[0035] In an embodiment of the present invention, when the first energy storage device stores thermal energy up to 3000°C, in order to realize the conversion between thermal energy and mechanical energy, the engine, pneumatic conveying equipment and temperature control module can be adaptively adjusted according to the scenario. For example, high-temperature resistant materials are selected for the pipelines and engines in the pneumatic conveying equipment, and the temperature range that can be measured by the temperature control module needs to include the highest temperature and the lowest temperature in the scenario.

Graphite particles refer to tiny particles made of graphite materials. Graphite is a mineral composed of carbon elements, and its crystal structure is layered. The carbon atoms in each layer are bound by strong covalent bonds, and the layers interact with each other through weaker van der Waals forces. Graphite particles also have good thermal conductivity and can effectively transfer heat. And graphite has good stability to most chemical substances at room temperature. At the same time, graphite can maintain the stability of its physical and chemical properties in a high temperature environment. The melting point of graphite is about 3652 degrees Celsius (6602 degrees Fahrenheit).

[0037] It should be noted that the specific material of the first energy storage device in the embodiment of the present invention can be selected according to the actual application scenario and is not limited to the graphite particles in the above example. There is no excessive restriction on this in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0038] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first energy storage device is detachably connected to the vehicle. Specifically, the first energy storage device can be set in a specific first energy storage device buckle slot for fixation; the first energy storage device can be replaced at any time, and the operation is simple.

[0039] In one embodiment of the present invention, the engine is connected to the vehicle via a power control module driven by mechanical energy, and the power control module is used to receive the mechanical energy output by the engine and use the mechanical energy to drive the vehicle.

[0040] The power control module includes any of the following:

[0041] Transmission, wheel axle.

[0042] In another embodiment of the present invention, the heat stored in the first energy storage device may come from: solar energy, wind energy, valley electricity, refrigerators, industrial waste heat, geothermal energy, biomass energy, electricity conversion, environmental thermal energy, chemical reaction heat, nuclear energy, wind energy and tidal energy.

[0043] Among them, solar thermal energy can be collected by solar collectors and stored in thermal energy storage systems, such as hot water storage tanks or phase change materials. Industrial waste heat is waste heat generated during industrial production, such as steel, chemical, and power industries, which can be recovered and stored through heat exchangers. Geothermal energy can be extracted through geothermal wells and stored in geothermal energy storage systems for heating or power generation. Thermal energy generated during biomass combustion or biomass pyrolysis can be stored for heating or power generation. Electric energy conversion can be converted into heat or cold energy for storage through resistance heating, electrochemical reactions, or electrolysis of water. Ambient thermal energy is thermal energy in the environment, such as heat in air, water, or soil, which can be extracted and stored through heat pump technology. Chemical reaction heat is heat released during certain chemical reactions, such as the heat generated by the reaction of sodium hydroxide with water. The heat generated in nuclear reactors can be used to generate steam, which in turn drives turbines to generate electricity and stores excess heat. Wind and tidal energy: The excess electrical energy generated by these renewable energy sources during power generation can be converted into thermal energy storage through electric heat conversion equipment.

[0044] In one embodiment of the present invention, in order to store and release more heat, a plurality of first energy storage devices may be used in a vehicle, and the plurality of first energy storage devices may be connected in series or in parallel.

[0045] In the embodiment of the present invention, the functions between the modules in the vehicle are as follows:

[0046] The pneumatic conveying device in the embodiment of the present invention is used to provide a fluid medium for the first energy storage device, wherein the fluid medium may be air or an inert gas. The pneumatic conveying device in the embodiment of the present invention can adjust the gas flow rate of the gas entering the first energy storage device, thereby controlling the conversion rate of heat energy and electrical energy.

[0047] In one embodiment of the present invention, the gas delivery device further comprises a filter. The filter is used to filter the delivered gas, such as filtering out particles carried in the gas or other substances that affect the conversion of thermal energy and mechanical energy in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0048] The first energy storage device in the embodiment of the present invention can store heat, and use the first energy storage medium to exchange heat with the fluid medium introduced; the first energy storage medium with high specific heat capacity is selected in the first energy storage device, so that when the fluid medium with a lower temperature is transported to the first energy storage device, the fluid medium and the first energy storage device are fully in contact to achieve the transfer of heat energy, that is, the heat energy can be transferred from the first energy storage device to the fluid medium. Then, the fluid medium flows out of the first energy storage device to achieve the release of heat energy.

[0049] The engine in the embodiment of the present invention can be used to receive the heated fluid working medium, and through the fluid working medium expansion and work in the engine, the heat of the fluid working medium is converted into mechanical energy for use by the vehicle. Specifically, the high-temperature fluid working medium can intermittently enter the small two-stroke engine to expand and work, thereby outputting mechanical energy, and then connected to the wheel axle through the vehicle's transmission to achieve increased cruising range.

