[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water purification technology, and in particular to a zero-energy wastewater treatment device based on ultra-black aerogel photothermal material. Background Technology
[0002] Ultra-black photothermal materials refer to materials that strongly absorb sunlight and can convert the absorbed solar energy into heat energy for release, thereby causing a sharp increase in their surface temperature.
[0003] With the overexploitation of water resources, water quality-related water shortages have exacerbated the situation. The drinking water problem for residents in desert areas is a difficult problem to solve. The drinking water problem in such areas not only includes the source of water but also the purification of water. There are many purification methods, but the cost of using and operating general purification methods is high, making it difficult to initially meet the domestic water needs of desert areas. Therefore, a zero-energy wastewater treatment device based on ultra-black aerogel photothermal material is proposed. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a zero-energy wastewater treatment device based on ultra-black aerogel photothermal material, aiming to improve the problem that the existing purification methods have high usage and operating costs and are difficult to initially meet the domestic water needs of desert areas.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A zero-energy wastewater treatment device based on ultra-black aerogel photothermal material includes a water tank and ultra-black photothermal material. A rainwater storage tank and a condensate storage tank are formed on the upper surface of the water tank. The outer wall of the ultra-black photothermal material is slidably connected to the inner wall of the rainwater storage tank. A fixing frame is attached to the upper surface of the water tank. A glass plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing frame. A water conveying component is provided on the outer wall of the water tank for conveying water.
[0007] Preferably, the water supply assembly includes an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe.

A first pipe cap is provided at one end of the inlet pipe, and a second pipe cap is provided at one end of the outlet pipe.
[0008] Preferably, a U-shaped frame is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed frame, and a T-shaped groove is provided on the inner wall of the U-shaped frame.
[0009] Preferably, a rectangular block is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the water tank, the outer wall of the rectangular block is provided with a sliding groove, and the upper surface of the rectangular block is provided with a limiting groove.

[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] 1. In this utility model, rainwater is adsorbed into the pore structure of the super black photothermal material through its rich pore structure and hydrophilicity. Under sunlight, the photothermal conversion characteristics of the super black material are used to turn the liquid water in the super black photothermal material into gaseous water.

In this utility model, simply pressing the sliding block causes it to slide on the inner wall of the groove and exert pressure on the spring, causing the spring to contract and drive the T-shaped block to slide out from the inner wall of the T-groove. This completes the disassembly of the fixing frame and the glass plate, thereby achieving the effect of quickly disassembling the fixing frame and the glass plate. This facilitates the cleaning and maintenance of the inside of the water tank and improves the quality of operation. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0022] 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, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0023] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 2 This utility model provides an embodiment of a zero-energy wastewater treatment device based on ultra-black aerogel photothermal material, comprising a water tank 1 and ultra-black photothermal material 4. A rainwater storage tank 2 and a condensate storage tank 3 are formed on the upper surface of the water tank 1. The outer wall of the ultra-black photothermal material 4 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the rainwater storage tank 2. A fixing frame 5 is attached to the upper surface of the water tank 1. A glass plate 6 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing frame 5. A water conveying assembly is provided on the outer wall of the water tank 1 for conveying water. The water conveying assembly includes an inlet pipe 7 and an outlet pipe 8. The outer wall of the inlet pipe 7 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the water tank 1, and the outer wall of the outlet pipe 8 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the water tank 1. A first pipe cap 9 is provided at one end of the inlet pipe 7, and a second pipe cap 10 is provided at one end of the outlet pipe 8.
[0024] Specifically, in the actual use of this processing device, rainwater enters the rainwater storage tank 2, and then the ultra-black photothermal material 4 floats on the surface of the rainwater. Under the irradiation of sunlight, the liquid water in the ultra-black photothermal material 4 turns into gaseous water. After evaporation and rising, it comes into contact with the glass plate 6 and accumulates into condensate. Due to the inclined design of the glass plate 6, the condensate flows along the lower surface of the glass plate 6 into the interior of the condensate storage tank 3. After accumulating to a certain extent, it can be discharged through the outlet pipe 8 for daily use.
[0025] Reference Figure 3 The outer wall of the fixed frame 5 is fixedly connected to a U-shaped frame 11, and the inner wall of the U-shaped frame 11 is provided with a T-shaped groove 12;
[0026] Specifically, the fixing bracket 5 can fix the U-shaped bracket 11.
[0027] Reference Figure 3 A rectangular block 13 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the water tank 1. A sliding groove 14 is provided on the outer wall of the rectangular block 13. A limiting groove 15 is provided on the upper surface of the rectangular block 13. One end of a spring 18 is fixedly connected to the inside of the rectangular block 13. A sliding block 16 is fixedly connected to the other end of the spring 18. The outer wall of the sliding block 16 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove 14. A T-shaped block 17 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the sliding block 16. The outer wall of the T-shaped block 17 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove 15. The outer wall of the T-shaped block 17 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the T-shaped groove 12.
[0028] Specifically, the spring 18 is used to reset the sliding block 16, mainly for quick installation of the fixing frame 5. The slide groove 14 is used to provide space for the sliding block 16 to move, and the limiting groove 15 is used to limit the T-shaped block 17.
[0029] Working principle: Rainwater storage tank 2 is used to collect and store rainwater, ultra-black photothermal material 4 is used to evaporate rainwater, glass plate 6 is used to condense water vapor, and condensate storage tank 3 is used to store the collected condensate. Ultra-black photothermal material 4 is floated on the rainwater surface. Due to its rich porous structure and hydrophilicity, it can adsorb rainwater into its pores through capillary action. Under sunlight, utilizing the photothermal conversion characteristics of the ultra-black material, the liquid water in the ultra-black photothermal material 4 is converted into gaseous water. Pollutants in the wastewater, such as silt, bacteria, and heavy metal ions, do not evaporate with the water, thus achieving wastewater purification, hard water softening, and brine desalination in an energy-free manner. The evaporated water vapor is condensed and collected to obtain pure water for production and domestic use. Besides the core components of the production process, condensate storage tank 3 and glass plate 6 are also used. Apart from requiring regular maintenance, the glass plate 6 requires no additional energy or cost during use, achieving zero energy consumption and low cost. When it is necessary to open the glass plate 6 to clean and maintain the inside of the water tank 1, simply press the sliding block 16 to make it slide on the inner wall of the slide groove 14 and apply pressure to the spring 18, causing the spring 18 to contract. As the sliding block 16 moves inward, it will drive the T-shaped block 17 to slide on the inner wall of the limiting groove 15 and also slide out from the inner wall of the T-shaped groove 12. When the T-shaped block 17 has completely slid out from the inner wall of the T-shaped groove 12, the fixing frame 5 and the glass plate 6 can be disassembled. At this time, the inside of the water tank 1 can be maintained and cleaned, thereby achieving the effect of quickly disassembling the fixing frame 5 and the glass plate 6, which facilitates the cleaning and maintenance of the inside of the water tank 1 and improves the quality of operation.
[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
