Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of solar evaporation, and more particularly to a deployment method of a solar interfacial evaporation device. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the fields of lithium extraction from salt lakes, salt extraction, and zero-emission treatment of industrial high-salinity wastewater evaporation ponds, liquid evaporation and concentration are the core process links for resource extraction and water purification. Taking lithium extraction from salt lakes as an example, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is rich in lithium resources, but is restricted by the conditions of low temperature and low air pressure on the plateau, resulting in low natural evaporation efficiency and a long brine concentration period of 12-24 months, which seriously restricts the release of production capacity. Industrial high-salinity wastewater evaporation ponds rely on natural evaporation for pre-concentration, and the evaporation amount in winter is only 20% of that in summer, which easily causes wastewater accumulation. The common bottleneck faced by the above scenarios is the limited solar energy density, and the large heat capacity of water, so simply relying on natural solarization, the evaporation intensification means is scarce, and the treatment efficiency is low.
[0003] Existing solar interfacial evaporation devices are mostly single floating structures, that is, a single device is independently floated on the liquid surface and relies on its own buoyancy to maintain the working posture. In actual engineering applications, especially when facing large-area salt lakes, evaporation ponds or wastewater pools, multiple single devices are usually put into the liquid surface one by one for deployment.
[0004] However, the above scattered deployment method has the following disadvantages: Firstly, there is a lack of physical connection between devices, and they are independent of each other. Under the action of external disturbances such as wind and waves, water flow, etc., they are prone to drift, collide with each other, or even overturn, resulting in unstable device posture, reduced heat collection and evaporation performance, and poor long-term operation reliability. If anchor fixing facilities are provided for each device, the number of anchor points is large, the underwater construction is difficult, and the construction and maintenance costs are significantly increased.
[0005] Secondly, the operation mode of putting single devices one by one is low in efficiency, and the deployment period is long in large-scale evaporation scenarios. In addition, the working conditions on the water surface are poor, and the construction quality of on-site assembly and deployment cannot be guaranteed, which poses a safety hazard.
[0006] Thirdly, the scattered deployment lacks overall planning, and the distribution of devices on the liquid surface is disordered. It is difficult to achieve regular arrangement according to the area and shape of the evaporation pond, the liquid surface space utilization rate is unbalanced, and the edge and corner areas are prone to coverage blind spots or excessive accumulation, affecting the overall evaporation efficiency.
[0007] Fourthly, when different areas need to be controlled at different evaporation rates, the scattered deployment method is difficult to quickly form a partitioned evaporation array with clear boundaries and controllable density. If the evaporation scale needs to be adjusted or recovered and maintained later, it can only be operated one by one, which is low in operation and maintenance efficiency and poor in flexibility.
[0008] In summary, the existing single-layout method of solar interface evaporation devices has problems such as poor stability against wind and waves, low operating efficiency, and difficulty in achieving large-scale standardized deployment and zoned differentiated evaporation.
[0009] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the background section above is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of the present invention, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention
[0010] In view of the above problems, the purpose of this invention is to provide a deployment method for a solar interface evaporation device, so as to solve the problems of poor wind and wave stability, low operating efficiency, and difficulty in achieving large-scale and orderly deployment and zoned differentiated evaporation of existing solar interface evaporation devices with a single deployment method.
[0011] This invention provides a method for deploying a solar interface evaporation device, comprising the following steps: The array layout pattern is determined based on the area and shape of the target liquid surface; wherein the array layout pattern includes the number of arrays, the placement position of each array on the target liquid surface, and the area of each array.

[0012] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, the spherical solar evaporation device includes a heat collection mechanism, a transparent insulation shell, and a counterweight balance bar; the heat collection mechanism includes a heat collection and absorption section and a heat conduction section; the heat collection and absorption section includes a hollow, spherical substrate and a heat collection and absorption coating disposed on the outer surface of the substrate; the heat conduction section is a hollow, columnar structure disposed at the bottom of the substrate and extending downward; the transparent insulation shell covers the outside of the heat collection and absorption section, forming a sealed cavity between the transparent insulation shell and the heat collection and absorption section, and a heat insulation medium is disposed within the sealed cavity; the counterweight balance bar passes through the inside of the heat collection mechanism, and the counterweight balance bar is fixed to the inner wall of the heat collection mechanism by a connector, with the lower end of the counterweight balance bar located outside the lower end of the heat conduction section.
