DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0032] The two embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0033] First embodiment:
[0034] Figures 1-2 An engine exhaust pipe exhaust waste heat recycling device is shown, wherein a represents the exhaust pipe, b represents the water jacket, including the water jacket sleeved outside the exhaust pipe, the variable-diameter supercharger communicated with the water jacket, the steam turbine connected with the outlet end of the variable-diameter supercharger through the air guide pipe, and the generator connected with the output shaft of the steam turbine, the generator is connected with the power battery through the inverter unit, the water jacket is filled with low-boiling point medium, the exhaust outlet end of the steam turbine is connected with the condenser through the liquid guide pipe, the condenser is connected with the water storage pot through the liquid guide pipe, the water storage pot and the water jacket are connected with each other and communicated through the liquid guide pipe, and the one-way valve is installed on the liquid guide pipe between the water storage pot and the water jacket;
[0035] Among them, the low-boiling point medium is one of ethanol, acetone and carbon disulfide.
[0036] As Figures 3-4 , the water jacket and the variable-diameter supercharger are connected and communicated through the liquid-to-gas pipeline, the liquid-to-gas pipeline includes the air inlet section 12 connected and communicated with the water jacket, the air outlet section 11 connected and communicated with the variable-diameter supercharger, and the pre-expanding cylinder connected between the air inlet section 12 and the air outlet section 11, the outer end of the air inlet section 12 is provided with the outer sleeve 3, a plurality of uniformly distributed support rods 2 are connected between the outer sleeve 3 and the air inlet section 12, through the setting of the liquid-to-gas pipeline, the speed of the gas formed by the low-boiling point medium can be preliminarily improved before entering the supercharger, and then the initial speed of the gas entering the supercharger is higher, the speed after supercharging is higher, the impact on the steam turbine is higher, the speed is faster, and the power generation efficiency is effectively improved.
[0037] The inner diameter of the air outlet section 11 is smaller than the inner diameter of the air inlet section 12, and both are made of high-temperature-resistant hard material, so that the speed of the gas formed by the low-boiling point medium can be preliminarily accelerated after entering the liquid-to-gas pipeline.
[0038] As Figures 5-6 , the pre-diameter expansion cylinder includes an outer expansion section 13 fixedly connected with the gas outlet section 11 and an outer expansion section 14 fixedly connected with the gas inlet section 12, the ends of the outer expansion section 13 and the outer expansion section 14 close to each other, the outer expansion section 14 is made of high-temperature-resistant elastic sealing material, which can adapt to the expansion of the plurality of outer expansion pieces 131, and further increase the inner diameter of the pre-diameter expansion cylinder close to the gas inlet section 12, effectively increase the inner diameter difference at the gas outlet section 11, facilitate the preliminary pressurization of the gas when passing through the place, and accelerate the speed. The outer expansion section 13 includes a plurality of uniformly distributed outer expansion pieces 131 and a plurality of connecting piece layers 132 respectively fixedly connected between adjacent two outer expansion pieces 131, both ends of the outer expansion piece 131 and the connecting piece layer 132 are respectively sealed and fixed with the adjacent gas outlet section 11 and the outer expansion section 14, effectively ensuring the sealing of the whole pre-diameter expansion cylinder, preventing the low-boiling-point medium from flowing out when passing through it, and facilitating continuous recycling.
[0039] The outer expansion piece 131 is made of elastic metal material, so that under the pressure of the gas itself, the outer expansion piece 131 is connected with the gas outlet section 11 as a fulcrum end, the other end can be expanded under the extrusion, and the outer expansion section 14 is adaptively expanded, facilitating the realization of the inner diameter difference between the pre-diameter expansion cylinder and the gas outlet section 11. The connecting piece layer 132 is made of sealing flexible material, which can limit the maximum expansion range of the pre-diameter expansion cylinder and protect the outer expansion section 14 from excessive expansion.
[0040] A plurality of magnetic sheets corresponding to the plurality of outer expansion pieces 131 are fixedly embedded in the outer protective cylinder 3, and an iron sheet is fixedly embedded in the outer end of each outer expansion piece 131 close to the outer expansion section 14, so that after the outer expansion piece 131 is expanded under the action of gas pressure, the end of the outer expansion piece 131 close to the inner wall of the outer protective cylinder 3 generates mutual adsorption force, which can assist the expansion effect of the gas pressure, maintain the stability of the pre-diameter expansion cylinder after expansion, and make the whole power generation process relatively stable. Figure 7 The iron sheet is wrapped with a sponge pad 4, and the outer edge of the outer expansion section 13 close to the outer expansion section 14 abuts against the inner wall of the outer protective cylinder 3 after the connecting piece layer 132 is fully stretched, and the sponge pad 4 is used to protect the contact between the two from being damaged due to extrusion and friction.
