Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field related to solar water heaters, and in particular to a wind energy and solar energy combined water heater with an active adjustment and reversing function. Background Art

[0002] With the emphasis on environmental protection and energy diversity, combining different forms of renewable energy, such as solar energy and wind energy, has become a hot topic in research and application. The purpose of this integrated system is to maximize the use of natural resources and ensure stable energy services under all weather conditions. However, the existing wind and solar energy combined water heaters still have the following defects:

[0003] 1. The efficiency of existing solar water heaters is greatly affected by weather conditions at night. The heating capacity decreases on cloudy or overcast days. In winter or in areas with short sunshine hours, the heating efficiency is significantly reduced. Auxiliary heating systems may be required and larger water storage tanks are required to ensure all-weather water supply. In addition, solar collectors take up more space.

[0004] 2. The existing wind energy water heaters have unstable power output due to the change of wind speed during operation, which requires the use of other energy sources or energy storage facilities. In addition, the best wind energy resources are usually located in remote areas, with high transmission costs and possible impact on the landscape. Wind turbines generate noise during operation and may affect wildlife such as birds and bats.

[0005] 3. Existing wind-solar combined water heaters cannot achieve thermal circulation to reduce energy consumption. There is no thermal circulation or the thermal circulation is poor. The heat converted by solar energy or wind energy cannot be effectively transferred to all stored water, resulting in low overall heating efficiency. It takes longer to heat the water to the required temperature. In some areas, water temperature stratification may cause the water temperature at the bottom of the water tank to be too low, forming hot and cold spots, which not only reduces efficiency, but also may promote scale deposition and equipment corrosion, shortening the service life of the water heater.

[0018] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0019] The wind-solar combined water heater with active adjustment and reversing function of the present invention has the function of realizing precise steering of sunlight and completing light energy conversion in real time, and by automatically steering and tracking the position of the sun, the solar collector can always maintain the best angle with the sunlight, maximize the absorption of solar radiation energy, thereby significantly improving the water heating efficiency and speed, and maintaining efficient heat collection at more times of the day, which can increase the amount of hot water generated per unit time, especially on days with good lighting conditions, and can better meet the hot water needs of homes or commercial places. The improved heat collection efficiency means reduced dependence on auxiliary heating energy (such as electricity), thereby achieving the purpose of reducing energy consumption and reducing carbon emissions, being more environmentally friendly and energy-saving, and compared with fixed solar water heaters, equipment with automatic sun tracking function can optimize the light receiving angle of the collector plate in different seasons and weather conditions, avoid material aging caused by local overheating, help to extend the service life of the entire system, and users do not need to manually adjust the collector angle. The system operates intelligently to ensure stable hot water supply throughout the year, improving convenience and comfort of use.

[0020] In the wind-solar combined water heater with active adjustment and reversing function of the present invention, the gas heated by the water heater passes through the insulation tube to form flow constant temperature protection on the surface of the flow tube, and this effect can effectively reduce the heat loss caused by convection, conduction or radiation by wrapping the flow tube with the insulation tube. This allows the water in the water heater to maintain a higher temperature for a longer time, reducing the frequency of reheating, thereby saving energy, and good insulation measures help to maintain the temperature of the water flow in the system more uniform, avoiding the situation where some areas are overheated while other areas are cooled, improving the comfort and efficiency during use, and by reducing the impact of temperature fluctuations and the external environment on the system, the insulation layer can protect the pipes of the water heater from damage caused by cold and hot shocks, reduce corrosion and aging, thereby extending the overall service life of the water heater, and in a well-insulated system, due to the reduction of unnecessary energy losses, the working energy efficiency of the water heater is improved.

[0021] The purpose of the wind-solar combined water heater with active adjustment and reversing function of the present invention is to set a baffle or a guide structure to promote effective heat exchange between the hot fluid (hot water) and the cold fluid (cold water) inside the water tank. Through natural convection or forced circulation (usually driven by a water pump rather than direct stirring by a generator), the hot and cold water flow alternately under the guidance of the baffle, so that the low-temperature water is heated faster, the uniformity of the water temperature of the whole water tank and the heating efficiency are improved, and by strengthening the stirring and convection of the internal water flow, the time for the cold water to be heated to a suitable temperature can be shortened. This helps to quickly accumulate hot water when the sunshine is sufficient, meet the user's immediate or short-term hot water needs, and the convection stirring also helps to prevent obvious temperature stratification in the water tank, especially during continuous use, the newly added cold water can be integrated into the overall hot water environment faster, maintain the relative balance of the temperature inside the water tank, and provide a continuous and stable hot water supply. In addition, the efficient heat exchange reduces the dependence on the auxiliary heating system (such as the electric heating rod), especially when the lighting conditions are poor, the water temperature can be maintained for a longer time, thereby achieving the effect of energy saving and emission reduction.
