Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of atmospheric water production, in particular to an atmospheric water production system. [Background technology]

[0002] The atmospheric water generator is based on the refrigeration principle of compressing the refrigerant by the compressor, condensing, and evaporating it, and changes the phase of the liquid refrigerant to gasify it in the evaporator tube, absorbs heat, condenses the water vapor in the air into water, and collects the water to use as the water source for the atmospheric water generator.

[0003] Atmospheric water generators generate a lot of noise during operation because they incorporate components such as fans and condensers. In related technology, for example, Chinese utility model CN ​​210887419 U proposes a low-noise atmospheric water generator that can fully absorb the noise generated by the operation of the water generator body by arranging soundproofing panels on both the top and bottom of the water generator body. However, this proposal focuses only on the issue of reducing noise, and does not fully utilize the internal energy, resulting in high energy consumption and a need to improve practicality. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems in the above-mentioned technology to some extent. Therefore, one object of the present invention is to propose an atmospheric water production system with low noise, sufficient and efficient energy utilization, reduced energy consumption, and improved practicality. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, an embodiment of the present invention comprises: An atmospheric water production system, comprising: An atmospheric water generator and a control device, The control device controls the operation of the atmospheric water production system, The atmospheric freshwater generating device includes a freshwater generating evaporator, a condenser, a compressor, a fan, and a noise reduction device, and the condenser is connected to the freshwater generating evaporator and the compressor, thereby circulating, cooling, and supplying a refrigerant, and the noise reduction device is provided between the fan and the compressor, and the fan is provided between the condenser and the compressor, so that air from outside passes through the freshwater generating evaporator to generate water and cold air, the cold air cools the condenser and is then blown into the noise reduction device to reduce noise, and the remaining cold air is further blown against heat-generating components of the compressor and the control device to lower the temperature and dissipate heat.

[0006] According to the atmospheric water production system of the embodiment of the present invention, water is produced from the outside air in the freshwater production evaporator by the action of the fan, 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, and the remaining cold air is blown onto the heat-generating components of the compressor and control device (e.g., the radiator of the control board) to lower the temperature. In this way, the noise generated in the atmospheric water production system can be reduced by using the noise reduction device, and the cold air is used to lower the temperature of the heat-generating components such as the condenser, compressor, and radiator in the atmospheric water production system, thereby reducing noise and dissipating heat with the remaining cooling air, thereby increasing the efficiency of energy use and improving the practicality of the atmospheric water production.

[0007] In addition, the atmospheric water production system proposed in the above embodiments of the present invention may have the following additional technical features.

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

[0009] Optionally, further comprising a water collecting device, the water collecting device having a water collecting tray, a water filter screen, and a water collecting tank; The water collection tank is a rectangular container, and the water collection tank outlet is several centimeters higher than the bottom of the water collection tank, so that several centimeters of water remain at the bottom of the water collection tank to hold sediment. The water collection tank is provided with a water filter net that is easily attached and detached; The water collecting tray is disposed between the water generating evaporator and the water collecting tank, and collects the water generated by the water generating evaporator. The water collecting tray is funnel-shaped and has a water collecting tray outlet at its bottom. The water flows from the water collecting tray outlet into the water filtering net, and after being filtered, flows into the water collecting tank. The water filter net is disposed between the water collection tray and the water collection tank to filter the collected water, and the water filter net is configured as a quick-replaceable structure to facilitate quick replacement.

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. When it is necessary to discharge cold water to save energy consumption, the direct cooling pipe is operated, and the water in the water storage tank is driven by the cold water pump and flows through the water storage tank outlet valve to the direct cooling pipe, and the direct cooling pipe quickly lowers the water temperature to a desired temperature (e.g., 3 to 4°C).

[0011] Under 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 standby mode or when cold water is not used externally, the direct cooling pipe operates intermittently, thereby saving energy while keeping the water in the direct cooling pipe at a temperature of 3-4°C.

