Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of atmospheric water production, and more particularly to an atmospheric water production system.

Background Art

[0002] An atmospheric water generator is based on the refrigeration principle of compression, condensation, and evaporation of a refrigerant by a compressor, which causes a liquid refrigerant to undergo a phase change to be gasified in the tubes of an evaporator, absorbs heat, condenses the water vapor in the air into water, and collects the water to serve as the water source of the atmospheric water generator.

[0003] Since components such as a fan and a condenser are incorporated inside an atmospheric water generator, a large amount of noise is generated during operation. In related technologies, for example, in Chinese Utility Model CN 210887419 U, a low-noise operation type atmospheric water generator is proposed, in which sound insulation plates are arranged on both the top and bottom of the water generator body, so that the noise generated during the operation of the water generator body can be sufficiently absorbed. However, this proposal only focuses on the problem of noise reduction, and the internal energy cannot be fully utilized, resulting in a large amount of energy consumption and the need to improve practicality.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] The present invention aims to solve at least to some extent one of the technical problems in the above technology. Therefore, one object of the present invention is to propose an atmospheric water production system that has low noise, can fully and efficiently utilize energy, reduces energy consumption, and improves practicality.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0005] To achieve the above object, an embodiment of the present invention is an atmospheric water production system, including an atmospheric water production device and a control device, The control device controls the operation of the atmospheric water generation system. The atmospheric water generation device includes a water generation evaporator, a condenser, a compressor, a fan, and a noise reduction device. The condenser is connected to the water generation evaporator, and the compressor is connected to the water generation evaporator and the condenser to circulate and cool the refrigerant for supply. The noise reduction device is provided between the fan and the compressor. The fan is provided between the condenser and the compressor, so that external air passes through the water generation evaporator to generate water and cold air. The cold air cools the condenser and then is blown into the noise reduction device to reduce noise. The remaining cold air is further blown onto the heat generating members of the compressor and the control device to lower the temperature and dissipate heat, and an atmospheric water generation system is proposed.

[0006] According to the atmospheric water generation system of the embodiment of the present invention, due to the action of the fan, water is produced from external air in the water generation evaporator, and at the same time, cold air is generated. After the cold air cools the condenser, the noise is reduced by the noise reduction device. The remaining cold air is blown onto the heat generating members (such as the radiator of the control board) of the compressor and the control device to lower the temperature. In this way, the noise generated in the atmospheric water generation system can be reduced by using the noise reduction device, and the cold air is used to lower the temperature of the heat generating members such as the condenser, compressor, and radiator in the atmospheric water generation system. Thereby, the noise can be reduced, and the remaining cooling air can dissipate heat, improving the energy utilization efficiency and the practicality of atmospheric water generation.

[0007] In addition, according to the atmospheric water generation system proposed in the above embodiment of the present invention, it may have the following additional technical features.

[0008] Optionally, the noise reduction device includes a plurality of sound-absorbing cotton sheets arranged to have a three-dimensional mesh structure with a plurality of air ducts provided at the air outlet of the fan and penetrating through its top and bottom. Thereby, the noise reduction device is designed in the form of at least one air duct through which air flows, using sound-absorbing materials, and can obtain an optimal noise reduction effect without adversely affecting the wind force. Further, a plurality of flow guide grooves are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction on the inner wall of the air duct. In this way, an optimal noise reduction effect can be obtained without adversely affecting the wind force, and the influence on the transportation of the remaining cooling air by the noise reduction device can be avoided.

[0009] Optionally, it further includes a water collection device, and the water collection device has a water collection tray, a water filter screen, and a water collection tank. As the water collection tank, a rectangular container is used, and the water outlet of the water collection tank is several centimeters higher than the bottom of the water collection tank. Thereby, several centimeters of water is left at the bottom of the water collection tank to hold sediment. The water collection tank is provided with a water filter screen that is easy to detach. The water collection tray is provided between the water-making evaporator and the water collection tank, collects water from the water-making evaporator, and the water collection tray is funnel-shaped with a water collection tray outlet provided at the bottom. Water flows from the water collection tray outlet to the water filter screen, is filtered, and then flows into the water collection tank. The water filter screen is provided between the water collection tray and the water collection tank, filters the collected water, and the water filter screen is configured to have a structure that can be quickly replaced to facilitate quick replacement.

