[0024] As follows, embodiments are further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0025] like Figure 1~Figure 2 As shown, as a preferred embodiment 1, a simple outdoor moss filtering device comprises a plastic bottle 7 with an opening at the bottom, a multi-layer filtering structure is arranged inside the plastic bottle 7 from the opening, a bottle cap 2 is detachably arranged at the mouth of the plastic bottle 7, and a plurality of small holes 1 are evenly arranged on the bottle cap 2, all of which are connected to the inside;
[0026] The multi-layer filter structure is provided with a preliminary filter layer, a moss filter layer 4 and an activated carbon filter layer 3 in sequence from the bottom of the bottle to the bottle mouth, and adjacent filter layers are separated by gauze 8.
[0027] Embodiment 1 provides a simple outdoor moss filtering device for simple water filtering in the wild. The device is simple and easy to obtain. By removing the bottom of any plastic bottle, a plastic bottle 7 with an opening at the bottom can be obtained, and a small hole 1 is opened on the bottle cap 2 to facilitate the outflow of filtered water. Then, a multi-layer filtering structure is installed in the bottle body in sequence. Water used in the wild enters the bottle body from the opening, and is filtered through the preliminary filtering layer, the moss filtering layer 4 and the activated carbon filtering layer 3 in sequence before flowing out from the small hole 1 in the bottle cap 2, completing simple filtering.
[0028] As a preferred embodiment 2, the plastic bottle 7 is made of a degradable material, and the bottle cap 2 is resealable.
[0029] As a preferred embodiment 3, when in use, the bottom opening of the plastic bottle 7 is vertically facing upward, the bottle cap 2 is vertically facing downward, and the multi-layer filtering structure is composed of a preliminary filtering layer, a moss filtering layer 4 and an activated carbon filtering layer 3 from top to bottom. The water is automatically filtered by gravity, and the water is filtered through the preliminary filtering layer, the moss filtering layer 4 and the activated carbon filtering layer 3 in sequence.
[0030] As a preferred embodiment 4, the preliminary filtration layer includes a gravel layer 6 and a sand gravel layer 5, the gravel particle size in the gravel layer 6 is larger than the gravel particle size in the sand gravel layer 5, and the gravel layer 6 is located above the sand gravel layer 5 and separated by gauze 8. It is capable of preliminary filtering of outdoor water sources to form hierarchical filtration.
[0031] As a preferred embodiment 5, the gravel layer 6 is gravel with a particle size of 0.5 cm to 1.0 cm to ensure the filtering effect.
[0032] As a preferred embodiment 6, the gravel layer 5 is gravel with a particle size of 0.1 cm to 0.2 cm to ensure the filtering effect.
[0033] As a preferred embodiment 7, the moss filter layer 4 is a multi-layer fresh moss wrapped in gauze 8. It is green and pollution-free, has a good filtering effect, has a certain self-recovery and renewal ability, and can exert a certain purification effect as long as it is kept moist.
[0034] As a preferred embodiment 8, the bottom of the activated carbon filter layer 3 is separated from the bottle cap 2 by gauze 8 to prevent the activated carbon from escaping.
[0035] As a preferred embodiment 9, the gauze 8 can be replaced by clothing or cotton cloth.
[0036] As a preferred embodiment 10, this simple water purifier cannot completely kill all pathogens, especially bacteria and viruses. Therefore, for further disinfection, the filtered water still needs to be treated by boiling, irradiating with ultraviolet disinfection rods, or adding appropriate water purification tablets;
[0037] If conditions permit, other substances with adsorption and filtration capabilities such as zeolite and ceramic beads can also be added to the filtration process.
[0038] The working principle of this utility model:
[0039] Preparation method:
[0040] (1) Cut off the bottom of the plastic bottle 7 and punch a hole 1 in the bottle cap 2 as a water outlet, so that the bottle cap 2 faces downward and the opening of the bottle bottom faces upward;
[0041] (2) Lay a layer of gauze 8 on the bottom of the bottle cap 2, pour in and compact activated carbon to form an activated carbon filter layer 3, enhance the adsorption of organic matter and odor, and avoid a large gap between the side wall of the bottle and the activated carbon;
[0042] (3) Laying gauze 8 on the activated carbon filter layer 3;
[0043] (4) Take fresh moss, stack them in multiple layers, wrap them with gauze 8, and then form a moss filter layer 4, compact it and place it on the gauze 8 above the activated carbon filter layer 3, avoiding a large gap between the side wall of the bottle and the moss filter layer 4;
[0044] (5) Lay gauze 8 on top of the moss filter layer 4, pour in and compact gravel with smaller particle size to form a gravel layer 5, further filter smaller particles, and avoid a large gap between the bottle side wall and the gravel;
[0045] (6) Place gauze 8 on top of the gravel layer 5, pour in and compact gravel of larger particle size to form a gravel layer 6 as a preliminary filtration layer to filter out larger impurities and avoid a large gap between the side wall of the bottle and the gravel.
[0046] Through the above-mentioned implementation mode, the simple outdoor moss filtering device of the utility model can effectively filter out suspended particles and some microorganisms in the water, and provide relatively clean drinking water for outdoor activities.
[0047] Directions:
[0048] The water to be filtered is poured into the device from the opening at the bottom of the bottle, passes through the multi-layer filtering structure, and the purified water flowing out from the small hole 1 at the bottom is collected.
