DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0040] In order to make the technical means, creative features, purposes and effects of the present application easy to understand, the present application is further described below in combination with specific embodiments.

[0041] As shown in Figures 1 to 8 , the seawater desalination energy recovery device of the present application comprises a solar heat collector 1 and a condenser 2.

[0042] The solar heat collector 1 uses vacuum heat collecting tubes to heat and evaporate the seawater therein; the condenser 2 is used to condense and collect the water vapor generated by the solar heat collector 1.

[0043] The condenser 2 is internally provided with a gas delivery pipe 3 and a water delivery pipe 4; both the gas delivery pipe 3 and the water delivery pipe 4 are designed in the shape of simulated intestinal tract; the gas delivery pipe 3 is located outside the water delivery pipe 4 and is in a wrapped state with respect to the water delivery pipe 4; the water delivery pipe 4 is made of easy heat-conducting materials such as copper, aluminum, graphite, etc.

[0044] One end of the gas delivery pipe 3 is in communication with the gas outlet 5 of the solar heat collector 1; the bottom of the gas delivery pipe 3 is in communication with a group of water collection pipes 6; the water delivery pipe 4 is provided with a water inlet head 7 and a water outlet head 8 at both ends, respectively, and both the water inlet head 7 and the water outlet head 8 penetrate the side wall of the gas delivery pipe 3; the water outlet head 8 is in communication with the water inlet of the solar heat collector 1 through a guide pipe 9.

[0045] The seawater desalination device in the prior art uses solar energy to heat and vaporize seawater, and the generated water vapor is usually directly introduced into the condenser 2 to form fresh water. A large amount of residual heat in the water vapor is not recovered and utilized. Some technologies use water vapor to exchange heat with original seawater to realize the dual functions of steam condensation and preheating of seawater. However, the heat exchange efficiency is too low, which makes it difficult to fully recover the heat in the water vapor, and energy is still wasted.

[0046] The application heats and evaporates the seawater inside the solar energy collector 1 through the vacuum heat collecting pipe, the water vapor formed enters the inside of the gas conveying pipe 3 of the condenser 2 through the gas outlet 5, accurately speaking, enters the annular cavity between the gas conveying pipe 3 and the water conveying pipe 4, and then flows along the inside of the gas conveying pipe 3, at the same time, the original seawater enters the water conveying pipe 4 through the water inlet head 7 and flows along the inside of the water conveying pipe 4, the heat of the water vapor is conducted to the seawater, so that the waste heat of the water vapor is recycled and utilized, the water vapor is condensed and the original seawater is preheated, the heating efficiency of the subsequent solar energy collector 1 on the seawater is improved, and the water vapor and the seawater flow reversely along the inside of the simulated intestinal tract type pipeline and are separated from each other, the heat exchange between the two is continuously carried out through the side wall of the water conveying pipe 4, the heat can be fully transferred from the water vapor to the seawater, the condensation, heating and energy recycling efficiency are improved, the condensed fresh water is discharged downwardly through the water collecting pipe 6 at the bottom and is collected, and the heated seawater enters the inside of the solar energy collector 1 through the water outlet head 8 of the water conveying pipe 4 and the conduit 9 to supplement the water of the solar energy collector 1.

[0047] As another embodiment of the application, the water conveying pipe 4 is rotationally connected with the rotating ring 10 at both ends; a group of inclined blades 11 are uniformly distributed on the surface of the rotating ring 10; the rotating ring 10 and the blades 11 are located inside the annular cavity formed between the gas conveying pipe 3 and the water conveying pipe 4.

[0048] When the water vapor enters the inside of the gas conveying pipe 3, the blades 11 and the rotating ring 10 can be rotated by using the airflow, and the rotating blades 11 can exert tangential force on the airflow, so that the water vapor forms a spiral motion form in the gas conveying pipe 3, the heat at different positions in the fluid can be transmitted to the seawater through the water conveying pipe 4, the condensation efficiency of the water vapor is improved, and the heating effect on the seawater is enhanced.

[0049] As another embodiment of the application, a group of copper sheets 12 are uniformly distributed between the inside of the gas conveying pipe 3 and the outside of the water conveying pipe 4; a group of drainage grooves 13 are uniformly distributed on the surface of the copper sheet 12; the drainage grooves 13 of adjacent copper sheets 12 are staggered with each other.

