Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air-to-water collection equipment, specifically to a biomimetic condensation water collection device. Background Technology

[0002] The technique by which beetles capture water molecules in the desert relies primarily on the physical phenomenon of liquefaction. As desert nights bring lower temperatures, the beetles' body temperature also drops, making them colder than the surrounding air. At this point, water vapor in the air condenses on the beetle's surface upon contact with its shell, forming small water droplets. This method of water acquisition is not only dependent on liquefaction but is also closely related to the beetle's body structure and survival strategies. Its back has hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions. The hydrophilic region absorbs and traps water, while the hydrophobic region allows the condensed water droplets to pass through, preventing them from flowing away and ensuring they can smoothly enter its mouth.

[0003] With people increasingly active in desert and marine areas, the problem of freshwater shortage needs to be addressed in these harsh environments. Existing air-to-water devices suffer from high power consumption, waste emissions that are not environmentally friendly, large size that is inconvenient to carry, and low water collection efficiency.

[0004] In existing technologies, such as the solar semiconductor cooling condensation air water collector disclosed in CN2567274Y, water is collected by condensing air. When the air temperature drops below its corresponding dew point temperature, the water vapor in the air condenses into small liquid water droplets. The cooler air exiting the condensation chamber and the air entering the water collector are fully heat-exchanged, thus pre-cooling the air before it enters the cold plate and recovering the cold energy. However, the heat generated by the hot end of the thermoelectric chip is not effectively and timely discharged, resulting in low cooling efficiency of the thermoelectric chip and low water collection rate per unit energy of the water collector.

[0005] Another air water collector with publication number CN106368267A uses the inner thermoelectric chip on the inner cylinder and the outer thermoelectric chip on the outer cylinder to condense water vapor in the air and collect water. The heat dissipation and flow guiding component makes the air fully contact the condensation surface, and the air exhaust pipe is used to recover waste heat and improve condensation efficiency.

[0006] However, the existing technologies mentioned above have the problem of low water collection efficiency due to the small contact area between the water collector and the air, resulting in condensation within the same volume. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a biomimetic condensation water collection device, which solves the problems of low collection efficiency and large size of existing air water collectors due to their small contact area with air.

[0008] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A biomimetic condensation water extraction device includes a condenser tube and a water extraction unit. The water extraction unit is in contact with air. A portion of the condenser tube passes through the water extraction unit. The water extraction unit includes several spaced-apart condenser mesh plates. Each of the condenser mesh plates has multiple biomimetic protrusions and multiple mesh holes. The biomimetic protrusions and mesh holes are staggered, and the distance between two adjacent condenser mesh plates is greater than the height of the biomimetic protrusions. The condenser tube passes through the condenser mesh plates to facilitate heat transfer between the condenser tube and the condenser mesh plates. Condensate is generated by the contact between the condenser mesh plates and the air. The biomimetic protrusions and mesh holes increase the contact area with air and the airflow, thereby improving water extraction efficiency. The spaced-apart condenser mesh plates reduce the overall volume, making the water extraction device easy to carry.

[0009] Furthermore, the condenser plate is provided with a plurality of through holes, and a plurality of condenser tubes are respectively inserted through the plurality of through holes. The biomimetic protrusions and the through holes are staggered. The condenser tubes are inserted through the through holes so that the condenser plate is fixed on the condenser tubes. The outer wall of the condenser tubes abuts against the inner wall of the through holes so that heat can be transferred between the condenser tubes and the condenser plate. The condenser tubes fix the plurality of condenser plates, which plays a role in reducing the temperature of the condenser plate, improving the condensate efficiency and reducing the overall weight.

[0010] Furthermore, the condenser tube is arranged in a spiral shape, and both ends of the condenser tube extend from one side of the water intake unit to improve the efficiency of heat transfer.

[0011] Preferably, the condenser tube includes multiple straight pipe sections and bends connected in sequence. The multiple straight pipe sections are parallel to each other, and each adjacent straight pipe section is connected to each other through the bends. The condenser tube forms a multi-layer structure, and the number of layers of the condenser tube can be manufactured according to the water intake requirements.

[0012] Furthermore, multiple biomimetic protrusions are evenly distributed on the condenser mesh plate, and the biomimetic protrusions and the condenser mesh plate are integrally formed to ensure that condensate is generated evenly and flows smoothly downward.

[0013] Furthermore, several of the aforementioned condensation mesh plates are arranged at equal intervals along the centerline direction of the condensation mesh plate to improve space utilization.

[0014] Furthermore, the cross-sections of several of the condensation mesh plates are arranged in an arc shape, and the side with the larger curvature of several of the condensation mesh plates faces downward, so that the condensate flows downward quickly, preventing evaporation and improving water delivery efficiency.

[0015] Furthermore, it also includes a water storage tank, with a groove structure formed between each of the two adjacent biomimetic protrusions for storing and guiding condensate. The water storage tank is located below the groove structure for collecting condensate.

[0016] Preferably, the device also includes a refrigerator, with the end of the condenser tube connected to the refrigerator to increase the temperature difference between the condenser plate and the air, thereby improving condensation efficiency.

[0017] Preferably, the condenser is made of copper or a copper alloy, and the diameter of the condenser is greater than 5 mm, resulting in high thermal conductivity.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: (1) The biomimetic condensation water collection device uses condenser tubes to cool down several condenser mesh plates. Several condenser mesh plates come into contact with the air to collect moisture from the air and achieve condensation water collection. The condenser mesh plates are provided with multiple staggered protrusions and mesh holes. The protrusions can increase the contact area with the air, and the mesh holes can increase the flow rate of air through the condenser mesh plates, thereby improving the water collection efficiency. The several condenser mesh plates are set at intervals, which can reduce the overall volume of the water collection device and make it easy to carry.

