Problems solved by technology

The disadvantage of the integral Stirling engine is: on the one hand, the introduction of the crank-link mechanism 21 has aggravated the wear of the compression piston (generator piston 7) and the discharger piston (phase-modulating piston 17) and the wall surface, and the displacement between the discharger and the compression The phase difference of the piston is not adjustable for different working conditions; in addition, the excluder of the integral Stirling engine works at high temperature, which reduces the service life
Its disadvantages are: on the one hand, the introduction of moving parts increases the complexity of the system; on the other hand, the ejector will move between high temperature and low temperature ends, which is unfavorable for the work of the ejector
In the driving circuit of the traditional traveling wave thermoacoustic engine driving power generation system (such as Image 6 As shown), the system uses a gas piston to replace the ejector for phase modulation. Although it solves the problem of moving parts, the phase of the pressure wave and velocity wave in the generator piston cavity is dominated by the standing wave component, which requires a large Only the volume of the piston can achieve limited work output; in addition, the excessive piston volume also requires larger and heavier circuit and magnetic circuit materials, which increases the volume and weight of the acoustic-electric conversion, and reduces the efficiency

Embodiment 1

[0056] The structure of embodiment 1 is as figure 1 As shown, it includes a cold-end heat exchanger 1, a heat regenerator 2, a heater 3, a thermal buffer pipe 4, a hot-end heat exchanger 5 and an annular connecting pipe that are connected in sequence and form a loop, and also includes a ring-shaped connecting pipe installed on the in the linear generator. In this embodiment, one end of the linear generator is connected to the "U"-shaped connecting pipe derived from the room temperature heat exchanger 5, and the connecting pipe is called the room temperature pipe 6; The "U"-shaped connecting pipe is called the cold-end pipe 18 . When heat enters the system from the heater 3, a temperature difference appears at both ends of the regenerator 2, and a temperature gradient is established in the axial direction of the regenerator 2. When the temperature gradient is greater than the critical temperature gradient, the traveling-wave thermoacoustic Stirling engine generates self-exci...

Embodiment 2

[0064] like figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, on the basis of embodiment 1, a metal bellows 20 is used to replace the mechanical spring 17 in embodiment 1, and a mass 29 is used to replace the phase-modulating piston 16 in embodiment 1; at the same time, a linear sliding The mass 29 is supported by a bearing or a leaf spring; a gas channel is added on the end face of the coil support 14, so that when the auxiliary bellows vibrates, the internal gas will not generate too much pressure fluctuation and damage the bellows. The metal bellows in this embodiment can be made of ordinary stainless steel 304 or beryllium bronze. The fabrication method is usually hydroforming or welding. Generally, hydroformed bellows are stiffer than welded bellows, so they are more stable.
