Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of energy storage, and in particular relates to a flow-type solid particle electromagnetic heating device. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of society and the economy, the proportion of renewable energy in the overall energy system continues to expand. However, electricity generated by clean energy sources such as wind and solar energy is extremely volatile. Therefore, how to smooth out irregular power fluctuations and fill valleys has become a major challenge facing the current power grid. In recent years, with the continuous development of energy storage technology, an increasing number of energy storage materials have been used to regulate power fluctuations. Among them, solid particles have gradually become a research hotspot due to their low cost and sustained stability.

[0003] Solid particles have many advantages as a new type of energy storage material. For example, solid particles can enhance and improve existing molten salt technology, because solid particles (such as sand) remain inert and do not undergo chemical reactions at operating temperatures as high as 900°C and have very low costs. Compared with energy storage materials such as steam and hot oil, solid particles have a higher specific heat capacity and exhibit good heat storage performance. However, the current development of electricity-solid particle heat storage technology also faces many challenges, such as how to convert excess electricity into heat energy and effectively transfer it to solid particles, and how to ensure that the temperature of the particles reaches the set requirements.

[0004] Chinese invention patent CN114777545A discloses a solid particle heat storage device with integrated heat storage and exchange. The system uses an electric heating device at the bottom to heat the particles and achieves the purpose of heat exchange between the solid and other media through coils embedded in the particles. However, since the electric heating device is at the bottom of the entire device, the heating efficiency is low.

[0005] Chinese invention patent CN111075668A discloses an electricity storage system that uses solid particles to store heat. The system converts surplus electricity into thermal energy in solid particles for storage. When electricity is needed externally, the high-temperature solid particles are heat-exchanged with other low-temperature, high-pressure media to become a high-temperature, high-pressure working fluid for power generation, completing the electricity-heat-electricity conversion process. However, the electricity-heat conversion efficiency of the entire system is low.

[0006] Chinese invention patent CN114963819A discloses a fluidized bed heat exchange system and heat exchanger for integrated thermal storage and power generation. This system uses electric heating to heat solid particles and then exchanges heat with carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide is then used to enter a turbine device to generate electricity. However, the overall device still does not fundamentally solve the problem of low electricity-to-particle heat energy conversion efficiency.

[0007] Chinese invention patent CN113048658A discloses a continuously operating fluidized bed solar particle heat absorption and storage system. The system completes the conversion of solar energy into particle internal energy by fluidizing and transporting solid particles. However, the internal particle flow and heat exchange are not uniform, making it difficult to achieve the effect of uniform particle temperature rise.

[0008] In summary, existing solid particle heat storage systems for solar or electrical energy all suffer from uneven heat transfer and low efficiency. Therefore, how to control the temperature of the solid particles and improve the heat transfer efficiency has become a research focus. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0038] The present invention will be further described and illustrated below in conjunction with specific embodiments. The embodiments are merely illustrative of the present disclosure and do not limit its scope. The technical features of the various embodiments of the present invention may be combined accordingly, provided that there is no conflict between them.

[0039] This invention combines solid particles with a traditional finned heat exchanger to improve heat exchange efficiency between the particles and the tube wall. Furthermore, a plow-type stirring device is introduced, allowing the particles within the heat exchange tube to migrate inward and outward, ensuring that all particles exchange heat with the outer wall, achieving a uniform temperature increase. Finally, a star-shaped feeder at the bottom of the heat exchange tube controls the particle flow rate, ensuring that the particles reach a set temperature before being discharged uniformly.

[0040] One of the objectives of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for efficiently converting excess electricity during off-peak periods into energy within solid particles, thereby achieving peak-shaving and valley-filling. The apparatus comprises: a feed hopper 1, an electromagnetic heating tube 2, a stirring shaft 3, and a controllable-speed discharge hopper 4. The feed hopper 1 is connected to the electromagnetic heating tube 2. Low-temperature solid particles flow downward by gravity through the feed hopper 1 into the interior of the electromagnetic heating tube 2. The solid particles exchange heat with the high-temperature tube wall of the electromagnetic heating tube 2, rapidly heating the low-temperature solid particles near the tube wall. The stirring shaft 3 is installed within the electromagnetic heating tube 2. When the stirring shaft 3 is turned on, the heated particles near the tube wall are rotated into the interior of the tube bundle, and the low-temperature particles originally in the tube bundle are exchanged to the area near the tube wall for heating. The controllable-speed discharge hopper 4 is connected to the outlet of the electromagnetic heating tube 2. When the solid particles reach the target temperature, the controllable-speed discharge hopper 4 is turned on to discharge the solid particles to a heat user 5. The solid particles that have completed the heat exchange are then transferred back to the feed hopper 1 to initiate the next charging and discharging process.

