Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of radiation energy conversion device technology, specifically a concentrating radiation energy conversion device. Background Technology

[0002] The need for thermal insulation in outdoor environments manifests in several ways. For example, during outdoor camping, fieldwork, and polar expeditions, people often need to keep food warm, provide hot water, or maintain a warm environment. Especially in cold climates, traditional heating methods, such as portable fuel heaters, not only generate pollution but also pose safety hazards. Therefore, using solar concentrating heating technology to provide convenient, pollution-free, and economical thermal energy has become an important research direction.

[0003] Traditional concentrating radiation energy conversion devices have fixed or difficult-to-adjust focal points, making it impossible to guarantee efficient light concentration under different lighting conditions. At the same time, traditional concentrating radiation energy conversion devices can generally only be used for heating or power generation, which is limited in purpose and cannot meet multiple energy needs at the same time, resulting in low energy utilization. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the technical problems in the background art, the present invention discloses a concentrating radiation energy conversion device.

[0005] This invention provides a concentrating radiation energy conversion device, including a base, on which are disposed: The columns extend vertically. The reflector is elastic, with its middle part fitted onto the column and able to slide up and down to reflect sunlight; the portions of the reflector located on opposite sides of the column are respectively designated as the first curved portion and the second curved portion. The fastener is the part used to secure the reflector to the post. The first electric cylinder is located on one side of the column; the cylinder body of the first electric cylinder is hinged to the base and can move linearly along the length of the reflector; the drive end of the first electric cylinder is hinged to the bottom of one end of the reflector and is used to drive the first bending part to bend, and can be bent into different arcs. The second electric cylinder is located on the other side of the column; the cylinder body of the second electric cylinder is hinged to the base and can move linearly along the length of the reflector; the drive end of the second electric cylinder is hinged to the bottom of the other end of the reflector and is used to drive the second bending part to bend, and can be bent into different arcs. A photovoltaic energy storage component is installed on a column at the focal point of the first or second bend for energy storage. A photothermal assembly, mounted on a column and located at the focal point of the first or second bend, is used for heating; The focal points of the first and second bends may coincide or be arranged vertically.

[0006] Furthermore, the reflector and post are replaced by a snap-fit ​​structure instead of fasteners; The snap-fit ​​structure includes a column consisting of four uprights, the positions of which form a square, and the end faces of the uprights are rectangular. The snap-fit ​​structure also includes a socket hole set on the reflector for attaching the upright; the socket hole is rectangular and fits the upright with a clearance. The snap-fit ​​structure also includes a first electric cylinder and a second electric cylinder, the lower end of which is located outside the reflector and the driving direction always forms an acute angle with the horizontal plane.

[0007] Furthermore, clamping assemblies are provided at the outer ends of both the first and second curved portions; The clamping assembly includes a fixing plate located on the upper side of the reflector, and clamping blocks are provided on the lower sides of both ends of the fixing plate, which are connected and fixed to the fixing plate by fasteners; The two ends of the reflector are clamped between the fixed plate and the clamping block; Horizontally arranged hinge rods connect the clamping blocks on the same side; The drive ends of the first and second electric cylinders are hinged to the hinge rod.

[0008] Furthermore, the height of the photovoltaic energy storage components and the photovoltaic thermal components is adjustable.

[0009] Furthermore, the upright is provided with an elongated hole that runs through both the left and right sides; The elongated holes are arranged vertically along their length. The support rod is horizontally inserted into the oblong hole, and its two ends are locked and fixed by locking nuts; The part of the support rod located inside the upright supports the photovoltaic energy storage module or the photothermal module.

[0010] Furthermore, the photothermal assembly includes transparent, horizontally arranged heat-receiving tubes; The heated components are placed inside the heated pipes.

[0011] Furthermore, both ends of the hinge rod are hinged to the base with a first connecting rod and a second connecting rod. The upper end of the first link is hinged to the hinge rod; The lower end of the first link is hinged to the upper end of the second link; The lower end of the second link is hinged to the base.

[0012] Furthermore, a sliding groove is provided on the upper surface of the base; The cylinder bodies of the first and second electric cylinders are hinged to the slider; The slider engages within the slide groove; The bolt passes through the slider and presses against the bottom of the groove.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this invention are: 1. By incorporating a flexible reflector and independently driving the first and second curved sections at both ends of the reflector using a first and a second electric cylinder, respectively, the curvature and shape of the reflector can be dynamically adjusted. Furthermore, by adjusting the height of the reflector, the positions of the first and second electric cylinders can be adjusted, thereby precisely controlling the position of the focusing point. This structure allows the device to adjust its focusing state in real time according to environmental changes such as solar altitude angle and light intensity, ensuring efficient light concentration under different times and climatic conditions, significantly improving the utilization efficiency of solar energy.

