that the air to be subjected to water production flows from the inside of the air inlet pipe 2 into the inside of the water production tank 1. This air to be subjected to water production has a certain initial kinetic energy, and thus will drive the impeller 4 to rotate rapidly when passing through the impeller 4. The impeller 4 drives the connecting shaft 3 to rotate synchronously, thereby driving the transmission mechanism to move, and then driving the cam 5 to rotate. Through the reciprocating contact between the convex surface of the cam 5 and the circulation mechanism, the coolant inside the circulation mechanism is reciprocally circulated, so that the temperature on the surface of the condensation plate 6 is always at an appropriate temperature.

[0034] Furthermore, when the air to be subjected to water production contacts the condensation plate 6, due to the temperature change, it will condense into small water droplets, and then slide downward along the inclined direction of the condensation plate 6, so as to drip into the inside of the water collection tank 8 for collection. And during this process, the water droplets are filtered through the filter screen 9 to filter out impurities such as dust in the water droplets.

[0035] It should be noted that the greater the air flow rate inside the air inlet pipe 2, the greater the rotation speed of the air-driven impeller 4, the faster the rotation speed of the connecting shaft 3, so that the transmission mechanism moves faster, and then the rotation speed of the cam 5 is accelerated, thereby driving the coolant inside the circulation mechanism to circulate faster, so as to facilitate the continuous cooling and condensation of a large amount of air overflowing from the air inlet pipe 2, achieving the purpose of adjusting the flow rate of the coolant flowing inside the condensation plate 6 according to the volume of the incoming gas.

[0036] In one embodiment, for the above-mentioned transmission mechanism, the transmission mechanism includes a first transmission wheel 10 arranged on the connecting shaft 3. The first transmission wheel 10 is drivingly connected to a second transmission wheel 12 through a transmission belt 11. The second transmission wheel 12 is rotatably installed on a first rotating shaft 30, and the first rotating shaft 30 is rotatably installed inside the water production tank 1.

[0037] In one embodiment, for the above-mentioned first rotating shaft 30, a worm 31 is fixedly installed on the first rotating shaft 30. The worm 31 meshes with a worm wheel 32. The worm wheel 32 is fixedly installed on a second rotating shaft 33. The second rotating shaft 33 is rotatably installed inside the water production tank 1, and the second rotating shaft 33 is fixedly installed with a cam 5.

[0038] The working principle of a super-hydrophobic cold surface air condensation water production device proposed by the present invention is that through the rotation of the connecting shaft 3, the first transmission wheel 10 is driven to rotate, and then the second transmission wheel 12 is driven to rotate through the transmission belt 11, thereby driving the first rotating shaft 30 to rotate, and then driving the worm 31 to rotate, thereby driving the worm wheel 32 to rotate, and then driving the second rotating shaft 33 to rotate, thereby driving the cam 5 to rotate, and then driving the circulation mechanism to move.

[0039] In one embodiment, for the above-mentioned circulation mechanism, the circulation mechanism includes a pipe 13 opened inside the condensation plate 6, and a first partition 14 and a second partition 15 are fixedly installed inside the pipe 13.

[0040] In one embodiment, for the above-mentioned first partition 14, one end of a first condensation pipe 16 is fixedly communicated with the first partition 14, the other end of the first condensation pipe 16 is fixedly communicated with the cooling box 17, one end of a second condensation pipe 18 is fixedly communicated with the cooling box 17, the other end of the second condensation pipe 18 is fixedly communicated with the second partition 15, a one-way control valve 19 is fixedly installed on the second partition 15, a water tank 34 is formed between the first partition 14 and the second partition 15, and the first condensation pipe 16 and the second condensation pipe 18 are laid inside the pipe 13.

[0041] In one embodiment, for the above-mentioned condensation plate 6, a plate 20 is slidably connected to one side of the condensation plate 6, a rod 21 is fixedly installed on the plate 20, the rod 21 is slidably connected inside the condensation plate 6, a return spring 22 is sleeved on the rod 21, one end of the return spring 22 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the water tank 34, the other end is fixedly installed on a connecting member 23, and the plate 20 is connected to the cam 5.

[0042] In one embodiment, for the above-mentioned connecting member 23, the connecting member 23 is fixedly installed on a pressing plate 24, and the pressing plate 24 is slidably connected inside the water tank 34.

[0043] In one embodiment, for the above-mentioned pressing plate 24, a water outlet hole 25 is opened on the pressing plate 24, a sealing cover plate 26 is slidably connected to the water outlet hole 25, one end of a spring 27 is fixedly installed on the sealing cover plate 26, and the other end of the spring 27 is fixedly installed on the connecting member 23.

[0044] The working principle of a super-hydrophobic cold surface air condensation water production device proposed by the present invention is that through the rotation of the cam 5, the plate 20 is driven to move, thereby driving the rod 21 to move, and then the return spring 22 is deformed and maintains a certain tension. At this time, the connecting member 23 and the pressing plate 24 continue to move. Since there is condensed water below the pressing plate 24, a resistance that hinders the downward movement of the pressing plate 24 will be generated. The generated resistance will open the sealing cover plate 26. At this time, the spring 27 is deformed and maintains a certain tension, so that the condensed water below the pressing plate 24 enters above the pressing plate 24 through the water outlet hole 25. Due to the presence of the one-way control valve 19, the condensed water cannot flow into the interior of the second condensation pipe 18 and can only enter above the pressing plate 24 through the water outlet hole 25.

[0045] When the convex surface of the cam 5 is not in contact with the plate 20, the return spring 22 is utilized to drive the link member 21 to return. At this time, the condensed water above the sealing cover plate 26 generates a downward resistance on the sealing cover plate 26 by its own gravity, causing the sealing cover plate 26 to cover the water outlet hole 25 and be in a closed state. The condensed water above the sealing cover plate 26 is lifted into the first condensation pipe 16, and then the tested condensed water in the first condensation pipe 16 is pushed into the cooling box 17 for cooling.

[0046] It should be noted that when the pressing plate 24 moves upward, the water tank 34 is in a negative pressure state, thereby generating suction, which causes the one-way control valve 19 to open. Thus, the cooled condensed water inside the cooling box 17 is sucked into the water tank 34 by the second condensation pipe 18. When the convex surface of the cam 5 comes into contact with the plate 20 again, the above steps are repeated, so that the condensed water in the first condensation pipe 16 is automatically replaced during the next use, ensuring that the temperature on the surface of the condensation plate 6 always remains at an appropriate temperature.

[0047] In one embodiment, for the above-mentioned connecting shaft 3, the connecting shaft 3 is rotatably installed on the fixing plate 35, the connecting rod 7 is fixedly installed inside the water making tank 1, the water collecting tank 8 is movably installed inside the water making tank 1, and the water making tank 1 is provided with a transparent observation window 36.

[0048] The working principle of the super-hydrophobic cold surface air condensation water making device proposed by the present invention is that the situation inside the water making tank 1 can be observed in real time through the transparent observation window 36.