[0012] The inner pipe of the direct cooling pipe is connected to the condenser and the compressor, and thus the direct cooling pipe and the freshwater evaporator share the same compressor and condenser, and are connected to the direct cooling pipe and the freshwater evaporator through two expansion valves (freshwater expansion valve, instantaneous cooling expansion valve). According to the needs for freshwater and cold water, the freshwater expansion valve and the instantaneous cooling expansion valve are automatically adjusted under the control of a control device, respectively, thereby fulfilling the functions of condensed freshwater production and water cooling, greatly reducing the number of parts in the entire atmospheric freshwater production system and lowering the cost of the entire system, and also making the structure of the atmospheric freshwater production system compact, greatly reducing the volume of the equipment, improving practicality, and by cooperation of each unit, reducing energy consumption and cost.

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

[0016] The hot water circulation process is as follows: In a standby state or when hot water is not used, hot water passes through the direct heater and the hot water circulation valve and flows back to the hot water tank, thus achieving the effect of circulating hot water. In this case, the direct heater heats intermittently to keep the temperature of the hot water tank at a relatively low temperature (e.g., 70°C to 80°C), thereby saving energy consumption and achieving sterilization.

[0017] Optionally, the system further includes a water purification device, the water purification device having a combination filter and a sterilizer, the combination filter being provided in a water passage connecting the water collection tank and the water storage tank and a water passage connecting the water storage tank and the direct cooling pipe to filter the water, and the sterilizer being provided in the water passage connecting the water storage tank and the direct cooling pipe to sterilize and disinfect the water.

[0019] The sterilizer is an external ultraviolet-ozone sterilizer, and includes an ultraviolet lamp that can be tilted outward for easy replacement. When replacing the ultraviolet lamp, the sterilizer can be tilted outward, which makes it easy to replace the ultraviolet lamp.

[0020] The sterilizer further includes an ozone inlet, and during ozone sterilization, ozone from an ozone generator is injected into the sterilizer by an ozone pump and sufficiently dissolved in flowing water for sterilization.

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

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

[0027] Hereinafter, the embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail. An example of the embodiment is shown in the drawings, and the same or similar reference numerals in each drawing indicate the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are illustrative and 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, the exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the drawings. Although the drawings show exemplary embodiments of the present invention, it should be understood that the present invention should not be limited to the embodiments described herein, but can be implemented in various forms. Rather, these embodiments are provided to enable a more complete understanding of the present invention and to fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art.

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

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

[0031] Specifically, the control device controls the operation of the atmospheric freshwater generating system. The atmospheric freshwater generating device 10 includes a freshwater generating evaporator 101, a condenser 102, a compressor 103, a fan 104, and a noise reduction device 105. The condenser 102 is connected to the freshwater generating evaporator 101, and the compressor 103 is connected to the freshwater generating evaporator 101 and the condenser 102, so that the refrigerant is circulated, cooled, and supplied. 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, so that air from the outside passes through the freshwater generating evaporator 101 to generate water and cold air. After cooling the condenser 102, the cold air is blown into the noise reduction device 105 to reduce noise, and the remaining cold air is blown onto the compressor 103 and heat-generating members of the control device to lower the temperature and dissipate heat.

[0032] In other words, the freshwater evaporator 101 generates water and cool air at the same time, and after the noise of the cool air is reduced by the noise reduction device 105, it can lower the temperature of other heat-generating components in the atmospheric freshwater generator 10, thereby simultaneously solving the noise issues and energy utilization issues of the atmospheric freshwater generator system.

[0033] In this way, in the atmospheric water production system, water is produced from the outside air in the freshwater production evaporator 101 by the action of the fan 104, and 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, and the remaining cold air is blown onto the compressor 103 and heat-generating components of the control device (e.g., the radiator of the control board) to lower the temperature. In this way, the noise generated in the atmospheric water production system can be significantly reduced by the design of the air flow and the noise reduction device 105. Furthermore, by using the cold air to lower the temperature of heat-generating components such as the compressor 103, the condenser 102, and the radiator in the atmospheric water production system, noise can be reduced and heat can be dissipated by the remaining cooling air, which increases the efficiency of energy use and improves the practicality of the atmospheric water production.

