[0002] In the prior art, fresh water production at sea is required for ship self-sufficient water, island fresh water supply and water replenishment in emergency situations. This production method usually adopts two main methods: distillation and reverse osmosis. The distillation method uses solar energy or other thermal energy to heat seawater, and collects fresh water through evaporation and subsequent condensation process. It usually includes one or more large evaporation chambers and condensation collection systems. The device may be fixed in one place or designed as a floating structure. Although it has been widely used at sea, it is often complex in design and relies on high-energy consumption pumps and sophisticated filtration systems.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0026] See also Figures 1 to 6 The utility model provides a technical solution: a marine fresh water manufacturing and collecting device, comprising: an evaporation collection hood 1, a stabilizing rod 2, a counterweight structure 3, a bending rod 4, a connecting assembly 5 and a fresh water collection hood 6, wherein the fresh water collection hood 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom edge of the evaporation collection hood 1 to form a fresh water collection chamber; the stabilizing rod 2 is fixedly connected to the middle of the bottom end of the evaporation collection hood 1, and the counterweight structure 3 is arranged at the bottom end of the evaporation collection hood 1; a plurality of bending rods 4 are equidistantly arranged at the bottom end of the evaporation collection hood 1 along the circumferential direction, and the bending rods 4 are connected to the outer wall of the stabilizing rod 2; a plurality of connecting assemblies 5 are supported between the evaporation collection hood 1 and the fresh water collection hood 6.

[0027] In the offshore fresh water manufacturing and collection device provided in the present application, the evaporation collection hood 1 evaporates seawater through natural evaporation or other heating means, so that the steam adheres to the evaporation collection hood 1. The evaporation collection hood 1 is usually designed as a hemispherical space or other supporting space that can be on the sea surface and the edge is lower than the middle shape, or other shapes suitable for collecting seawater over a large area to increase the contact area and improve the evaporation efficiency. The fresh water collection hood 6 is located at the bottom edge of the evaporation collection hood 1 and is fixedly connected to the evaporation collection hood 1. The function of the fresh water collection hood 6 is to collect the fresh water condensed from the evaporation collection hood 1 and introduce it into the fresh water collection chamber formed inside the fresh water collection hood 6 to ensure that the collected fresh water will not mix with seawater and maintain the purity of the water quality. The stabilizing rod 2 is fixed at the middle position of the bottom end of the evaporation collection hood 1 to support the structural stability of the entire device, and the counterweight structure 3 is arranged at the bottom end of the evaporation collection hood 1. The whole device is made of soft material or the connection points between them are soft connections. The main function of the counterweight structure 3 is to increase the sinkability of the device and its stability on the water surface to prevent the device from overturning or shifting due to waves or wind. The design of the bending rod 4 not only increases the structural stability of the device, but also allows the entire device to be folded and stored when not in use by designing folding points, which is convenient for transportation and storage. The connecting component 5 is supported between the evaporation collection cover 1 and the fresh water collection cover 6 to ensure the structural stability and coordination of the two in operation. According to needs, the connecting component 5 can be a hard or soft material to adapt to different marine environments and usage requirements. The entire device takes into account the needs of easy operation, simple maintenance and efficient collection of fresh water. It is suitable for ships, islands and other occasions that require offshore fresh water supply. The portability and foldability of the device make it particularly suitable for emergency water supply.

[0028] In some examples, further, the evaporation collection cover 1 is umbrella-shaped, and the bending rod 4 has at least one folding point, and the folding point is used for folding and storing the bending rod 4 and the evaporation collection cover 1.

[0029] In this embodiment, the evaporation collection hood 1 is designed to have an umbrella-like structure, which can maximize the evaporation area of ​​seawater and increase fresh water production. The umbrella-like structure helps to capture more solar heat or use other heat sources for heating, thereby accelerating the evaporation process of seawater. The design of the bending rod 4 is that each bending rod 4 includes at least one folding point, and the folding point allows the bending rod 4 to be folded when the device is not needed, greatly reducing the storage volume of the device and the space required for transportation. The folding point is designed to be mechanically hinged or made of foldable material to ensure easy operation while maintaining the strength and durability of the structure. The folding function is not limited to the bending rod 4. The evaporation collection hood 1 can also be designed to include foldable elements in its structure, so that the entire evaporation collection hood 1 can be stored together with the bending rod 4 when not in use, so that the entire fresh water manufacturing and collection device occupies a small space when not unfolded and used, which is easy to carry and quickly deployed.

