Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of magnetic refrigeration, and in particular relates to a magnetic refrigeration device. Background Art
[0002] According to statistics, nearly 20% of the global electricity consumption is used for refrigeration and air conditioning equipment. In recent years, with the rise in global temperatures and the increase in energy consumption, new green and environmentally friendly refrigeration technologies with no greenhouse gas potential have attracted much attention, and magnetic refrigeration has been rated by the US Department of Energy as one of the top 10 technologies most likely to replace compression refrigeration.
[0003] Although the efficiency of magnetic refrigeration can theoretically reach 50% to 60% of the efficiency of the Carnot cycle, which is about 30% higher than the traditional compression refrigeration method, in most magnetic refrigeration prototypes, the driving power source of the magnetic field source is different from that of the pump in the magnetic refrigeration system, and there are many solenoid valves and one-way valves in the magnetic refrigeration system, which reduces the efficiency and makes the piping layout complicated;
[0004] In the magnetic refrigeration prototype, the core magnet assembly, the cold storage assembly, and the magnetic refrigeration system are mutually influenced. Generally, a separate driving pump is used to drive the fluid to flow through the magnetized cold storage to absorb the heat released by the magnetic working medium and then flow through the hot end radiator. The fluid that returns to normal temperature flows through the unmagnetized cold storage to absorb the cold energy generated by the magnetic working medium and then flows through the cold end radiator to release the cold energy, thus forming a magnetic refrigeration cycle.
[0005] In previous patent schemes, the magnetic field generator of the magnetic refrigeration device is basically composed of a single permanent magnet or electromagnet. However, the permanent magnet magnetic field generator has the problems of large mass, large driving torque, and thus large power consumption. At the same time, since the air gap of the permanent magnet is small and the magnetic field strength cannot be changed, the flexibility and adjustability of the magnetic field are low, and there are obvious shortcomings when the control requirements are high. The magnetic field generator of a single electromagnet or electromagnetic coil has the problems of high heat generation, high power consumption, large size, low frequency, etc.
[0006] In terms of fluid management systems, previous magnetic refrigeration systems generally use a combination of a pump and a valve system for fluid management. However, this type of solution has problems such as high power consumption and unbalanced hot and cold blowing flows, resulting in low system heat exchange efficiency and reduced system refrigeration capacity.
[0007] In patent CN105849478A, in terms of magnetic circuit design, four permanent magnets and a magnetic yoke form a C-type magnetic circuit. The electromagnetic coil only provides suction to rotate the permanent magnet to a specific position, and the coil itself does not constitute a part of the magnetic circuit; in the flow system, the heat exchange fluid oscillates and circulates between the cold storage device and the cold / heat exchanger, and there is a problem of mixing cold and hot in the pipeline, resulting in loss of cooling capacity.
[0008] Since the magnetic field generators of the magnetic refrigeration devices in the prior art mostly simply use permanent magnets or electromagnetics, and the permanent magnet magnetic field generator has the problems of large size, high driving power consumption, and low frequency, and the electromagnetic magnetic field generator has the problems of high heat generation and low energy consumption, it is impossible to achieve compatibility between the two; the previous method of using a mechanical valve in conjunction with a hydraulic pump has the problem of high power consumption, and the mechanical valve is subjected to an oscillating torque and does not match the flow waveform of the pump, which makes the system have a flow imbalance problem in the two stages of cold and hot blowing, resulting in low heat exchange efficiency and low refrigeration capacity; the various sub-mechanism systems of the previous magnetic refrigeration device (such as a fluid drive mechanism, a magnetic field generator system, a heat exchanger system, etc.) are relatively independent, and each occupies a part of an independent space in structure, and there is no strong power connection in structure, so the overall structure size is large, which is not conducive to miniaturization and other technical problems, so the present invention studies and designs a magnetic refrigeration device. Summary of the invention
[0009] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the problems of large size, high driving power consumption and low frequency of the magnetic field generator of the magnetic refrigeration device in the prior art using a simple permanent magnet magnetic field generator, and the problems of high heat generation and low energy consumption when using a simple electromagnetic magnetic field generator. It is impossible to solve the defects of large size and high heat generation at the same time, thereby providing a magnetic refrigeration device.