[0034] The above embodiment is the most basic aspect of the present application, which can solve the problems raised in the background art and achieve the objectives of the present application. In the following, various improvements will be made to the above basic aspect to further improve performance and make the implementation effect better. <Atmospheric water generator>

[0035] As for the atmospheric water generator 10, as shown in Fig. 4 to Fig. 7, the noise reduction device 105 is connected to the outlet of the fan 104. In this manner, all wind from the fan 104 is introduced into the noise reduction device 105, ensuring the noise reduction effect. Here, an axial flow fan may be used as the fan 104.

[0036] More specifically, the noise reduction device 105 has a plurality of air passages 1051 penetrating the top and bottom thereof, and includes a plurality of sound-absorbing cotton sheets having a three-dimensional mesh structure with a nine-palace cross section. In this way, the noise reduction device 105 has a three-dimensional mesh structure formed by the sound-absorbing cotton sheets, and the cross section of the three-dimensional mesh structure is nine-palace cross section to form a plurality of air passages 1051, thereby achieving an optimal noise reduction effect without adversely affecting the wind force.

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

[0038] To further ensure the temperature-lowering and heat-dissipating effect of the cool air on the heat-generating components, a plurality of substantially V-shaped grooves are provided near the bottom of the noise reduction device 105. In this way, the air transported through the air passage 1051 can be quickly diffused, reducing air resistance and ensuring the heat dissipation effect of the remaining cool air.

[0039] Furthermore, the atmospheric freshwater generator 10 further includes an air filter 106, which is installed outside the freshwater evaporator 101. The air filtered by the air filter 106 is introduced into the freshwater evaporator 101 by the fan 104, where the air is treated to generate water and cool air. Here, the air filter 106 can adopt a multi-filtration technology based on the principle of conventional aerodynamics, thereby effectively filtering out harmful gases in the air.

[0040] In the atmospheric freshwater generator 10, in the operation of the compressor 103 and the condenser 102, the refrigerant in the freshwater generator evaporator 101 or the direct cooling pipe 302 absorbs heat and turns into gas, is compressed by the compressor 103 to become a high-pressure, high-temperature gas, and is further sent to the condenser 102 where it is cooled and turns into a refrigerant.

[0041] The refrigerant cooled in the condenser 102 is transported to the freshwater evaporator 101 through a pipe, and an expansion valve may be provided in the pipe. In this manner, the refrigerant continuously performs a cooling function in the freshwater evaporator 101.

[0042] As described above, the heat of the radiator 601 can be dissipated by the remaining cooling air from the noise reduction device 105. The control board 603 of the control device is a main heat generating component, and it is necessary to dissipate the heat conducted through the radiator 601 in a timely manner. 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. Dissipating heat by the remaining cooling air increases the efficiency of energy utilization.

[0043] In order 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, and a control board 603 (a programmable controller in the prior art is used as the control board 603) controls the operation of the entire atmospheric water production system. <Water collection device>

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

[0045] Specifically, the water collection tank 203 has a water collection tank water supply port 2031 provided on the top surface, and a water collection tank water outlet 2032 and a water collection tank drain 2033 provided at a position close to the bottom, the water collection tank water outlet 2032 being spaced apart from the water collection tank drain 2033 and located above the water collection tank drain 2033 so as to be higher than the bottom surface of the water collection tank 203. The water filter net 202 is detachably provided on the water collection tank water supply port 2031. The water collection tray 201 is provided between the freshwater generating evaporator 101 and the water collection tank 203 to collect water from the freshwater generating evaporator 101, and a water collection tray water outlet 2011 is provided at the bottom of the water collection tray 201 for allowing the collected water to flow into the water filter net 202 and enter the water collection tank 203.

[0046] That is, the water collecting tray 201 collects water from the freshwater evaporator 101, and the water flows from the water collecting tray water outlet 2011 to the water filtration mesh 202, where it is filtered and then flows into the water collecting tank 203. The water collecting tray 201 is provided separately from the water collecting tank 203, and the water filtration mesh 202 is removably provided at the water collecting tank water supply port 2031 on the top surface of the water collecting tank 203, so that the water filtration mesh 202 can be easily replaced without removing the water collecting tank 203, and water quality can be ensured. By positioning the water collection tank outlet 2032 higher than the water collection tank drain outlet 2033 and the bottom of the water collection tank 203, several centimetres of water are left at the bottom of the water collection tank 203, which makes it possible to retain sediment on the bottom of the water collection tank 203. Furthermore, with the cooperation of the external cleaning water, circulation pump, lifting pump and drain outlet, the device can clean and drain the water collection tank 203 without removing the water collection tank 203, further ensuring water quality.

