Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of gravity energy storage technology, and in particular to a continuously operating circulating device and a gravity energy storage system. Background Technology

[0002] Gravity energy storage is a method of storing energy using gravitational potential energy. Its basic principle is to lift gravity-generating blocks to a high place to store energy, and when energy needs to be released, these gravity-generating blocks are lowered to drive a generator to generate electricity.

[0003] Existing gravity energy storage devices suffer from several problems: First, current gravity energy storage systems cannot achieve continuous operation. The front-end mechanical input devices connected to the motor or generator start and stop intermittently, each start and stop significantly impacting the output power. This results in a "stepped, non-smooth" regulation characteristic for the charging or discharging power of gravity energy storage, making direct grid connection impossible. Furthermore, the large mass of the weighted blocks, typically tens of tons, and the sequential insertion and removal of these blocks cause power disturbances, leading to power quality issues. Second, the power generation and storage capacity of existing gravity energy storage devices are limited. Most current gravity energy storage power generation channels operate in a single channel, where only one weighted block drives the mechanical device and generator at any given time. The output power of this channel is limited by the weight and descent speed of this single weighted block. Limited by the space, materials, and economic constraints of the heavy blocks, their weight is limited to the tens of tons, making significant increases difficult. Furthermore, the operating speed of the channels carrying the heavy blocks is limited to single-digit m / s, mostly around 1-2 m / s, hindering qualitative improvements. Current methods for increasing power generally utilize multiple channels for coordinated power generation, using shaft systems to couple the mechanical devices of these channels to drive a high-power generator. However, this approach has several drawbacks: first, it increases equipment investment, leading to higher costs per unit power and reduced economic efficiency; second, the complex shaft system increases mechanical wear, reducing overall conversion efficiency; and third, in most gravity energy storage schemes, the load-bearing device corresponds one-to-one with the heavy block, preventing flexible scheduling of the heavy blocks, resulting in low equipment utilization and low cycle efficiency of the load-bearing device.

[0004] In summary, current gravity energy storage devices suffer from problems such as the inability to continuously and stably generate and store electricity, low working efficiency, and low equipment recycling rate.

[0005] Therefore, a continuously operating circulating device needs to be designed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of this, in order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a continuously operating circulating device and a gravity energy storage system, which effectively solves the problems of existing gravity energy storage devices being unable to continuously and stably generate and store electricity, having low working efficiency, and having low equipment recycling rate.

[0007] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a continuously operating circulating device is provided, which is connected to a conveying device and used for the cyclic transport of a heavy object body. The continuously operating circulating device includes a main frame, a load-bearing circulating section, a continuous triggering section, and a docking platform. The load-bearing circulating section, the continuous triggering section, and the docking platform are all disposed on the main frame, and the docking platform is connected to the conveying device. The load-bearing circulating section includes a drive chain and a load-bearing mechanism. The load-bearing mechanism includes a fixed part and a movable retaining part. The load-bearing mechanism is connected to the drive chain through the fixed part, and the movable retaining part... The fixed part is rotatably disposed on the fixed part to support the weight block body; the continuous triggering part is rotatably disposed on the main frame, and the continuous triggering part includes a contact rod. The projection of the contact rod in the vertical direction falls into the fixed part. When the bearing circulation part is connected with the continuous triggering part, the drive chain drives the bearing mechanism to move toward the continuous triggering part, and the fixed part pushes the contact rod to rotate so that the movable holding part receives the weight block body from the continuous triggering part or places the weight block body on the continuous triggering part.

[0008] Preferably, the movable retaining part includes a movable receiving plate, a receiving block, and a movable locking plate. The movable receiving plate is rotatably disposed on the fixed part, the receiving block is rotatably disposed at the end of the movable receiving plate, and the movable locking plate is movably disposed on the movable receiving plate. The movable locking plate can switch between a locked state and an unlocked state, and the receiving block can switch between a movable state and a fixed state. When the movable locking plate is in the locked state, the locking end of the movable locking plate abuts against the receiving block, so that the receiving block remains in a fixed state and supports the weight block body. When the movable locking plate is in the unlocked state, the locking end of the movable locking plate separates from the receiving block, so that the receiving block is in a movable state and the weight block body is lowered.

[0009] Preferably, the continuous triggering unit further includes a linkage unlocking mechanism. The linkage unlocking mechanism includes a linkage fixing plate, an end contact block, a first linkage rod, a second linkage rod, a third linkage rod, and a linkage rotating block.

The first linkage rod is rotatably disposed on the linkage fixing plate. The second end of the second linkage rod is movably disposed on the first end of the third linkage rod. The second end of the third linkage rod is rotatably connected to the linkage rotating block. The third linkage rod is movably disposed on the linkage fixing plate. The linkage rotating block is connected to the docking platform. When the docking platform moves, it drives the linkage rotating block to move, so that the third linkage rod, the second linkage rod, and the first linkage rod drive the end contact block to shift, thereby switching the end contact block between a positioning state and an offset state. When the end contact block is in the positioning state, it can abut against the linkage end of the movable locking plate, and the movable locking plate is in the unlocked state. When the end contact block is in the offset state, it separates from the linkage end of the movable locking plate, and the movable locking plate is in the locked state.

