Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of heating technology and relates to a heat storage heating device based on photovoltaic power generation. Background Technology
[0002] Solar energy, as one of the most widely used clean energy sources, can be converted into thermal energy, electrical energy, chemical energy, mechanical energy, or biological energy for utilization.

[0004] CN206386995U discloses a photovoltaic-thermal integrated solar heating device, which includes an insulated water tank for water storage. The insulated water tank is also connected to two heating pipes. One heating pipe is composed of several solar collectors, and the other heating pipe is composed of an electric boiler. It combines the two methods of direct solar heating and electric heating to provide heat to the outside continuously.
[0005] However, due to limitations such as geographical location and climate change, solar radiation is unstable, significantly impacting the conversion of solar energy and the normal operation of heating systems. This is particularly true in regions with harsh climates and long winters, where daily heating needs are difficult to meet. To ensure continuous energy supply, inter-seasonal solar energy storage is necessary to release and utilize energy when sunlight is insufficient. Traditional energy storage methods include mechanical, electrochemical, electromagnetic, and thermochemical storage. However, due to limitations in location, environment, and storage technology, existing methods suffer from complex structures, large footprints, low storage temperatures, high storage difficulty, high losses, poor stability, and high operating costs, and may even pollute the environment. Therefore, providing a heating system with a reasonable structure and high operational stability is of great significance. Utility Model Content

Therefore, a feature defined with "first," "second," etc., may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.
[0026] It should be noted that, in the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "connected," and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0027] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0028] In one specific embodiment, this utility model provides a photovoltaic power generation-based thermal storage heating device, including a photovoltaic power generation module 1, an energy storage module 2, and a heat-using terminal 3. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the energy storage module 2 includes a heat storage device 21 and a heat exchange device 22. The photovoltaic power generation module 1 is connected to the heat exchange device 22 and the heat storage device 21 through a main cable network and an auxiliary cable network, respectively. When there is sufficient sunlight, the photovoltaic power generation module 1 converts solar energy into electrical energy to supply heat to the heating terminal 3 and stores excess energy in the energy storage module 2. During nights with poor sunlight, cloudy days, rainy days, or extreme winter weather, the heat stored in the energy storage module 2 is used to continuously supply heat to the heating terminal 3, ensuring the stability of the heating operation. The heat exchange device 22 is circulated between the heat storage device 21 and the heating terminal 3 through a heat exchange pipe network and a heating pipe network, so that the heat energy in the heat storage device 21 is transferred to the heating terminal 3 through the heat exchange device 22. The heat storage device 21 is equipped with a high-temperature molten salt storage tank 211 and a low-temperature molten salt storage tank 212. The low-temperature molten salt storage tank 212 is connected to the high-temperature molten salt storage tank 211 through a conveying pipe 213. The low-temperature molten salt in the low-temperature molten salt storage tank 212 is heated to a high-temperature molten salt temperature, and then fed into the high-temperature molten salt storage tank 211 through the conveying pipe 213 for heat energy storage.
[0029] This invention uses molten salt as the heat storage material, which has the advantages of high heat capacity and a wide liquid phase operating temperature range. Commonly used molten salts or combinations thereof can be selected. The high-temperature molten salt in the high-temperature molten salt storage tank 211 transfers heat to the heat exchange device 22, causing the high-temperature molten salt to cool down and transform into low-temperature molten salt without solidifying. The low-temperature molten salt then flows back to the low-temperature molten salt storage tank 212 for further heating, and then enters the high-temperature molten salt storage tank 211 through the conveying pipe 213 to store heat energy, thus completing the cycle. The conveying pipe 213 of this invention is also equipped with necessary conventional valves and general-purpose pumps. Those skilled in the art can add their own layout based on the process flow and equipment structure selection; this invention does not impose special requirements or specific limitations in this regard.
[0030] The outer shells of the high-temperature molten salt storage tank 211 and the low-temperature molten salt storage tank 212 can be made of steel plates, and an external insulation layer 214 is independently provided on the outer wall to reduce heat loss. The material of the external insulation layer 214 can be needle-punched cotton or rock wool, which are well known to those skilled in the art.

The first temperature sensor 215, the second temperature sensor 217, the first pressure sensor 216, and the second pressure sensor 218 are all powered by the photovoltaic power generation module 1.
[0031] In some embodiments, the heat exchange device 22 includes a buffer container 221 filled with a heating medium and also equipped with a heating coil 222 to achieve heat exchange between the heating medium and the high-temperature molten salt, and to transfer the heat to the heat-using terminal 3 through the heating medium. Specifically, the heat exchange network includes a first heat exchange pipe 223 and a second heat exchange pipe 224. The two ends of the first heat exchange pipe 223 are respectively connected to the high-temperature molten salt storage tank 211 and the inlet of the heating coil 222, and the two ends of the second heat exchange pipe 224 are respectively connected to the low-temperature molten salt storage tank 212 and the outlet of the heating coil 222. During application, the high-temperature molten salt in the high-temperature molten salt storage tank 211 enters the heating coil 222 through the first heat exchange pipe 223 and exchanges heat with the heating medium in the buffer container 221, transferring heat to the heating medium and causing it to heat up. Meanwhile, the high-temperature molten salt transforms into low-temperature molten salt without solidifying. The low-temperature molten salt then enters the low-temperature molten salt storage tank 212 through the second heat exchange pipe 224 for heating, and subsequently flows into the high-temperature molten salt storage tank 211 for storage. The heating medium can be water or heat transfer oil, commonly used in the art.
[0032] Furthermore, a first solenoid valve 2231 and a second solenoid valve 2241 are respectively installed on the first heat exchange pipe 223 and the second heat exchange pipe 224 to adjust the flow rate of the molten salt. In addition, necessary conventional valves and general-purpose pumps are also installed on the first heat exchange pipe 223 and the second heat exchange pipe 224. Those skilled in the art can add their own layouts based on the process flow and equipment structure selection; this utility model does not impose any special requirements or specific limitations in this regard.
[0033] In addition, the buffer container 221 is also provided with necessary connecting pipes and switch control valves. This utility model does not make any special limitations on these. Those skilled in the art should reasonably adjust, add or delete them according to actual production needs. It should be noted that new technical solutions generated by deleting some unnecessary connecting pipes and switch control valves, or replacing single-function switch control valves with multi-function integrated control valves, or using external automatic control systems electrically connected to the switch control valves to control the opening of the corresponding valves, etc., which are common and well-known technical means by those skilled in the art, also fall within the scope of disclosure and protection of this utility model.
[0034] In some embodiments, the heating network includes a supply pipe 225 and a return pipe 226; the two ends of the supply pipe 225 are respectively connected to the outlet end of the buffer container 221 and the inlet end of the heat-using terminal 3, and a drive pump 2251 is installed on the supply pipe 225; the two ends of the return pipe 226 are respectively connected to the inlet end of the buffer container 221 and the outlet end of the heat-using terminal 3, and an electric regulating valve 2261 is installed on the return pipe 226 to realize the circulation of the heating medium between the buffer container 221 and the heat-using terminal 3, and transfer heat to the heat-using terminal 3 to meet the heating demand.

The solar cell array 10 receives solar radiation and converts it into electrical energy, which is then input to the inverter 12 via the DC controller 11. The inverter 12 supplies power to the heat storage device 21 and / or the heat exchange device 22. Excess electrical energy generated by the solar cell array 10 is stored in the energy storage assembly 13 to supply power to the heat storage device 21 and / or the heat exchange device 22 when the inverter 12 fails or loses power.