[0047] Furthermore, there is a gap between the water collecting tray 201 and the water collecting tank 203, and the water collecting tray water outlet 2011 is vertically aligned with the water collecting tank water supply port 2031. With this configuration, the positions of the water collecting tray 201 and the water collecting tank 203 can be set rationally.

[0048] Here, the water collecting tank 203 is long. The water collecting tank 203 is provided with a fixing plate for mounting to the inner wall of the storage room of the atmospheric water generating system. The water collecting tray 201 is provided below the freshwater generating evaporator 101 by the mounting plate. In this way, since the water collecting tray 201 is disposed separately from the water collecting tank 203, cleaning and replacement are easy, and the internal structure of the atmospheric water generating system becomes compact.

[0049] Regarding removing and replacing the water filtration net 202, the water filtration net 202 may be formed into a bowl shape, and a flange that abuts on the edge of the water collection tank water supply port 2031 may be provided at the opening at the top of the water filtration net 202. In this way, the direct attachment / detachment structure and the separate structure of the water collection tank 203 and the water collection tray 201 make it easy to replace the water filtration net 202 and ensure water quality.

[0050] Furthermore, a cover is provided on the top of the water collection tank 203 to accommodate water filter screens 202 of various sizes.

[0051] Regarding the structure of the water collecting tray 201, a partition plate 2012 is provided in the water collecting tray 201 so as to separate it into a first tray portion 2013 and a second tray portion 2014, the first tray portion 2013 is funnel-shaped, the water collecting tray spout 2011 is provided at the bottom of the first tray portion 2013, the partition plate 2012 is provided with a through hole that connects the second tray portion 2014 and the first tray portion 2013, and a groove is provided in the second tray portion 2014 extending to communicate with the through hole. Here, the second tray portion 2014 guides collected water to the first tray portion 2013 via the groove and the through hole, and this water flows from the water collecting tray spout 2011 into the water collecting tank 203.

[0052] More specifically, the first tray section 2013 is located below the freshwater evaporator 101, and the second tray section 2014 is located below the condenser 102. In this manner, all of the water generated in the freshwater evaporator 101 is collected. <Water cooling device>

[0053] 11 to 15, the atmospheric water production system further includes a water cooling device 30, which 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 (instantaneous cooling evaporation pipe) and an outer pipe (water container) to which a plurality of pipes are connected, and serves to quickly cool water.

[0054] Specifically, the inner pipe of the direct cooling pipe 302 communicates with the condenser 102 and the compressor 103, and circulates and cools the refrigerant to supply it, while 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, and the cold water circulation valve is suitable for circulating cold water and supplying it to 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 compressor 103, transported to the condenser 102 for cooling, and then circulated and sent to the inner pipe of the direct cooling pipe 302. In this way, the freshwater generating 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 same compressor 103 and condenser 102 are used to realize the functions of condensed freshwater generation and water cooling, reducing the number of parts in the entire atmospheric freshwater generation system, lowering the cost of the entire system, reducing energy consumption, making the system structure 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 use of the water cooling device 30, the direct cooling pipe 302 is operated, and the cold water pump is driven to cause the water in the water storage tank 301 to flow into the direct cooling pipe 302, and the direct cooling pipe 302 quickly lowers the water temperature to a desired temperature (e.g., 3 to 4°C).

[0057] In addition, circulation of cold water can be realized by the cold water pump, the direct cooling pipe 302, and the cold water circulation valve. In the standby state or when cold water is not used externally, the direct cooling pipe 302 operates intermittently, so that the temperature of the water in the direct cooling pipe 302 can be kept at 3 to 4°C. In this way, energy consumption can be reduced, and energy saving effects can be achieved.

