Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of generator technology, and specifically to an emergency power supply system. Background Technology

[0002] Generators are mechanical devices that convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. They work by converting energy generated by a power source into mechanical energy, which is then transmitted to a generator, and finally converted into electrical energy. The power source can be a water turbine (driven by water flow), a steam turbine (driven by airflow), a diesel engine (driven by fuel combustion), or other power machinery.

[0003] In home emergency power scenarios, generators use power-driven industrial frequency generators to directly supply power to household loads. Generators require batteries and starter motors, with the battery only involved in starting the generator, making its function relatively simple. Furthermore, traditional generators have a fixed speed, calculated as F = P * N / 60, where F represents the generator's frequency in Hertz (Hz), P represents the number of pole pairs, and N represents the generator's speed in revolutions per minute (rpm). When users select generators for electric loads, there is a possibility of momentary overload where the generator cannot handle the load. Additionally, the efficiency of generators varies under different loads, and generators need to run continuously while waiting, resulting in relatively low energy efficiency. Utility Model Content

The power components can drive the variable frequency motor to generate electricity, and the variable frequency motor can provide power to the inverter. Therefore, the speed of the variable frequency motor can be adjusted, thereby improving energy efficiency.

[0020] This embodiment provides an emergency power supply system.

[0021] refer to Figure 1 An emergency power supply system includes: a variable frequency motor 1, a start control module 2, an inverter 3, a starter motor 4, a power component 5, and an energy storage battery 6.

[0022] The output terminal of the variable frequency motor 1 is electrically connected to the input terminal of the inverter 3, and the rotor of the variable frequency motor 1 is driven by the power component 5. The starter control module 2 is communicatively connected to the inverter 3 and the starter motor 4, and electrically connected to the energy storage battery 6. The inverter 3 is also communicatively connected to the energy storage battery 6 and electrically connected to the power component 5. The output terminal of the inverter 3 can be connected to the load to provide power. The starter motor 4 is also electrically connected to the energy storage battery 6 and driven by the power component 5.

[0023] refer to Figure 1 The inverter 3 includes a rectifier and voltage regulator module 31, a DC-AC inverter module 32, and a DC-DC converter module 33. The input terminal of the rectifier and voltage regulator module 31 serves as the input terminal of the inverter 3 and is electrically connected to the output terminal of the variable frequency motor 1. The DC-AC inverter module 32 and the DC-DC converter module 33 are connected in parallel to the rectifier and voltage regulator module 31. The two output terminals of the DC-AC inverter module 32 and the DC-DC converter module 33 serve as the output terminals of the inverter 3, capable of connecting to the load and outputting AC and DC power respectively. The DC-DC converter module 33 is also electrically connected to the energy storage battery 6.

[0024] In the aforementioned emergency power system, inverter 3 can collect the speed signal of power component 5 and perform shutdown and speed control on power component 5. Power component 5 can drive variable frequency motor 1 to generate electricity, and variable frequency motor 1 can provide AC power to inverter 3 (rectifier and voltage regulator module 31). After rectification by rectifier and voltage regulator module 31, the AC power is converted into DC power. Since the speed of power component 5 can be controlled, the speed of variable frequency motor 1 can be adjusted, thereby improving energy efficiency.

[0025] When the emergency power system needs to be activated, the energy storage battery 6 supplies power to the starter motor 4, which in turn provides power to the power unit 5. Once the emergency power system is activated, the rectifier and voltage regulator module 31, in conjunction with the DC-AC inverter module 32, provides AC power, and the inverter 3 outputs voltages that meet the rated output requirements. The DC-DC converter module 33 outputs the DC power provided by the rectifier and voltage regulator module 31 to charge the energy storage battery 6. When the energy storage battery 6 discharges, it outputs DC power, which can be used to output AC and / or DC power through the DC-AC inverter module 32 and / or the DC-DC converter module 33. In this process, the energy storage battery 6 provides power to the power unit 5 to start the variable frequency motor 1; it also stores energy, eliminating the need for external charging; and it outputs power, thus solving the problem of limited functionality and preventing the generator from being unable to handle the load due to instantaneous overload.

[0026] Meanwhile, the inverter 3 can send start / stop signals to the start control module 2 for control. The start control module 2 can control the start motor 4 to rotate, and the start motor 4 drives the power component 5 to rotate. The energy storage battery 6 can also provide power to the start control module 2.

[0027] Inverter 3 is connected to mode selection module 7, and can also connect to photovoltaic power generation modules and / or wind power generation modules. The emergency power system can operate in four modes for home emergency power needs, selectable via mode selection module 7: energy-saving mode, hybrid mode, generator mode, and energy storage mode. Customers can choose the appropriate mode based on their specific application scenario.

[0028] Specifically, in energy-saving mode, the power supply is primarily provided by the energy storage battery 6 to the load, while simultaneously monitoring the battery's charge level and the load size. When the load power exceeds the set power or the energy storage battery 6's charge level reaches the set alarm value, the inverter 3 issues an alarm through its own alarm module. An alarm is triggered for excessive load, and the output is shut down.

[0029] When the energy storage battery 6 has a low charge, the inverter 3 sends a start control signal to the start control module 2, which then starts the variable frequency motor 1. At this time, the inverter 3 switches to using the variable frequency motor 1 to power the load, and uses the excess power to charge the energy storage battery 6. When the energy storage battery 6 reaches a set protection point, the inverter 3 sends a shutdown signal to the start control module 2 to shut down the power unit 5, or the inverter 3 directly shuts down the power unit 5, continuing the cycle of this energy-saving mode. This effectively improves the energy efficiency of the generator, thereby better utilizing energy and reducing the consumption of traditional fuels.

[0030] In hybrid mode, the inverter motor 1 is the primary motor by default. When a sudden drop in the speed of inverter motor 1 is detected, or when the rectifier and voltage regulator module 31 falls below a certain value, the inverter 3 controls the DC-DC control module to supplement the output of inverter motor 1 with the energy storage battery 6. In other words, the energy storage battery 6 and inverter motor 1 operate in parallel. This design can be used for some power tool loads. This application scenario avoids the problem of conventional generators failing to start power tools, achieving strong overload resistance.

[0031] In generator mode, the traditional generator function is retained, and conventional energy is used for power generation. Simultaneously, the unit employs rectifier-inverter technology, and its design avoids the fixed relationship between the traditional generator output frequency and power speed. This allows the variable frequency motor 1 to adjust its power speed according to different loads, enabling better energy utilization and reducing conventional fuel consumption.

[0032] In energy storage mode, the primary method is to discharge the energy storage battery 6. Simultaneously, external photovoltaic or wind power modules supply power to the DC-DC control module, and the inverter 3 can supply power to external systems. The external photovoltaic or wind power modules can also charge the energy storage battery 6.

[0033] The above description of the embodiments is only used to provide a detailed introduction to the technical solution of this utility model. However, the description of the above embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand this utility model and should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
