Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of evaporator technology, specifically to an evaporator with improved structure. Background Technology
[0002] An evaporator is a device used to convert a liquid into a gaseous state; this process is called evaporation. Evaporators are used in many fields, such as chemical engineering, food processing, pharmaceuticals, and air conditioning and refrigeration systems. In air conditioning and refrigeration systems, the evaporator is a key component in the refrigeration cycle. It works by allowing refrigerant (a substance that can absorb heat and undergo a phase change) to flow through the pipes or coils inside the evaporator. The refrigerant changes from a liquid to a gaseous state, absorbing heat from the surrounding environment, thereby cooling the air. In industrial production processes, evaporators are also used to concentrate solutions or recover solvents.
[0003] Based on the above, the inventors have discovered the following problems: Evaporators currently used for concentration typically use electric heating elements to heat the fabric to evaporate moisture. However, when the electric heating elements are working, heat is emitted from both sides. Only the heat emitted from one side of the electric heating element heats the fabric, and the heat emitted from the other side is easily wasted, making it inconvenient to use.
[0004] Therefore, in view of this, we will study and improve the existing structure and its shortcomings, and provide an evaporator with improved structure in order to achieve a more practical purpose. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an evaporator with improved structure to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. An improved evaporator includes a mounting frame assembly. The mounting frame assembly includes a base plate, and a mounting bracket is fixedly installed on the top of the base plate. An evaporation assembly is fixedly installed inside the mounting bracket. A scraping assembly is provided on one side of the evaporation assembly, and several blowing assemblies are provided on the other side of the evaporation assembly. The evaporation assembly includes an evaporation plate. An electric heating element is fixedly installed on the side of the evaporation plate away from the scraping assembly. The blowing assemblies include heat-conducting elements, which are fixedly installed on the side of the electric heating element away from the evaporation plate. A thermoelectric generator is fixedly installed on one side of the heat-conducting element, and a heat sink is fixedly installed on the other side. A power module is fixedly installed on one end of the thermoelectric generator, and a blower is fixedly installed on one side of the power module. The thermoelectric generator is electrically connected to the blower. The blower is located on one side of the heat sink, and its output end faces the surface of the evaporation plate.
[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, a fixed bracket is installed on the top of the base plate, which provides stable support for the device. A scraping component is provided on one side of the evaporation assembly, which scrapes the liquid downwards, ensuring that the liquid is evenly coated on the surface of the evaporation assembly and flows downwards. The evaporation plate allows for the covering of evaporation cloth, which adsorbs and guides the liquid, causing it to flow downwards on the surface of the evaporation plate. The electric heating element facilitates the heating of the evaporation plate, causing the water in the liquid to evaporate and increasing the concentration. A thermoelectric generator is fixedly installed on one side of the heat-conducting plate, and a heat sink is fixedly installed on the other side of the thermoelectric generator. This allows a temperature difference to be generated on both sides of the thermoelectric generator, thereby generating current. The thermoelectric generator is electrically connected to a blower, so that the electricity generated by the thermoelectric generator drives the blower to work and generate airflow. The blower is located on one side of the heat sink, and the output end of the blower faces the surface of the evaporation plate. This allows the airflow generated by the blower to blow over the surfaces of the heat sink and the evaporation plate, thereby increasing the heat dissipation effect of the heat sink and the evaporation plate's effect on evaporating and concentrating the liquid.
[0007] Furthermore, fixing clips are fixedly installed at both ends of the evaporator plate away from the scraping assembly, and a guide strip is fixedly installed on the other side of the evaporator plate.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of the fixing clip and the guide strip facilitates the guide strip to limit the evaporation cloth, and the fixing clip clamps and fixes the two ends of the evaporation cloth, so that the evaporation cloth can be firmly fixed on one side of the evaporation plate.
