Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of heat pump technology, specifically to a waste heat recovery heat pump with a heat storage device. Background Technology

[0002] A heat pump is a highly efficient and energy-saving device that transfers heat through a reverse thermodynamic cycle. Its core principle is to absorb heat from a low-temperature heat source (such as air, groundwater, soil, or industrial waste heat), and then transfer it to a high-temperature end after energy enhancement to meet the needs of heating, hot water, or industrial heat. Heat pumps are a key technology hub for global energy transition, the achievement of carbon neutrality goals, and the protection of people's livelihoods. Their role is particularly prominent in the current context of high dependence on fossil fuels and an escalating climate crisis.

[0003] Heat pump equipment capable of waste heat recovery requires periodic descaling through acid washing, high-pressure water flushing, or mechanical brushing. This not only consumes time and causes downtime but may also damage the equipment structure. It cannot cope with the scale layer generated in real time during operation and lacks a real-time interception mechanism for scale. The scale layer will gradually adhere and easily accumulate in the pipe. There are no active cleaning components, and the scale layer will still accumulate after long-term operation. Moreover, the water flow can only guide the medium along a fixed path and cannot adjust the guiding angle according to changes in water flow velocity and working fluid flow rate, resulting in local medium stagnation and excessively low flow velocity, which in turn creates conditions for scale layer adhesion.

[0014] This invention provides a waste heat recovery heat pump with a heat storage device. It has the following beneficial effects: (i) This waste heat recovery heat pump with a heat storage device can efficiently capture low-temperature waste heat from industrial waste gas through the waste heat recovery structure. With the help of flue gas conveying and heat transfer components, the waste heat is accurately transferred to the heat pump working fluid. The working fluid releases heat after compression and is evenly distributed to the hot water storage tank through finned components. The heat storage tank's insulation design can significantly reduce heat loss. With the flow control components, the flow and throttling state of the working fluid can be adjusted in real time to ensure that the heat storage medium (water) is maintained in the target temperature range for a long time. This process not only realizes the resource utilization of industrial waste heat and avoids energy waste, but also provides continuous and stable heat for heating, hot water supply and other scenarios, which meets the needs of energy conservation and carbon neutrality and effectively reduces the overall energy cost.

[0015] (II) The waste heat recovery heat pump with heat storage device can drive the scraper to slide along the inner wall of the heat storage tank through the scraper-related components to mechanically clean the surface of the heat exchange components and remove the initial scale layer in time. The flow guiding component can guide the water flow direction by adjusting the angle. Combined with the stirring effect generated by the surface propeller rotating with the water flow, it avoids local water flow stagnation and reduces the conditions for scale formation from the source. This proactive prevention and control method does not rely on traditional maintenance methods such as frequent acid washing and high-pressure flushing. It avoids the corrosion of metal parts by chemical cleaning, reduces downtime maintenance time, effectively prevents the heat exchange efficiency decay caused by scale accumulation, significantly extends the life of the core components of the equipment, and ensures long-term operating efficiency.

[0016] (III) This waste heat recovery heat pump with heat storage device achieves precise control of the working fluid and water flow through multiple structures. The check valve can prevent the working fluid from flowing backward with the help of elastic components and sealing structure, thus avoiding disruption of the heat pump cycle balance. The flow distribution component can flexibly adjust the distribution of the working fluid in the heat exchange component through a rotatable flow distribution plate. Combined with the angle limit of the flow guide component and the water flow guidance, it ensures that the working fluid flows evenly through each heat exchange area, avoiding local overload or medium short circuit. The flow control and throttling components can adjust parameters in real time according to the working fluid pressure, water tank temperature and other operating conditions, so that the equipment can adapt to different operating conditions, reduce the risk of failure caused by uneven medium flow or circulation disorder, ensure the long-term efficient and stable operation of the heat pump cycle, and improve the overall reliability of the equipment.

