Explain in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings the present invention below.
With reference to Fig. 2, according to an embodiment of the invention, provide a kind of illuminator, the LED light fixture 8 that this illuminator comprises power supply, be electrically connected with this power supply by electric wire 9 and be used to LED light fixture 8 that the converter 10 of the voltage of expectation is provided.According to the present invention, thermoelectricity generating means is applied in the power supply in illuminator.Specifically, power supply comprises: it has hot side 51 and cold side 52 hot polymerization collection portion 1, heat absorption portion 2, container 3, phase-change material 4, thermoelectricity generating unit 5(), radiator 6, heat-insulating material 7.Below, these parts are described in more detail.
In container 3, accommodate phase-change material 4, thereby container 3 and phase-change material 4 form the hot storage part according to power supply of the present invention.Thermoelectricity generating unit 5 have with the hot side 51 of phase-change material 4 thermal communications in hot storage part and with hot side 51 relative cold side 52, thermoelectricity generating unit 5 produces electric energy according to hot side 51 and the temperature difference of cold side 52.On the both sides of the ceramic wafer of thermoelectricity generating unit 5, all can be stained with high conductive graphite sheet, so that low contact heat resistance to be provided.
According to said structure, can understand, power supply of the present invention comprises thermoelectricity generating unit (thermoelectric generator, TEG) 5, wherein be combined with the phase-change material (phase change material, PCM) of latent heat, thereby phase-change material is as the energy source of LED light fixture.
Below, thermoelectricity generating unit 5 is described in detail.The hot side of thermoelectricity generating unit 5 and phase-change material 4 carry out thermo-contact.In the time there is the temperature difference in the both sides of thermoelectricity generating unit 5, according to Seebeck(Seebeck) effect, will between two contacts (junction) of thermoelectricity generating unit, will there is voltage difference.Thermal power transfer becomes the efficiency of electric energy to depend on the temperature difference between thermoelectric figure of merit (ZT) and hot side and the cold side of material.According to the present invention, in order to improve conversion efficiency of thermoelectric, the thermoelectric material that preferably ZT value is greater than 1, for example Bi 2te 3, PbTe, BiSb.Preferably, by methods such as doping, can obtain the thermoelectric material of ZT value within the scope of 2-3.
Below, in order to make the present invention clearer, in conjunction with Fig. 1, phase-change material is briefly described.
Phase-change material 4 as the needed origin of heat of thermal source of thermoelectricity generating unit 5 in solar energy.In the time that solar energy is radiated on phase-change material 4 by day, heat can be stored in phase-change material 4 with relative stationary temperature.The phase-change material 4 with melting latent heat produces phase transformation, and the relation of its phase transformation and temperature schematically illustrates as shown in Figure 1.In Fig. 1, phase-change material 4 is when receiving after the heat that comes from solar energy, and the temperature of left side curve O-A starts to rise from initial point O, until reach an A.The heat input that comes from solar energy will further make phase-change material 4 meltings, but temperature does not rise (,, as shown in A-B, phase-change material 4 enters its phase transformation state), then, the temperature of phase-change material 4 keeps its substantially invariable melting point and absorbs a large amount of heats at this temperature place.Phase-change material 4 continues to absorb heat and temperature does not rise, until all material in B point place phase-change material 4 all becomes liquid phase.When at night, no longer include the heat radiation that comes from solar energy on phase-change material 4, and the ambient temperature decline around of the phase-change material 4 of liquid, phase-change material 4 solidifies starting, the contrary process of phase transformation while starting to occur with daytime., carry out phase transformation from a B towards an A.By phase transition process, phase-change material 4 by absorbed thermal release out, and offers thermoelectricity generating unit 5 by this heat.
In process at phase-change material 4 from B to A, it is constant that temperature keeps substantially.Thereby, also substantial constant of the output voltage of thermoelectricity generating unit 5, and the stability that complicated circuit keeps voltage needn't be set.Because maximum current depends on constant internal resistance, thereby the maximum output power of this thermoelectric power generation portion is also constant substantially.Phase-change material, for thermoelectricity generating unit 5, can improve the stability of its surperficial temperature.In addition, because phase-change material is stored in heat wherein by phase transformation, and out and by thermoelectricity generating unit convert thermal release to electric energy in the time of night, thereby can make the operating time of power supply of the present invention extend to night,, realize not only by day but also can be illuminator power supply the time at night.
