[0022] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments:

[0023] The problem this invention aims to solve is to provide an adjustable heat core thermal storage module that is stable in operation and has flexibly adjustable heat exchange efficiency.

[0024] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, in order to ensure stable operation and flexible adjustment of heat exchange efficiency during use, this utility model relates to an adjustable heat core thermal storage module, including:

[0025] 1. Thermal core storage module; 2. Inner tank; 3. Heat pipe; 4. Heat exchange pipe; 5. Fixing bracket; 6. Waterproof sealing plug;

[0026] A heat insulation layer 7 is provided between the heat core storage module 1 and the inner liner 2; the fixing frame 5 is set inside the heat core storage module 1; the heat pipe 3 is fixed inside the heat core storage module 1 by the fixing frame 5; a heat insulation layer 8 is provided at the upper end of the heat core storage module 1; a heat exchange chamber 9 is provided at the upper end of the heat insulation layer 8; a heat exchange pipe 4 is set inside the heat exchange chamber 9; a heat exchange hole 10 is provided on the heat exchange pipe 4; a waterproof sealing plug 6 is set inside the heat exchange hole 10; a phase change material 11 is provided inside the heat core storage module 1.

[0027] The beneficial effects of this utility model are that by setting the heat pipes 3 to different lengths, the overall heat exchange efficiency of the phase change material 11 in the heat core heat storage module 1 can be kept stable, avoiding the problem of excessive local heat and saving the material of the heat pipes 3. Furthermore, by directly inserting the heat pipes 3 into the heat exchange pipe 4, the liquid in the heat exchange pipe 4 is heated and vaporized into steam for direct output. According to the heat exchange efficiency requirements, different numbers of heat pipes 3 can be inserted into the heat exchange pipe 4 to control the heat exchange efficiency, or the flow control valve 23 can be used to control the flow of liquid to control the heat exchange efficiency. The overall adjustability is high, the flexibility is high, and it is energy-saving and environmentally friendly.

[0028] Furthermore, both ends of the fixing frame 5 are connected and fixed to the inner liner 2; the fixing frame 5 is provided with fixing positioning holes 12; the fixing positioning holes 12 include fixing grooves 13 and positioning holes 14; the fixing positioning holes 12 are arranged in an array on the fixing frame 5. Both ends of the fixing frame 5 are fixed to the inner wall of the inner liner 2, while the fixing positioning holes 12 are used to fix the heat pipe 3 and ensure that the heat pipe 3 does not shake or cause other problems.

[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, furthermore, the diameter of the heat pipe 3 is equal to the diameter of the positioning hole 14; a fixing block 15 is provided on the heat pipe 3; the diameter of the fixing block 15 is equal to the diameter of the fixing groove 13. The connection and fixation between the fixing block 15 and the fixing groove 13 ensures that the heat pipe 3 will not experience any shaking or other problems.

[0030] In actual operation, the fixing block 15 on the heat pipe 3 is stably embedded in the fixing groove 13. The weight of the heat pipe itself can stably place it into the fixing groove 13 and thus connect and fix it to the fixing frame 5, ensuring that there will be no shaking during operation and transportation.

[0031] Furthermore, the insulation layer 8 is provided with through holes 16; the diameter of the through holes 16 is equal to the diameter of the heat pipe 3. The design of the through holes 16 ensures that the upper end of the heat pipe 3 can stably extend from the heat storage module 1 into the heat exchange pipe 4 for heat exchange.

[0032] Furthermore, the lower end of the heat pipe 3 is disposed within the phase change material 11; the upper end of the heat pipe 3 is connected to the heat exchange hole 10; and a sealing waterproof ring 17 is provided inside the heat exchange hole 10. The design of the sealing waterproof ring 17 ensures a seamless connection between the heat pipe 3 and the heat exchange pipe 4, preventing leaks and other problems.

[0033] Furthermore, the waterproof sealing plug 6 includes a waterproof plug 18 and an insulating plug 19; the insulating plug 19 is located behind the waterproof plug 18; the diameter of the insulating plug 19 is larger than the diameter of the waterproof plug 18; and a T-shaped handle 20 is provided at the rear end of the insulating plug 19. The design of the waterproof sealing plug 6 ensures that no leakage or other problems will occur when the heat exchange hole 10 is not in use.

[0034] Furthermore, the heat exchange chamber 9 is provided with a heat exchange inlet 21 and a heat exchange outlet 22; the heat exchange inlet 21 is connected to the front end of the heat exchange pipe 4; the heat exchange outlet 22 is connected to the rear end of the heat exchange pipe 4; and a flow control valve 23 is provided at the front end of the heat exchange pipe 4. The heat exchange efficiency and heat exchange output rate can be controlled by controlling the flow rate of the liquid through the flow control valve 23.

[0035] Furthermore, the heat pipe 3 includes a long heat pipe 24 and a short heat pipe 25; the long heat pipe 24 and the short heat pipe 25 are arranged at intervals. By using heat pipes 3 of different lengths, the overall heat exchange of the phase change material 11 in the heat core storage module 1 can be ensured to be stable, and problems such as local temperature differences will not occur.

[0036] In practice, most heat pipes 3 in existing thermal core energy storage modules 1 are of the same length. However, heat pipes 3 of the same length increase the cost of heat pipes 3, and heat exchange in the same area simultaneously can lead to uneven heat exchange and low efficiency. By using heat pipes 3 of different lengths, it is possible to achieve simultaneous heat exchange in all areas of the phase change material 11, and also to ensure that the phase change material 11 in a single area can quickly and stably supply heat energy to the heat pipe 3, thereby improving heat exchange efficiency and preventing dispersed heat exchange.

[0037] Furthermore, the lower end of the heat core storage module 1 is provided with an electric heating tube 26; the heat pipe 3 is provided with a circulating heat exchange medium 27. The phase change material 11 is heated and stored through the electric heating tube 26, and the heat energy is transferred and used through the circulating heat exchange medium 27. The circulating heat exchange medium 27 is heated by the phase change material 11 at the bottom, and after being heated and vaporized, it rises to the top of the heat pipe 3. Then, the top of the heat pipe 3 exchanges heat with the water flow in the heat exchange pipe 4, so that the water flow is heated and vaporized into water vapor and output to the working area. After the circulating heat exchange medium 27 finishes exchanging heat at the top of the heat pipe 3, it liquefies and falls back to the bottom of the heat pipe 3 to repeat the heat exchange operation.

[0038] In actual operation, the electric heating rod 26 heats and stores energy in the phase change material 11. When heat release is required, the waterproof sealing plug 6 on the heat exchange pipe 4 is removed. First, the upper end of the heat pipe 3 is inserted into the heat exchange pipe 4 through the heat exchange hole 10. Then, according to external needs, the flow rate of water entering the heat exchange pipe 4 is controlled by the flow control valve 23. After entering the heat exchange pipe 4, the water comes into contact with the upper end of the heat pipe 3, is heated and vaporized into steam, and then output through the end of the heat exchange pipe 4, thereby meeting the working requirements. Before energy storage, the efficiency of heat exchange can also be controlled by controlling the number of heat pipes 3 inserted. When the heat exchange hole 10 on the heat exchange pipe 4 is not in use, it is blocked by the waterproof sealing plug 6, which can effectively prevent leakage and other problems.

[0039] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
