Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ice storage devices, in particular to a novel gel cold storage device. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of industry and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, electricity consumption has increased rapidly. During peak hours, electricity supply is tight, while during off-peak hours, electricity resources are underutilized. Effectively shifting peak electricity demand, achieving "peak shifting and valley filling," balancing power supply, and improving energy utilization have become a key focus. Ice storage technology converts water into ice, utilizing the latent heat of ice's phase change to store cold. Ice is produced during low-peak hours and stored in an ice storage device. The ice melts during the day, releasing the cold, thereby reducing the electricity load on air conditioners during peak hours.

[0003] However, the hydrostatic pressure and lateral pressure generated by the large amount of water in the ice storage tank in the related technology require a thicker fixed layer and advanced welding technology, which results in higher cost of use; the freezing of water can easily cause pipe deformation or leakage, reducing service life; in addition, due to the low thermal conductivity of water and low heat conversion efficiency, the energy consumption of the entire device is higher.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The following describes embodiments of the present invention in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although certain embodiments of the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of the present invention. It should be understood that the accompanying drawings and embodiments of the present invention are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] The following describes some embodiments of the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments and features thereof may be combined with one another unless they conflict with each other. Furthermore, the sequence of steps in the following method embodiments is provided for illustrative purposes only and is not intended to be a strict limitation.

[0030] In current cold storage technologies, traditional cold storage devices primarily use water, brine, or other liquid media as cold storage materials. These devices typically consist of a cold storage tank and internal cold storage pipes. Traditional cold storage devices have played an important role in practical applications, particularly in air-conditioning systems, cold chain transportation, and cold storage, where they are widely used to store and release cold energy. However, traditional water-based or brine-based cold storage media have some significant drawbacks. For example, the hydrostatic pressure and lateral pressure generated by the large amount of water in the ice storage tank require a thicker fixed layer and advanced welding technology, resulting in higher costs. The freezing of water can easily cause pipe deformation or leakage, reducing service life. In addition, due to the low thermal conductivity of water, the heat conversion efficiency is low, resulting in high energy consumption for the entire device.

[0031] To solve the above problems, the embodiment of the present invention provides a new gel cold storage device to solve the problems of high use cost, high energy consumption and short service life of ice storage devices in related technologies due to pipe deformation or leakage caused by water freezing.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the novel gel cold storage device includes a cold storage box 1 and a cold storage component 2.

[0033] The cold storage assembly 2 is arranged in the cold storage box 1. The cold storage box 1 serves as the main container, accommodating the cold storage assembly 2 and filling it with cold storage material; the cold storage assembly 2 is used to achieve efficient storage and release of cold energy.

[0034] The cold storage box 1 is a rectangular hollow plate structure. A shell 3 is provided on the outside of the cold storage box 1 , and a gel mixed material 4 is filled in the cold storage box 1 .

[0035] In this embodiment, the cold storage box 1 with a rectangular cavity plate structure can provide a larger effective volume for storing cold storage materials; and the shell 3 can provide additional protection and support for the cold storage box 1.

[0036] In practical applications, the cold storage material is a gel mixed material 4. By replacing the liquid water in the traditional cold storage device with the gel mixed material 4, the leakage risk can be reduced and the heat storage performance can be improved.

[0037] Optionally, the gel mixture material 4 in this embodiment of the present invention is a mixture of gel ice and a thermally conductive material. The gel ice comprises a colloid-like substance formed by mixing water and a thickener. At low temperatures, it exhibits the properties of ice, but with improved physical stability and flexibility. The thermally conductive material can be boron nitride nanosheets, single-walled carbon nanotubes, or graphene. By adding the thermally conductive material, the thermal conductivity of the gel ice can be enhanced, reducing heat loss and improving overall energy efficiency.

