Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of drinking water equipment technology, specifically relating to an air-to-water generator with a purple clay pot for reproducing the components of natural dew. Background Technology

[0002] Air-to-water technology, as a novel water supply method that extracts moisture from ambient air, has been gradually applied to household drinking water, field operations, emergency rescue, and water-scarce areas such as islands and deserts. The basic working principle of existing air-to-water generators typically includes: using a fan to introduce ambient air into the machine, the air first flows through an evaporator, where a low-temperature refrigerant lowers the air temperature below the dew point, causing water vapor in the air to condense into water droplets, which are then collected and filtered to obtain drinking water.

[0003] However, existing air-to-water generators generally suffer from the following problems: First, the water produced is usually purified water or simply mineralized water, whose physicochemical indicators and mineral trace element composition differ significantly from natural dew, failing to replicate the unique health characteristics of natural dew, such as low deuterium content, small molecular clusters, and balanced minerals. Second, existing mineralization technologies are mostly filter-based instantaneous mineralization, which lacks controllability and continuity. The amount of minerals dissolved fluctuates greatly due to water temperature and flow rate, making it difficult to achieve a stable and precise mineral ratio. Third, existing water storage containers are mostly made of plastic or stainless steel, lacking breathability and natural ion exchange capacity. After long-term storage, the water tastes bland and lacks vitality, and is prone to bacterial growth and odor. Fourth, existing air-to-water generators lack complete detection and closed-loop control methods for the components of natural dew, and cannot automatically adjust the mineralization and reduction process based on real-time water quality data, resulting in low levels of intelligence.

[0004] Natural dew, as a product of natural condensation of atmospheric water vapor in a clean environment, has the characteristics of low deuterium content (130-145ppm), small molecular cluster structure (50-75Hz), weakly alkaline to neutral pH value (6.4-8.5), and contains a variety of beneficial trace elements such as potassium, calcium, magnesium, manganese, iron, zinc, and selenium, giving it significant advantages in terms of health benefits when consumed.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an air-to-water generator that can combine water production, purification, and precise restoration of natural dew components. Summary of the Invention

[0012] Furthermore, the box body is provided with a support ring and a support platform, and the purple clay cylinder is placed on the support platform and fixed by the support ring.

[0013] Furthermore, the housing also includes a first panel, a second panel, and a third panel, wherein at least one panel is provided with a water level display screen for displaying the water level of the purple clay pot.

[0014] Furthermore, the box is provided with a water outlet, which is connected to the bottom or lower water outlet of the purple clay pot through a pipe, for taking water stored in the purple clay pot.

This allows the produced water to achieve controllable reduction of natural dew components while remaining safe and clean. The condensate produced by the water production system directly enters the purple clay tank. The porous and breathable structure of the purple clay tank allows the water to naturally breathe and activate, adsorbing impurities and releasing trace beneficial elements. It also provides a stable reaction vessel for the subsequent reduction reaction, avoiding secondary impacts on water quality from metal or plastic containers. At least two independent soaking chambers are set up, each capable of loading different functional slow-release reduction materials. Each chamber is independently controlled to contact or detach from the water body through its own lifting mechanism, achieving precise control in different dimensions and time periods. This not only synergistically replenishes multiple minerals but also avoids excessive release of a single material, making water quality indicators such as pH, TDS, and trace element content closely approximate those of natural dew. The lifting mechanism repeatedly raises and lowers the material soaking chamber within the clay tank based on real-time water quality feedback. Compared to static soaking, this avoids the formation of a saturated layer on the material surface, improving the slow-release efficiency. Simultaneously, the constant temperature and humidity environment of the clay tank helps stabilize material release, and both work synergistically to enhance the reduction rate and uniformity. The entire system is not simply connected in series; rather, it integrates water production, purification, and reduction functions with the clay tank as the central hub. Water production provides a controllable water supply from the source, water purification ensures a good water quality base, and the reduction system dynamically adjusts according to the base water quality. Ultimately, it produces a low-deuterium, small-molecule-cluster, mineral-rich, and balanced natural dew-like solution, achieving a synergistic upgrade in safety and activity, far exceeding the effects of single water production or simple mineralization equipment. This ensures that the output water possesses both the component characteristics of natural dew and the stability and safety of mechanized production. Attached Figure Description

[0029] Existing air-to-water generators generally suffer from the following problems: First, the water produced is usually purified water or simply mineralized water, whose physicochemical indicators and mineral trace element composition differ significantly from natural dew, failing to replicate the unique health characteristics of natural dew, such as low deuterium content, small molecular clusters, and balanced minerals.

