Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of electrochemical energy storage technology, specifically relating to a UPS system based on a radiation energy conversion module and an electrochromic zinc-ion battery module, which integrates a foldable-and-unfold radiation-proof radiation energy conversion module and an electrochromic zinc-ion battery module. Background Technology
[0002] An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is a power protection device containing an energy storage device, used to provide a stable and uninterrupted power supply to critical loads when the power supply is abnormal or interrupted.
[0003] Current UPS systems still have shortcomings in some hazardous environments. For example, lead-acid battery-based UPS systems may release oxygen at the positive electrode when charging to 70%–80% capacity, and hydrogen gas (a Class A hazardous substance) may begin to be released at the negative electrode when charging to about 90% capacity. Lithium-ion battery-based UPS systems are prone to thermal runaway in radiation and explosive environments, leading to the release of toxic gases and explosions. On the other hand, in terms of UPS power visualization signal transmission technology, traditional UPS systems still suffer from problems such as reliance on voltage sensors for power monitoring, the need for additional wiring, and susceptibility to electromagnetic interference. Furthermore, in high-risk scenarios accompanied by strong electromagnetic radiation (such as electromagnetic pulses from nuclear facilities) or ionizing radiation (such as X-rays and gamma rays), traditional UPS systems lack the ability to block, collect, and utilize the energy of ionizing and electromagnetic radiation.
[0004] In summary, there is an urgent need to design an uninterruptible power supply system suitable for use in high-risk environments to address the aforementioned technical deficiencies. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems in existing technologies, this invention provides a UPS system based on a radiation energy conversion module and an electrochromic zinc-ion battery module, suitable for use in high-risk environments.
[0006] The technical solution adopted in this invention is:
[0007] A UPS system based on a radiation energy conversion module and an electrochromic zinc-ion battery module is characterized by comprising a UPS housing, an electrochromic zinc-ion battery module housed within the UPS housing, a foldable / unfoldable radiation-proof radiation energy conversion module, and a SOC remote monitoring device. The SOC remote monitoring device achieves non-contact detection of the zinc-ion battery module's state of charge through an electrochromic color-changing mechanism in the infrared band, and integrates a wireless-fiber hybrid transmission architecture and intelligent switching logic to provide real-time alarm responses upon detecting UPS abnormalities.
[0008] The UPS enclosure adopts a multi-layer protective battery compartment structure. The outermost layer of the multi-layer protective battery compartment structure is a stainless steel layer, and a polyurethane coating is applied to the surface of the stainless steel layer.
[0009] The innermost layer of the electrochromic zinc-ion battery module is the battery compartment, which contains multiple batteries arranged in a battery array and fixed in the battery compartment by a honeycomb ceramic support to achieve stress dispersion and uniform heat dissipation; the large pores of the honeycomb ceramic support are filled with phase change material.
[0010] The foldable and unfoldable radiation-proof radiation energy conversion module is installed on the UPS casing. It is made of a flexible material composed of an energy conversion layer and a radiation shielding layer. It is used to convert electromagnetic radiation and ionizing radiation into electrical energy and block radiation that is harmful to living organisms.
[0011] Furthermore, the foldable-unfoldable radiation-proof radiation energy conversion module includes a first part and a second part, which achieve spatial folding function through a hinge linkage structure.
[0012] Furthermore, the energy conversion layer includes a substrate and a pyramid array closely arranged on the flexible substrate, which has the functions of absorbing electromagnetic radiation resonant waves and X / γ ray photovoltaic conversion.
[0013] The pyramid array is composed of closely arranged pyramid-shaped protrusions with a base width of 0.5mm-5mm, and microstrip resonant cavities are embedded inside the pyramid-shaped protrusions; the isosceles triangular sides of the pyramid-shaped protrusions are provided with micro-nano protrusions with a base width of 10-100nm, which are used to suppress the reflection of 2-18 GHz battery waves.
[0014] The pyramid array is made of a carbonyl iron / strontium titanate / epoxy resin / graphene quaternary composite material; the microstrip resonant cavity is used to absorb electromagnetic waves of 0.3-6 GHz and convert them into current, so that the overall electromagnetic wave absorption rate of the energy conversion layer is ≥ 95%.
[0015] Furthermore, the radiation shielding layer uses dimethylsiloxane (PDMS) as a matrix and embeds a charge collection network to provide flexible support, high-energy radiation shielding, and charge management functions; the matrix is embedded with a mixture of tungsten nanoparticles, nano-cerium oxide, and unsaturated lead carboxylate, wherein the mass ratio of the tungsten nanoparticles, nano-cerium oxide, and unsaturated lead carboxylate is 2:3:5.
