[0021] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0022] According to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 9As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a solar photovoltaic panel cooling, efficiency increasing and seawater evaporation device, which includes two groups of first fixed beams 1 and two groups of second fixed beams 3. Among them, the two groups of second fixed beams 3 are symmetrically fixed at the top of the two groups of first fixed beams 1. On the left and right sides of the bottom ends of the two groups of first fixed beams 1, adjustable angle foot brackets 2 are provided. The adjustable angle foot brackets 2 have adjustable inclination angles to adapt to the sunlight angles in different regions, and also have a lifting adjustment function to adapt to different usage heights. On each group of second fixed beams 3, two sets of moving frames 4 are arranged in a front-back symmetrical distribution. The moving frames 4 are slidably arranged on the second fixed beams 3 for sliding adjustment of the displacement. After the sliding adjustment of the displacement, they are fixedly installed on the second fixed beams 3 through bolts. And a pressing mechanism is provided on the moving frames 4. A set of solar photovoltaic panels 5 are jointly placed on the tops of the two groups of second fixed beams 3, and the solar photovoltaic panels 5 are pressed and fixed on the tops of the second fixed beams 3 by the pressing mechanism, which is convenient for the disassembly and assembly of the solar photovoltaic panels 5. The solar photovoltaic panels 5 in this embodiment are composed of silicon wafers, electrodes and packaging materials. A thermoelectric cooling plate 6 for cooling the solar photovoltaic panels 5 is slidably inserted on the back of the solar photovoltaic panels 5, which is convenient for the disassembly and assembly of the thermoelectric cooling plate 6. The electricity generated by the solar photovoltaic panels 5 can be used for user storage or to drive the thermoelectric cooling plate 6 to work. When the temperature of the solar photovoltaic panels 5 is higher than the normal temperature, the controller 24 on the device starts to drive the thermoelectric cooling plate 6 to work and cool the back of the solar photovoltaic panels 5; A seawater evaporation box 7 is provided below the solar photovoltaic panels 5. A first partition plate 8 which is inclined is fixedly installed on the left side inside the seawater evaporation box 7, and a second partition plate 9 which is inclined is fixedly installed on the right side inside the seawater evaporation box 7. Above the first partition plate 8, a porous capillary diversion plate 10 which is inclined is provided. The internal space of the seawater evaporation box 7 is divided into a seawater storage cavity 11 for storing seawater to be desalinated, a seawater evaporation cavity 12 for heating and evaporating seawater, and a condensation cavity 13 by the first partition plate 8, the second partition plate 9 and the porous capillary diversion plate 10. The hot end of the thermoelectric cooling plate 6 is bent and penetrates into the seawater evaporation cavity 12 to heat and evaporate the seawater inside the seawater evaporation cavity 12 by using the heat transferred by the hot end of the thermoelectric cooling plate 6. Two water outlet pipes with automatic control valves which are respectively communicated with the seawater storage cavity 11 and the seawater evaporation cavity 12 are fixedly installed on the front of the seawater evaporation box 7 for discharging seawater; In this embodiment, the porous capillary diversion plate 10 plays a key role in mass transfer and phase change regulation in the seawater evaporation-condensation fresh water collection system. Its working process is based on the synergistic effect of capillary force drive, interfacial effect and phase change thermodynamics. In the evaporation stage, for the hydrophobic porous medium with a gradient porosity distribution, water vapor undergoes a phase change through the porous medium and condenses into liquid in the capillary diversion groove, then flows downward through the capillary diversion groove to the second partition plate 9 and converges in the condensation cavity 13. Its high specific surface area characteristic significantly enhances the condensation rate of water vapor under the action of low-grade heat energy. At the same time, the nano / micro composite pore structure in the porous capillary diversion plate 10 reduces the evaporation enthalpy of water through the confinement effect, realizing efficient phase change conversion. After the steam is generated, the superhydrophobic functional layer on the surface of the porous capillary diversion plate 10, combined with the directional microstructure design, guides the water vapor to transport and converge towards the condensation cavity 13 along the preset three-dimensional flow path. During this process, by regulating the steam diffusion path length and local pressure gradient, steam escape can be effectively inhibited and latent heat loss can be reduced.

[0023] A water inlet pipe 14, which is fixed to the lower part of the right side wall of the seawater evaporation tank 7 and is connected to the seawater storage cavity 11 and is equipped with a control valve by itself, is used to inject seawater to be desalinated. A drain pipe 15, which is fixed to the upper part of the right side wall of the seawater evaporation tank 7 and is connected to the condensation cavity 13 and is equipped with a control valve by itself, is used to discharge the condensed water output from the porous capillary diversion plate 10. The porous capillary diversion plate 10 is inclined and its water outlet end faces the second partition plate 9. The condensed water output from the porous capillary diversion plate 10 flows down along the second partition plate 9 and is discharged by the drain pipe 15.

