Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of thermal energy storage technology, specifically to a cylindrical solid-state electric thermal energy storage device capable of achieving point-to-point control of the temperature field of the thermal energy storage body. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional square heat storage structures cannot achieve point-to-point temperature control within the internal temperature field; the overall temperature rises and falls uniformly without localized temperature control. Because square heat storage structures lack a mechanism to ensure uniform airflow through each heat exchange hole, when large-scale vortices form internally, the resulting vacuum zone at the center leads to localized high temperatures within the heat storage structure, preventing heat release. Furthermore, the windward side of the heat storage structure cannot maintain uniform temperature, indirectly hindering the full utilization of its heat storage capacity. This invention employs a cylindrical heat storage structure to achieve point-to-point temperature control within the heat storage structure, thereby improving its heat storage utilization rate and safety. Summary of the Invention

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for explaining the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.
[0021] Specific implementation method one: Combining Figures 1 to 3 This embodiment describes a cylindrical solid-state electric thermal energy storage device capable of localized temperature field control of the thermal energy storage body. The device includes a thermal energy storage body 4, an insulating shell 6, an open-circuit hood 7, a base 9, and a drive mechanism.

By rotating the slot 71 of the middle perforated hood 7 in a directional manner, the internal airflow channel is rebalanced, and the temperature of the windward side of the heat storage body is regulated by releasing heat at a fixed point.
[0023] In this embodiment, a duplex structure of internal and external air ducts is achieved by adding an open-hole hood 7, and the duplex structure enables the equipment to release heat at a fixed point.

[0033] The undisclosed technical features in this embodiment are the same as those in Specific Embodiment Five.
[0034] In this embodiment, the rolling ring groove 91 can provide guidance and limit for the rotation of the perforated hood 7. At the same time, the rolling connection between the perforated hood 7 and the rolling ring groove 91 can reduce the rotational resistance of the perforated hood 7 and reduce energy consumption.
[0035] Specific implementation method seven: Combination Figures 1 to 3 This embodiment describes a drive mechanism that includes a servo motor and an actuator 8. The actuator 8 includes a drive shaft 81, a gear 82, and a ring rack 83. The drive shaft 81 passes through the side wall of the insulation shell 6. The outer end of the drive shaft 81 is connected to the output shaft of the servo motor. The gear 82 is fixedly connected to the inner end of the drive shaft 81. The ring rack 83 is fitted and fixedly connected to the outer side of the perforated shroud 7. The gear 82 and the ring rack 83 mesh with each other.
[0036] The undisclosed technical features in this embodiment are the same as those in Specific Embodiment 1.
[0037] In this embodiment, the servo motor drives the perforated shroud 7 to rotate through the actuator 8. The output shaft of the servo motor drives the drive shaft 81 to rotate, and the drive shaft 81 drives the gear 82 to rotate. The gear 82 meshes with the ring rack 83, thereby driving the ring rack 83 to rotate, thus realizing the rotation of the perforated shroud 7.
[0038] In this embodiment, the servo motor can be driven manually or by other power equipment.
[0039] Specific implementation method eight: Combination Figures 1 to 3 This embodiment describes a heat storage body 4 that is cylindrical in shape.
[0040] The undisclosed technical features in this embodiment are the same as those in Specific Embodiment 1.
[0041] Specific Implementation Method Nine: Combining Figures 1 to 3In this embodiment, the heat storage body 4 has a through hole 41 in the middle along the axial direction, and multiple slot groups are arranged in parallel along the axial direction on the side wall of the heat storage body 4. Each slot group includes slots 42 evenly distributed along the circumferential direction, and each slot 42 is arranged in the radial direction.
[0042] The undisclosed technical features in this embodiment are the same as those in specific embodiment eight.
[0043] In this embodiment, the heat storage body 4 is constructed as a layered, hollowed-out cylindrical sleeve structure. The slot 42 is connected to the through hole 41, and the through hole 41 is connected to the air outlet 5.
[0044] Specific Implementation Method Ten: Combining Figures 1 to 3 This embodiment describes an embodiment in which an electric heating wire is provided inside the slot 42.
[0045] The undisclosed technical features in this embodiment are the same as those in specific embodiment nine.
[0046] In this embodiment, the heat storage body 4 has through slots 42 arranged around its circumference, through which the electric heating wire passes. Each slot 42 serves as both a basic heating unit and a basic heat dissipation unit.
[0047] Working principle
[0048] The air inlet 1 is connected to the outer air cavity 2. The outer air cavity 2 is connected to the inner air cavity 3 through the slot 71 on the perforated air cover 7. The inner air cavity 3 is connected to the outer end of the slot 42. The inner end of the slot 42 is connected to the through hole 41. The through hole 41 is connected to the air outlet 5.
[0049] When the equipment is storing heat, the electric heating wire is activated, and electrical energy is converted into heat energy and stored in the heat storage body 4. At this time, the perforated hood 7 does not rotate and mainly serves to keep the temperature warm.
[0050] When the equipment needs to release heat, cold air enters the outer air cavity 2 through the air inlet 1. It does not directly contact the heat storage body 4, but flows along the flow channel of the outer air cavity 2 until it flows into the slot 71 of the perforated hood 7, enters the inner air cavity 3, flows through the heat storage body 4 for heat exchange, and the hot air carrying heat leaves the device through the air outlet 5. As the position of the slot 71 changes, cold air can be delivered to any outer surface of the heat storage body 4. In the initial stage of heat release, the perforated hood 7 can rotate at a uniform speed, while in the later stage of heat release, the perforated hood 7 can rotate to the highest temperature point to achieve directional heat exchange.

Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of the invention.