That is to say, latent heat is stored in phase-change material 4, thereby accumulate heat energy by absorbing by day and assembling solar energy, and heat energy is converted into electric energy by thermoelectricity generating unit 5, thereby not only by day but also can be at night for driving LED light fixture, thus power supply of the present invention do not need the heavy and expensive battery of volume.In addition, according to the present invention, be combined with the thermoelectricity generating unit 5 of phase-change material 4 of latent heat due to electric power can be provided independently, even thereby illuminator do not access electrical network, also can realize illumination.
Suppose direct irradiation of sunlight on phase-change material 4 (, in the situation that not arranging according to hot polymerization collection portion 1 of the present invention and heat absorption portion 2), phase-change material 4 (is for example stored in airtight transparent storage container, made by glass) in, and in the time that daytime, solar light irradiation was on container, the temperature of this container can reach 60 degrees Celsius.
Suppose to adopt the thermoelectricity generating unit 5 with bismuth telluride to carry out driving LED light fixture, the ZT value of this thermoelectricity generating unit is approximately 1.1 in the time of 300K.If when the phase-change material 4 that uses the melting point with about 60 degrees Celsius as the thermal source of thermoelectricity generating unit 5 and and then for driving LED light fixture, and the temperature of supposing cold side is 20 degrees Celsius while being 40 degrees Celsius (are temperature difference), conversion efficiency of thermoelectric is 2.3% left and right, and at this moment power supply may will only produce the power output of 1W.
In table 1, listed the melting point, ablation heat, density of phase-change material 4, these materials of the melting point with about 60 ± 12 degrees Celsius and for generation of the power output of 1W to drove the quality (calculating of described quality be hypothesis have under the prerequisite that under the temperature difference of 40 degrees Celsius, conversion efficiency of thermoelectric is 2.3% carry out) of the needed material of LED matrix (, the power in four hours be approximately 1W and total electric energy is about 14.4KJ) of 1W on electrothermal module in four hours.
Table 1: the characteristic with the phase-change material of the melting point of 60 ± 12 degrees Celsius
Figure BDA00002396222100101
Can be drawn by description and above-mentioned table 1 above, conversion efficiency of thermoelectric is in this case lower, and power output less (1W).Thereby, if use this execution mode, may need the quantity of the thermoelectricity generating unit being connected in series by connection converter or change to make output voltage meet the needs of LED light fixture, thereby voltage can be changed according to the difference of practical application.
As can be seen from the above Table 1, although the phase-change material 4 of required use reduces to some extent than the quality of the battery in known technology, its quality is relatively large (when especially comparing with the table 2 of describing afterwards) still.The phase-change material 4 that quality is larger will make the structure heaviness of power supply.In addition, as mentioned above, because its power output is lower, thereby may need the thermoelectricity generating unit of a greater number to form power supply, thereby may further increase the weight of power supply.
Thereby the present invention is further improved structure.Specifically, in power supply, be further provided with hot polymerization collection portion 1.Hot polymerization collection portion 1 is for being radiated the heat accumulation of hot polymerization collection portion 1, thereby phase-change material 4 receives and store the heat that comes from hot polymerization collection portion 1.Hot polymerization collection portion is favourable by heat accumulation, promotes absorption and the storage of heat, thereby can produce higher temperature.Described higher temperature means that the temperature of hot side of thermoelectricity generating unit is higher, thereby in the time that cold side is still for example the temperature of 20 degrees Celsius, the temperature difference that makes hot side and cold side is become to large, thereby can improve conversion efficiency of thermoelectric.
Preferably, hot polymerization collection portion 1 is made up of the optical element for gathered light, thereby makes to make heat accumulation by the gathering of sunlight.Preferably, hot polymerization integrates portion 1 as concave mirror or lens, and for example, as shown in Figure 2, hot polymerization collection portion 1 can be the concave mirror with the cross section of parabolic shape.The minute surface collector of parabolic curved can reflect the solar energy of direct projection, and sunlight is assembled in heat absorption portion, thereby obtains the solar energy of assembling.According to the material of the design of geometry and hot polymerization collection portion, the sunlight of assembling can be heated to phase-change material 4 higher temperature of expectation.But this hot polymerization collection portion 1 is not limited to described concave mirror or lens, as long as it can be designed so that heat accumulation.
Hot polymerization collection portion 1 will be radiated hot polymerization collection portion 1 heat accumulation to focus or focal plane.For heat being rapidly absorbed and being delivered to phase-change material, can preferably in focus or focal plane place, heat absorption portion 2 be set.That is to say, heat absorption portion 2 is for absorbing the heat of being assembled by hot polymerization collection portion 1, and heat absorption portion 2 with phase-change material 4 thermal communications so that the heat being absorbed is passed to phase-change material 4.
