Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of aluminum air fuel power sources, in particular to a bus shelter powered by a new type of energy. Background Art
[0002] Most of the existing bus shelters in remote areas have no power supply facilities or are partially powered by city electricity. Some are powered by a combination of solar power generation and city electricity. For some remote areas where bus stops are scattered, the cost of laying city electricity is high, and solar power supply is not feasible in some areas with poor sunshine. In general, the problems of traditional bus shelters are: 1. If city electricity is used, power cables must be laid along the line, which is costly; 2. Remote stations use photovoltaic power generation alone. Although there is no need to lay cables, there is a defect of insufficient power supply and inability to achieve long-term continuous and uninterrupted power supply under special circumstances such as poor sunshine. Summary of the invention
[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a bus shelter powered by a new type of energy, so as to ensure that even bus shelters in remote areas can still provide continuous and uninterrupted electricity for a long time without the need to lay municipal cables, thereby further broadening the application scenarios of aluminum air fuel power sources.
[0004] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is:
[0005] A bus shelter powered by a new type of energy, the bus shelter comprising:
[0006] A bus shelter frame, on which useful electrical components are installed;
[0007] An aluminum air fuel power source, which can output electric energy and be electrically connected to the electric components;
[0008] An energy storage module, which can output electrical energy and is electrically connected to the electrical components; and
[0009] A control system, the control system comprising a control module, the input end of the control module is connected to the aluminum air fuel power supply and the energy storage module, and the output end is connected to the power-consuming components;
[0010] The control system shown can control the aluminum-air fuel power supply and energy storage module to supply power to electrical components manually or automatically. The bus shelter of the present application uses an aluminum-air fuel power supply and energy storage module to supply power to the electrical components on the bus shelter, without laying additional cables. The aluminum-air fuel power supply and energy storage module are used to intelligently supply power to the electrical components through the control module, ensuring continuous and uninterrupted power supply for a long time when the bus is waiting.
[0011] As a preferred technical solution, the electrical components are at least one of an intelligent station announcer, a station light, an advertising light, and an information display screen.
[0012] As a preferred technical solution, a solar photovoltaic module is also installed on the bus shelter frame, and the solar photovoltaic module is electrically connected to the energy storage module. The solar photovoltaic module can output electrical energy to supplement the energy storage module.
[0013] As a preferred technical solution, the aluminum-air-fuel power source is also electrically connected to the energy storage module, and the aluminum-air-fuel power source can output electrical energy to supplement the energy storage module.
[0014] As a preferred technical solution, the control system also includes switches, data acquisition and automatic control centers.
[0015] As a preferred technical solution, the control module includes a DC / AC inverter and a DC / DC rectifier.
[0016] As a preferred technical solution, a 1# switch is provided between the energy storage module and the DC / AC inverter and / or the DC / DC rectifier.
[0017] As a preferred technical solution, a 2# switch is provided between the aluminum air fuel power source and the DC / AC inverter and / or the DC / DC rectifier.
[0018] As a preferred technical solution, a 3# switch is provided between the aluminum air fuel power source and the energy storage module.
[0019] As a preferred technical solution, the control system can also remotely monitor and record the operating status data of the bus shelter.
[0020] The technical solution of this application can transform traditional bus shelters to provide stable power supply in off-grid conditions. Photovoltaic power generation is used to supply power during periods of good sunshine and excess power is stored in the energy storage module. In poor sunshine conditions, the energy storage module first supplies power to the outside. When the system detects that the power of the energy storage module is lower than a certain value, the aluminum-air power supply starts to supply power. The switching system power supply time can be set intelligently, and power supply can be intelligently supplied according to the bus passenger flow or operating time period to avoid power waste. Aluminum-air fuel cell power generation is an electrochemical reaction, and its products can be recycled and reused, which is green and environmentally friendly.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:
[0022] The bus shelter of the utility model integrates traditional bus shelters, advertising light boxes, intelligent station announcers, large-capacity aluminum air fuel power supplies, lithium battery energy storage devices, photovoltaic power generation devices, photovoltaic controllers, control systems and other devices into one, and is upgraded to an intelligent bus shelter. Its operation does not require the laying of municipal electricity, and is suitable for the renovation and upgrading of existing bus shelters, and is more practical for solving the power supply problem of bus shelters in remote areas.
[0023] The utility model transforms the traditional bus shelter roof into a photovoltaic panel, converts solar energy into electrical energy through a photovoltaic controller and stores it in a lithium battery energy storage module, providing power for the shelter's intelligent station announcer, advertising light boxes and other equipment, while also providing monitoring and starting power for the aluminum air fuel power supply.