[0016] The charge harvesting network is a three-dimensional conductive network formed by the self-assembly of copper alloy nanowires with a diameter of 50 nm and an aspect ratio greater than 20 filled inside PDMS. It is used to collect current from the energy harvesting functional layer and absorb and conduct secondary electrons generated by high-energy radiation.
[0017] Furthermore, the stainless steel layer can be 2mm thick 316L stainless steel or other materials that can provide impact and corrosion resistance; the polyurethane coating has a coating thickness of 50μm, and the surface has been verified by salt spray test to have a corrosion resistance of ≥1000h.
[0018] Furthermore, the spacing between adjacent batteries in the battery array is ≤ 50 mm.
[0019] Furthermore, the spacing between adjacent batteries in the battery array is 60~100 mm.
[0020] Furthermore, the ceramic honeycomb scaffold is made of alumina ceramic with a porosity of 40% to 80%. The alumina ceramic has a hierarchical pore structure, namely, macropores with a pore size greater than 50 nm, mesopores with a pore size between 2 nm and 50 nm, and micropores with a pore size less than 2 nm. The phase change material is filled in the macropores. The phase change material is a paraffin / expanded graphite composite material doped with metallic gallium.
[0021] Furthermore, the SOC remote monitoring device extends into the infrared electrochromic positive electrode inside the battery via radiation-resistant optical fiber. Utilizing the battery's own infrared electrochromic color-changing mechanism, a multi-channel infrared detector monitors the changes in the battery's internal infrared-band color-changing electrochromic zinc ion positive electrode.
[0022] Furthermore, the SOC remote monitoring device employs a multi-channel infrared detector to receive infrared light signals from the electrochromic zinc-ion battery and connects them to the wireless transmission module via a signal converter. By integrating the BeiDou satellite radio navigation service supporting the Modbus RTU protocol and the Iridium 9603N module, it ensures bidirectional data transmission in areas without ground base stations, guaranteeing a packet loss rate of ≤0.1%. Simultaneously, it incorporates a DF2B6M4SL TVS diode array to suppress 15kV / μs transient voltage surges and maintain communication stability in a 10V / m strong electromagnetic field environment.
[0023] The technical concept of this invention is to creatively integrate a foldable-and-unfoldable radiation energy conversion module and an electrochromic zinc-ion battery module, supplemented by non-contact SOC monitoring technology based on the infrared electrochromic effect, thus creating a high-risk environment-specific UPS system with "active defense, energy self-sufficiency, and intelligent monitoring" in one integrated system. This system not only passively resists hazards such as radiation and impact, but also actively converts harmful radiation energy in the environment into electrical energy for storage and utilization. Simultaneously, it achieves remote intelligent monitoring through highly reliable communication, fundamentally improving the survivability, continuity, and safety of the UPS under extreme conditions.
[0024] This invention is specifically designed for high-risk and special scenarios involving strong electromagnetic interference, ionizing radiation, flammable and explosive materials, or poor communication conditions. Specific application scenarios include:
[0025] 1. Nuclear industrial sites such as nuclear power plants, nuclear waste treatment facilities, and particle accelerators.
[0026] 2. Medical and research institutions such as radiotherapy rooms and radiological laboratories.
[0027] 3. Industrial environments where explosive gases exist, such as chemical plants and mines.
[0028] 4. Remote and critical facilities such as border posts, islands, and scientific research stations that lack reliable ground communication networks or power grids.
[0029] 5. Emergency command and communication support in response to electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attacks or severe natural disasters.
[0030] This invention has the following application value:
[0031] 1. Safety Value: Provides inherently safe and uninterrupted power protection for critical loads and operators in high-risk environments, greatly reducing the risk of secondary disasters caused by power failure or battery thermal runaway.
[0032] 2. Economic and strategic value: By recovering and utilizing environmental radiation energy, the system's self-sufficient power supply time can be extended, reducing dependence on external energy supply. This has significant economic and strategic implications for remote or enclosed scenarios.
[0033] 3. Technology-driven value: It has promoted the paradigm shift of UPS technology from "passive protection" to "active adaptation and energy recovery", providing new technical paths and integration solutions for the design of energy and electronic systems in future extreme environments.
