Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gas-water separation technology, specifically to a gas-water separation mechanism for a water maker. Background Technology

[0002] In many coastal areas and islands around the world, the scarcity of freshwater resources is an extremely serious problem. Due to geographical location and natural conditions, these regions have very limited natural freshwater reserves, making it difficult to meet the diverse water needs of the local population.

[0003] Among the many methods of seawater desalination, one commonly used approach is based on physical principles. It cleverly utilizes the difference in water vapor pressure between the sea surface and the air, allowing seawater to evaporate at temperatures below its boiling point. During this process, seawater gradually transforms from a liquid to a gaseous state, forming water vapor. This vapor is then condensed using specialized equipment to ultimately obtain fresh water. This method has significant applications in the field of seawater desalination.

[0004] However, among the many methods of seawater desalination, gas-liquid separation has unique advantages compared to the traditional method of condensing steam into water. In terms of water production, the equipment structure of gas-liquid separation is much simpler. It does not require complex condensation systems and related auxiliary equipment, which greatly reduces equipment complexity. From an operation and maintenance perspective, gas-liquid separation is easier to operate, requiring no specialized personnel for complex procedures, and repairs are more convenient and faster in case of equipment failure, helping to reduce downtime and improve overall efficiency. In terms of cost, due to its simple structure and ease of operation and maintenance, its overall cost is relatively low, which is of positive significance for the large-scale promotion of seawater desalination technology.

[0005] Another significant advantage of gas-liquid separation is that it requires no additional refrigeration energy. In traditional condensation methods, the refrigeration process often consumes a large amount of energy to lower the temperature so that the vapor can condense into water. In gas-liquid separation, however, energy consumption is primarily concentrated in gas transport and the operation of the separation equipment. This energy consumption is relatively concentrated and controllable, resulting in lower energy consumption compared to traditional methods. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a gas-water separation mechanism for a water maker to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a gas-water separation mechanism for a water maker, comprising a main body, an outer shell mounted on the main body, a water outlet mounted below the outer shell, an air outlet mounted above the screen of the water outlet, a connecting flange mounted below the air outlet, an air inlet mounted below the connecting flange, a double-row air inlet mounted above the air inlet, a spiral baffle mounted on the right side of the double-row air inlet, an isolation plate mounted above the spiral baffle, a vent pipe mounted below the isolation plate, a secondary filter plate mounted inside the vent pipe, a filter plate mounted below the secondary filter plate, and a water level monitoring device mounted above the filter plate.

[0008] Preferably, the air inlet is converted from a single large air inlet into two smaller dual-row air inlets via a connecting flange.

[0009] Preferably, an isolation plate is installed above the spiral baffle, so that water vapor can only move downwards, and water is thrown out by centrifugal force and falls down under the action of gravity, while gas rises through the vent pipe, and is discharged through the outlet after being filtered again by the secondary filter plate.

[0010] Preferably, when the water level exceeds the limit, the water level monitoring device will send an excessive water warning to the connected smart device through its built-in signal transmitter.

[0011] Preferably, the filter plate performs simple filtration on the water that slides down the pipe wall, filtering out large particulate impurities contained in the water.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] 1. The gas-liquid separation mechanism of this water maker transforms the single-pipe air inlet into a dual-row air inlet via a connecting flange, increasing structural flexibility and optimizing airflow distribution. This facilitates equipment integration optimization and improves air intake efficiency. An isolation plate is installed above the spiral baffle, utilizing gravity and centrifugal force to achieve efficient gas-liquid separation. The gas is then filtered again by a secondary filter plate before being discharged, ensuring both energy efficiency and the purity of the discharged gas. This is significant for improving product quality and reducing equipment maintenance costs. The water level monitoring device is highly intelligent, with a built-in signal transmitter that can connect to smart devices. It can issue timely warnings when the water level exceeds the limit, effectively protecting equipment safety and preventing production stoppages. The filter plate can perform preliminary filtration of large particles of impurities in the water sliding down the pipe wall, providing preliminary purification and protecting downstream equipment, thus improving the overall system's operating efficiency and stability.

