Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of solar energy utilization, and in particular relates to a solar energy utilization system for collecting and storing high-temperature thermal energy. Background Art

[0002] Using solar panels to directly convert light energy into electrical energy is a widely used way of utilizing solar energy. With the reduction of manufacturing costs, solar panels are increasingly valued by everyone. However, the photoelectric conversion efficiency of solar panels has not been significantly improved. Under normal working conditions, the conversion rate of 15%-20% makes the overall cost of solar panel systems still remain relatively high. In addition, unless additional expensive energy storage batteries are installed, solar panels can generate electricity when there is sunlight, but cannot store electricity. Therefore, when there is no sunlight, such as in the evening and at night when users need to use a large amount of electricity or heat energy, solar panels cannot provide the required electricity for some households.

[0003] Another device that uses solar energy is the solar cooker. Box-type, flat-plate, and concentrating solar cookers can convert light energy into heat and use it to cook food, but users need to operate it manually under the hot sun, which reduces users' enthusiasm for using the product. In addition, the overall utilization rate of solar cookers is relatively low, and solar cookers are idle when not cooking. If there is no sunlight, the solar cooker cannot work. For example, users cannot use solar cookers to cook food at night.

[0004] Solar water heaters, which use vacuum tubes or other heat collection devices to collect heat, are a relatively effective way to utilize solar energy. However, solar water heaters generally have high requirements for water quality. When the minerals or impurities in the water exceed a certain proportion, the system often reduces efficiency due to the precipitation of impurities, or even fails to work properly. In cold areas, many water heaters cannot be used normally because the water in the pipes is easy to freeze. In addition, the maintenance cost of solar water heaters is also high, and the function is single, lacking other functions such as cooking.

[0005] Concentrated solar thermal power generation (CSP) technology is also being gradually commercialized. This system generally uses reflectors or lenses to focus a large area of ​​sunlight into a relatively small light collection area, allowing the solar energy to be concentrated and converted into heat energy, and then absorbs heat through a heat-absorbing medium (such as molten salt or water), and finally produces steam to drive a heat engine (such as a steam turbine engine) and drive a generator to generate electricity. The advantage of this technology is that the thermoelectric conversion efficiency is relatively high, but the development of this technology depends greatly on scale and cost, including construction and operation costs. This technology usually uses a high-temperature liquid heat storage medium (such as molten salt) to absorb, transmit and store thermal energy. In order to keep the heat storage medium in the system circulated normally, a large amount of investment is required for the manufacture, maintenance and operation of its circulation system. Under the existing technology, the construction and operation costs of this system are relatively high, and it is mainly suitable for large-scale power generation far away from residential or factory areas, and cannot be directly installed in people's living or working areas, such as roofs and factory roofs, like solar panels. Summary of the invention

[0006] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a solar energy utilization system for collecting and storing high-temperature thermal energy, which stores solar energy in the form of high-temperature thermal energy in a heat storage medium placed in a heat-insulating container and takes it out for use whenever it is needed. The system has low production cost, high efficiency and is easy to implement. Because the stored thermal energy is high-temperature thermal energy and is easy to take out, the thermal energy can be used for cooking food, heating, hot water, producing steam to generate electricity, disinfection, cleaning and many other applications. The system is also easy to expand to meet various working conditions and can be applied to living or working areas, or large-scale solar power plants, thereby maximizing the use of solar energy.

[0096] In this embodiment, the high-temperature heat storage device 300 includes a second high-temperature resistant heat preservation container 61 and a first ball storage device 62 placed therein, wherein the first ball storage device 62 is a spiral metal tube with a certain inclination angle, and is connected to the heat storage device inlet switch 59 at its highest point to control the flow of the spherical heat storage medium 600 into the high-temperature heat storage device 300, and is connected to the heat storage device outlet switch 60 at its lowest point to control the flow of the spherical heat storage medium 600 out of the heat application device 500. The design of the spiral metal tube enables the spherical heat storage medium 600 to automatically flow to the heat application device 500 by its own gravity when the heat storage device outlet switch 60 is opened, and the heat storage device inlet and outlet switches are both insulated to reduce heat loss.

[0097] In this embodiment, the heat application device 500 includes a third high temperature resistant heat preservation container 501 and a second ball storage device 502 therein, a heat release surface 82 and a heat release surface heat preservation cover 64, and a heat exchanger 79.