[0009] Furthermore, fixing rods are fixedly installed on both sides of the evaporator plate, with one end of each fixing rod fixedly connected to a fixing bracket. By adopting the above technical solution, fixing rods are fixedly installed on both sides of the evaporator plate, with one end of each fixing rod fixedly connected to a fixing bracket, making it easy to fix the evaporator assembly onto the fixing bracket.
[0010] Furthermore, the scraping assembly includes two fixed shafts, both ends of which are fixedly connected to a fixed bracket.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the scraping assembly includes two fixed shafts, and the two ends of the fixed shafts are fixedly connected to the fixed bracket, which facilitates the fixed installation of the scraping assembly on the fixed bracket.
[0012] Furthermore, a hub motor is fixedly installed in the middle of the fixed shaft, and a transmission belt is sleeved on the outer side of the output ends of the two hub motors.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, a transmission belt is sleeved on the outer side of the output end of the two hub motors, which facilitates the hub motors to drive the transmission belt to rotate.
[0014] Furthermore, a number of scrapers are fixedly installed on the outer side of the transmission belt, and the scrapers are arranged at equal intervals.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, several scrapers are fixedly installed on the outside of the transmission belt. The scrapers are arranged at equal intervals, which facilitates the transmission belt to drive the scrapers to scrape the liquid on the surface of the evaporation plate downwards, forming a uniform liquid film that flows downwards and preventing coking. Furthermore, a feeding hopper is fixedly installed at the bottom of the fixed bracket, and the feeding hopper is located at the bottom of the scraping assembly and the evaporation assembly.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the feeding hopper is set at the bottom of the scraping assembly and the evaporation assembly, which facilitates the receiving and guiding of the concentrated liquid after evaporation, and makes it convenient to collect the concentrated liquid after evaporation.
[0017] Furthermore, a feeding interface is fixedly installed on the top of the fixed bracket, and one end of the feeding interface is connected to a discharge nozzle, which is located on the top of the evaporation plate.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, a discharge nozzle is connected to one end of the feed interface. The discharge nozzle is set on the top of the evaporation plate, which facilitates the connection of the feed interface to external pipes and makes it convenient to spray the liquid evenly onto the evaporation plate for evaporation and concentration.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: A fixed bracket is fixedly installed on the top of the base plate, providing stable support for the device; a scraping component is provided on one side of the evaporation assembly, allowing the liquid to be scraped downwards, ensuring even coating and downward flow of the liquid on the surface of the evaporation assembly; the evaporation plate facilitates the covering of evaporation cloth, allowing the cloth to absorb and guide the liquid, causing it to flow downwards on the plate surface; the electric heating element facilitates heating of the evaporation plate, evaporating water from the liquid and increasing its concentration; a thermoelectric generator is fixedly installed on one side of the heat-conducting plate, and on the other side... The device is equipped with heat sinks to facilitate the generation of a temperature difference between the two sides of the thermoelectric generator, thereby generating an electric current. The thermoelectric generator is electrically connected to a blower, allowing the electricity generated by the generator to drive the blower and generate airflow. The blower is positioned on one side of the heat sink, with its output end facing the surface of the evaporator plate. This allows the airflow generated by the blower to pass over the surfaces of the heat sink and the evaporator plate, improving the heat dissipation effect of the heat sink and the evaporation and concentration effect of the liquid.

[0026] 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.
