[0059]
[0060] In an embodiment, the phase change material adopts a long-term seasonal energy storage shaped phase change material. For example, the long-term heat storage and controllable heat release phase change material disclosed in Chinese Patent Application CN202011354650, which uses sugar alcohol as the phase change material and high molecular polymer as the support carrier, synthesizes the composite phase change material by solvent method. This material has considerable prospects in long-term heat storage applications.
[0061] In a preferred embodiment, the distance between the controllable heat release phase change material and the upper cover 2 is 5-10 cm, calculated based on the filling amount of the phase change material in liquid state.
[0062] Example 1
[0063] In the initial state, the heat storage type warmer based on long-term heat storage and controllable heat release phase change material and its internal phase change material are at room temperature, the physical state of the phase change material is solid, and the sliding module 12 is at the top end, which is the original position of the sliding module.
[0064] Further, in order to obtain the long-term heat storage function, start the heat storage function of the heat storage type warmer, start the electric heater 3, heat the phase change material, and use the thermocouple 4 to control the temperature of the electric heater 3 to avoid decomposition of the phase change material inside the box due to excessive temperature.
[0065] Further, in order to obtain the long-term heat storage function, monitor the temperature of the thermocouple 5, and when the temperature approaches the melting point of the phase change material, start the motor 9 to drive the stirrer 7 to rotate, promoting the melting and homogenization of the phase change material.
[0066] Further, in order to obtain the long-term heat storage function, monitor the temperature of the thermocouple 6, and when its temperature is about 10-30℃ higher than the melting point of the phase change material, disconnect the electric heater and stop heating. At this time, the phase change material has completely melted into a liquid state. Wait for the phase change material inside the warmer to cool naturally to room temperature, at which time the physical state of the internal phase change material remains liquid, and the heat energy is stored in the liquid phase change material.
[0067] When the physical state of the phase change material inside the warmer is liquid and the temperature is room temperature, in order to obtain the controllable heat release heating function, start the sliding module to make the trigger penetrate the sealing septum and make the trigger contact the internal liquid phase change material. At this time, the phase change material starts to change from liquid to solid, and the temperatures of thermocouples 4, 5, and 6 rapidly increase.
[0068] Further, in order to obtain the controllable heat release function, monitor the temperature change of the thermocouple 4, and when its temperature is higher than 40℃, the phase change material in the radiator starts to change to solid state, and the sliding module is started to move to the designed original point. After that, the heat in the phase change material is gradually released to heat the indoor air through the heat dissipation fins on the surface of the box.
[0069] The above merely describes several embodiments of the present application, and does not limit the present application in any form. Although the present application is disclosed with the preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present application. Any skilled person in the art can make some changes or modifications to the disclosed technical contents without departing from the scope of the present application, and the equivalent embodiments are equivalent to the equivalent embodiments, which are within the scope of the technical solutions.