[0034] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are reflected in:
[0035] 1. This invention not only effectively protects critical components of the UPS system and on-site personnel from hazards such as radiation, impact, and corrosion, but also converts some of the harmful radiation energy in the environment into electrical energy and stores it in the UPS battery, achieving a leap from "passive defense" to "active utilization." Specifically:
[0036] ① Achieving integrated radiation protection and energy recovery: The foldable-deployable radiation energy conversion module, with its composite structure (energy conversion layer and radiation shielding layer), can efficiently shield X / γ rays and electromagnetic waves (absorption rate ≥95%), while converting part of the radiation energy into current through photovoltaic and resonant mechanisms to charge the battery, thus enhancing the system's continuous power supply and survivability in the absence of mains power or in extreme environments.
[0037] ② An intrinsically safe and thermally efficient energy storage unit was constructed: Utilizing intrinsically safe electrochromic zinc-ion batteries, the risks of hydrogen evolution, oxygen evolution, and thermal runaway explosions are fundamentally eliminated. A unique honeycomb ceramic support combined with a phase change material filling design achieves mechanical fixation and stress dispersion while significantly optimizing heat dissipation uniformity, effectively suppressing localized overheating, and improving the thermal safety and cycle life of the battery pack under harsh operating conditions.
[0038] ③ It achieves interference-resistant and highly reliable non-contact battery management: It abandons the traditional monitoring method that relies on voltage sensors and wired connections, and innovatively utilizes the electrochromic properties of the battery's positive electrode material in the infrared band to achieve non-contact, in-situ monitoring of the State of Charge (SOC) through a built-in infrared detector. This method fundamentally avoids problems such as electromagnetic interference and insulation failure introduced by leads, resulting in more direct and reliable monitoring signals.
[0039] ④ Provides highly available intelligent communication and monitoring in extreme environments: Employs a redundant transmission architecture that combines wireless (BeiDou / Iridium) and radiation-resistant fiber optics, integrating intelligent switching logic and strong anti-interference circuits (such as TVS arrays). Even under conditions of strong electromagnetic interference and damage to ground base stations, it can still ensure reliable remote bidirectional transmission of system status information (such as SOC and alarm signals) with an extremely low packet loss rate (≤0.1%, fiber optic backup link <0.01%), meeting the stringent requirements for real-time monitoring and reliability in high-risk scenarios.
[0040] ⑤ Robust, durable, and adaptable external protection: The UPS casing features a composite structure of stainless steel outer layer and polyurethane coating, providing excellent impact and corrosion resistance. The foldable radiant energy conversion module facilitates transportation and storage, and can be unfolded during deployment to maximize protection and energy harvesting area, giving the system high environmental adaptability and deployment flexibility.
[0041] 2. The alumina ceramic honeycomb support (60% porosity) in this invention is formed by selective laser sintering, which achieves stress dispersion and uniform heat dissipation, and reduces thermal conductivity while fixing the structure.
[0042] 3. This invention uses a SOC monitoring device to penetrate deep into the infrared electrochromic positive electrode inside the battery. It mainly utilizes the battery's own electrochromic color-changing mechanism in the infrared band. A multi-channel infrared detector monitors the changes in the infrared color-changing electrochromic zinc-ion battery positive electrode inside the battery and feeds the signal back to the signal switching system and communication transmission module.
[0043] 4. This invention incorporates a fiber optic backup link into the communication module. By using radiation-resistant fiber optic links and a dual-channel TLP2768A optical module that supports hot-swappable switching (response time ≤10ms), coupled with a FIFO buffer to compensate for signal jitter, it ultimately achieves ultra-high reliability transmission with a packet loss rate of <0.01%.

[0057] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0058] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the present invention can be combined with each other.
[0059] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and exemplary embodiments.
[0060] refer to Figures 1 to 13 This invention discloses a UPS system based on a radiation energy conversion module and an electrochromic zinc-ion battery module, comprising a UPS housing 8, an electrochromic zinc-ion battery module housed within the UPS housing 8, a foldable-and-unfold radiation-proof radiation energy conversion module 3, and a SOC remote monitoring device 5. The SOC remote monitoring device 5 achieves non-contact detection of the zinc-ion battery module's state of charge through an electrochromic color-changing mechanism in the infrared light band, and integrates a wireless-fiber hybrid transmission architecture and intelligent switching logic to provide real-time alarm responses upon detecting abnormal UPS conditions.
