[0002] As an emerging decentralized water resource production technology, atmospheric water harvesting has the potential to alleviate water shortages. The basic principle of the adsorption / absorption method is to select adsorbents or absorbents with strong hygroscopic properties to enrich water in the air, and then use low-grade energy such as solar energy, wind energy, and waste heat to make the absorbent release water to produce clean water.

[0031] As mentioned in the background technology, the existing tree-shaped air water collection device 10 using solar energy has the problem of low water collection efficiency due to the use of a single composite hygroscopic polymer gel, and the problem of difficulty in collecting water vapor released by solar energy. In order to improve the above problems, the present application provides a tree-shaped air water collection device 10 using solar energy, which can effectively collect water vapor released by solar energy and improve water collection efficiency.

[0032] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a water collection assembly 100 provided in an embodiment of the utility model. Figure 2Schematic diagram of a tree-shaped air water collection device 10 utilizing solar energy provided in an embodiment of the utility model. The present application provides a tree-shaped air water collection device 10 utilizing solar energy, which includes a water collection component 100 and a collection component 300. There are multiple water collection components 100, and any one of the water collection components 100 includes a focusing lens 110, a shell 120, and a water collection member 130. The shell 120 is at least partially configured as a mesh structure 121 for communicating with the outside air. The focusing lens 110 is detachably connected to the top opening of the shell 120, and the water collection member 130 is accommodated in the inner cavity of the shell 120; the collection component 300 includes a flow guide mechanism 310 and a water collection tank 340. The flow guide mechanism 310 is connected to the bottom openings of all shells 120 and is used to connect the inner cavity of the shell 120 with the water collection tank 340.

[0033] Through the above arrangement, the mesh structure 121 connects the outside air to the inner cavity of the shell 120, and the water collecting member 130 absorbs and collects water; and the focusing lens 110 is used to gather solar energy to release the water vapor adsorbed by the water collecting member 130; the released water vapor contacts and condenses with the inner wall of the shell 120, and then drips along the inner wall of the shell 120, and is introduced into the water collecting tank 340 through the guide mechanism 310. It can be understood that multiple water collecting components 100 can flow to the water collecting tank 340 through the above process to achieve collection and storage. Based on this, the tree-shaped air water collecting device 10 using solar energy provided in the present application effectively collects water vapor released by solar energy and improves the water collection efficiency.

[0034] In addition, it should be noted that the focusing lens 110 can be removed from the housing 120 to adapt to different external air humidity conditions. Specifically, when the external air humidity is high, the water collecting member 130 can contact the circulating air through the mesh structure 121 to absorb and collect water; when the external air humidity is low, the focusing lens 110 is manually opened to increase the air circulation, thereby increasing the contact probability between the water collecting member 130 and the air. Optionally, in order to increase the contact probability between the air conducted by the mesh structure 121 and the water collecting member 130, the housing 120 is cylindrical, and the mesh structure 121 surrounds the water collecting member 130.

[0035] Considering the problem of alignment and conduction between the bottom opening of the shell 120 and the guide mechanism 310, as an optional embodiment, the water collection component 100 also includes a connecting pipe 160, and the shell 120 is rotatably connected to the guide mechanism 310 through the connecting pipe 160. It can be understood that the connecting pipe 160 can achieve the purpose of connecting the inner cavity of the shell 120 and the guide mechanism 310, and it avoids alignment problems and leakage problems through the tubular structure, reducing the difficulty of conduction. In order to further enhance the drainage effect, the collection component 300 also includes a guide pipe 350, one end of the guide pipe 350 is connected to the inner cavity of the shell 120, and the other end is connected to the water collection tank 340 through the connecting pipe 160 and the guide mechanism 310 in sequence. Optionally, the guide pipe 350 is a condenser with good flexibility and durability, which can be easily bent and installed, and is suitable for complex diversion scenarios.

[0036] In order to increase the air circulation efficiency and the adsorption efficiency of the water collecting member 130, the water collecting assembly 100 also includes a plurality of rotating ear pieces 170, which are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the shell 120 on the outer wall of the shell. Based on this, when there is wind blowing, the rotating ear piece 170 will drive the shell 120 and the connecting pipe 160 connected to the shell 120 to rotate relative to the flow guide mechanism 310, and the air in the inner cavity of the shell 120 will form turbulence, and this turbulence can enhance the mixing and flow speed of the internal and external air, which helps to improve the efficiency of air flow, so that the water collecting member 130 contacts with more air and adsorbs more water vapor. Optionally, the connecting pipe 160 and the shell 120 are coaxially arranged, and the two rotate around their own axes, and the rotating ear piece 170 can also be arranged on the outer wall of the shell 120 along the axial direction of the shell 120.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, considering that the water collecting member 130 needs to avoid blocking the top or bottom opening of the shell 120, the water collecting assembly 100 also includes a connector 140 and a storage platform 150 accommodated in the inner cavity of the shell 120; one end of the connector 140 is connected to the storage platform 150, and the other end is connected to the bottom of the shell 120, and the storage platform 150 is used to place the water collecting member 130. Based on the above configuration, the water collecting member 130 is mounted in the inner cavity of the shell 120, and is at a certain height from the top and bottom of the shell 120, respectively, to ensure that the top opening of the shell 120 can normally collect sunlight or circulate air, and the bottom opening of the shell 120 can normally circulate condensed liquid.