[0019] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] Example 1, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2This invention provides a waste heat recovery heat pump with a heat storage device, including a casing 1. A waste heat recovery unit 2 is installed inside the casing 1. A heat storage unit 3 is arranged on the side of the waste heat recovery unit 2. A scraper 4 is installed inside the heat storage unit 3. The heat storage unit 3 includes a housing component 31, the surface of which contacts the inner wall of the casing 1. A finned component 32 is arranged inside the housing component 31, and a flow-diverting component 33 is installed inside the finned component 32. The scraper 4 includes a feeding component 41, the surface of which contacts the inner wall of the housing component 31. A flow-guiding component 42 is installed inside the feeding component 41. The flow-guiding component 42 includes a guide plate 421. A connecting shaft 422 and a limiting key 423 are fixedly connected to the side of the guide plate 421. An arc groove 424 is formed on the surface of the guide plate 421. A propeller 425 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the arc groove 424. The propeller 425 includes a pin, the outer surface of which is connected to... The inner wall of the arc groove 424 rotates, and a circular block is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the pin. An arc plate is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the circular block. Because the surface of the housing component 31 is in contact with the inner wall of the casing 1, it obtains stable support through the casing 1 and can also accommodate the heat exchange medium water through its own structure. The fin component 32 inside the housing component 31 serves as the core heat exchange component, which can increase the contact area between the medium and the waste heat and improve the heat absorption efficiency. The flow distribution component 33 inside the fin component 32 can evenly distribute the medium, such as heat pump working fluid or water flow, entering the fin component 32, avoiding uneven heat exchange caused by local medium retention and ensuring stable heat storage effect. Because the surface of the feeding component 41 is in contact with the inner wall of the housing component 31, it can be positioned by relying on the structure of the housing component 31 to provide power support for subsequent flow guidance and cleaning actions. The flow guiding component 42 inside the feeding component 41 is the core function. The flow guiding plate 421 is connected by the connecting shaft 422 fixed on the side. The guide plate 421 can rotate around the axis, and the limit key 423 can limit the rotation range of the guide plate 421, so that the guide plate 421 can adjust the angle according to the medium flow requirements, accurately guide the medium in the box component 31 to the fin component 32, and improve the heat exchange contact efficiency. The arc groove 424 opened on the surface of the guide plate 421 provides installation and movement space for the propeller 425. The pin of the propeller 425 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the arc groove 424. When the medium flows through the guide plate 421, it will drive the circular block and arc plate of the propeller 425 to rotate around the pin. This rotation can enhance the disturbance effect of the medium, prevent the medium from stagnating on the surface of the fin component 32, and also help clean the initial impurities or scale on the surface of the fin component 32.

