Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a mist-water conversion device for use in arid regions. Background Technology
[0002] Fog is a visible aggregate of numerous fine water droplets suspended in the near-surface air. The average diameter of fog droplets is mostly below 10 μm, with a density of approximately 10⁷–10⁸ / m³. Clean fog water is highly beneficial to human health and the entire terrestrial ecosystem. Collecting fog water from moist air is one way to obtain freshwater in the natural environment, especially in areas such as coastal or inland deserts.
[0003] Due to the arid climate and severe water shortage in desert regions, plants struggle to obtain sufficient water even under natural rainfall conditions, hindering their growth and development. However, desert air contains a certain amount of moisture, its water-holding capacity influenced by temperature. Higher temperatures increase the air's water vapor retention capacity, while lower temperatures decrease it. The relative humidity of dry desert air is around 20%, and at 30°C, it contains approximately 6 grams of water. However, when the air temperature drops to 0°C, water droplets condense. Therefore, collecting condensed water from the desert air can supplement the water needs of plants in desert areas, making the efficient collection of freshwater from misty air particularly important.
[0004] For example, existing publicly available technology, Chinese utility model patent, announcement number: CN219653801U, discloses a mountain environment atmospheric mist collection device. This mountain environment atmospheric mist collection device includes a mist-catching net and several first connecting holes. A long rod connecting structure is installed on the outer surface of the mist-catching net, and a liquid storage structure is installed on the bottom surface of the mist-catching net. A second connecting spring is pushed outward by a locking pin, so that the first ground pin is reinforced in the soil, so that the threaded rod will not shake when the wind blows. The first long rod, the second long rod, and the two threaded rods are connected as one unit. The second ground pin is inserted into the soil, so that the positions of the two first ground pins and the second ground pin form a triangular structure, making the two threaded rods more stable. The humid water vapor in the mist condenses into water droplets in the fine mesh. The accumulated water flows through the mist-catching net into the liquid storage tank inside the first long rod. The accumulated water flows through the liquid pipe into a water storage tank, which is convenient for residents in water-scarce mountain areas to use.
[0005] In the aforementioned patented technologies, the mist collection equipment lacks a professional mist-catching net. During the mist-catching process, the mist-catching net suffers from low efficiency in both hydrophilic condensation and hydrophobic flow, resulting in some mist evaporating during its formation and ultimately leading to poor collection of air condensate.
[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need to propose a mist-water conversion device that can solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0007] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a mist-water conversion device for use in arid regions. Using this device, the mist-water conversion net is woven from plastic ropes made of modified polyethylene. The net has a mesh structure with warp and weft intersections and lines. The surfaces of the warp and weft intersections are coated with a hydrophilic nanolayer to achieve hydrophilic aggregation of the mesh knots. The surfaces of the warp and weft lines and the water-guiding strips are coated with a hydrophobic nanolayer, making the lines and water-guiding strips more hydrophobic and allowing for better flow. Thus, the overall mist-water conversion net achieves both hydrophilic and hydrophobic effects, resulting in high efficiency in both hydrophilic condensation and hydrophobic flow of mist, slowing down the evaporation rate of mist during its formation, and improving the collection effect of air condensate.
[0008] On the other hand, several D-shaped buckles are connected to the upper end and inner circumference of both sides of the support frame. The D-shaped buckles are tautly connected to the mist conversion net by ropes. Several water guide strips are connected to the side of the mist conversion net near the water collection tank. The water guide strips are located above the water collection tank and are tautly connected to the bottom end of the support frame. By tautly setting the mist conversion net and water guide strips and connecting them to the support frame, the overall structural stability of the mist conversion net and water guide strips is better, and the ability to resist strong winds and shaking is enhanced. This prevents the condensate on the mist conversion net and water guide strips from being thrown out by strong winds, and ensures that the condensate on the mist conversion net and water guide strips can fall back into the water collection tank smoothly, avoiding the problem of condensate waste.
[0009] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0010] This application proposes a mist-water conversion device for use in arid regions, including a support frame and a mist-water conversion net connected within the support frame. Support legs are provided on both sides of the lower end of the support frame, and a water-receiving trough is provided between the two support legs. The water-receiving trough is located below the mist-water conversion net. The water-receiving trough has a water outlet, and the water outlet is connected to a water supply pipe. The end of the water supply pipe away from the water outlet is connected to a water storage container.
[0011] The upper end and the inner circumference of both sides of the support frame are connected with several D-shaped buckles. The D-shaped buckles are tautly connected to the mist conversion net by ropes. The mist conversion net is connected with several water guide strips on the side near the water receiving tank. The water guide strips point to the water receiving tank and are located above the water receiving tank. The water guide strips are tautly connected to the bottom end of the support frame.
