Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of seawater desalination engineering technology, and in particular to a seawater desalination device. Background Technology

[0002] Given the Earth's abundant seawater resources, desalination would greatly facilitate numerous water-using projects. Currently, seawater desalination primarily relies on evaporation devices. As is well known, seawater evaporates to produce water, which can then condense into freshwater. Evaporation equipment is mainly used for the evaporation, storage, collection, and transportation of desalinated water. However, current seawater desalination devices are structurally complex, and their desalinated water collection mechanisms are simplistic and cannot be adjusted according to actual application environments. Often, desalinated water is not collected promptly and drips back into the seawater storage space, slowing down the desalination process.

[0003] Therefore, based on the above-mentioned technical problems, those skilled in the art urgently need to develop a seawater desalination device. Utility Model Content

[0047] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0048] See Figures 1 to 6 As shown;

[0049] This embodiment discloses a seawater desalination device, which includes:

[0050] Container 1, the internal space of which is a seawater storage space for storing seawater to be desalinated;

[0051] An evaporation component is installed on the upper part of the housing 1, and the evaporation component is a light-transmitting component 2, which serves as a freshwater carrier; and

[0052] Freshwater conduit structure 3 is connected to light-transmitting component 2;

[0053] The device can adjust the tilt angle of the light-transmitting component 2 to tilt the light-transmitting component 2 toward the fresh water conduit structure 3 and drive the evaporated fresh water to flow toward the fresh water conduit structure 3.

[0054] The device has an outlet 103 near the bottom, and a freshwater conduit structure 3 is led out from the outlet 103 and connected to the water tank 1 outside the device.

[0055] Specifically, this embodiment discloses a seawater desalination device with a simple structure, convenient for use in various operating environments. It is mainly used to evaporate and desalinate seawater to obtain fresh water for user use. First, the main body of the device is a box 1, which stores seawater and is completely sealed. Second, to receive sunlight and fully utilize solar energy, a light-transmitting component 2 is installed on the top of the box 1 in this embodiment. Sunlight passes through multiple layers of glass, film, or other light-transmitting materials and, in conjunction with a heat-absorbing plate at the bottom of the box 1, heats the seawater inside the box 1. These are all relatively conventional technical points of existing evaporation devices; therefore, the principle of seawater evaporation will not be elaborated upon in this application. The purpose of this application is to solve the problem of low freshwater recovery rate of existing light-transmitting components 2. Therefore, the device of this embodiment can drive the light-transmitting component 2 at the top of the box 1 to tilt towards the freshwater guiding structure, so that the freshwater adhering to the surface of the light-transmitting component 2 due to evaporation can be guided into the freshwater guiding structure 3 and finally to the outside for storage in the external water tank 303.

[0056] Preferably, in this embodiment, the box body 1 is configured with an open top, and a light-transmitting component 2 is installed at the open top of the box body 1; a slot extending circumferentially along the inner wall of the box body 1 is provided at the upper end of the box body 1, and the light-transmitting component 2 is embedded in the slot; a seawater supply port 101 is provided at the upper part of the box body 1 on the side opposite to the water outlet 103, and the seawater supply port 101 is closed by a sealing plug 102.

[0057] In this embodiment, the light-transmitting component 2 can be detachably installed on the upper part of the housing 1, or it can be a non-detachable structure. It should be noted that, to reduce heat loss and water leakage, the connection between the light-transmitting component 2 and the housing 1 needs to be sealed with a sealing strip. Secondly, in this embodiment, seawater is replenished into the housing 1 through the seawater inlet 101 on the side. After replenishment, the seawater inlet 101 needs to be sealed with a sealing plug 102. This prevents heat loss during evaporation, and the sealing plug 102 can be removed to replenish water when the housing 1 is low on water.

[0058] Preferably, the light-transmitting component 2 in this embodiment is a glass component, a thin film component, or a lens structure. When the light-transmitting component 2 is a glass component, the glass component has three layers of glass that are separated from each other, and the three layers of glass that are separated from each other are connected as one piece by a frame. Specifically, sunlight passes through the three layers of glass of the glass component 2 and heats the seawater in the box 1. The evaporated water obtained from the seawater evaporation adheres to the surface of the bottom glass layer.

[0059] Preferably, the freshwater conduit structure 3 of this embodiment includes a guide pipe 301 extending along the inner wall of the tank 1, and an outlet pipe 302 communicating with the guide pipe 301, passing through the outlet 103, and extending to the outside of the tank 1 and communicating with the water tank 303.

[0060] A guide plate 201 is provided between the water inlet end of the guide pipe 301 and the light-transmitting component 2.