[0010] Preferably, the continuous triggering part includes a non-powered rotating assembly, which includes a non-powered rotating shaft, a triggering turntable, and a supporting turntable. The triggering turntable and the supporting turntable are both disposed on the non-powered rotating shaft. The triggering turntable and the supporting turntable both include the contact rod. The vertical projection of the contact rod of the triggering turntable falls into the fixed part, and the vertical projection of the contact rod of the supporting turntable falls into the movable holding part.

[0011] Preferably, the unpowered rotating assembly further includes a support group, which includes a support ratchet and a support pawl. The support ratchet is disposed on the unpowered rotating shaft, and the support pawl is rotatably disposed on the main frame. The support ratchet includes multiple teeth, and the support pawl can engage with adjacent teeth to allow the support ratchet to rotate in the same direction as the support turntable and lock rotation in opposite directions. The unpowered rotating assembly further includes a fall protection group, which includes a fall protection ratchet and a fall protection pawl. The fall protection ratchet is disposed on the unpowered rotating shaft, and the fall protection pawl is rotatably disposed on the main frame. The fall protection ratchet includes multiple teeth, the number of teeth of which is greater than the number of teeth of the support ratchet. The fall protection pawl can engage with adjacent teeth to allow the fall protection ratchet to rotate in the same direction as the support turntable and lock rotation in opposite directions.

[0012] Preferably, the contact rod of the trigger turntable is provided with a sliding wheel, and the side wall of the fixing part is also provided with a calibration component. The end of the calibration component is provided with a calibration groove, and the sliding wheel can pass through the calibration groove.

[0013] Preferably, the bearing circulation section further includes a limiting track assembly, which includes a vertical track group and a turning track group. The vertical track group is disposed on the main frame in the vertical direction, and the turning track group is disposed at both ends of the main frame in the vertical direction. The bearing mechanism is limited by the vertical track group to move in the vertical direction, and the bearing mechanism moves along the turning track group to realize the position switching of the bearing mechanism. The vertical track group includes a first vertical track body and a second vertical track body, and the turning track group includes a first turning track body and a second turning track body. A sliding gap is provided between the first turning track body and the second turning track body. The first vertical track body and the second vertical track body are respectively disposed at both ends of the first turning track body and the second turning track body in the vertical direction. The movable holding part reciprocates between the first vertical track body, the sliding gap, and the second vertical track body.

[0014] Preferably, the movable retaining part further includes a limiting wheel assembly, which passes through the fixing part and is disposed in the movable retaining part. The limiting wheel assembly includes a plurality of vertical track wheels and a plurality of steering track wheels. When the limiting wheel assembly is located in the vertical track assembly, the plurality of vertical track wheels and at least one steering track wheel jointly contact the vertical track assembly. When the limiting wheel assembly is located in the steering track assembly, the plurality of steering track wheels jointly contact the steering track assembly.

[0015] Preferably, the docking platform includes a height adjustment assembly, which includes a guide plate, a guide column, a docking frame, a cam bearing, a lead screw and slider mechanism, a drive motor, and a connecting platform. The docking frame is disposed on the main frame, and the lead screw and slider mechanism is disposed on the docking frame. The two ends of the guide column are respectively connected to the docking frame and the connecting platform. The guide plate is disposed between the docking frame and the connecting platform and is connected to the connecting platform. The guide plate has an inclined groove, and the cam bearing is disposed in the inclined groove. The lead screw and slider mechanism drives the cam bearing to change position, thereby changing the position of the guide plate and driving the guide column to rise and fall.

[0016] According to a second aspect of the present invention, a gravity energy storage system is provided, wherein the gravity energy storage system includes a conveying device and a continuously operating circulation device as described above, wherein the continuously operating circulation device is provided with a conveying device at both ends in the vertical direction, one of the conveying devices transports the weight block body to the continuously operating circulation device, and the continuously operating circulation device transports the weight block body to the other conveying device.

[0017] According to the continuous operation circulation device of the present invention, through the cooperation of the main frame, the bearing circulation part, the continuous triggering part and the docking platform, the bearing circulation part can receive or place the heavy block body from the continuous triggering part without stopping the machine, thereby solving the problem that existing gravity energy storage devices cannot continuously and stably generate and store electricity. Since the continuous operation circulation device can connect to the conveying devices of multiple conveying lines at the same time, the working efficiency of gravity energy storage can be improved. Since the bearing circulation part can accommodate multiple bearing mechanisms at the same time, the equipment recycling rate can be improved.

Detailed Implementation

[0036] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this application described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this application provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but merely represents selected embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0037] In the description of the embodiments of this application, it should be noted that the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly used when the product of this application is in use. They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application. In addition, the terms "first," "second," and "third," etc., are only used to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0038] Furthermore, terms such as "horizontal" and "vertical" do not imply that components must be absolutely horizontal or suspended, but rather that they can be slightly tilted. For example, "horizontal" simply means that its direction is more horizontal than "vertical," and does not mean that the structure must be completely horizontal, but can be slightly tilted.

[0039] In the description of the embodiments of this application, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "install," "connect," and "connect" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0040] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a continuously operating cyclic device is provided, such as... Figures 1 to 15 As shown, this continuously operating circulation device is used in a gravity energy storage system. It can dock with the conveying device 9 of the gravity energy storage system to connect to the heavy object body 10, enabling the heavy object body 10 to complete cyclic transportation. The continuously operating circulation device includes a main frame 1, a load-bearing circulation section 2, a continuous triggering section 3, and a docking platform 4.

