Fig. 2 shows an alternative embodiment of the control method of the energy system described above.

In this optional embodiment, the control method includes the steps of: step 11, acquiring target temperature and actual temperature of each water heater; step 12, controlling the water heater to exchange heat with a high-temperature heat exchanger or a low-temperature heat exchanger in the transit heat exchanger according to the target temperature of the water heater; and step 13, controlling the time for heat exchange between the water heater and the transfer heat exchanger according to the difference value between the target temperature and the actual temperature of the water heater.

And selecting a high-temperature heat exchanger or a low-temperature heat exchanger which is close to the target temperature to exchange heat according to the target temperature of the water heater, for example, controlling the water heater to exchange heat with the high-temperature heat exchanger when the target temperature of the water heater is higher. And for example, if the target temperature of the water heater is lower, controlling the water heater to exchange heat with the low-temperature heat exchanger. By adopting the optional embodiment, the water temperature of the water heater can be controlled more accurately.

By adopting the optional embodiment, the terminal heat exchanger is controlled according to the difference value of the target temperature and the actual temperature and the time for heat exchange of the transfer heat exchanger is controlled, the temperature difference is large, the heat exchange time is long, the temperature difference is small, the heat exchange time is short, each water heater can be uniformly heated up or cooled down, and the use experience of a user is guaranteed.

Alternatively, the energy system may be in units of homes, or in units of entire buildings, or in units of entire cells, or in units of a certain area.

Optionally, the heat source device is a refrigerator, and a condenser of the refrigerator is connected to a terminal heat exchanger of the water heater through a relay heat exchanger.

Optionally, the heat source hot standby is an air conditioner in a cooling mode, and a condenser of the air conditioner is connected to a terminal heat exchanger of the water heater through a transfer heat exchanger.

Optionally, the target temperature is a preset temperature set by a user.

By adopting the optional embodiment, the opening time of the heat release valve of the transfer heat exchanger is controlled according to the difference value between the target temperature and the actual temperature, the temperature difference is large, the opening time is long, the temperature difference is small, the opening time is short, each water heater can be uniformly heated or cooled, and the use experience of a user is guaranteed.

For example, when the temperature difference between the target temperature and the actual temperature of one of the water heaters is larger, the water heater needs more heat exchange, and the opening time of a heat release valve for controlling a transit heat exchanger of the water heater is longer so as to ensure that the temperature is adjusted quickly.

For another example, when the temperature difference between the target temperature and the actual temperature of one of the water heaters is small, the water heater needs less heat exchange, and the opening time of a heat release valve for controlling a transit heat exchanger of the water heater is short, so as to ensure that the temperature regulation speed of each water heater is uniform.

Optionally, the actual temperature is obtained by a temperature sensor provided in the water heater.

In another optional embodiment, the method further comprises: acquiring the number of running water heaters; and controlling the water heaters and the transfer heat exchanger to exchange heat in a time-sharing manner according to the number of the running water heaters.

By adopting the optional embodiment, when the number of the running water heaters reaches a certain value, the water heaters connected with the transit heat exchanger are controlled by adopting a time-sharing opening method so as to ensure the supply of media in the condenser of the heat source equipment and ensure that each water heater can be uniformly heated or cooled.

Optionally, the step of controlling the water heater to perform heat exchange with the intermediate heat exchanger in a time-sharing manner according to the number of running water heaters includes: when the number of the running water heaters is smaller than a preset value, the water heaters are communicated with the transfer heat exchanger all the time; and when the number of the running water heaters is larger than a preset value, controlling the water heaters to be connected with the transit heat exchanger in a time-sharing mode.

For example, when the number of running water heaters is smaller than a preset value, a heat release valve of a transfer heat exchanger connected with the water heaters is controlled to be opened at all times; and when the number of the running water heaters is larger than a preset value, controlling a heat release valve of a transfer heat exchanger connected with the water heaters to be opened in a time-sharing manner.

The full-time opening of the heat release valve of the transfer heat exchanger does not mean that the heat release valve is always opened, but means that the opening or closing time of the heat release valve can be unlimited.

With this alternative embodiment, the capacity of the condenser can be optimized, and more water heaters can be supplied to operate through a condenser with a smaller capacity. For example, the number of water heaters which can be simultaneously supplied by the condenser is 10, when the number of running water heaters is 15, the number of the water heaters which exchange heat with the transfer heat exchanger is controlled to be 10 in one time period, the water heaters which are connected with the transfer heat exchanger are controlled by adopting a time-division opening method, uniform heat exchange of a plurality of water heaters is realized, the supply of media in the condenser is ensured, and each water heater can be uniformly heated or cooled.