[0041] Feed hopper 1 primarily comprises a conveyor belt 1-1, an inclined feed baffle 1-2, a vibrating screen 1-3, fixing bolts, a rigid spring, and a motor. The conveyor belt 1-1 and inclined feed baffle 1-2 form the main frame of feed hopper 1. Vibrating screen 1-3 is secured to inclined feed baffle 1-2 via fixing bolts, at a distance from its bottom. Vibrating screen 1-3 is a quadrilateral with a rigid spring fixed to each corner of its lower surface. The motor powers vibrating screen 1-3. Low-temperature solid particles pass through conveyor belt 1-1 and enter the entrance of inclined baffle 1-2. The particles then pass through vibrating screen 1-3 to prevent accumulation and continuously enter the entrance of electromagnetic heating tube bundle 2.

[0042] The electromagnetic heating tube 2 primarily comprises an electromagnetic heating wrap 2-1, heating fins 2-2, a particle inlet 2-3, a particle outlet 2-4, a rotary bearing 2-5, and a support bracket 2-6. The electromagnetic heating wrap 2-1 is connected to the power grid to absorb excess electricity during low-power periods and is evenly wrapped around the outside of the tube wall to heat it. The heating fins 2-2 are arranged within the tube bundle and come in two types: triangular and rectangular. Four to eight fins are arranged in groups. The particle inlet 2-3 is connected to the outlet of the feed hopper 1, while the particle outlet 2-4 is connected to the inlet of the speed-controlled discharge hopper 4. One end of the support bracket 2-6 is welded to the bottom of the electromagnetic heating tube 2, and the other end is connected to the rotary bearing 2-5. The rotary bearing 2-5 is connected to the stirring shaft 3, providing support while allowing the shaft to rotate freely.

[0043] The rotating shaft 3 primarily comprises an adjustable motor 3-1, a rotating shaft 3-2, and stirring paddles 3-3. The adjustable motor 3-1 is connected to the rotating shaft 3-2 to control its speed. Two to six sets of stirring paddles 3-3 are mounted on the rotating shaft 3-2. The mounting positions of the stirring paddles 3-3 do not overlap with the arrangement of the heating fins 2-2 to prevent potential collisions between the heating fins 2-2 and the stirring paddles 3-3. The portion of the rotating shaft 3-2 where the stirring paddles 3-3 are not mounted serves as an optical axis.

[0044] like Figure 2 As shown, the stirring paddle 3-3 can be divided into two forms. The first is the first stirring paddle, which is used to move the high-temperature particles on the side of the tube wall to the center of the tube. Its shape is as follows: Figure 2 As shown in the upper left part, the first stirring paddle has a curved blade, and the blade is spot-welded to the rotating shaft with a crossbar. The crossbar of the first stirring paddle is longer, and the portion below the welding point of the blade of the first stirring paddle is narrower and closer to the rotating shaft, while the portion above the welding point is wider and farther away from the rotating shaft. The angle between the blade of the first stirring paddle and the crossbar is 100-150°. The second type is the second stirring paddle, which is used to move particles in the center of the tube to the side of the tube wall. Its shape is as follows: Figure 2 As shown in the upper right corner, the second stirring paddle's stirring blade is also curved, spot-welded to the rotating shaft by a crossbar. The crossbar is shorter, narrower below the weld point and farther from the rotating shaft, while wider above the weld point and closer to the shaft. The angle between the blade and the crossbar is 50-80°. The diameter of the blades of the first and second stirring paddles is 70-90% of the inner diameter of the electromagnetic heating tube 2. An annular weld ring 3-3-3 connects the blades to the rotating shaft 3-2.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, in a specific embodiment, the stirring shaft 3 includes multiple stirring sections, and the arrangement intervals of the stirring sections and the heating fin groups are alternately arranged along the height direction; the stirring paddles installed in the same stirring section are exactly the same in form, and the stirring paddles installed in adjacent stirring sections are different in form.

[0046] The controllable-speed discharge hopper 4 primarily comprises a variable-speed motor 4-1, a star-shaped feeder 4-2, a vibrating screen 4-3, fixing bolts, a rigid spring, and an inclined discharge baffle 4-6. The variable-speed motor 4-1 adjusts the speed of the star-shaped feeder 4-2 to ensure optimal discharge of solid particles. The vibrating screen 4-3 is secured to the inclined discharge baffle 4-6 via fixing bolts and is positioned a certain distance from the bottom of the inclined feed baffle 4-6. The vibrating screen 4-3 is quadrilateral, with a rigid spring fixed to each corner of its lower surface to prevent particles from accumulating at the bottom of the tube bundle.

