[0040] Fig.15 yes Fig.14 A partial view of the . Specific implementation method:

[0042] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0043] One embodiment: The utility model air compression energy storage and charging device comprises an upper water tank 1 located at a high place and a storage compartment 3 located at a low place and connected to the upper water tank 1 through a water pipeline 2, such as Figure 2As shown, the upper water tank 1 is located on the ground, and the storage tank 3 is located 500-1000 meters underground. The storage tank 3 can be an underground salt cavern. The water pipeline 2 is provided with a branch pipeline 4 connected to the storage tank 3. The branch pipeline 4 is connected in series with a turbine 5. The turbine 5 is connected to a first generator 6 to drive the first generator 6 to generate electricity when the turbine 5 is rotated by the impact of the water flow. The branch pipeline 4 and the water pipeline 2 are respectively provided with a switch water valve 7; the storage tank 3 is also connected to a gas pipeline 8, and the inlet of the gas pipeline 8 is connected to the gas pipeline 8. A compression pipeline 9 and an expansion pipeline 10 are connected in parallel at the end, the compression pipeline 9 is connected in sequence to an air compressor 11 (it can also be other air compression units, such as an air pump, etc.) and a first switch air valve 12, the expansion pipeline 10 is connected in sequence to a turbine 13 and a second switch air valve 14, the turbine 13 is connected to a second generator 15, so that when the turbine 13 is rotated by the impact of the high-pressure airflow, it drives the second generator 15 to generate electricity, and the storage compartment 3 is also connected to an exhaust pipeline 17 with an exhaust switch valve 16.

[0044] In order to improve the thermal efficiency, a first heat exchange chamber 18 is connected in series between the air compressor 11 and the first switch valve 12 on the compression pipeline 9, and a second heat exchange chamber 19 is connected in series between the turbine 13 and the second switch valve 14 on the expansion pipeline 10. Figure 2 shown.

[0045] Since air generates heat during the compression process, the heat can be stored in the insulation box through the heat exchange chamber and the insulation box. When air compression needs to generate electricity, the high-pressure gas needs to increase the temperature to improve the power generation efficiency of the turbine. The heat exchanger can be used to reversely replenish energy to the turbine, thereby improving the efficiency of the high-pressure gas input to the turbine.

[0046] Preferably, the first heat exchange chamber 18 and the second heat exchange chamber 19 are respectively connected to the insulation box 20 to achieve heat exchange between each other, and flowing water circulates in the first heat exchange chamber 18, the second heat exchange chamber 19 and the insulation box 20 to achieve heat exchange; the first heat exchange chamber 18 and the second heat exchange chamber 19 are placed in a position where they can be directly exposed to the sun to increase the temperature of the water in the first heat exchange chamber and the second heat exchange chamber.

[0047] An embodiment of the cold and heat exchange chamber (such as Figure 5 , 6, 7), the first heat exchange chamber 18 and the second heat exchange chamber 19 each include at least two groups of independent heat-conducting shells 21 that are closely attached to each other and overlapped, the heat-conducting shell 21 includes an outer shell 24 with an inlet 22 and an outlet 23 and a heat-conducting plate 25 arranged in the outer shell to separate it into an upper cavity and a lower cavity, the upper cavity 26 and the lower cavity 27 are communicated with the inlet 22 and the outlet 23, the heat-conducting plate 25 is densely covered with through holes 28 that connect the upper cavity and the lower cavity, a plurality of rib plates 29 are arranged in parallel and spaced apart in the upper and lower cavities, and the chambers separated by the rib plates 29 are communicated through channels 30 on the rib plates.

[0048] Another embodiment of the heat exchange chamber (such as Figure 5 , 6 , 8), the first heat exchange chamber and the second heat exchange chamber have three groups of heat-conducting shells which are sequentially attached and stacked, wherein the middle group of heat-conducting shells has independent inlet and outlet, and the inlet and outlet of the upper and lower groups of heat-conducting shells are shared.

[0049] Another embodiment of the heat exchange chamber (such as Figure 5 , 6 , 9), the first heat exchange chamber and the second heat exchange chamber have four groups of heat-conducting shells which are sequentially attached and stacked, wherein the inlet and outlet of the heat-conducting shells of the first group and the third group are shared, and the inlet and outlet of the heat-conducting shells of the second group and the fourth group are shared.

[0050] When storing energy, high-pressure water pressure is input into the storage compartment to squeeze the air in the compartment, so that the air reaches the pressure required by the air compression unit (air compressor), providing stable pressure support for the stable operation of inputting high-pressure gas;

[0051] During power generation, the upper water tank transmits high-pressure water flow to the turbine through a water pipe, driving the turbine to rotate and generate electricity. The upper water reservoir is connected to the storage tank through a water pipe, and the water pipe is branched at the storage tank, so that power generation and drainage can be isolated and separated without affecting each other. When high-pressure air enters the storage tank, it squeezes the water surface in the tank from top to bottom, and the water is discharged from the outlet to the upper water tank through the water pipe without passing through the turbine and being affected by the resistance of the turbine, allowing water to be discharged smoothly and reducing energy loss.

