Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water production technology, and in particular to a solar-powered air-to-water system. Background Technology

[0002] The Earth's atmosphere contains a vast amount of water, approximately 64,400 cubic kilometers. Therefore, collecting water from the atmosphere is an effective means of addressing freshwater shortages. While it cannot fundamentally solve the problem, it can supply the freshwater needed by humans under certain circumstances. This ingenious method, though small, is a major innovation in humankind's understanding of water resources.

[0003] Existing water purifiers, as shown in patent application number CN201520497442.1, include a solar panel, a battery, a housing, a chiller, and a water tank. The solar panel is fixed to the housing and is used to charge the battery. The battery powers the chiller, and the refrigerant cools the air. Water vapor in the air condenses to form water droplets, which are collected in the water tank.

[0004] While existing water purifiers can use solar energy to produce water, making them more energy-efficient, the solar panels are fixed to the top of the water tank and cannot be adjusted, affecting power generation efficiency. Furthermore, in order to generate electricity, the entire unit can only be used outdoors. If water needs to be brought indoors, a longer water pipe is required, making water collection inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned shortcomings of existing water purifiers, this invention proposes a solar-powered air-to-water system. This system allows for adjustment of the angle of the solar panel and enables the water purifier to be used indoors, making water use more convenient.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A solar-powered air-to-water system includes a solar panel, wires, and a water maker body. The solar panel includes a solar panel body, a bracket, and a locking device. The upper end of the bracket is rotatably connected to the solar panel body and locked by the locking device. The water maker body includes a housing, a water tank, a cooling device, a winding reel, and a battery disposed within the housing. The lower end of the bracket is detachably connected to the upper side of the housing. A wire outlet is provided on one side of the housing. One end of the wire is connected to the solar panel body, and the other end extends into the housing through the wire outlet to transmit current to the battery. The wire is wound on the winding reel. Rotating the winding reel adjusts the length of the wire outside the housing. The battery powers the cooling device, which includes an evaporator disposed on the upper side of the water tank to condense water vapor in the air.

[0008] With the above setup, the solar panel uses solar energy to generate water, which is more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly; the battery stores electrical energy, making it convenient to produce water on cloudy days and at night; the locking mechanism can adjust the angle of the solar panel to match the local solar altitude angle, which helps to improve power generation efficiency; the solar panel can be removed from the top of the water purifier and placed outdoors, while the water purifier itself can be placed indoors for convenient water collection.

[0009] Furthermore, the bracket includes a sleeve, a connecting column, and a set bolt. The lower end of the sleeve is detachably connected to the housing, the upper end of the connecting column is rotatably connected to the solar panel body, the lower end of the connecting column is inserted into the sleeve and slidably connected to the sleeve, and the set bolt is threadedly connected to the sleeve, with the end of the set bolt pressing against the connecting column.

[0010] With the above settings, the height of the bracket is adjustable, making it convenient to support the solar panel body outdoors.

[0011] Furthermore, the support also includes a base plate that is horizontally fixed to the lower end of the sleeve, and the water purifier body also includes multiple elbow clamps installed on the upper side of the housing. The multiple elbow clamps are arranged around the sleeve and press the base plate tightly against the upper side of the housing.

[0012] The above settings facilitate the installation and removal of solar panels.

[0013] Furthermore, the refrigeration device also includes a compressor, a condenser, and an expansion valve. The compressor, condenser, expansion valve, and evaporator form a circuit, in which refrigerant is provided. The refrigeration device also includes a fan that blows air onto the condenser.

[0014] Furthermore, an inlet is provided on the upper side of the water tank, and the water purifier body also includes a funnel installed between the water tank and the evaporator, with the funnel outlet facing downwards toward the inlet.

[0015] The above setup facilitates the collection of water droplets falling from the evaporator surface, which are then channeled into the water tank through the inlet.

[0016] Furthermore, a water outlet valve is installed at the bottom of the water tank.

[0017] The above settings facilitate the output of water from the tank through the outlet valve.