[0010] Optionally, it further includes a water cooling device, and the water cooling device has a water storage tank, a cold water pump, a direct cooling pipe, a cold water circulation valve, and a cold water outlet valve. As the direct cooling pipe, one having a structure including an inner pipe (instant cooling evaporation pipe) and an outer pipe (water container) connected by a plurality of pipes is adopted, which functions to quickly cool water. The direct cooling pipe is provided between the water storage tank outlet valve, the cold water pump, the cold water outlet valve, and the cold water circulation valve. To save energy consumption, when the discharge of cold water is required, the direct cooling pipe operates, and the water in the water storage tank is driven by the cold water pump, flows through the water storage tank outlet valve into the direct cooling pipe, and the water temperature is rapidly reduced to a desired temperature (for example, 3-4°C) by the direct cooling pipe.

[0011] Due to the action of the cold water pump, the circulation of cold water is realized by the cold water pump, the direct cooling pipe, and the cold water circulation valve. When in the standby state or when cold water is not used externally, the direct cooling pipe performs intermittent operation, thereby saving energy while maintaining the water in the direct cooling pipe at a temperature of 3-4°C.

[0012] The inner pipe of the direct cooling pipe communicates with the condenser and the compressor. In this way, the direct cooling pipe and the water-making evaporator share the same compressor and condenser, and are respectively connected to the direct cooling pipe and the water-making evaporator through two expansion valves (water-making expansion valve, instantaneous cooling expansion valve). According to the needs for water-making and cold water, the water-making expansion valve and the instantaneous cooling expansion valve are automatically adjusted respectively under the control of the control device, thereby fulfilling the functions of condensing water-making and water cooling, greatly reducing the number of components of the entire atmospheric water-making system, reducing the overall cost of the system, making the structure of the atmospheric water-making system more compact, significantly reducing the volume of the equipment, enhancing the practicality, reducing the energy consumption through the cooperation of each unit, and achieving cost reduction.

[0013] In addition, the water storage tank is provided in the storage chamber of the atmospheric water-making system in a pull-out manner, and first quick connectors are provided at the water inlet and outlet of the water storage tank. In this way, it becomes easy to take out the water storage tank for cleaning or quickly install it.

[0014] Optionally, it further includes a water heating device, which includes a hot water inlet valve, a hot water tank, a hot water pump, a direct heater, a flow meter, a hot water outlet valve, and a hot water circulation valve. The direct heater quickly heats water.

[0015] The process of discharging hot water is as follows. Water flows through the hot water inlet valve into the hot water tank, is heated through external circulation, and the temperature of the hot water tank is maintained at a predetermined temperature (for example, 70°C to 80°C). When the user needs hot water, the hot water flows out through the hot water pump, is further heated to a desired temperature (for example, 95 to 100°C) by the direct heater, and then is discharged under the control of the hot water outlet valve.

[0016] The hot water circulation process is as follows. In the standby state or when hot water is not being used, the hot water refluxes to the hot water tank through the direct heater and the hot water circulation valve. In this way, the effect of circulating hot water is obtained. In this case, the direct heater intermittently heats to maintain the temperature of the hot water tank at a relatively low temperature (for example, 70°C to 80°C), saving energy consumption and achieving sterilization.

[0017] Optionally, it further includes a water purification device, which has a combined filter and a sterilizer. The combined filter is provided in a water passage connecting a water collection tank and a water storage tank, and a water passage connecting the water storage tank and a direct cooling pipe, filtering water. The sterilizer is provided in a water passage connecting the water storage tank and the direct cooling pipe, sterilizing and disinfecting water.

[0018] The combined filter is provided with a filter case, and a plurality of types of filter elements are stored in the filter case. The filter case is provided in a storage room of the atmospheric water generation system in a pull-out manner. The water inlet and outlet of the filter element are provided with a second quick connector. In this way, the filter can be easily replaced, maintenance is convenient, and water quality is maintained at a high level.

[0019] The sterilizer is an external ultraviolet and ozone sterilizer, and includes an easily replaceable ultraviolet lamp that is provided so as to be tiltable outward. When replacing the ultraviolet lamp, the sterilizer can be tilted outward, thereby facilitating the replacement of the ultraviolet lamp.

[0020] The sterilizer further includes an ozone injection port. During ozone disinfection, ozone generated by an ozone generator is injected into the sterilizer by an ozone pump and sufficiently dissolved in the flowing water for sterilization and disinfection.

[0021] The water in the water storage tank flows into the sterilizer and is sterilized cyclically by external ultraviolet rays and ozone. By controlling the circulating flow of water, sterilization by ultraviolet irradiation and sterilization by ozone can be sufficiently performed during the flowing process of water.