This ensures that the output water possesses both the component characteristics of natural dew and the stability and safety of mechanized production.

[0031] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1 to 8 The technical solutions provided in this application will be described in detail through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0032] In a first aspect, this application proposes an air-to-water generator with a purple clay vat 200 for reproducing natural dew components, comprising a housing 100, and further comprising a water production system 300, a water purification system 400, a purple clay vat 200, and a water quality restoration system disposed within the housing 100; the water production system 300 is used to extract condensate from ambient air, and the outlet of the water production system 300 is connected to the purple clay vat 200; the water quality restoration system includes at least two sets of material soaking chambers and a lifting mechanism corresponding to the material soaking chambers; the material soaking chambers are disposed within the purple clay vat 200 and contain slow-release reducing materials; the lifting mechanism is connected to the material soaking chambers and is configured to drive the material soaking chambers to rise or fall within the purple clay vat 200, so that the material soaking chambers come into contact with or detach from the water.

[0033] The water purification system 300 extracts condensate from ambient air and can be implemented as an evaporative condenser unit, including components such as an evaporator, condenser, compressor, four-way valve, and radiator. It utilizes a refrigeration cycle to cool the ambient air below the dew point, causing condensate to form. The condensate collection end of the water purification system 300 is equipped with a collection tray to collect the condensate. The outlet of the water purification system 300 is connected to the clay pot 200, either directly or via the water purification system 400. The outlet of the water purification system 300 is connected to the clay pot 200 via the water purification system 400, which purifies the condensate into ultra-low conductivity pure water. The water purification system 400 includes a PP cotton filter, an activated carbon filter, and an RO reverse osmosis membrane filter connected in series. PP cotton filter cartridges are used to trap suspended particles and sediment in the condensate; activated carbon filter cartridges are used to adsorb residual chlorine, organic matter, discoloration, and odor; RO reverse osmosis membrane filter cartridges are used to remove bacteria, viruses, heavy metal ions, and more than 99% of dissolved solids, ultimately producing ultra-low conductivity pure water with a conductivity of less than 1%. This deep purification provides a pure base for subsequent precise mineralization and reduction, avoiding interference from impurities in the raw water on the release of reduction materials. The outlet of the water purification system 400 is connected to the inlet of the purple clay tank 200 via a pipeline. A purification booster pump 420 can be installed on the pipeline to pressurize and send the purified pure water into the purple clay tank 200.

[0034] The Zisha (purple clay) jar 200 is housed within the enclosure 100 and is fixed in place by a support ring and a support platform. The Zisha jar 200 possesses a natural double-pore structure, with numerous closed and open pores distributed between its inner and outer walls. In this application, the Zisha jar 200 is configured to perform multiple synergistic functions: utilizing its natural mineral components (such as iron, magnesium, calcium, potassium, silicon, zinc, etc.) to raise the pH value of the water from 6.5-7.0 to 7.2-7.8, serving as a natural pH regulating material; utilizing its microporous permeability to maintain a trace amount of air exchange between the water and the container, inhibiting odors and bacterial growth, serving as an odor-suppressing water-cultivating container; and utilizing the rich beneficial trace elements in the original Zisha clay to dissolve trace amounts of minerals into the water, serving as a mineral trace element stabilizing material. The Zisha jar 200 has a water outlet at its bottom or lower part, connected to the water outlet 110 on the enclosure 100 via a food-grade pipe, for the user to access the stored water.