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

[0059] That is, the freshwater production expansion valve and the instantaneous cooling expansion valve are provided in the discharge pipe of the condenser 102, the freshwater production expansion valve is connected to the condenser 102 and the freshwater production evaporator 101, and the instantaneous cooling expansion valve is connected to the direct cooling pipe 302 and the condenser 102. As a result, all the refrigerants used in the freshwater production evaporator 101 and the direct cooling pipe 302 are compressed by the compressor 103 and then transported to the condenser 102, cooled, and then circulated and sent to the freshwater production expansion valve and the instantaneous cooling expansion valve, and the freshwater production expansion valve and the instantaneous cooling expansion valve are automatically adjusted according to the desired freshwater production amount and the desired cold water temperature, and the refrigerant further passes through the evaporative cooler provided in the freshwater production evaporator 101 and the direct cooling pipe 302. As a result, the amount of freshwater production and the cold water temperature can be easily and automatically controlled.

[0060] In addition, in the water cooling device 30, the water tank 301 is provided in a storage room of the atmospheric water production system so that it can be pulled out, and a first quick connector is provided at the water inlet and water outlet of the water tank 301, thus making it easy to remove the water tank 301 for cleaning or to quickly install it.

[0061] Specifically, the water cooling device 30 further includes a base 303 and a second retractable tray 304, the base 303 is fixed in the storage chamber of the atmospheric water production system, the base 303 defines a first groove 3031 with one end open, the second retractable tray 304 is slidably connected to the first groove 3031, the second retractable tray 304 defines a second groove 3041, the water storage tank 301 is installed in the second groove 3041, and a first quick connector 3011 is provided on both the water inlet and the water outlet of the water storage tank 301.

[0062] In other words, since the water tank 301 is prone to limescale after long-term use, when it is necessary to clean the water tank 301, the second retractable tray 304 is pulled out from the first groove 3031, the water tank 301 in the second groove 3041 is moved away from the storage room of the atmospheric water production system, and then the water tank 301 is removed from the second groove 3041, and at the same time, the first quick connector 3011 of the water tank 301 is disconnected from the quick connector of the hose to be connected, thereby facilitating manual cleaning or replacement of the water tank 301. After cleaning of the water tank 301 is completed, the water tank 301 is returned to the second groove 3041, the second retractable tray 304 is pushed back into the first groove 3031, the water tank 301 is returned to the room of the atmospheric water production system, and the first quick connector 3011 of the water tank 301 is connected to the quick connector of the hose to be connected, thereby restoring normal use.

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

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

[0065] 16 to 18, the atmospheric water production system further includes a water heating device 40, which 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 the water to be heated quickly.

[0066] Specifically, the hot water tank 401 is connected to the water storage tank 301, and the direct heater 402 is connected to the hot water tank 401, a hot water circulation valve, and a hot water outlet valve, and the hot water circulation valve is suitable for circulating hot water to flow into the hot water tank 401.

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

[0068] The hot water tank 401 is provided with a hot water tank drain outlet 4011, and a drain valve is connected to the hot water tank drain outlet 4011. In this manner, the hot water tank 401 can be washed. <Water purification equipment>

[0069] 19 to 22, the atmospheric water production system further includes a water purification device 50, which has a combination filter 501 and a sterilizer 502. The combination filter 501 is provided in a water passage that connects the water collection tank 203 and the water storage tank 301 and a water passage that connects the water storage tank 301 and the direct cooling pipe 302, and filters the water, and the sterilizer 502 is provided in the water passage that connects the water storage tank 301 and the direct cooling pipe 302, and sterilizes and disinfects the 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 , and after passing through the water storage tank 301 , is sterilized in a circular manner by the external sterilizer 502 .

[0071] Specifically, the combined filter 501 includes a filter case 5011, a first retractable tray 5012, and a second quick connector 5013, and multiple types of filter elements 5014 are stored in the filter case 5011. The filter case 5011 is disposed in the first retractable tray 5012, which is slidably connected to the storage chamber of the atmospheric water generating system, and the second quick connector 5013 is connected to the water inlet and water outlet of the filter element 5014. This allows the filter case 5011 to be pulled out of the chamber of the atmospheric water generating system by the retractable tray, and the quick connector of the hose of the filter element 5014 to be quickly detached from the hose to be fitted, thereby making it possible to easily replace the filter element 5014. After replacement, the filter case 5011 is pushed back into the chamber of the atmospheric water generating system by the retractable tray, and the quick connector of the hose of the filter element 5014 is quickly connected to the hose to be fitted. This makes it easier to clean and replace the filter element, facilitating maintenance and ensuring high water quality.