[0017] 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.

[0018] Example: Please refer to Figure 1 This utility model provides a technical solution: a gas-water separation mechanism for a water maker, comprising a main body 1, a housing 2 mounted on the main body 1, a water outlet 3 mounted below the housing 2, an air outlet 4 mounted above the screen of the water outlet 3, a connecting flange 5 mounted below the air outlet 4, an air inlet 6 mounted below the connecting flange 5, a double-row air inlet 7 mounted above the air inlet 6, a spiral baffle 8 mounted on the right side of the double-row air inlet 7, an isolation plate 9 mounted above the spiral baffle 8, a vent pipe 10 mounted below the isolation plate 9, a secondary filter plate 11 mounted inside the vent pipe 10, a filter plate 13 mounted below the secondary filter plate 11, and a water level monitoring device 12 mounted above the filter plate 13.

[0019] Among them, the air inlet 6 converts a single large air inlet into two smaller dual-row air inlets 7 through the connecting flange 5.

[0020] In this embodiment, the structural flexibility is greatly increased, allowing the entire intake system to better adapt to different intake requirements. From the perspective of intake function, the dual-row intake design helps to distribute airflow more rationally, making the intake process more stable and uniform, thereby effectively improving intake efficiency. The intake method can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs, thereby improving the compatibility and performance of the entire device or system.

[0021] Among them, an isolation plate 9 is installed above the spiral baffle 8, which allows water vapor to move downwards only. The water is thrown out by centrifugal force and falls downwards under the action of gravity, while the gas rises through the vent pipe 10 and is discharged through the outlet 4 after being filtered again by the secondary filter plate 11.

[0022] In this embodiment, gravity and centrifugal force are cleverly utilized to achieve gas-liquid separation. This process does not require additional complex power devices, making it an energy-efficient and highly effective gas-liquid separation method. It improves product quality. Simultaneously, it helps reduce equipment maintenance costs because pure gas causes less corrosion and wear to the equipment, extending its service life.

[0023] When the water level exceeds the warning limit, the water level monitoring device 12 will send an excessive water warning to the connected smart device through its built-in signal transmitter.

[0024] In this embodiment, it can be connected to smart devices to achieve intelligent water level monitoring. This prevents short circuits and corrosion caused by water overflow, effectively protecting equipment safety, avoiding production stoppages due to equipment failure, and thus extending the equipment's lifespan.

[0025] The filter plate 13 performs simple filtration on the water that slides down the pipe wall, filtering out large particles of impurities contained in the water.

[0026] In this embodiment, large particulate impurities can be prevented from entering subsequent finer filtration equipment or water circulation systems, avoiding damage such as clogging or wear to these devices. This ensures the normal operation of the equipment, reduces maintenance costs, and improves the overall system efficiency and stability.

[0027] Working principle: In actual operation, the first step is to introduce water vapor into the equipment through the air inlet 6. Then, the dual air inlets 7 begin to function, which can divert the introduced water vapor and guide it to different areas inside the equipment.

[0028] Once the steam enters the equipment, it encounters the spiral baffle 8. The spiral baffle 8 has a special structure and function; it causes the steam to move downwards along a spiral path. During this process, due to centrifugal force, water in the steam is thrown out. The thrown-out water then slowly slides down the pipe wall under the influence of gravity.

[0029] Meanwhile, the gas, after initial separation, continues along the predetermined channel. It enters the vent pipe 10, where a secondary filter plate 11 is installed. As the gas passes through the secondary filter plate 11, it undergoes further purification before finally exiting the equipment through the outlet 4.

[0030] The separated water droplets continue to move downwards under the influence of gravity. They pass through filter plate 13, which filters out larger impurities. After being filtered by filter plate 13, these water droplets collect at outlet 3 and then flow out of the equipment.

[0031] In the description of this utility model, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