[0013] Furthermore, a preferred embodiment is that determining the deployment density of the floating spherical solar evaporation devices in each of the arrays to obtain the array device configuration includes: The effective heating power of a single spherical solar evaporation device under standard illumination conditions is collected as the effective heating power of a single device. Based on the target evaporation rate requirement and the effective heating power of a single device, the deployment density of spherical solar evaporation devices in the array is calculated to obtain the device configuration of the array; The formula for calculating the placement density is: P = δ × P0; Where P is the thermal power per unit area, δ is the density of spherical solar evaporation devices in the array, and P0 is the effective heating power of a single device.
[0014] Furthermore, a preferred embodiment is that, according to the device configuration of the array, assembling the spherical solar evaporation device into an array module via an array interconnect structure includes: Based on the device configuration of the array, determine the number of spherical solar evaporation devices in each array and the spacing between adjacent spherical solar evaporation devices; Based on the number of spherical solar evaporation devices and the spacing between adjacent spherical solar evaporation devices, the spherical solar evaporation devices are assembled into array modules through an array interconnection structure.
[0015] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, the array interconnection structure includes a mesh structure substrate and snap-fit components disposed on the mesh nodes of the mesh structure substrate, with inter-module connectors disposed around the periphery of the mesh structure substrate; the snap-fit components are used to fix the lower end of the spherical solar evaporation device.
[0016] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, the mesh structure substrate is a metal mesh structure substrate or a plastic mesh structure substrate; and / or, the mesh structure substrate is a plurality of square mesh holes surrounded by mutually orthogonal ribs; and / or, the snap-fit component is any one of a clamp, a hinge seat, or a threaded joint.
[0017] Furthermore, a preferred approach is to, during the process of hoisting the array module as a whole to the corresponding position on the target liquid surface and connecting the edges between adjacent array modules to form a combined array, The array module is lifted as a whole using hoisting equipment and placed stably on the target liquid surface, so that each of the spherical solar evaporation devices is in an automatic floating state under the action of buoyancy.
[0018] Furthermore, a preferred approach is to fix the outer edge of the combined array to the periphery of the target liquid surface during the deployment of the solar interface evaporation device. The outer edge of the combined array is connected and secured to a pre-installed mooring system around the target liquid surface using flexible ropes.
[0019] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, the deployment method further includes: By installing a temperature detection device on the array module, the liquid temperature below the target liquid surface corresponding to the array module can be obtained in real time. The deployment density of the spherical solar evaporation devices on the array module is adjusted according to the liquid temperature and liquid evaporation requirements.
[0020] Furthermore, a preferred embodiment is that adjusting the deployment density of the spherical solar evaporation devices on the array module according to the liquid temperature and liquid evaporation requirements includes: The array module is hoisted to the shore, and the deployment density of the spherical solar evaporation devices on the array module is adjusted according to the liquid temperature and the current liquid evaporation demand to obtain the adjusted array module; The adjusted array module is then remounted to the corresponding position on the target liquid surface.
[0021] As can be seen from the above technical solution, the deployment method of the solar interface evaporation device provided by the present invention first determines the array layout pattern according to the area and shape of the target liquid surface, then determines the deployment density of the floating spherical solar evaporation devices in each array, and then, based on the deployment density of the spherical solar evaporation devices, assembles the individual spherical solar evaporation devices into array modules through an array interconnection structure, hoists the array modules as a whole to the corresponding position on the target liquid surface, and then fixes the array modules together to form a combined array, and fixes the outer edge of the combined array to the periphery of the target liquid surface, so as to realize the modular deployment of the solar interface evaporation device. Through the overall deployment and overall recovery of the array modules, the operation efficiency can be effectively improved. Compared with the deployment of single devices, the deployment of array modules can significantly improve the stability of the device and effectively solve the problems of drifting, accumulation, and uneven coverage of single solar interface evaporation devices on a large area of liquid surface. Moreover, according to the needs of the target liquid surface, array modules with different device densities can be deployed at different positions (areas), making the deployment density of the device flexible and adjustable, realizing the zoned differentiated evaporation rate control, and adapting to the process requirements of different salts precipitating in stages.

