[0029] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] like Figures 1-10 As shown, the present invention discloses a device for cleaning and recycling finished water from seawater desalination, including a desalination mechanism 1, which is in multiple numbers and is connected to each other. A water inlet pipe 2 is provided at the top of the desalination mechanism 1, and the water inlet pipe 2 is used to transport brine to the desalination mechanism 1. The desalination mechanism 1 is used to evaporate the brine at low temperature and multi-effect to form distilled water. A cleaning and recycling mechanism 3 is provided at the bottom of the desalination mechanism 1. The cleaning and recycling mechanism 3 uses the distilled water in the desalination mechanism 1 to clean the desalination mechanism 1 when the desalination mechanism 1 is shut down. It should be noted that when the seawater desalination operation is performed through the device for cleaning and recycling finished water from seawater desalination, pretreated seawater is provided to the desalination mechanism 1 through the water inlet pipe 2. After the seawater enters the desalination mechanism 1, it will evaporate in the desalination mechanism 1 to form steam. Usually, multiple desalination mechanisms 1 are connected in series. In this way, the steam formed in the first desalination mechanism 1 will enter the second desalination mechanism 1, exchange heat with the seawater in the second desalination mechanism 1, and form distilled mist from the seawater in the second desalination mechanism 1. This process is repeated in multiple desalination mechanisms 1. The desalination mechanism 1 is usually set to three to five. The specific number of desalination mechanisms 1 connected in series is adaptively selected by technical personnel in this field according to the specifications of the desalination mechanism 1. When the desalination mechanism 1 stops working, the distilled water in the desalination mechanism 1 is used to clean the desalination mechanism 1 through the cleaning and reuse mechanism 3. Specifically, the high liquid level of the finished water in the desalination mechanism 1 is maintained and not discharged. It is used as a standby for cleaning water. Then, after the brine in the desalination mechanism 1 is drained, the desalination mechanism 1 is cleaned with the high liquid level finished water, thereby reducing the maintenance and cleaning costs of seawater desalination.

[0032] Example 2

[0033] like Figures 1-8As shown, the desalination mechanism 1 includes a desalination tank body 11, one end of the desalination tank body 11 is connected to a first docking end cover 12, the other end of the desalination tank body 11 is connected to a second docking end cover 13, the bottom surface of the desalination tank body 11 is fixedly connected to a brine discharge pipe 14, the bottom surface of the second docking end cover 13 is fixedly connected to a finished water discharge pipe 15, and a heat exchanger 16 is provided on the inner side of the desalination tank body 11. It should be noted that the first docking end cover 12 is used to provide high-temperature steam to the heat exchanger 16 inside the desalination tank body 11, so that the interior of the heat exchanger 16 will be filled with high-temperature steam, and the bottom end of the water inlet pipe 2 is fixedly connected to a brine nozzle 21, which is arranged on the top of the heat exchanger 16. When the water inlet When the pipe 2 inputs brine into the interior of the desalination tank 11, the brine nozzle 21 will evenly spray the brine on the heat exchanger 16. In this way, after the brine contacts the heat exchanger 16, it will exchange heat with the high-temperature steam inside the heat exchanger 16, causing the brine to evaporate and form steam. The steam will enter the first docking end cover 12 corresponding to another desalination tank 11 through the second docking end cover 13, so that the steam can be recycled between multiple desalination tanks 11, thereby improving energy utilization. The evaporated and concentrated brine will flow down the heat exchanger 16 and be discharged through the brine discharge pipe 14, and the finished water formed after condensation of the steam in the heat exchanger 16 will be discharged through the finished water discharge pipe 15, thereby realizing the desalination of the brine.

[0034] The heat exchanger 16 includes two fixed plates 161, and a plurality of heat exchange tubes 162 are fixedly connected to the middle position between the two fixed plates 161. It should be noted that the fixed plates 161 are respectively fixed to the ends of the desalination tank body 11, separating the inner cavity of the desalination tank body 11 from the inner cavities of the first docking end cover 12 and the second docking end cover 13. One end of the heat exchange tube 162 is connected to the inner cavity of the first docking end cover 12, and the other end of the heat exchange tube 162 is connected to the inner cavity of the second docking end cover 13. In this way, the steam in the inner cavity of the first docking end cover 12 can enter the second docking end cover 13 after passing through the heat exchange tube 162. On this side of the end cover 13, a guide end cover 17 is provided inside the second docking end cover 13 near the outlet of the heat exchange tube 162 for conducting steam and finished water. In the process of steam passing through the heat exchange tube 162, it can perform heat exchange operation with the brine outside the heat exchange tube 162, so that the brine outside the heat exchange tube 162 evaporates to form steam, and the concentrated brine falls from the heat exchange tube 162 under the action of gravity, and finally gathers at the bottom of the desalination tank 11. The heat exchange tube 162 is evenly distributed between the two fixed plates 161 and is made of metal, which improves the heat exchange effect of the heat exchange tube 162.

[0035] A guide tube 164 is fixedly connected to the bottom position between the two fixed plates 161 shown. It should be noted that one end of the guide tube 164 is connected to the inner cavity of the first docking end cover 12, and the other end of the guide tube 164 is connected to the inner cavity of the second docking end cover 13. In this way, after the steam in the first docking end cover 12 forms finished water, it can flow through the guide tube 164 to the guide end cover 17 inside the second docking end cover 13, and be collected by the guide end cover 17. It should be noted that the guide tube 164 is at the lowest position of the inner cavity of the first docking end cover 12, and the guide tube 164 as a whole can be tilted toward one end of the guide end cover 17, which helps the flow of finished water in the guide tube 164. Due to the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, the height of the heat exchange tube 162 is higher than the height of the guide tube 164. Therefore, high-temperature steam will enter the heat exchange tube 162, and low-temperature steam and finished water will enter the guide tube 164, so it will not affect the effect of the steam in the first docking end cover 12.