Optionally, when the number of the running water heaters is greater than a preset value, a single-inlet single-outlet switching mode is adopted to control the connected water heaters and the quitted water heaters, and all the water heaters perform circulating heat exchange with the transit heat exchanger in the single-inlet single-outlet switching mode.

In another optional embodiment, the method further comprises: and controlling the number of the water heaters exchanging heat with the transfer heat exchanger simultaneously according to the number of the running water heaters and the difference value between the target temperature and the actual temperature of the water heaters.

By adopting the optional embodiment, the reasonable supply of the medium in the condenser can be ensured, and the stable operation of the system can be ensured.

For example, for a water heater with a large difference between the target temperature and the actual temperature, more heat exchange with the relay heat exchanger is required compared with a water heater with a small difference between the target temperature and the actual temperature, and therefore, the difference between the target temperature and the actual temperature is an important basis for controlling the number of the relay heat exchanger connected to the water heater. For example, for a water heater with a large difference between the target temperature and the actual temperature, more heat exchange needs to be performed on a single water heater, so that the number of the water heaters connected to the transit heat exchanger at the same time is controlled, and the condition that the medium supply in the condenser is insufficient is prevented. For another example, for a water heater with a small difference between the target temperature and the actual temperature, a single water heater needs to perform less heat exchange, and therefore, the transit heat exchanger can be connected to a large number of water heaters.

For another example, the transit heat exchanger exchanges heat with 20 water heaters, wherein 5 water heaters with the difference between the target temperature and the actual temperature being more than 20 ℃, 10 water heaters with the difference between the target temperature and the actual temperature being less than 10 ℃, the number of the water heaters exchanging heat with the transit heat exchanger is controlled to be 10, and the difference between the target temperature and the actual temperature of the 10 water heaters is less than 10 ℃; or controlling the number of the water heaters exchanging heat with the transfer heat exchanger to be 8, wherein the number of the water heaters with the difference between the target temperature and the actual temperature being less than 10 ℃ is 6, and the number of the water heaters with the difference between the target temperature and the actual temperature being more than 20 ℃ is 2; or the number of the water heaters exchanging heat with the transfer heat exchanger is controlled to be 5, wherein the difference between the target temperature and the actual temperature of the 5 water heaters is more than 20 ℃.

In another optional embodiment, the method further comprises: and controlling the time for heat exchange between the water heater and the transfer heat exchanger according to the number of running water heaters and the difference value between the target temperature and the actual temperature of the water heaters.

Optionally, when the target temperature is higher than the actual temperature, firstly, controlling the water heater to exchange heat with a high-temperature heat exchanger or a low-temperature heat exchanger in the transfer heat exchanger according to the target temperature of the water heater, and then, controlling the opening time of a heat release valve of the transfer heat exchanger of the water heater according to the difference value between the target temperature and the actual temperature of the water heater; and when the target temperature is lower than the actual temperature, controlling a heat release valve of a transfer heat exchanger of the water heater to be closed.

By adopting the optional embodiment, the heat exchange time of each water heater is different from that of the transfer heat exchanger, and the opening time of the heat release valve of the transfer heat exchanger of the water heater is controlled to be longer for the water heater with larger temperature difference between the target temperature and the actual temperature; and for the water heater with smaller temperature difference between the target temperature and the actual temperature, the opening time of a heat release valve of the transfer heat exchanger of the water heater is controlled to be shorter.

Wherein K is a proportionality coefficient, Delta T_nIs the difference between the target temperature and the actual temperature of the water heater, Δ T_avIs the average of the difference between the target temperature and the actual temperature of the running water heater, t_baseIs the reference on time.

For water heaters, Δ T_nIs the difference between the target temperature and the actual temperature when the temperature is delta T_nWhen the temperature is less than 0, the water heater stops exchanging heat with the transfer heat exchanger.

Optionally, the reference on-time t_baseAccording to the number of running water heaters. Alternatively, the greater the number of water heaters that are operatingSmall, the reference on-time t_baseThe longer the number of running water heaters, the more the reference on-time t_baseThe shorter.

Herein, the temperature adjusting device refers to a device which can bring about a change in temperature of itself or the environment when the device is operated, such as a refrigerator, an air conditioner, an air energy compressor, a solar heat collection and temperature adjustment device, a mobile robot heat release charger, a water heater, a heating and temperature adjustment device, a heating device, a compressor, a cold collection and temperature adjustment device, and a freezer.