Detailed Implementation
[0026] In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth for illustrative purposes and to provide a thorough understanding of one or more embodiments. However, it will be apparent that these embodiments may also be implemented without these specific details.
[0027] In view of the aforementioned single deployment method of existing solar interface evaporation devices, which has problems such as poor stability against wind and waves, low operating efficiency, and difficulty in achieving large-scale and orderly deployment and zoned differentiated evaporation, this invention proposes a deployment method for solar interface evaporation devices.
[0028] The specific embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0029] To illustrate the deployment method of the solar interface evaporation device provided by the present invention Figure 1 A flowchart illustrating a method for deploying a solar interface evaporation device according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown; Figure 2 The structure of a solar interface evaporation apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown; Figure 3 The structure of an array interconnect structure according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown.
[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the deployment method of the solar interface evaporation device provided by the present invention mainly includes the following steps: Step S1: Determine the array layout pattern based on the area and shape of the target liquid surface; wherein, the array layout pattern includes the number of arrays, the placement position of each array on the target liquid surface, and the area of each array.
[0031] Specifically, when deploying solar interface evaporation devices, the first step is to determine the array layout based on the actual area and shape of the target liquid surface. The array layout mainly includes three key parameters: the total number of arrays, the corresponding placement of each array on the target liquid surface, and the area of each array itself. Based on the boundary contour of the target liquid surface, several areas are planned and divided for evaporation device placement, thus determining the number of arrays. Combining the liquid surface's shoreline and effective operating range, the specific placement orientation and coordinates of each array are determined. Simultaneously, based on the available space in each area, the placement area of each array is limited, ensuring that the layout range of each array adapts to the shape of the target liquid surface, closely follows the liquid surface boundary, minimizes ineffective areas at the edges of the liquid surface, and prevents the evaporation devices from exceeding the liquid surface's boundaries.
[0032] Step S2: Determine the deployment density of the floating spherical solar evaporation devices in each array to obtain the device configuration of the array.
[0033] Specifically, after determining the array layout, the deployment density of floating spherical solar evaporation devices within each array is further determined to obtain the device configuration for the corresponding array. The deployment density refers to the number of spherical solar evaporation devices arranged per unit liquid surface area, measured in units / m². The deployment density determines the heat power density of the input water per unit area and is the core operational variable for controlling the evaporation rate. For each array, based on its layout area, a corresponding number of spherical solar evaporation devices are configured to form the device configuration for that array. The deployment density can be selected based on actual operating conditions; it can be a preset fixed density or selected based on operating parameters such as the target evaporation rate and light conditions. Under the same target liquid surface, different arrays can use the same deployment density or different deployment densities to achieve differentiated evaporation capabilities in different areas.
[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the spherical solar evaporation device 1 includes a heat collection mechanism, a transparent heat insulation shell 2, and a counterweight balance bar 3; the heat collection mechanism includes a heat collection and absorption part and a heat conduction part 13; the heat collection and absorption part includes a hollow, spherical substrate 11 and a heat collection and absorption coating 12 disposed on the outer surface of the substrate 11; the heat conduction part 13 is a hollow, columnar structure disposed at the bottom of the substrate 11 and extending downward; the transparent heat insulation shell 2 covers the outside of the heat collection and absorption part, and a sealed cavity 21 is formed between the transparent heat insulation shell 2 and the heat collection and absorption part, and a heat insulation medium is disposed in the sealed cavity 21; the counterweight balance bar 3 passes through the inside of the heat collection mechanism, and the counterweight balance bar 3 is fixed to the inner wall of the heat collection mechanism by a connector, and the lower end of the counterweight balance bar 3 is located outside the lower end of the heat conduction part 13.