[0041] In the following description, reference will be made to Figures 1 to 15 The detailed structure of the main frame 1, the circulation-supporting part 2, the continuous triggering part 3, and the connecting platform 4 of the continuously operating circulation device is described in detail.

[0042] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the main frame 1 can be assembled from steel to house the bearing circulation section 2, the continuous trigger section 3, and the docking platform 4. The assembly method can be welding or threaded connection using fastening bolts, depending on the location and requirements. The height of the main frame 1 can be selected according to the needs of the gravity energy storage system; for example, in this embodiment, the conveying device 9 includes components located at... Figure 1 The four conveyor lines in the middle and upper part and located in Figure 1 The four conveyor lines in the middle and lower part mean that the height of the main frame 1 needs to meet the requirements of the transportation of these conveyor lines and the height required for the heavy block body 10 to achieve gravity energy storage for power generation or energy storage.

[0043] The carrying circulation section 2, the continuous triggering section 3, and the connecting platform 4 are all mounted on the main frame 1. The mounting method can be, for example, welding or threaded connection using fastening bolts, depending on the specific situation and location. Since these assembly and connection methods are common technologies, they will not be described in detail in this embodiment. The connecting platform 4 is used to receive the heavy object block body 10 from the conveying device 9 or to transfer the heavy object block body 10 to the conveying device 9. The continuous triggering section 3 can carry the heavy object block body 10 (the connecting platform 4 transports the heavy object block body 10 to the continuous triggering section 3, or removes the heavy object block body 10 from the continuous triggering section 3). The continuous triggering section 3 can dock with and trigger the carrying circulation section 2, allowing the carrying circulation section 2 to continuously and continuously receive the heavy object block body 10 from the continuous triggering section 3, or place the heavy object block body 10 on the continuous triggering section 3. The bearing circulation unit 2 can move the weight block body 10 from a high position to a low position to achieve power generation in gravity energy storage, or move the weight block body 10 from a low position to a high position to achieve electricity storage in gravity energy storage. It should also be noted that the core movement principle of the bearing circulation unit 2 is the cooperation form of the sprocket and chain. The cooperation form of the sprocket and chain can adopt the form of the prior art. Therefore, in the embodiment, except for the improved structure or the structure that cooperates with the continuous triggering unit 3 and other mechanisms, other aspects such as the combination relationship of the shaft and the sprocket, the setting position of the shaft and the generator (motor), or the need to set a set of sprockets and shafts at the upper and lower ends of the main frame 1 to achieve the chain circulation, will not be described in detail. Those skilled in the art can fully obtain the structure shown in the embodiment and the accompanying drawings by combining the key technical content described in the embodiment with the prior art. Similarly, the settings, fixed connections, cooperation connections or movement methods described below, unless otherwise specified, can all be welding, common snap-fit, threaded connection or sliding connection of slide rail and slide rail. Since these are all settings that those skilled in the art can choose to set, they will not be described in detail. Furthermore, since the weight of the gravity-stored energy block 10 is usually quite large, the entire device can be designed with a symmetrical structure to ensure stable movement (setting). Figure 1 If the front view is taken as the left view of the entire device, then the left view of the device is formed as a symmetrical structure, that is, there are two drive chains 201, and one continuous trigger part 3 is also symmetrically arranged on each side, and is respectively arranged on both sides of the bearing mechanism 202. If the symmetrical structure is not specifically emphasized in the following description, then it should be understood in accordance with the common symmetrical arrangement structure known to those skilled in the art and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. These understandings are known to those skilled in the art and will not be repeated here.

[0044] Specifically, such as Figures 2 to 4As shown, the bearing circulation unit 2 includes a drive chain 201 and a bearing mechanism 202. The bearing mechanism 202 is used to support the heavy block body 10. The drive chain 201 and the bearing mechanism 202 can be fixed by a threaded connection (e.g., Figure 5 As shown, only the part of the drive chain 201 that is fixed to the support mechanism 202 is shown. In addition, in order to ensure the movement of the support mechanism 202, two drive chains 201 can be arranged side by side to form a symmetrical structure.

[0045] Furthermore, the supporting mechanism 202 includes a fixed part 203 and a movable retaining part 204. The fixed part 203 is driven by the drive chain 201, and its posture changes with the drive chain 201, so that the supporting mechanism 202 can pass through the two annular positions at the top and bottom of the supporting circulation part 2 without interference. The movable retaining part 204 directly supports the weight block body 10 and is rotatably disposed on the fixed part 203. Therefore, affected by its own weight and the weight block body 10, the movable retaining part 204 can always maintain a certain posture when the fixed part 203 changes posture, thereby preventing the weight block body 10 located on the movable retaining part 204 from falling off. See here for more details. Figures 11 to 13 The three states are used for understanding.

[0046] It is important to emphasize that, whether the supporting mechanism 202 is supporting the weight block 10 or placing the weight block 10 on the continuous triggering part 3, the supporting mechanism 202 always approaches the continuous triggering part 3 from below, that is, at... Figure 1 The drive chain 201 is always rotating clockwise.