[0012] The mist conversion net is woven from plastic ropes using a modified polyethylene material. The mist conversion net has a mesh structure with warp and weft intersections and warp and weft lines. The surface of the warp and weft intersections is coated with a hydrophilic nano-layer, and the surfaces of the warp and weft lines and the water-guiding strips are coated with a hydrophobic nano-layer.
[0013] To solve its technical problem, the further technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0014] Optionally, in the above-mentioned mist conversion device, the support frame is provided with inclined support members on both sides of the end closest to the ground surface, and the ends of the inclined support members and the ends of the support legs are on the same plane.
[0015] Further optionally, in the above-mentioned mist conversion device, the support frame has transverse pedals on both sides of the end closest to the ground, and the end of the support leg is threaded with a ground plug.
[0016] Alternatively, in the above-mentioned mist conversion device, one end of the ground plug is provided with a threaded handle, and the other end of the ground plug is provided with a sharp part.
[0017] Alternatively, in the aforementioned mist conversion device, the support frame, the inclined support member, and the transverse pedal are designed as a single piece and are all made of plastic.
[0018] Alternatively, in the aforementioned mist conversion device, the ground plug is made of metal.
[0019] Alternatively, in the aforementioned mist conversion device, the inclined support is fixedly connected to the end of the support frame near the ground surface by bolts.
[0020] Optionally, in the above-mentioned mist-water conversion device, the water-receiving trough is recessed from both ends toward the water outlet and toward the ground surface along the length of the water-receiving trough.
[0021] Optionally, in the above-mentioned mist conversion device, the water receiving tank is fixedly connected to the support legs on both sides by bolts.
[0022] Compared with the prior art, this application has the following technical effects:
[0023] On the one hand, the mist conversion net of this application is woven from plastic ropes using modified polyethylene material. The mist conversion net has a mesh structure with warp and weft intersections and warp and weft lines. The surface of the warp and weft intersections is coated with a hydrophilic nano-layer to achieve hydrophilic aggregation of the mesh knots on the mesh surface. The surfaces of the warp and weft lines and the water guide strips are coated with a hydrophobic nano-layer to make the warp and weft lines and the water guide strips on the mesh surface more hydrophobic and fluid. Thus, the mist conversion net achieves both hydrophilic and hydrophobic effects as a whole. The efficiency of hydrophilic condensation and hydrophobic flow of mist is high, which slows down the evaporation rate of mist during the formation process and results in better collection of air condensate.
[0024] On the other hand, the upper end and inner circumference of both sides of the support frame of this application are connected with several D-shaped buckles. The D-shaped buckles are connected to the mist conversion net with ropes. Several water guide strips are connected to the side of the mist conversion net near the water collection tank. The water guide strips are located above the water collection tank and are connected to the bottom end of the support frame with tension. By tightening the mist conversion net and the water guide strips and connecting them to the support frame, the overall structural stability of the mist conversion net and the water guide strips is better, and the ability to resist strong winds and shaking is enhanced. This prevents the condensate on the mist conversion net and the water guide strips from being thrown out by strong winds, and ensures that the condensate on the mist conversion net and the water guide strips can fall back into the water collection tank smoothly, avoiding waste of condensate.

Detailed Implementation
[0035] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application. Example
[0036] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown in one embodiment of this application, a mist-water conversion device for use in arid regions includes a support frame 1 and a mist-water conversion net 2 connected within the support frame 1. Support legs 11 are provided on both sides of the lower end of the support frame 1, and a water-receiving trough 3 is provided between the two support legs 11. The water-receiving trough 3 is located below the mist-water conversion net 2. The water-receiving trough 3 has an outlet 31, and the outlet 31 is connected to a water supply pipe 4. The end of the water supply pipe 4 away from the outlet 31 is connected to a water storage container 5.
[0037] The upper end and the inner circumference of both sides of the support frame 1 are connected with a number of D-shaped buckles 12. The D-shaped buckles 12 are tautly connected to the mist conversion net 2 by ropes 13. The mist conversion net 2 is connected with a number of water guide strips 21 on the side near the water receiving tank 3. The water guide strips 21 point towards the water receiving tank 3 and are located above the water receiving tank 3. The water guide strips 21 are tautly connected to the bottom end of the support frame 1.