[0035] Specifically, the aforementioned spherical solar evaporation device 1 can capture sunlight at different altitudes and azimuths, resulting in a high total heat collection. The insulation medium completely isolates the heat-collecting and absorbing parts from the external ambient air, cutting off convection and heat conduction paths, effectively sealing the captured solar energy inside the device. This, combined with the heat-conducting part 13, directly transfers the heat to the water below the liquid surface, preventing significant heat loss to the atmosphere. The counterweight balance bar 3 allows each device to automatically adjust to a vertical floating posture. Both the substrate 11 and the heat-conducting part 13 are made of highly thermally conductive metal materials; the insulation medium is a vacuum.
[0036] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the deployment density of the floating spherical solar evaporation devices in each array is determined to obtain the device configuration of the array, including: The effective heating power of a single spherical solar evaporation device under standard illumination conditions is collected as the effective heating power of a single device. Based on the target evaporation rate requirement and the effective heating power of a single device, the deployment density of spherical solar evaporation devices in the array is calculated to obtain the device configuration of the array; The formula for calculating the density is: P = δ × P0; Where P is the thermal power per unit area, δ is the density of spherical solar evaporation devices in the array, and P0 is the effective heating power of a single device.
[0037] Specifically, the effective heating power of a single spherical solar evaporation device 1 is first collected and denoted as the effective heating power P0 of a single device. The effective heating power can be obtained either by testing under standard illumination conditions (AM1.5 solar irradiance with an irradiance of 1000 W / m²) or by collecting the effective heating power of a single device under the corresponding seasonal illumination environment. Both of these powers can be obtained through experimental testing. Then, based on the target evaporation rate requirement and the effective heating power P0 of a single device, the deployment density δ of the spherical solar evaporation devices in the array is calculated, thereby obtaining the device configuration of the array.
[0038] This preferred solution uses the effective heating power of a single device, combined with the target evaporation rate, to quantitatively determine the loading density, thereby matching the evaporation capacity of the array with the actual operating requirements. In other embodiments, the loading density can also be determined by empirical values or experimental calibration, and is not limited to the above calculation method.
[0039] Step S3: According to the array device configuration, assemble the spherical solar evaporation device into an array module through the array interconnection structure.
[0040] Specifically, the required number of spherical solar evaporation devices is determined based on the array's configuration. The array interconnection structure is then fabricated, and the spherical solar evaporation devices are assembled into array modules using this interconnection structure. This step involves assembling the array modules on land, eliminating the need for on-site assembly at the liquid surface, thus reducing the difficulty of surface operations and improving assembly efficiency.
[0041] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, according to the array device configuration, the spherical solar evaporation device is assembled into an array module through an array interconnection structure, including: Based on the array's device configuration, determine the number of spherical solar evaporation devices in each array and the spacing between adjacent spherical solar evaporation devices; Based on the number of spherical solar evaporation devices and the spacing between adjacent spherical solar evaporation devices, the spherical solar evaporation devices are assembled into array modules through an array interconnection structure.
[0042] Specifically, based on the array configuration, the number of spherical solar evaporation devices 1 in each array and the spacing between adjacent spherical solar evaporation devices can be determined, thereby enabling the fabrication of an array interconnection structure. Then, by simply fixing the spherical solar evaporation devices 1 to the array interconnection structure, an array module comprising multiple spherical solar evaporation devices 1 can be assembled.
[0043] like Figure 3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the array interconnection structure includes a mesh structure base 4 and snap-fit members 5 disposed on the mesh nodes 41 of the mesh structure base 4. Inter-module connectors 6 are disposed around the periphery of the mesh structure base 4. The snap-fit members 5 are used to fix the lower end of the spherical solar evaporation device 1.
[0044] Specifically, the lower ends of each spherical solar evaporation device 1 are snapped and fixed to the snap-fit parts 5 on the mesh nodes 41 of the mesh structure base 4 of the array interconnection structure; after the snap-fit assembly of the spherical solar evaporation device 1 is completed, an independent array module can be formed; the periphery of the mesh structure base 4 is reserved with inter-module connectors 6 for subsequent docking with other array modules. The position of each spherical solar evaporation device 1 is constrained by the mesh structure base 4 inside the array module to avoid collisions and aggregation between the devices.
[0045] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the mesh structure substrate 4 is a mesh structure substrate made of metal or a mesh structure substrate made of plastic; and / or, The mesh structure matrix consists of multiple square mesh openings formed by mutually orthogonal ribs; and / or, The snap-fit component can be any one of the following: clamp, hinge seat, or threaded connector.