[0035] The raw material soaking chamber is set inside the purple clay tank 200 for storing slow-release reducing materials. The raw material soaking chamber can be a single chamber, or it can include a physicochemical reducing material soaking chamber and / or a mineralized reducing material soaking chamber.

[0036] In some embodiments, the reducing agent soaking tank includes a physicochemical reducing agent soaking tank and a mineralizing reducing agent soaking tank, respectively used to store slow-release physicochemical reducing agents and mineralizing reducing agents containing natural components. The physicochemical reducing agents can be selected from natural minerals, bioceramics, or mineral composites, and are used to slowly release substances into the water to adjust pH, reduce deuterium content, and optimize molecular structure. The mineralizing reducing agents can be selected from natural minerals, trace element alloys, or mineral salt composites, and are used to slowly release trace elements such as potassium, magnesium, manganese, zinc, selenium, iron, calcium, sodium, copper, molybdenum, cobalt, and chromium into the water. Both soaking tanks employ a porous structure (such as a mesh or open-cell structure) to ensure sufficient contact between the internal materials and the water, allowing for the slow release of effective components while preventing material particles from scattering and polluting the water.

[0037] The lifting mechanism is connected to the raw material soaking chamber and is used to drive the raw material soaking chamber to rise or fall within the purple clay tank 200 so that the raw material soaking chamber comes into contact with or separates from the water.

[0038] In some embodiments, the lifting mechanism includes a lifting motor and / or a lifting lead screw. The lifting motor is electrically connected to the main control board 500 and receives drive signals from the main control board 500. The lifting lead screw is mounted on a bracket fixed to the inner wall of the housing 100 or the purple clay vat 200 via bearings. A nut is fitted on the lead screw, and the raw material soaking chamber is fixedly connected to the nut and moves vertically along the guide rail. When the main control board 500 drives the lifting motor to rotate forward, the lead screw rotates, causing the nut to descend and lower the raw material soaking chamber to the bottom of the purple clay vat 200 to contact the water. When the main control board 500 drives the lifting motor to rotate in reverse, the lead screw rotates in the opposite direction, causing the nut to rise and raising the raw material soaking chamber to the top of the purple clay vat 200, thus removing it from the water. This lifting contact control allows for precise control of the release amount of reducing material through contact time and contact area, achieving on-demand quantitative reduction compared to traditional filter-type continuous mineralization.

[0039] A water quality sensor is installed inside the purple clay pot 200 and electrically connected to the main control board 500 to collect water quality parameters. The water quality sensor may include a physicochemical index sensor and / or a mineralization index sensor.

[0040] In some implementations, physicochemical index sensors are used to detect the deuterium content, molecular cluster diameter, pH value, total dissolved solids (TDS), and / or total hardness of water. Deuterium content detection can employ laser spectroscopy or mass spectrometry, molecular cluster diameter detection can employ nuclear magnetic resonance frequency analysis (NMR) sensing, and pH value, TDS, and total hardness detection can employ integrated multi-parameter water quality probes. Mineralization index sensors are used to detect the content of potassium, magnesium, manganese, zinc, selenium, iron, calcium, sodium, copper, molybdenum, cobalt, and / or chromium in water, and can employ ion-selective electrode arrays or inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) micro-sensing technology. These sensors transmit the parameters acquired in real time to the main control board 500.

[0041] In some embodiments, a dual-float level sensor 700 is also included. The dual-float level sensor 700 is disposed inside the purple clay tank 200 and electrically connected to the main control board 500 for controlling the start and stop of the water production system 300.

[0042] In some embodiments, the dual-float level sensor 700 is a dual-float level sensor, including a low-level float and / or a high-level float. When the low-level float is triggered, it indicates that the water level in the clay pot 200 is insufficient. The main control board 500 drives the water production system 300 and / or the water purification system 400 to start, injecting purified water into the clay pot 200. When the high-level float is triggered, it indicates that the water level in the clay pot 200 has reached the preset high water level. The main control board 500 cuts off the operating current of the water purification system 400, the water production system 300 and / or the water purification system 400 stop working, and the water quality sensor is activated to collect data, entering the natural dew component reduction stage.