[0036] A cylindrical hole 163 is provided at the top of the fixing plate 161 near the second docking end cover 13. It should be noted that the steam evaporated in the condenser 162 will enter the inner cavity of the second docking end cover 13 through the cylindrical hole 163, and then be transported by the second docking end cover 13 to the first docking end cover 12 corresponding to the other desalination tank body 11.

[0037] Example 3

[0038] like Figures 1-10 As shown, the cleaning and reuse mechanism 3 includes a brine docking pipe 31 and a finished water docking pipe 32. The brine docking pipe 31 is connected to the brine discharge pipe 14, and the finished water docking pipe 32 is connected to the finished water discharge pipe 15. The middle part of the brine docking pipe 31 is connected to a brine branch pipe 310, and the end of the brine branch pipe 310 is provided with a first branch valve 313. It should be noted that since the brine docking pipe 31 is connected to the brine discharge pipe 14, the concentrated brine in the brine discharge pipe 14 can directly enter the brine docking pipe 31 and be discharged by the brine docking pipe 31, ensuring that the concentrated brine will not accumulate in the desalination tank 11. Since the finished water docking pipe 32 is connected to the finished water discharge pipe 15, the finished water in the finished water discharge pipe 15 can directly enter the finished water docking pipe 32, and the finished water is collected by the finished water docking pipe 32 for subsequent treatment.

[0039] The bottom end of the brine docking pipe 31 is connected to the brine pump 33, the bottom surface of the brine pump 33 is connected to the first motor 331, and the output end of the brine pump 33 is connected to the brine discharge valve 35. It should be noted that the brine docking pipe 31 can transport concentrated brine to the interior of the brine pump 33. An impeller is provided inside the brine pump 33, and the output shaft of the first motor 331 is directly fixedly connected to the impeller inside the brine pump 33. When in use, turn on the first motor 331, and the output shaft of the first motor 331 can directly drive the impeller to rotate at high speed. The high-speed rotating impeller can make the concentrated brine entering the brine pump 33 generate centrifugal force, and then be transported to the brine discharge valve 35 through the pipe, and finally discharged by the brine discharge valve 35.

[0040] The bottom end of the finished water docking pipe 32 is connected to a distilled water pump 34, the bottom surface of the distilled water pump 34 is connected to a second motor 341, and the output end of the distilled water pump 34 is connected to a main control valve 36. It should be noted that the finished water docking pipe 32 can directly transport the finished water to the interior of the distilled water pump 34. An impeller is provided inside the distilled water pump 34, and the output shaft of the second motor 341 is directly fixedly connected to the impeller inside the distilled water pump 34. When in use, turn on the second motor 341, and the output shaft of the second motor 341 can directly drive the impeller inside the distilled water pump 34 to rotate at high speed. The high-speed rotating impeller can make the finished water entering the distilled water pump 34 generate centrifugal force, and then be transported to the main control valve 36 through the pipeline, and then transported to the subsequent processing process by the main control valve 36.

[0041] The end of the main control valve 36 away from the distilled water pump 34 is connected to a forked pipe 37, and the end of the forked pipe 37 is provided with a finished water discharge valve 38 and a finished water recovery valve 39. A distilled water branch 311 is provided between the forked pipe 37 and the finished water discharge valve 38. It should be noted that in the process of collecting finished water, the finished water discharge valve 38 can be closed and the finished water recovery valve 39 can be opened. In this way, the main control valve 36 can transport the finished water to the finished water recovery valve 39 through the forked pipe 37, and the finished water recovery valve 39 collects the finished water. It should be noted that both the finished water discharge valve 38 and the finished water recovery valve 39 can use solenoid valves, which can be remotely controlled by technical personnel.

[0042] A second branch valve 314 is provided in the middle of the distilled water branch 311, and a recycling pipe 312 is provided between the distilled water branch 311 and the brine branch 310. It should be noted that when the desalination mechanism 1 stops running, the finished water discharge valve 38 and the finished water recovery valve 39 are first closed at the same time, so that the finished water accumulates on the inner side of the guide end cover 17 to form a high liquid level, and at the same time the concentrated brine in the desalination tank 11 is emptied through the brine discharge valve 35, and then the brine discharge valve 35 is closed, and the valve in the recycling pipe 312 and the second motor 341 are opened at the same time, so that the finished water can enter the recycling pipe 312. The brine docking pipe 31 is entered once to clean the concentrated brine pipeline on one side of the brine docking pipe 31, that is, the high-liquid-level finished water is used to clean the desalination mechanism 1, thereby reducing the maintenance and cleaning costs of seawater desalination. After the cleaning of the pipe points on one side of the brine docking pipe 31 is completed, the return pipe 312 is closed, and then the first motor 331 and the brine discharge valve 35 are opened to drain the cleaning water on one side of the brine docking pipe 31. This completes the cleaning of one side of the brine docking pipe 31 and drains the finished water on the side of the distilled water docking pipe 32, thereby ensuring the maintenance and cleaning of the desalination mechanism 1.

[0043] The above is a detailed description of an embodiment of the present invention. However, the content described is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and should not be considered to limit the scope of the present invention. All equivalent changes and improvements made within the scope of the present invention should still fall within the scope of the patent coverage of the present invention.
