Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of potential energy device, especially a kind of elastic potential energy application system. BACKGROUND

[0002] There are many methods to store electric energy at present, such as storage battery, water storage reservoir, hydrogen energy storage, hot molten salt energy storage, flywheel energy storage, etc. However, in high-temperature hot weather or cold winter, the storage condition will be greatly affected by temperature, and defects such as heat impact or large electric energy loss in cold weather may occur.

[0003] There is also potential energy storage, such as elastic potential energy storage. However, the energy storage capacity of potential energy storage is not large enough, and after energy storage, the energy storage elastic member is fixed in the energy storage device. The potential energy storage and release are in the same device, the energy storage elastic member cannot be taken out alone for storage after energy storage, and it cannot be stored for a long time. Moreover, the energy storage elastic member has large loss after repeated use, and the potential energy storage effect is not ideal. For example, the Chinese patent with the patent name "elastic potential energy storage device" and the patent number "201220237151.5" discloses an elastic potential energy storage device, which includes an elastic member and a column. The elastic member is wound on the column. The column includes a first column and a second column which are rotatably installed on a support. One end of the elastic member is connected to the first column, and the other end is connected to the second column. One end of the first column is fixedly connected with a first gear, and one end of the second column is fixedly connected with a second gear. The first gear and the second gear are in transmission connection. The diameter of the first column is the same as that of the second column. The transmission ratio of the first gear to the second gear is greater than 1:1. The elastic member is a rubber belt. This elastic potential energy storage device uses a switch or a clutch to flexibly control the storage or release of elastic potential energy. The energy storage time is short, and the elastic potential energy storage and release are in the same device. The energy storage elastic member cannot be stored alone after energy storage, and the potential energy cannot be released alone conveniently.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need for an elastic potential energy storage and release system that can be used separately, the energy storage elastic member can be separated from the energy storage device, and the elastic potential energy can be stored for a long time and used at any time. The elastic potential energy application system solves the problems in the prior art. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0103] The working process of this elastic potential energy application system is as follows:

[0104] When storing energy:

[0105] The main controller 26 initiates the lifting of the movable support plate 18-1 until it is flush with the fixed support plate 18-2, and then activates the gripping device 29, which can be a robotic arm, to place the uncompressed first energy storage rod 3 into the energy storage bracket 11. The fixed support plate 18-1 and the movable support plate 18-2 simultaneously support the first energy storage rod 3. The main controller 26 then initiates the lifting of the rack and pinion support assembly 21-2, which supports the rack 21 to rise and engage with the first main gear 22-1-1. Photovoltaic, wind power, and power plant waste power drive the input pulley 22-3 to rotate. The input pulley 22-3 drives the first pulley 22-2 to rotate. The first pulley 22-2 drives the first main shaft 22-1-3 to rotate via the first speed increaser 22-1. The first main shaft 22-1-3 drives the first main gear 22-1-1 to rotate. The first main gear 22-1-1 drives the rack 21 to advance on the rack plate 21-2-2. The rack 21 pushes the front end cover 5 of the energy storage rod to compress the first energy storage rod 3. When it advances into the energy storage bracket 11, the movable support plate 18-1 that originally supported the first energy storage rod 3 rises below the rack 21 to support the rack 21. The main controller 26 controls the telescopic electric push rod on the second pulley bracket 21-1-4 to extend the pulley 21-1-2, which limits the rack through the limiting groove 21-1-1. After the main controller 26 detects that the first energy storage rod 3 has reached the energy storage position, it activates the pressure auxiliary device 30 to assist in pressing the front end cover 5 of the first energy storage rod 3. The pressure auxiliary device 30 can be a hydraulic jack. After pressing, the main controller 26 activates the gripping device 29 to place the traction rod 10-1 into the locking groove 7 of the first energy storage rod 3. The pressure auxiliary device 30 is then removed, and the gripping device 29 removes the first energy storage rod 3. The energy storage rod locking plate 10-2 is then used to lock the first energy storage rod 3 and place it in the designated area. At the same time, the rack and pinion support assembly 21-2 descends, the rack 21 descends, and the first auxiliary gear 22-1-2 descends from the slide groove to contact the first main gear 22-1-1. The rotating first main gear 22-1-1 drives the first auxiliary gear 22-1-2, which in turn drives the rack 21 to retract outside the energy storage bracket 11, restoring it to its pre-energy storage position.

[0106] When releasing energy:

[0107] The main controller 26 initiates the lifting of the movable support plate 18-2 until it is flush with the fixed support plate 18-1. Then, it activates the gripping device 29 to remove the energy storage rod locking plate 10-2 of the second energy storage rod 4 and place it into the energy release bracket 12. The fixed support plate 18-1 and the movable support plate 18-2 simultaneously support the second energy storage rod 4. The main controller 26 then initiates the descent of the rack support assembly 21-2. As the rack 21 descends, the second auxiliary gear 23-1-3 descends from its groove until it contacts the second main gear 23-1-2. The rotating second main gear 23-1-2 drives the second auxiliary gear 23-1-3, which pushes the rack 21 into the energy release bracket 12. At this time, the movable support plate 18-2 rises below the rack 21. The main controller 26 controls the telescopic electric push rod on the second pulley bracket 21-1-4 to extend the pulley, limiting the rack 21 through the limiting groove 21-1-1. After rack 21 reaches the front end cover 5 of the second energy storage rod 4, rack support assembly 21-2 rises and contacts the second main gear 23-1-2. Pressure auxiliary device 30 presses the front end cover 13 of the second energy storage rod 4, gripping device 29 removes traction rod 10-1, pressure auxiliary device 30 is removed, and energy release begins. As the second energy storage rod 4 advances and rack 21 retracts, movable support plate 18-2 supporting rack 21 descends, becoming flush with fixed support plate 18-1, supporting the advancing second energy storage rod 4. Rack drives second main gear 23-1-2 to rotate, second main gear 23-1-2 drives second pulley 23-2 to rotate via second speed increaser 23-1, second pulley 23-2 drives speed regulator 23-3, speed regulator 23-3 drives output pulley 23-4 to generate electricity, converting released energy into electrical energy.

[0108] In the energy release unit 2, the energy release bracket 12, the second energy storage rod 4, and the energy release rack mechanism 20 can be set into multiple groups as needed. Multiple second main gears 23-1-2 and second auxiliary gears 23-1-3 are correspondingly set on the second main shaft 23-1-4 on the energy release rack mechanism 20. Support seats are set below the second main shaft 23-1-4 and the second auxiliary gear shaft of the second auxiliary gear between the multiple second main gears 23-1-2 to support the second main shaft 23-1-4.