[0041] It is worth noting that the adsorption force between the magnetic sheet and the iron sheet is less than the force for restoring the deformation of the corresponding connecting piece layer 132 and the outer expansion section 14, so that the pre-diameter expansion cylinder can reset and not easily maintain the expanded state for a long time under the support of the gas pressure.
[0042] In the engine exhaust pipe exhaust heat recovery device, the low boiling point medium is changed in state by the high temperature of the exhaust pipe, so as to drive the steam turbine to rotate and drive the generator to generate electricity. Compared with the prior art, the low boiling point medium does not need to be controlled at low temperature, and only needs to be maintained at a temperature below the boiling point during gas-liquid conversion, so that the investment cost is low. And through the setting of the liquid-gas pipeline, the initial speed of the gas can be greatly improved, so that the steam turbine can maintain high-speed rotation, effectively ensuring high power generation efficiency.
[0043] The second embodiment is:
[0044] The embodiment adds the following content on the basis of the first embodiment, and the remaining parts remain the same as the first embodiment.
[0045] Please refer to Figure 8 The outer end of the support rod 2 is fixedly connected with a limiting rod 5, and the outer end of the gas outlet section 11 is fixedly connected with an annular support plate 21. A plurality of limiting rods 5 movably penetrate the annular support plate 21, so that a large vibration force is generated during automobile driving or when gas passes through the place. The limiting rod 5 can effectively limit the pre-expanding cylinder and the gas outlet section 11 connected thereto from being easily displaced in a large range in the radial direction due to vibration, thereby effectively maintaining the stability of the liquid-gas pipeline as a whole, preventing the interface from loosening due to vibration, and preventing the low boiling point medium from leaking and losing.
[0046] As Figure 9 The limiting rod 5 includes a micro-rod 51 fixed with the outer cylinder 3, a fixed rod 52 fixedly connected to the upper end of the micro-rod 51, and a limiting ring 53 fixedly connected to the end of the fixed rod 52. The fixed rod 52 and the limiting ring 53 are located on the side of the annular support plate 21 away from the gas inlet section 12. The micro-rod 51 is of elastic structure, and the fixed rod 52 is of hard structure, so that the micro-rod 51 penetrating the annular support plate 21 is elastic, and the limiting rod 5 cannot completely limit the position of the pre-expanding cylinder. It can deform within a certain amplitude with vibration, thereby playing a certain buffering effect. When the vibration amplitude is too large, the micro-rod 51 deforms and moves on the annular support plate 21. When the hard fixed rod 52 enters the annular support plate 21, the annular support plate 21 and the limiting rod 5 are in hard contact, thereby making the limiting effect on the pre-expanding cylinder better. At the same time, the limiting ring 53 can effectively limit the transverse displacement amplitude of the pre-expanding cylinder.
[0047] The third embodiment is:
[0048] The embodiment adds the following content on the basis of the second embodiment, and the remaining parts remain the same as the second embodiment.
[0049] As Figures 10-11, the upper end of the micro-rod 51 is drilled with a limited shape hole, and two groups of opposite measuring rows are fixedly connected in the limited shape hole, the measuring row includes a plurality of deflection hard sheets 6 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the limited shape hole, the plurality of deflection hard sheets 6 on the two measuring rows are distributed in cross, such as Figure 11 , the outer end of the deflection hard sheet 6 is not in contact with the inner wall of the limited shape hole, the distance between the adjacent and crossed two deflection hard sheets 6 is not greater than the thickness of the deflection hard sheet 6, when vibrating, the elastic micro-rod 51 is bent and deformed with the pre-diameter expansion cylinder, when it is bent, the deflection hard sheets 6 at the bending position are in contact with each other, and then the bending amplitude of the micro-rod 51 is limited, so as to ensure that the moving amplitude of the pre-diameter expansion cylinder is not easy to be too large when vibrating, thereby effectively ensuring the stability.
[0050] In summary, the high temperature of the exhaust pipe causes the low boiling point medium to change the state of the cycle, thereby blowing the steam turbine to rotate and driving the generator to generate electricity. Compared with the prior art, the low boiling point medium does not need to be controlled at low temperature, and only needs to be maintained at a temperature below the boiling point when it is converted from liquid to gas, so that the investment cost is low. And through the setting of the liquid-gas conversion pipeline, the initial speed of the gas can be greatly improved, so that the steam turbine can maintain high-speed rotation, effectively ensuring high-efficiency power generation efficiency. In addition, the setting of the limiting rod 5 can limit the stability of the pre-diameter expansion cylinder to a certain extent, so that it is not easy to be displaced in a large range due to the vibration caused by the driving of the automobile or the impact of the gas, thereby effectively maintaining the stability of the liquid-gas conversion pipeline as a whole, preventing the low boiling point medium from being accidentally leaked and lost, and effectively maintaining efficient and stable power generation.
[0051] In combination with the current actual demand, the above-mentioned embodiments adopted by the present application do not limit the protection scope, various changes within the knowledge range of those skilled in the art without departing from the concept of the present application still fall within the protection scope of the present application.
