[0037] The working principles of the molten salt storage tank and the molten salt electric thermal storage long-term energy storage device provided by the present invention are as follows:
[0038] During use, the molten salt electric thermal storage long-term energy storage device body 29 can use molten salt as an energy storage medium, convert electrical energy into thermal energy through an electric heating device and store it in the molten salt. This belongs to the prior art and will not be described here. When the molten salt pump 5 is used to suck out the molten salt in the molten salt storage tank body 1, the molten salt pump 5 can use the second suction pipe 8, sleeve 7 and first suction pipe 6 to suck out the molten salt flowing into the collecting tank and transport it to the corresponding equipment. In this process. The reduction motor 13 needs to be started at the same time, the reduction motor 13 will drive the rotating shaft 31 to rotate, the rotating shaft 31 will drive the first bevel gear 14 to rotate, the first bevel gear 14 will drive the second bevel gear 15 to rotate, and the second bevel gear 15 will drive the circular plate 3 to rotate on the partition 2, so that the collecting groove on the circular plate 3 can change its position by rotating. During the rotation of the circular plate 3, the circular plate 3 will drive the second suction pipe 8 to rotate on the sleeve 7 through the bracket 9, so that the liquid molten salt at the bottom can flow evenly to the collecting groove, which can not only improve the use effect of the molten salt storage tank, but also improve the use effect of the molten salt electric heat storage long-term energy storage device body 29 related thereto;
[0039] During use, the photovoltaic panel 11 can convert the sun's light energy into electrical energy, which can be stored in the battery 24. The electrical energy stored in the battery 24 can provide power support for the molten salt pump 5 and the reduction motor 13, so that in long-term use, the electricity cost can be effectively saved. Each time the reduction motor 13 is started to drive the rotating shaft 31 to rotate, the first sprocket 16 will drive the second sprocket 18 to rotate through the chain 19, and the second sprocket 18 will drive the reciprocating screw 17 to rotate. The reciprocating screw 17 will drive the connecting block 20 to slide back and forth on the inner wall of the sliding groove 30, and the connecting block 20 will drive the connecting plate 21 to move back and forth, and the connecting plate 21 will drive the bristles 22 to move back and forth, so that the bristles 22 can clean up the dust attached to the photovoltaic panel 11 by moving to prevent excessive accumulation of dust from affecting the power generation efficiency of the photovoltaic panel 11, and the cleaning is more convenient.
[0040] Compared with the related art, the molten salt storage tank and the molten salt electric thermal storage long-term energy storage device provided by the present invention have the following beneficial effects:
[0041] The present invention provides a molten salt storage tank and a molten salt electric heat storage long-term energy storage device. The molten salt can be used as an energy storage medium through the molten salt electric heat storage long-term energy storage device body 29. The electric heating device converts electrical energy into thermal energy and stores it in the molten salt. The molten salt flowing into the collecting tank can be sucked out by the coordinated use of the molten salt pump 5, the first suction pipe 6, the sleeve 7 and the second suction pipe 8. The use of the driving mechanism can drive the circular plate 3 to rotate on the partition 2, so that the collecting tank on the circular plate 3 can change its position by rotating. During the rotation of the circular plate 3, the circular plate 3 will drive the second suction pipe 8 to rotate on the sleeve 7 through the bracket 9, so that the liquid molten salt at the bottom can flow evenly to the collecting tank. In order to prevent the molten salt with low liquid level from being used, this can not only improve the use effect of the molten salt storage tank, but also improve the use effect of the molten salt electric thermal storage long-term energy storage device body 29 related thereto. The photovoltaic panel 11 can convert the solar light energy into electrical energy, and the converted electrical energy can be stored in the battery 24. The electrical energy stored in the battery 24 can provide power support for the molten salt pump 5 and the reduction motor 13. In this way, in long-term use, the electricity cost can be effectively saved. Each time the driving mechanism is started, the cleaning mechanism will also run together, which can clean up the dust attached to the photovoltaic panel 11 to prevent excessive accumulation of dust from affecting the power generation efficiency of the photovoltaic panel 11, and the cleaning is more convenient.