[0052] Air compression energy storage: Start the air compression unit (air compressor) to input high-pressure gas into the storage compartment. After the high-pressure gas enters the storage compartment, it squeezes the water surface downward. After the air pressure sensor feedbacks that the air pressure is greater than the water pressure, the water valve is opened. At this time, the storage compartment is filled with water, and the water in the compartment is discharged from the water outlet through the water pipe to the upper pool. When the water level in the compartment is lower than the safe water level, turn off the air compression unit, close the first switch air valve, close the switch water gate, and the air compression energy storage ends.

[0053] 1. The working method of the air compression energy storage and energy replenishing device of the utility model is that in the initial state, the switch water valve, the first switch air valve and the second switch air valve are closed, the exhaust switch valve is opened, the storage compartment is a cavity, and it is connected to the outside world through the exhaust pipe, and the cavity pressure in the storage compartment is the same as the outside pressure; when power generation is required (that is, during peak power consumption), the switch water valve on the branch pipe is opened, and the water in the upper water tank flows through the branch pipe due to gravity, driving the turbine to work and realizing the first generator to generate electricity; when the water level sensor in the storage compartment senses that the water level in the compartment is almost full, after the exhaust switch valve is closed, the water in the upper water tank flows into the storage compartment due to gravity, realizing the compression of the air in the storage compartment. When the air in the storage compartment is compressed to equilibrium, that is, the air in the storage compartment can no longer be compressed, the branch pipe does not continue to be compressed. The water is passed through and no power generation continues; when the electricity consumption is low (the electricity fee is cheap), the switch water valves on the water pipeline and the branch pipeline are closed, the first switch air valve is opened, and the second switch air valve is closed, and the compressor is powered by the cheaper power grid to pressurize air with a higher pressure than the air in the storage tank into the storage tank, and at the same time, the switch water valve of the water pipeline is opened, so that the water in the storage tank is squeezed back into the upper water tank through the water pipeline. When the water in the storage tank is completely squeezed out of the storage tank, the first switch air valve and the switch water valve of the water pipeline are closed; when power generation is needed, the second switch air valve is opened, and the high-pressure air in the storage tank drives the turbine to work through the air pipeline, so that the turbine drives the second generator to generate electricity. After the high-pressure air in the storage tank is completely output, the storage tank returns to the aforementioned initial state.

[0054] During the operation of the above-mentioned compressor, the compressed air passing through the gas pipeline carries a large amount of heat. After passing through the first heat exchange chamber, the compressed air exchanges heat with the water medium or oil medium in the insulation box through the first heat exchange chamber, and the heat is retained in the insulation box. During the operation of the turbine, the water in the insulation box exchanges heat with the second heat exchange chamber, and the compressed air passing through the gas pipeline is subjected to heat transfer from the second heat exchange chamber, so that the temperature of the compressed air flowing through the second heat exchange chamber is increased, the pressure of the compressed air is increased, the power of the turbine shaft is increased, and the power generation efficiency of the second generator is improved.

[0055] like Fig.10As shown, another embodiment, the above-mentioned storage tanks have multiple levels, namely the first-level storage tank, the second-level storage tank,... the N-th level storage tank, the setting depth of each level of the storage tank decreases successively, the storage tanks of each level are connected to the water pipeline 2 through two water branch pipelines and the switch water valve 7 on the water branch pipeline, the turbine 5 is connected in series to the first water branch pipeline 4 of the first-level storage tank, and the second water branch pipeline 4 of each level of the storage tank is connected to the outlet of the turbine 5 through a switch water valve 7; the storage tanks of each level are connected to the gas pipeline 8 through the gas branch pipeline and the switch gas valve 31 on the gas branch pipeline, the gas pipeline 8 is connected to the exhaust port and the exhaust switch valve 16, and the gas pipeline 8 is connected to the compression pipeline 9 and the expansion pipeline 10.

[0056] In this embodiment, in the initial state, the water valves 7 at each level, the first gas valve 12 and the second gas valve 14 are closed, the exhaust valve 16 is opened, and the gas valves of the storage compartments at each level are opened. The storage compartments at each level are cavities, which are connected to the outside world through the exhaust pipe 8. The cavity pressure in the storage compartments at each level is the same as the outside pressure. When power generation is required (i.e., during peak power consumption), the exhaust valve is opened, and the gas valves at each level and the water valves of the branch pipelines are opened and closed step by step. The N-th gas valve and the water valve of the branch pipeline are opened, and water is introduced into the N-th storage compartment until it is full of water. Then, the N-th gas valve and the water valve of the branch pipeline are closed, and then the N-th gas valve and the water valve of the branch pipeline are opened... to the first level. After the storage tank is full of water, close the switch air valve of the first-stage storage tank and the switch water valve of the branch pipeline to ensure that when each stage of the storage tank is filled with water, the water will flow through the turbine. The water in the upper water tank flows through the branch water pipeline due to gravity, driving the turbine to work and realizing the power generation of the first generator. When the water finally enters the first-stage storage tank, the water level sensor in the first-stage storage tank senses that the water in the tank is almost full, and closes the exhaust valve and the switch air valve of the first-stage storage tank. The water in the upper water tank continues to flow into the storage tanks of each stage due to gravity to compress the air in the first-stage storage tank.