[0047] Furthermore, the continuous triggering part 3 is rotatably mounted on the main frame 1. The continuous triggering part 3 includes a contact rod, the projection of which in the vertical direction falls into the fixing part 203, and the weight block body 10 is placed on the contact rod. The contact rod is the end rod of the trigger turntable 310 and the bearing turntable 311 described below. When the bearing circulation part 2 is connected to the continuous triggering part 3, the drive chain 201 drives the bearing mechanism 202 to move toward the continuous triggering part 3, and the fixing part 203 pushes the contact rod to rotate, so that the movable holding part 204 receives the weight block body 10 from the continuous triggering part 3 or places the weight block body 10 on the continuous triggering part 3. The continuous triggering part 3 rotates once when pushed by the fixing part 203, thereby causing the weight block body 10 located on the contact rod to fall into the bearing circulation part 2.

[0048] This continuously operating circulation device, through the cooperation of the main frame 1, the bearing circulation section 2, the continuous triggering section 3, and the connecting platform 4, enables the bearing circulation section 2 to receive or place the heavy block body 10 from the continuous triggering section 3 without stopping the machine, thereby solving the problem that existing gravity energy storage devices cannot continuously and stably generate and store electricity. Since this continuously operating circulation device can simultaneously connect to the conveying devices 9 of multiple conveying lines, it can improve the working efficiency of gravity energy storage. Since the bearing circulation section 2 can simultaneously accommodate multiple bearing mechanisms 202, it can improve the equipment recycling rate.

[0049] Preferably, such as Figures 4 to 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the movable retaining part 204 may include a movable receiving plate 205, a receiving block 206, and a movable locking plate 207. The movable receiving plate 205 is rotatably disposed on the fixed part 203. The movable receiving plate 205 can be rotatably mounted on the fixed part 203 through the cooperation of bearings and rotating shafts, thereby achieving the above-mentioned posture retention. The rotatably connected end may be located at... Figure 6 and Figure 7 The top of the middle. The receiving block 206 is rotatably disposed at the end of the movable receiving plate 205, and this end can be... Figure 6 and Figure 7 At the bottom end, the receiving block 206 is mounted in the rotating groove of the movable receiving plate 205 via a rotating shaft. A torsion spring is provided on the side of the receiving block 206, and the torsion spring is sleeved on the rotating shaft. The torsion spring has a certain limiting force, so that the receiving block 206 is always in a certain position when not affected by external forces. Figure 6 The horizontal receiving state shown is used to receive the weight block body 10. That is, the weight block body 10 is placed on the receiving block 206. If the receiving block 206 is locked, the movable retaining part 204 can be used to receive the weight block body 10. If the receiving block 206 is not locked, after the weight block body 10 is placed on the receiving block 206, due to the weight of the weight block body 10, it will directly break through the tension of the torsion spring, causing the receiving block 206 to rotate. The weight block body 10 cannot be placed on the movable retaining part 204, or fall off the movable retaining part 204. In addition, each movable retaining part 204 includes two receiving blocks 206. One movable retaining part 204 is provided on each of the left and right sides of a fixed part 203. The four receiving blocks 206 of the two movable retaining parts 204 are arranged opposite each other in pairs. The gap between the two opposite receiving blocks 206 is smaller than the size of the weight block body 10, so that the weight block body 10 can be locked and supported.

[0050] The movable locking plate 207 is movably mounted on the movable receiving plate 205. Two parallel pins are installed on the side of the movable receiving plate 205. The movable locking plate 207 has a groove through which the pins pass. The dimension of the end of the pin furthest from the movable receiving plate 205 is larger than the groove of the movable locking plate 207 to ensure limiting. The top surface of the movable locking plate 207 is connected to the side of the movable receiving plate 205 via a tension spring 208. The tension spring 208 normally operates as follows... Figure 7 As shown, Figure 6 The tension spring 208 is in a stretched state. The movable locking plate 207 is in... Figure 7 A pulley is provided at the left end of the device, which can slide in contact with the end contact block 304. If the end contact block 304 does not change position, it will push open the movable locking plate 207, causing the movable locking plate 207 to be in the position shown below. Figure 6 In the state shown, if the end contact block 304 changes position, the movable locking plate 207 will not contact the end contact block 304, and the movable locking plate 207 will be restricted by the tension spring 208, always locking the receiving block 206.

[0051] Thus, the movable locking plate 207 can be in the locked state (e.g.) Figure 7 (as shown) and unlock status (as shown) Figure 6 The receiving card block 206 can switch between active states (as shown in the figure) and active states (such as...). Figure 6 (as shown) and fixed state (such as) Figure 7 The movable locking plate 207 switches between the two states shown. When the movable locking plate 207 is in the locked state (at which time the two pulleys at the bottom of the movable locking plate 207 rest on the two receiving blocks 206 respectively), the locking end of the movable locking plate 207 (that is, the end with two pulleys) abuts against the receiving block 206, so that the receiving block 206 remains fixed and supports the heavy object block body 10. When the movable locking plate 207 is in the unlocked state (at which time the two pulleys of the movable locking plate 207 are separated from the two receiving blocks 206), the locking end of the movable locking plate 207 separates from the receiving block 206, so that the receiving block 206 is in the movable state and can lower the heavy object block body 10.

