TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of geothermal energy in renewable energy, and particularly relates to an underground ground-buried pipe system capable of realizing multiple heat extraction depths. BACKGROUND
[0002] Geothermal energy generally has the advantages of wide distribution and large reserves, and currently there are many suitable utilization methods. Among them, ground source heat pump is a common form of using geothermal energy to supply cooling and heating for buildings. The ground-buried pipe stores the heat of the building into the soil in summer, and extracts the heat from the soil to supply the building in winter. As a kind of air conditioning system using geothermal energy, ground source heat pump has developed for several decades in the world. In particular, shallow ground source heat pump has relatively mature technical specifications, engineering projects and the like. These projects have made an indelible contribution to energy saving. In addition, the middle-deep ground source heat pump can utilize deeper geothermal energy, and its efficiency is higher than that of the traditional shallow ground source heat pump. In order to further utilize geothermal energy, related experiments and researches of the middle-deep ground source heat pump are also in orderly progress. The middle-deep ground-buried pipe is not suitable for supplying cooling for buildings, so generally the middle-deep ground source heat pump system can only be in an idle state during the cooling period. If the underground ground-buried pipe can switch multiple heat extraction depths, it can provide multiple operation modes, thereby meeting different cooling and heating load demands of the building. At the same time, the middle-deep ground-buried pipe extracts the cold quantity stored in the shallow soil during the heating period, further alleviates the soil thermal imbalance of the ground source heat pump, and makes the long-period operation of the ground source heat pump system more stable.
[0003] Through the above analysis, the problems and defects of the prior art are that:
[0004] The middle-deep ground-buried pipe is not suitable for supplying cooling for buildings, so generally the middle-deep ground source heat pump system can only be in an idle state during the cooling period. SUMMARY

[0031] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present application more clear and explicit, the present application is further described in detail below in combination with embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and do not limit the present application.
[0032] As shown in Figure 1 , the underground ground pipe system provided by the embodiment of the present application includes:
[0033] The ground pipe outer pipe 1, the ground pipe center fixed pipe 2, the ground pipe center rotating pipe 3, the center fixed pipe hole 4 and the center rotating pipe hole 5. The whole ground pipe heat exchanger adopts a double-pipe structure, and the inner pipe is composed of the closely fitted ground pipe center fixed pipe 2 and the ground pipe center rotating pipe 3. The center fixed pipe hole 4 and the center rotating pipe hole 5 are arranged on the side of the ground pipe center fixed pipe 2 and the ground pipe center rotating pipe 3 in different arrangement forms.
[0034] The underground ground pipe heat exchanger structure provided by the embodiment of the present application is a double-pipe structure. The ground pipe outer pipe 1 is located at the relatively outermost side. The inner pipe is composed of the closely fitted ground pipe center fixed pipe 2 and the ground pipe center rotating pipe 3. The ground pipe center fixed pipe 2 is located at the relatively outer side, and the ground pipe center rotating pipe 3 is located at the relatively inner side. The bottom surfaces of the two pipes are coincident and closed. The side surfaces have through holes, which are the center fixed pipe hole 4 and the center rotating pipe hole 5, respectively.
[0035] The underground ground pipe system adopts an innovative double-pipe structure to achieve the ability to extract heat at different depths. The following is the detailed working principle of the system:
[0036] The ground pipe outer pipe 1: as the outermost protective layer, it is located at the outermost side of the whole ground pipe system, protecting the internal structure from the direct influence of the external environment.
[0037] The ground pipe center fixed pipe 2: closely fitted to the inner side of the outer pipe, it serves as the main heat transfer channel and has fixed hole positions (center fixed pipe holes 4) for heat exchange.
[0038] The ground pipe center rotating pipe 3: located inside the center fixed pipe, it can be finely adjusted or rotated relative to the center fixed pipe to change the alignment of the hole positions (center rotating pipe holes 5), thereby adjusting the heat exchange efficiency.
[0039] Heat exchange adjustment: The center fixed pipe and the center rotating pipe of the ground buried pipe system are designed as two parts that can rotate relative to each other. By adjusting the relative position between the two parts, the alignment between the center fixed pipe hole 4 and the center rotating pipe hole 5 can be changed. This design allows the heat exchange area and the depth of heat exchange to be adjusted as needed, achieving more flexible heat control.