[0043] The main control board 500 has a pre-set control program, which includes a detection subroutine and a natural dew component reduction control subroutine. The main control board 500 is used to compare the water quality parameters fed back by the water quality sensor with the preset natural dew component reduction index. The reduction indicators of natural dew components include: deuterium content 130-142 ppm, molecular cluster diameter 50-75 Hz, pH value 7.0-8.0, total dissolved solids 55-85 mg / L, total hardness 50-65 mg / L, and potassium ≈30000 μg / L, magnesium ≈6000 μg / L, manganese ≈2000 μg / L, zinc ≈80 μg / L, selenium ≈0.5 μg / L, iron ≈700 μg / L, calcium ≈13000 μg / L, sodium ≈5500 μg / L, copper ≈12 μg / L, molybdenum ≈0.85 μg / L, cobalt ≈0.35 μg / L, and chromium ≈0.30 μg / L.

[0044] When the main control board 500 determines that the water quality parameters have not reached the natural dew component reduction index, it drives the lifting mechanism to lower the reducing agent soaking chamber to contact the water. The internal slow-release material then releases substances into the water to initiate the reduction reaction. Once the water quality sensor detects that all water parameters have reached the natural dew component reduction index, the main control board 500 drives the lifting mechanism to raise the reducing agent soaking chamber, removing it from the water, thus completing the natural dew component reduction. After reduction, the water quality sensor continuously monitors the water parameters. If any parameter falls below the preset standard, the main control board 500 will drive the lifting mechanism to lower the reducing agent soaking chamber again, restarting the reduction process until all parameters meet the standard, forming a dynamically maintained closed-loop control.

[0045] The housing 100 is equipped with a water outlet 110, which is connected to the bottom or lower water outlet of the purple clay tank 200 via a food-grade pipe. Users can use the water outlet 110 to draw water that has been reduced by natural dew components and stored in purple clay. The front panel of the housing 100 is equipped with a water level display screen 170, which is electrically connected to the main control board 500. It is used to display the real-time water level in the purple clay tank 200, the water quality reduction status (such as meeting standards / reducing), and various key water quality parameters, thereby enhancing the user's human-computer interaction experience.

[0046] In some embodiments, the front panel of the housing 100 includes a first panel 151, a second panel 152, and a third panel 153, at least one of which is equipped with a water level display screen 170 for displaying the water level of the clay pot 200. The first, second, and third panels 153 can correspond to the left decorative panel, the middle operation panel, and the right display panel, respectively, or be divided into upper and lower sections. One panel has a rectangular or irregularly shaped opening to embed an LED segment display, an LCD screen, or a light array water level indicator bar, which serves as the water level display screen 170. This display screen is connected to the control module 500 via a ribbon cable, receiving real-time water level information from the water level sensor inside the clay pot 200 or calculated based on the water pumping volume of the pump 420. During operation, when the water volume in the clay pot 200 increases or decreases, the control module 500 drives the corresponding segment or icon on the display screen to light up or change, visually displaying the current water volume in a form similar to a bar chart or numerical percentage. Users can easily monitor the water level in the Zisha Clay Pot 200 from a distance without opening the box 100 or looking closely through the observation window. This allows for convenient water dispensing or understanding of the machine's operating status, enhancing ease of use and the human-machine interaction experience.

[0047] In some embodiments, the housing 100 is equipped with a water outlet 110, which is connected to the bottom or lower water outlet of the clay pot 200 via a pipeline for drawing water stored in the clay pot. The installation method is as follows: a faucet or quick-connect spout is installed below the front panel or side panel of the housing 100, and its rear end is connected to the bottom or a side water outlet connector near the bottom of the clay pot 200 via a food-grade hose. The installation position of the clay pot 200 is usually slightly higher than the water outlet 110, allowing water to flow out naturally by gravity without additional pressurization. Alternatively, a miniature solenoid valve can be connected in series in the pipeline and interlocked with the control module 500 to achieve metered water dispensing via a button. During operation, after the user places a water cup, they press the water dispensing button or manually open the faucet, and the purified water stored in the clay pot 200 flows smoothly out from the water outlet 110 under gravity. This bottom-feeding method ensures the first-in, first-out flow of water in the tank, preventing the new water at the top from mixing with the stagnant water at the bottom for extended periods. This ensures that the water used each time has been properly stored in the purple clay, guaranteeing consistency in the water flow and the freshness of the water quality.

