Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of energy storage tank technology, and more specifically, to an energy storage tank with a built-in slotted water distributor. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of energy storage and environmental control, energy storage tanks, as key equipment, are not only widely used in various energy storage scenarios such as solar water heating systems, industrial waste heat recovery, and pumped storage power stations, but also play an important role in applications such as air conditioning, air humidification, ventilation, and airflow shielding. Especially in places where air quality needs to be controlled, pollutants need to be removed, or specific environmental conditions need to be maintained, such as industrial production workshops, data centers, hospital operating rooms, and laboratories, the design and operating efficiency of energy storage tanks and their related systems are particularly important.

[0003] In energy storage tank systems, the performance of the water distributor plays a crucial role in the overall operational efficiency of the tank. While traditional water distributors offer some basic functions, some equipped with filtration devices exhibit significant shortcomings in practical use. Because water inevitably contains impurities, these distributors, despite their filtration capabilities, cannot automatically detect clogging. Over time, as the filter becomes increasingly clogged, it's difficult for staff to detect this immediately, leading to a significant reduction in filtration effectiveness. Impurities continue to enter the tank with the water flow and accumulate inside, affecting not only the heat exchange efficiency of the medium and reducing energy storage capacity, but also potentially causing wear and tear on internal components and shortening the tank's lifespan. Furthermore, these distributors lack the ability to automatically clean the filter, requiring manual cleaning and maintenance, which is extremely inconvenient and increases operational costs and workload. Therefore, we propose an energy storage tank with a built-in slotted water distributor. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides an energy storage tank with a built-in slotted water distributor to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an energy storage tank with a built-in slotted water distributor, comprising an energy storage tank device, a control device 1 provided on the front side of the energy storage tank device, a water distributor device provided on the top of the energy storage tank device, a filter cleaning component connected to one end of the water distributor device, a connecting pipe connected to one end of the filter cleaning component, a sealing ring connecting groove provided on one end of the water distributor device, and two symmetrical positioning slots provided on the outer side of the water distributor device; The filter cleaning assembly includes a fixed cylinder. Two symmetrical mounting pipes and connecting plates are installed on the outer sides of the fixed cylinder. Each mounting pipe has a mounting plate installed at one end, and the mounting plates are adapted to the sealing ring connecting groove. A control device two is installed on the top of the fixed cylinder. A connecting shaft is installed inside the fixed cylinder. A bevel gear one and two symmetrical water wheels are rotatably connected to the outside of the connecting shaft. A filter screen and a fixing frame are installed inside the fixed cylinder. A rotating groove is opened on the inner side of the fixing frame. A cleaning brush is connected inside the fixing frame. A bevel gear two is installed at one end of the cleaning brush. The bevel gear two meshes with the bevel gear one. A drain pipe is installed at the bottom of the fixed cylinder, and a control valve is installed at the bottom of the drain pipe.

[0006] Preferably, rotating plates are installed at both ends of the cleaning brush, and the rotating plates are located inside the rotating groove.

[0007] Preferably, a detection cylinder is installed at one end of the fixed cylinder, and a pressure sensor one and a pressure sensor two are respectively installed on one side of the detection cylinder.

[0008] Preferably, the detection ends of pressure sensor one and pressure sensor two are both located inside the detection cylinder, and spring one is installed on one side of the inside of the detection cylinder.

[0009] Preferably, a rubber stopper is installed at one end of the spring, and the outer wall of the rubber stopper is in contact with the inner wall of the detection cylinder.

[0010] Preferably, mounting cylinders are installed at both the top and bottom of the connecting plate, and an electromagnet is installed on one side of the inside of the mounting cylinder.

[0011] Preferably, a second spring is installed on one side of the electromagnet, and a mounting rod is installed on one end of the second spring, with an iron plate embedded in the top of the mounting rod.

[0012] Preferably, the mounting rod is located inside the mounting cylinder, one end of the mounting rod is equipped with a positioning plate, and a warning light is installed on the outside of the fixing cylinder.