[0022] Optionally, it further includes a cleaning device, and the cleaning device includes an external cleaning tank, a circulation pump, a drain valve, and a water pumping pump.

[0023] In the cleaning of the water tank, first, the drain valve is opened, and by the action of the water pumping pump, the water in the water tank (water storage tank or hot water tank) is pumped into the external cleaning tank, and by the action of the circulation pump, the cleaning water in the external cleaning tank is injected into the water tank. Thereby, the circulating cleaning of the water tank is performed. The cleaning water in the external cleaning tank may be replaced during cleaning.

[0024] Optionally, it further includes a frame, and the frame defines a storage chamber of the atmospheric water generation system. The storage chamber has a first chamber, a second chamber, and a third chamber. The water generation evaporator, condenser, fan, and the water heating device of the atmospheric water generation device are provided in the first chamber, the compressor, noise reduction device, and the control board of the control device of the atmospheric water generation device are provided in the second chamber, and the water collection device, the water cooling device, and the water purification device are provided in the third chamber. In this way, the structure of the entire atmospheric water generation system becomes compact.

[0025] Additional aspects and advantages of the present invention will be shown in part in the following description, some of which will be apparent from the following description or understood by the practice of the present invention.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0027] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail. An example of the above embodiment is shown in the drawings, and in each drawing, the same or similar reference numerals indicate the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary ones intended to explain the present invention and should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0028] In order to better understand the above technical solution, hereinafter, with reference to the drawings, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail. Although exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention should not be limited to the embodiments described herein and can be implemented in various forms. Rather, these embodiments are provided to enable a more complete understanding of the present invention and to enable the scope of the present invention to be fully conveyed to those skilled in the art.

[0029] Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 1 to 23, the atmospheric water production system according to the present invention will be described in detail.

[0030] First, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the atmospheric water production system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an atmospheric water production device 10 and a control device.

[0031] Specifically, the control device controls the operation of the atmospheric water production system. The atmospheric water production device 10 includes a water production evaporator 101, a condenser 102, a compressor 103, a fan 104, and a noise reduction device 105. The condenser 102 is connected to the water production evaporator 101, and the compressor 103 is connected to the water production evaporator 101 and the condenser 102 to circulate and cool the refrigerant for supply. The noise reduction device 105 is provided between the fan 104 and the compressor 103, and the fan 104 is provided between the condenser 102 and the compressor 103. Thus, external air passes through the water production evaporator 101 to generate water and cold air. The cold air cools the condenser 102 and then is blown into the noise reduction device 105 to reduce noise. Further, the remaining cold air is blown onto the heat generating members of the compressor 103 and the control device to lower the temperature and dissipate heat.

[0032] That is, the water production evaporator 101 generates water and cold air. After the cold air is reduced in noise by the noise reduction device 105, it can lower the temperature of other heat generating members in the atmospheric water production device 10. Thereby, the problems of noise and energy utilization in the atmospheric water production system are solved simultaneously.

[0033] In this way, in the atmospheric water production system, due to the action of the fan 104, water is produced from external air in the water production evaporator 101. At the same time, cold air is generated. After the cold air cools the condenser 102, the noise is reduced by the noise reduction device 105. The remaining cold air is blown onto the compressor 103 and the heat-generating members of the control device (for example, the radiator of the control board) to lower the temperature. In this way, through the design related to the air flow and the noise reduction device 105, the noise generated within the atmospheric water production system can be significantly reduced. Also, by using the cold air to lower the temperature of the heat-generating members such as the compressor 103, condenser 102, and radiator within the atmospheric water production system, the noise can be reduced, and at the same time, the remaining cooling air can dissipate heat, improving the energy utilization efficiency and the practicality of atmospheric water production.

[0034] The above embodiments are the most basic aspects of the present application, which can solve the problems raised in the background art and achieve the purpose of the present application. Hereinafter, by making various improvements to the above basic aspects to further improve the performance, the implementation effect can be made better. <Atmospheric water production device>

[0035] Regarding the atmospheric water production device 10, as shown in FIGS. 4 to 7, the noise reduction device 105 is connected to the air outlet of the fan 104. In this way, all the air from the fan 104 is introduced into the noise reduction device 105, ensuring the noise reduction effect. Here, as the fan 104, an axial flow fan may be used.

