Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain sanitary and clean potable water by combining a water resistant conical body having an intake groove to the lower edge, a water resistant vessel, a solar cell and a Peltier effect element. CONSTITUTION:A trestle 3 is covered with a gas collection cone 1 and a vessel 4 held with raw water A is placed to the lower part of the trestle 3 and a vessel 5 for clean water is placed under the lower end of the gas collection cone 1. Then the cone 1 is wound with water-retentive cloth 16 and a solar cell panel 6 is spread and allowed to stand toward the sun and to face for sunlight B by controlling a strut 11. Then the connecting part 13 of a Peltier effect circuit is set into the vessel 4 of raw water and the other connecting part 14 is set in the vessel 5 of clean water and raw water A is heated with atmospheric temp., direct sunlight B and a heating part 13 and evaporated and this steam allows to be stuck on the inner surface of the gas collection cone 1. In this case, the gas collection cone 1 is cooled by wind and discharge of heat of gasification due to evaporation of water contained in cloth 16. Therefore the steam stuck on the inner surface of the cone 1 is made to waterdropets and conducted on the inner surface of the cone 1 and flows through an intake groove 2 and is stored in the vessel 5 and thereafter cooled by a cooler 14 and made to cooled water.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] A. Purpose and conventional technology The present invention is mainly used for emergencies, for example, when people in distress, such as the crew of a sunken ship or a shot down aircraft, can drink drinking water from seawater while on a lifeboat or on an isolated island. The invention relates to a device for obtaining . Of course, it is also effective for inland people and explorers to obtain clean drinking water from polluted river water, lake water, etc.

In addition to being difficult to swallow and the drug itself deteriorating, it also had the disadvantage of being a consumable item. In addition, those made of ~ material had problems with clogging and cleaning, making it difficult to use repeatedly.

The present invention provides a means of obtaining hygienic and visually clean drinking water free of these drawbacks.

Mouth In the configuration diagram of the invention, l is an air collection cone. A conical surface that has been treated with water resistance or is made of water-resistant paper, synthetic resin sheets, etc.
If you cut it along the leftmost generatrix line and expand it, you will get an isosceles triangle as shown in Figure 2. Then, as shown by the chain line, the lower edge is folded back (at this time, both ends of the folded part are cut out) to form the water intake groove 2.

In a cone, this is the inside. Alternatively, the upper side may be flattened and the lower edge cut out with an inclined plane. It is fine as long as this line is always getting longer.However, if all of the above are cut at the longest generating line and expanded, they become a quadrilateral. Since the butt length is the shortest, it is advantageous when bonding together to make a conical surface. (It may be made by inserting the hooking protrusion into the hole, or depending on the material, it may be made from sheets by vacuum forming, blow molding, etc. without bonding them together.) Although a pyramidal surface can also be used, a conical surface is more advantageous in terms of water intake. In any case, it can be folded flat when not in use. Moreover, the water intake groove 2 may be made separately and installed.

Reference numeral 3 denotes a tripod type pedestal, and the upper ends of three metal rods (synthetic resin or the like may be used) are connected directly or indirectly and integrated by welding or the like. When welding, for example, weld in the open state as shown in Fig. 1, use the springiness of the material to shorten the legs, and store it by binding it with a string or rubber band. When in use, if you untie it, it will spring back to its original state. In the case of engagement, it can be closed or opened by creating a structure similar to an umbrella potter's wheel, for example. When in use, as shown in Figure 1, by covering the air intake cone l, the legs will not open excessively and will be stabilized.

4 is a raw water container, which is a foldable container made of water-resistant or water-resistant treated paper, synthetic resin sheet, etc. 5 is a water purification container having a similar structure.