[0052] Preferably, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, in this embodiment, the continuous triggering unit 3 may further include a linkage unlocking mechanism 301. The linkage unlocking mechanism 301 includes a linkage fixing plate 303, an end contact block 304, a first linkage rod 305, a second linkage rod 306, a third linkage rod 307, and a linkage rotating block 308. The linkage fixing plate 303 is disposed on the main frame 1. There can be two linkage fixing plates 303, which respectively support the first linkage rod 305, the second linkage rod 306, and the third linkage rod 307, allowing these three to move freely. The two ends of the first linkage rod 305 are respectively connected to the end contact block 304 and the first end of the second linkage rod 306. The middle part of the first linkage rod 305 is rotatably disposed on the linkage fixing plate 303 via a bearing. The second end of the second linkage rod 306 is movably disposed on the first end of the third linkage rod 307. The first end of the third linkage rod 307 has a sliding groove, and the second end of the second linkage rod 306 is slidably disposed in the sliding groove via a bearing. The second end of the third linkage rod 307 is rotatably connected to the linkage rotating block 308. Both ends of the linkage rotating block 308 can be rotatably connected to the second end of the third linkage rod 307 and the forklift transplanter 408 of the connecting platform 4 via pins. A sliding groove is also provided in the middle of the third linkage rod 307. Two bearings are provided on the top of the linkage fixing plate 303 connected to the third linkage rod 307. Through the cooperation of the bearings and the sliding groove, the third linkage rod 307 is movably positioned on the top of the linkage fixing plate 303. Simultaneously, due to the limitation of the two bearings, the third linkage rod 307 can only move laterally left and right. Thus, when the forklift transplanter 408 of the connecting platform 4 moves, it drives the linkage rotating block 308 to move, causing the third linkage rod 307 to move laterally. This, in turn, causes the second linkage rod 306 and the first linkage rod 305 to rotate and shift, thereby causing the end contact block 304 to shift, so that the end contact block 304 is in a positioned state (e.g., Figure 8 (as shown) and offset state (as shown) Figure 9 Switching between (as shown), when the end contact block 304 is in the positioning state, the end contact block 304 can abut against the linkage end of the movable locking plate 207 (i.e., the one with the pulley). Figure 6 (Left end), the movable locking plate 207 is in the unlocked state (e.g.) Figure 6 (As shown); when the end contact block 304 is in the offset state, the end contact block 304 separates from the linkage end of the movable locking plate 207, and the movable locking plate 207 is in the locked state (as shown). Figure 7 (As shown).

[0053] Preferably, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 10As shown, in this embodiment, the continuous triggering unit 3 includes a non-powered rotating assembly 302. The non-powered rotating assembly 302 includes a non-powered rotating shaft 309, a triggering turntable 310, and a supporting turntable 311. Both the triggering turntable 310 and the supporting turntable 311 are disposed on the non-powered rotating shaft 309. Both the triggering turntable 310 and the supporting turntable 311 include contact rods. The vertical projection of the contact rod of the triggering turntable 310 falls into the fixing part 203, and the vertical projection of the contact rod of the supporting turntable 311 falls into the movable holding part 204. Both the triggering turntable 310 and the supporting turntable 311 can be formed into a cross-shaped structure, meaning that both the triggering turntable 310 and the supporting turntable 311 can include four contact rods. These four contact rods cause the supporting mechanism 202 to rotate the triggering turntable 310 and the supporting turntable 311 by ninety degrees each time it pushes a contact rod. Since the fixed part 203 is higher than the movable holding part 204 in the vertical direction, the trigger turntable 310 is the structure triggered by the fixed part 203, while the bearing turntable 311 is used to jointly support the weight block body 10. The two ends of the unpowered rotating shaft 309 are mounted to the main frame 1 through bearing seats. Its structure is a common rotating shaft mounting structure, which will not be described in detail here.

[0054] Preferably, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 10As shown, in this embodiment, the unpowered rotating assembly 302 further includes a support group, which may include a support ratchet 312 and a support pawl 313. The support ratchet 312 is disposed on the unpowered rotating shaft 309, and the support pawl 313 is rotatably disposed on the main frame 1. The support ratchet 312 includes multiple teeth, and the support pawl 313 can engage with adjacent teeth so that the support ratchet 312 can rotate in the same direction as the support turntable 311 and lock rotation in the opposite direction. The support ratchet 312 and the support pawl 313 cooperate to form a ratchet and pawl structure, which restricts the direction of rotation of the unpowered rotating shaft 309 and prevents the unpowered rotating shaft 309 from being subjected to other external forces and causing incorrect rotation. The non-powered rotating assembly 302 may further include a fall arrestor group, which may include a fall arrestor ratchet 314 and a fall arrestor pawl 315. The fall arrestor ratchet 314 is disposed on the non-powered rotating shaft 309, and the fall arrestor pawl 315 is rotatably disposed on the main frame 1. The fall arrestor ratchet 314 includes multiple teeth, and the number of teeth on the fall arrestor ratchet 314 is greater than the number of teeth on the supporting ratchet 312. The supporting ratchet 312 may be, for example, a quarter-tooth ratchet, and the fall arrestor ratchet 314 may be, for example, a twenty-four-tooth ratchet. The supporting ratchet 312 corresponds to the supporting turntable 311 and rotates 90 degrees each time. The fall arrestor pawl 315 can engage with the adjacent teeth so that the fall arrestor ratchet 314 can rotate in the same direction as the supporting turntable 311 and lock rotation in the opposite direction. The fall arrestor ratchet 314 can rotate 15 degrees each time. Thus, the rotation direction of the carrying ratchet 312 and the anti-fall ratchet 314 is set according to the movement of the carrying mechanism 202 (since it is a symmetrical structure, the rotation is counterclockwise on the left and clockwise on the right). The setting of the carrying ratchet 312 and the anti-fall ratchet 314 ensures the uniqueness of the direction of action, and will not reverse even when pushed by the gravity of the heavy block body 10 placed on it. The anti-fall ratchet 314 can ensure operational safety. If the unpowered rotating shaft 309 does not stop and be locked in the reverse direction after rotating 90 degrees, then relying solely on the carrying ratchet 312, the next time it will be locked will be when rotating 180 degrees. This does not meet the requirements of the process flow and also poses a safety hazard. With the anti-fall ratchet 314, it can be locked in the reverse direction at the 105-degree position. In addition, it also ensures that the rotation error of the shaft can be controlled within a smaller range and graduation value so that it can be corrected by other correction devices.