[0036] More specifically, the noise reduction device 105 has a plurality of air supply passages 1051 penetrating through its top and bottom, and includes a plurality of sound-absorbing cotton sheets having a three-dimensional mesh structure with a nine-square grid-shaped cross-section. In this way, the noise reduction device 105 forms a three-dimensional mesh structure by the sound-absorbing cotton, and by making the cross-section of the three-dimensional mesh structure in the shape of a nine-square grid, a plurality of air supply passages 1051 are formed, thereby obtaining an optimal noise reduction effect without adversely affecting the wind force.

[0037] In order to further improve the noise reduction effect, a plurality of flow guiding grooves are arranged on the inner wall of the air supply passage 1051 at intervals in the circumferential direction. In this way, an optimal noise reduction effect can be obtained without adversely affecting the wind force, and the influence on the transportation of the remaining cooling air by the noise reduction device 105 can be avoided.

[0038] In order to further ensure the temperature reduction and heat dissipation effects of the cold air on the heat generating member, in the noise reduction device 105, a plurality of substantially V-shaped grooves are provided at positions close to the bottom. In this way, the air transported through the air supply passage 1051 can be quickly diffused, the air resistance can be reduced, and the heat dissipation effect by the remaining cold air can be ensured.

[0039] Furthermore, the atmospheric water production device 10 further includes an air filter screen 106. The air filter screen 106 is provided outside the water production evaporator 101. The air filtered by the air filter screen 106 is introduced into the water production evaporator 101 by the fan 104, where the air is processed to generate water and cold air. Here, the air filter screen 106 can adopt a multi-filtration technology based on the principles of conventional aerodynamics, thereby effectively filtering harmful gases in the air.

[0040] In the atmospheric water production device 10, regarding the operation of the compressor 103 and the condenser 102, the refrigerant in the water production evaporator 101 or directly in the cooling pipe 302 absorbs heat and then changes into a gas. It is compressed by the compressor 103 to become a high-pressure and high-temperature gas, and then is sent to the condenser 102 to be cooled into a refrigerant.

[0041] The refrigerant cooled by the condenser 102 is transported to the water production evaporator 101 through a pipe, and an expansion valve may be provided in the pipe. In this way, the refrigerant continuously exerts a cooling effect in the water production evaporator 101.

[0042] As described above, the heat of the radiator 601 can also be dissipated by the remaining cooling air from the noise reduction device 105. The control board 603 of the control device is the main heat generating member, and it is necessary to timely dissipate the heat conducted through the radiator 601. By providing the control board 603 and the radiator 601 between the noise reduction device 105 and the compressor 103, the radiator 601 can dissipate heat by the air blown out from the noise reduction device 105. The heat dissipation by the remaining cooling air improves the energy utilization efficiency.

[0043] To ensure the electrical control operation of the entire atmospheric water production system, the above control device further includes a control panel 602 used for displaying control information and data parameters and inputting adjustment information. The control board 603 (as the control board 603, a programmable controller in the prior art is used.) controls the operation of the entire atmospheric water production system. <Water collection device>

[0044] As shown in FIGS. 8 to 10, the atmospheric water production system further includes a water collection device 20, and the water collection device 20 includes a water collection tray 201, a water filter screen 202, and a water collection tank 203.

[0045] Specifically, the water collection tank 203 is provided with a water collection tank water inlet 2031 on the top surface, a water collection tank water outlet 2032 and a water collection tank drain outlet 2033 at positions close to the bottom. The water collection tank water outlet 2032 is separated from the water collection tank drain outlet 2033 and is located above the water collection tank drain outlet 2033 so as to be higher than the bottom surface of the water collection tank 203. The water filter screen 202 is detachably provided at the water collection tank water inlet 2031. The water collection tray 201 is provided between the water production evaporator 101 and the water collection tank 203 to collect the water by the water production evaporator 101. At the bottom of the water collection tray 201, a water collection tray water outlet 2011 is provided for the collected water to flow to the water filter screen 202 and into the water collection tank 203.

[0046] That is, the water collection tray 201 collects the water produced by the water-making evaporator 101. The water flows from the water collection tray water outlet 2011 to the water filter screen 202, and after being filtered, it flows into the water collection tank 203. Since the water collection tray 201 is provided separately from the water collection tank 203, and the water filter screen 202 is removably provided at the water collection tank water inlet 2031 on the top surface of the water collection tank 203, the water filter screen 202 can be easily replaced without removing the water collection tank 203, ensuring water quality. By providing the water collection tank water outlet 2032 higher than the water collection tank drain outlet 2033 and the bottom surface of the water collection tank 203, about several centimeters of water remains at the bottom of the water collection tank 203, so that sediment can be retained on the bottom surface of the water collection tank 203. Furthermore, through the cooperation of external cleaning water, a circulation pump, a lift pump, and a drain outlet, in this device, the water collection tank 203 can be cleaned and drained without removing the water collection tank 203, further ensuring water quality.