An energy storage station according to an embodiment of the invention is described with reference to fig. 3a to 3 g.

The energy storage station 10, the energy absorbing end 101 of the energy storage station 10 is used for absorbing the energy of the temperature adjusting device (absorbing end temperature adjusting device 1011) capable of generating corresponding energy, and the energy releasing end 102 is used for releasing the energy to the temperature adjusting device (releasing end temperature adjusting device 1021) needing corresponding energy.

The specific form of the energy storage station 10 is not limited, and the main function is to store energy, and the energy storage station 10 is provided with an energy storage material which can store energy and ensure the heat insulation of the energy storage station 10. The energy storage station 10 may be a thermally insulated tank filled with energy storage material. Or a storage pool dug on the ground, and the inner wall of the storage pool is subjected to heat insulation treatment.

The energy storage station of the embodiment of the invention can be applied to a single family and can also be applied to a cell or a community. The application scenarios are different, the number of temperature regulating devices is different, and the storage capacity of the energy storage station 10 is different. For example, when applied in a single household setting, the number of temperature conditioning devices is limited, typically not exceeding 10. When the energy storage station is applied to a cell or even a larger community, the number of the external temperature adjustment devices is huge, and the energy storage amount of the energy storage station 10 needs to be large. The energy storage station, when having an application, may be determined only by the actual situation.

In the energy storage station 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the stored energy may be divided into heat and cold according to the temperature represented by the energy, and therefore, the heat and the cold are relative concepts and are divided according to a set limit (e.g., a temperature limit). Thus, in an alternative embodiment, the energy storage station 10 of an embodiment of the invention may be a heat storage device (heat storage station) 11, a cold storage device (cold storage station) 12, or comprise both a heat storage device 11 and a cold storage device 12.

The energy absorbing end 101 of the heat storage device 11 is a heat absorbing end 111 for absorbing heat of the first temperature adjusting device 1111 capable of generating heat, and the energy releasing end 102 is a heat releasing end 112 for releasing heat to the second temperature adjusting device 1121 requiring heat. For example, the first temperature adjusting device may be a refrigerator, an outdoor unit of an air conditioner during air conditioning, an air energy compressor, a solar heat collecting temperature adjusting device, a heat releasing charger of a mobile robot, and the like. The second temperature adjusting device can be a water heater, a heating air conditioner, a heating temperature adjusting device, a heating device and the like.

The energy absorbing terminal 101 of the cold storage device 12 is a cold absorbing terminal 121 (i.e., a heat releasing terminal) for absorbing cold of the third temperature adjusting apparatus 1211 capable of generating cold, and the energy releasing terminal 102 is a cold releasing terminal 122 (i.e., a heat absorbing terminal) for releasing cold to the fourth temperature adjusting apparatus 1221 requiring cold. For example, the third temperature adjusting device may be an outdoor unit of an air conditioner, a compressor, a cooling and temperature adjusting device, or the like, when the air conditioner is heating. The fourth temperature regulating device may be a refrigerator, an ice chest, a refrigerated air conditioner, or the like.

The energy storage station 10 of embodiments of the present invention may include one or more thermal storage devices 11, and one or more cold storage devices 12. As shown in fig. 3b, an energy storage station comprises a heat storage device 11 and a cold storage device 12. The specific number and types of the settings can be determined according to the set application scene.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the energy storage station 10 described below may be referred to as a heat storage device 11 or a cold storage device 12, unless otherwise specified. When the energy storage station 10 is used as the heat storage device 11, the energy absorbing terminal 101 is a heat absorbing terminal and the energy discharging terminal 102 is a heat discharging terminal. When the energy storage station 10 is used as the cold storage device 12, the energy absorbing terminal 101 is a cold absorbing terminal and the energy discharging terminal 102 is a cold discharging terminal.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the energy storage station 10 can absorb energy generated by one or more temperature control devices at the same time, and can also release energy to one or more temperature control devices at the same time, so that according to the actual situation of the external temperature control device, one or more energy absorption terminals 101 and one or more energy release terminals 102 can be provided, and the specific number is determined according to the actual situation.