[0050] By arranging a plurality of copper sheets 12, the heat of the water vapor can be transmitted to the seawater through the copper sheets 12 and the water conveying pipe 4, the heat exchange area between the water vapor and the seawater is increased, the copper sheet 12 and the copper sheet 12 form a labyrinth structure, the airflow can only flow through the staggered drainage grooves 13 of the copper sheets 12, the impact, contact and heat exchange between the water vapor and the copper sheets 12 are promoted, the flow path of the airflow is lengthened, and the seawater can fully absorb the waste heat of the water vapor.

[0051] As another embodiment of the present application, the gas pipe 3 is slidingly fitted in the condenser 2; the gas outlet 5 is internally fixedly connected with a support ring 14; the end of the gas pipe 3 is in a blocking shape and is slidingly and sealingly fitted in the gas outlet 5; the support ring 14 is fixedly connected with the spring 15 between the gas pipe 3; the end of the gas pipe 3 is uniformly distributed with a group of through holes 16; the gas outlet 5 is internally provided with an annular groove 17; the water inlet head 7 and the water outlet head 8 of the water pipe 4 are elastically connected when connected with the pipeline.

[0052] Normally, the end surface of the gas pipe 3 is in a misaligned state with the annular groove 17, so that the gas in the gas outlet 5 cannot enter the inside of the gas pipe 3; when the seawater in the solar heat collector 1 is gradually heated and evaporated to a certain degree, the vapor pressure in the gas outlet 5 gradually increases, pushing the end of the gas pipe 3 to slide in the gas outlet 5, the spring 15 is deformed and elongated, until the end surface of the gas pipe 3 is aligned with the annular groove 17, and the through holes 16 and the annular groove 17 are in communication with each other, at this time, the vapor in the gas outlet 5 can enter the inside of the gas pipe 3 through the annular groove 17 and the through holes 16 and be discharged, and then the gas pressure is insufficient to maintain the deformation of the spring 15, so the spring 15 pulls the end of the gas pipe 3 to slide and reset, when the gas pressure in the gas outlet 5 increases again, the above-mentioned action is continuously repeated, so as to realize the lateral reciprocating motion of the gas pipe 3 and the water pipe 4 in the condenser 2, since a large amount of water droplets are attached to the surface of the copper sheet 12 during the condensation process, the reciprocating motion of the gas pipe 3 and the water pipe 4 can shake and shake the water droplets on the surface of the copper sheet 12, promoting the condensate to flow downward along the drainage groove 13, on the one hand, improving the collection efficiency of fresh water, on the other hand, after the water droplets on the surface of the copper sheet 12 are removed, the contact probability between the copper sheet 12 and the vapor increases, continues to provide an attachment area for the water vapor, preventing the copper sheet 12 from being covered by a large area of water droplets and affecting the heat exchange effect.

[0053] As another embodiment of the present application, the condenser 2 is fixedly connected with a group of fixed plates 18 between the gas pipes 3; the fixed plates 18 are uniformly distributed with a group of connecting ropes 19 on both sides; the connecting ropes 19 extend to the inside of the water pipe 4 and are fixedly connected with the elastic pads 20; the connecting ropes 19 penetrate through the side walls of the gas pipe 3 and the water pipe 4 and are slidingly and sealingly fitted; the elastic pads 20 are fixedly connected with the elastic members 21 between the water pipe 4.

[0054] When the gas conveying pipe 3 moves left and right relative to the water conveying pipe 4, when the gas conveying pipe 3 moves away from the fixed plate 18, the connecting rope 19 is taut, and the elastic pad 20 is deformed by the connecting rope 19, so that the bending degree of the elastic pad 20 is increased and the elastic pad 20 moves towards the axis of the water conveying pipe 4, when the gas conveying pipe 3 moves close to the fixed plate 18, the connecting rope 19 is loosened, and the elastic member 21 drives the elastic pad 20 to contract and recover, the above structure can promote the elastic pads 20 in the water conveying pipe 4 to continuously urge and contract, so as to disturb the seawater in the pipe, improve the turbulent effect of the seawater, promote the uniform distribution of seawater of different temperatures, and enhance the heating effect on the seawater.

[0055] The elastic pad 20 and the side wall of the water conveying pipe 4 form a closed space, and a plurality of guide holes 22 are uniformly distributed on the surface of the elastic pad 20.

