Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a heat collection device, in particular to a solar collector. Background Art

[0002] Solar energy is a clean and pollution-free renewable energy source. Among them, the heat collection tube and the concentrator are key components in the solar thermal utilization system, mainly used to collect sunlight and convert it into heat energy, which can maximize the absorption of solar radiation and reduce heat loss at the same time to improve the solar energy utilization efficiency. Among them, the compound parabolic concentrator (abbreviated as CPC) is a non-imaging low-focus concentrator, which is designed according to the edge ray principle and can collect the incident light within a given acceptance angle range onto the heat collection tube according to the ideal concentration ratio. Due to its large acceptance angle, it does not require a solar tracking device during operation. Only by adjusting the inclination angle or position regularly every year according to the size of the acceptance angle and the number of hours of sunlight collection can it work effectively, and it can meet the requirements of medium and high temperature heat collection.

[0003] However, most of the existing CPC collectors adopt a fixed design, and their installation brackets do not support the adjustment of the angle, position, etc. of the collector. Given that the solar altitude angle changes with seasons, in order to improve the concentration ratio and utilization rate of solar energy, currently, CPC collector brackets with multiple reserved holes are introduced on the market. Users can disassemble and install different reserved holes according to seasons to adjust the tilt angle to fix the CPC collector. Compared with the fixed CPC collector, it can collect solar energy more effectively. However, the adjustability of this kind of bracket is limited, only providing some fixed adjustment angles and positions, lacking universality. When the installation location changes, it is necessary to redesign and manufacture the bracket to optimize the solar energy utilization rate of the CPC collector, which limits its application range and thus affects the wide promotion of the CPC solar collector and the efficient utilization of solar energy.

The concentrating heat collection unit 1 can rotate on the supporting cross beam 4, so as to adjust the angle of the CPC concentrating plate 2 facing the sun and improve the utilization rate of solar energy; and the vacuum glass heat pipe 3 is bundled on the placing block 5 by a U-shaped Ohm clamp. A number of positioning rings 6 are evenly spaced on the CPC concentrating plate 2. The vacuum glass heat pipe 3 passes through the fixing ring, and the bottom of the fixing ring is connected to the CPC concentrating plate 2.

[0031] Based on the above-mentioned Embodiment 1, as Figure 3 with Figure 6 shown in the figure, the CPC concentrating plate 2 is composed of a combination of two parabolic surfaces and involute surfaces with arcs. The bottom of the positioning ring 6 is symmetrically provided with supporting feet 7. The supporting feet 7 are provided with arc-shaped protrusions that fit the arc inside the CPC concentrating plate 2. Through the arc-shaped protrusions, the positioning ring 6 can be quickly positioned on the center line of the CPC concentrating plate 2, so as to ensure that the vacuum glass heat pipe 3 can be installed on the center line of the CPC concentration.

[0032] Embodiment 2: As Figure 7 shown in the figure, the bottom of the CPC concentrating plate 2 is provided with a bottom fixing part 8 for supporting and fixing the CPC concentrating plate 2. The bottom fixing part 8 is provided with an arc-shaped groove that fits the bottom arc of the CPC concentrating plate 2. Through the bottom fixing part 8, the deformation of the CPC concentrating plate 2 is avoided, which affects the reflection of sunlight; the bottom fixing part 8 is connected and fixed to the positioning ring 6 arranged on the CPC concentrating plate 2 through a connecting part 9.

[0033] Embodiment 3: As Figure 2 with Figure 3 shown in the figure, the concentrating heat collection unit 1 is further provided with a fixed frame 10. The two sides of the fixed frame 10 are connected and fixed to the CPC concentrating plate 2; when there are a number of concentrating heat collection units 1, the concentrating heat collection units 1 are connected and fixed to each other through a top cross beam 11 and the corresponding fixed frames 10 on the concentrating heat collection units 1.

[0034] Embodiment 4: As Figure 1 with Figure 8As shown in the figure, a solar collector is further provided with a lateral adjustment assembly and a longitudinal adjustment assembly. The concentrating and heat-collecting unit 1 adjusts its position by displacement along the directions of the lateral adjustment assembly and the longitudinal adjustment assembly.

The concentrating and heat-collecting unit 1 is arranged on the lateral guide rail 12, and the concentrating and heat-collecting unit 1 is connected to the sliding adjustment block 13 through the bolt 14.

[0035] Embodiment 5: As Figure 1 With Figure 8 As shown in the figure, a solar collector is further provided with a lateral adjustment assembly and a longitudinal adjustment assembly. The concentrating and heat-collecting unit 1 adjusts its position by displacement along the directions of the lateral adjustment assembly and the longitudinal adjustment assembly. The longitudinal adjustment assembly includes a longitudinal guide rail 15 and a flat fixture 16. One end of the flat fixture 16 is fixedly connected to the concentrating and heat-collecting unit 1 or the lateral adjustment assembly, and the other end of the flat fixture 16 is slidably arranged on the longitudinal guide rail 15 and slides along the direction of the longitudinal guide rail 15.

[0036] A double-layer glass tube is provided inside the vacuum glass heat pipe 3. The inner glass tube is coated with a selective absorption coating as a heat absorber, which can effectively absorb sunlight and increase the optical efficiency of the heat pipe. The inner glass tube of this device is provided with a working medium flow channel, and the working medium flow channel is closely attached to the inner glass tube, thereby reducing the thermal resistance; a vacuum is drawn between the inner glass tube and the outer glass tube, so as to effectively prevent heat from being dissipated by convection; when sunlight shines or is reflected by the CPC concentrating plate 2 onto the selective absorption coating, heat is generated and transferred to the working medium flow channel. After the working medium flow channel obtains heat, it heats the heat-collecting medium in the working medium flow channel. The heat-collecting medium is generally kerosene.

[0037] Among them, as Figure 3 As shown in the figure, in order to further protect the vacuum glass heat pipe 3, silica gel protective sleeves 17 are respectively provided at both ends of the vacuum glass heat pipe 3.

By loosening the bolt 14 and the sliding adjustment block 13, the supporting cross beam can slide on the transverse guide rail 12 to adjust the lateral position of the concentrating heat collection unit 1. After adjusting the position, tighten the bolt 14 so that the sliding adjustment block 13 and the supporting cross beam 4 cooperate with each other to clamp and fix the transverse guide rail 12, thereby installing and fixing the concentrating heat collection unit 1 on the transverse guide rail 12; the transverse guide rail 12 is arranged on the longitudinal guide rail, and the flat fixture 16 clamps on the longitudinal guide rail. When the flat fixture 16 is loosened, the transverse guide rail 12 can slide on the longitudinal guide rail to adjust the longitudinal position of the concentrating heat collection unit 1. After adjusting the position of the heat collection tube body, clamp and fix the flat fixture 16 on the longitudinal guide rail, thereby installing and fixing the concentrating heat collection unit 1 on the longitudinal guide rail; at the same time, by placing the vacuum glass heat collection tube 3 on the placing block 5 and rotating it, it is convenient to adjust the angle of the CPC concentrating plate 2 so that sunlight shines on the CPC concentrating plate 2. The CPC concentrating plate 2 reflects the light onto the vacuum glass heat collection tube 3, and the vacuum glass heat collection tube 3 converts solar energy into heat energy. The bottom fixing member 8 can support the CPC concentrating plate 2 to prevent the CPC concentrating plate 2 from deforming.