According to the present invention, by the setting of hot polymerization collection portion 1 and heat absorption portion 2, can make temperature reach 300 degrees Celsius of left and right, and working temperature even can reach 400 degrees Celsius.Thereby, correspondingly can choice for use there is the material of melting point of approximately 300 degrees Celsius as phase-change material 4, and then provide thermal source for thermoelectricity generating unit 5.Suppose to adopt the thermoelectricity generating unit with bismuth telluride to carry out driving LED light fixture, the phase-change material 4 of melting point that there are approximately 300 degrees Celsius in use, the hot side 51 of thermoelectricity generating unit can be 280 degrees Celsius (temperature of supposing cold side is 20 degrees Celsius) with the temperature difference of cold side 52, this electrothermal module will produce the power output of 5W, and provide the open circuit voltage of 10V, and energy conversion efficiency is 11.7%.
Table 2 melting point that melting point is phase-change material 4 melting salt compounds, these materials of 250 degrees Celsius to 330 degrees Celsius, ablation heat, density are disclosed and for generation of the power output of 1W to drove the quality (calculating of described quality be hypothesis have under the prerequisite that under the temperature difference of 280 degrees Celsius, conversion efficiency of thermoelectric is 11.7% carry out) of the needed material of LED matrix (, the power in four hours be approximately 1W and total electric energy is about 14.4KJ) of 1W on electrothermal module in four hours.
Table 2: the characteristic with the phase-change material of the melting point of 250 to 330 degrees Celsius
Figure BDA00002396222100121
Thereby, according to the present invention, can preferably have from the material as phase-change material 4 of the melting point of 250 degrees Celsius to 330 degrees Celsius and comprise LiNO 3, NaOH-NaNO 3, NaOH-NaNO 2, NaNO 2, ZnCl 2, NaNO 3, NaOH, KNO 3.By the use of hot polymerization collection portion and these phase-change materials, can greatly improve the conversion efficiency of thermoelectric of thermoelectricity generating unit 5.In addition, convert the electric energy of 14.4KJ to so that the power output that produces 1W is in the case of operating in the time period long between four hours the LED matrix of 1W at the heat energy that 129KJ is provided, the quality of material is approximately 0.5Kg.,, with respect to the phase-change material 4 of melting point with approximately 60 degrees Celsius, quality greatly reduces, and can make power supply lightweight.
Thereby, according to the present invention, assemble solar energy by a kind of hot polymerization storage of design and use, can increase the heat being radiated on phase-change material 4 to obtain higher temperature.Thereby, can utilize the phase-change material 4 with higher melting point to improve conversion efficiency of thermoelectric, and for the power output of same amount, can reduce the quality of needed phase-change material 4.
According to the present invention, for example as shown in Figure 2, multiple hot polymerization collection portion 1 can array way be arranged on hot storage part, thereby increases on the one hand the area of heat absorption, can absorb as much as possible heat; Can make on the other hand the absorptance of heat more even, thereby the temperature of the hot side of thermoelectricity generating unit is even, is beneficial to and produces stable electric power.
Preferably, for the benefit of absorb heat by absorbing light, hot storage part comprises the container 3 of being made up of the transparent material at least in part of for example glass, and phase-change material 4 is contained in container 3.Preferably, the container that transparent material is made is airtight container, thereby avoids heat because gas communication is lost.Further, the periphery wall of container 3 also can be attached with heat-insulating material 7.
Heat absorption portion 2 can form separately on split ground with container 3, and for example, heat absorption portion 2 makes with the metal that transmits performance by having good heat absorption performance at least in part.
Certainly, heat absorption portion 2 also can be integrally formed with hot storage part.For example, heat absorption portion 2 comprises the protuberance outstanding from the end face of container 3, and protuberance accommodates phase-change material, and the phase-change material in protuberance can be communicated with by fluid with the phase-change material in hot storage part.Thereby the phase-change material in heat absorption portion 2 is owing to being heated fast after thawing in heat accumulation place, the phase-change material of heating and melting flows in container 3, and then transfer heat to other phase-change material in container 3, thereby heat is stored in this container, and finally for thermoelectricity generating unit 5 provides thermal source.
Heat absorption portion 2 can be formed as spherical, thereby more intensively absorbs the heat that is collected at focus place.Certainly, the shape of heat absorption portion 2 is not limited only to this, and those skilled in the art can change the shape of heat absorption portion 2 as required or according to the concrete shape of hot polymerization collection portion.
Container 3 adheres to the hot side 51 of thermoelectricity generating unit 5 by heat-conducting glue, thereby realizes better fixing and heat conduction.
