Description

Heat storage device and heating and ventilation system

[0001] The present application claims priority to the Chinese patent application No. 2024224179845, filed on September 30, 2024, entitled "Heat storage device and heating and ventilation system", and the Chinese patent application No. 2024113939596, filed on September 30, 2024, entitled "Heat storage device and heating and ventilation system", the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The present application relates to the technical field of heat exchange equipment, in particular to a heat storage device and a heating and ventilation system. BACKGROUND

[0003] At present, the water temperature in the independent hot water tank is generally maintained between 0 and 100℃. In this range, the water will not undergo a phase change from solid to liquid or from gas to liquid. The water temperature in this temperature range shows a linear characteristic. During the heating or cooling process of the hot water tank, the water in the hot water tank will cause natural convection due to the temperature difference, which helps to achieve uniform water temperature in the tank. Therefore, by pasting a temperature sensor on the inner wall of the hot water tank or using a single-point temperature sensing blind tube, the water temperature can be accurately measured, and the installation and positioning of the sensor are not high.

[0004] However, the phase change material used in the heat storage device will change between solid and liquid or liquid and gas, resulting in a large temperature difference between different positions of the phase change material in the tank. If the installation position of the temperature sensor is not stable or appropriate, it is difficult to accurately monitor the temperature change of the phase change material at different positions, which will seriously affect the temperature collection accuracy and the accuracy of the logic control of the entire device.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0095] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments.

[0097] In some embodiments, the shape of the shell 60 is a cubic structure, and the inside of the shell 60 is formed with a containing cavity 6021, the heat exchange module 20 and the phase change material 50 are both arranged in the containing cavity 6021, the heat exchange module 20 is embedded in the phase change material 50, it is necessary to explain that the heat exchange module 20 includes a plurality of sub-heat exchangers 201, there is a gap between two adjacent sub-heat exchangers 201, and the phase change material 50 can be filled in the gap, so that the heat exchange module 20 can be in full contact with the phase change material 50, so that the heat exchange module 20 can be in thermal conduction with the phase change material 50, that is, so that the heat exchange module 20 can exchange heat with the phase change material 50.

[0098] The temperature sensing assembly 10 can be inserted into the phase change material 50 to a preset depth, so that the temperature sensing assembly 10 can detect the temperature of the phase change material 50 at the preset depth, therefore, by inserting the temperature sensing assembly 10 into the phase change material 50 to the preset depth, the temperature change of the phase change material 50 in the specified area inside the heat storage device 100 can be accurately monitored.

[0099] Please refer to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, in some embodiments, the temperature sensing assembly 10 can include a support plate 1, a blind pipe 2 and a temperature sensing probe 3.

[0100] In some embodiments, the support plate 1 is a square plate, the support plate 1 can be fixed to the heat exchange module 20 by threaded connection or welding, and the support plate 1 has an assembly hole 11 (see FIG. 7).

[0101] The blind pipe 2 is a hollow pipe, one end of the blind pipe 2 is an open end, the other end of the blind pipe 2 is a closed end, the blind pipe 2 can be inserted into the assembly hole 11, so that the closed end of the blind pipe 2 extends into the heat exchange module 20, and the open end of the blind pipe 2 can be connected with the support plate 1, so that the blind pipe 2 can be accurately installed at a specified position in the heat exchange module 20 through the support plate 1.

[0102] In combination with FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the inner wall surface of the blind pipe 2 can also be provided with a positioning structure 21, the temperature sensing probe 3 can include a temperature sensing probe head 31, the temperature sensing probe head 31 can be arranged inside the blind pipe 2, and the temperature sensing probe head 31 can cooperate with the positioning structure 21 to limit the depth of the temperature sensing probe head 31 extending into the blind pipe 2, or to limit the depth of the temperature sensing probe head 31 extending into the heat exchange module 20, so that the temperature sensing probe head 31 can be stably installed at a specified position in the heat exchange module 20, thereby the temperature change of the phase change material in the specified area of the heat exchange module 20 can be accurately monitored.

[0103] Referring to FIG. 6, in some embodiments, the positioning structure 21 can include positioning protrusions 211 arranged on the inner wall surface of the blind pipe 2, and the temperature sensing probe 31 can be clamped or abutted with the positioning protrusions 211.

