The same reference numerals in the drawings denote elements that have the same or similar functions. Although various aspects of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, they are not necessarily drawn to scale unless specifically indicated otherwise.

For example, A and / or B can represent three cases: A alone, A and B simultaneously, and B alone. Furthermore, the term "at least one" in this document means any combination of at least two of any one or more elements. For example, including at least one of A, B, and C can mean including any one or more elements selected from the set consisting of A, B, and C.

[0022] Furthermore, to better illustrate the present invention, numerous specific details are set forth in the following detailed embodiments. Those skilled in the art will understand that the present invention can be practiced without certain specific details. In some instances, methods, means, elements, and circuits well known to those skilled in the art have not been described in detail in order to highlight the spirit of the invention.

[0023] It is understood that the various method embodiments mentioned above in this invention can be combined with each other to form combined embodiments without violating the principle and logic. Due to space limitations, this invention will not elaborate further.

[0024] In this invention, solar energy is fully utilized, generating electricity through both strong light sources and thermal energy combined with low ambient temperatures, thus providing a sufficient power supply. This solves the problem that traditional solar power generation is affected by weather and environmental factors, resulting in insufficient power generation to meet expectations. Specifically, this invention provides a clean energy-based circular power generation system and method. In this embodiment, the clean energy-based circular power generation system includes: a collection unit, a conversion unit, a storage unit, an output unit, a control center, and a monitoring unit. The collection unit includes a temperature collection unit and a light source collection unit, which are connected together. The conversion unit includes a first conversion unit and a second conversion unit, with the temperature collection unit connected to the first conversion unit and the light source collection unit connected to the second conversion unit. The storage unit is connected to the conversion unit and the output unit. The monitoring unit is connected to the collection unit. The control center is electrically connected to the collection unit, conversion unit, storage unit, output unit, and monitoring unit.

[0025] In this embodiment, as Figure 1As shown, the present invention utilizes a clean energy cycle power generation system to fully leverage the thermal and solar energy of solar power. Specifically, the system's collection unit includes a light source collection unit and a temperature collection unit. The light source collection unit converts light energy into electrical energy through a second conversion unit, which includes components such as a solar cell array, a battery pack, a charge / discharge controller, an inverter, and an AC distribution cabinet. After the light source receiving unit receives a strong solar light source, the second conversion unit receives this strong light source and, through the photovoltaic power generation principle, directly converts the solar energy into electrical energy, which is then transmitted to the storage unit. The temperature collection unit collects the heat transmitted from the solar energy and uses this heat as the highest temperature for the first conversion unit to perform power generation operations. Simultaneously, the first conversion unit is set to receive ambient low temperatures. Since the ambient temperature drops significantly when sunlight cannot be collected, the temperature difference between the highest and lowest temperatures received by the first conversion unit increases, allowing the first conversion unit to perform supplementary power generation operations based on the thermocouple power generation principle. Specifically, the first conversion unit includes a reactive battery cell, an insulating and heat-insulating layer, a high-temperature end, and a low-temperature end. The high-temperature and low-temperature ends do not come into contact with each other. The reaction cell is made of tungsten metal, and the insulation and heat-insulating layer is made of fiberglass materials, reducing equipment costs, eliminating pollution, and improving power generation efficiency. The first conversion unit receives both low-temperature and high-temperature signals at its two ends. Electrons move towards the low-temperature end under the influence of the high-temperature signal, generating an electromotive force during this movement, which in turn produces a current. In this embodiment, the specific dimensions and specifications of the first and second conversion units can be adjusted according to actual needs, and are not specifically limited here.

[0026] In embodiments of the present invention, reference continues to be made. Figure 1 The temperature collection unit and the light source collection unit are connected via a temperature conduction line. The temperature collection unit includes a low-temperature collection module and a high-temperature collection module. The high-temperature collection module is connected to the light source collection unit via the temperature conduction line, and the low-temperature module is connected to the outside of the device. The light source collection unit is connected to the monitoring unit. In this embodiment, the light source collection unit transmits the received heat to the high-temperature collection module of the temperature collection unit via the temperature conduction line. At this time, the low-temperature collection module collects the overall ambient temperature. When there is a temperature difference between the ambient temperature and the high-temperature module, power generation begins. This achieves uninterrupted power generation by immediately switching to power generation using temperature difference when solar energy cannot be used for power generation.

[0027] In embodiments of the present invention, to achieve automatic system operation, a monitoring unit is set up to monitor and acquire data information, including ambient temperature, strong light illumination angle, and equipment rotation angle. The monitoring unit sends the data information to the control center. The monitoring unit may include temperature sensors, infrared sensors, and light sensors, etc., to accurately determine the angle, direction, and position of movement of the strong solar light source. After the accurate data information is sent to the control center, the control center sends control commands to the collection unit based on the received data information. The control commands include angle adjustment commands, return commands, and output commands. Specifically, the light source collection unit receives angle adjustment commands and return commands, while both the light source collection unit and the temperature collection unit receive output commands. That is, the control center processes and judges the received data information, compares the judgment results with the set standards, and controls the collection unit in real time, changing the collection time, light energy collection angle, etc.

[0028] In embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, to prevent excess and wasted electrical energy, one end of the storage unit is connected to the conversion unit, and the other end is connected to the output unit. In this embodiment, electrical energy can be directly output for use, and excess electrical energy can be directly stored for later use. The first conversion unit receives high-temperature energy from the temperature collection unit and low-temperature energy from the environment, while the second conversion unit receives strong light energy from the light source collection unit. The two conversion units can operate simultaneously or alternately in a cyclical manner according to specific settings; no specific limitations are made here.

[0029] An embodiment of the present invention also discloses a method for generating electricity using clean energy recycling, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the above-mentioned clean energy-based circular power generation system includes the following steps: S110. Set up a solar power generation system. Set the light source collection unit to be perpendicular to the strong light source in real time. The strong light source collection and transmission conversion unit converts the strong light source into electrical energy. S120. Acquire data information, set up the monitoring department to monitor the change status of the angle of the strong light source in real time, and the monitoring department will also send the real-time monitoring change data to the control center, which will adjust the various parts of the system according to the change data; S130. Set up backup power generation. When solar power generation stops, the control center will activate backup power generation. Backup power generation includes low temperature and high temperature reaction power generation. S140. The backup power generation is switched to solar power generation. When the monitoring department detects a strong light source, the control center controls the backup power generation to stop and the solar power generation to start. And / or, when the monitoring department detects a strong light source, the control center controls the backup power generation and the solar power generation to operate together.

[0030] In step S110, the light source collecting unit moves with the strong light source and returns to its initial position when it can no longer track the strong light source.

[0031] This method allows for cyclical and uninterrupted power generation. The monitoring unit accurately and efficiently monitors the light source and temperature, ensuring accurate reception and rapid power generation of both light and heat energy. It enables alternating and cyclical power generation, as well as simultaneous light and heat generation, and allows for the storage of excess electrical energy. In practical applications, it can be customized to power multiple devices simultaneously and without interruption.

[0032] The various embodiments of the present invention have been described above. These descriptions are exemplary and not exhaustive, nor are they limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments. The terminology used herein is chosen to best explain the principles, practical applications, or technical improvements to the technology in the market, or to enable others skilled in the art to understand the embodiments disclosed herein.
