Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air-to-water technology, and in particular to a high-altitude emergency water production device. Background Technology
[0002] When performing tasks or operations in high-altitude or remote areas far from conventional water sources, such as plateaus, islands, and deserts, personnel face severe challenges in replenishing fresh water. Due to the special high-altitude environment, thin air, and uneven humidity distribution, traditional water storage methods are limited by carrying capacity and storage conditions, making it difficult to meet long-term emergency needs. Therefore, an high-altitude emergency water production device that can directly extract water from the high-altitude air has emerged. It collects and condenses water vapor in the air, converting gaseous water into liquid drinking water, providing an important water source guarantee for high-altitude emergency scenarios.
[0003] Existing high-altitude emergency water production devices typically include a refrigeration unit, a heat dissipation unit, a condensate collection unit, and an air circulation unit. The basic principle is that humid air from the external environment is driven by a fan and flows over the cold end surface of the refrigeration element. When the humid air comes into contact with the cold end surface, which is below its dew point temperature, the water vapor in the air undergoes a phase change due to supersaturation, condenses into liquid water droplets, and is eventually collected and stored, completing the water production process.
[0004] However, due to insufficient heat exchange efficiency and flow field control in the existing equipment's cold air flow path and humid air flow path, on the one hand, the cold energy generated at the cold end is difficult to be uniformly and efficiently transferred to the condensing surface and maintain its temperature stability; on the other hand, the humid air often simply flows through the condensing surface without effective guidance and retention design, resulting in a large amount of water vapor being carried away before it has fully contacted the low-temperature surface or before it has time to complete condensation. The combined effect of this unstable temperature difference and the short residence time of the airflow leads to the low overall water production efficiency of the existing equipment. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the above deficiencies, this utility model provides a high-altitude emergency water production device, which aims to improve the problem of low overall water production efficiency caused by insufficient heat exchange efficiency and flow field control in the cold air flow path and humid air flow path of the existing device, resulting in unstable temperature difference and short airflow residence time.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a high-altitude emergency water production device, including a water storage tank, a condensate pipe fixedly connected to the upper surface of the water storage tank, an air inlet screen fixedly connected to the upper surface of the condensate pipe, a fan fixedly connected to the inner wall of the condensate pipe, and a heat exchange component provided on the inner wall of the condensate pipe.
[0007] The heat exchange assembly includes multiple hexagonal boxes, which are disposed inside the condensate pipe. The hexagonal boxes are staggered with guide plates on opposite sides. A heat exchange shell is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the hexagonal box, and the outer wall of the heat exchange shell is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the condensate pipe.
[0008] Furthermore, an air inlet pipe is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the heat exchange shell, an air outlet louver is fixedly connected to the other side of the outer wall of the heat exchange shell, and a cold air box is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the air inlet pipe.
[0009] Furthermore, a semiconductor cooling chip is provided on one side of the outer wall of the cold air box, and a heat-conducting fin and a second fan are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cold air box. The two ends of the heat-conducting fin are located between the semiconductor cooling chip and the second fan.
[0010] Furthermore, a bracket is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the condensate pipe, a support plate is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the bracket, a rotating column is provided on the inner wall of the support plate, and a support plate is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the rotating column.
[0011] Furthermore, a slot base is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the second support plate, a hinge support is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the slot base, a bracket is provided on the inner wall of the first hinge support, and a solar panel is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the second bracket.
[0012] Furthermore, a hinge support is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the second bracket, and a locking rod is provided on the inner wall of the second hinge support, with one end of the locking rod being disposed on the inner wall of the slot base.
[0013] Furthermore, a spring is fitted around the outside of the rotating column, with one end of the spring fixedly connected to the lower surface of the second support plate and the other end of the spring fixedly connected to the upper surface of the first support plate.
[0014] Furthermore, a second locking rod is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the rotating column, and a locking block is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the support plate. The inner wall of the second locking rod is slidably connected to the outer wall of the locking block.