[0040] Heat energy extraction: The temperature of the ground increases with depth. By selecting different depth combinations of hole arrangements, the system can maximize the use of the temperature difference at a specific depth, thereby improving heat efficiency. When the heat medium (such as water or other fluids) flows through the ground buried pipe system, it will absorb or release heat energy from the surrounding soil according to the arrangement and alignment of the center fixed pipe hole and the center rotating pipe hole.
[0041] Heat efficiency optimization: By precisely controlling the rotation of the center rotating pipe, precise regulation of the heat exchange area can be achieved. In cases where less heat is needed, the alignment of the holes can be reduced to reduce the heat exchange area; conversely, the alignment of the holes can be increased to expand the heat exchange area.
[0042] System closure and safety: The overlapping closure design of the two pipe bottoms ensures the integrity and sealing of the system, preventing leakage of the heat medium while maintaining heat exchange efficiency.
[0043] Through this structure and working mechanism, the underground ground buried pipe system not only can adjust the heat extraction depth and efficiency according to the season or actual demand, but also can improve the overall energy utilization rate of the system, which is difficult to achieve in traditional geothermal heat extraction systems. This design greatly improves the adaptability and efficiency of geothermal energy and has important practical significance for variable geothermal application environments.
[0044] As shown in Figure 2 , the center fixed pipe hole 4 and the center rotating pipe hole 5 have the same number of holes at different depths, but the arrangement is different. On the side surface of the ground buried pipe center rotating pipe 3, the center rotating pipe hole 5 is staggered in the vertical direction and the interval is not necessarily the same, and it is coincident in the horizontal direction and the interval is the same; on the side surface of the ground buried pipe center fixed pipe 2, the center fixed pipe hole 4 is staggered in the vertical direction and the interval is not necessarily the same, and it is staggered in the horizontal direction and the interval is the same. By rotating the ground buried pipe center rotating pipe 3 clockwise, the holes at specific depth positions on the ground buried pipe center fixed pipe 2 and the ground buried pipe center rotating pipe 3 can be one-to-one corresponding, so that the fluid completes the circulation through the holes at a specific depth, while the holes at other depth positions are in a closed state and the fluid cannot pass through. For example, in the heating period, take the third depth from shallow to deep in the vertical direction, and the ground buried pipe operation is as shown in Figure 3 , Figure 4 . The fluid 6 flows into the heat exchanger from the outer pipe 1 of the ground buried pipe, passes through the center fixed pipe 4 and the center rotating pipe hole 5 at the third depth from shallow to deep in the vertical direction in turn, enters the inner pipe and flows out upward to complete the circulation.
[0045] II. Application Examples. In order to prove the creativity and technical value of the technical solutions of the present application, this part is the application examples of the specific products or related technologies of the technical solutions of the claims. Ground source heat pump has experienced years of accumulation and development in the field of heating and cooling. Practice has proved that it is feasible to use geothermal energy to provide the required heat or cold for buildings. Shallow ground heat exchanger has been widely used in practical engineering, and the related projects of medium-deep ground heat exchanger are also steadily advancing and developing. The present application is based on the medium-deep ground heat exchanger technology, and is an innovative solution to further realize the flexible application of multiple heat extraction depths. Through the implementation of the present application, it is expected to further improve the operation efficiency and stability of the ground source heat pump system, and provide a more reliable and efficient solution for building heating and cooling.
[0046] III. Effects of Embodiments. The traditional medium-deep ground heat exchanger is usually only operated during the heating period because the deep soil temperature it contacts is relatively high, and it is idle during the cooling period. During the heating period, the ground source heat pump system extracts heat from the soil through the medium-deep ground heat exchanger to meet the heat load demand of the building user. However, during the long-term operation, the soil temperature will gradually decrease due to the continuous extraction of heat from the soil, which will lead to a decrease in system efficiency.
[0047] If the flexible switching of the heat extraction depth of the ground heat exchanger can be realized, so that it can also be effectively operated during the cooling period, then the ground source heat pump system can inject heat into the soil through the ground heat exchanger during the cooling period. In this way, not only the use efficiency of the ground heat exchanger can be improved, but also the problem of system efficiency reduction caused by soil temperature decrease can be effectively alleviated, which provides a strong guarantee for the long-term stable operation of the ground source heat pump system.
[0048] The above is only a specific embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement made by any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present application, as long as it is within the spirit and principles of the present application, should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