[0056] When the elastic pad 20 urges towards the middle of the water conveying pipe 4, negative pressure is generated in the closed space, and seawater is sucked into the closed space through the guide holes 22, and when the elastic pad 20 contracts towards the side wall of the water conveying pipe 4, the seawater in the closed space is squeezed out through the guide holes 22, and the water flow is dispersed and laterally impacts the flowing seawater, promotes the seawater to laterally contact the inner wall of the water conveying pipe 4 and exchange heat with the steam, further strengthens the turbulent and mixing effect of the water flow, and improves the heat exchange rate.

[0057] As another embodiment of the present application, the water collecting pipe 6 is fixedly connected with a mounting seat 23, a guide groove 24 is formed in the middle of the mounting seat 23, a baffle 25 is hingedly connected to the lower side of the mounting seat 23 through a rotating pin, and a spring 26 is fixedly connected between the baffle 25 and the mounting seat 23.

[0058] Under normal circumstances, the baffle 25 is pulled tight by the spring 26 and adheres to the lower side of the mounting seat 23 to close the guide groove 24 and reduce the steam in the gas conveying pipe 3 from being guided downward through the water collecting pipe 6, and as the condensed water gradually accumulates at the bottom of the gas conveying pipe 3, the gravity of the condensed water on the upper side of the baffle 25 gradually increases, so that the force of the spring 26 is overcome, the baffle 25 is deflected downward by a certain angle, and then a gap is formed between the free end of the baffle 25 and the mounting seat 23, so that the water at the bottom of the gas conveying pipe 3 can be discharged downward through the guide groove 24 and the gap for collection, and because water passes through the gap during this process, an isolation effect is formed, so that water vapor cannot leak downward through the gap, and when the condensed water on the upper side of the baffle 25 gradually decreases, the gravity of the condensed water cannot support the downward deflection of the baffle 25, so that the spring 26 pulls the baffle 25 upward to reset and close the guide groove 24 again, and waits for the condensed water to continue to accumulate in the gas conveying pipe 3.

[0059] The mounting base 23 and the upper side of the baffle 25 are respectively provided with annular recessed groove 1 27 and recessed groove 28 at corresponding positions; the recessed groove 1 27 and recessed groove 28 are filled with water-absorbing material, such as sponge, cotton cloth, etc.

[0060] When the baffle 25 deflects downward, some of the condensed water will enter the recessed groove 28 and be absorbed by its absorbent material as it flows along the surface of the baffle 25. Therefore, when the baffle 25 deflects upward and resets, the absorbent material inside the recessed groove 27 will come into contact with the absorbent material inside the recessed groove 28 and absorb water from it. The water-absorbing material and the water in it will form a water seal, thereby sealing the gap between the baffle 25 and the mounting base 23. This will further improve the sealing effect of the baffle 25 on the guide groove 24 and prevent water vapor from leaking out through the water collection pipe 6.

[0061] like Figure 9 As shown, the present invention provides a seawater desalination energy recovery method, which uses the aforementioned seawater desalination energy recovery device and includes the following steps:

[0062] A1. The seawater inside the solar collector 1 is heated and evaporated by the vacuum collector tube. The steam pressure inside the outlet 5 gradually increases, pushing the end of the gas pipe 3 to slide inside the outlet 5 until the steam can enter the gas pipe 3 through the annular groove 17 and the through hole 16.

[0063] A2. The raw seawater enters the water supply pipe 4 through the water inlet head 7 and flows along its interior. The steam and seawater flow in opposite directions and separate from each other along the simulated intestinal pipe. The two exchange heat through the side wall of the water supply pipe 4 to achieve water vapor condensation and preheat the raw seawater.

[0064] A3. Water vapor drives the blades 11 and the rotating ring 10 to rotate. The blades 11 apply tangential force to the airflow, causing the steam to form a spiral motion path around the water pipe 4 inside the gas pipe 3, promoting the transfer of heat to the seawater.

[0065] A4. As the condensate gathers at the bottom of the gas pipe 3, the gravity of the condensate applied to the upper side of the baffle 25 gradually increases, causing the baffle 25 to deflect downwards, and the water inside the gas pipe 3 is discharged downwards and collected through the guide groove 24.

[0066] A5. After the condensate on the upper side of the baffle 25 gradually decreases, the second spring 26 pulls the baffle 25 upward to deflect and reset, and re-closes the guide groove 24.

[0067] A6. A water seal is formed by the water-absorbing material in the first recess 27 and the second recess 28 to seal the gap between the baffle 25 and the mounting base 23, so as to prevent water vapor from leaking out through the guide groove 24.
