Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of energy supply technology for new energy vehicles, and in particular to a power supply and heating system and method for new energy vehicles that integrates photovoltaic and photothermal functions. Background Technology

[0002] With the transformation of the global energy structure and the advancement of carbon neutrality goals, the rapid development of new energy vehicles has become an important path to alleviate the energy crisis and environmental pollution. However, currently, new energy vehicles still mainly rely on external charging pile systems for energy replenishment, which suffers from problems such as low charging efficiency and uneven distribution of charging infrastructure, making it difficult to meet users' immediate energy needs in long-distance travel or remote areas. Meanwhile, in-vehicle hot water supply systems have been initially applied in some high-end RVs, with common technologies including electric heating and engine waste heat recovery. However, these methods generally suffer from high power consumption, low energy utilization efficiency, and insufficient drinking water safety, making them unsuitable for ordinary passenger cars and new energy vehicles with limited size and energy consumption. Furthermore, traditional in-vehicle hot water systems often fail to effectively utilize solar energy, ignoring the enormous potential of solar energy absorbed by the vehicle's surface area.

[0003] In recent years, with the development of perovskite photovoltaic technology, semi-transparent perovskite solar cells have gradually become the preferred material for building-integrated photovoltaics and mobile energy systems due to their high photoelectric conversion efficiency, adjustable transmittance, and good flexible processing performance. By further adding a photothermal conversion module to the photovoltaic module, which allows infrared light to pass through, the spectral frequency division and cascade utilization of solar energy can be achieved, significantly improving the overall energy efficiency of the system. Furthermore, given the high requirements for drinking water hygiene, safety, and antifreeze performance in vehicle environments, current technologies lack integrated, intelligent, and highly integrated photovoltaic-photothermal-drinking water system solutions, especially lacking a low-carbon solution that utilizes solar energy to provide hot water while ensuring drinking water safety. Existing systems generally suffer from functional fragmentation, heat waste, insufficient drinking water safety guarantees, and slow system response.

The high-transmittance, high-strength glass protective layer uses 3mm thick ultra-clear tempered glass with a light transmittance of 92%, effectively resisting the impact of gravel in the wild. The semi-transparent perovskite photovoltaic power generation module layer uses a MAPbI3 perovskite light-absorbing layer with a structure of FTO / ETL / MAPbI3 / HTL / ITO. By adjusting the halogen ratio, its light transmittance is set to 45%, and the conversion efficiency reaches 16%. The color is dark gray, which is coordinated with the overall style of the off-road vehicle.

[0079] The optical control interlayer is made of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and features an internal microstructure prism array to focus transmitted near-infrared light, enhancing photothermal conversion. The water circulation chamber of the fluid heat transfer layer is made of 5mm thick transparent polycarbonate with a serpentine internal flow channel. After CFD optimization, the heat exchange efficiency is improved by 15%. The heat storage medium is deionized water with added carbon nanotubes, and the phase change heat storage unit uses paraffin wax with a heat storage density of 220kJ / kg, capable of stabilizing the water temperature at 60-75℃. The bottom high-transmittance glass insulation layer is made of 2mm thick high borosilicate glass, providing excellent thermal insulation performance.

[0080] The drinking water supply subsystem has a 15L water storage chamber with an inner wall made of food-grade 316L stainless steel and an outer wall consisting of a lightweight aluminum alloy frame with a polyurethane insulation layer. The polyurethane insulation layer has a thermal conductivity of 0.028W / m·K. The water inlet is located on the left side of the trunk and is equipped with a quick-release food-grade silicone sealing cap. It also comes standard with an external filter cartridge containing activated carbon and a 0.1μm ultrafiltration membrane for convenient filtration when using natural water sources in the wild. The water outlet is located below the center console inside the vehicle and is controlled by an electric valve, providing hot water at the set temperature within 3 seconds. It is also equipped with a child lock.

[0081] In the intelligent energy management module, the MPPT controller has an efficiency of 98.5%, and the energy storage system uses a solid-state lithium battery with an energy density of 320Wh / kg, while also being equipped with a 500F backup supercapacitor. The PT100 temperature sensor in the thermal management unit monitors the water temperature in real time and adjusts the water pump flow rate to approximately 1.2L / min.

[0082] The windows utilize a flexible perovskite film combined with WO3 electrochromic technology, allowing the light transmittance to be dynamically adjusted between 10% and 80%. When camping in the wild, the light transmittance can be adjusted to 10% to ensure privacy; while driving, it can be adjusted to 60% to ensure clear visibility.

[0083] In terms of system connectivity, the photovoltaic layer is connected to the vehicle body via conductive adhesive and a waterproof sealing ring, achieving an IP67 protection rating and capable of withstanding rainy conditions in the wild. The water circulation pipeline uses quick-release silicone hoses with leak-proof interfaces, facilitating simple repairs in the field.

