Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of seawater vapor separation technology, specifically to a vapor-water separation device and system for seawater desalination. Background Technology

[0002] During ocean voyages, ships are usually equipped with seawater desalination devices to produce potable fresh water from seawater during the voyage.

[0003] Existing seawater desalination processes mostly employ distillation, which involves first filtering the seawater, then vaporizing it, collecting the steam, and then re-condensing it to filter and purify the seawater.

[0004] However, existing desalination devices require heating for vaporization during steam-water separation. Since seawater contains a large amount of inorganic salt impurities, these impurities remain on the heating device after vaporization, causing it to gradually thicken and affecting heating quality. Furthermore, existing vaporization devices are difficult to adjust for heating and vaporization efficiency, resulting in energy waste during the vaporization process. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] Please see Figures 1 to 5 The present invention provides a technical solution:

[0028] A steam-water separation device for seawater desalination includes a separation tank 1. A treatment chamber 5 for filtering seawater is provided on one side of the inner cavity of the separation tank 1. An inlet 2 is provided at the upper end of the treatment chamber 5. A filter assembly is provided in the inner cavity of the treatment chamber 5. A sieve layer 4 with sieve holes is provided on the upper layer of the filter assembly. A multi-layer filter layer 3 filled with activated carbon is provided on the lower layer of the filter assembly.

[0029] Seawater is introduced into the separation tank 1 through the inlet 2. Large particles of impurities in the seawater are filtered by the sieve layer 4, and suspended impurities in the seawater are absorbed by the filter layer 3.

[0030] The other side of the separation chamber 1 is set as a heating chamber 6. The lower end of the processing chamber 5 is connected to the upper end of the heating chamber 6. A water pump 31 is installed at the lower end of the processing chamber 5, and a nozzle 11 is installed at the upper end of the heating chamber 6. The nozzle 11 is connected to the water pump 31 through a connecting pipe 30. The lower end of the nozzle 11 is directly opposite the heating plate 15.

[0031] The filtered seawater is transported to the nozzle 11 by the water pump 31, and the seawater is sprayed onto the heating plate 15 by the nozzle 11 to achieve the purpose of heating and vaporization.

[0032] A lifting inner cavity 12 is vertically arranged between the heating inner cavity 6 and the processing inner cavity 5. A screw 13 is vertically threaded and rotatably installed in the lifting inner cavity 12. A screw hole 26 is provided at the upper end of the lifting inner cavity 12. The upper end of the screw 13 extends to the outside of the lifting inner cavity 12. An external thread 27 is provided on the screw 13 to rotate with the screw hole 26.

[0033] The height of screw 13 can be adjusted by rotating the screw 13 through the screw hole 26.

[0034] Multiple sets of horizontal plates 18 are elastically sleeved on the screw 13 at intervals. Multiple sets of fixing rings 19 and supporting rings 22 are fixedly distributed at intervals on the outer wall of the screw 13. The fixing rings 19 and supporting rings 22 are located at the upper and lower ends of the horizontal plates 18, respectively. A long oval groove 23 is vertically provided through the horizontal plate 18. The long oval groove 23 is sleeved on the outside of the screw 13. A first spring 20 is provided at the upper end of the long oval groove 23. The first spring 20 is pressed between the upper end face of the horizontal plate 18 and the fixing rings 19. The width of the long oval groove 23 is smaller than the outer diameter of the first spring 20, the supporting rings 22 and the fixing rings 19, and the length of the long oval groove 23 is greater than the outer diameter of the screw 13.

[0035] The first spring 20 enables the elastic installation of the horizontal plate 18. When the screw 13 is raised or lowered, the support plate 22 drives the horizontal plate 18 to rotate, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the heating plate 15 in the heating cavity 6. The angle adjustment controls the contact area between the seawater and the heating plate 15, thereby controlling the vaporization rate and making it compatible with other processes such as condensation and filtration.