[0038] The new gel-based cold storage device in this embodiment uses a gel-based mixed material 4 as its cold storage material, significantly reducing lateral pressure on the cold storage tank 1 shell. This eliminates the need for the metal profile fixing layer exceeding 5 cm thick, as is common in conventional ice storage devices. This not only reduces the overall weight of the device but also simplifies its manufacturing process. Furthermore, the gel-based ice and snow material remains solid in all states, eliminating the risk of liquid or water leakage, further enhancing the device's reliability and safety.

[0039] The cold storage assembly 2 includes multiple layers of cold storage plates 5 connected end to end from bottom to top. The multiple layers of cold storage plates 5 each include multiple cold storage tubes 6 connected in sequence. The multiple cold storage tubes 6 are each provided with cold storage fins 7.

[0040] In this embodiment, the layered structure of the cold storage plate 5 and the cold storage fins 7 optimize heat conduction and cold storage. Specifically, the multi-layered cold storage plate 5 increases refrigerant storage capacity; the cold storage tubes 6 provide a refrigerant channel; and the cold storage fins 7 increase the heat exchange area, improving cold transfer efficiency. Furthermore, the gel ice material does not expand after freezing, thus preventing excessive compressive force on the cold storage plate 5 and the cold storage tubes 6, thereby reducing the risk of damage to these areas. This extends the service life of the entire device, making it more stable and reliable over time, and reducing maintenance and replacement costs.

[0041] The high thermal conductivity of the gel-based ice material significantly improves the device's heat conversion efficiency. This efficient heat transfer not only accelerates the storage and release of cold, but also effectively reduces the device's energy consumption. By optimizing the heat transfer path and material properties, this new cold storage device achieves efficient cold management with low energy consumption.

[0042] In an optional embodiment, a plurality of cold storage fins 7 are provided, and the plurality of cold storage fins 7 are evenly arranged along the outer wall of the cold storage tube 6. By evenly arranging the plurality of cold storage fins 7 along the outer wall of the cold storage tube 6, the fins can be evenly distributed to maximize the heat exchange area.

[0043] Increasing the number of cold storage fins 7 increases the contact area between the refrigerant and the environment, improving heat exchange efficiency and enhancing cold storage. In this embodiment, two cold storage fins 7 are provided on each cold storage tube 6, one on the upper and one on the lower side. In practical applications, the number of cold storage fins 7 can be selected based on specific implementation needs. Furthermore, different fin shapes and materials can be used to further improve heat exchange efficiency and durability.

[0044] In an optional embodiment, the multiple layers of cold storage trays 5 are evenly arranged in the vertical direction, and adjacent cold storage trays 5 in the multiple layers of cold storage trays 5 are connected through the first bend pipe 8 .

[0045] In this embodiment, the multi-layer cold storage trays 5 arranged evenly in the vertical direction can ensure uniform flow of the refrigerant, prevent local overcooling or overheating, and ensure device stability. At the same time, the vertical arrangement can also improve the space utilization rate within the cold storage box 1.

[0046] One end of the bottommost cold storage tray 5 is connected to a coolant supply pipe 9, while one end of the topmost cold storage tray 5 is connected to a coolant outlet pipe 10. Accordingly, one side of the cold storage tank 1 and the outer shell 3 is provided with a supply pipe through-hole compatible with the coolant supply pipe 9 and an outlet pipe through-hole compatible with the coolant outlet pipe 10.

[0047] In this embodiment, a coolant supply pipe 9, connected to one end of the bottom cold storage tray 5, serves as the inlet for the entire cold storage device. This pipe introduces refrigerant into the device. By providing this supply pipe, the refrigerant enters from the bottom and passes through each layer of the cold storage tray 5 in sequence, ensuring an optimized refrigerant flow path and improving cold storage and transfer efficiency. A coolant outlet pipe 10, connected to one end of the top cold storage tray 5, serves as the device outlet. This outlet pipe allows the refrigerant to be discharged from the top, ensuring smooth refrigerant flow and continuity, improving cold utilization and device stability.