[0018] Furthermore, a downward-sloping rain shield is fixedly connected to the outside of the housing at the outlet, through which the wire passes.

[0019] With the above settings, when the water purifier is placed outdoors, rainwater is prevented from entering the casing through the outlet. Attached Figure Description

[0020] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a water purification system as an example.

[0021] Figure 2 for Figure 1 Enlarged view of point A. Detailed Implementation

[0022] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below through embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, a solar-powered air-to-water system includes a solar panel, a wire 2, and a water maker body. The solar panel includes a solar panel body 3, a bracket 4, and a locking member 5. The upper end of the bracket 4 is rotatably connected to the solar panel body 3 and locked by the locking member 5. The water maker body includes a housing 6, and a water tank 7, a cooling device, a coil 8, and a battery 9 disposed within the housing 6. The lower end of the bracket 4 is detachably connected to the upper side of the housing 6. A wire outlet 10 is provided on one side of the housing 6. One end of the wire 2 is connected to the solar panel body 3, and the other end extends into the housing 6 through the wire outlet 10 to transmit current to the battery 9. The wire 2 is wound on the coil 8. Rotating the coil 8 adjusts the length of the wire 2 outside the housing 6. The battery 9 is used to power the cooling device, which includes an evaporator 11 disposed on the upper side of the water tank 7 to condense water vapor in the air.

[0024] With the above settings, the solar panel uses solar energy to generate water, which is more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly; the battery 9 stores electrical energy, making it convenient to produce water on cloudy days and at night; the locking device 5 can adjust the angle of the solar panel body 3 to match the local solar altitude angle, which helps to improve power generation efficiency; the solar panel can be removed from the top of the water purifier body and placed outdoors, while the water purifier body can be placed indoors for convenient water collection.

[0025] The water purification system of this application has two usage modes: First, the solar panel is detachably connected to the upper side of the water purifier body, and both the solar panel and the water purifier body are placed outdoors for use. Second, the solar panel is removed from the water purifier body, and the solar panel is placed outdoors while the water purifier body is placed indoors for convenient indoor water tank connection. The lower end of the solar panel bracket 4 can be detachably connected to the housing 6 via bolts, facilitating the installation and removal of the solar panel. The solar panel body 3 can be a photovoltaic panel, utilizing solar energy to generate electricity and charging the battery 9 via the wire 2. After loosening the locking part 5, the solar panel body 3 can be rotated to adjust its angle to match the local solar altitude angle, improving the power generation efficiency of the solar panel body. After tightening the locking part 5, the solar panel body 3 can be rotated to adjust its angle to match the local solar altitude angle, improving the power generation efficiency of the solar panel body. The plate body 3 is fixed at an angle, and the locking part 5 can be a bolt or other structure; the battery 9 stores electrical energy and can be a lithium battery 9 with good energy density; the winding reel 8 can be purchased from the market and is rotatably connected inside the housing 6 to adjust the length of the wire 2 outside the housing 6. In this application, when the solar panel is installed on the upper side of the water purifier body, the length of the wire 2 exposed outside the housing 6 is short, while when the solar panel is separated from the water purifier body, the length of the wire 2 exposed outside the housing 6 is long; the battery 9 supplies power to the cooling device. The principle of the cooling device can refer to air conditioners, refrigerators, dehumidifiers, etc. When running, the temperature of the evaporator 11 decreases, and water vapor in the air condenses on the evaporator 11 to produce water droplets. The water droplets fall into the water tank 7 under the action of gravity. The water tank 7 collects the water droplets for the user to use.

[0026] As one implementation, the bracket 4 includes a sleeve 41, a connecting column 42 and a set bolt 43. The lower end of the sleeve 41 is detachably connected to the housing 6. The upper end of the connecting column 42 is rotatably connected to the solar panel body 3. The lower end of the connecting column 42 is inserted into the sleeve 41 and slidably connected to the sleeve 41. The set bolt 43 is threadedly connected to the sleeve 41, and the end of the set bolt 43 is pressed against the connecting column 42.