[0055] Preferably, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 10As shown, in this embodiment, the contact rod of the trigger turntable 310 is provided with a sliding wheel, and the side wall of the fixing part 203 is also provided with a calibration member 316. The end of the calibration member 316 is provided with a calibration groove. The calibration member 316 can be formed into a C-shaped structure extending from the side wall of the fixing part 203 toward the trigger turntable 310. The calibration groove is the inner groove of the C-shaped structure. The calibration groove can accommodate a sliding wheel. When the sliding wheel passes through the calibration groove, correction is achieved, so that the current position of the trigger turntable 310 is correct, and the next connection of the weight block body 10 can be in the correct working position.

[0056] Preferably, such as Figure 3 , Figures 11 to 14 As shown, in this embodiment, the carrying circulation part 2 further includes a limiting track assembly 5. The limiting track assembly 5 includes a vertical track group and a turning track group. The vertical track group is disposed on the main frame 1 in the vertical direction, and the turning track group is disposed at both ends of the main frame 1 in the vertical direction. The carrying mechanism 202 is limited by the vertical track group to move in the vertical direction, and the carrying mechanism 202 moves along the turning track group to realize the position switching of the carrying mechanism 202. Specifically, the vertical track group may include a first vertical track body 501 and a second vertical track body 502, and the turning track group may include a first turning track body 503 and a second turning track body 504. A sliding gap is provided between the first turning track body 503 and the second turning track body 504. The first vertical track body 501 and the second vertical track body 502 are respectively disposed at both ends of the first turning track body 503 and the second turning track body 504 in the vertical direction. The movable holding part 204 reciprocates between the first vertical track body 501, the sliding gap, and the second vertical track body 502.

[0057] Preferably, such as Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figures 11 to 14As shown, in this embodiment, the movable retaining part 204 further includes a limiting wheel assembly 6. The limiting wheel assembly 6 passes through the fixing part 203 and is disposed on the movable retaining part 204, that is, the limiting wheel assembly 6 and the movable retaining part 204 are respectively disposed on two opposite outer walls of the fixing part 203. The limiting wheel assembly 6 may include a plurality of vertical track wheels 601 and a plurality of steering track wheels 602. In this embodiment, there may be two vertical track wheels 601 and two steering track wheels 602, with the two vertical track wheels 601 and the two steering track wheels 602 facing each other. The two vertical track wheels 601 and the two steering track wheels 602 may together form a cross-shaped structure. However, it should be noted that the two vertical track wheels 601 and the two steering track wheels 602 are not on the same sliding surface. This is because, in this embodiment, the width of the sliding contact surface of the vertical track group is greater than the width of the sliding contact surface of the steering track group. This is because when the limiting wheel group 6 switches from the vertical track group to the steering track group, it avoids the vertical track wheels 601 contacting the steering track group, thus preventing interference. However, when sliding on the vertical track group, the two vertical track wheels 601 and one steering track wheel 602 can simultaneously contact the vertical track group, achieving three-point contact and ensuring stable movement. That is, when the limiting wheel group 6 is located in the vertical track group, multiple vertical track wheels 601 and at least one steering track wheel 602 jointly contact the vertical track group; when the limiting wheel group 6 is located in the steering track group, multiple steering track wheels 602 jointly contact the steering track group. The first steering track body 503 and the second steering track body 504 can be formed as a crescent-shaped plate and an annular plate, respectively, and are fixed to the auxiliary frame 505 by bolts. These two cooperate to form two annular guide tracks, which are the sliding gap between them and the upper annular edge of the crescent-shaped plate, respectively. The two annular guide tracks can be used for the sliding of the two steering track wheels 602. At the same time, the first steering track body 503 and the second steering track body 504 are not concentric. This is to ensure that the posture of the movable holding part 204 does not tilt when the supporting mechanism 202 changes direction at the top or bottom of the main frame 1, and that the weight block body 10 located on it does not fall. In addition, in order to ensure stable movement, the limiting track assembly 5 is also formed as a left-right symmetrical structure; in order to ensure circulation, two left-right symmetrical limiting track assemblies 5 are provided at the top and bottom of the main frame 1.