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

[0073] In addition, with regard to the specific slidable connection structure between the first retractable tray 5012 and the storage chamber of the atmospheric water production system, a slide rail is provided in the storage chamber and a slider is provided on the first retractable tray 5012, and the slider is slidably connected to the slide rail, thereby allowing the first retractable tray 5012 to slide within the storage chamber by being pulled out.

[0074] The combination filter 501 can perform initial filtration using at least one filter element 5014 in the water passage between the water collection tank 203 and the water storage tank 301, and perform finishing filtration using 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 / ozone sterilizer and includes an easily replaceable ultraviolet lamp, which is provided so that it can be tilted outward. When replacing the ultraviolet lamp, the sterilizer 502 can be tilted outward, making it easy to replace the ultraviolet lamp. The sterilizer 502 further includes an ozone inlet, and during ozone disinfection, ozone generated in an ozone generator is injected into the sterilizer 502 by an ozone pump and sufficiently dissolved in flowing water to perform sterilization.

[0076] In addition, the water in the water storage tank 301 flows into the sterilizer 502 and is circulated and sterilized by external ultraviolet rays and ozone, so that sterilization by ultraviolet irradiation and ozone can be sufficiently performed during the flow of the water.

[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 tank 301, the water outlet of the container housing 5021 is connected to the combination 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 is connected to the container housing 5021 to inject ozone into the container housing 5021 and disinfect the water.

[0078] In other words, the sterilizer 502 is provided in the water passage that connects the water storage tank 301 and the combined filter 501, and utilizes the external ultraviolet sterilization circulation to enable sufficient sterilization by ultraviolet irradiation while the water is flowing. On the other hand, for ozone disinfection, ozone from an ozone generator is injected into a container housing 5021 with an ultraviolet sterilization function, and is thoroughly dissolved in the flowing water to perform sterilization.

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

[0080] Here, the ultraviolet lamp 5022 may be attached by being inserted into the container housing 5021 from the top of the container housing 5021. The water supply port of the container housing 5021 is provided at a position close to the bottom of the container housing 5021, and the water discharge port of the container housing 5021 is provided at a position close to the top of the container housing 5021. In this way, the water flowing inside the container housing 5021 can be sufficiently sterilized and disinfected.

[0081] As described above, during water purification, the water in the water storage tank 301 is pumped by the cold water pump into the container casing 5021 for sterilization and disinfection, then pumped to the combined filter 501 for filtering, and then pumped directly to the cooling pipe 302; alternatively, the water in the water storage tank 301 is pumped by the cold water pump into the container casing 5021 for sterilization and disinfection, then pumped to the cold water circulation valve and further to the water storage tank 301. In this way, water circulation within the water storage tank 301 is achieved and the water quality is ensured. <Cleaning equipment>

[0082] 23, the atmospheric water generating system further includes a cleaning device, which includes an external cleaning tank, a circulation pump, and a water lifting pump. The cleaning device cleans the water collection tank 203 and the hot water tank 401.

[0083] When cleaning the water tank, first, the drain valve is opened, and the water in the water tank (storage tank or hot water tank) is pumped to the external cleaning tank by the action of the water pump, and the cleaning water in the external cleaning tank is injected into the water tank by the action of the circulation pump. This performs circulatory cleaning of the water tank. The cleaning water in the external cleaning tank may be replaced during cleaning. In this way, the water quality is ensured.

[0084] In a specific embodiment, the specific structure of the atmospheric water generating system may further include a frame 70, which defines a storage chamber, and the storage chamber has a first chamber, a second chamber, and a third chamber, in which the atmospheric water generating evaporator 101, the condenser 102, the fan 104, and the water heating device 40 of the atmospheric water generating device 10 are arranged in the first chamber on the top layer, the compressor 103, the noise reduction device 105, the control board 603, and various pumps are arranged in the second chamber, and the water collecting device 20, the water cooling device 30, the water purification device 50, and various pumps are arranged in the third chamber.
