[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a high-efficiency supercritical carbon dioxide power generation device, including a protective shell 1, a heat exchanger 3 installed inside the protective shell 1, a turbine 5 connected to one end of the heat exchanger 3, a maintenance mechanism 2 at the bottom of the turbine 5, and an exhaust mechanism 4 at the top of the protective shell 1. It utilizes -40℃, 5.2MPa high-pressure liquid carbon dioxide produced by low-temperature methanol washing as the working medium. This medium is pressurized to 10-30MPa and then reheated within the low-temperature methanol washing, transferring cooling energy to the low-temperature methanol washing. The 10-30MPa carbon dioxide then exits the low-temperature methanol washing. After alcohol washing, the temperature is heated to 200-300℃ by heat exchanger 3 with solar energy and / or low-grade heat from chemical plants. Then, it drives a supercritical carbon dioxide turbine 5 to generate electricity. The carbon dioxide pressure at the outlet of turbine 5 is atmospheric pressure and is discharged into the atmosphere. Compared with the existing Brayton cycle, this technology saves the compression stage and reduces the carbon dioxide pressure at the outlet of turbine 5, significantly improving the efficiency of the supercritical carbon dioxide compressor. Under the same operating conditions, the power output of this technology is 6.5 times that of the Brayton cycle. It can consume low-quality heat, and the heat consumption is reduced by about 40% compared with the Brayton cycle.

[0022] The maintenance mechanism 2 includes a fixed base 201 and a movable mounting base 202. The fixed base 201 is fixedly installed on the bottom inner side of the protective shell 1 and is detachably connected to the protective shell 1, allowing the fixed base 201 to be installed inside the protective shell 1 and to be disassembled. The top surface of the fixed base 201 has two guide grooves 203 and a drive groove 204. A drive screw 205 is rotatably connected inside the drive groove 204, and a drive motor 206 is fixedly connected to the end of the drive screw 205. A connecting seat 207 is threaded onto the drive screw 205. The drive groove 204 is located between the two guide grooves 203 and is slidably connected to the connecting seat 207. The top of the connecting seat 207 is fixedly connected to the movable mounting base 202, allowing the connecting seat 207 to drive the movable mounting base 202 to move. Two T-shaped guide seats 2 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable mounting base 202. 08. Two guide grooves 203 match the T-shaped guide seat 208. The movable mounting seat 202 is slidably connected to the fixed seat 201 through the T-shaped guide seat 208 and the guide grooves 203, so that the movement of the movable mounting seat 202 can be guided. Two support seats 209 are fixedly connected to the front end of the movable mounting seat 202. Support hydraulic cylinders 210 are fixedly connected to the top of the two support seats 209. Support plates 211 are fixedly connected to the output shaft end of the support hydraulic cylinders 210. The movable mounting seat 202 can be supported by the support hydraulic cylinders 210 and the support plates 211. The output shaft end of the support hydraulic cylinders 210 passes through the support seats 209 and extends to the bottom of the support seats 209. The output shaft end of the support hydraulic cylinders 210 is detachably connected to the support plates 211, so that the support hydraulic cylinders 210 can drive the support plates 211 to move up and down, and the support plates 211 can be replaced.

[0023] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4 The exhaust mechanism 4 includes multiple rotating plates 401. An exhaust window is provided at the bottom of the protective shell 1. The multiple rotating plates 401 are located inside the exhaust window. A rotating shaft 402 is fixedly connected to the end of each rotating plate 401, allowing the rotating plates 401 to rotate. A worm gear 403 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft 402. A worm 404 is provided on one side of each worm gear 403. An exhaust motor 405 is fixedly connected to the end of the worm 404. The worm 404 meshes with the multiple worm gears 403 and is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the exhaust window. The exhaust motor 405 can drive the worm 404 to rotate, which in turn drives the multiple worm gears 403 to rotate. The rotation of the worm gears 403 drives the rotating shaft 402 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating plates 401 to rotate, thus opening and closing the exhaust window. This allows carbon dioxide to be discharged during operation and the exhaust window to be closed when not in use to prevent dust from entering.

[0024] During operation, -40℃, 5.2MPa high-pressure liquid carbon dioxide produced by a low-temperature methanol wash is used as the working medium. This medium is pressurized to 10-30MPa and then reheated within the low-temperature methanol wash, transferring its cooling capacity to the wash. After leaving the low-temperature methanol wash, the 10-30MPa carbon dioxide is heated to 200-300℃ via heat exchanger 3, where it exchanges heat with solar energy and / or low-grade heat from the chemical plant. This heat then drives a supercritical carbon dioxide turbine 5 to generate electricity. The carbon dioxide outlet pressure of turbine 5 is atmospheric pressure, and it is discharged into the atmosphere. Compared to the existing Brayton cycle, this technology eliminates the compression stage, reduces the carbon dioxide outlet pressure of turbine 5, and significantly improves the efficiency of the supercritical carbon dioxide compressor. Under the same operating conditions, the working capacity of this technology is 6.5 times that of the Brayton cycle; it can consume low-quality heat, reducing heat consumption by approximately 40% compared to the Brayton cycle.

[0025] During maintenance, the drive motor 206 drives the drive screw 205 to rotate, which in turn moves the connecting seat 207. The movement of the connecting seat 207 then moves the movable mounting seat 202, which in turn moves the turbine 5, removing it from the protective shell 1. Then, the support hydraulic cylinder 210 moves the support plate 211 downwards, placing it on the ground to support the movable mounting seat 202. This facilitates maintenance and repair of the turbine 5, improving the ease of maintenance.

[0026] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.
