[0027] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0028] See also Figure 1-5 , a device for enhancing the heat exchange efficiency of a geotechnical energy storage recycling system, comprising an inner tube 101 and an outer tube 102 sleeved outside the inner tube 101, a filler is arranged on the outer side of the outer tube 102, and a bottom plate 103 is connected to the bottom of the outer tube 102;

[0029] The temperature at the bottom of the heat exchange pipe is the highest. The following provides a structure that can increase the heat exchange area at the bottom: Specifically, a through pipe 104 is connected to the bottom plate 103, and the through pipe 104 extends into the outer pipe 102. The flow groove 119 at the bottom of the through pipe 104 is used for the high-temperature fluid in the geothermal rock formation to pass through. When the high-temperature fluid flows through, it exchanges heat with the internal heat exchange medium through the outer wall of the through pipe 104. The top of the through pipe 104 is connected to the heat exchange column 105. The through pipe 104 and the inside of the heat exchange column 105 are connected. The bottom of the through pipe 104 is provided with a flow groove 119 with an opening facing downward;

[0030] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The interior of the heat exchange column 105 is connected with a vertically arranged baffle 106. The top of the baffle 106 does not contact the heat exchange column 105, and the water flow can move to the other side. The bottom of the baffle 106 is connected with guide plates 107 on both sides. The guide plates 107 are located in the flow groove 119. When the high-temperature fluid flows from the flow groove 119, it will be guided by the guide plates 107 to the heat exchange column 105, so as to flow in the heat exchange column 105. The heat exchange column 105 goes deep into the inner tube 101, and the heat exchange area with the heat exchange medium in the inner tube 101 is increased through the heat exchange column 105.

[0031] When the inner tube 101 is installed, it may not be coaxial with the outer tube 102. The following provides a structure that facilitates the installation of the inner tube 101 and can support the inner tube 101: Figure 4 and Figure 5 , a fixing ring 108 is connected to the top of the bottom plate 103, and the fixing ring 108 is located on the outside of the heat exchange column 105. A positioning ring 114 is connected to the bottom of the inner tube 101. When the inner tube 101 is lowered in the outer tube 102, the positioning ring 114 at the bottom will come into contact with the inclined surface of the side wall of the second conical ring 112. As the inner tube 101 is lowered continuously, the positioning ring 114 will slide to the position of the arc groove 113, thereby completing the installation and fixation of the positioning ring 114 and the fixing ring 108. At this time, they are in a coaxial state. The positioning ring 114 is connected to the top of the fixing ring 108. A water groove is provided at the bottom of the outer ring surface of the fixing ring 108, and a circular array of water holes 109 are provided at the bottom of the inner tube 101;

[0032] When the heat exchange medium flows in the outer tube 102, a nearly static fluid layer will be formed close to the tube wall. This is the boundary layer. The following provides a structure that can break the boundary layer: Figure 2 The inner annular surface of the outer tube 102 is provided with multiple sections of spiral ribs 110, and adjacent ribs 110 are arranged in opposite directions. Through the multiple sections of reversely arranged ribs 110, the heat exchange medium will change its flow state when flowing, thereby breaking the boundary layer and improving the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchange medium.

[0033] Specifically, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The following provides a structure that facilitates the insertion of the positioning ring 114 into the arc groove 113: a first conical ring 111 and a second conical ring 112 are arranged on the top of the fixing ring 108, the height of the first conical ring 111 is lower than the second conical ring 112, the second conical ring 112 is located on the outside of the first conical ring 111, and the positioning ring 114 will first come into contact with the second conical ring 112 during the downward movement, and an arc groove 113 is arranged between the first conical ring 111 and the second conical ring 112.

[0034] Specifically, refer to Figure 5 The bottom of the positioning ring 114 is provided with an arc surface corresponding to the arc groove 113. The inner tube 101 drives the positioning ring 114 to move downward. The arc surface at the bottom of the positioning ring 114 will come into contact with the inclined surface of the second conical ring 112 close to the axis, and then move toward the axis, and then move into the arc groove 113, thereby ensuring that the inner tube 101 and the outer tube 102 are coaxially arranged, and the positioning ring 114 is located in the arc groove 113.

[0035] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The top of the outer tube 102 is connected to a return water connection device 115, and a return water pipe is connected to the return water connection device 115. The heat exchange medium is added into the outer tube 102 through the return water pipe. The top of the return water connection device 115 is connected to a bottom flange 116, and the top of the inner tube 101 is connected to a top flange 117. The top flange 117 and the bottom flange 116 are connected by bolts.

[0036] Specifically, taking Figure 3 and Figure 5 Water guiding arc surfaces 118 are provided on both sides of the top of the positioning ring 114 . The water will flow along the water guiding arc surfaces 118 toward the inner tube 101 , then enter the inner tube 101 through the water holes 109 , and then come into contact with the heat exchange column 105 .

[0037] In this embodiment, a well is drilled on the ground, and the outer tube 102 is lowered into the well, and then the inner tube 101 is lowered into the outer tube 102. The positioning ring 114 at the bottom of the inner tube 101 will come into contact with the second conical ring 112, and then move toward the axial position of the outer tube 102, and then fall into the arc groove 113. At this time, the fixed ring 108 can support the inner tube 101. The heat exchange medium will enter the inner tube 101 from the water groove at the bottom of the fixed ring 108 during the flow of the outer tube 102. The heat exchange medium close to the inner tube 101 will also enter the inner tube 101 from the water hole 109. When flowing, it will come into contact with the heat exchange column 105, thereby increasing the heat exchange area and improving the heat exchange amount.

[0038] Finally, the top flange 117 and the bottom flange 116 are connected together by bolts, thereby completing the connection and fixation of the inner tube 101 and the outer tube 102.

[0039] The above-mentioned implementation modes are only preferred implementation modes of the present invention, and cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by technicians in this field on the basis of the present invention shall fall within the scope of protection required by the present invention.