[0048] A through hole for the liquid supply pipe and a through hole for the liquid outlet pipe are provided on one side of the cold storage tank 1 and the housing 3. The through hole for the liquid supply pipe and the through hole for the liquid outlet pipe are adapted to the liquid supply pipe and the liquid outlet pipe, respectively, to ensure smooth flow of refrigerant in and out of the cold storage tank 1. By providing through holes adapted to the liquid supply pipe and the liquid outlet pipe, the operation of refrigerant in and out is simplified, improving the convenience and operating efficiency of the device.

[0049] This embodiment utilizes a bottom-up refrigerant flow path design. Refrigerant is introduced from the bottom via a liquid supply pipe, ensuring that each layer of the cold storage tray 5 receives refrigerant evenly, achieving layer-by-layer transfer and storage of cold energy. Refrigerant is discharged from the top via a liquid outlet pipe, completing the entire cooling cycle. This structure minimizes the refrigerant flow path within the device and optimizes efficiency, improving both cold storage and utilization.

[0050] In an optional embodiment, the connection between the cold storage tray 5 and the first curved pipe 8 is configured as a detachable connection through a connecting sleeve.

[0051] To provide a cool storage device structure that facilitates maintenance and overhaul, this embodiment introduces a detachable connection method, making the connection between the cool storage tray 5 and the first elbow 8 more flexible and convenient. This detachable connection sleeve-based structure not only improves the device's operability but also reduces downtime caused by component damage, thereby increasing the device's overall reliability and service life.

[0052] Specifically, the connecting sleeve is used to achieve a detachable connection between the cold storage tray 5 and the first curved pipe 8, serving as both a fixing and a connecting function. This detachable design makes the connection between the cold storage tray 5 and the curved pipe more flexible, facilitating disassembly and maintenance. Optionally, the connecting sleeve can employ a quick-disassembly and installation mechanism, such as a quick-release connector or a snap-on design, to improve disassembly and installation efficiency and further enhance maintenance convenience.

[0053] In an optional embodiment, the plurality of cold storage tubes 6 are evenly arranged in the horizontal direction, and adjacent cold storage tubes 6 among the plurality of cold storage tubes 6 are connected via the second bend tube 11 .

[0054] In this embodiment, the uniform horizontal arrangement and connection of the second elbow 11 allow the refrigerant to flow more smoothly within the cold storage tube 6, improving the efficiency of cold transfer. This structure maximizes the surface area of ​​the cold storage tube 6 for heat exchange, ensuring uniform distribution of the refrigerant and avoiding localized cold accumulation, thereby improving the overall efficiency and stability of the cold storage device.

[0055] In an optional embodiment, a reinforcement assembly 12 is provided on the outside of the housing 3, and the reinforcement assembly 12 includes a reinforcement column 13 and a reinforcement frame 14. The reinforcement column 13 includes two mutually perpendicular reinforcement plates, and there are four reinforcement columns 13, which are respectively fixed at the four corners of the housing 3; there are two reinforcement frames 14, which are respectively provided at the upper end and the lower end of the housing 3, and both reinforcement frames 14 are fixedly connected to the reinforcement columns 13.

[0056] In this embodiment, by adding reinforcement columns 13 and reinforcement frames 14 to the outer shell 3 of the cold storage device, the mechanical strength and stability of the entire device can be enhanced, and the outer shell 3 can be prevented from being deformed or damaged due to internal pressure or external impact during use. Specifically, the reinforcement columns 13 can enhance the strength of the four corners of the outer shell 3, and the reinforcement frame 14 can provide additional support at the top and bottom. Through the synergistic effect of the reinforcement columns 13 and the reinforcement frame 14, multi-directional support and fixation are provided, thereby improving the durability and safety of the device. Optionally, the reinforcement component 12 can be made of high-strength, lightweight materials such as aluminum alloy or carbon fiber, which not only provides the necessary mechanical strength but also reduces the overall weight.

[0057] In an optional embodiment, the outer shell 3 is provided with a thermal insulation layer 15 and a protective layer 16 in sequence from the inside out. In this embodiment, the multi-layer structure design of the outer shell 3 improves the thermal insulation performance and mechanical protection performance of the cold storage device, thereby improving the overall energy efficiency and durability of the device.