[0058] Preferably, such as Figure 3 and Figure 15As shown, in this embodiment, the connecting platform 4 may include a height adjustment component, which includes a guide plate 401, a guide column 402, a connecting frame 403, a cam bearing 404, a lead screw and slider mechanism 405, a drive motor 406, and a connecting platform 407. The connecting frame 403 is disposed on the main frame 1, and the lead screw and slider mechanism 405 is disposed on the connecting frame 403. The two ends of the guide column 402 are respectively connected to the connecting frame 403 and the connecting platform 407. The guide plate 401 is disposed between the connecting frame 403 and the connecting platform 407 and is connected to the connecting platform 407. The guide plate 401 has an inclined groove, and the cam bearing 404 is disposed in the inclined groove. The lead screw and slider mechanism 405 drives the cam bearing 404 to change position, thereby causing the guide plate 401 to change position and thus driving the guide column 402 to rise and fall. The drive motor 406 is connected to the lead screw of the lead screw-slider mechanism 405 via a coupling. The lead screw is connected to the nut. The rotation of the lead screw causes the nut to move left and right to change its position. The cam bearing 404 is located at both ends of the nut and is limited to the inclined groove of the guide plate 401. There are multiple guide posts 402, which are respectively located at the four corners of the connecting platform 407. The drive motor 406 can drive the connecting platform 407 to rise and fall. A forklift transplanter 408 is installed on the connecting platform 407 (only part of the structure is shown in the figure for example). The forklift transplanter 408 can be a device in the prior art, which can extend the forks to connect the heavy block body 10. The aforementioned linkage rotating block 308 is connected to the side wall of the forklift transplanter 408. When the forks of the forklift transplanter 408 extend, the linkage rotating block 308 is driven.

[0059] It should also be noted that the other structures not described in the embodiments, such as frames, bearing seats or couplings, are all provided to assist in installation. The shape of these structures is not limited. As long as the connection relationship and connection strength can be met, those skilled in the art can select appropriate shapes and assembly methods according to the usage scenario.

[0060] In addition, for the sake of describing the overall motion process, the conveying device 9 in the gravity energy storage system is also described herein. However, the conveying device 9 can adopt a structure from the prior art, so it is only described exemplary here. The conveying device 9 is not limited to the one described in the embodiment, and other structures can also be used. Figure 1As shown, a conveying device 9 can be installed at the upper and lower ends of the gravity energy storage system. These two conveying devices 9 have identical structures, and all structures are installed within a steel frame (not shown). In an embodiment, one conveying device 9 can include four conveyor lines, with one conveyor line corresponding to another. That is, the heavy block body 10 conveyed by the top conveyor 9 on the top conveyor line is transported to the bottom conveyor 9 on the top conveyor line (or vice versa, the heavy block body 10 is used for energy storage from bottom to top and for power generation from top to bottom). Each conveyor line can consist of a conveyor belt, conveyor chain, conveyor plate, or conveyor roller assembly, and is driven by a motor, thereby enabling the heavy block body 10 located at the top to move along the top conveyor line. Figure 1 The heavy block body 10 at the middle left end is transported to Figure 1 At the right end of the conveyor belt, the forklift transplanter 408 on the connecting platform 4 then transfers the heavy block body 10 to the continuous triggering unit 3. Multiple heavy block bodies 10 can exist on one conveyor belt at the same time. Each conveyor line is equipped with a continuous triggering unit 3 and a connecting platform 4.

[0061] The key operational processes of this continuous operation circulation device consist of three steps: the picking process, the storage process, and the transportation process on the connecting platform 4.

[0062] Retrieval Process: During retrieval, the forklift transplanter 408 extends towards the carrying mechanism 202 but does not immediately retract. Instead, it drives the linkage rotating block 308, causing the end contact block 304 to shift. At this time, the weight block body 10 is supported by the contact rods of the trigger turntable 310 and the carrying turntable 311 (the contact rod supporting the weight block body 10 is flush with the ground) (support is achieved through ratchet and pawl). Then, the carrying mechanism 202 rises from below. At the instant the receiving block 206 contacts the weight block body 10, the calibration component 316 on the side wall of the fixing part 203 simultaneously contacts the sliding wheel at the end of the trigger turntable 310. At this time, the movable locking plate 207 is in the position as... Figure 7 As shown, the receiving block 206 is locked. Therefore, as the carrying mechanism 202 continues to climb, the weight block body 10 is lifted by the receiving block 206 and moves away from the trigger turntable 310 and the carrying turntable 311. From the top view, the trigger turntable 310 and the carrying turntable 311 are offset from the four receiving blocks 206 (two on each side) to avoid interference. As the carrying mechanism 202 climbs further, the fixing part 203 pushes the contact rod of the trigger turntable 310, causing the unpowered rotating shaft 309 to rotate ninety degrees. The picking process ends when the sliding wheel of the trigger turntable 310 slides out of the groove of the calibration component 316.