[0014] 2. The device integrates photovoltaic energy storage components and photovoltaic thermal components on the same column and arranges them at the focal point of the first or second bend, which can perform simultaneous heating, simultaneous energy storage, or simultaneous energy storage and heating, making it more practical.

[0015] 3. The overall structure is stable and easy to assemble, disassemble, and transport. It is especially suitable for outdoor scenarios with high portability requirements, such as camping, fieldwork, and polar exploration, and has good practicality and promotional value.

[0016] 4. Using solar energy as the sole energy source eliminates the need for fuel combustion, completely removing the exhaust emissions, open flame hazards, and fuel storage risks associated with traditional heating methods. This achieves a clean, safe, and sustainable energy supply, aligning with the green and low-carbon development trend.

[0017] 5. Photovoltaic energy storage components convert energy into electrical energy and store it, which can be used as a reserve energy source when there is no solar energy, thus realizing flexible and full utilization of energy. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the invention.

[0021] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this invention discloses a concentrating radiation energy conversion device, including a horizontally arranged base 1; a vertically arranged column 2 is provided at the center of the base 1. The column 2 consists of four uprights arranged in a square, and the end faces of the uprights are rectangular.

[0022] A rectangular reflector 3 is fitted with a column 2 at its center. Specifically, four rectangular fitting holes 33 are provided at the center of the reflector 3, and the fitting holes 33 fit the column with a clearance fit. In this configuration, the column 2 divides the reflector 3 into two parts: a first curved section 31 and a second curved section 32. Furthermore, the arrangement of the four columns makes the portion of the reflector 3 located between the columns an independent part, ensuring that deformation of the first curved section 31 does not affect the structural stability of the second curved section 32, and vice versa. In this embodiment, the reflector 3 is made of aluminum foil, which is soft and has good ductility.

[0023] A first electric cylinder 4 and a second electric cylinder 5 are respectively installed on the base 1 on both sides of the reflector 3. A groove 16 extending along the length of the reflector 3 is provided on the upper side of the base 1. A slider 15 is hinged to the lower end of the cylinder bodies of the first electric cylinder 4 and the second electric cylinder 5. The slider 15 is engaged within the groove 16, enabling directional movement and thus changing the horizontal position of the first electric cylinder 4 and the second electric cylinder 5. Bolts, using threaded connections, pass through the slider 15 and abut against the bottom of the groove 16, allowing the slider 15 to be fixed after its position is adjusted.

[0024] The driving ends of the first electric cylinder 4 and the second electric cylinder 5 are respectively hinged to one end of the reflector 3. The specific hinge structure is as follows: the outer ends of the first bending part 31 and the second bending part 32 are provided with clamping assemblies; the clamping assemblies include a fixing plate 8 located on the upper side of the reflector 3, and clamping blocks 9 are provided on the lower sides of both ends of the fixing plate 8, which are connected and fixed to the fixing plate 8 by bolts; the two ends of the reflector 3 are clamped between the fixing plate 8 and the clamping blocks 9; a horizontally arranged hinge rod 10 is connected between the clamping blocks 9 on the same side; the driving ends of the first electric cylinder 4 and the second electric cylinder 5 are hinged to the hinge rod 10. When the driving end of the electric cylinder extends, it can drive the first bending part 31 or the second bending part 32 to bend upward; by adjusting the distance of the extension of the driving end of the electric cylinder, the bending amplitude of the first bending part 31 or the second bending part 32 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the focal position of the first bending part 31 or the second bending part 32.

[0025] When the first electric cylinder 4 and the second electric cylinder 5 are activated simultaneously, it is easy to drive the reflector 3 to rise. If the height of the reflector 3 does not need to be adjusted, it is easy to cause the reflector 3 to be misaligned. Therefore, the first electric cylinder 4 and the second electric cylinder 5 are both located on the outside of the reflector 3. When the driving end of the electric cylinder is connected to the hinge rod 10, the electric cylinder is always in an inclined state, with its upper end located close to the column 2 and its lower end located away from the column 2. With this setting, when the driving end of the electric cylinder extends, the direction of the force will form an angle with the vertical direction. When the end of the reflector 3 bends upward, the force on the reflector 3 at the position of the socket 33 is uneven, and the socket 33 will deform and jam with the column. Pressure is generated between the inner edge of the socket 33 and the column, forming friction, which becomes the fulcrum for the bending of the reflector 3, so that the part of the reflector 3 located at the socket 33 remains stable when it bends.