[0047] Furthermore, there is a gap between the water collection tray 201 and the water collection tank 203, and the water collection tray water outlet 2011 is aligned with the water collection tank water inlet 2031 in the vertical direction. With such a configuration, the positions of the water collection tray 201 and the water collection tank 203 can be reasonably set.

[0048] Here, the water collection tank 203 is long. The water collection tank 203 is provided with a fixing plate for attaching to the inner wall of the storage chamber of the atmospheric water-making system. The water collection tray 201 is provided below the water-making evaporator 101 by a mounting plate. In this way, since the water collection tray 201 is arranged separately from the water collection tank 203, cleaning and replacement are facilitated, and the internal structure of the atmospheric water-making system becomes compact.

[0049] Regarding the removal and replacement of the water filter screen 202, the water filter screen 202 may be in a bowl shape, and a flange that abuts against the edge of the water collection tank water inlet 2031 may be provided at the opening at the top of the water filter screen 202. In this way, with the separate structure of the water collection tank 203 and the water collection tray 201 together with the direct attachment and detachment structure, the replacement of the water filter screen 202 becomes easy and the water quality is ensured.

[0050] Furthermore, in order to install water filter screens 202 of various sizes, a cover is provided at the top of the water collection tank 203.

[0051] Regarding the structure of the water collection tray 201, a partition plate 2012 is provided in the water collection tray 201 so as to be partitioned into a first tray portion 2013 and a second tray portion 2014. The first tray portion 2013 is funnel-shaped, the water collection tray water outlet 2011 is provided at the bottom of the first tray portion 2013, and a through hole for communicating the second tray portion 2014 and the first tray portion 2013 is provided in the partition plate 2012. A groove extending until it communicates with the through hole is provided in the second tray portion 2014. Here, the second tray portion 2014 guides the water collected through the groove and the through hole to the first tray portion 2013, and this water flows from the water collection tray water outlet 2011 into the water collection tank 203.

[0052] More specifically, the first tray portion 2013 is located below the water production evaporator 101, and the second tray portion 2014 is located below the condenser 102. In this way, all the water generated by the water production evaporator 101 is recovered. <Water cooling device>

[0053] As shown in FIGS. 11 to 15, the atmospheric water production system further includes a water cooling device 30. The water cooling device 30 includes a water storage tank 301, a cold water pump, a direct cooling pipe 302, a cold water circulation valve, and a cold water outlet valve. Here, the direct cooling pipe 302 has a structure including an inner pipe (instant cooling evaporation pipe) and an outer pipe (water container) connected by a plurality of pipes, and functions to rapidly cool water.

[0054] Specifically, the inner pipe of the direct cooling pipe 302 communicates with the condenser 102 and the compressor 103, circulates and cools the refrigerant for supply. The outer pipe of the direct cooling pipe 102 communicates with the water storage tank 301, the cold water circulation valve, and the cold water outlet valve. The cold water circulation valve is suitable for circulating cold water and flowing it into the cold water pump.

[0055] That is, the refrigerant used in the inner pipe (instantaneous cooling evaporation pipe) of the direct cooling pipe 302 of the water cooling device 30 is also compressed by the above-mentioned compressor 103 and then transported to the condenser 102 for cooling. After that, it is circulated and sent to the inner pipe of the direct cooling pipe 302. In this way, the water production evaporator 101 and the direct cooling pipe 302 can share the same compressor 103 and condenser 102. In addition, the water cooling device 30 performs instantaneous cooling during use and intermittent operation during standby. In this way, the functions of condensing water production and water cooling are realized by the same compressor 103 and condenser 102, reducing the number of parts in the entire atmospheric water production system, lowering the overall cost of the system, reducing the energy consumption, making the structure of the system more compact, significantly reducing the volume of the equipment, and making it more practical.

[0056] More specifically, when it is necessary to discharge cold water to the outside during the use of the water cooling device 30, the direct cooling pipe 302 operates. By driving the cold water pump, the water in the water storage tank 301 flows into the direct cooling pipe 302, and the direct cooling pipe 302 quickly reduces the water temperature to a desired temperature (for example, 3 - 4°C).