[0019] (2) The biomimetic condensation water collection device consists of a spiral condensation tube connected to several condensation mesh plates, which reduces the overall weight. The number of condensation tube layers can be arranged according to the water collection volume, making it convenient for use in different scenarios. In addition, the condensation tube can be connected to an external cooler to increase the temperature difference during water collection, thereby accelerating the water collection efficiency. The selection can be made according to the usage conditions. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0023] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a biomimetic condensation water extraction device includes a condenser pipe 1 and a water extraction unit 2. The water extraction unit 2 is in contact with air. A portion of the condenser pipe 1 passes through the water extraction unit 2. The water extraction unit 2 includes several spaced-apart condenser mesh plates 21. Each of the several condenser mesh plates 21 is provided with multiple biomimetic protrusions 22 and multiple mesh holes 23. The multiple biomimetic protrusions 22 and multiple mesh holes 23 are staggered, and the distance between two adjacent condenser mesh plates 21 is greater than the height of the biomimetic protrusions 22. The condenser pipe 1 passes through the several condenser mesh plates 21 to enable heat transfer between the condenser pipe 1 and the condenser mesh plates 21. This can improve water extraction efficiency and reduce the overall size of the water extraction device, making it convenient for carrying and use when going out.

[0024] The condensation and water collection process is as follows: The condenser tube 1 is connected to a low-temperature object. The condenser tube 1 is used to cool several condenser plates 21. Several condenser plates 21 come into contact with the air. There is a temperature difference between the condenser plates 21 and the air. The condenser plates 21 with lower temperatures come into contact with the air with higher temperatures, causing the moisture in the air to condense into water droplets and adhere to the condenser plates 21. The condensed water on the condenser plates 21 is collected to achieve air water collection. Multiple biomimetic protrusions 22 are set on the condenser plates 21 to increase the contact area with the air, achieving a rapid water collection effect, effectively improving the water collection efficiency, and also reducing the volume of the entire water collection device.

[0025] Furthermore, the condenser plate 21 is provided with several through holes 3, and several condenser tubes 1 are respectively inserted through several through holes 3. The biomimetic protrusions 22 and the through holes 3 are staggered. The condenser tubes 1 are inserted through the through holes 3 so that the condenser plate 21 is fixed on the condenser tubes 1. The outer wall of the condenser tube 1 abuts against the inner wall of the through hole 3 so that heat can be transferred between the condenser tube 1 and the condenser plate 21. The condenser tubes 1 are used to fix several condenser plates 21 and transfer heat, which reduces the overall weight and makes it easy to carry.

[0026] Furthermore, the condenser tube 1 is arranged in a spiral shape, and both ends of the condenser tube 1 extend from one side of the water intake unit 2; this allows the cooling energy of the condenser tube 1 to be transferred evenly and quickly to the condenser mesh plate 21, thereby achieving rapid water intake.

[0027] Preferably, the condenser pipe 1 includes multiple straight pipe sections 11 and bent pipe sections 12 connected in sequence. The multiple straight pipe sections 11 are parallel to each other, and adjacent straight pipe sections 11 in each layer are connected by bent pipe sections 12. The condenser pipe 1 forms a multi-layer structure, which can form a stable pipeline passage and pass through the through holes 3 on the condenser mesh plate 21 to achieve uniform and stable heat transfer.

[0028] Furthermore, each layer of condenser tube 1 is rectangular spiral in shape, which has better heat exchange efficiency and can quickly cool down the condenser plate 21. The area of ​​the condenser plate 21 can be adjusted according to the usage requirements.

[0029] Furthermore, multiple biomimetic protrusions 22 are evenly distributed on the condenser mesh plate 21, and the biomimetic protrusions 22 and the condenser mesh plate 21 are integrally formed, which can effectively increase the contact area between the two sides of the condenser mesh plate 21 and the air, and has sufficient strength for field use and is not easily damaged. By simulating the structural characteristics of beetles, the effect of quickly taking water from the air is achieved.

[0030] Furthermore, several condensation mesh plates 21 are arranged at equal intervals along the center line of the condensation mesh plate 21. Sufficient arrangement density can maximize the condensation of moisture in the air, reduce the size of the device, and make it easy to carry.

[0031] Preferably, the cross-section of the plurality of condensing mesh plates 21 is set in an arc shape, and the side with the larger curvature of the plurality of condensing mesh plates 21 faces downward, so that the condensed water can flow downward quickly, prevent evaporation, and improve the efficiency of water collection.

[0032] Furthermore, it also includes a water storage tank 5. Between two adjacent bionic protrusions 22, a groove structure 4 is formed for storing and guiding condensate. The water storage tank 5 is located below the groove structure 4. Moisture in the air condenses into water on several condensation mesh plates 21. When the water accumulates to a certain level, it will condense into water droplets and drip into the water storage tank 5 through the groove structure 4 for collection, thereby improving collection efficiency.

[0033] Preferably, it also includes a cooler 6, with the end of the condenser tube 1 connected to the cooler 6. The cooler 6 is driven by an external energy source to cool the condenser plate 21. By increasing the temperature difference with the air, the water extraction efficiency is improved, which can speed up water extraction and is suitable for rapid water extraction under conditions where energy is available.

[0034] Preferably, the condenser tube 1 is made of copper or copper alloy, and the diameter of the condenser tube 1 is greater than 5mm. The condenser mesh plate 21 is an aluminum filter screen with good thermal conductivity, which enables the cold energy of the condenser tube 1 to be quickly transferred to the condenser mesh plate 21, thereby reducing energy consumption and improving water intake efficiency.

Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed and described above, and any modifications and changes to this utility model should also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
