Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of cyclic energy storage, and in particular to a method and a device for automatic cyclic energy storage of a gravity block. Background Art

[0002] There are many existing power storage technologies. Among them, pumped storage and gravity storage are common large-scale physical energy storage methods. They have typical advantages such as peak regulation, valley filling, frequency regulation, emergency standby and black start. They can be used as an important support for the construction of a modern smart grid new power system. It is an important part of building a clean, low-carbon, safe, reliable, smart, flexible, economical and efficient new power system. Although pumped storage power stations are a key way to meet the regulation needs of the power system in the current and future periods, they are difficult to site for the upper and lower reservoirs, have high construction costs, and are limited by water sources, environment, land, and anti-seepage technology. They are far from meeting the current energy storage needs. Gravity energy storage, as a new energy storage method, has the advantages of high energy density, low environmental impact, and low site selection requirements, and has become a beneficial supplement to large-scale physical energy storage. Gravity energy storage belongs to mechanical energy storage, and its energy storage medium is mainly solid matter and water. The basic principle of gravity energy storage is to raise and lower the energy storage medium based on the height difference, thereby completing the charging and discharging process of the energy storage system. The essence of the gravity energy storage system is to use the gravity of the earth to store and release kinetic energy. The use of solid media for energy storage has more obvious advantages than liquid media, and it does not rely on terrain, climate and water sources. However, when solid media are used as energy storage media, issues such as floor space, stacking effect and safety of use need to be considered. At present, most of the concrete is used as the gravity block medium, but it has certain defects: 1. When concrete moves up and down for stacking, it will collide with each other and cause damage, and the structural strength is not high and it is easy to break; 2. The metal shell on the outside is prone to corrosion after long-term use, and the concrete inside the shell is easy to separate from the shell, causing shaking and moving inertia during movement, affecting safety of use; 3. It is not conducive to automatic loading and unloading of gravity blocks. When loading and unloading gravity blocks in conjunction with the entire gravity energy storage system, the system has a great impact on the gravity blocks, and the concrete gravity blocks are very easy to be damaged. In the prior art, there is a post-mining abandoned shaft gangue gradient gravity energy storage system (application number: 202010199858.0). This scheme only uses the abandoned mine shaft as an energy storage channel, establishes underground parking lots of different elevations between the main and auxiliary shafts, and then uses mine cars filled with gangue for energy storage; a gravity energy storage system based on the mine shaft, hoisting, and transportation system (application number 201910074856.6). This scheme uses the mine's original derrick, wire rope, mine car and wellhead operating equipment, transformers and electric lifting and power generation equipment to achieve gravity energy storage. After analysis, it is not difficult to find that the above-mentioned schemes have the following obvious defects or shortcomings: (1) Such schemes only use underground space in the shaft or a very small area near it for energy storage, resulting in small energy storage capacity, insufficient installed power generation capacity, and unreasonable input-output efficiency, which leads to the lack of relevant industrialization prospects for such schemes; (2) Such schemes all use mine cars filled with gangue for energy storage, which generally have operational safety risks such as poor stability of the mine cars, easy rolling of gangue, and outdated existing transportation systems.In the prior art, there is an efficient and environmentally friendly gravity energy storage method and device (application number: 201110141522.X). This patent utilizes the basic principle of energy conversion and is characterized in that the device consists of three parts: an energy input end gear, an output end gear and an energy storage weight. The connection and energy transmission of the three parts are realized by using a closed chain and a gear structure. The energy at the input end is used to rotate the gear unidirectionally to drive the gear on the weight and the output end gear to rotate in the form of torque, so as to achieve the purpose of lifting the weight and storing and releasing potential energy. After analysis, it is not difficult to find that the above scheme has the following obvious defects or shortcomings: (1) The gear structure used in this scheme has limited bearing capacity due to material and structural limitations, and there is a small energy storage capacity of a single group mechanism, the power generation installed capacity is not large-scale, and the input-output efficiency is unreasonable, resulting in this type of scheme having no relevant industrialization prospects; (2) This type of shaft energy storage scheme does not consider the problem of how to automatically load and unload the gravity block. Loading and unloading the gravity block requires kinetic energy, which is an important part of the entire energy conversion system. Summary of the invention

S2, after the weight block is transported to the predetermined loading position, under the action of the limit track, the upper jaw of the crocodile clamp rotates clockwise to an open state, so that the weight block contacts the link shaft of the chain group; S3. When the limit track is disconnected, the upper jaw of the crocodile clamp rotates counterclockwise to a clamping state, fixes the gravity block to the chain group, and moves to a higher position with the chain group; S4, at the warehouse at a high place, the limit track acts again to open the crocodile jaws, and the gravity block is separated from the chain group and enters the warehouse at a high place through the transfer belt to complete energy storage; S5.

The warehouse 8 is contained in the storage module of the gravity block 1, and is cooperated with the crocodile clamp 1.1 on the upper part of the gravity block 1 through the limiting track 10 to adjust the clamping and release state of the crocodile clamp.

[0022] It should be noted that the gravity block automatic circulation energy storage device described in this embodiment realizes automatic storage and release of energy by moving the gravity block between high and low warehouses 8 through the coordination of the gravity block, chain group 2, drive wheel group 3 and belt system. The gravity block is connected to the chain group 2 by an alligator clamp and is lifted or lowered by the drive wheel group 3.

[0024] Specifically, the reciprocating motion of the gravity block between the high and low warehouses 8 is used to convert mechanical energy into potential energy for storage, and when released, it is reversely converted into mechanical energy to achieve power generation. The system delivers the gravity block to the position of the chain group 2 through the transfer belt 7, and the chain group 2 is driven by the driving unit 9 to lift the gravity block to the high warehouse 8. After reaching the specified position, the limit track 10 controls the opening and closing of the crocodile clamp, so that the gravity block can smoothly detach from the chain group 2 and enter the warehouse 8 to complete energy storage. The reverse process releases the gravity block from the high warehouse 8 to the low warehouse 8, and uses its downward process to achieve energy release and power generation.
