Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of evaporation technology, and in particular to an evaporation apparatus. Background Technology

[0002] Natural salt production involves enclosing seawater and exposing it to the sun, causing the water to evaporate and gradually crystallize into solid salt. This method of salt concentration has low evaporation efficiency and requires a high level of manual labor. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, this application provides an evaporation device that can improve evaporation efficiency and the service life of the evaporation curtain.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this application employs the following technical solution:

[0005] An evaporation device, characterized in that it includes an evaporation tank, a support, an evaporation assembly, a lifting device, and a water distribution device. The support is fixedly installed on the evaporation tank. The evaporation assembly includes an evaporation rack vertically slidably connected to the support and multiple evaporation curtains fixedly installed on the evaporation rack. The lifting device is installed on the support and connected to the evaporation rack for driving the evaporation assembly to move up and down. When the evaporation assembly descends, the evaporation curtains can sink into the evaporation tank. The water distribution device is installed on the support for spraying liquid in the evaporation tank onto the evaporation curtains.

[0006] The aforementioned evaporation device increases the evaporation area and improves evaporation efficiency by spraying liquid from an evaporation tank onto an evaporation curtain. Furthermore, the evaporation assembly is height-adjustable; in extreme weather conditions, the evaporation curtain can be lowered into the water of the evaporation tank to prevent damage from strong winds or heavy rain, thus extending its service life. The height-adjustable evaporation assembly also allows for easy installation of the evaporation curtain. Moreover, this evaporation device has a simple structure and low manufacturing cost.

[0007] In some embodiments, the water distribution device includes a spray pipe disposed above the evaporation assembly and rotatably connected to a support, a drive motor connected to one end of the spray pipe for driving the spray pipe to reciprocate left and right, a rotary joint disposed at the other end of the spray pipe and communicating with the spray pipe, a water supply pipe connected to the rotary joint, and a water pump connected to the water supply pipe. The rotary joint is used to prevent the water supply pipe from rotating together with the spray pipe. This water distribution device uses the reciprocating oscillation of the spray pipe to distribute water; this structure is simple and has low manufacturing cost.

[0008] In some embodiments, the evaporation assembly has two rows, left and right, respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the support frame. Each row contains two or more evaporation assemblies spaced apart along the front-to-back direction. By setting two rows of evaporation assemblies, the stability of the support structure can be ensured, and evaporation assemblies can be installed as many times as possible.

[0009] In some embodiments, the evaporator is slidably connected to the support via a vertically extending linear guide mechanism, which is a slider rail assembly or a roller rail assembly. It can also be a guide rod and guide sleeve structure, etc.

[0010] In some embodiments, the lifting device is a winch fixedly mounted on a bracket, and the connecting rope on the winch is connected to the evaporator rack via pulleys. The lifting device can also be a cylinder, a lead screw and nut, a gear and rack, or other structures.

[0011] In some embodiments, the support frame is fixedly equipped with downward-extending anchors for anchoring to the sludge layer in the evaporation tank, and a floating plate is also fixedly installed in the middle of the support frame to prevent it from sinking. The anchors primarily serve to resist pull-out, while the floating plate primarily prevents the support frame from sinking. Furthermore, using anchors to fix the support frame eliminates the need for cement curing, further reducing manufacturing costs.

[0012] In some embodiments, the anchor includes a rod fixedly connected to the column of the support. The rod has helical blades on its outer periphery and a pointed lower portion. The helical blades facilitate the rod's spiral rotation into the silt layer and also act as a stop to prevent the rod from being pulled upwards. To further increase pull-out resistance, barbs or other structures can also be provided on the rod.

[0013] In some embodiments, a first channel running through the center of the support frame in a front-to-back direction is provided, and the floats are arranged in two rows, left and right, distributed on the left and right sides of the first channel, thus forming a second channel running through the center of the two rows of floats in a front-to-back direction. A movable boat is arranged in the second channel, and the movable boat moves back and forth in the second channel. Since a crystal layer forms on the water surface during the use of the evaporation tank, the reciprocating movement of the movable boat can break up the formation of this crystal layer, thereby improving the evaporation efficiency.

[0014] In some embodiments, the support frame is provided with multiple third and fourth channels that are interconnected on both sides of the first channel and spaced apart in the front-back direction. Two sets of fans are fixedly installed on the movable vessel, spaced apart on both sides. The left fan blows air into the left-side third channel, and the right fan blows air into the right-side fourth channel. By blowing air into the third and fourth channels from the left and right fans respectively, the airflow is increased, thereby improving evaporation efficiency.

[0015] In some embodiments, the fan is connected to a oscillating mechanism for adjusting its angle. The movable boat is powered by the fan and has two states: forward and backward. When the boat is moving forward, the left fan faces downward to the left and the right fan faces downward to the right; when the boat is moving backward, the left fan faces upward to the left and the right fan faces upward to the right. This movable boat is powered by the fan, requiring no additional power source, has a simple structure, low manufacturing cost, and is easy to use.

[0016] As can be seen from the above technical solution, this application has at least the following advantages and positive effects:

[0017] This application discloses an evaporation device that increases the evaporation area and thus improves evaporation efficiency by spraying liquid from an evaporation tank onto an evaporation curtain. Furthermore, the evaporation assembly is height-adjustable; in extreme weather conditions, the evaporation curtain can be lowered into the water of the evaporation tank to prevent damage from strong winds or heavy rain, thereby extending its service life. The height-adjustable evaporation assembly also allows for easy installation of the evaporation curtain. Moreover, this evaporation device has a simple structure and low manufacturing cost.

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The terminology used in the embodiments section of this application is only for explaining specific embodiments and is not intended to limit the application.