[0061] The UPS housing 8 adopts a multi-layer protective battery compartment structure. The outermost layer of the multi-layer protective battery compartment structure is a stainless steel layer, and a polyurethane coating is applied to the surface of the stainless steel layer.
[0062] The innermost layer of the electrochromic zinc-ion battery module is the battery compartment, which contains multiple batteries 6. These batteries are arranged in a battery array and fixed in the battery compartment by a honeycomb ceramic support 7 to achieve stress dispersion and uniform heat dissipation. The large pores of the honeycomb ceramic support are filled with phase change material 9.
[0063] The foldable and unfoldable radiation-proof radiation energy conversion module is installed on the UPS casing. It is made of a flexible material composed of an energy conversion layer and a radiation shielding layer. It is used to convert electromagnetic radiation and ionizing radiation into electrical energy and block radiation that is harmful to living organisms.
[0064] In one embodiment, the foldable-unfoldable radiation-proof radiation energy conversion module includes a first part and a second part, the first part and the second part realizing the spatial folding function through a hinge linkage structure.
[0065] Specifically, the first and second parts can employ a four-wing hinge linkage mechanical structure, or other mechanical structures with similar effects. The four-wing hinge linkage mechanical structure uses a double-headed ratchet arm that engages with a square slot on an L-shaped connector to create a stable support structure (such as a "Λ" or "П" shape) when the device is unfolded. When folded, the volume is compressed to 1 / 4 of its unfolded state, meeting the storage requirements of confined spaces. A conductive silicone sealing strip (with radiation resistance ≥) is embedded at the chain connection. (Gy) ensures the continuity of electrical connections between functional layers during folding, while preventing radiation leakage. When folded up, the folding panel can wrap around the battery body; when unfolded, it can serve as a radiation energy conversion screen to block radiation.
[0066] In one embodiment, the energy conversion layer includes a substrate and a pyramid array closely arranged on a flexible substrate, which has the functions of absorbing electromagnetic radiation resonant waves and X / γ-ray photovoltaic conversion.
[0067] The pyramid array is composed of closely arranged pyramid-shaped protrusions with a base width of 0.5mm-5mm, and microstrip resonant cavities are embedded inside the pyramid-shaped protrusions; the isosceles triangular sides of the pyramid-shaped protrusions are provided with micro-nano protrusions with a base width of 10-100nm, which are used to suppress the reflection of 2-18 GHz battery waves.
[0068] The pyramid array is made of a carbonyl iron / strontium titanate / epoxy resin / graphene quaternary composite material; the microstrip resonant cavity is used to absorb electromagnetic waves of 0.3-6 GHz and convert them into current, so that the overall electromagnetic wave absorption rate of the energy conversion layer is ≥ 95%.
[0069] In one embodiment, the radiation shielding layer uses flexible polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) as a matrix for shielding and charge collection networks to provide flexible support, high-energy radiation shielding, and charge management functions; the matrix is embedded with a mixture of tungsten nanoparticles and lead powder, wherein the mass ratio of tungsten to lead is 7:3.
[0070] The shielding network is composed of stacked beryllium-doped lead nanoparticles filled inside PDMS, and is used to shield against radiation;
[0071] The charge harvesting network is a three-dimensional conductive network formed by the self-assembly of tungsten nanowires with a diameter of 50 nm and an aspect ratio greater than 20 filled inside PDMS. It is used to collect current from the energy harvesting functional layer and absorb and conduct secondary electrons generated by high-energy radiation.
[0072] In one embodiment, the stainless steel layer may be 2mm thick 316L stainless steel or other materials that can provide impact and corrosion resistance; the polyurethane coating has a coating thickness of 50μm, and the surface has been verified by salt spray test to have a corrosion resistance of ≥1000h.
[0073] In one embodiment, the spacing between adjacent cells in the battery array is ≤ 50 mm.
[0074] In one embodiment, the spacing between adjacent batteries in the battery array is 60-100 mm.
[0075] In one embodiment, the ceramic honeycomb scaffold is made of alumina ceramic 10 with a porosity of 40% to 80%. The alumina ceramic has a hierarchical pore structure, namely, macropores with a pore size greater than 50 nm, mesopores with a pore size between 2 nm and 50 nm, and micropores with a pore size less than 2 nm. The phase change material is filled in the macropores. The phase change material is a paraffin / expanded graphite composite material doped with metallic gallium.
