After a period of time, the second drive motor drives forward, and uses the second spiral blade to scrape off the crystalline salt adhered to the inner wall of the second heat collecting tube, and finally outputs the crystalline salt through the third pipeline.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: (1) In the axial flow technology of the present invention for solar thermal salt collection and Fresnel salt collection, first, the saline water is subjected to solar thermal salt collection to reach a set temperature and undergo primary crystallization to obtain viscous crystalline salt. The obtained viscous crystalline salt is then sent to the Fresnel salt collection for secondary crystallization, enabling the saline water to salt crystallization to achieve single-end entry and single-end output, reducing the original water-vapor-thermal three-phase separation process, and the structure is simpler; the saline water crystallization process is gradually heated, and the temperature is higher than that of a single solar thermal salt collection system or Fresnel salt collection system, making the saline water crystallization process more efficient; realizing low-energy water-salt resource collection of saline water and solving the problems of high energy consumption and low efficiency in the existing evaporation crystallization of saline water; (2) The solenoid valve is used to connect the solar thermal salt collection module and the Fresnel salt collection module in series to form an axial flow structure, and in cooperation with the first spiral scraper mechanism and the second spiral scraper mechanism, it can stir and quickly send out the crystalline salt of the solar thermal salt collection module and stir and quickly send out the crystalline salt of the Fresnel salt collection module respectively. Stirring in the Fresnel salt collection module enables the re-crystallization of the crystalline salt after primary crystallization to obtain sufficient and rapid secondary crystallization, with higher crystallization efficiency; (3) The steam is collected by the heat exchanger to preheat the saline water. The preheated saline water enters the solar thermal salt collection module for primary crystallization, reducing the heating time of the saline water, shortening the crystallization time, further improving the crystallization efficiency and realizing energy recovery; (4) The first vacuum tube is provided with a unidirectional light coating layer and a heat insulation coating layer, which can achieve the aggregation of light and reduce heat dissipation, improving the energy utilization rate of light; the first spiral scraper mechanism can ensure that the driving motor drives the solar thermal salt collection auger to rotate to send out the crystalline salt while passing the material; (5) The first spiral blade with an L-shaped cross-section promotes the stirring effect during the evaporation crystallization of saline water, and can better roll and drive the transportation of crystalline salt (or salt viscous liquid) when the re-crystallized salt is output. Moreover, the L-shaped spiral blade has higher rigidity and strength, higher rotational stability, and the L-shaped structure is also more conducive to stirring and transporting after the production of crystalline salt; (6) The second heat collection tube is installed with a spiral heat conductor, which, in cooperation with Fresnel heating, makes the second heat collection tube more evenly heated, with a higher temperature, faster crystallization, higher efficiency, and more stable crystallization; (7) The trapezoidal second spiral blade, compared with the rectangular blade, increases the contact area of the crystalline salt, and uses the propelling effect of the trapezoidal inclined surface to further improve the propelling process of the crystalline salt. The sharp blade at the small end of the trapezoid can also be used to increase the scraping force of the blade on the crystalline salt adhered to the inner wall of the second heat collection tube; (8) Through the output valve, the crystallized salt can be conveyed into the salt collection tank through the second spiral blade, which is convenient for collection and then transportation. The first rotary motor, the second rotary motor, and the third rotary motor form an orthogonal RRR three-axis transmission system. Compared with the RR two-axis transmission system of the solar thermal salt collection system or the Fresnel salt collection system, the light tracking is more accurate, greatly improving the utilization efficiency of solar energy. (9) Placing the focus of the reflector on the central axis of the first heat collection tube, or the focal length of the linear Fresnel convex mirror on the central axis of the second heat collection tube, can maximize the heating effect and improve the utilization of light energy. (10) The usage method of the brine crystallization system: Preheat the brine to 60°C - 80°C through a heat