[0057] In addition, the circulation of cold water can be realized by the cold water pump, the direct cooling pipe 302, and the cold water circulation valve. When in the standby state or when cold water is not used externally, the direct cooling pipe 302 performs intermittent operation, whereby the water in the direct cooling pipe 302 can be maintained at a temperature of 3 - 4°C. In this way, the energy consumption is reduced, and the effect of energy saving is achieved.

[0058] The refrigerant cooled by the condenser 102 is transported to the direct cooling pipe 302 through the pipe, and an expansion valve may be provided in the pipe. In this way, the refrigerant continuously performs a cooling action in the direct cooling pipe 302.

[0059] That is, a water production expansion valve and an instantaneous cooling expansion valve are provided in the discharge pipe of the condenser 102. The water production expansion valve is connected to the condenser 102 and the water production evaporator 101, and the instantaneous cooling expansion valve is connected to the direct cooling pipe 302 and the condenser 102 directly. Thereby, all the refrigerant used in the water production evaporator 101 and the direct cooling pipe 302 is compressed by the compressor 103 and then transported to the condenser 102. After cooling, it circulates and is sent to the water production expansion valve and the instantaneous cooling expansion valve. According to the desired water production amount and the desired chilled water temperature, the water production expansion valve and the instantaneous cooling expansion valve are automatically adjusted respectively, and then the refrigerant further passes through the evaporation coolers provided in the water production evaporator 101 and the direct cooling pipe 302. Thereby, the water production amount and the chilled water temperature can be easily and automatically controlled.

[0060] Also, in the water cooling device 30, the water storage tank 301 is provided in the storage chamber of the atmospheric water production system so as to be pull - outable. First quick connectors are provided at the water inlet and the water outlet of the water storage tank 301. In this way, it becomes easy to take out the water storage tank 301 for cleaning or to quickly install it.

[0061] Specifically, the water cooling device 30 further includes a base 303 and a second pull - out type tray 304. The base 303 is fixed in the storage chamber of the atmospheric water production system. The base 303 defines a first concave groove 3031 with one end open. The second pull - out type tray 304 is slidably connected to the first concave groove 3031. The second pull - out type tray 304 defines a second concave groove 3041, and the water storage tank 301 is installed in the second concave groove 3041. First quick connectors 3011 are provided at both the water inlet and the water outlet of the water storage tank 301.

[0062] That is, since scale is likely to adhere to the water storage tank 301 due to long-term use, when it is necessary to clean the water storage tank 301, the second pull-out type tray 304 is pulled out from the first concave groove 3031, and the water storage tank 301 in the second concave groove 3041 is separated from the storage chamber of the atmospheric water generation system. Next, the water storage tank 301 is taken out from the second concave groove 3041. At the same time, the first quick connector 3011 of the water storage tank 301 is disconnected from the quick connector of the hose to be joined, thereby facilitating manual cleaning and replacement of the water storage tank 301. After the cleaning of the water storage tank 301 is completed, the water storage tank 301 is returned to the second concave groove 3041, the second pull-out type tray 304 is pushed back into the first concave groove 3031, and the water storage tank 301 is returned to the interior of the atmospheric water generation system. Further, the first quick connector 3011 of the water storage tank 301 is joined to the quick connector of the hose to be joined, thereby restoring the normal use state.

[0063] In this way, since the water storage tank 301 is pulled out from the storage chamber of the atmospheric water generation system by the pull-out type tray, and the first quick connector 3011 of the water storage tank 301 is quickly separated from the fitting hose, the water storage tank 301 can be easily cleaned. Also, after the cleaning is completed, the water storage tank 301 is pushed back into the interior of the atmospheric water generation system by the pull-out type tray, and the first quick connector 3011 of the water storage tank 301 is quickly joined to the fitting hose. As a result, the cleaning, replacement, and maintenance of the water tank are facilitated, and the water quality is ensured to be high.

[0064] Regarding the sliding of the second pull-out type tray 304, a slider is provided on the second pull-out type tray 304, and a slide rail is provided in the first concave groove 3031. The slider is slidably connected to the slide rail. In this way, it is easy to pull out and push back the water storage tank 301 with respect to the storage chamber of the atmospheric water generation system, which is advantageous for cleaning the water storage tank 301 and its quick recovery after cleaning. <Water heating device>

[0065] As shown in FIGS. 16 to 18, the atmospheric water production system further includes a water heating device 40, and the water heating device 40 has a hot water tank 401, a direct heater 402, a hot water outlet valve, and a hot water circulation valve. The direct heater 402 enables rapid heating of water.