[0104] In some embodiments, the inner wall surface of the blind pipe 2 can protrude to one side of the axis of the blind pipe 2 to form the positioning protrusions 211. When installing the temperature sensing detector 3, the temperature sensing probe 31 is inserted into the pipe body of the blind pipe 2 from the pipe opening of the blind pipe 2. As the temperature sensing probe 31 gradually extends, the temperature sensing probe 31 can be clamped or abutted with the positioning protrusions 211. The positioning protrusions 211 can prevent the temperature sensing probe 31 from continuing to extend into the blind pipe 2, thereby fixing the temperature sensing probe 31 at a specified position in the blind pipe 2. Since the blind pipe 2 is fixedly installed on the heat exchange module 20, the temperature sensing probe 31 can be fixed at a specified position of the heat exchange module 20, so that the temperature sensing probe 31 can be configured to detect the temperature of the phase change material in the specified area. By arranging the positioning protrusions 211 on the inner wall surface of the blind pipe 2, the temperature sensing probe 31 can be conveniently positioned at the specified position.

[0105] In some embodiments, the positioning protrusions 211 are arranged in a circle along the circumference of the blind pipe 2, so that a circular ring-shaped protrusion is formed on the inner wall surface of the blind pipe 2. When the temperature sensing probe 31 is arranged in the blind pipe 2, the lower end of the temperature sensing probe 31 can be inserted into the circular ring-shaped protrusion and abutted with the circular ring-shaped protrusion, thereby positioning the temperature sensing probe 31 at the position where the positioning protrusions 211 are arranged.

[0106] In some embodiments, the inner wall surface of the blind pipe 2 can be provided with a plurality of positioning protrusions 211. The plurality of positioning protrusions 211 can be sequentially and spacedly arranged along the circumference of the blind pipe 2. Adjacent two positioning protrusions 211 can form a clamping groove. When the temperature sensing probe 31 is arranged in the blind pipe 2, the temperature sensing probe 31 can be clamped with the clamping groove, thereby positioning the temperature sensing probe 31 at the position where the positioning protrusions 211 are arranged.

[0107] Referring to FIGS. 5 to 7, in some embodiments, the temperature sensing detector 3 can further include a sensor wire body 32. The sensor wire body 32 is partially inserted into the blind pipe 2 and connected with the temperature sensing probe 31. The outer wall surface of the sensor wire body 32 is provided with a position indicating part 321. When the temperature sensing probe 31 cooperates with the positioning structure 21, the position indicating part 321 is located at the pipe opening of the blind pipe 2.

[0108] Specifically, the sensor wire body 32 usually includes a wire and can be connected with the temperature sensing probe 31 and configured to transmit the temperature signal detected by the temperature sensing probe 31. The sensor wire body 32 is partially inserted into the blind pipe 2. At this time, the blind pipe 2 can also play a role in regularizing the sensor wire body 32, preventing the sensor wire body 32 from swinging.

[0109] In some embodiments, the outer wall surface of the sensor line body 32 can be provided with a position indication part 321, which can be arranged to extend along the length direction of the sensor line body 32, and the length of the sensor line body 32 between the position indication part 321 and the temperature sensing probe 31 can be adjusted flexibly according to the distance between the pipe opening of the blind pipe 2 and the positioning structure 21, so that when the temperature sensing detector 3 is installed, the installation state of the temperature sensing probe 31 can be judged by observing the position of the position indication part 321.

[0110] Specifically, when the temperature sensing detector 3 is installed, the temperature sensing probe 31 can be inserted into the blind pipe 2 first, and then the sensor line body 32 is gradually inserted into the blind pipe 2 to drive the temperature sensing probe 31 to further extend into the blind pipe 2 until the sensor line body 32 cannot continue to extend into the blind pipe 2, at which time whether the temperature sensing probe 31 is installed in place can be judged according to the positional relationship between the position indication part 321 and the blind pipe 2.