[0046] Specifically, the mesh structure substrate 4 can be a mesh structure made of corrosion-resistant flexible rope (such as ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber rope), a mesh structure made of plastic-coated steel wire rope, or a stainless steel grid. At each mesh node 41, a snap-fit component 5 for snapping the bottom of each device is inserted or fixed, such as a clamp, hinge seat, or threaded joint, to connect multiple spherical solar evaporation devices 1 into a regular array module. The array interconnection structure has sufficient tensile strength and corrosion resistance to withstand the tensile and impact loads between multiple devices under wind and wave conditions.
[0047] Step S4: Hoist the array module as a whole to the corresponding position on the target liquid surface, and connect the edges between adjacent array modules to form a combined array.
[0048] Specifically, multiple array modules are spliced together to cover the target liquid surface, and adjacent array modules are connected by the edges to form a combined array with a larger coverage area.
[0049] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, during the process of hoisting the array module as a whole to the corresponding position on the target liquid surface and connecting the edges between adjacent array modules to form a combined array, The array module is lifted as a whole using hoisting equipment and placed stably on the target liquid surface, so that each spherical solar evaporation device 1 is in an automatic floating state under the action of buoyancy.
[0050] Specifically, when the array module is deployed as a whole, a hoisting device is used to lift the array module as a whole and place it stably on the target liquid surface. Each device floats automatically under the action of buoyancy, and the counterweight balance bar 3 can make each device automatically adjust to a vertical floating posture.
[0051] Step S5: Fix the outer edge of the combined array to the periphery of the target liquid surface to complete the deployment of the solar interface evaporation device.
[0052] Specifically, the outer edge of the combined array is fixed to the periphery of the target liquid surface, which can prevent the overall drift of the combined array.
[0053] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, during the process of fixing the outer edge of the combined array to the periphery of the target liquid surface to complete the deployment of the solar interface evaporation device, The outer edge of the combined array is connected and secured to a pre-installed mooring system around the target liquid surface using flexible ropes.
[0054] Specifically, the mooring system is a shore-based anchor pile or an underwater anchor block. The combined array can be connected to the mooring system via anchor rope 7 to prevent the entire array from drifting as a whole under extreme wind and wave conditions.
[0055] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the deployment method further includes: By installing a temperature detection device 8 on the array module, the liquid temperature below the target liquid surface corresponding to the array module can be obtained in real time. The deployment density of the spherical solar evaporation devices on the array module is adjusted according to the liquid temperature and liquid evaporation requirements.
[0056] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the deployment density of the spherical solar evaporation devices on the array module is adjusted according to the liquid temperature and liquid evaporation requirements, including: The array module is hoisted to the shore, and the deployment density of the spherical solar evaporation devices on the array module is adjusted according to the liquid temperature and the current liquid evaporation requirements to obtain the adjusted array module. The adjusted array module was then reinstalled at the corresponding position on the target liquid surface.
[0057] Specifically, when it is necessary to increase the evaporation rate, depending on the number of spherical solar evaporation devices 1 to be added, new array modules can be added to the target area, or the scale of some existing array modules can be expanded; the number of evaporation devices per unit liquid surface area increases, the heat power density of the input water increases, the liquid surface temperature rises, and thus the evaporation rate is increased.
[0058] When it is necessary to reduce the evaporation rate, depending on the number of spherical solar evaporation devices to be reduced, some array modules can be completely removed from the target area, or the scale of some existing array modules can be reduced. The number of evaporation devices per unit liquid surface area is reduced, the heat power density of the input water is reduced, the liquid surface temperature is lowered, and thus the evaporation rate is reduced.
[0059] In actual operation, operators can use the liquid surface temperature data collected by the temperature detection device 8, combined with the current season, sunshine conditions, brine concentration, and other actual working conditions, to determine whether the evaporation rate needs to be adjusted and in what direction. For situations where different areas of the evaporation tank have different evaporation rate requirements, such as different salt precipitation stages in different areas, array modules with different loading densities can be configured for each area to achieve differentiated evaporation control by region.