[0036] Multiple sets of rotating seats 14, corresponding one-to-one with the horizontal plate 18, are provided between the lifting inner cavity 12 and the heating inner cavity 6. The horizontal plate 18 is provided with insertion holes 29 that fit into the rotating seats 14. The heating plate 15 is inclined and fixed at the end of the horizontal plate 18 extending to the heating inner cavity 6. The heating plate 15 is provided with heating resistance wire inside and multiple sets of through holes 28 arranged in a matrix on the heating plate 15.

[0037] The horizontal plate 18 is rotated and installed by means of the swivel base 14, and the contact area between the seawater and the heating plate 15 is increased by means of the through hole 28, thereby improving the vaporization efficiency.

[0038] A heating plate 15 extending into the heating cavity 6 is provided on one side of the horizontal plate 18, and a partition 9 is vertically provided on the other side of the heating cavity 6. Multiple sets of through holes 10 are provided on the partition 9 in a linear distribution. A steam vent 7 connecting the outer cavity of the partition 9 is provided on the side wall of the separation box 1.

[0039] The seawater is separated by the baffle 9 to prevent seawater from being sprayed onto the exhaust port 7, which would cause the steam to come into contact with the seawater again, thus improving the purity of the seawater desalination process. At the same time, the steam generated is allowed to overflow through the through hole 10 and be discharged through the exhaust port 7.

[0040] A pull rope 25 is vertically and elastically installed on the partition plate 9. A scraper 21 is slidably sleeved on the upper end face of the heating plate 15. Slide grooves 16 are provided on the front and rear side walls of the heating plate 15. The two ends of the scraper 21 are slidably installed on the slide grooves 16. The middle section of the scraper 21 is attached to the upper end face of the heating plate 15. The sliding installation of the scraper 21 is achieved through the slide grooves 16.

[0041] The scraper 21 is connected to the pull rope 25 via the traction rope 17. The pull rope 25 is installed vertically along the partition 9. One end of the traction rope 17 is fixedly tied to the pull rope 25. One end of the pull rope 25 extends to the upper outer side of the separation box 1. A pull ring 8 is provided at the end of the pull rope 25. A second spring 24 is sleeved on the pull rope 25. The second spring 24 is pressed between the upper outer wall of the separation box 1 and the pull ring 8.

[0042] The synchronous linkage between the rotation of the heating plate 15 and the sliding of the scraper 21 is achieved through the cooperation of the pull rope 25 and the traction rope 17.

[0043] Working principle: The height of the screw 13 is adjusted by rotating the screw 13 through the screw hole 26. When the screw 13 is raised or lowered, the support plate 22 drives the horizontal plate 18 to rotate, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the heating plate 15 in the heating cavity 6. The angle adjustment controls the contact area between the seawater and the heating plate 15, thereby controlling the vaporization rate and making it compatible with other processes such as vaporization, condensation and filtration.

[0044] During the descent of the screw 13, the first spring 20 drives the horizontal plate 18 to deflect downward, which increases the distance between the scraper 21 and the partition 9 during the deflection process. This causes the traction rope 17 to pull the pull rope 25 downward, and the pull rope 25 presses down, causing the second spring 24 to be squeezed.

[0045] During the upward movement of the screw 13, the heating plate 15 rotates upward. During the rotation, the second spring 24 returns to its original position. Using the elastic force of the second spring 24, the scraper 21 slides synchronously on the heating plate 15 in coordination with the pull rope 25 and the traction rope 17. As the scraper 21 slides, it removes the adhering impurities and scale, ensuring the heating efficiency of the heating plate 15.

[0046] When the angle of a single rotation is small, the pull ring 8 can be used to drive the pull rope 25, thereby increasing the sliding length of the scraper 21 and ensuring sufficient scraping and cleaning of the heating plate 15.

[0047] A steam-water separation system for seawater desalination includes steam-water separation equipment for seawater desalination.