[0111] More specifically, if the position indication part 321 is located at the pipe opening of the blind pipe 2 at this time, it indicates that the temperature sensing probe 31 has successfully cooperated with the positioning structure 21, and the temperature sensing probe 31 has been installed in place; if there is still a distance between the position indication part 321 and the pipe opening of the blind pipe 2 at this time, it indicates that the temperature sensing probe 31 may be stuck somewhere in the blind pipe 2, but has not extended into the positioning structure 21, and the temperature sensing probe 31 has not been installed in place; if the position indication part 321 has extended into the inside of the blind pipe 2 at this time, it indicates that the positioning structure 21 may have been damaged and cannot limit the temperature sensing probe 31, and the temperature sensing probe 31 has not been installed in place.

[0112] Therefore, by observing the positional relationship between the position indication part 321 and the pipe opening of the blind pipe 2, it can be quickly and accurately judged whether the temperature sensing probe 31 is installed in place.

[0113] In some embodiments, the position indication part 321 is a mark or feature, for example, the position indication part 321 can be a color mark, a protrusion, a groove or other forms of marks.

[0114] Please refer to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, in some embodiments, the temperature sensing detector 3 can further include a joint piece 33, which is arranged at the pipe opening of the blind pipe 2, the sensor line body 32 is arranged through the joint piece 33 and inserted into the blind pipe 2, and the joint piece 33 is configured to lock or loosen the sensor line body 32.

[0115] In some embodiments, the joint member 33 is installed at the pipe opening of the blind pipe 2. When the temperature sensor 3 is installed, the sensor wire 32 passes through the joint member 33 and is inserted into the blind pipe 2 until the temperature sensor head 31 is engaged with the positioning structure 21. At this time, the joint member 33 can be locked, and the sensor wire 32 is fixed when the joint member 33 is locked, preventing the sensor wire 32 from loosening or moving in the blind pipe 2, so that the temperature sensor head 31 can be stably fixed in the blind pipe 2 and accurately monitor the temperature change of the phase change material. When the temperature sensor head 31 needs to be maintained or replaced, the joint member 33 is simply loosened, and the sensor wire 32 can be easily pulled out of the blind pipe 2 without complex disassembly operations.

[0116] Referring to FIG. 7, in some embodiments, the joint member 33 can include a base 331 connected to the pipe opening of the blind pipe 2 and a fastening head 332 threadedly engaged with the base 331. The sensor wire 32 can pass through the fastening head 332 and the base 331 in sequence, and the sensor wire 32 can be easily locked or loosened by rotating the fastening head 332 relative to the base 331 to lock or loosen the sensor wire 32.

[0117] Specifically, the base 331 can have a size and shape matched with the blind pipe 2, so that the two can be stably connected together, and the base 331 can also be connected with the support plate 1, so that the blind pipe 2, the base 331 and the support plate 1 can be connected together. The base 331 can be provided with a first through hole 3310, which can be in communication with the blind pipe 2.

[0118] The fastening head 332 is provided with a second through hole 3320 coaxially arranged with the first through hole 3310 and connected with the first through hole 3310, so that the sensor wire 32 can pass through the second through hole 3320 and the first through hole 3310 in sequence and be inserted into the blind pipe 2.

[0119] Rotating the fastening head 332 relative to the base 331 can cause the fastening head 332 and the base 331 to produce a threaded feeding or withdrawing action, and the fastening head 332 can lock or loosen the sensor wire 32. More specifically, when the fastening head 332 is tightened, the fastening head 332 approaches the base 331, and the fastening head 332 and the base 331 generate sufficient friction after being engaged, thereby firmly locking the sensor wire 32 in the blind pipe 2. Conversely, when the sensor wire 32 needs to be loosened, the fastening head 332 can be rotated in the opposite direction.

[0120] In some embodiments, the temperature sensing assembly 10 can further comprise a heat conducting oil, which is a special lubricating oil used at high temperatures. The heat conducting oil can be disposed inside the blind tube 2 and can immerse the temperature sensing probe 31. By filling the blind tube 2 with the heat conducting oil, the air gap between the temperature sensing probe 31 and the phase change material can be eliminated, thereby improving the heat transfer effect between the temperature sensing probe 31 and the phase change material, accelerating the response speed of the temperature sensing probe 31 to temperature changes, and improving the accuracy of the measurement.

[0121] In combination with FIG. 7, in some embodiments, the temperature sensing assembly 10 can further comprise a sealing member 4, which can be disposed between the sensor wire 32 and the blind tube 2 to seal the gap between the sensor wire 32 and the blind tube 2.