[0076] Specifically, the phase change material uses paraffin / expanded graphite (7:3) mixed with a low melting point alloy (Bi 50wt%, Sn 25wt%, Cd 12.5wt%, Cr 12.5wt%), which increases the thermal conductivity to 2.3 W / (m·K) and the thermal propagation delay time is three times that of conventional designs.
[0077] In one embodiment, the SOC remote monitoring device extends into the infrared electrochromic positive electrode inside the battery via a radiation-resistant optical fiber 2. Utilizing the battery's own infrared electrochromic color-changing mechanism, a multi-channel infrared detector monitors the changes in the battery's internal infrared-band color-changing electrochromic zinc ion positive electrode.
[0078] In one embodiment, the SOC remote monitoring device uses a multi-channel infrared detector to receive infrared light signals from the electrochromic zinc-ion battery and connects them to the wireless transmission module through a signal converter. By integrating the BeiDou satellite radio navigation service supporting the Modbus RTU protocol and the Iridium 9603N module, it ensures that bidirectional data transmission can still be maintained in areas without ground base stations, and can guarantee a packet loss rate of ≤0.1%. At the same time, it has a built-in DF2B6M4SL TVS array to suppress 15kV / μs transient voltage surges and maintain communication stability in a strong electromagnetic field environment of 10V / m.
[0079] Specifically, the positive electrode of the electrochromic zinc-ion battery in the infrared band is made of zinc-doped tungsten bronze. Electrochromic material preparation. The SOC remote monitoring device also incorporates a fiber optic backup link. By employing radiation-resistant fiber optic links and using hot-swappable dual-channel TLP2768A optical modules (response time ≤10ms), coupled with a first-in-first-out (FIFO) buffer to compensate for signal jitter, ultra-high reliability transmission with a packet loss rate of <0.01% is achieved. This ensures the transmission of information regarding the SOC status in hazardous production environments.
[0080] More specifically, the UPS of this invention employs a dynamic link assessment and mains power monitoring and assessment system to achieve low-latency power supply switching. It adopts a voltage-frequency (VF) control mode, with a switching time ≤ 0.2 seconds and voltage fluctuation ≤ ±2%, making it suitable for critical loads such as ICUs. It also supports intelligent priority management of mains power, photovoltaic power, and energy storage, optimizing energy allocation through a MILP (Mixed Integer Linear Programming) model. By real-time analysis of the wireless channel bit error rate (BER) and fiber optic signal strength (RSSI), when BER > 10... -4 If RSSI < -90 dBm, the system will automatically switch to the optimal communication link. After the switching event is triggered, the system will push alarm information to the cloud monitoring platform and record the original data fault trace for ten seconds before and after the switch.
[0081] In one embodiment, the battery casing 14 is composed of a stainless steel layer, and a polyurethane coating is applied to the surface of the stainless steel layer. The stainless steel layer can be 2mm thick 316L stainless steel, or other materials that provide impact and corrosion resistance. The polyurethane coating is preferably 50μm thick, and its corrosion resistance has been verified by a salt spray test (ASTM B117 standard) for ≥1000h, resisting corrosion from acid mist, H2S, Cl2, etc.

[0084] Figure 1 3 is a foldable-unfolding radiation energy absorption device.
[0085] The device uses a flexible composite material that integrates an energy conversion layer and a radiation shielding layer as its main material. It achieves spatial folding function through a hinge linkage structure, which can not only convert electromagnetic radiation (such as microwaves and radio frequencies) and ionizing radiation (such as gamma rays and X-rays) into electrical energy, but also completely block radiation that is extremely harmful to living organisms.

[0089] Figure 2 Component 4 represents the signal switching system and communication transmission module. The wireless communication module integrates a BeiDou RDSS (positioning accuracy <10m) supporting the Modbus RTU protocol and an Iridium 9603N module, ensuring bidirectional data transmission even in areas without ground base stations and guaranteeing a packet loss rate ≤ 0.1% (this module is used for short message communication). It also incorporates a DF2B6M4SL TVS diode array, capable of suppressing 15 kV / μs transient voltage surges and maintaining communication stability in strong electromagnetic fields of 10 V / m, making it suitable for extreme scenarios such as those in the power and chemical industries. A fiber optic backup link is also included in the communication module. By employing radiation-resistant fiber optic links and using dual-channel TLP2768A optical modules supporting hot-swappable switching (response time ≤10ms), coupled with a FIFO buffer to compensate for signal jitter, ultra-high reliability transmission with a packet loss rate <0.01% is ultimately achieved.