[0026] Compared to setting additional fasteners to fix the reflector 3 in the middle position, the above setup is simpler in structure and easier to operate.

[0027] Since the reflector 3 is bent by electric cylinder alone, the stability is low. Therefore, the two ends of the hinge rod 10 are hinged to the base 1 with a first connecting rod 13 and a second connecting rod 14. The upper end of the first connecting rod 13 is hinged to the hinge rod 10. The lower end of the first connecting rod 13 is hinged to the upper end of the second connecting rod 14. The lower end of the second connecting rod 14 is hinged to the base 1.

[0028] The column 2 is equipped with vertically spaced photovoltaic energy storage components and photovoltaic thermal components 7. The photovoltaic energy storage components 6 are located at the focal point of the first bend 31 or the second bend 32 and are used for energy storage; the photovoltaic thermal components 7 are located at the focal point of the first bend 31 or the second bend 32 and are used for heating.

[0029] The photovoltaic energy storage component 6 includes a horizontally arranged heat-receiving pipe, inside which a photovoltaic conversion component and a storage battery are installed. The reflected sunlight is converted into electrical energy by the photovoltaic conversion component and stored in the storage battery.

[0030] The photothermal component 7 includes horizontally arranged heating pipes. The item to be heated is placed inside the heating pipes, and the reflected sunlight can heat the item.

[0031] Adjusting only the height and bending radius of the reflector 3 still results in the focal point not reaching the heated tube. Therefore, the height of the heated tube is adjustable. The specific structure is as follows: the upright has elongated holes 21 penetrating both sides; the length of the elongated holes 21 is vertically arranged. A support rod 11 is horizontally inserted into the elongated holes 21, and its two ends are locked in place by nuts 12. The two ends of the support rod 11 extend beyond the upright, and the heated tube abuts against the inner end of the support rod 11, receiving support from it. By changing the position of the support rod 11 within the elongated holes 21, the height of the support rod 11 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the height of the heated tube, allowing it to be moved to the focal point position of the reflector 3. Furthermore, the support rod 11 facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the photoelectric energy storage component 6 and the photothermal component 7.

[0032] When the device needs to heat, the focal points of the first curved portion 31 and the second curved portion 32 coincide with the photothermal component 7; when the device needs to store energy, the focal points of the first curved portion 31 and the second curved portion 32 coincide with the photoelectric energy storage component 6; when the device needs to store energy and heat simultaneously, the focal point of the first curved portion 31 coincides with the photoelectric energy storage component 6, and the focal point of the second curved portion 32 coincides with the photothermal component 7; or the focal point of the second curved portion 32 coincides with the photoelectric energy storage component 6, and the focal point of the first curved portion 31 coincides with the photothermal component 7.

[0033] Compared to existing technologies, the advantages of this embodiment are: 1. By setting a flexible reflector 3 and using the first electric cylinder 4 and the second electric cylinder 5 to independently drive the first curved portion 31 and the second curved portion 32 at both ends of the reflector 3, the curvature and shape of the reflector 3 can be dynamically adjusted. Furthermore, by adjusting the height of the reflector 3, the positions of the first electric cylinder 4 and the second electric cylinder 5 can be adjusted, thereby precisely controlling the position of the focusing point. This structure allows the device to adjust the focusing state in real time according to environmental changes such as solar altitude angle and light intensity, ensuring efficient light concentration under different times and climatic conditions, significantly improving the utilization efficiency of solar energy. 2. The device integrates a photovoltaic energy storage component 6 and a photothermal component 7 on the same column 2, and arranges them at the focal point of the first curved portion 31 or the second curved portion 32, allowing for simultaneous heating, simultaneous energy storage, or simultaneous energy storage and heating, enhancing its practicality. 3. The overall structure is stable and easy to disassemble, assemble, and transport. It is particularly suitable for outdoor scenarios with high portability requirements, such as camping, fieldwork, and polar exploration, and has good practicality and promotional value. 4. Using solar energy as the sole energy source eliminates the need for fuel combustion, completely eradicating the exhaust emissions, open flame hazards, and fuel storage risks associated with traditional heating methods. This achieves a clean, safe, and sustainable energy supply, aligning with the green and low-carbon development trend. 5. The photovoltaic energy storage component 6 converts this energy into electrical energy for storage. When solar energy is unavailable, it can be used as a reserve energy source, enabling flexible and full utilization of energy.