In the energy storage station 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the energy absorption end 101 is used for absorbing energy of the temperature adjustment device 1011 (the first temperature adjustment device 1111 and the third temperature adjustment device 1211) capable of generating corresponding energy, and the absorption modes are various, for example, when a fluid medium is used as a carrier, the energy absorption end 101 is communicated with a heat exchange device at the side of the temperature adjustment device 1011 at the absorption end through a pipeline by using a heat exchange device, and a medium circulation path is formed between the energy storage station 10 and the temperature adjustment device. The fluid medium absorbs the energy generated by the temperature adjusting device side and then flows to the energy absorption end 101 of the energy storage station 10, the energy storage material in the energy storage station 10 absorbs and stores the energy of the medium at the energy absorption end 101, the fluid medium after releasing the energy flows out to the heat exchange device at the temperature adjusting device side to absorb the energy generated by the temperature adjusting device side, and the circulation is carried out, so that the energy storage of the energy storage station 10 is completed.

In an alternative embodiment, the energy absorbing terminals 101 of the energy storage station 10 are one or more, each energy absorbing terminal 101 being independently located. For example, the energy absorption side 101 of the energy storage station 10 comprises one (as shown in fig. 3 e) or more first heat exchange devices (as shown in fig. 3 d) having an inlet pipe 141 and an outlet pipe 142 (i.e. a group of communicating pipes 14) which communicate with the heat exchange device on the side of the absorption side temperature regulating device 1011 via two pipes, and energy is converted between the temperature regulating devices (the first temperature regulating device 1111 and the third temperature regulating device 1211) and the energy storage station 10 via respective medium circulation paths. For another example, as shown in fig. 3c, the energy absorption end 101 is a first heat exchange device, and the liquid inlet end of the first heat exchange device is connected to a plurality of liquid inlet pipes 141, and the liquid outlet end is connected to a plurality of liquid outlet pipes 142. One liquid inlet pipe 141 and one liquid outlet pipe 142 are used as a communicating pipe group 14 to form a plurality of independently arranged communicating pipe groups, and the communicating pipe groups are communicated with the terminal heat exchange device on the side of the external temperature regulating equipment. The energy absorption device is suitable for a scene that a plurality of external temperature adjustment devices input energy to the energy absorption end 101 at the same time. The flow control devices are arranged at the positions of the liquid inlet pipes at the liquid inlet end and the liquid outlet pipes at the liquid outlet end of the first heat exchange device, so that energy generated by one or more temperature adjusting devices can be absorbed simultaneously by controlling the flow control devices, the flow of media in a medium circulation pipeline of each temperature adjusting device is adjusted, and different heat exchange efficiencies are realized. In a further alternative embodiment, the energy absorption end 101 of the energy storage station 10 may further include a plurality of terminal heat exchangers, each terminal heat exchanger having a terminal liquid inlet pipe and a terminal liquid outlet pipe, and respectively connected to the liquid outlet pipe and the liquid inlet pipe of the first heat exchanger through two pipes. The terminal heat exchange device is arranged on the side of the temperature adjusting equipment 1011 at the absorption end and used for absorbing energy generated by the temperature adjusting equipment. The first heat exchanger and the terminal heat exchanger form a medium circulation path, and the energy generated by the temperature adjusting device is converted into the energy storage station 10 through a fluid medium. When the energy storage station 10 is the heat storage device 11, the terminal heat exchange device is arranged on the side of the first temperature regulating device 1111. When the energy storage station 10 is the cold storage device 12, the terminal heat exchanger is disposed on the third temperature control device 1211 side.

In another alternative embodiment, the energy absorbing end 101 of the energy storage station 10 is multiple, and the conduits of the multiple energy absorbing ends 101 are interconnected. The communication is performed in many ways as long as the heat exchange device on the temperature adjusting device side and the energy absorbing end 101 can form a medium circulation path. For example, as shown in fig. 3f, the energy absorption terminals 101 are connected to the liquid outlet transit line 152 through the liquid inlet transit line 151, the liquid inlet pipe 141 of each energy absorption terminal 101 is connected to the liquid inlet transit line 151, and the liquid outlet pipe 142 of each energy absorption terminal 101 is connected to the liquid outlet transit line 152. And then the liquid inlet transit pipeline 151 and the liquid outlet transit pipeline 152 are used as a group of communicating pipeline group, and are communicated with a terminal heat exchange device at the side of the temperature adjusting equipment through two pipelines, and energy conversion is carried out between the temperature adjusting equipment (the first temperature adjusting equipment and the third temperature adjusting equipment) and the energy storage station 10 through respective medium circulation passages. That is, the liquid inlets of the energy absorption ports 101 (the first heat exchange devices) are communicated, and the liquid outlets are communicated. The flow control devices are arranged at the communication ports of the inlet liquid transfer pipeline 151 and the outlet liquid transfer pipeline 152, so that the energy generated by one or more temperature adjusting devices can be absorbed simultaneously, and the energy can be transmitted to one or more energy absorption ends 101.

