[0018] The structure of the utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0019] Reference Figure 1A self-heating molten salt storage tank for solar thermal power generation includes a box body 1 and a box cover 2. The box body 1 includes an outer shell 11 and an insulation wall 12 and an insulation base 13 arranged in the outer shell. The insulation base is arranged at the bottom of the outer shell, and the insulation wall is arranged in contact with the outer surface of the side wall of the outer shell. A heating device 3 for heating the molten salt 8 in the box body is arranged on the insulation base. A solar panel 4 is laid on the box cover. The solar panel supplies power to the heating device. A temperature control system 5 for controlling the operation of the heating device is arranged on the insulation wall. A molten salt inlet 21 is arranged on the box cover 2, and a molten salt outlet 14 is arranged at the bottom of the box body 1. The solar panel converts light energy into electrical energy to supply power to the heating device, realizing the self-heating function. The insulation wall and the insulation base are insulated. When the molten salt temperature is not enough, it can be powered by the solar thermal power generation cycle power supply system. The temperature control system automatically controls the temperature of the heating device to heat to the target temperature, keeps the temperature in the entire box stable, and ensures that the temperature of the molten salt at the bottom of the box is consistent with the temperature of the molten salt flowing into the molten salt inlet, without energy loss.
[0020] In this embodiment, the molten salt outlet 14 is provided with an outlet molten salt fluid pump 6, and the molten salt inlet 21 is provided with an inlet molten salt fluid pump 7. The inlet molten salt fluid pump pumps the high-temperature molten salt into the box, and the outlet molten salt fluid pump pumps the high-temperature molten salt into the rear system to realize the self-circulation flow of the molten salt, so as to better exchange heat in the system. In this embodiment, the outlet molten salt fluid pump and the inlet molten salt fluid pump are both connected to the solar panels. The laid solar panels are evenly laid on the box cover, making full use of the sunlight resources in its working environment to power the bottom heating device in the box, and can also provide electricity for other aspects such as surrounding civil air defense projects, outlet molten salt fluid pumps, and inlet molten salt fluid pumps. The outlet molten salt fluid pump and the inlet molten salt fluid pump can also be powered by a solar thermal power generation circulation system.
[0021] In this embodiment, the insulation wall 12 includes an inner insulation wall 121 and an outer insulation wall 122, and both the inner insulation wall and the outer insulation wall are cast in two sections by insulation materials, and both the inner insulation wall and the outer insulation wall include a first casting layer 1211 and a second casting layer 1212, and a contraction joint 1213 is provided between the first casting layer and the second casting layer. The inner insulation wall 121 and the outer insulation wall 122 are cast in two sections, and a contraction joint is reserved between the two ends so that the insulation wall can expand freely. The first casting layer and the second casting layer are provided with a first step 12111 and a second step 12121 that cooperate with each other. The first casting layer and the second casting layer adopt an anisotropic casting matching method to avoid leakage of molten salt in the box due to the reserved expansion joint, which will cause corrosion to the outer shell.
[0022] In this embodiment, the insulation material is a high-chromium insulation material. The high-chromium insulation material has good casting molding, good hardness, corrosion resistance and good insulation effect. In this embodiment, the shell is a metal material.

[0024] The heat insulation layer is a perlite heat insulation brick layer, and the heat resistant layer is a heat resistant brick layer. The heating device 3 is a heating resistance wire. A layer of perlite heat insulation bricks is first laid on the bottom of the shell, and then a layer of heat resistant rotor is laid. Because the temperature difference between the inlet molten salt temperature and the outlet molten salt temperature is large, the bottom insulation is thickened, and a heating resistance wire is installed on the heat resistant rotor to heat to the target temperature when the temperature is not enough.