[0021] Example 2, please refer to Figures 3 to 8Based on Embodiment 1, the present invention provides a technical solution: the waste heat recovery unit 2 includes a waste gas energy exchange component 21, the surface of which is in contact with the inner wall of the casing 1. A compression component 22 is installed inside the waste gas energy exchange component 21, and a check valve component 23 is provided inside the compression component 22. The waste gas energy exchange component 21 includes a flue gas duct 211, a gas collecting ring 212 is fixedly connected to the end of the flue gas duct 211, a heat dissipation pipe 213 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the gas collecting ring 212, an insulation cover is fitted on the outer surface of the gas collecting ring 212, a support frame is detachably connected to the outer surface of the insulation cover, the end of the support frame is fixed to the inner wall of the casing 1, and the end of the flue gas duct 211 away from the gas collecting ring 212 is fixed to the inner wall of the casing 1. The compression component 211... The system includes a compression push rod 221, a compression cylinder 222 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the compression push rod 221, a pressure plate fixedly connected to the end of the compression push rod 221, the outer surface of the pressure plate sliding against the inner wall of the compression cylinder 222, a cooling pipe 223 fixedly connected to the end of the compression cylinder 222, an electronic control valve 224 fixedly connected to the surface of the cooling pipe 223, and a check valve 23 including a liquid pipe 231, the end of the liquid pipe 231 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the compression cylinder 222, a ring frame 232 and a filler ring 236 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the liquid pipe 231, a tension spring 233 fixedly connected to the surface of the ring frame 232, a sleeve 234 fitted onto the outer surface of the tension spring 233, and a locking ball 235 fixedly connected to the end of the ring frame 232 away from the ring frame 232. The outer surface of component 5 slides against the inner wall of casing 234, and the end of casing 234 is fixed to the outer surface of ring frame 232. Box component 31 includes an insulated water tank 311, the outer surface of which is fixed to the inner wall of casing 1. A support rod 312 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the insulated water tank 311, and the end of the support rod 312 is fixed to the inner wall of casing 1. A drain pipe 313, an inlet pipe 314, and a drain pipe 315 are fixedly connected to the surface of the insulated water tank 311. An electronic expansion valve 316 is fixedly connected to the end of liquid pipe 231, and the end of the electronic expansion valve 316 is fixed to the inner wall of the insulated water tank 311. The inner wall of the insulated water tank 311 is fixed to the outer surface of cooling pipe 223. Fin component 32 includes a fin shell 321, the inner wall of which is fixed... A heat dissipation duct 323 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the shell 321. A distribution pipe 322 and a converging pipe 324 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the insulated water tank 311. The surface of the distribution pipe 322 is fixed to the end of the compression spring 233. The diversion component 33 includes a connecting ring 331. The outer surface of the connecting ring 331 is fixed to the inner wall of the cooling pipe 223. A rotating shaft 332 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting ring 331. A diversion plate 333 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the rotating shaft 332. The waste heat recovery unit 2 serves as the core for waste heat capture and working fluid treatment. The surface of the waste gas energy exchange component 21 it contains is in contact with the inner wall of the casing 1. The overall structure is positioned by relying on the casing 1. The low-temperature heat source of industrial waste gas is introduced through the flue gas duct 211.Because the end of the flue gas duct 211 furthest from the gas collecting ring 212 is fixed to the inner wall of the casing 1, the exhaust gas can be stably delivered to the gas collecting ring 212. The gas collecting ring 212 evenly distributes the exhaust gas to the heat dissipation pipe 213 fixed on the inner side, so that the heat of the exhaust gas is transferred to the subsequent working medium through the pipe wall of the heat dissipation pipe 213. At the same time, the heat insulation cover sleeved on the outer surface of the gas collecting ring 212 reduces the loss of waste heat during the transfer process. The end of the support frame that can be detachably connected to the outer surface of the heat insulation cover is fixed to the inner wall of the casing 1, further reinforcing the installation stability of the exhaust gas energy exchange component 21 and ensuring efficient transfer of waste heat. The box component 31 of the heat accumulator 3 undertakes the functions of heat storage and medium management. The outer surface of the insulated water tank 311 is fixed to the inner wall of the casing 1. The inner wall of the casing 1 is fixed, and the end of the bottom-fixed support rod 312 is fixed to the inner wall of the casing 1. This double fixation ensures that the insulated water tank 311 does not shift during equipment operation. The inlet pipe 314 fixed to the surface of the insulated water tank 311 is used to replenish the heat storage medium water, and the drain pipe 315 is used to output the heated hot water to meet external heat demand. The drain pipe 313 periodically discharges the impurities deposited in the water tank to prevent impurities from affecting the heat exchange efficiency. The end of the electronic expansion valve 316 fixed to the end of the liquid pipe 231 is fixed to the inner wall of the insulated water tank 311. The high-pressure liquid working fluid transported by the check valve 23 flows into the electronic expansion valve 316, and the pressure is reduced to low-temperature, low-pressure gas-liquid through the valve's throttling effect. The mixture is in a mixed state, preparing for subsequent heat exchange. The inner wall of the insulated water tank 311 is fixed to the outer surface of the cooling pipe 223. The high-temperature working fluid in the cooling pipe 223 can first exchange heat with the water in the tank, releasing some heat in advance. The ends of the distribution pipe 322 and the convergence pipe 324 fixed to the inner wall of the shell 321 of the fin component 32 are both fixed to the inner wall of the insulated water tank 311. The surface of the distribution pipe 322 is also fixed to the end of the compression spring 233, which not only strengthens the installation of the distribution pipe 322, but also helps to stabilize the structure of the check valve component 23. The distribution pipe 322 evenly distributes the gas-liquid mixed working fluid output by the electronic expansion valve 316 to the heat dissipation duct 323 fixed to the inner wall of the shell 321 for heat dissipation. The conduit 323 increases the contact area between the working fluid and the water in the tank, allowing the working fluid to fully release heat to heat the water and complete heat storage. The heat-exchanged working fluid then flows into the converging pipe 324, preparing for the next cycle. The outer surface of the connecting ring 331 of the diverting component 33 is fixed to the inner wall of the cooling pipe 223. A diverting plate 333 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the rotating shaft 332 fixed to the inner wall of the connecting ring 331. When the working fluid flows in the cooling pipe 223, the diverting plate 333 can rotate flexibly around the rotating shaft 332, automatically adjusting the guiding angle according to the working fluid flow rate. This prevents localized stagnation of the working fluid in the cooling pipe 223, ensuring a uniform flow of the working fluid to subsequent components and further improving overall heat exchange and circulation efficiency.