[0066] Specifically, the hot water tank 401 communicates with the water storage tank 301, the direct heater 402 communicates with the hot water tank 401, the hot water circulation valve, and the hot water outlet valve, and the hot water circulation valve is suitable for circulating hot water and flowing it into the hot water tank 401.

[0067] That is, a hot water pump is provided in the water passage connecting the hot water tank 401 and the direct heater 402. Also, the hot water tank 401 communicates with the cold water circulation valve via a hot water inlet valve and further communicates with the water storage tank 301. When discharging hot water, the water in the water storage tank 301 flows through the hot water inlet valve into the hot water tank 401 and is heated through external circulation (heated by the direct heater 402), thereby maintaining the temperature of the hot water tank 401 at a predetermined temperature (for example, 70°C to 80°C). When the user needs hot water, the hot water flows out through the hot water pump and is further heated to a desired temperature (for example, 95 to 100°C) by the direct heater 402 and then discharged from the hot water discharge end. The circulation process of the hot water is as follows. In the standby state or when hot water is not used externally, the hot water returns to the hot water tank 401 through the direct heater 402 and the hot water circulation valve. In this way, the effect of circulating the hot water is obtained. In this case, the direct heater 402 intermittently heats to maintain the temperature of the hot water tank 401 at a relatively low temperature (for example, 70°C to 80°C), saving energy consumption and achieving sterilization.

[0068] In the hot water tank 401, a hot water tank drain port 4011 is provided, and a drain valve is connected to the hot water tank drain port 4011. This enables cleaning of the hot water tank 401. <Water purification device>

[0069] As shown in FIGS. 19 to 22, the atmospheric water production system further includes a water purification device 50, and the water purification device 50 has a combined filter 501 and a sterilizer 502. The combined filter 501 is provided in a water passage connecting the water collection tank 203 and the water storage tank 301, and a water passage connecting the water storage tank 301 and the direct cooling pipe 302, and filters water. The sterilizer 502 is provided in a water passage connecting the water storage tank 301 and the direct cooling pipe 302, and sterilizes and disinfects water.

[0070] That is, the water in the water collection tank 203 is filtered by the combined filter 501 and flows into the water storage tank 301. After passing through the water storage tank 301, it is sterilized and disinfected cyclically by an external sterilizer 502.

[0071] Specifically, the combined filter 501 includes a filter case 5011, a first pull-out tray 5012, and a second quick connector 5013. A plurality of types of filter elements 5014 are stored in the filter case 5011. The filter case 5011 is arranged in the first pull-out tray 5012. The first pull-out tray 5012 is slidably connected to the storage chamber of the atmospheric water production system. The second quick connector 5013 is connected to the water inlet and outlet of the filter element 5014. Thereby, the filter case 5011 can be pulled out from the room of the atmospheric water production system by the pull-out tray, and the filter element 5014 can be easily replaced by quickly detaching it from the hose fitting the quick connector of the hose of the filter element 5014. After replacement, the filter case 5011 is pushed back into the room of the atmospheric water production system by the pull-out tray, and further quickly joined to the hose fitting the quick connector of the hose of the filter element 5014. Thereby, the cleaning and replacement of the filter element are facilitated, maintenance is made convenient, and the water quality is ensured to be high.

[0072] Here, one second quick connector 5013 includes one water inlet and one water outlet, but a plurality of second quick connectors 5013 may be provided as needed. One second quick connector 5013 corresponds to one or more dedicated filter elements 5014.

[0073] Regarding the specific slidable connection structure between the first pull-out tray 5012 and the storage chamber of the atmospheric water generation system, a slide rail is provided in the storage chamber, and a slider is provided on the first pull-out tray 5012. The slider is slidably connected to the slide rail, whereby the first pull-out tray 5012 can slide in the storage chamber by being pulled out.

[0074] The combined filter 501 can perform initial filtration by at least one filter element 5014 in the water passage between the water collection tank 203 and the water storage tank 301, and perform finish filtration by at least one filter element 5014 in the water passage between the water storage tank 301 and the direct cooling pipe 302.

