Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of sustainable utilization of water resources, and particularly to a device for sustainable utilization of water resources in desert areas. Background Art
[0002] A desert is a specific natural geographical area on the earth, mainly composed of large continuous arid zones. Due to the distance from the ocean and the obstruction of mountains in these areas, the precipitation is scarce, and it is difficult for vegetation to grow, thus forming vast sandy lands, gobi deserts and bare rock surfaces.
[0003] After retrieval, the invention patent with the Chinese patent number CN116084502A discloses a method for constructing a sustainable water resource utilization system in desert areas. Compared with the prior art, the invention patent with the Chinese patent number CN116084502A includes a water collector, a water storage tank and an infiltration irrigation module; the water collector collects water resources obtained through atmospheric precipitation and water vapor condensation, transfers the water to the water storage tank and the infiltration irrigation module after primary filtration; the water storage tank stores water resources exceeding the required amount of the infiltration irrigation module, and this water resource is used as backup irrigation water for farmland during drought; the infiltration irrigation module is arranged at specific positions of farmland and forests through underground pipelines to supplement water resources for crops and sand-fixing plants in a timely manner; the water collector, the water storage tank and the infiltration irrigation module are connected through underground pipelines; this system can ensure the power supply and consumption balance of the water collection part in the system, effectively recover the water from atmospheric precipitation and water vapor condensation, apply it to the infiltration irrigation system, save water while collecting water, and can also adjust the water reflux according to the actual water use situation, achieving the sustainable utilization of water resources in desert areas to the greatest extent, and can also reduce the exploitation of groundwater and protect the environment.
[0004] However, in the actual use process of the above device, a collector is used to collect rainwater and water resources obtained through water vapor condensation in the desert. However, in desert areas, due to strong and frequent winds, the exposed water collector is extremely vulnerable to the invasion of dust, sand and withered grass in the wind. These impurities will accumulate on the surface and inside of the water collector, gradually blocking its collection channels, resulting in a significant decline in the collection efficiency of rainwater and water vapor condensation. Therefore, a device for sustainable utilization of water resources in desert areas is proposed. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problem that the exposed water collector in the prior art is extremely vulnerable to the invasion of dust, sand and withered grass in the wind. These impurities will accumulate on the surface and inside of the water collector, gradually blocking its collection channels, resulting in a significant decline in the collection efficiency of rainwater and water vapor condensation, and to propose a device for sustainable utilization of water resources in desert areas.
[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:
[0007] A device for sustainable utilization of water resources in desert areas, including a collection box. The lower part of the collection box is symmetrically and fixedly connected with insertion rods. One end of the collection box away from the insertion rods is fixedly connected with a first collector. A closing component is arranged on the collection box. The closing component includes a plurality of closing plates and bevel gears movably connected to the upper part of the collection box, and a first gear and an annular gear rotatably connected to the upper part of the collection box. The forward and reverse rotation of the first gear drives the annular gear to rotate forward and reverse. The forward and reverse rotation of the annular gear simultaneously drives a plurality of bevel gears to rotate. The rotation of the bevel gears drives a plurality of closing plates to rotate simultaneously, realizing the simultaneous opening and closing of the plurality of closing plates on the first collector. The opened closing plates can expand the range of rainwater collected by the first collector.
[0008] A water collection component is arranged on the collection box. The water collection component includes a second collector and a collection groove fixedly connected to the outside of the collection box, and a sealing plate movably connected to the outside of the collection box. Due to the large day-night temperature difference in the desert, the second collector contacts the water vapor in the air at night in the desert and condenses into liquid water. The liquid water condenses on the bottom surface of the second collector and flows to the collection groove through the inclined surface of the second collector, so that the water collected in the collection groove is stored inside the collection box. The rotating first gear drives the sealing plate to move downward to be connected with the second collector and the collection box, so that the second collector collects rainwater again during the rain. Through the connection of the sealing plate, the rainwater flows into the collection box for storage.