[0050] The temperature control module in the embodiment of the present invention can be used to monitor the operating status of the vehicle, and control the first energy storage device to start or stop energy release according to the operating status.

[0051] Specifically, a first valve is provided on the circulation pipeline before the inlet of the first energy storage device, and a second valve is provided on the circulation pipeline after the outlet of the first energy storage device. The temperature control module controls the opening or closing of the first valve and the second valve to control the first energy storage device to start or stop energy release.

[0052] In practical applications, the temperature control module can control the first valve and the second valve to open or close. In a scenario where the first energy storage device needs to release heat energy, the temperature control module can control the first valve and the second valve to open. Thus, the first energy storage device can pass fluid working medium for heat exchange and output the heated fluid working medium to achieve heat energy release; in a scenario where the first energy storage device does not need to release energy, the temperature control system can control the first valve and the second valve to close, and the first energy storage device is in a static environment and does not release energy to the outside.

[0053] Specifically, a first valve is provided on the circulation pipe before the inlet of the first energy storage device, and a second valve is provided on the circulation pipe after the outlet of the first energy storage device, and the status information includes power status information; the temperature control module is used to open the first valve and the second valve when it detects that the power status information of the vehicle matches the first preset state, so as to control the first energy storage device to start energy release; the temperature control module is used to close the first valve and the second valve when it detects that the energy of the first energy storage device is exhausted, so as to control the first energy storage device to stop energy release.

[0054] In practical applications, the vehicle is driven by mechanical energy. When the power state information of the current vehicle matches the first preset state, the vehicle is difficult to drive. The first valve and the second valve can be opened to convert the energy stored in the first energy storage device into mechanical energy to provide power energy for the vehicle. The first preset state can be set according to the type of vehicle, and the first preset state is a state where the power state of the vehicle cannot support the driving of the vehicle. When it is detected that the energy of the first energy storage device is exhausted, the first valve and the second valve can be closed.

[0055] The vehicle includes: a second energy storage device, which is filled with a second energy storage medium and is located between the first energy storage device and the engine. The second energy storage device is used to exchange energy with the fluid working medium output by the second energy storage device and the first energy storage device, so that the second energy storage device stores energy.

[0056] The temperature range of the second energy storage medium is -250° C. to 3000° C. The second energy storage device can be used as an intermediate device to store part of the heat to achieve cooling of the fluid output by the first energy storage device.

[0057] In one embodiment of the present invention, the means of transportation is a vehicle, and the temperature control module is also used to monitor the temperature inside the vehicle, and adjust the air intake speed of the pneumatic conveying equipment based on the temperature inside the vehicle and the preset temperature of the vehicle heating system. The first outlet of the second energy storage device is connected to the thermoelectric conversion module, and the second outlet of the second energy storage device is connected to the fresh air device of the temperature control module, and the fresh air device is used to cool the gas output from the second outlet of the first energy storage device to the preset temperature of the vehicle heating system.

[0058] In practical applications, the first energy storage device in the vehicle can not only be converted into mechanical energy, but also can realize in-vehicle heating. The temperature control module can monitor the in-vehicle temperature and then adjust the air intake speed of the pneumatic conveying equipment based on the in-vehicle temperature and the preset temperature of the vehicle heating system, thereby controlling the temperature of the fluid working medium output by the first energy storage device.

[0059] The first outlet of the second energy storage device is connected to the thermoelectric conversion module, so that thermal energy can be converted into mechanical energy to drive the vehicle. The second outlet of the second energy storage device is connected to the fresh air device of the temperature control module, and then the fluid working medium is transported to the fresh air device to achieve vehicle heating through the fresh air device.

[0060] In one embodiment of the present invention, the vehicle further includes a central control system, the central control system of the vehicle may include a central control interface, the central control interface is used to display the real-time status of the vehicle of the vehicle, the temperature control module includes a first temperature meter (such as Figure 1 T1 in the figure) and a second temperature controller (such as Figure 1 T2); wherein, the top of the first energy storage device is the fluid outlet, with the lowest temperature, and the bottom of the first energy storage device is the fluid inlet, with the highest temperature.

[0061] The central control system is used to generate a first reminder message for feeding back that the energy of the first energy storage device is exhausted when the second temperature controller detects that the temperature of the first energy storage device is lower than the first set value, and display the first reminder message on the central control interface of the central control system; for example, the first reminder message may be the words "The energy of the first energy storage device is about to be exhausted, please charge". When the temperature control module detects that the temperature of the first energy storage device is lower than the first set value, it controls the first energy storage device to stop releasing energy.