[0013] The technical effects and advantages of this invention are as follows: In use, this invention efficiently filters the incoming water flow through the filter screen in the filtration and cleaning component, effectively intercepting most impurities and allowing relatively clean water to enter the energy storage tank. At the same time, the self-cleaning mechanism ensures that the filter screen always maintains good filtration performance, further reducing the possibility of impurities entering the energy storage tank. As a result, the damage to the inside of the energy storage tank caused by impurities is greatly reduced, its service life is effectively extended, the cost of frequent maintenance and replacement due to equipment damage is reduced, and the economy and reliability of the energy storage system are improved.

[0014] When in use, this invention provides a stable water source for the energy storage tank through its fine filtration and self-cleaning functions. Clean water entering the tank prevents the formation of an insulating layer due to impurities, ensuring smooth heat exchange and improving the tank's heat exchange efficiency. Simultaneously, stable water quality helps maintain the internal chemical balance of the tank, reducing corrosion and scaling caused by water quality changes, further enhancing the tank's operational efficiency. This allows the tank to perform energy storage and release tasks more stably and efficiently, while also providing convenience for staff and improving filtration effectiveness.

The filter cleaning assembly 4 includes a fixed cylinder 41. Two symmetrical mounting pipes 42 and connecting plates 43 are respectively installed on the outer sides of the fixed cylinder 41. Each mounting pipe 42 has a mounting plate 44 installed at one end, and the mounting plate 44 is adapted to the sealing ring connecting groove 6. A control device 45 is installed on the top of the fixed cylinder 41. A connecting shaft 46 is installed inside the fixed cylinder 41. A bevel gear 48 and two symmetrical water wheels 47 are rotatably connected to the outside of the connecting shaft 46. The interior of the fixed cylinder 41 is respectively equipped with... The device is equipped with a filter screen 410 and a fixing frame 411. The fixing frame 411 has a rotating groove 412 on its inner side. A cleaning brush 413 is connected inside the fixing frame 411. A bevel gear 49 is installed at one end of the cleaning brush 413. The bevel gear 49 meshes with a bevel gear 48. Rotating plates 414 are installed at both ends of the cleaning brush 413. The rotating plates 414 are located inside the rotating groove 412. A drain pipe 420 is installed at the bottom of the fixing cylinder 41. A control valve 421 is installed at the bottom of the drain pipe 420. A detection cylinder 415 is installed at one end of the fixed cylinder 41. A pressure sensor 416 and a pressure sensor 417 are respectively installed on one side of the detection cylinder 415. The detection ends of the pressure sensor 416 and the pressure sensor 417 are located inside the detection cylinder 415. A spring 418 is installed on one side inside the detection cylinder 415. A rubber plug 419 is installed at one end of the spring 418. The outer wall of the rubber plug 419 is in contact with the inner wall of the detection cylinder 415. An installation cylinder 422 is installed at the top and bottom of the connecting plate 43. An electromagnet 423 is installed on one side inside the installation cylinder 422. A spring 424 is installed on one side of the electromagnet 423. An installation rod 425 is installed at one end of the spring 424. An iron piece is embedded in the top of the installation rod 425. The installation rod 425 is located inside the installation cylinder 422. A positioning plate 426 is installed at one end of the installation rod 425. A warning light 427 is installed on the outside of the fixed cylinder 41.