[0009] The above technical solution further includes:
[0010] A limiting ring is fixedly connected to the side of the first collector away from the collection box. A plurality of limiting blocks are fixedly connected to the outside of the limiting ring. The bevel gear is movably connected with the limiting blocks. The limiting blocks are evenly distributed on the limiting ring, and the bevel gear restricts the positions of the limiting blocks.
[0011] The annular gear is movably connected with the limiting ring and slidably connected with the limiting blocks. A plurality of cylindrical pins are fixedly connected to the side of the annular gear close to the closing plate. The cylindrical pins are meshed with the bevel gears. The limiting ring restricts the movement range of the annular gear, and the rotation of the annular gear drives the rotation of the bevel gears through the cylindrical pins.
[0012] A support plate is fixedly connected to the outside of the limiting ring. A motor is fixedly connected to the upper part of the support plate. The end of the output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected with a rotating rod. The rotating rod is fixedly connected with the first gear. The first gear is meshed with the annular gear. The start of the motor drives the rotation of the rotating rod, and the rotation of the rotating rod drives the rotation of the first gear.
[0013] One side of the limiting ring close to the closing plate is fixedly connected with a sealing shell. An elastic rubber is fixedly connected to the upper part of the sealing shell. The elastic rubber is fixedly connected to the closing plate. The side of the closing plate away from the first collector is fixedly connected to the solar panel. The closing plate is fixedly connected to the helical gear. The sealing shell seals the cylindrical pin to prevent sand from entering the cylindrical pin.
[0014] One end of the rotating rod away from the motor is fixedly connected with a second pulley. A U-shaped block is fixedly connected to the outside of the collection box. A first pulley is rotatably connected inside the U-shaped block. A belt is sleeved between the first pulley and the second pulley. The rotation of the rotating rod drives the second pulley at the end to rotate accordingly.
[0015] A threaded rod is rotatably connected to the outside of the U-shaped block. The threaded rod is fixedly connected to the first pulley. The threaded rod is threadedly connected to the sealing plate. The rotation of the second pulley drives the rotation of the first pulley through the belt, and the first pulley drives the threaded rod to rotate.
[0016] A limiting rod is fixedly connected to the outside of the first collector. The sealing plate is slidably connected to the limiting rod. The limiting rod restricts the sealing plate, so that the sealing plate slides on the limiting rod through the rotation of the threaded rod.
[0017] A filtering device is fixedly connected to the outside of the collection box. A plurality of water inlet holes are opened inside the collection box. The filtering device blocks external impurities, and rainwater is discharged into the collection box through the water inlet holes.
[0018] The collection trough is fixedly connected to the second collector. Connecting pipes are symmetrically and fixedly connected to the outside of the collection trough. One end of each of the two connecting pipes away from the collection trough is fixedly connected to the collection box. The water collected inside the collection trough flows into the collection box through the connecting pipes.
[0019] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0020] 1. In the present invention, multiple closing plates in the closing assembly can open and close the first collector simultaneously, realizing that when it rains, the closing plates open to expand the range of rainwater collected by the first collector, and at the same time, when it does not rain, the closing plates tightly seal the first collector to avoid sand and wind invasion, reducing the blockage of impurities in the wind to the first collector, and preventing the significant decline of the water collection efficiency caused by the blockage of the first collector.
[0021] 2. In the present invention, due to the large temperature difference between day and night in the desert, the second collector in the water collection assembly contacts the water vapor in the air at night in the desert and condenses into liquid water, which is collected in the collection tank. The distance between the opening of the collection tank and the bottom surface of the second collector is small, reducing the contact range with the outside world and preventing impurities in the wind from entering the collection tank and causing blockage. Thus, additional water resources are collected, further improving the efficiency and benefit of the sustainable utilization of water resources. Moreover, through the linkage with the sealing assembly, when it rains, the connection between the collection box and the second collector is made through the sealing plate, improving the rainwater collection efficiency on rainy days. And the movement of the sealing plate reduces the accumulation of impurities in the wind on the second collector, improving the benefit of the second collector in collecting rainwater on rainy days.

