Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of energy storage equipment technology, and in particular relates to slurry energy storage devices and energy storage equipment. Background Technology

[0002] An accumulator is an energy storage device in a hydraulic or pneumatic system. It converts energy in the system into compressed or potential energy at appropriate times and stores it. When the system needs it, it converts the compressed or potential energy back into hydraulic or pneumatic energy to replenish the system. When the system pressure increases instantaneously, it can absorb this energy to ensure the overall system pressure remains normal.

[0003] Existing power generation generally uses pumped storage, but pumped storage power plants are large-scale projects with long construction periods and high construction costs. They also have high requirements for the terrain, making them unsuitable for energy storage and power supply in smaller areas. To solve these problems, a mud-type energy storage device and energy storage equipment that is suitable for smaller areas and easy to construct is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a mud-type energy storage device and energy storage equipment to solve the problem that existing power generation generally uses pumped storage, but pumped storage power plants are large-scale projects with long construction periods and high construction costs, and have high requirements for the construction terrain, making them unsuitable for energy storage and power supply in smaller areas.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] This invention relates to a mud-type energy storage device and energy storage equipment, including a base and an energy storage tank. Several mounting columns are fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the inner wall of the energy storage tank. A return spring is fixedly installed inside the mounting column. A pressure plate is fixedly connected to the upper end of the return spring. A telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the pressure plate. A storage tank is fixedly connected to the upper end of the telescopic rod. A feed pipe is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the energy storage tank. A funnel is fixedly connected to the upper end of the feed pipe.

[0007] A mounting box is fixedly installed on one surface of the inner wall of the energy storage tank. A generator, a first rotating rod, and a second rotating rod are installed inside the mounting box. A secondary gear is fixedly connected to the output end of the generator. A transmission gear and a first bevel gear are fixedly connected to the circumferential side of the first rotating rod. A second bevel gear and a main gear are fixedly connected to the circumferential side of the second rotating rod. A rack that meshes with the transmission gear is fixedly installed on one side of the storage tank. After the rack, transmission gear, main gear, secondary gear, first bevel gear, second bevel gear, generator, and mud fall into the storage tank, the storage tank descends. Through the meshing of the rack and transmission gear, the first rotating rod drives the first bevel gear to rotate. The first bevel gear meshes with the second bevel gear, causing the second rotating rod to drive the main gear to rotate. The main gear meshes with the auxiliary gear, causing the generator's output end to rotate, thus achieving the function of power generation and energy storage. Furthermore, the size of the first bevel gear is larger than that of the second bevel gear, which can accelerate the rotation speed of the first rotating rod. The size of the main gear is larger than that of the auxiliary gear, which causes the generator's output end to rotate faster. Because of the resistance between the rack and pinion and the transmission gear, the storage tank is in a slow descent state during the descent process, which can achieve continuous energy storage and power supply for a short period of time. The invention is small in size, easy to construct, and suitable for energy storage and power supply in small areas, saving economy.

[0008] The upper surface of the base has several slots, and insert blocks are installed in the slots. Each insert block is fixedly connected to the energy storage box. Crossbars are fixedly installed on both sides of the base. Fixed springs and pull plates are installed on the periphery of the crossbars. A slot is opened on one side of the insert block. A locking block is fixedly connected to one surface of the pull plate. The energy storage box and the base are locked together. By setting the energy storage box and the base to lock together, the energy storage box can be quickly assembled and disassembled, which facilitates the rapid installation of the energy storage box, as well as subsequent disassembly and maintenance.

[0009] Both sides of the inner wall of the storage tank are rotatably connected to baffles, and both sides of the inner wall of the storage tank are fixedly installed with hydraulic cylinders. The output end of the hydraulic cylinder is hinged to a connecting rod, and one end of the connecting rod is hinged to the baffle. The bottom surface of the energy storage tank has a discharge port, and the bottom surfaces of both the energy storage tank and the base have discharge ports. By setting up hydraulic cylinders, baffles, connecting rods and discharge ports, when the mud inside the storage tank overflows, the hydraulic cylinder is activated. The hydraulic cylinder pulls the baffle downward through the connecting rod to rotate, so that the mud can be discharged through the discharge port, which facilitates the next energy storage and power supply.

[0010] The main gear is larger than the secondary gear, and the main gear meshes with the secondary gear.