[0024] A first return pipe 16, which is fixed to the lower part of the left side wall of the seawater evaporation tank 7 and is connected to the seawater storage cavity 11, and a second return pipe 17, which is fixed to the upper part of the left side wall of the seawater evaporation tank 7 and is connected to the seawater evaporation cavity 12, are provided. A water pump 18 is fixed between the first return pipe 16 and the second return pipe 17. A concentration sensor 19 is fixed inside the seawater evaporation cavity 12. The concentration sensor 19 is connected to the PLC control system of the device and is used to start the water pump 18 to work when the detected seawater concentration is higher than the preset value. The hot end of the thermoelectric cooling plate 6 is inserted into the seawater evaporation cavity 12. The seawater is heated and evaporated into water vapor and flows towards the porous capillary diversion plate 10. The concentration sensor 19 is used to monitor the seawater concentration in the seawater evaporation cavity 12 in real time. When the concentration exceeds the preset value, the water pump 18 is started to continue injecting the seawater stored in the seawater storage cavity 11 into the seawater evaporation cavity 12 to reintroduce fresh seawater and repeat the work.

[0025] The thermoelectric cooling plate 6 includes a thermoelectric cooling cold end 601 and a thermoelectric cooling hot end 602. The thermoelectric cooling cold end 601 is attached to the back of the solar photovoltaic panel 5, and efficient heat dissipation is achieved through a thermal conductive interface material or vacuum bonding technology. The thermoelectric cooling hot end 602 is fixed to the back of the thermoelectric cooling cold end 601. One end of the thermoelectric cooling hot end 602 close to the seawater evaporation tank 7 is bent and penetrates into the seawater evaporation chamber 12. The thermoelectric cooling hot end 602 is made of a flexible material that can be bent and has high temperature resistance, facilitating bending, fitting, or extension according to the installation angle or position of the solar photovoltaic panel 5, and transporting heat to the seawater evaporation chamber 12 in the seawater evaporation tank 7 to heat the seawater therein. The flexible material has a base material of silica gel and is filled with boron nitride (BN) or aluminum oxide (Al 2 O 3 )particles (accounting for 30 - 50%), with a thermal conductivity of 8 - 12 W / m·K, a temperature resistance range of -50 - 200 °C, a bending radius ≤ 10 mm, suitable for repeated bending scenarios. Copper foil (thickness 0.1 mm) and high-temperature resistant silica gel are alternately laminated, having both metal thermal conductivity and flexibility, with a thermal conductivity > 200 W / m·K, and nickel plating on the surface to prevent seawater corrosion; When an electric current passes through a loop composed of two different semiconductor materials (p-type and n-type) at the thermoelectric cooling cold end 601 and the thermoelectric cooling hot end 602, one joint will absorb heat (refrigeration), and the other joint will release heat (heating). By changing the direction of the electric current, the switching between refrigeration and heating can be achieved (in winter when the temperature is low, it can be used for heating to melt the snow or ice crystals on the surface of the solar photovoltaic panel 5 so that the solar photovoltaic panel 5 can reach a good operating state).

[0026] A sleeve plate 20 is fixed to the back of the solar photovoltaic panel 5, and the sleeve plate 20 covers the periphery of the thermoelectric cooling plate 6. The thermoelectric cooling plate 6 is slidably inserted into the sleeve plate 20 to achieve its sliding plug-in connection. A baffle 21 is fixed to the side of the back of the solar photovoltaic panel 5 away from the seawater evaporation tank 7. The baffle 21 is adapted to the thermoelectric cooling plate 6 and plays a blocking role for the thermoelectric cooling plate 6.

[0027] The photoelectric conversion efficiency ( )of the photovoltaic cell is significantly affected by temperature ( ). Its temperature dependence is determined by the temperature drift of the bandgap width of the semiconductor material and the carrier recombination rate. The photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar photovoltaic panel 5 in this embodiment is as follows:

[0028] Among them, is the efficiency at the reference temperature , is the temperature coefficient, is the actual temperature of the photovoltaic panel, is the ambient temperature.

[0029] The thermoelectric cooling plate 6 in this embodiment adopts the solid-state heat pump principle of thermoelectric cooling (TEC). TEC is based on the Peltier Effect and uses the carrier migration of semiconductor heterojunctions ( p - n junction) to achieve the directional transport of heat: When a direct current ( ) passes through the TEC, electrons absorb or release latent heat at the interface between the p type and the n type semiconductors; The cold end ( ) absorbs heat, and the hot end ( ) releases heat, forming a heat pump effect; The formula for thermoelectric cooling capacity is as follows:

[0030] Wherein, = is the Seebeck coefficient (V / K), is the working current (A), , are the temperatures of the cold end and the hot end (K) respectively, is the internal resistance of the TEC (Ω), is the thermal conductivity (W / K).

[0031] A groove is formed on the back of the solar photovoltaic panel 5, and a temperature sensor 22 for real-time monitoring of the temperature of the photovoltaic panel 5 is fitted and installed in the groove. The temperature sensor 22 is connected to the PLC control system of the device and is used to drive the thermoelectric cooling plate 6 to work when the detected temperature is higher than the preset value. The power control module 23 and the controller 24 of the device are respectively fixed on both sides of the bottom end of the sleeve plate 20 for automatic regulation.