[0028] See Figures 1 to 8 This application provides an evaporation device, including an evaporation tank 1, a support 2, an evaporation assembly 3, a lifting device 4, and a water distribution device 5. The support 2 is fixedly installed on the evaporation tank 1. The evaporation assembly 3 includes an evaporation rack 31 vertically slidably connected to the support 2 and a plurality of evaporation curtains 32 fixedly installed on the evaporation rack 31. The lifting device 4 is installed on the support 2 and connected to the evaporation rack 31 to drive the evaporation assembly 3 to move up and down. When the evaporation assembly 3 descends, the evaporation curtains 32 can sink into the evaporation tank 1. The water distribution device 5 is installed on the support 2 and is used to spray the liquid in the evaporation tank 1 onto the evaporation curtains 32.

[0029] This evaporation device increases the evaporation area and thus improves evaporation efficiency by spraying liquid from the evaporation tank 1 onto the evaporation curtain 32. Furthermore, the evaporation assembly 3 is height-adjustable; in extreme weather conditions, the evaporation curtain 32 can be lowered into the water of the evaporation tank 1, preventing damage from strong winds or heavy rain and extending its service life. The height-adjustable evaporation assembly 3 also allows for easy installation of the evaporation curtain 32. Moreover, this evaporation device has a simple structure and low manufacturing cost.

[0030] The water distribution device 5 includes a spray pipe 51 mounted above the evaporation assembly 3 and rotatably connected to the support 2; a drive motor 52 connected to one end of the spray pipe 51 for reciprocating rotation of the spray pipe 51; a rotary joint 53 located at the other end of the spray pipe 51 and communicating with it; a water supply pipe 54 connected to the rotary joint 53; and a water pump 55 connected to the water supply pipe 54. The rotary joint 53 is used to prevent the water supply pipe 54 from rotating together with the spray pipe 51. This water distribution device 5 uses the reciprocating oscillation of the spray pipe 51 for water distribution; this structure is simple and has low manufacturing cost.

[0031] The evaporation components 3 have two rows, left and right, which are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the support 2. Each row has more than two evaporation components 3, which are spaced apart along the front-to-back direction. By setting two rows of evaporation components 3, the stability of the support 2 structure can be ensured, and the evaporation components 3 can be installed as many times as possible.

[0032] The evaporator 31 is slidably connected to the support 2 via a vertically extending linear guide mechanism, which is a slider rail assembly or a roller rail assembly 6. It can also be a guide rod and guide sleeve structure, etc.

[0033] The lifting device 4 is a winch fixedly installed on the bracket 2, and the connecting rope 42 on the winch is connected to the evaporator rack 31 through the pulley 41. The lifting device 4 can also be a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, lead screw and nut, gear rack or other structure.

[0034] Anchors 7 extending downwards are fixedly installed on the support frame 2 for anchoring to the sludge layer 11 in the evaporation tank 1. A floating plate 8 is also fixedly installed in the middle of the support frame 2 to prevent it from sinking. The anchors 7 mainly serve to resist pull-out, while the floating plate 8 mainly prevents the support frame 2 from sinking. Moreover, using anchors 7 to fix the support frame 2 eliminates the need for cement curing, further saving on manufacturing costs.

[0035] The anchor 7 includes a rod 71 fixedly connected to the column of the support 2. The rod 71 has helical blades 72 on its outer periphery, and its lower part is pointed. The helical blades 72 facilitate the rod 71's spiral rotation into the silt layer 11, and also act as a limiter to prevent the rod 71 from being pulled upwards. To further increase pull-out resistance, barbs or other structures can also be provided on the rod 71.

[0036] A first channel 21 running through the center of the support frame 2 is provided, and the floats 8 are arranged in two rows on the left and right sides. The floats 8 in the two rows are distributed on the left and right sides of the first channel 21, thus forming a second channel 81 running through the center of the two rows of floats 8. A movable boat 9 is arranged in the second channel 81 and moves back and forth in the second channel 81. Since a crystal layer will form on the water surface during the use of the evaporation tank 1, the reciprocating movement of the movable boat 9 can break the formation of this crystal layer, thereby improving the evaporation efficiency.

[0037] The support frame 2 has multiple interconnected third channels 22 and fourth channels 23 spaced apart along the front-back direction on both sides of the first channel 21. Two sets of spaced-apart fans 91 are fixedly installed on the movable vessel 9. The left fan 91 blows air into the left third channel 22, and the right fan 91 blows air into the right fourth channel 23. By blowing air into the third channels 22 and fourth channels 23 by the fans 91 on both sides, the airflow is increased, which can improve evaporation efficiency. Photovoltaic panels can be installed on the movable vessel 9 to power the fans.

[0038] The fan 91 is connected to a swaying mechanism for adjusting its angle. The movable boat 9 is powered by the fan 91 and has two modes: forward and backward. When the movable boat 9 is moving forward, the left fan 91 faces downward to the left and the right fan 91 faces downward to the right; when the movable boat 9 is moving backward, the left fan 91 faces upward to the left and the right fan 91 faces upward to the right. This movable boat 9 is powered by the fan 91, requiring no additional power source, and features a simple structure, low manufacturing cost, and ease of use.

[0039] The following is a brief description of the working process and usage method of an evaporation device according to the above embodiments:

[0040] During operation, the lifting device 4 raises each evaporation component 3 to a higher position. The water pump 55 and drive motor 52 are then activated, causing the spray pipe 51 to sway left and right, spraying water from the evaporation tank 1 onto the evaporation curtain 32. The liquid evaporates and crystallizes on the evaporation curtain 32. In windy conditions, the evaporation curtain 32 can be lowered into the water for protection. Furthermore, the movable boat 9 reciprocates in the middle of the support 2, which can break down the crystallization layer on the water surface, thereby improving the evaporation efficiency of the evaporation tank.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit them; although the embodiments of this application have been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