[0011] The size of the first bevel gear is larger than that of the second bevel gear, and the first bevel gear meshes with the second bevel gear.

[0012] Both the telescopic rod and the pressure plate are slidably engaged with the mounting column, and both the first rotating rod and the second rotating rod are rotatably engaged with the mounting box.

[0013] The insert block slides into the slot, and the pull plate slides into the crossbar.

[0014] One end of the card block is installed in the card slot, and the card block and the card slot slide together.

[0015] The position of the discharge port is adapted to the position of the discharge outlet.

[0016] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. This invention, through the configuration of a rack, transmission gear, main gear, auxiliary gear, first bevel gear, second bevel gear, generator, and mud falling into a storage tank, causes the storage tank to descend. The meshing of the rack and transmission gear causes the first rotating rod to drive the first bevel gear to rotate. The meshing of the first bevel gear with the second bevel gear causes the second rotating rod to drive the main gear to rotate. The meshing of the main gear with the auxiliary gear causes the output end of the generator to rotate, thus achieving the function of power generation and energy storage. Furthermore, the size of the first bevel gear is larger than that of the second bevel gear, which increases the rotational speed of the first rotating rod. The larger size of the main gear also accelerates the rotation of the generator's output end. Because of the resistance created by the meshing of the rack and transmission gear, the storage tank descends slowly during the descent, enabling continuous energy storage and power supply for a short period. This invention is small in size, easy to construct, suitable for energy storage and power supply in smaller areas, and economical.

[0018] 2. By setting the energy storage box and the base to fit together, the present invention can realize the rapid assembly and disassembly of the energy storage box, which facilitates the rapid installation of the energy storage box, as well as subsequent disassembly and maintenance.

[0019] 3. This invention, by setting up a hydraulic cylinder, a baffle, a connecting rod, and a discharge port, allows the hydraulic cylinder to be activated when the storage tank is full of mud. The hydraulic cylinder pulls the baffle downward through the connecting rod, allowing the mud to be discharged through the discharge port, facilitating the next energy storage and power supply.

[0020] Of course, any product implementing this invention does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper," "middle," "outer," "inner," etc., which indicate orientation or positional relationship, are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as limiting this invention.

[0032] Please see Figures 1-7As shown, the present invention is a mud-type energy storage device and energy storage equipment, including a base 1 and an energy storage tank 2. Several mounting columns 9 are fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the inner wall of the energy storage tank 2. A reset spring 10 is fixedly installed inside the mounting column 9. A pressure plate 11 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the reset spring 10. A telescopic rod 12 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the pressure plate 11. A storage tank 6 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the telescopic rod 12. A feed pipe 3 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the energy storage tank 2. A funnel 4 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the feed pipe 3.

[0033] An installation box 18 is fixedly installed on one surface of the inner wall of the energy storage tank 2. Inside the installation box 18, a generator 23, a first rotating rod 19, and a second rotating rod 20 are installed. A secondary gear 25 is fixedly connected to the output end of the generator 23. A transmission gear 8 and a first bevel gear 21 are fixedly connected to the circumferential side of the first rotating rod 19. A second bevel gear 22 and a main gear 24 are fixedly connected to the circumferential side of the second rotating rod 20. A rack 7, meshing with the transmission gear 8, is fixedly installed on one side of the storage tank 6. After the rack 7, transmission gear 8, main gear 24, secondary gear 25, first bevel gear 21, second bevel gear 22, generator 23, and mud fall into the storage tank 6, the storage tank 6 descends. Through the meshing of the rack 7 with the transmission gear 8, the first rotating rod 19 drives the first bevel gear 20. 1. The first bevel gear 21 meshes with the second bevel gear 22, causing the second rotating rod 20 to drive the main gear 24 to rotate. The main gear 24 meshes with the auxiliary gear 25, causing the output end of the generator 23 to rotate, thus realizing the function of power generation and energy storage. The size of the first bevel gear 21 is larger than that of the second bevel gear 22, which can accelerate the rotation speed of the first rotating rod 19. The size of the main gear 24 is larger than that of the auxiliary gear 25, which accelerates the rotation of the output end of the generator 23. Because of the resistance between the rack 7 and the transmission gear 8, the storage box 6 is in a slow descent state during the descent process, which can realize continuous energy storage and power supply for a short period of time. The present invention is small in size, convenient to construct, applicable to energy storage and power supply in a small area, and economical.