[0058] Specifically, the outer shell 3, as the outermost layer, protects the cold storage device from physical damage and chemical corrosion from the external environment, thereby improving the device's durability and safety. The thermal insulation layer 15 has excellent thermal insulation properties, significantly reducing heat transfer, thereby improving the energy efficiency of the cold storage device, extending the retention time of cold, and reducing energy consumption. The protective layer 16 effectively prevents mechanical damage to the insulation material during use, such as collisions and compression, thereby maintaining the integrity and thermal insulation properties of the thermal insulation layer 15 and improving the durability and reliability of the entire device.

[0059] In an optional embodiment, the cold storage tank 1 is made of polyethylene, the insulation layer 15 is made of polyurethane, and the protective layer 16 is made of polyethylene. In this embodiment, by properly selecting the materials for the cold storage tank 1, insulation layer 15, and protective layer 16, the performance and cost of the cold storage device are optimized, thereby improving the reliability and cost-effectiveness of the entire device.

[0060] Specifically, polyethylene is used as the material for cold storage box 1. Due to its excellent chemical resistance, corrosion resistance, and mechanical strength, polyethylene allows cold storage box 1 to withstand the refrigerant and gel mixture 4 within the cold storage device, maintaining structural stability and durability. Polyurethane is used as the material for insulation layer 15. Due to its low thermal conductivity and excellent thermal insulation properties, insulation layer 15 can effectively reduce heat transfer, improve the thermal insulation effect of the cold storage device, extend the cold retention time, and reduce energy consumption. Polyethylene is used as the material for protective layer 16, which also effectively protects insulation layer 15, maintains its thermal insulation properties, and extends the service life of the cold storage device.

[0061] The novel gel cold storage device in this embodiment utilizes a refrigerant cycle to achieve cold storage and release by placing multiple layers of cold storage trays 5 and a highly heat-conductive gel mixture 4 within a cold storage tank 1. Specifically, during cold storage, the refrigerant enters the bottom cold storage tray 5 through a liquid supply pipe, undergoes heat exchange with the cold storage tube 6 and cold storage fins 7, and removes heat from the gel material, causing it to freeze and store cold. The refrigerant then passes through the multiple layers of cold storage trays 5 and the curved pipe, ultimately being discharged through the liquid outlet pipe, completing the cycle. During cold release, the refrigerant reenters the cold storage tray 5 through the liquid supply pipe, undergoes heat exchange with the gel material, and transfers cold from the gel material to the refrigerant, causing the gel material to melt and release cold. After absorbing cold through the multiple layers of cold storage trays 5, the refrigerant is discharged through the liquid outlet pipe and transferred to an external air conditioner or refrigeration unit, achieving efficient cold release. The reinforcement assembly 12 ensures the stability and durability of the device, while the insulation layer 15 and protective layer 16 enhance the device's thermal efficiency and safety.

[0062] In practical applications, in response to the rapid growth of electricity consumption brought about by rapid industrial development and improved living standards of the people, the gel cold storage device of the embodiment of the utility model realizes the cold storage and release process by arranging multiple layers of cold storage disks 5 and filling highly heat-conductive gel mixed materials 4 in the cold storage box 1, and utilizes refrigerant circulation: during low-peak power consumption period, the refrigerant enters the bottom cold storage disk 5 through the liquid supply pipe, exchanges heat with the gel material through the cold storage tube 6 and the cold storage fin 7, so that the gel material freezes and stores cold energy; the refrigerant passes through the multiple layers of cold storage disks 5 and the bent pipe in turn, and is finally discharged through the liquid outlet pipe to complete the cycle; during peak power consumption period, the gel material melts and releases cold energy, which is transferred to external air conditioning or refrigeration equipment to realize efficient release of cold energy, thereby effectively shifting peak power demand, realizing "peak shifting and valley filling", balancing power supply, and improving power utilization.