[0038] Furthermore, the storage table 150 is provided with a storage groove 151 for placing the water collecting part 130, and the storage groove 151 is on the same axis as the focusing lens 110. It can be understood that based on the above arrangement, on the one hand, the storage groove 151 can provide certain support and protection for the water collecting part 130, reducing the possibility of the water collecting part 130 accidentally falling; on the other hand, the storage groove 151 can position the water collecting part 130, ensuring that the focusing lens 110 directly converges the solar energy rays to the water collecting part 130, accelerating the evaporation of water vapor. Optionally, the water collecting part 130 is a hydrogel. It should be noted that the hydrogel has a very strong absorption capacity and can quickly absorb and store a large amount of water.

[0039] Please refer again Figure 2 Next, the aggregation component 300 will be described in detail. Figure 2 As shown, the flow guide mechanism 310 includes a trunk 320 and a plurality of branches 330, and the trunk 320 and the branches 330 are hollow structures and interconnected, and the plurality of branches 330 are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the trunk 320; the water collecting tank 340 is arranged in the inner cavity of the trunk 320; any branch 330 is connected to at least one shell 120, and the inner cavity of the trunk 320 is connected to the inner cavity of the shell 120. Based on the above arrangement, it can be understood that the plurality of branches 330 are connected to the trunk 320 in the axial direction to form a tree-like structure, so that the water collecting assembly 100 connected to the branches 330 can absorb water from different heights and collect it in the water collecting tank 340, thereby improving the water collecting efficiency. In addition, the tree-like air water collecting device 10 using solar energy also includes a fixed base 500 connected to the flow guide mechanism 310 to maintain the stability of the device.

[0040] Further, considering collecting moisture from the outside air from more dimensions on the basis of a fixed floor space, the branch 330 includes a plurality of first branches 331 arranged at intervals along the main trunk 320 in the circumferential direction, and a plurality of second branches 333 arranged at intervals along the first branch 331 in the axial direction and / or in the circumferential direction, and any second branch 333 is connected to at least one shell 120. Based on the above configuration, by subdividing the branch 330 into the first main trunk 320 and the second branch 333 extending in all directions, the water collection assembly 100 arranged thereon can obtain moisture from the outside air in more dimensions.

[0041] Taking the tree-shaped air water collection device 10 using solar energy provided in the present application as an example, the working principle and working process of the tree-shaped air water collection device 10 using solar energy are as follows:

[0042] When the air humidity is high, the water collecting component 130 can contact the circulating air through the mesh structure 121 to absorb and collect water; the focusing lens 110 gathers solar energy and releases the water vapor absorbed by the water collecting component 130; after that, the water vapor condenses and drips along the inner wall of the shell 120 to be converted into drinkable water resources, and flows through the second branch 333, the first branch 331 and the main trunk 320 in sequence through the guide tube 350 to the water collecting tank 340 for storage; when the air humidity is low, the focusing lens 110 is manually opened to increase the air circulation, thereby increasing the contact probability between the water collecting component 130 and the air. When the water collecting component 130 absorbs enough water, the focusing lens 110 is installed. The water collecting process is as described above and will not be repeated here. In addition, it can be understood that multiple water collecting components 100 can be collected and flowed to the water collecting tank 340 through the above process to achieve the conversion and storage of water resources.

[0043] In summary, the present application provides a tree-shaped air water collection device 10 using solar energy, which includes a water collection component 100 and a collection component 300. Among them, the number of water collection components 100 is multiple, and any water collection component 100 includes a focusing lens 110, a shell 120 and a water collection member 130; the collection component 300 includes a guide mechanism 310 and a water collection tank 340. Through the above-mentioned setting, the mesh structure 121 provided in the shell 120 connects the outside air to the inner cavity of the shell 120, and the water collection member 130 absorbs and collects water; and the focusing lens 110 is used to collect solar energy to release the water vapor adsorbed by the water collection member 130; the released water vapor contacts the inner wall of the shell 120 and condenses, and then drips along the inner wall of the shell 120, and is introduced into the water collection tank 340 through the guide mechanism 310. It can be understood that multiple water collection components 100 can flow to the water collection tank 340 through the above process to achieve collection and storage. Based on this, the tree-shaped air water collection device 10 using solar energy provided in the present application effectively collects water vapor released by solar energy and improves the water collection efficiency.