[0098] In this embodiment, the heat storage medium transmission device 400 is connected between the heating heat collection device 200 and the high-temperature heat storage device 300. The heat storage medium transmission device 400 transfers the spherical heat storage medium 600 heated in the heating heat collection device 200 to the high-temperature heat storage device 300 for storage, and transfers the spherical heat storage medium 600 released from the heat application device 500 and cooled after completing heat exchange to the heating heat collection device 200 for reheating.

[0099] Preferably, the heat storage medium transmission device 400 includes a heating heat collection device inlet switch 30, a heating heat collection device outlet switch 31, a heat storage device inlet switch 59, a heat storage device outlet switch 60, a heat application device inlet switch 503, a heat application device outlet switch 66, a feed control device 65, a first lifting device 401, a second lifting device 402, a feed transmission pipeline (an upper layer feed pipeline 32, a middle layer feed pipeline 403 and a lower layer feed pipeline 405) and a discharge transmission pipeline 404;

[0100] Preferably, the inlet switch 30 of the heating heat collector comprises an electromagnetic telescopic device 67, a telescopic core 68 and an insulating plug 69. The insulating plug 69 is connected to the end of the telescopic core 68. When the electromagnetic telescopic device 67 is not powered on, the telescopic core 68 is in an extended position, and the connected insulating plug 69 is in a position to block the heat storage medium ball from entering the metal cage 28. The insulating plug 69 can be in close contact with the metal cage inlet and can prevent the heat energy from dissipating. When powered on, the electromagnetic telescopic device 67 drives the telescopic core 68 to shorten and drives the insulating plug 69 to move out of the blocking position, so that the spherical heat storage medium 600 can flow into the metal cage 28 of the heating heat collector 200 to be heated. The outlet switch 31 of the heating heat collector, the inlet switch 59 of the heat storage device, the outlet switch 60 of the heat storage device, the inlet switch 503 of the heat application device and the outlet switch 66 of the heat application device all adopt a design similar to the inlet switch 30 of the heating heat collector.

[0101] In this embodiment, the feed control device 65 includes a first electromagnetic switch 406, a second electromagnetic switch 407 and a lower feed pipe 405 with a certain slope, and the distance between the two electromagnetic switches is the diameter of a heat storage medium ball. The slope of the lower feed pipe 405 can ensure that the spherical heat storage medium 600 located therein can roll freely by gravity, and the slope can be between 10-30 degrees. As shown in the figure, when waiting to release the spherical heat storage medium 600, the first electromagnetic switch 406 is in an extended state, and its telescopic core can just prevent the released spherical heat storage medium 600 from rolling in the lower feeding pipe 405, and the second electromagnetic switch 407 is in a shortened state, and its telescopic core can just not prevent the released spherical heat storage medium 600 from rolling in the lower feeding pipe 405. When the spherical heat storage medium 600 needs to be released, the first electromagnetic switch 406 becomes a shortened state, and its telescopic core can just not prevent the released spherical heat storage medium 600 from rolling in the lower feeding pipe 405, and at the same time, the second electromagnetic switch 407 becomes an extended state, and its telescopic core can just prevent the spherical heat storage medium 600 from rolling in the lower feeding pipe 405. The heat medium 600 rolls in the lower feeding pipe 405, so a spherical heat storage medium 600 between the first electromagnetic switch 406 and the second electromagnetic switch 407 can flow out of the feeding control device 65 and enter the second lifting device 402, and then, the first electromagnetic switch 406 changes to an extended state, and the second electromagnetic switch 407 changes to a shortened state, so that a spherical heat storage medium 600 can flow into the space between the first electromagnetic switch 406 and the second electromagnetic switch 407, waiting to be released; the control system can control the number of times the state of the first electromagnetic switch 406 and the second electromagnetic switch 407 changes according to the number of spherical heat storage media 600 that need to be released each time.

[0102] In other embodiments, the distance between the two electromagnetic switches may also be the diameter of several spherical heat storage media, depending on the number of spherical heat storage media that can be transferred at one time set by the heat storage medium transmission device 400. The maximum distance between the two electromagnetic switches may be set to be several times the diameter of the spherical heat storage medium.