[0122] Specifically, the sealing member 4 is a component configured to fill or seal the gap between two objects, usually made of rubber, plastic or other elastic materials. The sealing member 4 can increase the air tightness of the blind tube 2 at the pipe opening, prevent the heat conducting oil inside the blind tube 2 from evaporating into the external environment through the pipe opening, improve the stability of the heat conducting oil inside the blind tube 2, thereby increasing the measurement accuracy of the temperature sensing probe 31, and also prevent external air, moisture or other impurities from entering the inside of the blind tube 2, thereby protecting the temperature sensing probe 31 from damage.

[0123] Referring to FIGS. 8 and 9, in some embodiments, the heat storage device 100 can comprise at least two temperature sensing assemblies 10. Taking the heat storage device 100 comprising two temperature sensing assemblies 10 as an example, one temperature sensing assembly 10 can be inserted into the phase change material 50 at a first preset depth to detect the temperature of the phase change material 50 at the first preset depth, and the other temperature sensing assembly 10 can be inserted into the phase change material 50 at a second preset depth to detect the temperature of the phase change material 50 at the second preset depth.

[0124] In some embodiments, the first preset depth can be close to the top of the phase change material 50, configured to monitor the temperature changes near the heat source area, and the second preset depth can be different from the first preset depth and can be located at the middle or deeper position of the phase change material 50. Through such an arrangement, the temperature conditions of a wider area inside the phase change material 50, especially in the area where the temperature gradient can be large during heat conduction, can be monitored. Therefore, by arranging the temperature sensing assemblies 10 at different depths, temperature data at multiple levels inside the phase change material 50 can be obtained, thereby improving the monitoring accuracy of the temperature changes during the entire heat storage process.

[0125] Referring to FIG. 10, in some embodiments, the heat exchange module 20 can include a plurality of sub-heat exchangers 201, which can be arranged in parallel and spaced apart in sequence along a first direction, and the X-axis direction in FIG. 10 is the first direction. Such an arrangement helps to optimize heat exchange efficiency, facilitates installation and maintenance, and has a gap between adjacent two sub-heat exchangers 201. The phase change material 50 can be filled in the gap between the adjacent two sub-heat exchangers 201, and the temperature sensing assembly 10 can be inserted into the phase change material 50 between the adjacent two sub-heat exchangers 201 to detect the temperature of the phase change material 50 between the adjacent two sub-heat exchangers 201. At the same time, due to the change of the phase of the phase change material 50 during the heat storage and release process, such as the change from liquid to solid or from solid to liquid, the expansion and contraction of the phase change material 50 caused by the phase change of the phase change material 50 will cause the temperature sensing probe 31 of the temperature sensing assembly 10 to deviate from its original position. Therefore, by inserting the temperature sensing assembly 10 into the gap between the adjacent two sub-heat exchangers 201, the influence of the phase change of the phase change material 50 on the detection position accuracy of the temperature sensing assembly 10 can be alleviated, and the reliability of temperature detection is improved.

[0126] In some embodiments, the sub-heat exchanger 201 is usually a tube-fin heat exchanger, which improves the heat transfer capacity by adding heat transfer fins on the heat exchange tube.

[0127] Referring to FIGS. 10 and 11, in some embodiments, the heat storage device 100 can further include a sensor mounting plate 40, which can be fixedly arranged on the top of the sub-heat exchanger 201, and a plurality of temperature sensing assemblies 10 can be arranged on the sensor mounting plate 40.

[0128] In some embodiments, the sensor mounting plate 40 is provided with a plurality of accommodating holes 401, which are arranged in sequence and spaced apart along a second direction, and the Y-axis direction in FIG. 10 is the second direction. The second direction is arranged intersecting the first direction, and each accommodating hole 401 is arranged corresponding to the gap between the adjacent two sub-heat exchangers 201. When the temperature sensing assembly 10 is inserted into the accommodating hole 401, the temperature sensing assembly 10 can extend into the gap between the adjacent two sub-heat exchangers 201, so that the temperature sensing assembly 10 can measure the temperature of the phase change material 50 between the adjacent two sub-heat exchangers 201. Therefore, by arranging the sensor mounting plate 40, the plurality of temperature sensing assemblies 10 can be conveniently installed at the specified positions, so that the plurality of temperature sensing assemblies 10 can accurately monitor the temperature change of the phase change material 50 at each position.