[0048] In some embodiments, the enclosure 100 has a heat dissipation grille 120 on its side or back, corresponding to the position of the radiator 320. The enclosure 100 also has a power port 180 and an operation button 190. The control module 500 is electrically connected to the water production system 300 and the water purification system 400, respectively. The grille 120 is composed of several parallel strip-shaped or mesh-like ventilation openings, directly stamped or injection molded onto the side or back panel of the enclosure 100. Its coverage area faces the exhaust surface of the radiator 320 and the cooling fan, and the two are sealed together by an air duct cover, forming an independent heat dissipation airflow path, preventing hot air from flowing through other internal components. The power port 180 is a standard three-prong socket or a power module with a fuse, embedded in an opening at the lower back of the enclosure 100. The operation button 190 can be a membrane button, a touch button, or a mechanical micro-switch, installed at the front or top for easy access. The control module 500 is a circuit board with an integrated microcontroller, connected via wiring harnesses to the compressor 340, fan, water pump 420, four-way valve 330, water level sensor, and operation button 190. During operation, the operation button 190 sends commands to the control module 500 to start water production, shut down, and flush. The control module 500 coordinates the operation of the water production system 300 and the water purification system 400 according to preset logic. The heat dissipation grille 120 effectively removes the condensation heat generated by the refrigeration system from the housing 100, preventing internal heat buildup that could reduce water production efficiency or cause overheating of electronic components, ensuring stable operation over extended periods. The centralized operation interface and control module 500 make operation and maintenance of the entire machine more convenient and highly automated.

[0049] In some embodiments, the housing 100 is equipped with a water pipe connector 160, which connects to the wastewater discharge port of the purification tank group 410 or the drain port of the manifold 430. The arrangement is as follows: each stage of the purification tank group 410 typically has a backwash wastewater discharge port at its bottom, and the manifold 430 may also have a drain port at its bottom. These ports converge through thin pipes to a main water pipe connector 160, which is fixed to a pre-drilled hole on the back plate or bottom plate of the housing 100. The outer end of the connector can be connected to a drain hose leading to a floor drain or a water container. During operation, when the equipment performs a backwashing procedure or the manifold 430 needs to be emptied for cleaning, the corresponding solenoid valve opens, and the wastewater is discharged from the housing 100 through the water pipe connector 160 via internal pipes. This centralized drainage design allows for the organized discharge of wastewater generated during daily maintenance and cleaning, preventing it from spreading and contaminating other components within the housing 100. It also facilitates regular flushing of the water system by the user, helping to maintain the cleanliness of the water system and the hygiene of the effluent over the long term.

[0050] In some embodiments, the control module 500 is also electrically connected to the cylinder water level display screen 170 mounted on the front panel, and is used to control the start and stop of the water pump 420 and the operation of the water production system 300 based on the signals fed back from the cylinder water level display screen 170. The specific settings and operating mode of its control logic are as follows: high and low water level thresholds are preset within the control module 500. Alternatively, the cylinder water level display screen 170 may be an integrated module with water level sensing function, or the control module 500 may acquire water level data through an independent water level sensor and display it synchronously on the water level display screen. When the water level sensor detects that the water level in the clay pot 200 has dropped to the low water level threshold, the control module 500 determines that water needs to be added. It first checks whether the liquid level in the manifold 430 meets the starting conditions of the water pump 420. If it does, the water pump 420 is started to add water to the clay pot 200. At the same time, if the water production system 300 is in standby mode and the environmental conditions are met, the water production system 300 can be started to produce new condensate. When the water level in the clay pot 200 rises to the high water level threshold, the control module 500 stops the water pump 420 and can pause the water production system 300 as needed to avoid excessive water production, energy waste, and increased wastewater discharge. This closed-loop control strategy, which uses the actual water level of the Zisha Cylinder 200 as the core feedback signal, enables the entire air-to-water generator to produce and replenish water on demand. The Zisha Cylinder 200 will not dry-burn or overflow. The working time of the water pump 420 and compressor 340 is precisely matched, minimizing ineffective energy consumption and extending the life of core components. Users never need to manually intervene in water management, truly achieving fully automatic and intelligent drinking water supply.