The forward and reverse rotation of the first gear 15 drives the annular gear 25 to rotate forward and backward accordingly. The forward and reverse rotation of the annular gear 25 simultaneously drives a plurality of bevel gears 27 to rotate. The rotation of the bevel gears 27 drives a plurality of closing plates 21 to rotate simultaneously, realizing the simultaneous opening and closing of the plurality of closing plates 21 on the first collector 2. The opened closing plates 21 can expand the range of rainwater collected by the first collector 2.
[0033] A water collection component is provided on the collection box 1. The water collection component includes a second collector 3 and a collection groove 6 fixedly connected to the outside of the collection box 1, and a sealing plate 5 movably connected to the outside of the collection box 1. Due to the large day-night temperature difference in the desert, the second collector 3 contacts the water vapor in the air at night in the desert and condenses into liquid water. The liquid water condenses on the bottom surface of the second collector 3 and flows to the collection groove 6 through the inclined surface of the second collector 3, so that the water collected in the collection groove 6 is stored inside the collection box 1. The rotating first gear 15 drives the sealing plate 5 to move downward to connect with the second collector 3 and the collection box 1, enabling the second collector 3 to collect rainwater again during the rain.

The closing plate 21 is fixedly connected to the helical gear 27. The sealing shell 23 seals the cylindrical pins 28 to prevent sand from entering the cylindrical pins 28.
[0038] In this embodiment, the whole device is fixed on the ground through the insertion rod 4, the solar panel 20 supplies power to the motor 16, and the water pipe at the bottom of the collection box 1 is connected to the reservoir and the drip irrigation pipe. When it rains, the start of the motor 16 drives the rotating rod 14 to rotate forward and backward. The rotation of the rotating rod 14 drives the rotation of the first gear 15. The rotation of the first gear 15 drives the rotation of the ring gear 25. The rotation of the ring gear 25 makes the cylindrical pins 28 rotate accordingly. The rotation of the cylindrical pins 28 meshes with the helical gear 27, so that the helical gear 27 drives a plurality of closing plates 21 to open simultaneously, exposing the opening of the first collector 2 to collect rainwater. Conversely, when it does not rain, the start of the motor 16 drives the reverse rotation of the rotating rod 14, so that a plurality of closing plates 21 close the first collector 2.
[0039] Embodiment Two
[0040] As Figure 1 - Figure 7 shown, based on Embodiment One, a second belt pulley 13 is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating rod 14 away from the motor 16. A U-shaped block 12 is fixedly connected to the outside of the collection box 1. A first belt pulley 10 is rotatably connected inside the U-shaped block 12.

[0043] A filtering device 9 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the collection box 1. A plurality of water inlet holes 19 are formed in the inner side of the collection box 1. The filtering device 9 blocks external impurities, and rainwater is discharged into the collection box 1 through the water inlet holes 19.
[0044] The collection trough 6 is fixedly connected to the second collector 3. Connecting pipes 18 are symmetrically and fixedly connected to the outer side of the collection trough 6. One ends of the two connecting pipes 18 away from the collection trough 6 are fixedly connected to the collection box 1. The water collected in the collection trough 6 flows into the collection box 1 through the connecting pipes 18.
[0045] In this embodiment, through the above description, when it rains, the start of the motor 16 drives the rotation of the rotating rod 14. The rotating rod 14 drives the rotation of the first pulley 10 through the belt 11. The rotation of the first pulley 10 drives the rotation of the threaded rod 7. The sealing plate 5 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 7, so that the sealing plate 5 slides on the limiting rod 8 through the rotation of the threaded rod 7 and approaches the second collector 3. In this way, the second collector 3 and the collection box 1 are connected through the sealing plate 5. At this time, when it rains, it falls on the surface of the second collector 3 and flows into the interior of the collection box 1 through the sealing plate 5, the filtering device 9 and the water inlet holes 19. When it does not rain, the reverse rotation of the threaded rod 7 drives the sealing plate 5 to return to the original point. When it is a desert night, water vapor contacts the bottom surface of the second collector 3 and condenses into liquid water. The liquid water flows into the collection trough 6 through the inclined surface of the second collector 3. The water collected in the collection trough 6 flows into the collection box 1 through the connecting pipes 18.
