[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of solar collector, concretely relates to a solar collector internal emptying device. BACKGROUND
[0002] The solar collector is a kind of equipment that converts solar radiation into heat energy. It absorbs solar radiation and transfers the generated heat energy to heat transfer medium, so as to realize the collection and utilization of heat energy. The solar collector plays a key role in the solar energy utilization system, can concentrate dispersed solar energy, is used to heat water, generate steam, etc., provides clean and sustainable energy. The types of solar collector include flat plate collector and vacuum tube collector. In cold winter, the water in the solar collector will freeze, causing pipe and collector to freeze and crack. Therefore, internal emptying method is used to prevent water from freezing in the collector, thereby avoiding the risk of freeze cracking. In addition, emptying can reduce heat loss and improve the overall efficiency of the system.
[0003] Although there is an emptying device that can make the water in the vacuum tube inside into the water tank by changing the air pressure, such as Chinese patent application No. 202120474992.7, which discloses a solar collector anti-freezing emptying device. The piston block, air duct and air pump are arranged to push the piston block upwards by changing the air pressure, and then make the water in the solar tube completely into the water tank. However, the existing emptying device has the following shortcomings:
[0004] In the process of pushing the piston block upwards by changing the air pressure, and then making the water in the solar tube completely into the water tank, the scale formed inside the solar tube may also be discharged into the water tank. The scale contains various minerals and impurities. These substances will directly affect the purity and safety of water quality after entering the water tank. Once the scale enters the water tank, it becomes relatively difficult to completely remove it. Not only does it increase the workload of daily maintenance, but it may also require professional cleaning services to handle. In view of this, we propose a solar collector internal emptying device.

The types of solar collectors include flat plate collectors and vacuum tube 301 collectors. In cold winter, the water in the solar collector will freeze, causing the pipe and the collector to crack, so the water in the collector is prevented from freezing by internal evacuation, thereby avoiding the risk of cracking. In addition, evacuation can reduce heat loss and improve the overall efficiency of the system.
[0022] Please refer to Figures 1-3 As shown in the drawings, the present embodiment provides an internal evacuation device for a solar collector, which comprises a support 100, a water storage bucket 200 and a water tank 300.

Considering that the water scale formed inside the vacuum tube 301 may also be discharged into the water tank 300 during the process of discharging the water inside the vacuum tube 301 into the water tank 300 by changing the air pressure, the specific implementation is as follows: a plurality of vacuum tubes 301 are linearly inserted at equal distances on the outer wall of the water tank 300.
[0023] A detachable filter assembly 400 is installed at the top end of the vacuum tube 301. The filter assembly 400 is used to block the water scale from being discharged into the water tank 300 at the same time as the water inside the vacuum tube 301 is discharged into the water tank 300.
