Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of moisture collection devices, and in particular to an atmospheric moisture condensation and collection device. Background Technology

[0002] In regions with harsh natural conditions and scarce water resources, such as deserts and arid areas, there is a lack of sufficient surface water or groundwater sources. Furthermore, groundwater extraction is extremely difficult and costly. This lack of water harms the growth of plants and crops; therefore, obtaining and effectively utilizing atmospheric water resources is of paramount importance.

[0003] Therefore, an atmospheric moisture condensation and water collection device is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an atmospheric moisture condensation and water collection device, which aims to solve or improve at least one of the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following solution: The present invention provides an atmospheric moisture condensation and collection device, comprising a cover, a vent pipe and a condenser pipe that are fixedly connected and interconnected in sequence. The cover is located on the ground, the end of the vent pipe away from the cover is inserted into the ground, the condenser pipe is horizontally buried in the ground, and the air outlet end of the condenser pipe extends out of the ground through a venting assembly.

[0006] A fan assembly is installed inside the housing. The air inlet of the fan assembly is connected to the atmosphere, and the air outlet is aligned with the vent pipe. Several liquid outlets are opened at the bottom of the side wall of the condenser pipe.

[0007] Optionally, the fan assembly includes a rotating shaft, a bracket is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing, the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the bracket, a plurality of fan blades are circumferentially fixed to the side wall of the rotating shaft, the fan blades are located inside the housing and their air outlets are aligned with the vent pipe, and a drive assembly is connected to the rotating shaft for driving the rotating shaft to rotate.

[0008] Optionally, the drive assembly includes a plurality of wind turbine blades, which are circumferentially fixed to the side wall of the rotating shaft, and the wind turbine blades are located outside the housing.

[0009] Optionally, the drive assembly includes a motor fixed inside the housing, the motor being connected to the rotating shaft via a transmission assembly, a plurality of photovoltaic panels being fixed to the outer wall of the housing, a battery being fixed to the housing, the photovoltaic panels being electrically connected to the battery, and the battery being electrically connected to the motor.

[0010] Optionally, the transmission assembly includes a first bevel gear fixed to the motor output shaft, and a second bevel gear fixed to the bottom of the shaft, wherein the first bevel gear meshes with the second bevel gear.

[0011] Optionally, the condenser tube is a spiral tube.

[0012] Optionally, the ventilation assembly includes an outlet pipe inserted into the soil, the bottom of the outlet pipe being fixedly connected to and communicating with the end of the condenser pipe away from the ventilation pipe, and the top of the outlet pipe extending beyond the ground.

[0013] This utility model discloses the following technical effects: The fan assembly rotates, allowing outside air to enter the ventilation pipe and flow within the condenser pipe. Because the bottom of the ventilation pipe and the condenser pipe are buried underground, there is a temperature difference between the underground and surface temperatures (the underground temperature is lower than the surface temperature). Therefore, during the airflow, the moisture in the air gradually condenses into small water droplets, which flow along the inner walls of the ventilation and condenser pipes to the liquid outlet at the bottom, thus dripping into the soil and achieving soil moistening and irrigation. Meanwhile, the gaseous portion of the air is discharged into the atmosphere through the ventilation assembly. This application utilizes the temperature difference between the surface and underground, using the ventilation and condenser pipes to condense moisture in the air and directly irrigate the soil with the condensate, achieving the collection and utilization of moisture in the air.

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] In water-scarce regions such as deserts, like the edge of the Kumtag Desert in Shanshan County, Turpan, water resources are extremely precious. The moisture content in the air is enormous; although invisible to the naked eye, it is estimated that the global atmospheric water content is eight times the total water content of all rivers on Earth. In desert regions, although the air is dry, it doesn't mean there is no water vapor. In fact, even in arid deserts, the air contains a certain amount of water vapor. When this water vapor encounters a cool surface, it condenses into water droplets, which can then be utilized. Therefore, developing effective technologies to extract moisture from the air is of great significance for solving the water scarcity problem in desert regions.

[0020] Currently, several technologies have been researched and applied in practice, such as:

[0021] Thermostatic condensation technology: This type of device uses turbines to draw surface air underground, utilizing the temperature difference between the surface and underground to condense water vapor into water droplets. This method is not only environmentally friendly, but also provides a continuous and stable source of water resources.

[0022] Dew point condensation technology: This method lowers the air temperature below the dew point, causing water vapor to condense into water droplets. This method can also achieve natural condensation at night when temperatures are lower.

[0023] Some simple physical methods can also be used to collect moisture from the air in the desert. For example, dig a sand pit, lay a polyethylene film on top, and use the principle that water vapor in the air condenses into water on the film to collect a certain amount of moisture.

[0024] These methods offer a sustainable way to access water resources in water-scarce regions such as deserts, helping to solve water problems for people and livestock, and can also be used to irrigate crops and vegetation, thus contributing to the improvement of the ecological environment. With continuous technological advancements and further cost reductions, these methods are expected to be widely applied in more arid areas.