[0027] With the above settings, the height of the bracket 4 is adjustable, making it convenient to support the solar panel body 3 outdoors.

[0028] When the set bolt 43 of this application is loosened, the end of the set bolt 43 is disengaged from the connecting column 42, and the connecting column 42 can slide up and down along the sleeve 41 to adjust the length of the bracket 4. After the set bolt 43 is tightened, the end of the set bolt 43 presses against the connecting column 42, the connecting column 42 is locked in the sleeve 41, and the length of the bracket 4 is fixed.

[0029] As one implementation, the bracket 4 also includes a base plate 44 that is horizontally fixed to the lower end of the sleeve 41, and the water purifier body also includes multiple elbow clamps 12 installed on the upper side of the housing 6. The multiple elbow clamps 12 are arranged around the sleeve 41 and press the base plate 44 against the upper side of the housing 6.

[0030] The above settings facilitate the installation and removal of solar panels.

[0031] When the elbow clamp 12 of this application presses the base plate 44 down onto the upper side of the housing 6, the solar panel is fixed to the upper side of the housing 6 by the base plate 44. The elbow clamp 12 can be purchased from the market and can be easily loosened or tightened manually. After the elbow clamp 12 loosens the base plate 44, the photovoltaic panel can be removed from the upper side of the housing 6. Rotating the winding reel 8 releases the wire 2, making it convenient to place the photovoltaic panel outdoors for power generation. The winding reel 8 can be driven by a motor or a hand crank. When driven by a hand crank, the hand crank is rotated and connected to the outside of the housing 6 and is connected to the winding reel 8 for easy manual rotation.

[0032] In one implementation, the refrigeration device also includes a compressor 13, a condenser 14 and an expansion valve 15, forming a circuit between the compressor 13, the condenser 14, the expansion valve 15 and the evaporator 11, with refrigerant provided in the circuit. The refrigeration device also includes a fan 16 that blows air onto the condenser 14.

[0033] The refrigeration unit of this application can use Freon. After the compressor 13 compresses the Freon gas, the high-temperature and high-pressure Freon gas enters the condenser 14. The fan 16 blows air into the condenser 14, and the Freon gas cools down and becomes liquid. It forms Freon mist through the expansion valve 15 and enters the evaporator 11. The Freon mist absorbs heat from the evaporator 11 and vaporizes, then re-enters the compressor 13 to enter the next cycle. At this time, the surface temperature of the evaporator 11 decreases, and water vapor in the air condenses into water droplets on the surface of the evaporator 11.

[0034] As one implementation, a water inlet 18 is provided on the upper side of the water tank 7, and the water purifier body also includes a funnel 17 installed between the water tank 7 and the evaporator 11, with the outlet of the funnel 17 facing downward toward the water inlet 18.

[0035] The above configuration facilitates the collection of water droplets falling from the surface of the evaporator 11, which are then introduced into the water tank 7 through the inlet 18.

[0036] As one implementation method, a water outlet valve 20 is provided at the bottom of the water tank 7.

[0037] The above settings facilitate the output of water from water tank 7 through water outlet valve 20.

[0038] As one implementation, the housing 6 is fixedly connected to a downwardly inclined rain shield tube 21 on the outside of the outlet 10, and the wire 2 passes through the rain shield tube 21.

[0039] With the above settings, when the water purifier is placed outdoors, rainwater is prevented from entering the housing 6 through the outlet 10.

[0040] In this application, the lowest end of the rainproof tube 21 is lower than the lower side of the outlet 10. When the conductor 2 passes through the lower end of the rainproof tube 21, it forms a U-shaped structure, which facilitates the dripping of rainwater along the conductor 2 and prevents rainwater from entering the housing 6 along the conductor 2. In addition, the rainproof tube 21 is tilted downward, which also facilitates the dripping of rainwater on the upper side of the rainproof tube 21 along the rainproof tube 21 without entering the housing 6.

[0041] It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make improvements or modifications based on the above description, and all such improvements and modifications should fall within the protection scope of the appended claims.