[0038] The mist-water conversion net 2 is woven from plastic ropes using modified polyethylene material. The mist-water conversion net 2 has a mesh structure with warp and weft intersections 22 and warp and weft lines 23. The surface of the warp and weft intersections 22 is coated with a hydrophilic nano-layer 221, and the surfaces of the warp and weft lines 23 and the water-guiding strips 21 are coated with a hydrophobic nano-layer 24. There needs to be a height difference between the upper surface of the water storage container 5 and the lower surface of the water receiving tank 3, that is, relative to the ground surface, the relative height of the upper surface of the water storage container 5 is less than the relative height of the lower surface of the water receiving tank 3.
[0039] In this embodiment, on the one hand, the mist conversion net is woven from plastic ropes using modified polyethylene material. The mist conversion net has a mesh structure with warp and weft intersections and warp and weft lines. The surface of the warp and weft intersections is coated with a hydrophilic nano-layer to achieve hydrophilic aggregation of the mesh knots on the mesh surface. The surfaces of the warp and weft lines and the water guide strips are coated with a hydrophobic nano-layer to make the warp and weft lines and water guide strips on the mesh surface more hydrophobic and fluid. Thus, the mist conversion net achieves both hydrophilic and hydrophobic effects as a whole. The efficiency of hydrophilic condensation and hydrophobic flow of mist is high, which slows down the evaporation rate of mist during the formation process and results in better collection of air condensate.
[0040] In this embodiment, on the other hand, several D-shaped buckles are connected to the upper end and the inner circumference of both sides of the support frame. The D-shaped buckles are tautly connected to the mist conversion net by ropes. Several water guide strips are connected to the side of the mist conversion net near the water collection tank. The water guide strips are located above the water collection tank and are tautly connected to the bottom end of the support frame. By tautly setting the mist conversion net and the water guide strips and connecting them to the support frame, the overall structural stability of the mist conversion net and the water guide strips is better, and the ability to resist strong winds and shaking is enhanced. This prevents the condensed water on the mist conversion net and the water guide strips from being thrown out by strong winds, and ensures that the condensed water on the mist conversion net and the water guide strips can fall back into the water collection tank smoothly, avoiding waste of condensed water.

[0042] In this embodiment, the structural stability of the mist-water conversion device is improved during vertical placement by using the structural design of the inclined support member.
[0043] In the above embodiments, optionally, as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the support frame 1 has transverse pedals 15 on both sides of the end closest to the ground, and the end of the support leg 11 is threaded with a ground plug 16.
[0044] In this embodiment, the ground plug design at the end of the support leg allows the mist conversion device to be firmly inserted into the ground. At the same time, the threaded connection design makes the ground plug easy to assemble and disassemble. The design of the horizontal pedals on both sides of the support frame allows the operator to apply pressure to the horizontal pedals with their feet, so that the ground plug can be smoothly inserted into the ground.
[0045] In the above embodiments, more optionally, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, one end of the ground plug 16 is provided with a threaded shank 161, and the other end of the ground plug 16 is provided with a sharp part 162;
[0046] In this embodiment, the threaded shank of the ground plug can be assembled or disassembled with the threaded support leg, while the pointed part of the ground plug is more conducive to insertion into the ground surface.
[0047] In the above embodiments, more optionally, such as Figure 4 As shown, the support frame 1, the inclined support 14 and the transverse pedal 15 adopt an integrated molding structure design and are all made of plastic material;
[0048] In this embodiment, the integrated design of the support frame, the diagonal support, and the transverse pedal makes the overall structure of the mist conversion device more stable, and the use of plastic material makes the overall weight lighter.
[0049] In the above embodiments, more optionally, such as Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the grounding plug 16 is made of metal, preferably stainless steel;
[0050] In this embodiment, the grounding plug is made of metal, which is highly resistant to corrosion, deformation, and has strong support capabilities. The material is also hard.
[0051] In the above embodiments, optionally, as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the inclined support member 14 is fixedly connected to the end of the support frame 1 near the ground surface by bolts;
[0052] In this embodiment, the inclined support is bolted to the support frame, making it easier to assemble and disassemble the inclined support. This method is a conventional technical setting.
[0053] In the above embodiments, optionally, as shown... Figure 7 As shown, along the length of the water-receiving trough 3, the water-receiving trough 3 is recessed from both ends toward the outlet 31 and toward the ground surface;
[0054] In this embodiment, the structural design of the water receiving tank with high ends and low middle makes it easier for condensate in the water receiving tank to accumulate at the outlet, thereby quickly flowing into the water storage container.
[0055] In the above embodiments, optionally, as shown... Figure 1 As shown, the water-receiving trough 3 is fixedly connected to the support legs 11 on both sides by bolts;