[0061] In this embodiment, the guide plate 201 mainly guides the fresh water attached to the light-transmitting component 2 into the guide pipe 301. Therefore, in this embodiment, the guide plate 201 is disposed on the side of the light-transmitting component 2 near the guide pipe 301. The guide pipe 301 is configured such that one end is attached to the lower surface of the lowest glass layer of the light-transmitting component 2, and the other end extends toward the water inlet end of the guide pipe 301 and is partially embedded in the guide pipe 301.

[0062] In this embodiment, to guide the fresh water adhering to the bottom glass surface after evaporation from the light-transmitting component 2, directing it into the fresh water guiding structure 3 and discharging it outside the device for collection, the guide plate 201 in this embodiment is a plate with a width matching the glass. One end is connected to the bottom glass, and the other end extends obliquely towards the guide tube 301. Since the light-transmitting component 2 is tilted, the fresh water adhering to it flows towards the guide plate 201, and is then guided into the guide tube 301 by the guide plate 201. It should be noted that... Yes, since the guide plate 201 has a certain width, and the diameter of the guide pipe 301 is necessarily smaller than the width of the guide plate 201, the guide pipe 301 in this embodiment can be designed to be connected to the opening of the guide plate 201. At the same time, the guide plate 201 is designed as a sloping structure, and it is designed to be inclined towards the guide pipe 301 in both the horizontal and vertical directions. In this way, the fresh water collected by the guide plate 201 will be discharged into the guide pipe 301 and finally discharged into the external water tank 303 through the outlet pipe 302.

[0063] Preferably, in this embodiment, the outer diameter of the water outlet pipe 302 is smaller than the opening diameter of the water outlet 103 of the box 1, and a sealing ring is provided at the connection between the water outlet pipe 302 and the water outlet 103. Example

[0064] The first structure of this application that can drive the light-transmitting component 2 at the upper end of the box 1 to tilt toward the fresh water guiding structure 3 is: the structure of the device for adjusting the tilt angle of the light-transmitting component 2 is an adjustment bracket 5 set at the bottom of the box 1.

[0065] The adjustment bracket 5 includes a bracket 502; and a rotating hinge 501. The end of the bracket 502 is connected to the bottom of the housing 1 via the rotating hinge 501 to adjust the tilt angle of the entire device; and the guide plate 201 is tilted in the opposite direction to the light-transmitting component 2.

[0066] In this embodiment, the overall tilt angle of the device is adjusted by designing an adjustable bracket 5 at the bottom of the housing 1. The device tilts via the bracket 502 and the rotating hinge 501, causing the light-transmitting component 2 at the top to tilt and extend as well. This allows the fresh water adhering to the surface of the light-transmitting component 2 to flow towards the guide plate 201 and be briefly collected on the guide plate 201 before being guided into the guide pipe 301. Note that after adjustment, since the housing 1 itself is tilted, depending on the actual working environment, necessary support frames or other structures that can support the housing 1 can be set around the housing 1 to help the adjustable bracket 5 maintain the tilt angle of the housing 1.

[0067] This first embodiment only introduces the concept of adjusting the overall tilt of the box 1 by adjusting the bracket 5. However, this application does not limit the adjustment bracket 5 and all external structures used to maintain the tilt angle of the box 1. Since there are many structures, this application only introduces the structure that mainly tilts the box 1. Example

[0068] As a second scheme of this application that can drive the light-transmitting component 2 at the upper end of the box 1 to tilt, specifically: the light-transmitting component 2 of the box 1 in this embodiment 2 is configured as an inclined structure; and the deflector plate 201 is in the opposite tilt direction to the light-transmitting component 2.

[0069] In order to cooperate with the light-transmitting component 2 above to heat up and evaporate the seawater inside the box 1, a heat-absorbing plate 4 is provided at the bottom of the box 1 inside this embodiment, and the inner wall of the box 1 is coated with black paint.

[0070] To prevent internal heat loss, the exterior of the housing 1 in this embodiment is equipped with an insulation structure.

[0071] In addition, this application can install sensors in the tank body and water tank respectively to monitor seawater and fresh water, and use a controller to control the operation of the water pump so that it can replenish water when it is short of water and stop the operation of the pump when it is full of water.

[0072] The seawater desalination device provided by this utility model, as described above, has the following beneficial effects:

[0073] The device of this invention can adjust the angle of the freshwater carrier to increase the amount of freshwater collected by the freshwater pipe, reduce the probability of freshwater not being recovered in time due to diversion problems and dripping back into the seawater storage space, and the overall structure is simpler, meeting the requirements for seawater desalination in water-scarce and difficult areas.

[0074] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