[0047] The intelligent control system 6 mainly includes: data acquisition card 6-1, data acquisition line 6-2, computer 6-3, and high temperature resistant thermocouple group. The high temperature resistant thermocouple group is respectively arranged in the feed hopper 1, electromagnetic heating tube 2 and controllable speed discharge hopper 4. The high temperature resistant thermocouple group at each position includes multiple high temperature resistant thermocouples, which respectively measure the particle temperature at the center, middle and near the wall. Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, high-temperature thermocouple A6-4-1 is located on conveyor belt 1-1 and is used to detect the temperature of solid particles on conveyor belt 1-1 that have completed heat exchange. Similarly, high-temperature thermocouples B6-4-2, C6-4-3, and D6-4-4 are located at different locations in the device to measure the temperature of the center, middle, and near the wall of the particles at different locations. The high-temperature thermocouples monitor the particle temperature and transmit it to data acquisition card 6-1 via data acquisition line 6-2. The data is then transferred to the software in computer 6-3 for data processing.

[0048] Before the device is turned on, the entire device is first purged with cold air to remove any debris. Particle outlet 2-4 is then closed, and solid particles are poured onto conveyor belt 1-1. These particles pass through conveyor belt 1-1 and enter inclined feed baffle 1-2. They then pass through vibrating screen 1-3 and continuously enter electromagnetic heating tube bundle 2. Once the tubes have filled with solid particles, the conveyor belt is stopped, and the electromagnetic heating wrap 2-1 is powered on to electromagnetically heat the tube walls. Once the tube walls reach 800°C, rotating shaft 3 is activated, and data from each high-temperature-resistant thermocouple 6-4 is monitored. When the data collected by the three thermocouples at the bottom of the tube bundle is consistent and meets the requirements of heat user 5, particle outlet 2-4 is opened, and the particles pass through vibrating screen 4-3 and enter the inclined discharge baffle 4-6 into star feeder 4-2. The star feeder begins operating under the control of variable speed motor 4-1 controlled by computer 6-3 and begins feeding heat user 5.

[0049] After receiving the high-temperature pellets, heat user 5 can store or directly utilize them, depending on the user's selected function. When the heat user selects temporary storage, the star-shaped feeder 4-2 begins discharging while continuing to pour material onto conveyor belt 1-1. The pellets are continuously heated and collected, completing the conversion of electrical energy into pellet internal energy. When the heat user 5 selects direct utilization, the high-temperature pellets enter the heat exchanger after entering the heat user 5 and exchange heat energy with the low-temperature medium. After the heat exchange, the low-temperature pellets are discharged onto conveyor belt 1-1 and then transported to the feed hopper 1, completing the continuous conversion of electrical energy into pellet internal energy.

[0050] The temperature of all measuring points is monitored in real time by high-temperature resistant thermocouples. When the temperatures of the three thermocouples arranged at the same position in the tube bundle are uneven, the speed of the rotating shaft is increased by adjusting the variable speed motor to make the temperature inside the tube bundle uniform. When the outlet particle temperature does not meet the heat user's requirements, the speed of the star feeder is reduced or increased to control the particle temperature, thus completing the temperature self-regulation process.

[0051] The above-described embodiments merely illustrate several implementations of the present invention, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. Persons skilled in the art will readily appreciate that variations and modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention, all of which fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

10. A method for electromagnetically heating flowing solid particles based on the device of claim 1, characterized in that: The steps include: When the power is low, the electromagnetic heating tube (2) is heated by electricity; the low-temperature particles enter the feed hopper (1) via a conveyor belt, and a feed particle vibration device is provided in the feed hopper (1) to prevent particle accumulation; Low-temperature particles enter the electromagnetic heating tube (2), which is internally provided with rectangular or triangular fins for expanding the high-temperature surface inside the tube. The low-temperature particles close to the high-temperature surface inside the tube are in full contact with the tube wall and the fins, and the temperature of these particles rises rapidly. At this time, the particles continue to flow downward. When the particles pass through the stirring section, the second stirring paddle causes the heated particles previously close to the tube wall to rotate into the central area of ​​the tube, and the first stirring paddle causes the particles at the center of the tube to be rotated to the outer periphery of the tube wall, and to be in continuous contact with the high-temperature wall surface, and the temperature rises rapidly. The fin area and stirring section are intermittently provided throughout the tube, coupling the exchange position of the particles with efficient heat transfer, thereby achieving a rapid heating effect of the particles. The high-temperature particles eventually enter the controllable-speed discharging hopper (4), which is provided with a particle vibration device to prevent particle accumulation, and a star-shaped feeder (4-2) is provided in the controllable-speed discharging hopper (4) to adjust the solid particle discharging speed; The high-temperature solid particles after discharge supply heat to heat users or store heat. After the heat is released, the solid particles are transported to the feed hopper (1) by a conveyor belt to realize the circulation of the solid particles. The temperature of all measuring points is monitored in real time by a high-temperature resistant thermocouple group. When the temperature of the three thermocouples arranged at the same position in the electromagnetic heating tube is uneven, the stirring speed is increased to make the temperature in the tube bundle uniform. When the outlet particle temperature does not meet the heat user's requirements, the speed of the star feeder is adjusted to change the discharge speed and control the particle temperature, thus completing the temperature self-regulation process.