[0034] The upper surface of the base 1 has several slots 26, and insert blocks 5 are installed in the slots 26. The insert blocks 5 are fixedly connected to the energy storage box 2. Crossbars 27 are fixedly installed on both sides of the base 1. Fixed springs 29 and pull plates 28 are installed on the periphery of the crossbars 27. A slot 31 is opened on one side of the insert block 5. A locking block 30 is fixedly connected to one surface of the pull plate 28. The energy storage box 2 and the base 1 are locked together. By setting the locking together between the energy storage box 2 and the base 1, the energy storage box 2 can be quickly assembled and disassembled, which facilitates the quick installation of the energy storage box 2, as well as subsequent disassembly and maintenance.

[0035] Both sides of the inner wall of the storage tank 6 are rotatably connected to baffles 17, and both sides of the inner wall of the storage tank 6 are fixedly installed with hydraulic cylinders 15. The output end of the hydraulic cylinder 15 is hinged to a connecting rod 16, and one end of the connecting rod 16 is hinged to the baffle 17. The bottom surface of the energy storage tank 2 is provided with a discharge port 13, and the bottom surfaces of the energy storage tank 2 and the base 1 are provided with discharge ports 14. By setting up hydraulic cylinders 15, baffles 17, connecting rods 16 and discharge ports 13, when the mud inside the storage tank 6 is full, the hydraulic cylinder 15 is activated. The hydraulic cylinder 15 pulls the baffle 17 down to rotate through the connecting rod 16, so that the mud can be discharged through the discharge port 13, which is convenient for the next energy storage and power supply.

[0036] The main gear 24 is larger than the secondary gear 25, and the main gear 24 meshes with the secondary gear 25.

[0037] The size of the first bevel gear 21 is larger than the size of the second bevel gear 22, and the first bevel gear 21 meshes with the second bevel gear 22.

[0038] The telescopic rod 12 and the pressure plate 11 are both in sliding engagement with the mounting column 9, and the first rotating rod 19 and the second rotating rod 20 are both in rotational engagement with the mounting box 18.

[0039] Insert 5 slides into slot 26, and pull plate 28 slides into crossbar 27.

[0040] One end of the card block 30 is installed in the card slot 31, and the card block 30 and the card slot 31 slide together.

[0041] The position of the discharge port 13 is adapted to the position of the discharge port 14.

[0042] Example:

[0043] like Figures 1-7As shown, the method of using the mud-type energy storage device and energy storage equipment of the present invention is as follows: When using the present invention, firstly, mud is put into the energy storage tank 2 and enters the storage tank 6 through the feed pipe 3. After the mud falls into the storage tank 6, the storage tank 5 falls. Through the meshing of the rack 7 and the transmission gear 8, the first rotating rod 19 drives the first bevel gear 21 to rotate. The first bevel gear 21 meshes with the second bevel gear 22, causing the second rotating rod 20 to drive the main gear 24 to rotate. The main gear 24 meshes with the auxiliary gear 25, causing the output end of the generator 23 to rotate, thus realizing the function of power generation and energy storage. Moreover, the size of the first bevel gear 21 is larger than the size of the second bevel gear 22, which can speed up the rotation speed of the first rotating rod 19. The size of the main gear 24 is larger than the size of the auxiliary gear 25. The gear 7 and the transmission gear 8 cause the output end of the generator 23 to rotate faster. Because of the resistance between the rack 7 and the transmission gear 8, the storage tank 6 is in a slow descent state during the descent, which can achieve continuous energy storage and power supply for a short period of time. When the slurry inside the storage tank 6 is full, the hydraulic cylinder 15 is activated. The hydraulic cylinder 15 pulls the baffle 17 down through the connecting rod 16 to rotate, so that the slurry can be discharged through the discharge port 13. After the discharge is completed, the storage tank 6 is reset under the action of the return spring 10, which facilitates the next energy storage and power supply. When it is necessary to disassemble and repair the energy storage tank 2, pull the pull plate 28 to both sides to pull out the locking block 30 from the locking slot 31, and then pull out the insert block 5 from the slot 26 to complete the disassembly of the energy storage tank 2, and then it can be repaired.