[0072] like Figure 1-8 As shown, the present invention provides a magnetic refrigeration device, which includes:
[0073] A stator assembly 100, the stator assembly 100 comprising a yoke outer cylinder 110 and at least two permanent magnets disposed on the inner circumference of the yoke outer cylinder 110, wherein the at least two permanent magnets are spaced apart and distributed along the circumferential direction;

The invention effectively provides an electromagnetic-permanent magnet magnetic field generator, wherein the electromagnetic coil rotor and the permanent magnet stator constitute a Halbach magnetic circuit, and the electromagnetic coil provides a power source for magnetic field conversion and piston movement, so that the strength of the magnetic field air gap is enhanced (while also having the function of enhancing the magnetic field strength), and has adjustable field strength and adjustable frequency functions, and solves the problems of large volume, high driving power consumption and low frequency of a simple permanent magnet magnetic field generator, and the problems of high heat generation and low energy consumption of a simple electromagnetic magnetic field generator, so that the volume is reduced while the heat generation is reduced, the power consumption is reduced, and the energy efficiency of the system is improved.
[0077] The magnetic refrigeration device of the present invention comprises a hybrid magnetic field source component (stator assembly 100, rotor assembly 200), a cold storage component (cold storage component 310, cold storage end cover, cold storage flow divider), an inner curve plunger pump component 400 (pump stator 410, pump rotor 430, plunger 420, pump flow divider 440), a hot end heat exchanger component (hot end heat exchanger 500, hot end heat dissipation cover 501), and a cold end heat exchanger component (cold end heat exchanger 600, cold end heat dissipation cover 601); the magnetic refrigeration device can be used for refrigeration and freezing equipment such as refrigerators and air conditioners, and can be used in series and parallel combinations;
[0078] like Figure 2As shown, the magnetic field source is introduced. The rotor assembly 200 of the magnetic field source is composed of 8 electromagnetic coils 211-218 and 8 rotor poles 201-208; the stator assembly 100 of the magnetic field source is composed of 8 permanent magnets 101-104 and a yoke outer cylinder 110; the first electromagnetic coil 211 of the magnetic field source is wound around the rotor pole 201, and when the first electromagnetic coil 211 is energized, it will form a magnetic circuit with the first permanent magnet 101, thereby generating a magnetic induction intensity greater than 1T at the air gap, providing a magnetic field source for the magnetocaloric effect of the magnetic medium; the pole is composed of high The magnetic permeability material is composed of, for example, electrical pure iron, silicon steel sheet; the cold storage device 310 comprises 8 magnetic working fluid cavities, the first magnetic working fluid cavity 311 and the three separated cold storage devices form a group, and the rest form another group, and the two groups of cold storage devices are always in opposite states, that is, one group enters the magnetic field and the other group leaves the magnetic field; the cold storage devices are separated by partitions; the electromagnetic coils 211, 213, 215, 217 form a group L1, and the coils 212, 214, 216, 218 form another group L2, and the two groups of coils are alternately connected to direct current; Figure 2 As shown, when power is turned on, the corresponding rotor poles 201, 203, 205, 207 will be magnetized, and torque will be generated under the attraction of the permanent magnets 101, 102, 103, 104 to rotate the rotor assembly 200 accordingly.

Taking the second magnetic working fluid cavity 312 as an example, in order to make it have two stages of magnetization and demagnetization, the first electromagnetic coil 211 is first energized so that the rotor assembly 200 drives the second magnetic working fluid cavity 312 to rotate 45°. At this time, the second magnetic working fluid cavity 312 is completely covered by the second permanent magnet 102. At this stage, the second magnetic working fluid cavity 312 is in the magnetization stage. Then the second electromagnetic coil 212 is powered off, and the first electromagnetic coil 211 is powered on, thereby driving the second magnetic working fluid cavity 312 to continue to rotate 45°. At this time, the second magnetic working fluid cavity 312 completely leaves the magnetic field, completing a demagnetization process.

This is the preferred arrangement form of the plurality of electromagnetic coils of the present invention. By forming a full circle, the electromagnetic coils can cut the magnetic lines of force between the permanent magnets distributed at intervals when rotating, which is achieved by alternating current (i.e., direct current is passed through the electromagnetic coils opposite to the permanent magnets, and no current is passed through the electromagnetic coils not opposite to each other), thereby generating an alternating magnetic field to effectively drive the coil rotor to rotate. At the same time, the number of magnetic working fluid chambers is consistent with the electromagnetic coils and forms a full circle, which can produce intermittent magnetization and demagnetization of the magnetic working fluid chambers, and magnetic heating and magnetic cooling occur in the two adjacent magnetic working fluid chambers respectively. The partition effectively seals the adjacent magnetic working fluid chambers so that they work independently.

This is the preferred arrangement form of the plurality of permanent magnets of the present invention, so that they are evenly distributed in the circumference, the central angle of the gap between the permanent magnets is equal to the central angle of the permanent magnet, and the central angle of each electromagnetic coil is equal to the permanent magnet, and the central angle of the magnetic working fluid cavity is equal to the permanent magnet. When the coil and the magnetic working fluid cavity rotate, a uniform magnetic field is generated between them and the permanent magnet, and the magnetization intensity and demagnetization intensity are equal, so that the magnetic refrigeration device can output continuous and uniform heat or cold to the outside, ensuring the stability and reliability of the system.