[0027] Please see Figures 1-5This utility model provides a technical solution: an improved evaporator, including a fixing frame assembly 101. The fixing frame assembly 101 includes a base plate 10101, and a fixing bracket 10102 is fixedly installed on the top of the base plate 10101. The fixing bracket 10102 provides stable support for the device. An evaporation component 103 is fixedly installed inside the fixing bracket 10102. A scraping component 102 is provided on one side of the evaporation component 103. The scraping component 102 scrapes the liquid downwards, so that the liquid is evenly coated on the surface of the evaporation component 103 and flows downwards. On the other side of the evaporation assembly 103, several blowing assemblies 104 are provided. The evaporation assembly 103 includes an evaporation plate 10301. The evaporation plate 10301 facilitates the covering of evaporation cloth, allowing the evaporation cloth to adsorb and guide the liquid, causing the liquid to flow downwards on the surface of the evaporation plate 10301. An electric heating element 10305 is fixedly installed on the side of the evaporation plate 10301 away from the scraping assembly 102. The electric heating element 10305 facilitates the heating of the evaporation plate 10301, causing the water in the liquid to evaporate and increasing the concentration. The blowing assembly 104 includes a heat-conducting plate 10401, which is fixedly installed on the electric heating plate 10305 away from the evaporation plate. On one side of 10301, a thermoelectric generator 10402 is fixedly mounted on one end of a heat-conducting plate 10401, and a heat sink 10405 is fixedly mounted on the other side of the thermoelectric generator 10402. The presence of the thermoelectric generator 10402 on one end of the heat-conducting plate 10401 and the heat sink 10405 on the other side facilitates the generation of a temperature difference between the two sides of the thermoelectric generator 10402, thereby generating current. A power module 10403 is fixedly mounted on one end of the thermoelectric generator 10402, and a blower 10404 is fixedly mounted on one side of the power module 10403. The thermoelectric generator 10402 and the blower 10404 are electrically connected. 10402 is electrically connected to the blower 10404, so that the electricity generated by the thermoelectric generator 10402 can drive the blower 10404 to work and generate airflow. The blower 10404 is located on one side of the heat sink 10405, and the output end of the blower 10404 faces the surface of the evaporator plate 10301. By setting the blower 10404 on one side of the heat sink 10405 and the output end of the blower 10404 facing the surface of the evaporator plate 10301, the airflow generated by the blower 10404 can blow over the surfaces of the heat sink 10405 and the evaporator plate 10301, which can increase the heat dissipation effect of the heat sink 10405 and the evaporator plate 10301 to evaporate and concentrate the liquid.
[0028] Among them, the two ends of the evaporation plate 10301 away from the scraping assembly 102 are fixedly installed with fixing clips 10304, and the other side of the evaporation plate 10301 is fixedly installed with guide strip 10303. The fixing clips 10304 and guide strip 10303 are set to facilitate the guide strip 10303 to limit the evaporation cloth, and the fixing clips 10304 clamp and fix the two ends of the evaporation cloth, so that the evaporation cloth can be firmly fixed on one side of the evaporation plate 10301.
[0029] Among them, the two ends of the evaporation plate 10301 are fixedly installed with fixing rods 10302. One end of the fixing rod 10302 is fixedly connected to the fixing bracket 10102. By fixing the two ends of the evaporation plate 10301 with fixing rods 10302 and fixing one end of the fixing rod 10302 to the fixing bracket 10102, it is convenient to fix the evaporation component 103 on the fixing bracket 10102.
[0030] The scraping assembly 102 includes two fixed shafts 10201, with both ends of the fixed shafts 10201 fixedly connected to the fixed bracket 10102. The scraping assembly 102 includes two fixed shafts 10201, with both ends of the fixed shafts 10201 fixedly connected to the fixed bracket 10102, which facilitates the fixed installation of the scraping assembly 102 on the fixed bracket 10102.
[0031] Among them, a hub motor 10202 is fixedly installed in the middle of the fixed shaft 10201, and a transmission belt 10203 is sleeved on the outer side of the output end of the two hub motors 10202. The transmission belt 10203 is sleeved on the outer side of the output end of the two hub motors 10202, which facilitates the hub motors 10202 to drive the transmission belt 10203 to rotate.
[0032] Several scraper blades 10204 are fixedly installed on the outside of the transmission belt 10203. The scraper blades 10204 are arranged at equal intervals. The fixed installation of several scraper blades 10204 on the outside of the transmission belt 10203 and the equal interval arrangement of the scraper blades 10204 facilitates the operation of the transmission belt 10203 to drive the scraper blades 10204 to scrape the liquid on the surface of the evaporation plate 10301 downwards, forming a uniform liquid film and flowing downwards, thus avoiding coking.