Similarly, the energy releasing end 102 is used for releasing energy to the temperature adjusting equipment needing corresponding energy. For example, when a fluid medium is used as a carrier, the energy releasing end 102 is connected with the heat exchange device on the equipment side through a pipeline by using a heat exchange device, and a medium circulation path is formed between the energy storage station 10 and the releasing end temperature adjusting equipment 1021 (the second temperature adjusting equipment 1121 and the fourth temperature adjusting equipment 1221). The fluid medium absorbs the energy in the energy storage material of the energy storage station 10 in the energy release end 102 and then flows to the terminal heat exchange device at the side of the temperature regulating device 1021, the temperature regulating device side absorbs the energy in the fluid medium, the fluid medium after the energy release flows back to the energy release end 102 of the energy storage station 10, and the cycle is repeated, so that the energy release of the energy storage station 10 is completed.

In an alternative embodiment, the energy release end 102 of the energy storage station 10 is one or more, and the piping of each energy release end 102 is independently arranged.

The second intermediate heat exchanger ii 30 shown in fig. 4g is obtained by adding the unidirectional heat transfer device 31 to the first intermediate heat exchanger ii 20, and the second intermediate heat exchanger vi 30 shown in fig. 4h is obtained by adding the unidirectional heat transfer device 31 to the first intermediate heat exchanger vi 20.

In the second intermediate heat exchanger 30 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the unidirectional heat conduction device 31 (forcibly) exchanges heat at the heat absorption end to the heat release end. Specifically, a refrigerant heat exchanger or a semiconductor temperature regulator may be used.

In an alternative embodiment, the refrigerant heat exchanger includes an evaporator 311, a compressor (not shown), a condenser 312 and an expansion valve (not shown), which are connected to form a heat exchange circuit. The second intermediate heat exchanger 30 includes two heat-absorbing chambers 303 and heat-releasing chambers 304 which are arranged in a heat-insulating manner; the evaporator 311 is disposed opposite to the heat absorbing end 301 of the second intermediate heat exchanger 30 and is disposed in the heat absorbing chamber 303; the condenser 312 is disposed opposite to the heat releasing end 302 of the second intermediate heat exchanger 30 and is disposed in the heat releasing chamber 304.

In another optional embodiment, the semiconductor temperature regulator comprises a semiconductor refrigeration piece, a first end heat exchanger arranged at a first end of the semiconductor refrigeration piece, a second end heat exchanger arranged at a second end of the semiconductor refrigeration piece, and a power supply device. The power supply device is used for supplying electric energy to the semiconductor refrigeration piece. By controlling the direction of the power supply current, the first end and the second end of the semiconductor refrigeration chip can be switched between two modes of heat generation and cold generation. For example, at a forward current, the first end is a cold end and the second end is a hot end; after the current direction is switched, the first end is switched to be the hot end, and the second end is switched to be the cold end. The second intermediate heat exchanger 30 includes two heat-absorbing chambers 303 and heat-releasing chambers 304 which are arranged in a heat-insulating manner; the first end heat exchanger is disposed opposite to the heat absorbing end 301 of the second intermediate heat exchanger 30 and is disposed in the heat absorbing chamber 303; the second end heat exchanger is disposed opposite to the heat releasing end 302 of the second intermediate heat exchanger 30 and is disposed in the heat releasing chamber 304. And determining that the first end heat exchanger is a hot end (or a cold end) and the second end heat exchanger is a cold end (or a hot end) according to actual conditions.

When precise energy needs to be supplied to the releasing-end temperature adjusting device, or heat transfer cannot be carried out between the energy storage station 10 and the temperature adjusting device according to a set direction, the one-way heat conduction device 31 is started, heat of the heat absorbing end 301 is forcibly exchanged to the heat releasing end 302, and then the heat is transferred to the energy storage station 10 (or the absorbing-end temperature adjusting device 1011 or the releasing-end temperature adjusting device 1021) through the heat releasing end 302.

The present invention is not limited to the structures that have been described above and shown in the drawings, and various modifications and changes can be made without departing from the scope thereof. The scope of the invention is limited only by the appended claims.