[0103] In this embodiment, the first lifting device 401 includes a first stepper motor 46, a first screw rod 42, a first guide rail 43, a first slider 45 and a first transfer cylinder 44, the first slider 45 is coupled with the first screw rod 42 and the first guide rail 43, the first screw rod 42 is connected with the first stepper motor 46 and driven to rotate; when the first stepper motor 46 rotates in one direction, it drives the first screw rod 42 to rotate in one direction and drives the first transfer cylinder 44 coupled thereto to move upward along the first guide rail 43, and when the first stepper motor 46 rotates in the other direction, it can drive the first transfer cylinder 44 to move downward along the first guide rail 43;

[0104] Optimally, the first transfer cylinder 44 is a metal cylindrical cylinder that is closed on both the upper and lower sides, and its inner diameter is slightly larger than the diameter of the spherical heat storage medium 600. Its inner bottom surface is an inclined surface with an inclination angle of 10-20 degrees. A ball outlet hole 71 is opened on the cylindrical cylinder wall at the lowest point of the inclined surface, and a goal hole 70 is opened on the cylinder wall just above it and slightly lower than the top surface of the cylindrical cylinder. The spherical heat storage medium 600 can enter the first transfer cylinder 44 from the goal hole 70, and can also flow out of the first transfer cylinder 44 from the ball outlet hole 71; the switch of the ball outlet hole 71 is controlled by the ball outlet hole control door 77, and the ball outlet hole control door 77 is a curved metal plate with a shape similar to that of the outer wall of the first transfer cylinder 44 , its height can just cover the ball outlet hole 71, the contact rod 74 connected to the ball outlet hole control door 77 passes through the hole on the spring fixing member 76 connected to the first transfer cylinder 44 and can slide freely in the hole, and a contact rod stopper 73 is provided on the contact rod 74 below the spring fixing member 76, which is used to limit the highest upward movement position of the contact rod 74. When the contact rod stopper 73 contacts the spring fixing member 76, the contact rod 74 reaches the highest upward movement position. At this time, the ball outlet hole control door 77 just covers the ball outlet hole 71, one end of the spring 72 is fixed to the spring fixing member 76, and the other end is fixed to the contact rod 74 close to the ball outlet hole 71. At the ball outlet control door 77, the initial length of the spring 72 is less than the distance between the two fixed ends, so that the spring 72 is in a stretched state after being fixed, and the tension in the spring 72 and the contact rod stopper 73 work together to enable the ball outlet control door 77 to stably cover the ball outlet 71, thereby preventing the spherical heat storage medium 600 in the first transfer cylinder 44 from flowing out; when the first stepper motor 46 rotates and drives the first transfer cylinder 44 to move upward to the first transfer cylinder set high position 47, the baffle 75 connected to the guide rail 43 contacts and blocks the contact rod 74, so that the ball outlet control door 77 connected thereto will not be able to continue to rise, and the control device 700 The first stepper motor 46 is controlled to continue to run upward for a distance equal to the height of the ball outlet hole 71. At this time, the ball outlet hole 71 will no longer be blocked by the ball outlet hole control door 77, so that the spherical heat storage medium 600 in the first transfer cylinder 44 can flow out from the ball outlet hole 71, and the spring 72 is further stretched. When the first stepper motor 46 rotates in the opposite direction and drives the first transfer cylinder 44 to move downward and disengage from the first transfer cylinder set high position 47, the contact rod 74 disengages from the baffle 75, and because of the tension in the spring 72, the ball outlet hole control door 77 covers the ball outlet hole 71 again, which can prevent the spherical heat storage medium 600 in the first transfer cylinder 44 from flowing out of the ball outlet hole 71.

[0105] In this embodiment, the height of the first transfer cylinder 44 is 4.5 times the diameter of the spherical heat storage medium 600, so it can accommodate 4 spherical heat storage media 600. In other embodiments, the height of the first transfer cylinder 44 can be determined according to the number of spherical heat storage media 600 that need to be transferred each time.

[0106] In this embodiment, the first lifting device 401 is fixed to the edge of the parabolic reflective condenser 1 by the second fixing member 41 , and the first guide rail 43 of the first lifting device 401 is parallel to the central axis of the parabolic reflective condenser 1 .

The feed control device 65 is placed on the lower layer feed pipeline 405. The lower layer feed pipeline 405 has an inclination angle, and its lower end is flush with the ball hole when the second transfer cylinder 52 is in a low position, and the high end is connected to the heat application device outlet switch 66, so that the spherical heat storage medium 600 released from the heat application device 500 can roll toward the second transfer cylinder 52 under the action of gravity. The lower layer feed pipeline 405 has a first spiral tube 411 between the heat application device outlet switch 66 and the feed control device 65, which can store all the spherical heat storage media 600 released from the heat application device 500.

[0114] Preferably, the discharge pipe 33 includes a discharge release section 56, a discharge pipe transfer section 13, a discharge pipe collection section 57, a second vertical sleeve 18 and a second horizontal sleeve 17;
