[0028] To make the above objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific implementation manners.

[0029] Embodiment 1

[0030] Refer to Figure 1 , the present invention provides a liquid piston compressor, including:

[0031] Compression assembly, the compression assembly includes a first compression tank 1, a second compression tank 2, a third compression tank 3 and a plunger pump 4.

[0032] In this device, the compressed liquid pool 5 is filled with liquid. The plunger pump 4 is used to pump the liquid in the compressed liquid pool 5 into the first compression tank 1, the second compression tank 2 or the third compression tank 3. The high-pressure tank 13 is used to store high-pressure gas.

[0033] Further optimized solution, the heat exchange mechanism includes a heat exchanger 20, a high-pressure liquid tank 21, a compressed heat storage pump 22, a first heat tank 23 and a second heat tank 24.

Both the first air pipe 25 and the first liquid pipe 26 pass through the heat exchanger 20.

[0034] The heat storage medium is liquid. The high-pressure gas sent into the high-pressure tank 13 has a relatively high temperature. Through the heat exchange of the heat exchanger 20, the heat is transferred to the heat storage medium in the first heat tank 23 and the second heat tank 24.

An air pipe four 34 is connected between the compression tank three 3 and the low-pressure air source 12, and the one-way valve three 16 is installed on the air pipe four 34.

[0039] The low-pressure gas of the low-pressure air source 12 enters the compression tank one 1 through the air pipe two 32 and the one-way valve one 14, enters the compression tank two 2 through the air pipe three 33 and the one-way valve two 15, and enters the compression tank three 3 through the air pipe four 34 and the one-way valve three 16.

[0040] For a further optimized solution, a main pipe two is connected to the high-pressure tank 13.

[0041] The compressed gas in the compression tank one 1 enters the high-pressure tank 13 through the air pipe five 35 and the one-way valve four 17, the compressed gas in the compression tank two 2 enters the high-pressure tank 13 through the air pipe six 36 and the one-way valve five 18, and the compressed gas in the compression tank three 3 enters the high-pressure tank 13 through the air pipe seven 37 and the one-way valve six 19.

[0042] A control method for a liquid piston compressor includes the following steps:

[0043] Step one: Before starting, turn on the solenoid valve one 6, turn off the solenoid valve two 7, the solenoid valve three 8, and the solenoid valve four 9, and start the plunger pump 4. The plunger pump 4 pumps the liquid in the compressed liquid pool 5 into the compression tank one 1, and the gas in the compression tank one 1 is compressed. The compressed gas enters the high-pressure tank 13 through the one-way valve four 17 for storage;

[0044] Step 2: Open solenoid valve 2-7 and solenoid valve 4-9, close solenoid valve 1-6, solenoid valve 3-8 and solenoid valve 5-10. The liquid in compression tank 1 can flow into the compressed liquid pool 5 by its own weight. At the same time, the gas from the low-pressure gas source 12 enters compression tank 1 through check valve 1-14. The plunger pump 4 pumps the liquid into compression tank 2. The gas in compression tank 2 is compressed, and the compressed gas enters the high-pressure tank 13 through check valve 5-18 for storage;

[0045] Step 3: Open solenoid valve 3-8 and solenoid valve 5-10, close solenoid valve 1-6, solenoid valve 2-7 and solenoid valve 6-11. The liquid in compression tank 2 can flow into the compressed liquid pool 5 by its own weight. At the same time, the gas from the low-pressure gas source 12 enters compression tank 2 through check valve 2-15. The plunger pump 4 pumps the liquid into compression tank 3. The gas in compression tank 3 is compressed, and the compressed gas enters the high-pressure tank 13 through check valve 6-19 for storage;

[0046] Step 4: Open solenoid valve 1-6 and solenoid valve 6-11, close solenoid valve 2-7, solenoid valve 3-8, solenoid valve 4-9. The liquid in compression tank 3 can flow into the compressed liquid pool 5 by its own weight. At the same time, the gas from the low-pressure gas source 12 enters compression tank 3 through check valve 3-16. The plunger pump 4 pumps the liquid into compression tank 1. The gas in compression tank 1 is compressed, and the compressed gas enters the high-pressure tank 13 through check valve 4-17 for storage;

[0047] Step 5: Repeat Step 2, Step 3 and Step 4.

[0048] Embodiment 2

[0049] Refer to Figures 2 - 3 , and further optimize the solution. Compression tanks 1, 2 and 3 have the same structure. A baffle 38 and a floating plate 39 are arranged in compression tank 1. The outer diameter of baffle 38 is smaller than the inner diameter of compression tank 1. A rubber ring 40 is fixedly connected to the top end inside compression tank 1. The rubber ring 40 is inclined and abuts against baffle 38. A motor 41 is fixedly connected to compression tank 1. The motor 41 and the baffle 38 are connected by a lead screw-nut pair for transmission. A number of guide posts 42 are fixedly connected inside compression tank 1. A number of through holes are provided on both the baffle 38 and the floating plate 39, and the guide posts 42 are passed through the through holes.

[0050] The baffle 38 is in contact with the rubber ring 40. When the plunger pump 4 pumps liquid into the first compression tank 1, the gas in the first compression tank 1 is compressed. During the compression process, the gas basically does not pass through the check valve four 17. Even if a small amount of gas passes through the check valve four 17, it will not affect the gas pressure in the first compression tank 1. After the plunger pump 4 stops pumping liquid into the first compression tank 1, the motor 41 drives the lead screw nut pair to move, thereby driving the baffle 38 to move downward, separating the baffle 38 from the rubber ring 40 so that the high-pressure gas can enter the high-pressure tank 13 through the check valve four 17. The guide post 42 can prevent the baffle 38 from rotating, and the floating plate 39 can prevent the liquid from shaking violently when it enters the first compression tank 1. When the high-pressure gas in the first compression tank 1 gradually decreases, the solenoid valve four 9 can be opened to discharge the liquid in the first compression tank 1. Similarly, the second compression tank 2 and the third compression tank 3 are also operated in the same way.

[0051] For a further optimized solution, the lead screw nut pair includes a lead screw 43 and a nut 44. The lead screw 43 is rotatably connected to the first compression tank 1. The output shaft of the motor 41 is fixedly connected to the lead screw 43. The nut 44 is fixedly connected to the baffle 38. A retaining ring 45 is fixedly connected inside the first compression tank 1. The outer diameter of the floating plate 39 is larger than the inner diameter of the retaining ring 45. The lead screw 43 passes through the through hole on the floating plate 39.

[0052] There is no thread at the connection between the lead screw 43 and the first compression tank 1, and the lead screw 43 and the tank body of the first compression tank 1 are in sealed connection. Similarly, the second compression tank 2 and the third compression tank 3 are also the same. The retaining ring 45 prevents the floating plate 39 from fitting with the bottom surface of the first compression tank 1, avoiding the floating plate 39 getting stuck on the guide post 42 when the liquid enters the first compression tank 1. There is no connection between the lead screw 43 and the floating plate 39.

[0053] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "longitudinal", "transverse", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the present invention, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention.

[0054] The embodiments described above are only descriptions of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the scope of the present invention. Without departing from the design spirit of the present invention, various deformations and improvements made by those of ordinary skill in the art to the technical solutions of the present invention should all fall within the protection scope determined by the claims of the present invention.