[0129] Referring to FIG. 12, in some embodiments, the heat storage device 100 can further include a pipeline structure 30, which can be connected to each sub-heat exchanger 201 to transport fluid to each sub-heat exchanger 201, so as to realize heat exchange and transfer.

[0130] The pipeline structure 30 comprises a manifold 301 and a delivery pipe 302, a plurality of manifolds 301 can be arranged at the top of the sub-heat exchanger 201, and the manifold 301 is a multi-conduit structure, the manifold 301 has a plurality of ports, one end of the delivery pipe 302 communicates with the sub-heat exchanger 201, and the other end of the delivery pipe 302 communicates with the manifold 301, so that the manifold 301 can collect fluid from each sub-heat exchanger 201, and the fluid is delivered to each sub-heat exchanger 201 through the delivery pipe 302 to realize heat exchange.

[0131] In some embodiments, the pipeline structure 30 comprises four manifolds 301, each of which has a charging inlet 3011, a charging outlet 3012, a discharging inlet 3013, and a discharging outlet 3014, and the sub-heat exchanger 201 has a charging flow path 202 and a discharging flow path 203, the charging inlet 3011, the charging flow path 202, and the charging outlet 3022 are sequentially communicated, and the discharging inlet 3013, the discharging flow path 203, and the discharging outlet 3014 are sequentially communicated.

[0132] Specifically, the delivery pipe 302 comprises an input pipe and an output pipe, each sub-heat exchanger 201 is connected to the corresponding manifold 301 through a set of input pipes and output pipes to form the charging flow path 202 and the discharging flow path 203, and the main function of the input pipe and the output pipe is to deliver fluid from the manifold 301 to the sub-heat exchanger 201, and deliver the fluid after heat exchange from the sub-heat exchanger 201 to the manifold 301.

[0133] More specifically, each sub-heat exchanger 201 is connected to the corresponding manifold 301 through one or more input pipes, and the input pipe is responsible for delivering fluid from the manifold 301 to each sub-heat exchanger 201, so that the fluid can be evenly distributed to each sub-heat exchanger 201. Similarly, each sub-heat exchanger 201 is connected to the corresponding manifold 301 through one or more output pipes, and the output pipe is responsible for delivering the fluid after heat exchange from the sub-heat exchanger 201 to the manifold 301, so as to collect and deliver the fluid back to the manifold 301 for further processing or recycling.

[0134] In combination with FIG. 2, the manifold 301 comprises a main pipe 304, a collecting pipe 305, a joint pipe 306, and a joint pipe nut 307, the main pipe 304 communicates with one end of the collecting pipe 305, one end of the joint pipe 306 communicates with the other end of the collecting pipe 305, the other end of the joint pipe 306 is connected with the joint pipe nut 307, and the radial dimension of the end of the joint pipe 306 communicating with the collecting pipe 305 is smaller than the radial dimension of the end of the joint pipe 306 connected with the joint pipe nut 307.

[0135] It should be noted that, since the radial dimension of the connecting nut 307 is relatively large, if the connecting nut 307 is directly connected with one end of the collecting pipe 305, the radial dimension of the collecting pipe 305 will also be relatively large, but the radial dimension of the part where the collecting pipe 305 communicates with the main pipe 304 should not be too large. Therefore, the joint pipe 306 with different radial dimensions at two ends is arranged to connect the collecting pipe 305 and the connecting nut 307, so that the connecting nut 307 can be connected, and the size of the collecting pipe 305 is smaller than that of the connecting nut 307.