[0062] The central control system is also used to generate a second reminder message for feedback that the first energy storage device is fully charged when the first thermometer detects that the temperature is higher than the second set value during the charging stage of the first energy storage device, and display the second reminder message on the central control interface of the central control system; for example, the second reminder message can be "The first energy storage device is fully charged, please unplug the power." At the same time, the charging circuit between the first energy storage device and the outside world is disconnected to avoid overcharging.

[0063] It should be noted that the first setting value and the second setting value in the embodiment of the present invention can be set according to actual scenarios, and there are no excessive restrictions on this in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0064] The temperature control system is used to control the first energy storage device to turn off energy release when it detects that the first energy storage device is in the charging stage, and to control the first energy storage device to start energy release when receiving a command from the central control system to control the first energy storage device to start energy release.

[0065] In one embodiment of the present invention, a first energy storage device is charged in an energy storage system, and the energy storage system includes a fluidized bed charging module, a fixed bed energy storage module, and a circulation pipeline connecting the fluidized bed charging module and the fixed bed energy storage module. The fixed bed energy storage module includes a first fixed bed group consisting of multiple fixed beds connected in series or in parallel, a second fixed bed connected in series with the first fixed bed group, and a third temperature meter located at the top of the second fixed bed and a fourth temperature meter located at the bottom of the second fixed bed. A fluid medium flows through the circulation pipeline, and the fluidized bed cavity of the fluidized bed charging module is filled with the second first energy storage device, and the fixed bed cavity of the fixed bed energy storage module is filled with the first energy storage device, wherein the first energy storage device is the fixed bed in the first fixed bed group.

[0066] In actual applications, after the fluid working medium flows into the fluidized bed charging module, the fluid working medium exchanges energy with the first energy storage device, and the fluid working medium carries the energy to the fixed bed energy storage module, and stores energy in the fixed beds in the first fixed bed group in turn, and then outputs it from the second fixed bed. Through the above arrangement, the fixed beds in the first fixed bed group are filled with energy, and then the charged fixed beds can be removed for standby use. Specifically, the charged fixed bed can be used as a means of transportation in the embodiment of the present invention as a first energy storage device to release energy.

[0067] In one embodiment of the present invention, a compressor for pressurizing the fluid working medium is arranged on the circulation pipeline connecting the delivery pump and the first energy storage device.

[0068] In an embodiment of the present invention, the first energy storage device can be used as a backup energy source to convert thermal energy into mechanical energy, thereby providing mechanical energy for a vehicle and extending the vehicle's endurance. At the same time, the energy storage temperature of the first energy storage device is as high as 3000°C, and the energy storage density is large, which can release more energy for the vehicle.

[0069] Reference Figure 2 , showing a flow chart of the steps of a heat storage driving method for a vehicle provided by an embodiment of the present invention, which is applied to a heat storage driven vehicle, the vehicle comprising: one or more first energy storage devices, an engine, and a temperature control module, the pneumatic transport device comprising a circulation pipeline and a delivery pump on the circulation pipeline, the delivery pump being connected to the inlet of the first energy storage device through the circulation pipeline, delivering a fluid working medium to the first energy storage device, the first energy storage device being filled with the first energy storage device, and the temperature range of the first energy storage device being -250°C to 3000°C, the outlet of the first energy storage device being connected to the engine through the circulation pipeline, wherein: the pneumatic transport device is used to provide a fluid working medium to the first energy storage device; the first energy storage device is used to store heat through the first energy storage device, and the first energy storage device is used to perform heat exchange with the introduced fluid working medium; the engine is used to receive the heated fluid working medium, and convert the heat of the fluid working medium into mechanical energy for use by the vehicle; the temperature control module is used to monitor the operating state of the vehicle, and control the first energy storage device to start or stop energy release according to the operating state.

[0070] The heat storage driving method based on the above-mentioned heat storage driven vehicle may specifically include the following steps:

[0071] Step S201, after the first energy storage device is turned on, the first energy storage device filled with the first energy storage device is used to heat the fluid working medium input into the first energy storage device;

[0072] In actual applications, after the first energy storage device starts to release energy, the fluid working medium flows into the first energy storage device from the bottom of the first energy storage device, exchanges heat with the first energy storage device inside the first energy storage device, and then the fluid working medium is heated and flows out of the first energy storage device from the top of the first energy storage device carrying heat energy.

[0073] Step S202, using an engine to convert the heat of the fluid into mechanical energy;

[0074] The high-temperature fluid medium flowing out of the first energy storage device can be transported to the engine through a circulation pipeline, and the conversion between thermal energy and mechanical energy is performed in the engine.

[0075] Step S203: using mechanical energy to drive the vehicle.

When a command from the central control system to control the first energy storage device to start energy release is received, the first energy storage device is controlled to start energy release.