[0025] When water flows through the connecting pipe 5 into the fixed cylinder 41 of the filter cleaning assembly 4, it first encounters the filter screen 410 installed inside the fixed cylinder 41. The filter screen 410, with its fine pore structure, can intercept most impurities in the water, allowing relatively clean water to smoothly enter the energy storage tank device 1 through the water distributor device 3. This process effectively reduces the impurity content in the water entering the energy storage tank, providing a basic guarantee for the normal operation of the energy storage tank. When the water flow reaches a certain velocity, the water flow generates a strong impact force on the water wheel 47, causing the water wheel 47 to start rotating. The rotation of the water wheel 47 drives the... When the bevel gear 48 connected to it rotates, the bevel gear 49 meshes with the bevel gear 48, and the bevel gear 49 will also rotate. At this time, the bevel gear 49 drives the cleaning brush 413 to rotate. Both ends of the cleaning brush 413 are equipped with rotating plates 414, and the rotating plates 414 are located in the rotating groove 412 opened inside the fixed frame 411. This design provides stable support and guidance for the rotation of the cleaning brush 413, so that it can thoroughly and effectively clean the filter screen 410 during the rotation process and brush off the impurities attached to the filter screen 410. When the water flow is normal and there are few impurities, the water flow will push the rubber plug 419 to move. The outer wall of the rubber plug 419 is in close contact with the inner wall of the detection cylinder 415 to ensure that the water pressure can be accurately transmitted. As the rubber plug 419 moves, it will gradually squeeze the pressure sensor 416. When there are too many impurities, causing the water flow speed to decrease, the rubber plug 419 can no longer squeeze the pressure sensor 416, but instead squeezes the pressure sensor 417. At this time, after receiving the signal from the pressure sensor 417, the control device will quickly control the solenoid valve to open the drain pipe 420 to drain the sewage. At the same time, the warning light 427 will light up to remind the staff to deal with it in time. The mounting plate 44 is compatible with the sealing ring connection groove 6 opened at one end of the water distributor device 3. This design increases the tightness of the installation and effectively prevents water leakage. During normal filtration, the positioning plate 426 at one end of the mounting rod 425 is inserted into the positioning groove 7 on the outside of the water distributor device 3 to achieve a self-locking setting and prevent anyone from opening the filter cleaning component 4 at will.

[0026] The working principle of this invention is as follows: When water flows through the connecting pipe 5 into the fixed cylinder 41 of the filter cleaning assembly 4, it first passes through the filter screen 410 installed inside the fixed cylinder 41 for filtration. The filter screen 410 can intercept most of the impurities in the water, allowing the relatively clean water to enter the energy storage tank device 1 through the water distributor device 3, thereby reducing the impurity content in the water entering the energy storage tank and preventing impurities from affecting the normal operation of the energy storage tank. When the water flow reaches a certain flow rate, the water flow will impact the water wheel 47, causing the water wheel 47 to start rotating. The rotation of the water wheel 47 drives the connected bevel gear 48 to rotate. Since the bevel gear 49 meshes with the bevel gear 48, the bevel gear 49 will also rotate. At this time, the bevel gear 49 drives the cleaning brush 413 to rotate. During the rotation, the cleaning brush 413 cleans the filter screen 410, brushing off the impurities attached to the filter screen 410. A detection cylinder 415 is installed at one end of the fixed cylinder 41. Pressure sensor 1 416 and pressure sensor 2 417 are installed inside the detection cylinder 415. When the water flow is normal and there are few impurities, the water flow will push the rubber plug 419 to move, so that the rubber plug 419 gradually squeezes the pressure sensor 1 416. When there are too many impurities, which causes the water flow speed to decrease, the rubber plug 419 cannot squeeze the pressure sensor 1 416, but squeezes the pressure sensor 2 417. At this time, after receiving the signal from the pressure sensor 2 417, the control device controls the solenoid valve to open the drain pipe 420 to drain the sewage. At the same time, the warning light 427 lights up to remind the staff to handle the situation. During normal filtration, the positioning plate 426 at one end of the mounting rod 425 engages with the positioning slot 7 on the outside of the water distributor device 3, achieving a self-locking setting to prevent anyone from arbitrarily opening the filter cleaning component 4. When too many impurities are detected and need to be treated, the control device controls the electromagnet 423 to be energized, which drives the mounting rod 425 to move through the spring 424, causing the positioning plate 426 to move out of the positioning slot 7, opening the locking device, and facilitating the maintenance and cleaning of the filter cleaning component 4 by the staff.