[0060] In summary, during daily operation, each device floats automatically, and the counterweight balance bar 3 ensures that it maintains a vertical posture in wind and waves; the heat insulation medium maintains the heat collection efficiency; the heat conduction part 13 continuously conducts heat to the water below the liquid surface, and the spherical solar evaporation device does not require external power or daily manual intervention.
[0061] When the evaporation rate needs to be adjusted, an adjustment plan is prepared on shore in advance. When the evaporation rate is increased, the supplementary module is deployed as a whole and connected to the existing module or the number of devices is increased directly on the existing module. When the evaporation rate is decreased, the module to be withdrawn is lifted and recovered as a whole or some devices are recovered from the existing module.
[0062] When recovery is required, the mooring system is released, and the array module is lifted out of the water as a whole using hoisting equipment and transported to shore or a ship for inspection or storage.
[0063] When a single device is damaged, the damaged device in the array module is removed, replaced with a new device, and then redeployed without affecting the overall structure and use of the combined module.
[0064] To better illustrate the deployment method of the solar interface evaporation device provided by the present invention, the following specific embodiments are provided.
[0065] Example 1
[0066] This embodiment is for a scenario of salt lake brine evaporation and concentration, verifying the deployment method of the solar interface evaporation device of the present invention as described above.
[0067] The target evaporation tank has an area of 10,000 m², and the brine is a saturated carnallite solution.
[0068] Based on the area and shape of the target evaporation pond, the number of arrays to be deployed is determined to be 800, with 64 spherical solar evaporation devices in each array, totaling 51,200 spherical solar evaporation devices. The deployment density of spherical solar evaporation devices in each array is 5.12 devices / m². On shore, the spherical solar evaporation devices are assembled into regular array modules using a bottom-locking array interconnection structure, with the relative positions of each spherical solar evaporation device within the array module fixed. Each array module is then hoisted and deployed as a whole into the corresponding location in the target evaporation pond. The location is determined, and adjacent array modules are connected and fixed through inter-module connectors on the array interconnection structure to form a combined array. The periphery of the combined array is connected to the shore anchor piles by anchor ropes to prevent the combined array from drifting as a whole. Fixed temperature sensors are arranged at multiple positions on each array module below the liquid surface to form a temperature field monitoring network. The signals of the fixed temperature sensors are transmitted to the management terminal wirelessly. According to the salt harvesting cycle, the number of devices in the array modules is adjusted to regulate the evaporation rate. When the amount of carnallite crystals reaches the harvesting amount, the array module is removed, and the next evaporation cycle is resumed after the salt harvesting work is completed.
[0069] This embodiment verifies the feasibility of the deployment method of the solar interface evaporation device provided by the present invention. The entire process requires no external power and can be achieved solely through the rational design of the physical connection structure and the scientific control of the deployment density.
[0070] As can be seen from the above specific embodiments, the deployment method of the solar interface evaporation device provided by the present invention first determines the array layout pattern according to the area and shape of the target liquid surface, then determines the deployment density of the floating spherical solar evaporation devices in each array, and then, based on the deployment density of the spherical solar evaporation devices, assembles the individual spherical solar evaporation devices into array modules through an array interconnection structure, hoists the array modules as a whole to the corresponding position on the target liquid surface, and then fixes the array modules together to form a combined array, and fixes the outer edge of the combined array to the periphery of the target liquid surface, so as to realize the modular deployment of the solar interface evaporation device. Through the overall deployment and overall recovery of the array modules, the operation efficiency can be effectively improved. Compared with the deployment of single devices, the deployment of array modules can significantly improve the stability of the device, effectively solving the problems of drifting, accumulation, and uneven coverage of single solar interface evaporation devices on a large area of liquid surface; and according to the needs of the target liquid surface, array modules with different device densities can be deployed at different positions (areas), making the deployment density of the device flexible and adjustable, realizing the zoned differentiated evaporation rate control, and adapting to the process requirements of different salts precipitating in stages.

However, those skilled in the art should understand that various modifications can be made to the deployment method of the solar interface evaporation device proposed by the present invention without departing from the scope of the invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the contents of the appended claims.