[0030] In some examples, further, the outer end of the fresh water collection hood 6 is sealed and connected to the outer boundary of the evaporation collection hood 1 , and a gap is left between the inner end of the fresh water collection hood 6 and the evaporation collection hood 1 .

[0031] In this embodiment, the outer end of the fresh water collection hood 6 is sealed and connected to the outer boundary of the evaporation collection hood 1, which can effectively prevent external air, impurities, and water flow from entering the fresh water collection chamber, reduce the intrusion of pollutants and salt, and the gap designed between the inner end of the fresh water collection hood 6 and the evaporation collection hood 1 allows the hot air generated by evaporation to flow smoothly to the fresh water collection hood 6, while allowing the condensed water droplets to naturally fall into the collection chamber, thereby increasing the condensation efficiency and accelerating the condensation process of water vapor through a natural temperature gradient.

[0032] In some examples, further, the connection assembly 5 includes a connection piece (not shown in the figure), and the connection piece is a soft connection material. Through the soft connection material used in the connection piece, after the evaporation collection cover 1 is shrunk, the whole fresh water collection cover 6 can also be folded and stored synchronously, and when the device needs to be used again, it can also be folded and not affected. In addition, the setting of the connection piece can isolate multiple independent fresh water collection chambers. When a part of the chamber is polluted or enters seawater, it can still ensure that the fresh water in some fresh water collection chambers is not polluted.

[0033] like Figure 6 As shown, in some examples, further, the connecting assembly 5 includes a connecting rope 521 and an elastic supporting wire 523, the connecting rope 521 is connected between the evaporation collection cover 1 and the fresh water collection cover 6, and is located on the inner end of the fresh water collection cover 6, and a connecting part 522 is provided in the connecting rope 521, and the connecting part 522 is used to ensure that the entire fresh water collection chamber is connected.

[0034] In this example, the connecting rope 521 ensures a stable connection between the two covers, and through the internal connecting part 522, it ensures that the interior of the fresh water collection chamber is unobstructed, and water vapor is transferred without obstacle, thereby improving the collection efficiency of fresh water. The elastic support wire 523 is connected between the connecting rope 521 and the two covers. Its main function is to maintain the structural form of the fresh water collection chamber. The elastic support wire 523 can cope with the dynamic environment at sea, such as wind and waves and the movement of ships, and keep the space of the chamber from being compressed. It can stretch when under pressure and return to its original shape after the pressure is eliminated, thereby preventing the two covers from fitting together and ensuring air circulation in the chamber and effective condensation of water vapor.

[0035] In some examples, further, a water outlet 7 is further provided on the outer wall of the evaporation collection cover 1, and the water outlet 7 is used to take out the water source in the fresh water collection chamber. The water outlet 7 includes a reinforcement ring 71 and a through hole 72 in the reinforcement ring. The reinforcement ring 71 is arranged on the water outlet 7, and a detachable cover plate 73 is further provided at the outer end of the reinforcement ring 71.

[0036] In this example, the water outlet 7 is located on the outer wall of the evaporation collection hood 1. As a channel for extracting water, the design of the water outlet 7 takes ease of use into consideration. The fresh water in the chamber can be quickly and conveniently poured out or used through other extraction methods, such as inserting a straw (a flexible straw or a retractable straw can be selected). In order to enhance the durability and protection of the water outlet 7, a reinforcement ring 71 surrounds the water outlet 7. The reinforcement ring 71 not only provides additional structural strength to prevent the water outlet 7 from being damaged during long-term use or in harsh marine environments, but also stabilizes and protects the water outlet 7. A detachable cover 73 is provided at the outer end of the reinforcement ring 71, which increases the safety and hygiene of the water outlet 7. The detachable cover 73 can effectively prevent seawater, impurities or pollutants from entering the fresh water collection chamber, and is also convenient for users to quickly open it when they need to take water.