[0033] The fixed bracket 10102 has a feeding hopper 10105 fixedly installed at the bottom. The feeding hopper 10105 is located at the bottom of the scraping assembly 102 and the evaporation assembly 103. The feeding hopper 10105 is located at the bottom of the scraping assembly 102 and the evaporation assembly 103, which facilitates the receiving and guiding of the concentrated liquid after evaporation, and makes it convenient to collect the concentrated liquid after evaporation.
[0034] The fixed bracket 10102 has a feed inlet 10104 fixedly installed on its top. One end of the feed inlet 10104 is connected to a discharge nozzle 10103. The discharge nozzle 10103 is located on the top of the evaporation plate 10301. The feed inlet 10104 is connected to the discharge nozzle 10103, which is located on the top of the evaporation plate 10301. This facilitates the connection of the feed inlet 10104 to an external pipe, making it convenient to spray the liquid evenly onto the evaporation plate 10301 for evaporation and concentration.
[0035] Specifically, the working principle of this structurally improved evaporator is as follows: During use, a fixed bracket 10102 is fixedly installed on the top of the base plate 10101, providing stable support for the device. The fixed clamping plate 10304 and guide strip 10303 allow the guide strip 10303 to limit the evaporation cloth's position. The fixed clamping plate 10304 clamps and fixes both ends of the evaporation cloth, ensuring it is securely fixed to one side of the evaporation plate 10301. One end of the feed inlet 10104 is connected to a discharge nozzle 10103, which is located on the top of the evaporation plate 10301. This facilitates connection of the feed inlet 10104 to external pipes, allowing for the uniform distribution of the liquid. The liquid is sprayed onto the evaporation plate 10301 for evaporation and concentration. A scraping assembly 102, including two fixed shafts 10201, is used to fix the two ends of the fixed shafts 10201 to a fixed bracket 10102, facilitating the fixed installation of the scraping assembly 102 onto the fixed bracket 10102. A drive belt 10203 is fitted around the output ends of two hub motors 10202, allowing the hub motors 10202 to drive the drive belt 10203 to rotate. Several scraper blades 10204 are fixedly installed on the outside of the drive belt 10203, arranged at equal intervals. This allows the drive belt 10203 to drive the scraper blades 10204 to scrape the liquid on the surface of the evaporation plate 10301 downwards, forming a uniform liquid film. The liquid flows downwards to avoid slagging. The evaporation plate 10301 allows the evaporation cloth to be easily covered, enabling the cloth to absorb and guide the liquid, causing it to flow downwards on the surface of the evaporation plate 10301. The electric heating element 10305 heats the evaporation plate 10301, evaporating the water in the liquid and increasing its concentration. A thermoelectric generator 10402 is fixedly installed on one side of the heat-conducting plate 10401, and a heat sink 10405 is fixedly installed on the other side of the thermoelectric generator 10402, facilitating a temperature difference between the two sides of the thermoelectric generator 10402 to generate current. The current is then transmitted electrically between the thermoelectric generator 10402 and the blower 10404. The connection facilitates the operation of the blower 10404, which is powered by the electric current generated by the thermoelectric generator 10402. This generates airflow, which is positioned on one side of the heat sink 10405 with its output end facing the surface of the evaporator plate 10301. This allows the airflow generated by the blower 10404 to pass over the surfaces of the heat sink 10405 and the evaporator plate 10301, thereby increasing the heat dissipation effect of the heat sink 10405 and the evaporator plate 10301 in evaporating and concentrating the liquid. The hopper 10105 is located at the bottom of the scraper assembly 102 and the evaporator assembly 103, which facilitates the receiving and guiding of the concentrated liquid, making it easy to collect the concentrated liquid.
