Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application relates to the technical field of energy storage devices, in particular to a novel energy accumulator. BACKGROUND
[0002] As a core component of industrial equipment power transmission, the pressure impact and energy management problems generated in the operation process of the hydraulic system directly affect the reliability and efficiency of the system. In high dynamic application scenarios such as engineering machinery and aerospace, frequent actions of the actuator and load mutation are easy to cause the pressure in the pipeline to fluctuate violently. This transient impact is essentially caused by the instantaneous conversion imbalance of fluid kinetic energy and potential energy. Especially in the working conditions such as rapid opening and closing of the valve, sudden stop of the oil cylinder or direction switching, the kinetic energy mutation caused by the fluid inertia will form a steep pressure wave peak. Such impact not only transmits along the pipeline in the form of high-frequency oscillation, causing periodic stress overload of key hydraulic components such as pumps, valve cores and seals, accelerating material fatigue damage, but also excites high-order modal vibration of the pipeline system, causing structural harmonic resonance. More seriously, the impact energy that is not effectively dissipated will be coupled to the equipment base through the pipe wall, forming a wideband mechanical noise and reducing the comfort of the operating environment. In the energy management dimension, the traditional system lacks an effective transient energy capture mechanism, resulting in a large amount of hydraulic energy escaping in the form of heat dissipation or mechanical vibration during the impact process, which not only aggravates the viscosity deterioration problem caused by oil temperature rise, but also causes a significant decrease in the overall energy efficiency of the system.
[0003] In existing hydraulic accumulators, both the capsule type and the piston type have inherent defects of key vulnerable components. The capsule type accumulator realizes oil-gas separation through an elastic capsule, but the capsule is prone to micro-cracks under alternating stress for a long time. Especially under high-pressure pulsation working conditions, fatigue damage is easy to occur in the repeated folding area of the capsule, leading to gas-liquid mixing and causing system cavitation. Although the piston type accumulator uses a metal piston structure, it relies on a dynamic sealing ring to maintain the oil-gas boundary. In the micron-level reciprocating motion under high-speed pressure impact, the sealing interface not only faces the risk of leakage caused by material wear, but also accelerates wear failure due to the embedding of oil pollution particles in the sealing pair. Both types of designs show significant degradation of reliability and service life in high-temperature, high-pressure and pollution-sensitive environments due to the physical contact characteristics of the core isolation components, forcing the system to be frequently shut down for maintenance, which seriously restricts the application feasibility of high-load continuous operation scenarios. SUMMARY
[0004] The device provides a novel energy accumulator, and the specific implementation manner is as follows:
[0005] A novel energy accumulator comprises:
[0006] A hydraulic chamber and an air pressure chamber, the air pipe is arranged in the hydraulic chamber, and the air inlet end of the air pipe is communicated with the air pressure chamber;
[0007] The air pipe is spirally arranged in the hydraulic chamber, and liquid outlets and liquid inlets are arranged on both sides of the hydraulic chamber.
[0008] The air pressure chamber is connected with a pressure gauge and a gas supplementing opening, and the other end of the air pipe is positioned in the interior of the hydraulic chamber through the clamping structure, and the air pipe is compressed to one side of the air pressure chamber during the liquid conveying process of the hydraulic chamber, and the dynamic deformation of the air pipe maintains the pressure balance of the hydraulic chamber.
[0009] Based on the above technical scheme, the spiral air pipe arranged in the air pressure chamber and the hydraulic chamber realizes the high-efficiency energy storage function, the design discards the capsule which is an easily damaged component, greatly reduces the loss of the equipment during operation, almost realizes zero-loss operation, effectively reduces the frequent maintenance and replacement cost caused by capsule damage, and compared with the piston type accumulator, the design reduces the use of the sealing ring, the sealing ring is a common easily damaged component in the piston type accumulator, and the reduction of the use not only simplifies the system structure, but also further improves the reliability and stability of the system.
[0010] Preferably, a vertical pipe is arranged on the hydraulic chamber, and the clamping structure is installed in the vertical pipe.
[0011] Preferably, the clamping part includes a fixed seat connected to the vertical pipe through a hinge shaft, and a clamping plate is hingedly arranged on both sides of the hinge shaft, and two pairs of vertical clamping plates are provided with linkage plates extending outward.
[0012] Based on the above technical scheme, the clamping structure can easily position the end of the spiral air pipe, the installer only needs to put one end of the air pipe into the corresponding position reserved by the clamping structure, and rotate the screwing part to fix the air pipe with appropriate clamping force, which greatly improves the installation efficiency, and compared with the previous clamping structure or other complex fixing methods, the design greatly shortens the installation time; stable positioning can ensure that the spiral air pipe always remains in place during equipment operation, avoiding faults caused by air pipe displacement, and effectively improving the reliability of the entire energy storage system.

[0014] Preferably, the sealing rubber block is arranged between the clamping plate and the vertical pipe, and a bending groove is arranged at the center of the sealing rubber block.
[0015] Based on the above technical scheme, in order to ensure that the sealing performance of the hydraulic chamber is not affected after the clamping structure is installed, the partition plate is specially arranged. The partition plate can effectively block the possible leakage channel between the outside and the hydraulic chamber, and provide protection for the sealing performance of the hydraulic chamber from the structural level. When the sealing rubber block is in action, the sealing rubber block will be elastically deformed under the pressure, tightly fit the gap between the internal parts of the clamping structure and the hydraulic chamber, so that the sealing rubber block can adjust its shape according to different gap shapes and sizes, and ensure that the sealing performance between the parts is always good.

The installer only needs to rotate the adjusting bolt according to the actual working condition requirement, and the spring can apply different degrees of force to the clamping structure to realize the regulation and control of the clamping force of the spiral air pipe. On the one hand, it can avoid the loosening of the air pipe due to insufficient clamping force, which affects the normal operation of the system. On the other hand, it can prevent the damage of the air pipe due to excessive clamping force, and prolong the service life of the air pipe.

[0019] Preferably, the air pipe is arranged as a double-layer spiral structure along the radial direction of the hydraulic chamber.