[0075] The sterilizer 502 is an external ultraviolet and ozone sterilizer, includes an easily replaceable ultraviolet lamp, and this ultraviolet lamp is provided so that it can be tilted outward. When replacing the ultraviolet lamp, the sterilizer 502 can be tilted outward, thereby facilitating the replacement of the ultraviolet lamp. The sterilizer 502 further includes an ozone injection port. During ozone disinfection, ozone generated by an ozone generator is injected into the sterilizer 502 by an ozone pump and sufficiently dissolved in the flowing water for sterilization and disinfection.

[0076] Note that the water in the water storage tank 301 flows into the sterilizer 502 and is sterilized cyclically by external ultraviolet rays and ozone, whereby sterilization by ultraviolet irradiation and sterilization by ozone can be sufficiently performed during the water flow process.

[0077] Specifically, the sterilizer 502 includes a container housing 5021, an ultraviolet lamp 5022, and an ozone generator. The water inlet of the container housing 5021 is connected to the water storage tank 301, the water outlet of the container housing 5021 is connected to the combined filter 501, the ultraviolet lamp 5022 is inserted into the container housing 5021 to sterilize the water in the container housing 5021, and the ozone generator communicates with the container housing 5021 to inject ozone into the container housing 5021 to disinfect the water.

[0078] That is, the sterilizer 502 is provided in the water passage that connects the water storage tank 301 and the combined filter 501, enabling sufficient sterilization by ultraviolet irradiation during the water flow process by utilizing external ultraviolet sterilization circulation. On the other hand, for ozone disinfection, ozone generated by the ozone generator is injected into the container housing 5021 with an ultraviolet sterilization function and sufficiently dissolved in the flowing water for sterilization and disinfection.

[0079] Furthermore, the container housing 5021 is attached to the storage chamber of the atmospheric water generation system by a hinge 5023 so that the container housing 5021 can swing and switch between an upright state and an inclined state. Note that by manually moving the container housing 5021, the container housing 5021 can be swung to switch between an upright state and an inclined state. In the inclined state, it becomes easier for the user to replace or clean the ultraviolet lamp 5022.

[0080] Here, the ultraviolet lamp 5022 may be inserted and attached into the container housing 5021 from the top of the container housing 5021. The water inlet of the container housing 5021 is provided at a position close to the bottom of the container housing 5021, and the water outlet of the container housing 5021 is provided at a position close to the top of the container housing 5021. In this way, sufficient sterilization and disinfection can be performed on the water flowing in the container housing 5021.

[0081] As described above, during water purification, the water in the water storage tank 301 is pumped into the container housing 5021 by the cold water pump for sterilization and disinfection, then pumped into the combined filter 501 for filtration, and then pumped directly into the direct cooling pipe 302. Alternatively, after the water in the water storage tank 301 is pumped into the container housing 5021 by the cold water pump for sterilization and disinfection, it is pumped into the cold water circulation valve and then sent back to the water storage tank 301. In this way, the circulation of the water in the water storage tank 301 is realized and the water quality is ensured. <Cleaning device>

[0082] As shown in FIG. 23, the atmospheric water generation system further includes a cleaning device, which includes an external cleaning tank, a circulation pump, and a pumping pump. The cleaning device cleans the water collection tank 203 and the hot water tank 401.

[0083] In the cleaning of the water tank, first, the drain valve is opened, and by the action of the pumping pump, the water in the water tank (water storage tank or hot water tank) is pumped into the external cleaning tank, and by the action of the circulation pump, the cleaning water in the external cleaning tank is injected into the water tank. Thereby, the circulating cleaning of the water tank is performed. The cleaning water in the external cleaning tank may be exchanged during cleaning. In this way, the water quality is ensured.

[0084] In a specific embodiment, regarding the specific structure of the atmospheric water generation system, it may further include a frame 70. The frame 70 defines a storage room, and the storage room has a first room, a second room, and a third room.

In the third room, the water collection device 20, water cooling device 30, water purification device 50, and various pumps are arranged. Thereby, the structure of the entire atmospheric water generation system becomes compact.

[0085] In addition, an automatic sensing water dispenser is further provided on the frame 70 of the atmospheric water production system. The automatic sensing water dispenser is connected to the hot water outlet valve and the cold water discharge valve, whereby the user can take water from the automatic sensing water dispenser. The discharge of hot water is controlled by the hot water outlet valve, and the discharge of cold water is controlled by the cold water discharge valve. A flow meter may be provided in either the water passage for discharging cold water or the water passage for discharging hot water to control the water discharge amount in combination with the control device.
