Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of seawater treatment, and more specifically, to a portable micro seawater treatment device. Background Technology
[0002] Freshwater is an indispensable resource for human survival; however, the available freshwater resources on Earth are extremely limited, accounting for only 1% of total water resources. Seawater desalination, as an important way to alleviate the freshwater crisis, has been widely used in mainland China. However, traditional seawater desalination plants are typically large and complex, relying on substantial energy and infrastructure, and are mainly suitable for large-scale production and domestic water supply.
[0003] In maritime distress and emergency rescue scenarios, these traditional devices are often ineffective. The maritime environment is complex and unpredictable, with frequent emergencies such as ship malfunctions and disorientation due to severe weather. When in remote waters or on the high seas, far from the mainland, external rescue often cannot reach them in time, making self-rescue crucial for survival. Fresh water supply is vital during self-rescue. However, existing seawater desalination methods are not suitable for meeting the requirements of portability, ease of operation, and low energy consumption in maritime emergency scenarios. How to invent a portable, miniature seawater treatment device to address these issues has become a pressing problem for those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments.

[0028] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2This utility model provides a technical solution: a portable miniature seawater treatment device, comprising...
[0029] The seawater treatment unit 100 includes an evaporation filtration assembly 110, which includes an inner bottom plate 111. An outer baffle 112 is fixedly connected to the outer ring of the inner bottom plate 111, and an inner baffle 113 is disposed inside the outer baffle 112. The bottom of the inner baffle 113 is sealed to the inner bottom plate 111, and a light-concentrating membrane 114 is connected to the inner wall of the outer baffle 112. The input / output mechanism 200 includes an input component 210. 10 includes an air supply pipe 211 and a water supply pipe 213, which respectively pass through the outer baffle 112 and the inner baffle 113; and an output component 220, which includes a water outlet pipe 221. The air supply pipe 211 is connected and disposed between the outer baffle 112 and the inner baffle 113. It is small in size, easy to carry, and does not take up too much space. It is easy to carry and use whether for daily maritime travel or in emergency rescue scenarios, and can quickly respond to the needs of maritime personnel for fresh water.
[0030] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 Both the outer baffle 112 and the inner baffle 113 are annular, and the inner bottom plate 111 is circular. The bottom inner wall of the outer baffle 112 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the inner bottom plate 111, and the bottom of the inner baffle 113 is sealed and fixedly connected to the surface of the inner bottom plate 111. The bottom of the light-concentrating film 114 is fixedly connected with a connecting edge 115, which is fixedly and sealedly connected to the top inner wall of the outer baffle 112. The light-concentrating film 114 can be easily folded onto the upper surface of the inner bottom plate 111, the outer baffle 112, and the inner baffle 113, reducing space utilization. At the same time, the light-concentrating film 114 can be designed to be disassembled and assembled, or disposable, and can be discarded after one use. It also facilitates the cleaning of the inner bottom plate 111, the outer baffle 112, and the inner baffle 113.
[0031] The concentrating membrane 114 is a cone rotated 180 degrees. The pointed end of the cone of the concentrating membrane 114 faces upwards, facilitating the adhesion of water vapor to the inner wall of the concentrating membrane 114 and allowing water droplets to slide down. An air supply pipe 211 passes through the outer baffle 112 and is sealed to the outer baffle 112. The other end of the air supply pipe 211 is connected to an air inlet valve 212, allowing gas to enter and expand the concentrating membrane 114. A water supply pipe 213 passes through both the outer baffle 112 and the inner baffle 113. The outer wall of the water supply pipe 213 is sealed to both the outer baffle 112 and the inner baffle 113. The water supply pipe 213 extends 0.5-3 cm into the inner baffle 113, facilitating the entry of seawater. Simultaneously, the bottom of the water supply pipe 213 is partially embedded in the inner bottom plate 111, facilitating the subsequent introduction of seawater. This allows the seawater to dissolve any remaining salt in the small amount of residual seawater and carry away the evaporated salt. The water supply pipe 213 is located on the outside of the outer baffle 112 and is connected to the water inlet valve 214.
[0032] The top of the water outlet pipe 221 is sealed and penetrates the inner bottom plate 111, and the bottom of the water outlet pipe 221 is connected to a water outlet valve 222. The bottom of the water outlet valve 222 is connected to a rubber tube 223, and the end of the rubber tube 223 is connected to a water collection bag 226. The end of the water collection bag 226 is connected to a water inlet 225, and the end of the rubber tube 223 is sealed and connected to the water inlet 225.
[0033] Working principle: Before use, the device is in a folded and stowed state. After taking it out, air is blown in through the air inlet valve 212 on the air supply pipe 211. The gas enters the space between the outer baffle 112 and the inner baffle 113, causing the entire device to expand and unfold. Then, the air inlet valve 212 is closed. At this time, the seawater treatment mechanism 100 and the input / output mechanism 200 are ready.
[0034] Open the inlet valve 214 on the water supply pipe 213, and seawater flows into the inner baffle 113 through the water supply pipe 213. The water supply pipe 213 extends 0.5-3cm into the inner baffle 113 to ensure that seawater can smoothly enter the designated area. After an appropriate amount has flowed in, close the inlet valve 214.
[0035] Under sunlight, the solar concentrating membrane 114 connected to the inner wall of the outer baffle 112 can concentrate solar energy and increase the temperature inside the evaporation chamber (the space enclosed by the inner bottom plate 111, the outer baffle 112, and the inner baffle 113). The seawater inside the inner baffle 113 absorbs heat and evaporates. The water vapor rises and encounters the solar concentrating membrane 114, where it condenses into water droplets and flows down the membrane wall of the solar concentrating membrane 114.
[0036] Condensed water droplets flow along the focusing membrane 114 onto the inner bottom plate 111, and are then collected through the water outlet pipe 221. The top of the water outlet pipe 221 is sealed and penetrates the inner bottom plate 111, while the bottom is connected to the water outlet valve 222. When the water outlet valve 222 is opened, fresh water flows through the water outlet pipe 221 into the connected rubber tube 223, and then through the rubber tube 223 into the water collection bag 226. The end of the water collection bag 226 is connected to the water inlet 225, and the end of the rubber tube 223 is sealed to the water inlet 225 to ensure that the fresh water does not leak and is convenient for personnel to use.
[0037] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