exchanger and then enter the first heat collection tube of the solar thermal salt collection module to be heated to 85°C - 160°C for primary crystallization. After reaching the set time, it is sent into the second heat collection tube to be heated to above 200°C for crystallization, which can improve the crystallization efficiency and energy utilization rate. (11) This system can utilize the solar light resources in nature and drive the heat collection method through the natural force of radiant energy to collect, evaporate, condense, and recycle the water in the brine resources; concentrate, crystallize, and collect the salt in the brine resources, realizing the water-salt resource treatment of the brine resources, providing beneficial technical support for the treatment of saline-alkali land in arid areas and brine in coastal areas of our country. In summary, the present invention uses the axial flow cascade technical means of heat exchangers, solar thermal salt collection, and Fresnel salt collection, and condenses and recovers the brine vapor to achieve low-energy consumption water-salt resource collection of brine. It solves the problems of high energy consumption and low efficiency in the existing brine evaporation and crystallization. Compared with a single solar thermal salt collection system or a Fresnel salt collection system, it has the following advantages: ① Through the axial flow cascade technology, the brine to salt crystallization realizes single-end entry and single-end output, reducing the original water-vapor-heat three-phase separation process, and the structure is simpler. ② Adopting the axial flow cascade structure, the brine crystallization process is gradually heated, and the temperature is higher than that of a single solar thermal salt collection system or a Fresnel salt collection system, making the brine crystallization process more efficient. ③ Compared with the Fresnel salt collection system, a spiral heat conductor and a vacuum tube are added outside the second heat collection tube, making the second heat collection tube more evenly heated and the temperature higher. ④ The first rotary motor, the second rotary motor, and the third rotary motor are newly added to form an orthogonal RRR three-axis transmission system. Compared with the RR two-axis transmission system of the solar thermal salt collection system or the Fresnel salt collection system, the light tracking is more accurate, greatly improving the utilization efficiency of solar energy. ⑤ The L-shaped first spiral blade is newly added to promote the stirring effect during the brine evaporation and crystallization process, and can better drive the transportation of the recrystallized salt (or salt viscous liquid) during the output of the recrystallized salt. ⑥The newly added trapezoidal second spiral blade increases the contact area of the crystal salt compared with the rectangular blade. By utilizing the propelling effect of the inclined surface of the trapezoid, the propelling process of the crystal salt is further improved. Additionally, the sharp cutting edge at the small end of the trapezoid can be used to increase the scraping force of the blade on the crystal salt adhered to the inner wall of the second heat collecting pipe.

The first driving motor reversely drives the solar thermal salt collection auger to stir the brine, so that the brine is evenly heated. The temperature of the brine reaches 85°C - 160°C, promoting the evaporation of water in the brine, and discharging the steam through the second pipeline to the heat exchanger, where the newly entered brine is preheated and the steam is condensed inside the heat exchanger. After a period of time, the first driving motor rotates forward, and the first rotating blade of the solar thermal salt collection auger is used to scrape and convey the viscous crystal salt crystallized inside and on the inner wall of the first heat collecting pipe; the solenoid valve is opened, and the solar thermal salt collection auger outputs the viscous crystal salt to the Fresnel salt collection module. With the assistance of the linear Fresnel mirror, the second vacuum tube, and the spiral heat conductor, the internal temperature of the second heat collecting pipe reaches above 200°C, and the air pressure is 80 kPa. The second driving motor reversely drives the Fresnel salt collection auger to stir the viscous crystal salt, promoting the secondary heating evaporation of the viscous crystal salt. After a period of time, the second driving motor drives forward, and the second spiral blade is used to scrape off the crystal salt adhered to the inner wall of the second heat collecting pipe, and finally the crystal salt is output through the third pipeline.

[0034] The usage method of the brine crystallization system preheats the brine to 60°C - 80°C through a heat exchanger and then enters the first heat collecting pipe of the solar thermal salt collection module to be heated to 85°C - 160°C for primary crystallization.
