[0027] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] The purpose of this invention is to provide a solar-powered air-to-water filtration device to achieve self-sufficiency in electricity during the water extraction process.

[0029] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 This embodiment provides a solar-powered air-to-water filtration device, including a photovoltaic module 7, a transparent condensation plate 6, a water collection module, a water pump 2, a filter module, and a water purification container 4.

[0031] A transparent condensation plate 6 is located on the sun-facing side of the photovoltaic module 7, with a gap between it and the module. Both the upper and lower ends of this gap are open to the outside air. A water collection assembly is located below the lower end of the gap to collect water dripping from the transparent condensation plate 6. The water collection assembly and the filter assembly are connected via piping. A water pump 2 is installed on the piping between the water collection assembly and the filter assembly to provide water pressure that directs the water flow towards the filter assembly. The filter assembly and the purified water container 4 are connected via piping to collect the filtered water.

[0032] The working principle of the solar air water taking filtering device in the embodiment is as follows:

[0033] The color of the panel of the photovoltaic assembly 7 is dark, and the heat absorption effect of the panel is better than that of the transparent water condensation panel 6 under sunlight, so the temperature of the panel is higher than that of the transparent water condensation panel 6. The air in the gap is heated by the panel and contacts the transparent water condensation panel 6 with a lower temperature, and the moisture in the air condenses on the side of the transparent water condensation panel 6 facing the panel and gradually flows to the lower end of the gap, and finally drops into the water collecting assembly. At the same time, the air in the gap flows out from the upper end of the gap due to its high temperature, and new air rich in moisture flows into the lower end of the gap, realizing the replacement of the air in the gap. Under the transportation of the water pump 2, the water in the water collecting assembly passes through the filtering assembly and finally reaches the clean water container 4. The filtering assembly filters the water to improve the cleanliness of the water.

[0034] In the above process, the water pump 2 is driven by the electric energy provided by the photovoltaic assembly 7, which reduces the application limitation of the power grid distribution position on the water taking device and expands the application range. In addition, the condensation of the moisture in the air is realized by the two structures of the photovoltaic assembly 7 and the transparent water condensation panel 6, which has a simple structure and low cost and is suitable for promotion.

[0035] As a possible example, in the embodiment, the material of the transparent water condensation panel 6 is glass, and the transparent water condensation panel 6 is fixedly connected with the photovoltaic assembly 7. Compared with a transparent plastic panel, the glass has a higher melting point and is more stable in high-temperature environment, and has a longer service life.

[0036] As a possible example, in the embodiment, the water collecting assembly includes a temporary storage tank 5 and a collection box 1, the temporary storage tank 5 is located below the lower end of the gap, the temporary storage tank 5 is in communication with the collection box 1 through a pipeline, and the volume of the collection box 1 is greater than that of the temporary storage tank 5. The water pump 2 is installed on the pipeline between the collection box 1 and the filtering assembly.

[0037] An opening is arranged at the upper end of the temporary storage tank 5 to facilitate the collection of falling water droplets. The upper end of the collection box 1 is closed to prevent the loss of moisture. A small amount of evaporated water in the collection box 1 recondenses on the inner wall of the collection box 1 instead of being lost in the air, thereby improving the water taking efficiency.

[0038] As a possible example, in the embodiment, the temporary storage tank 5 is fixedly connected with the photovoltaic assembly 7. When the position of the photovoltaic assembly 7 is moved or the angle of the photovoltaic assembly 7 is changed, the temporary storage tank 5 is always located below the lower end of the gap, simplifying the operation process.

[0039] As a possible example, in the embodiment, the solar air water taking filtering device further includes a support, and the photovoltaic assembly 7 is fixed on the support to improve the stability of the photovoltaic assembly 7.

[0040] As a possible example, in the embodiment, the support can rotate to adjust the angle of the photovoltaic assembly 7.

[0041] The support comprises a base, a table, a speed reducer motor and a controller. The speed reducer motor and the controller are fixed on the base, the photovoltaic assembly 7 is fixed on the table, and the table is rotatably installed on the base. The speed reducer motor drives the table to rotate around a vertical axis, the controller controls the action of the speed reducer motor according to the built-in control instructions, and the photovoltaic assembly 7 supplies power to the speed reducer motor and the controller.

[0042] Through the rotation of the table, the photovoltaic assembly 7 is more directed to the sun during sunrise and sunset, thereby improving the power generation efficiency.

[0043] As a possible example, in the embodiment, the filter assembly comprises a ceramic membrane filter 3. The ceramic membrane filter 3 has excellent thermal stability and pore stability, high strength, and chemical corrosion resistance.

[0044] As a possible example, in the embodiment, the filter assembly further comprises a pre-filter 8 installed on the pipeline between the water pump 2 and the ceramic membrane filter 3. The pre-filter 8 is used for rough filtering before the ceramic membrane filter 3 filters, thereby filtering out large-particle impurities and avoiding damage to the ceramic membrane filter 3. As an example, the pre-filter 8 can be a PP cotton filter.

[0045] As a possible example, in the embodiment, the filter assembly further comprises an activated carbon filter 9 installed on the pipeline between the ceramic membrane filter 3 and the clean water container 4. The activated carbon filter 9 is used for adsorbing impurities that are not filtered out by the ceramic membrane filter 3, thereby further improving the water purification effect.

[0046] As a possible example, in the embodiment, the filter assembly further comprises a disinfection device 10 installed beside the pipeline between the activated carbon filter 9 and the clean water container 4, for disinfecting the water filtered by the activated carbon filter 9. As an example, the disinfection device 10 can be an ultraviolet lamp, for irradiating the water flowing through the disinfection device 10 with ultraviolet light, thereby sterilizing the water purified by the activated carbon filter 9. The photovoltaic assembly 7 supplies power to the ultraviolet lamp.

[0047] The principles and implementation modes of the present application are described by using specific examples in the present application. The above examples are only used to help understand the method of the present application and its core idea; meanwhile, for those skilled in the art, according to the idea of the present application, the specific implementation mode and application range will be changed. In conclusion, the content of the present specification should not be understood as a limitation of the present application.