[0051] Secondly, this application also proposes a method for restoring the components of natural dew using the air-to-water generator described in the first aspect, comprising the following steps: Step 1: extracting condensate from ambient air; Step 2: filtering and purifying the obtained condensate and storing it in a purple clay vat 200; Step 3: detecting the physicochemical parameters and mineral trace element content parameters of the water in the purple clay vat 200, and then determining the rise or fall of the material soaking chamber based on the physicochemical parameters and mineral trace element content parameters to perform physicochemical and mineral reduction of the water until the physicochemical parameters and mineral trace element content parameters of the water reach the specified values.

[0052] First, step one involves extracting condensate from the ambient air using a water purification system. Step two then filters and purifies the condensate through a water purification system to remove particulate matter, bacteria, and chemical pollutants from the air, resulting in a high-purity base water source, which is then stored in a Zisha (purple clay) jar. Here, the Zisha jar not only serves as a water storage container, but its naturally porous material also allows for preliminary "breathing" and activation of the water, absorbing residual impurities and releasing trace amounts of beneficial elements, providing a stable medium environment for the subsequent reduction reaction.

[0053] Step 3 is the core closed-loop control link of the whole method. This step uses the first water quality sensor and the second water quality sensor to collect two-dimensional data of the water body in the purple sand cylinder in real time, namely the physicochemical index parameters (including deuterium content, molecular cluster diameter, pH value, total dissolved solids, total hardness, etc.) and the mineral trace element content parameters (including the contents of potassium, magnesium, manganese, zinc, selenium, iron, calcium, sodium, copper, molybdenum, cobalt, chromium, etc.). The main control board compares the collected data with the preset natural dew composition reduction index to judge the deviation direction and degree between the current water body and the target dew composition. According to the deviation result, the main control board drives the lifting mechanism to make at least two groups of independent soaking bins loaded with different functional slow-release reduction materials descend into the water body or ascend out of the water body respectively. If a certain index is low, the corresponding soaking bin will descend to release the material for supplementation; if the index reaches the standard or is high, the ascending will stop the reaction. This detection, judgment and lifting action are repeated until all parameters reach the target index synchronously.

[0054] This method realizes dynamic precise reduction different from traditional fixed mineralization. In the traditional scheme, the material is always soaked and the release is uncontrollable. However, in this method, through real-time feedback and selective lifting, the water quality regulation is upgraded from open-loop and extensive to closed-loop and precise. It can be adjusted intelligently and personalized according to the differences in water source bases caused by air humidity, pollution degree, etc. in different regions, ensuring that the final effluent stably approaches the physicochemical and mineral composition of natural dew, rather than just increasing a single mineral. Since at least two groups of independent soaking bins are set, which can be loaded with physicochemical reduction materials and mineralization reduction materials respectively, this method can independently control the contact time and frequency of the two, avoid the mutual interference between physicochemical index regulation and mineralization supplementation, and achieve the simultaneous optimization of multiple objectives. At the same time, when the water quality reaches the index, the lifting mechanism makes the material脱离水体,杜绝了静态浸泡导致的矿物质过量溶出或pH持续漂移,保证了出水品质的一致性、安全性和稳定性。该方法的闭环调控效果是装置结构特征(多仓独立升降与紫砂缸储水)与智能控制策略(检测与反馈)深度融合的结果,紫砂缸为检测和反应提供稳定介质环境,升降机构为执行提供物理手段,而该方法逻辑将二者整合为有机整体,使整个设备从单纯制水跃升为模拟天然水成分的智能化系统,实现了制水技术与水质活化技术的协同增效。