[0015] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] 1. In this utility model, a semiconductor cooling chip is energized for cooling, and a second fan blows cold air into the hollow hexagonal box, causing the temperature inside the box to drop rapidly. The humid air flows around the outside air of the box, and the airflow is forced to meander by the guide plate. Water vapor fully contacts the low-temperature hexagonal box wall and condenses. The temperature difference between the cold air inside the hexagonal box and the outside humid air enables water vapor to condense into droplets quickly. This solves the problems of unstable temperature difference and short airflow residence in existing devices, which lead to low water production efficiency, thereby improving water production efficiency and enhancing the practicality of the device.
[0017] 2. In this utility model, by pressing the support plate two to overcome the spring force and move it downward, the locking rod two is disengaged from the locking block. The rotating column is rotated to adjust the horizontal orientation of the solar panel. After the spring returns to its original position, the locking rod two engages and locks with the locking block. The locking rod one is pulled out and inserted into different slots of the slot base. At the same time, the bracket two rotates around the hinge support to adjust the pitch angle and match the solar altitude angle, thereby ensuring the stability of power supply and improving the practicality of the device.

[0026] 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.
[0027] Reference Figures 1-4 This utility model provides an embodiment of an emergency high-altitude water production device, comprising a water storage tank 1 for storing liquid water generated by condensation. A condensate pipe 2 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the water storage tank 1 to accommodate heat exchange components and guide the flow of humid air. A closed space is provided for heat exchange between the humid air and the heat exchange components. An air intake screen 3 for introducing high-altitude humid air is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the condensate pipe 2. A fan 4 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the condensate pipe 2. A heat exchange component is installed on the inner wall of the condensate pipe 2, comprising multiple hexagonal boxes 5. Each hexagonal box 5 is composed of a hollow hexagonal prism shell to increase the condensation surface area. The hexagonal boxes 5 are located inside the condensate pipe 2. Guide plates 6 are staggered on opposite sides of each hexagonal box 5, and the guide plates 6 are fixed to the outer wall of the hexagonal box 5. The guide plates 6 have a certain angle of inclination. A heat exchange shell 7 is connected to encapsulate the hexagonal box 5 and is fixed inside the condensate pipe 2. The outer wall of the heat exchange shell 7 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the condensate pipe 2. An air inlet pipe 8 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the heat exchange shell 7, and an air outlet louver 13 is fixedly connected to the other side of the outer wall of the heat exchange shell 7 to discharge the air that has completed heat exchange inside the hexagonal box 5. The air outlet louver 13 ensures smooth circulation of cold air and avoids excessive air pressure inside the box from affecting the cooling effect. A cold air box 9 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the air inlet pipe 8. A semiconductor cooling chip 10 is set on one side of the outer wall of the cold air box 9. The semiconductor cooling chip 10 adopts the Peltier effect ceramic cooling chip, which is used for precise temperature control. This is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. A heat-conducting fin 11 and a second fan 12 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cold air box 9. The two ends of the heat-conducting fin 11 are set between the semiconductor cooling chip 10 and the second fan 12.
[0028] Specifically, the fan 4, in conjunction with the air intake grille 3, draws in high-altitude humid air. The humid air is pushed along the condensate pipe 2 towards the heat exchange components, thus providing power for the flow of humid air and ensuring that the airflow continuously enters the heat exchange area. The heat-conducting fins 11, in conjunction with the semiconductor cooling chip 10, rapidly diffuse the cooling energy to the airflow, achieving a uniform temperature distribution within the cold air box 9. The fan 12, in conjunction with the cold air box 9 and the air intake pipe 8, sends the cooled air into the hexagonal box 5, thereby promoting the circulation of cold air and ensuring the continuous cooling effect of the hexagonal box 5. The guide plate 6 forces the humid air to meander between the hexagonal boxes 5, increasing the residence time of the humid air and allowing water vapor to fully contact the low-temperature box wall, thereby improving the condensation efficiency.