[0138] As shown in FIG. 13, specifically, the collecting pipe fixing member 70 can include a first fixing plate 701 and a second fixing plate 702, the first fixing plate 701 can be connected with the top of one of the sub heat exchangers 201 located at the outermost edge of the plurality of sub heat exchangers 201, the first fixing plate 701 is provided with a plurality of first avoiding grooves, the plurality of first avoiding grooves can be arranged at intervals along the second direction, and one end of the collecting pipe 301 can be arranged in the first avoiding groove, the second fixing plate 702 can be connected with the first fixing plate 701, and the second fixing plate 702 is provided with a plurality of second avoiding grooves, the plurality of second avoiding grooves can be arranged at intervals along the second direction, and the plurality of second avoiding grooves can be arranged one by one corresponding to the plurality of first avoiding grooves, and the second avoiding groove can form a mounting hole 700 together with the corresponding first avoiding groove to accommodate the collecting pipe 301, so that the first fixing plate 701 and the second fixing plate 702 can clamp the collecting pipe 301, thereby fixing the collecting pipe 301 between the first fixing plate 701 and the second fixing plate 702, that is, firmly fixed, and space can be saved.

[0139] In some embodiments, the first fixing plate 701 is provided with a first fixing hole 7011 at opposite ends along the second direction, respectively, and the first fixing plate 701 and the sub heat exchanger 201 can be connected together by inserting a screwing member into the first fixing hole 7011.

The clamping piece 7012 can be clamped with the clamping hole, so that the first fixed plate 701 and the sub heat exchanger 201 are clamped together. When installing the first fixed plate 701, the installer does not need to hold the first fixed plate 701 by hand, but only needs to clamp the first fixed plate 701 with the side plate 2012, which is very convenient to install.

[0141] Please refer to FIG. 12, FIG. 14 and FIG. 15. In some embodiments, the pipeline structure 30 further comprises a plurality of three-way pipes 303. One end of each three-way pipe 303 is connected with one conveying pipe 302, and the other two ends of each three-way pipe 303 are respectively communicated with two sub heat exchangers 201. By arranging the three-way pipes 303, the number of conveying pipes 302 can be reduced, so that there is more free space at the position of the pipeline structure 30, and the free space can facilitate the arrangement of the temperature sensing assembly 10.

The first connecting hole is communicated with the conveying pipe 302, and the second connecting hole and the third connecting hole are respectively communicated with two sub heat exchangers 201. The axis of the first connecting hole is arranged in the vertical direction, so that when the conveying pipe 302 is communicated with the first connecting hole, the conveying pipe 302 needs to protrude upward by a part and then bend downward to be communicated with the first connecting hole. The protruding part of the conveying pipe 302 can form an avoiding space, which can facilitate the arrangement of the collecting pipe 301. The axes of the second connecting hole and the third connecting hole are arranged in the horizontal direction, so that the second connecting hole and the third connecting hole can be easily communicated with two sub heat exchangers 201. Thus, the number of conveying pipes 302 can be reduced, and the saved space can be configured to install the temperature sensing assembly 10.

[0143] In some embodiments, the heat storage device 100 can comprise a plurality of temperature sensing assemblies 10, and each of the plurality of temperature sensing assemblies 10 can be inserted into the phase change material 50 between two adjacent sub heat exchangers 201.

[0148] Specifically, the first connecting piece 9011 can be provided on the bottom of the sub-heat exchanger 201, and the first connecting piece 9011 can include a first plate body 9011 and a plurality of first fixing portions 9012 provided on the first plate body 9011, the first plate body 9011 can be arranged in extension along the first direction, and the plurality of first fixing portions 9012 can be arranged in sequence and at intervals along the first direction, so that the plurality of first fixing portions 9012 can be arranged in alignment with the plurality of sub-heat exchangers 201 in the same direction, and thus the first fixing portions 9012 can be connected with the bottom of the corresponding side plate 2012, so that the first connecting piece 9011 can connect the bottoms of the plurality of sub-heat exchangers 201 in sequence.

When the second temperature is higher than a second preset temperature, the control module cuts off the charging mode, i.e. closes the charging flow path 202, and the first temperature and the second temperature measured by the two temperature sensing assemblies 10 can be used to conveniently determine the timing of starting the heat source module 300. In the preset parameters, the first preset temperature parameter is less than the second preset temperature parameter, and the first preset temperature and the second preset temperature are both set according to the phase change temperature of the phase change material 50.

The low-temperature zone of the phase change material 50 is 0

[0193] In some embodiments, the heat source module 300 can comprise a main heat source unit and an auxiliary heat source unit, both of which can be in communication with the charging flow path 202 and can transfer heat to the phase change material 50 through the charging flow path 202.