6 is a solar panel. Multiple elements are joined together to create a rolled or foldable sheet. 7 is the reinforcing material, which is used to keep it flat when it is unfolded. The figure shows an example in which the flat surface is maintained by hooking both ends of two thin elastic rods diagonally to hooks at the corners of the panel and tensioning them. 8 are lightweight rods or tubes attached to both ends of the panel that serve as legs. Reference numeral 9 denotes a protrusion provided at the center of the upper end of the panel, which has a screw hole and is connected to the upper end of the flexible support 13 with a wing screw 10. When the screw is loosened, the support 11 is aligned with the vertical center line of the panel. Can rotate within a vertical plane. Further, the support column 11 can be expanded and contracted by an appropriate expansion and contraction mechanism 12.

It has terminals that can be used to configure a circuit powered by a battery.

Reference numeral 16 is a sheet made of cloth or other water-retaining material, and it is moistened with water and squeezed to the extent that no drops will drip. An air collecting cone 1 is placed on top, a container 4 containing raw water A is placed under it, and a purified water container 5 is placed under the lower end of the air collecting cone. Water retention cloth 16 on the air collection cone
roll. Spread out the solar panel 6 and stand it facing the sun,
Adjust the support post 11 to face sunlight B directly. After that, depending on the movement of the sun, the entire panel is rotated in a horizontal plane from time to time, and the tilt is adjusted so that the sunlight hits the panel as perpendicularly as possible. One joint 13 of the Beltier effect circuit is placed in a raw water container, and the other joint 14 is placed in a purified water container. If the configuration is such that the flow is connected to both poles of the solar cell so that it flows in the direction that works as a part, the raw water A will be heated by the temperature, direct light B, heat generating part 13, etc., and evaporate, and the temperature will rise to f111° within the air collection cone L. It sticks, but the air collection cone is wind and cloth 1
Since the water is cooled by the release of heat of vaporization due to evaporation of water in the water, it becomes water droplets that travel along the inner surface of the air collection cone, flow through the water intake groove 2, and accumulate in the water purification container 7. The water is then cooled in the cooling section 14 and becomes brine.

Actually, the cooling part 14 has 11 curves according to the curved surface of the air collecting cone 1.
If it is placed over the head of the air cone, it can cool the cone and promote the conversion of air and water. The example shown is an example in which the water is installed in a position where it will block the water and allow enough light to enter the raw water container 4 from between the legs 8, but if multiple solar panels are used, the power of heat generation and cooling can be greatly increased. It is possible to do this, and it is possible to disperse and arrange them at appropriate locations.

Instead of heating using the solar cell and Peltier effect element on the upper side, a portable heat generating material that uses quicklime or iron powder as its main material and utilizes the heat of reaction between quicklime and water, or between iron powder and oxygen (this article) (referred to as a reaction exothermic material) may also be used. Of course, they may be used together.

2. Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above, according to the present invention, all the parts can be folded into a bundle of plate-shaped or linear materials.
The whole unit has a small volume (it can be even more compact if the legs of the pedestal and battery panel are added), and it is lightweight, making it easy to carry, and it can be easily assembled and disassembled in a short time, making it easy to clean. Unlike chemicals or filtration, raw water A can be heated more efficiently than solar cells by irradiating it with sunlight using a Fresnel lens, but the relative position of the lens and raw water is severely limited. Therefore, the size of the lens is limited, and the number of lenses is also limited. On the other hand, solar panels have the advantage that they can be increased without limit as needed since there are no restrictions on the relative positions.

Furthermore, the use of the Beltier effect usually requires only one of cooling or heat generation, and the other often becomes a nuisance, but in the case of the present invention, both are effectively utilized, making it extremely effective.

In fact, if you turn the pyramid upside down and put the water intake groove on the outside, you can collect rainwater more efficiently.

Furthermore, if usage conditions such as region and climate are limited, shape-memory resin can be used for the pyramids and containers to make them easier to use.

In any case, it is small, lightweight, easy to handle, inexpensive, and requires no running costs, so in addition to the above-mentioned uses, it is also effective as a general household fixture in case of a disaster such as a major earthquake.