[0024] In general, the bus shelter of the present invention is powered by a combination of solar power generation and aluminum-air fuel power supply. It does not require AC power laying equipment. It uses solar photovoltaic power generation for power supply and energy storage in an environment with sufficient sunshine. In continuous rainy weather, the aluminum-air fuel power supply provides electricity, which well compensates for the risk of power outages when photovoltaic power generation is insufficient. The overall power supply reliability of the bus shelter of the present application is high. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0042] The bus shelter powered by new energy in this application is mainly used in bus waiting stations on relatively remote roads without mains electricity. It can also be used in energy replenishment during travel, emergency rescue power supply and other occasions. It has the characteristics of long power supply time, safety and reliability, energy saving and high efficiency, and green environmental protection. The operation mode is divided into three modes: debugging (manual) mode, automatic operation mode, and remote operation mode; the manual mode is mainly used for power supply maintenance, debugging and fuel replacement, and the automatic mode is used for normal use. The system automatically adjusts the output according to parameters such as operating temperature, voltage, and power. The remote mode is mainly used for remote status monitoring, data recording, etc.
[0043] The operation mode of the bus shelter powered by the new energy of the present application is as follows: first, after the installation and debugging is completed, the solar photovoltaic panel 61 automatically starts working, and the photovoltaic controller 62 converts solar energy into electrical energy and stores it in the energy storage module 3; secondly, the aluminum air fuel power source 2 and the energy storage module 3 are operated in parallel, and the entire control system has two operation modes: manual and automatic, which are as follows:
[0044] Manual operation workflow, such as Figure 2 As shown: After the system is turned on, it will start self-checking and automatically display the remaining power of the lithium battery energy storage module 3 and the aluminum air fuel power supply 2 and the equipment status (i.e. whether there is any fault) and other information. The operation and maintenance personnel can choose to use the energy storage module 3 to supply power to the outside or the aluminum air fuel power supply 2 to supply power to the outside according to the system information, and can also use the aluminum air fuel power supply 2 to charge the energy storage module 3. Specifically, when the aluminum-air-fuel power supply 2 alarms for insufficient fuel, it can be switched to the energy storage module 3 for power supply, during which the fuel is replaced. The energy storage module 3 can be manually started to put the energy storage module 3 in a discharging working state, and the output electric energy is inverted and / or rectified by the DC / DC rectifier 42 and / or the DC / AC inverter 41, and then output to other electrical equipment such as the site lights 52 (lighting), the advertising lights 53 in the light box, the smart station announcer 51 and the information display screen 54; when the lithium battery energy storage module 3 alarms for insufficient stored power, it can be switched to the aluminum-air-fuel power supply 2 for power supply, during which the aluminum-air-fuel power supply 2 can be used to charge the energy storage module 3. Similarly, the aluminum-air-fuel power supply 2 can be manually started to put the aluminum-air-fuel power supply 2 in a discharging working state, and the output electric energy is inverted and / or rectified by the DC / DC rectifier 42 and / or the DC / AC inverter 41, and then output to other electrical equipment such as the site lights 52 (lighting), the advertising lights 53 in the light box, the smart station announcer 51 and the information display screen 54. In special emergency power situations, the energy storage module 3 and the aluminum air fuel power source 2 can be manually turned on at the same time to supply power to the outside.
[0045] Automated workflows such as Figure 3As shown: the system automatically self-checks after startup, and the data acquisition module in the data acquisition and automatic control center 46 automatically reads the power and voltage information of the energy storage module 3, as well as the power, temperature and voltage of the aluminum air fuel power source 2. When the system is in the power supply time period, the PLC control unit of the data acquisition and automatic control center 46 automatically connects the energy storage module 3 (closes the 1# switch 43), and the power of the energy storage module 3 reaches the DC / DC rectifier 42 and / or DC / AC inverter 41 after passing through the 1# switch 43, and is output to the relevant power components 5 of the bus shelter after rectification and / or inversion. When the power of the energy storage module 3 is lower than the set value, the aluminum air fuel power supply 2 automatically starts to run (close switch 2# 44), and the power of the aluminum air fuel power supply 2 reaches the DC / DC rectifier 42 and / or DC / AC inverter 41 after passing through switch 2# 44, and is output to the relevant power components 5 of the bus shelter after rectification and / or inversion. At this time, the aluminum air fuel power supply 2 and the energy storage module 3 are powered at the same time; when the output voltage of the aluminum air fuel power supply 2 is higher than that of the energy storage module 3, it automatically switches to independent power supply of the aluminum air fuel power supply 2 (disconnect switch 1# 43), and when the power load of the external load is small, the system automatically stores the excess power in the energy storage module 3 (close switch 3# 45). During the whole process, the solar photovoltaic module continues to generate electricity, and the photovoltaic controller 62 controls the detection of the power of the energy storage battery and whether to recharge it.