[0022] Example 3, please refer to Figures 9 to 12Based on embodiments 1-2, the present invention provides a technical solution: the feeding component 41 includes a feeding motor 411, the outer surface of the feeding motor 411 is fitted with a cover, the outer surface of the cover is fixed to the outer surface of the insulated water tank 311 and the inner wall of the casing 1, the end of the feeding motor 411 is fixedly connected to a screw 412, the end of the screw 412 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the insulated water tank 311, and the outer surface of the screw 412 is threadedly connected to a scraper 413, the outer surface of the scraper 413 is fixedly connected to a scraper 413. A key 414 is fixedly connected, and the outer surface of the key 414 slides against the inner wall of the insulated water tank 311. The outer surface of the connecting shaft 422 rotates against the inner wall of the scraper 413. The outer surface of the limiting key 423 slides against the inner wall of the scraper 413. Several guide plates 421 are provided and evenly distributed along the inner wall of the scraper 413. The maximum angle between the guide plates 421 and the scraper 413 that can rotate is 45°. The scraper 413 is close to the heat exchange components inside the insulated water tank 311 and moves linearly. The system mechanically removes initial scale buildup from the surface of the heat exchange components, preventing scale accumulation from affecting heat exchange efficiency. The outer surface of the connecting shaft 422 of the flow guide component 42 rotates relative to the inner wall of the scraper 413, allowing the flow guide plate 421 to rotate flexibly around the connecting shaft 422. Simultaneously, the outer surface of the limiting key 423 slides relative to the inner wall of the scraper 413, limiting the rotation range of the flow guide plate 421 and ensuring that the maximum included angle between the flow guide plate 421 and the scraper 413 is 45°, preventing excessive rotation of the flow guide plate 421. To prevent water flow turbulence, several guide plates 421 are provided and evenly distributed along the inner wall of the scraper 413. When the scraper 413 moves along the inner wall of the insulated water tank 311, the guide plates 421 can simultaneously guide the heat storage medium water in the insulated water tank 311, so that the water flows evenly to the heat exchange components, increasing the contact area between the medium and the heat exchange components. The turbulence effect generated by the propeller 425 in the arc groove 424 on the surface of the guide plate 421 as it rotates with the water flow further reduces the water flow stagnation area, reducing the probability of scale formation from the source.

[0023] The working principle of this waste heat recovery heat pump with a heat storage device is described in detail below: In operation, the compression component 22 is first activated. The pressure plate at the end of the compression push rod 221 slides against the inner wall of the compression cylinder 222, initially acting on the heat pump working fluid within the compression cylinder 222. The working fluid, in a high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous state, then enters the cooling pipe 223 fixed at the end of the compression cylinder 222. The electronic control valve 224 on the surface of the cooling pipe 223 adjusts the working fluid flow rate in real time according to the working fluid pressure and subsequent heat storage requirements, ensuring stable delivery of the working fluid. Subsequently, the high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous working fluid flows along the cooling pipe 223 to the distribution pipe 322 of the finned component 32 in the heat accumulator 3. The distribution pipe 322 evenly distributes the working fluid to multiple sets of heat dissipation ducts 323 fixed to the inner wall of the shell 321. During this process... The waste gas energy exchange component 21 of the waste heat recovery unit 2 works synchronously. Industrial waste gas enters the gas collection ring 212 through the flue gas duct 211, and releases waste heat through the heat dissipation pipe 213 inside the gas collection ring 212. The insulated water tank 311 is fixed to the inner wall of the casing 1 by the support rod 312. The water inlet pipe 314 on its surface is used for water replenishment, the drain pipe 315 outputs hot water, and the sewage pipe 313 discharges impurities. The heat insulation cover outside the gas collection ring 212 reduces waste heat loss, and the support frame ensures its structural stability. The high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous working fluid in the heat dissipation duct 323 releases heat to heat the water in the insulated water tank 311 to achieve heat storage. It condenses into a high-pressure liquid working fluid due to heat release, and then the working fluid flows into the fin component. The converging tube 324 of component 32 completes the collection, and the high-pressure liquid working fluid flows out from the converging tube 324 and enters the electronic expansion valve 316 connected to the end of the liquid pipe 231 in the housing component 31. Through the throttling and pressure reduction effect of the electronic expansion valve 316, the working fluid is converted into a low-temperature and low-pressure gas-liquid mixture, and then flows along the liquid pipe 231 to the check valve component 23. After entering the check valve component 23, the positive pressure of the working fluid pushes the locking ball 235 to compress the tension spring 233 fixed on the surface of the compression ring frame 232, causing the locking ball 235 to disengage from the filler ring 236 fixed on the inner wall of the liquid pipe 231. The working fluid passes through the check valve component 23 in one direction and finally flows into the compression cylinder 222, completing one cycle of working fluid circulation. The scraper 4 continues to work. To ensure heat exchange efficiency, the cover of the feed motor 411 is fixed to the outer surface of the insulated water tank 311 and the inner wall of the casing 1. The feed motor 411 drives the screw 412 to rotate. The scraper 413, which is threaded to the outer surface of the screw 412, slides along the inner wall of the insulated water tank 311 through the protruding key 414 fixed to the outer surface. In the flow guiding component 42 installed on the inner wall of the scraper 413, the flow guide plate 421 rotates around the connecting shaft 422 to guide the water flow in the insulated water tank 311. The propeller 425, which is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the arc groove 424 on the surface of the flow guide plate 421, rotates synchronously with the water flow to further assist in the flow guidance and prevent scale from accumulating on the surface of the heat dissipation pipe 323, ensuring the continuous and stable operation of the equipment.