[0025] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] Reference Figure 1 This utility model provides an atmospheric moisture condensation and water collection device, including a cover 1, a vent pipe 2 and a condenser pipe 3 that are fixed and connected in sequence. The cover 1 is located on the ground, the end of the vent pipe 2 away from the cover 1 is inserted into the ground, the condenser pipe 3 is horizontally buried in the ground, and the air outlet end of the condenser pipe 3 extends out of the ground through a venting component.

[0028] A fan assembly is installed inside the casing 1. The air inlet of the fan assembly is connected to the atmosphere, and the air outlet is aligned with the vent pipe 2. Several liquid outlets 4 are opened at the bottom of the side wall of the condenser pipe 3.

[0029] The fan assembly rotates, drawing outside air into the ventilation pipe 2 and allowing it to flow within the condenser pipe 3. Since the bottom of the ventilation pipe 2 and the condenser pipe 3 are buried underground, a temperature difference exists between the underground and surface temperatures (the underground temperature is lower than the surface temperature). As the air flows, the moisture in it gradually condenses into small water droplets, which flow along the inner walls of the ventilation pipe 2 and the condenser pipe 3 to the outlet 4 at the bottom, dripping onto the soil and thus moistening it. The gaseous portion of the air is then discharged into the atmosphere through the ventilation assembly. This application utilizes the temperature difference between the surface and underground, using the ventilation pipe 2 and the condenser pipe 3 to condense moisture in the air and directly irrigate the soil with the condensate, achieving the collection and utilization of moisture from the air.

[0030] The burial height of the vent pipe 2 and the condenser pipe 3 shall be set according to the actual situation.

[0031] Furthermore, a support platform can be set up on the ground to support the side wall of the ventilation pipe 2 circumferentially, thereby improving the support stability of the ventilation pipe 2 and preventing the device from tipping over.

[0032] In some alternative embodiments, the fan assembly includes a rotating shaft 5, a bracket fixed to the inner wall of the housing 1, the rotating shaft 5 being rotatably connected to the bracket, a plurality of fan blades 6 being circumferentially fixed to the side wall of the rotating shaft 5, the fan blades 6 being located inside the housing 1 and their air outlets being aligned with the ventilation pipe 2, and a drive assembly connected to the rotating shaft 5 for driving the rotating shaft 5 to rotate.

[0033] In some alternative embodiments, the drive assembly includes a plurality of wind turbine blades 7, which are circumferentially fixed to the side wall of the rotating shaft 5 and are located outside the housing 1.

[0034] In some alternative embodiments, the condenser tube 3 is a spiral tube. The spiral tube increases the gas flow path and thus increases the condensation time.

[0035] In some alternative embodiments, the ventilation assembly includes an outlet pipe 12 inserted into the soil, the bottom of the outlet pipe 12 being fixedly connected to and communicating with the end of the condenser pipe 3 away from the ventilation pipe 2, and the top of the outlet pipe 12 extending out of the ground.

[0036] Furthermore, a ventilation hood is installed on the ground to cover the air outlet pipe 12, reducing the risk of the air outlet pipe 12 being blocked.

[0037] The wind turbine blade 7 is a vertical axis wind turbine blade. When there is wind, the wind drives the wind turbine blade 7 to rotate, which in turn drives the shaft 5 to rotate, causing the fan blade 6 to rotate. This blows outside air into the ventilation pipe 2. The air flows along the ventilation pipe 2 and the condenser pipe 3, and the moisture in it gradually condenses into small water droplets. Under the action of gravity, the water droplets seep into the soil through the liquid outlet 4 to supply water for the crop roots. Meanwhile, the gas flows along the condenser pipe 3 to the air outlet pipe 12 and enters the atmosphere, realizing the circulation of air.

[0038] Example 2

[0039] Reference Figure 2 The difference from Embodiment 1 is that the drive assembly includes a motor 8 fixed inside the housing 1. The motor 8 is connected to the rotating shaft 5 through a transmission assembly. Multiple photovoltaic panels 9 are fixed on the outer wall of the housing 1. A storage battery is fixed on the housing 1. The photovoltaic panels 9 are electrically connected to the storage battery. The storage battery is electrically connected to the motor 8.

[0040] In some alternative embodiments, the transmission assembly includes a first bevel gear 10 fixed to the output shaft of the motor 8, and a second bevel gear 11 fixed to the bottom of the rotating shaft 5, wherein the first bevel gear 10 meshes with the second bevel gear 11.

[0041] The photovoltaic panel 9 converts solar energy into electrical energy and stores it in the battery. An inverter is connected between the battery and the motor 8. The battery supplies electricity to the motor 8 through the inverter, which drives the shaft 5 to rotate. The rotation of the shaft 5 drives the fan blades 6 to rotate, thereby blowing external air into the ventilation pipe 2 to achieve water condensation.