[0032] The pressing mechanism includes a lead screw 25 and a knob 26. The lead screw 25 threadedly penetrates through the top end of the moving frame 4, and the knob 26 is fixed to the top end of the lead screw 25 by a screw. The bottom end of the lead screw 25 is rotatably connected to a pressing plate 27 through a bearing. The pressing plate 27 is slidably fitted to the inner wall of the moving frame 4. By rotating the knob 26, the lead screw 25 is driven to rotate downward to drive the pressing plate 27 to descend, and cooperate with the second fixing beam 3 to press and fix the solar photovoltaic panel 5.

[0033] The first fixing beam 1 and the second fixing beam 3 are both equidistantly provided with bolt holes 28. The second fixing beam 3 is fixed to the top end of the first fixing beam 1 by bolts. The moving frame 4 is fixedly connected to the second fixing beam 3 by bolts. The setting of multiple groups of bolt holes 28 facilitates the position adjustment of the second fixing beam 3 on the first fixing beam 1 and facilitates the position adjustment of the moving frame 4 on the second fixing beam 3.

[0034] The adjustable-angle foot bracket 2 includes a hinge seat 201 and a support rod 202. The hinge seat 201 is fixed to the bottom end of the first fixed beam 1 by screws. The top end of the support rod 202 is hinged to the hinge seat 201 and can be adjusted in angle with the hinge seat 201 as the origin. A support tube 203 is slidably sleeved on the support rod 202. A support pad 204 is welded and fixed to the bottom end of the support tube 203. A positioning bolt 205 threadedly penetrates through the side wall of the support tube 203. Positioning holes 206 are equidistantly formed in the side wall of the support rod 202, and the positioning holes 206 are adapted to the positioning bolt 205. The positioning and fixing of the support rod 202 and the support tube 203 are achieved by screwing the positioning bolt 205 into the positioning holes 206.

[0035] The porous capillary flow guide plate 10 is composed of a support substrate layer 101, a gradient porous capillary layer 102, a flow guide groove network layer 103, and a micro-structured water-transporting surface layer 104. The support substrate layer 101 provides overall structural stability and mechanical strength. The gradient porous capillary layer 102 (gradient pore diameter 10 - 100 μm) is fixed to the bottom surface of the porous capillary flow guide plate 10 by sintering, has hydrophilicity, and a gradient pore diameter design for steam guiding and capillary action. The flow guide groove network layer 103 is a micro-machined groove structure that guides the condensate water to flow unidirectionally to the drain and is etched on the bottom surface of the gradient porous capillary layer 102. The micro-structured water-transporting surface layer 104 is a thin film coated on the bottom surface of the flow guide groove network layer 103 and has a water-repellent surface coating to promote the aggregation and rolling of the condensate water and avoid steam retention. The porous capillary flow guide plate 10 of this embodiment is arranged between the seawater evaporation chamber 12 and the condensation chamber 13 and is a key functional component for realizing the coupling of the evaporation-transport-condensation three-phase flow. The support substrate layer 101, the gradient porous capillary layer 102, the flow guide groove network layer 103, and the micro-structured water-transporting surface layer 104 are designed in cooperation, and the specific functions are as follows: The gradient porosity structure of the gradient porous capillary layer 102 (the pore diameter gradually decreases from the evaporation side to the condensation side): Utilize the larger pores to improve the heat conductivity, accelerate the evaporation of the liquid-phase seawater, the decreasing pore diameter forms a steam directional migration path, reduce the random diffusion and re-condensation phenomena, reduce the steam residence time in the channel, and improve the steam migration rate. The micro-structured three-dimensional path of the micro-structured water-transporting surface layer 104 guides the steam flow to the condensation area: The surface micro-nano scale structure combines hydrophilic / hydrophobic regulation to generate a directional diffusion gradient, improve the steam transport efficiency by reducing the interfacial friction resistance, and prevent steam escape. Efficient collection of condensate: After the steam enters the upper layer of the gradient porous capillary layer 102, it quickly condenses into liquid water, and the micro-structured water-transporting surface layer 104 prompts the water droplets to roll and enter the bottom flow guide groove.

[0036] Synergistic derivation of condensate by gravity and capillary action: The inclined porous capillary diversion plate 10 allows water to flow by gravity to the drainage end; The diversion groove combined with the microporous channel enhances the capillary siphon effect to achieve energy-free liquid drainage; Prevent water droplets from staying and hindering subsequent condensation, and improve the continuous water production efficiency; Evaporation enthalpy reduction mechanism: The evaporation enthalpy of water molecules is reduced through the confinement effect (nanoscale confinement) to improve the low-temperature evaporation efficiency; Without increasing the hot-end temperature, the evaporation rate is accelerated to achieve full utilization of low-grade waste heat; Phase change heat management: A large number of gas-liquid contact surfaces in the porous structure improve the heat transfer efficiency per unit area; The heat flow is evenly distributed through the porous matrix to relieve local overheating or condensation hysteresis.

[0037] Heat flow coupling with the thermoelectric cooling system: The heat at the hot end heats the water body through the porous diversion plate to drive evaporation; A triple-coupling path of cold-end refrigeration, hot-end heat supply, and evaporation-condensation of the diversion plate is achieved.