[0063] Inventory Process: During inventory, the carrying mechanism 202 carries the weight block body 10 from below the continuous triggering unit 3. The inventory process begins once the calibration component 316 contacts the sliding of the trigger turntable 310. Similarly, the fixing unit 203 pushes the contact rod of the trigger turntable 310 to rotate 90 degrees. During this process, the next contact rod of the pushed trigger turntable 310 will contact the bottom surface of the weight block body 10 at a specific moment as the rotation proceeds, and generate a lifting force on the weight block body 10. After rotating exactly 90 degrees, the next contact rod is in a horizontal state and supports the weight block body 10. Meanwhile, because the forklift transplanter 408 is not extended, i.e., the linkage rotating block 308 is not pushed and the end contact block 304 is not offset, the movable receiving plate 205 is pushed open by the end contact block 304 (here the contact surface of the end contact block 304 is an inclined surface, so the pushing process of the movable receiving plate 205 is smooth and stable), thereby keeping the movable retaining part 204 in such a position as Figure 6 In the state shown, the four receiving blocks 206 cannot withstand the weight of the heavy block body 10, while the supporting mechanism 202 is still in a climbing state. Therefore, the heavy block body 10 causes the four receiving blocks 206 to overcome the torque of the torsion spring and fall onto the trigger turntable 310 and the supporting turntable 311, allowing the supporting mechanism 202 to successfully lower the heavy block body 10 away. After the heavy block body 10 is supported by the trigger turntable 310 and the supporting turntable 311, it no longer moves with the supporting mechanism 202. When the receiving blocks 206 are no longer in contact with the heavy block body 10, the storage process ends.

[0064] The handling process of platform 4: Figure 1 When transporting from left to right, the forklift transplanter 408 extends its forks to the left to below the heavy block body 10, and the drive motor 406 operates (for example, rotating forward), causing the forklift transplanter 408 located on the connecting platform 407 to lift up and support the heavy block body 10. Then, the forklift transplanter 408 moves its forks to the right and moves the heavy block body 10 above the trigger turntable 310 and the bearing turntable 311. Then, the drive motor 406 reverses, and the forklift transplanter 408 and the heavy block body 10 it supports descend together, placing the heavy block body 10 on the contact rod of the trigger turntable 310 and the bearing turntable 311 until the forks disengage from the heavy block body 10.

[0065] The entire operational process for gravity energy storage of this continuously operating circulating device (based on the aforementioned picking process, storage process, and handling process of docking platform 4) is as follows:

[0066] When the entire equipment is in power generation mode, located at Figure 1The top conveyor 9 is filled with heavy block bodies 10. Then, the top conveyor 9 transports the heavy block bodies 10 from each layer of the conveyor line to the left side of the corresponding connecting platform 4. The connecting platform 4 then moves the heavy block bodies 10 to the continuous triggering unit 3. The carrying mechanism 202 then climbs up from below and enters the "retrieval process." After completing this process, it takes away the heavy block bodies 10, continues climbing, changes direction (from left to right) via the turning track group, descends, and then returns to the left side via the bottom turning track group, reaching the corresponding bottom continuous triggering unit 3 to enter the "storage process." After this process, the corresponding connecting platform 4 moves the heavy block bodies 10 to the conveyor line of the bottom conveyor 9. The conveyor line then transports one heavy block body 10 to the left, moving one position to the left each time a heavy block body 10 is received, until the entire layer of heavy block bodies 10 is filled.

[0067] When the entire equipment is in energy storage mode, located at Figure 1 The bottom conveyor 9 is filled with heavy block bodies 10. Similarly, the bottom conveyor 9 transports one heavy block body 10 to the right side at a time to the left side of the corresponding connecting platform 4. Then, the connecting platform 4 moves the heavy block body 10 to the continuous triggering part 3 of each layer. After that, the carrying mechanism 202 climbs up from below and enters the "picking process", and continues to climb to the position of the conveyor line of the corresponding top conveyor 9, and enters the "storage process". After the process is completed, the connecting platform 4 will move the heavy block body 10 to the conveyor line and transport it to one position on the left side in sequence until the layer is full.

[0068] It should also be noted that during the power generation process, the power of the entire bearing circulation section 2, except when the equipment is first started and requires the generator in the gravity energy storage system, is otherwise supplied by controlling the number of weight blocks 10 on both sides of the equipment, so that the right side ( Figure 1 The total weight of the main body 10 of the heavy block in the middle is greater than that on the left side, so that the unidirectional circulation of the entire bearing circulation section 2 can be maintained.

[0069] This continuously operating circulation device, through the cooperation of the main frame, the bearing circulation section, the continuous triggering section, and the docking platform, enables the bearing circulation section to receive or place heavy blocks from the continuous triggering section without stopping the machine. This solves the problem that existing gravity energy storage devices cannot continuously and stably generate and store electricity. Since this continuously operating circulation device can connect to the conveying devices of multiple conveying lines at the same time, it can improve the working efficiency of gravity energy storage. And since the bearing circulation section can accommodate multiple bearing mechanisms at the same time, it can improve the equipment recycling rate.

[0070] In addition, such as Figure 1As shown, according to a second aspect of the present invention, a gravity energy storage system is provided, the gravity energy storage system comprising a continuously operating circulation device and a conveying device 9 as described above.

[0071] Finally, it should be noted that the above-described embodiments are merely specific implementations of this application, used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and not to limit them. The protection scope of this application is not limited thereto. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that any person skilled in the art can still modify or easily conceive of changes to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features, within the technical scope disclosed in this application. Such modifications, changes, or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application, and should all be covered within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this application should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