[0029] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6A bracket 14 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the condensate pipe 2. A support plate 15 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the bracket 14. A rotating column 22 is provided on the inner wall of the support plate 15. A support plate 26 for installing a slot base 17 and connecting the rotating column 22 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the rotating column 22. A slot base 17 with multiple slots is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support plate 26. A hinge support 18 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the slot base 17. A bracket 29 for installing a solar panel 26 is provided on the inner wall of the hinge support 18. A solar panel 26 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the bracket 29. The solar panel 26 is used to convert light energy into electrical energy to power the fan 4, the fan 2 12, and the semiconductor cooling chip 10, realizing the energy self-sufficiency of the device. To improve applicability in emergency scenarios, a hinge support 20 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the second bracket 19. A locking rod 21 is provided on the inner wall of the hinge support 20. The locking rod 21 cooperates with the slot base 17 to fix the pitch angle in stages. One end of the locking rod 21 is set on the inner wall of the slot base 17. A spring 23 is sleeved on the outside of the rotating column 22. One end of the spring 23 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the second support plate 16, and the other end of the spring 23 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the first support plate 15. A locking rod 24 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the rotating column 22. A ring-shaped locking block 25 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the first support plate 15 to provide multiple locking positions for the locking rod 24. After the rotating column 22 is adjusted, it locks with the corresponding locking block 25. The inner wall of the locking rod 24 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the locking block 25.
[0030] Specifically, the slot base 17, in conjunction with the locking rod 21 and the hinge support 18, provides support and angle positioning for the rotation of the bracket 19. The locking rod 21 is inserted into different slots on the slot base 17 to fix the angle of the bracket 19, thereby achieving the effect of fixing the pitch angle of the solar panel 26. The bracket 19 is used to install the solar panel 26 and connect the hinge support 18 and the hinge support 20, supporting the solar panel 26 and transmitting the angle adjustment action, ensuring that the solar panel 26 moves synchronously with the adjustment structure. By pressing the support plate 16, the user overcomes the elastic force of the spring 23 and compresses it. This pressing action makes the support plate... The rotating column 22 connected to the second support plate 16 moves downward, thereby causing the second locking rod 24 on the rotating column 22 to disengage from the locking block 25, releasing the locking of the rotating column 22 and the components installed on the rotating column 22. When the user adjusts the horizontal direction and releases the second support plate 16, the compressed spring 23 will automatically rebound and reset. This rebound force will push the second support plate 16 and the rotating column 22 upward, so that the second locking rod 24 can re-lock into the locking block 25 corresponding to its current position. In this way, the horizontal orientation of the solar panel 26 is locked at a new angle. The second locking rod 24 corresponds to different locking angles on the locking blocks 25 at different positions.
[0031] Working principle: When the device is used to produce water, the fan 4 is started first. It draws in high-altitude humid air from the air inlet screen 3 and pushes it along the condensate pipe 2 to the heat exchange components. At the same time, the solar panel 26 generates electricity to power the fan 4, the fan 12, and the thermoelectric cooler 10. The thermoelectric cooler 10 is powered and cools the air. The cooling energy is transferred to the airflow in the cold air box 9 through the heat-conducting fins 11. The fan 12 sends the cold air in the cold air box 9 into the hexagonal box 5 through the air inlet pipe 8. After the humid air enters the heat exchange shell 7, it first flows around the outside of the hexagonal box 5. The airflow is forced to flow in a detour by the guide plate 6 between the hexagonal boxes 5, thereby increasing the residence time of the humid air and ensuring that the water vapor fully contacts the low-temperature hexagonal box 5 wall. The cold air inside the hexagonal box 5 is continuously cooled, and a temperature difference is formed with the outside humid air, so that the water vapor quickly condenses into droplets, which slide down along the edge of the hexagonal box 5 and finally flow into the water storage tank 1 for storage.
[0032] Secondly, by pressing the support plate 216 to overcome the spring force of the spring 23 and move it downward, the locking rod 24 is disengaged from the locking block 25. At this time, rotating the rotating column 22 can adjust the horizontal orientation of the solar panel 26. After adjustment, the support plate 216 is released, and the spring 23 returns to its original position. The locking rod 24 engages with the locking block 25 at the corresponding angle to lock the angle. Then, by pulling out the locking rod 121, the locking rod 121 is inserted into different slots on the slot base 17. At the same time, the bracket 219 rotates around the hinge support 18 to adjust the pitch angle of the solar panel 26 to match the change of the solar altitude angle.
[0033] 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.