[0084] In clear weather conditions outdoors, the system can generate up to 7 kWh of electricity per day, providing sufficient power for the off-road vehicle's onboard refrigerator, lighting, and other equipment. Excess electricity is stored in a solid-state lithium battery, enabling the vehicle to travel approximately 30 kilometers in emergency situations. The solar thermal conversion module can produce 25 liters of hot water per day, enough for 2-3 people in the off-road vehicle for drinking and washing. In winter mode, the hot water circulates to the vehicle's heating system, accelerating the warm-up process by 20%. In summer mode, excess heat is dissipated through the roof's cooling fins, preventing overheating.

[0085] Example 4 like Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment has a structure that is basically the same as the above embodiments. This embodiment is applicable to the integrated photovoltaic and solar thermal system of new energy RVs. It is designed specifically for new energy RVs and focuses on the comfort and practicality of the system to meet the power supply, heating and hot water needs of RV users during their travels.

[0086] In the five-layer composite structure of the vehicle's roof, the high-transmittance, high-strength glass protective layer uses 4mm thick ultra-clear laminated tempered glass with a light transmittance of 93% and excellent impact resistance. The semi-transparent perovskite photovoltaic module layer uses Cs... x FA 1-x Pb(I y Br 1-y 3. Perovskite light-absorbing layer, with a structure of FTO / ETL / Cs x FA 1-x Pb (I y Br 1-y )3 / HTL / AgNWs, with a light transmittance of 50% and a conversion efficiency of 17%, and an amber color, adding a unique appearance style to the RV.

[0087] The optical control interlayer is a transparent polycarbonate sheet with no special internal structure, primarily serving to transmit light and provide support. The water circulation chamber of the fluid heat transfer layer is made of 8mm thick tempered glass, with an internal microchannel structure for high heat exchange efficiency. The heat storage medium is deionized water, and the phase change heat storage unit uses Na2SO4·10H2O molten salt with a heat storage density of 210kJ / kg, capable of maintaining the water temperature at 50-80℃. The bottom uses an opaque glass fiber reinforced plastic sheet, providing both insulation and load-bearing capacity.

[0088] The drinking water supply subsystem has a 20L water storage chamber with an inner wall made of high borosilicate glass for easy monitoring of water quality. The outer wall is a lightweight aluminum alloy frame with a polyurethane insulation layer, boasting a thermal conductivity of 0.025W / m·K. The water inlet is located on the right side of the vehicle, supporting direct filling from large water containers. Water outlets are located in the kitchen and restrooms, both controlled by electric valves with adjustable temperatures. The kitchen outlet is set to 55℃ for direct drinking, while the restroom outlet is set to 70℃ for washing and rinsing.

[0089] The intelligent energy management module features a 99% efficiency MPPT controller, an energy storage system using solid-state lithium batteries with an energy density of 310Wh / kg, and an 800F backup supercapacitor, capable of meeting the instantaneous startup needs of high-power devices such as air conditioners in the RV. The thermal management unit's PT100 temperature sensor monitors the water temperature in real time, and the water pump flow rate automatically adjusts between 0.8-1.8L / min based on the water temperature.

[0090] The windows utilize a flexible perovskite film combined with electrochromic technology, allowing for dynamic adjustment of light transmittance from 10% to 80%. When the RV is parked and resting, the light transmittance can be adjusted to 20% to create a comfortable resting environment; when driving, it can be adjusted to 70% to ensure good visibility.

[0091] For system connectivity, the photovoltaic layer is connected to the vehicle body via conductive adhesive and a waterproof sealing ring, achieving an IP67 protection rating. The water circulation pipeline uses quick-release silicone hoses with leak-proof interface design, facilitating regular maintenance of the RV.

[0092] Under sufficient sunlight, this system can generate up to 8 kWh of electricity per day, enough to meet the daily power needs of the RV, including air conditioning, television, and kitchen appliances. The solar thermal conversion module can produce 30 liters of hot water per day, meeting the RV user's drinking and washing needs. In winter, the hot water is circulated to the vehicle's heating system, reducing energy consumption for heating; in summer, excess heat is dissipated through the roof's cooling fins, keeping the interior cool. The UV-LED sterilization module automatically activates for 10 minutes daily, achieving a 99.95% sterilization rate, ensuring safe and hygienic drinking water.

[0093] This invention achieves highly efficient cascaded utilization of solar energy, resulting in high overall energy efficiency. Through spectral frequency division technology, the system can effectively utilize over 85% of solar radiation energy, increasing the overall solar energy utilization rate to over 80%. It enhances the vehicle's energy self-sufficiency, improves adaptability in complex scenarios such as those without external power or in extreme climates, and provides a continuous energy supply. Dynamically adjusting light transmittance and a fast system response improve user comfort and ease of use. It ensures drinking water safety by solving the hygiene and antifreeze issues of onboard hot water systems, achieving safe water supply in all seasons. The invention features a highly integrated structure, supports modular disassembly and assembly, improves maintenance convenience and vehicle integration, and facilitates large-scale application.