[0130] In order to realize the cold and hot end diversion function, a pump diverter is used. Figure 7a-7bDescription: The third heat channel 442 of the pump diverter 440 is connected to the hot end heat exchanger 500 through a pipeline. The pump diverter 440 is connected to the rotating shaft 700 through a bearing and maintains a constant position, thereby ensuring that the hot end radiator does not rotate with the shaft; the heat blocking mechanism 446 has a total of 4, presenting a 45° arc, and alternately blocks the sixth channel 431 as the pump rotor rotates, so that the four plungers (the second plunger 422, the fourth plunger 424, the sixth plunger 426, and the eighth plunger 428) at 90° relative to each other can converge into the third hot channel 442 at the same time; the cold blocking mechanism 445 presents a 45° arc, and the four are arranged at 90° relative to each other.

[0134] The magnetic refrigeration system has a flow diagram as follows Figure 8 , now combined Figure 8 To explain:
[0135] The hot end radiator 500 and the cold end radiator 600 are respectively fixed to the hot end heat dissipation cover 501 and the cold end heat dissipation cover 601; the fluid flows through the pipeline through the pump 400 to reach the first cold channel 342, and then flows through the demagnetization bed (the second magnetic working fluid cavity 312). At this time, the fluid temperature becomes low, and reaches the cold end heat exchanger 600 through the second cold channel 352. The fluid exchanges the cold and the temperature returns to normal temperature; the outside of the pipeline is wrapped with thermal insulation materials such as thermal insulation cotton; the normal temperature fluid then passes through the second hot channel 351 and flows through the magnetization bed (the first magnetic working fluid cavity 311), absorbs the heat generated by the magnetic working fluid, and then exchanges heat with the hot end heat exchanger 500 through the first hot channel 341 to return to normal temperature. Finally, the fluid flows into the plunger to complete a magnetic refrigeration cycle.
[0136] The present invention is:
[0137] 1. Provide an electromagnetic-permanent magnetic hybrid magnetic field generator, so that the strength of the magnetic field air gap is enhanced, and has adjustable field strength and adjustable frequency functions, enhancing system flexibility;
[0138] 2. The magnetic field subsystem and the fluid drive subsystem are structurally coupled so that the magnetic field waveform and the flow waveform can be synchronously matched, making the system flow more balanced and avoiding fluid impact of the mechanical valve;
[0139] 3. The electromagnetic coil of the magnetic field generator is also used to drive the fluid drive mechanism, eliminating the drive pump and drive motor, greatly reducing the power consumption of the whole machine and making the whole machine structure more compact and miniaturized;
[0140] The present invention solves the following technical problems
[0141] 1. The magnetic field generators of previous magnetic refrigeration devices mostly use permanent magnets or electromagnetics. The permanent magnet magnetic field generator has the problems of large size, high driving power consumption and low frequency, while the electromagnetic magnetic field generator has the problems of high heat generation and low energy consumption.
[0142] 2. In the past, the combination of mechanical valve and hydraulic pump had high power consumption. In addition, the mechanical valve was subjected to oscillating torque and did not match the flow waveform of the pump, which caused flow imbalance in the system during the hot and cold blowing stages, resulting in low heat exchange efficiency and low refrigeration capacity.
[0143] 3. In the past, the various sub-systems of magnetic refrigeration devices (such as fluid drive mechanism, magnetic field generator system, heat exchanger system, etc.) were relatively independent, each occupying a part of independent space in structure, and there was no strong dynamic connection in structure, so the overall structure size was large, which was not conducive to miniaturization.
[0144] The magnetic field source, regenerator flow path unit and control strategy provided by the present invention have the following beneficial effects:
[0145] 1. Combine the two magnetic field generation methods of electromagnetic field and permanent magnetic field to provide an electromagnetic-permanent magnetic field generator, which strengthens the strength of the magnetic field air gap and has adjustable field strength and frequency functions. It solves the problems of high power consumption of permanent magnet type and low energy efficiency of electromagnetic type;
[0146] 2. Due to the structural consistency coupling between the magnetic field subsystem and the fluid drive subsystem, the magnetic field waveform and the flow waveform can be well synchronized, solving the problem of unbalanced cold and hot blow flow and the problem of large pressure shock when switching the previous mechanical valve;
[0147] 3. The electromagnetic coil can also provide driving power for the piston mechanism, eliminating the driving motor of the previous magnetic refrigeration device, so that the power consumption of the whole machine is greatly reduced and the structure is more compact.
