[0003] Under current technological conditions, artificial chamber energy storage is one of the mainstream energy storage methods for compressed air. Existing artificial chambers typically use steel plates as the sealing material for their internal sealing layers, which suffers from high costs, difficult welding operations, poor structural stability, susceptibility to corrosion, and poor sealing performance.

[0020] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0021] See Figures 1-4This utility model provides a composite sealed energy storage chamber, including a concrete lining layer 21, which is located in the surrounding rock layer 1 underground or in a mountain. A cavity is formed within the concrete lining layer 21. This cavity is a sealed cavity and serves as the main structure of the gas storage space. The cross-section of the sealed cavity is circular, and it can be spherical or cylindrical. The outer layer of the concrete lining layer 21 is tightly bonded to the surrounding rock layer 1 to ensure the stability of the overall structure.
[0022] A sealing layer is provided on the inner wall of the sealed cavity. This sealing layer covers the inner surface of the concrete lining layer 21, forming multiple layers of protection to ensure that the gas does not leak. The sealing layer is mainly composed of sealing sheets 23, which are made of composite materials. There are multiple sealing sheets 23, which are attached to the inner wall of the concrete lining layer 21 (cavity). There is a gap between the edges of two adjacent sealing sheets 23, which forms a gap 230. The width of the gap 230 is 1cm-3cm, and in this embodiment it is 2cm. The gap 230 is filled with sealing material, which forms a fixing line 24. The fixing line 24 and the sealing sheet 23 form an integral sealing structure, namely the sealing layer. A gas storage space 20 is formed in the sealing layer for storing gas. It can withstand high pressure and store high-pressure gas to achieve energy storage.
[0023] In this application, the sealing sheet 23 is a sheet-like prefabricated plate structure made of multi-layer fiber composite material, specifically, it is made of fiber and resin. The fiber serves as a reinforcing material, providing a high-strength skeleton structure for the sealing sheet and ensuring its excellent compressive strength. The resin serves as a base material, used to tightly wrap the fiber to form a plate-like structure, enhancing the overall flexibility and ensuring sealing performance. The aforementioned fiber can be glass fiber, basalt fiber, or other high-performance fibers, all of which can be used as reinforcing materials. The resin is epoxy resin.
[0024] The gap 230 is filled with sealing material to form a fixing line 24. The fixing line 24 is made of fiber and resin, specifically a mixture of short fiber and epoxy resin. The short fiber can be glass fiber, basalt fiber, or other high-performance fiber as a reinforcing material. After solidification, it forms an integral sealing structure with the sealing sheet 23. The construction is simple and the cost is low.
[0025] To further improve structural reliability and sealing performance, a sealing strip 25 is attached to the gap 230 in this application. The sealing strip 25 is strip-shaped and is also made of composite material. In this embodiment, the sealing strip 25 is made of multi-layer fiber composite material, that is, made of fiber and resin. Specifically, the fiber can be glass fiber, basalt fiber, or other high-performance fibers as reinforcing materials, and the resin is epoxy resin. The sealing strip 25 is arranged along the length of the gap, covering the surface of the gap, and the two sides of the sealing strip are bonded and fixed to the sealing pieces 23 on both sides of the gap, which improves the overall structural stability and sealing performance.
[0026] A sliding layer 22 is provided between the outer wall of the sealing layer and the inner wall of the chamber. This sliding layer is made of asphalt or polyurea, which enables the sealing layer to adapt to the local deformation of the concrete lining layer under high pressure, thereby ensuring the stability and sealing performance of the sealing structure.
[0027] For ease of construction, the sealing sheet 23 can be a rectangular precast panel structure, which is attached to the inner wall of the cavity in a matrix form. Therefore, the gap 230 includes staggered first gaps and second gaps, and sealing strips are fixed on both the first gap and the second gap.
[0028] In this application, the sealing sheet 23 adopts a sheet-like prefabricated plate structure, which is a multi-layer fiber composite material. This not only solves the problem of easy corrosion of traditional metal materials but also significantly improves structural strength, optimizing the performance of the sealing layer. The fibers, as reinforcing materials, provide a high-strength skeleton structure for the sealing layer, ensuring excellent compressive strength. Epoxy resin, as the matrix material, acts as an adhesive, tightly wrapping the fibers, enhancing flexibility, and ensuring the integrity of the sealing layer. This combination exhibits high structural stability and long-lasting fatigue resistance under high-pressure environments, effectively guaranteeing the long-term stable operation of the energy storage system. In terms of raw material selection, various high-performance fibers such as glass fiber and basalt fiber can be used as reinforcing materials.
[0029] The multi-layer composite sealing layer is in the form of precast sheet panels. During construction, asphalt or polyurea is used as a sliding layer, applied to the surface of the precast panels. The precast panels are then attached to the corresponding lining, leaving certain gaps between them. Simultaneously, a mixture of short fibers and epoxy resin is filled into the gaps between the precast panels to form fixing lines, thus securing adjacent precast panels to the lining layer. This creates a grid-like multi-layer composite sealing structure that combines overall fixation with localized sliding. (See reference...) Figure 3 Simultaneously, epoxy resin is used to bond multi-layer composite material strips to the fixed lines and the surface of the precast panels, strengthening the connection between adjacent precast panels. (See [reference needed]). Figure 4 When the artificial chamber deforms under high pressure, the sealing layer can adapt to the elastic deformation, thereby ensuring the stability and sealing performance of the sealing layer.
[0030] This utility model of a composite sealed energy storage chamber uses composite materials as the sealing layer, which greatly reduces construction difficulty and manufacturing costs, avoids corrosion problems, and has a long service life. The combination of fiber and resin ensures good structural stability and high sealing performance, guaranteeing long-term stable operation under high pressure. The precast panel structure significantly reduces construction difficulty, lowers material and construction costs, and increases construction efficiency. Fixed lines are used to fix adjacent precast panels to the concrete lining layer, forming a grid-like multi-layer composite material sealing structure that combines overall fixation with local sliding. Epoxy resin is used to adhere multi-layer composite material strips to the fixed lines and the surface of the precast panels, strengthening the connection between adjacent precast panels. When the artificial chamber deforms under high pressure, the sealing layer can adapt to elastic deformation, thus ensuring the stability and sealing performance of the sealing layer. This utility model of a composite sealed energy storage chamber has high structural strength, a certain elastic deformation capacity, good sealing performance, high safety, low manufacturing cost, long service life, and wide applicability.
[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
