Example 1
In order to eliminate the defect that the structure of the power storage device in the prior art is too complex or the energy loss is too large in the energy conversion process, referring to fig. 1 to 4, in an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a power storage device for a prime mover, including: a transmission member 13 and an electrolytic accumulator unit; the electrolytic power storage unit includes a rotatable magnetic circuit 11 and an annular electrolytic cell 12;
the annular electrolytic cell 12 is filled with electrolyte; the annular electrolytic cell 12 includes a cell membrane 121; the cell membrane 121 serves to divide the electrolyte into a cathode chamber and an anode chamber; the cathode chamber and the anode chamber are respectively provided with a cathode plate 122 and an anode plate 123; a monitoring unit (such as a voltage monitoring unit) may be further disposed between the cathode plate 122 and the anode plate 123; the rotatable magnetic circuit 11 includes a rotation shaft 111 passing through a circular hole surrounded by the annular electrolytic cell 12 (i.e., an annular hole of the annular electrolytic cell 12), and a pair of pole shoes (i.e., a first pole shoe 112 and a second pole shoe 113) respectively located on both sides of and perpendicular to the electrolytic cell diaphragm; the transmission part 13 drives the rotating shaft 121 through the prime motor 01 to drive the pole shoe pairs to rotate on two sides of the annular electrolytic cell 12; the rotation of the rotatable magnetic circuit 11 causes an induced potential and an induced current to be generated between the electrolytes on both sides of the cell membrane 121.
In the prior art, in the working principle of electrolytic power storage, a direct current power supply is generally adopted to supply power to two electrode plates in an electrolytic cell, so that potential and current are generated between electrolyte at two sides of a diaphragm of the electrolytic cell, and then the electrolyte is subjected to electrochemical reaction to convert electric energy into chemical energy so as to realize power storage and energy storage.
As shown in fig. 2, the application scenario of the embodiment of the invention is that the electric storage device is directly linked with the prime motor, a direct current power supply is not required to be arranged, and induced potential and induced current are directly generated between electrolyte at two sides of the diaphragm of the electrolytic cell, so that the electrolyte is subjected to electrochemical reaction; taking a wind turbine as an example of a prime motor, the working principle of the embodiment of the invention is that when the wind turbine outputs mechanical energy, the transmission part 13 can drive the rotating shaft of the rotating magnetic circuit 11 to rotate, and at the moment, the rotatable magnetic circuit 11 drives one or more pairs of pole shoes respectively adjacent to the cathode chamber and the anode chamber of the annular electrolytic cell 12 to rotate; since the annular electrolytic cell 12 is stationary, when the pole shoe pair rotates, the rotating magnetic field between the pole shoe pair will be cut by the electrolyte in the annular electrolytic cell 12, thereby generating induced potential and induced current in the electrolyte, and causing electrochemical reaction of the electrolyte.
In practical use, as shown in fig. 3, the cross section of the annular electrolytic cell 12 may be rectangular; in addition, the cross section of the annular electrolytic cell 12 may be an annular electrolytic cell.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the electrolyte in the annular electrolytic cell 12 needs to be partitioned into a cathode chamber and an anode chamber by the cell membrane 121; the direction of the diaphragm 121 is adapted to the pole shoe pair of the rotatable magnetic circuit 11, that is, after the diaphragm 121 separates the annular electrolytic cell 12 into an anode chamber and a cathode chamber, a pair of pole shoes are respectively located at one side of the anode chamber and one side of the cathode chamber, so that when the pole shoe pair rotates, the magnetic force lines of the magnetic field between the pole shoe pair can be cut by the electrolyte in the annular electrolytic cell 12, and the following specific purposes are achieved:
as shown in FIG. 4, when the pole shoe pair rotates, the electrolyte in the annular electrolytic cell 12 moves relative to the magnetic field (magnetic induction B) between the pole shoe pair, with a relative velocity v perpendicular to the magnetic lines, and an induced potential E is generated in the electrolyte due to the conductivity of the electrolyte i :
In induced electric field E i Under the action, cations in the electrolyte migrate to the cathode direction, anions migrate to the anode direction, and the generated current density J is as follows:
J=γE i
the electrolyte in the annular electrolytic cell 12 undergoes electrolytic reactions at the cathode and the anode, respectively. Unlike the prior art, which relies on a dc power supply to be applied externally, the electric field in the embodiments of the present invention is induced in the electrolyte.
It should be noted that, the magnet in the embodiment of the present invention may be a permanent magnet or an electromagnet; wherein the permanent magnets are preferably high energy storage permanent magnets.
Further, when the magnet is an electromagnet, in the embodiment of the present invention, an electromagnetic control unit (not shown in the figure) may be further provided, and the electromagnetic control unit controls the electrolysis rate of the electrolyte by adjusting the electromagnetic strength of the magnet.
In the embodiment of the invention, the anode plate and the cathode plate can also monitor the voltage of the electrolytic cell by arranging an external voltage monitoring unit so as to reflect the charging degree.
Further, as shown in fig. 5, the inner cavity of the annular electrolytic cell 12 in the embodiment of the present invention may further include a plurality of mutually independent subchambers 201 (i.e., a plurality of storage batteries or storage battery groups are formed by the plurality of subchambers 201); each subchamber 201 is provided with a cell membrane 121, a cathode plate 122 and an anode plate 123; so that each subchamber can be used individually as a subchamber. It should be noted that, the number and the size of the sub-cavities in the embodiments of the present invention may be set by those skilled in the art according to needs, and are not limited herein.
Further, in the embodiment of the present invention, the transmission component further includes a speed change mechanism (not shown in the figure); the rotating speed change mechanism is arranged between the prime motor and the rotating shaft and is used for controlling the rotating speed of the rotating shaft.
Further, in the embodiment of the present invention, a control unit (not shown in the figure) is further included; the control unit comprises a monitoring component and a processing unit; the monitoring component is used for monitoring the electrochemical reaction speed of the electrolyte; the processing unit is used for generating a rotating speed control instruction of the rotating speed change mechanism according to the electrolysis reaction speed; thereby realizing the smoothness of the charging process, reducing the fluctuation of the electrochemical reaction, and limiting the highest charging voltage.
Further, in the embodiment of the present invention, an inverter (not shown in the figure) may be further connected to the dc output interface, so that ac power output to the load may be achieved.
In summary, in the embodiment of the invention, the power storage device for the prime mover is provided, in which the electrolytic cell is provided in a ring shape, and the rotatable magnetic circuit capable of generating the induced potential and the induced current in the electrolyte between the cathode chamber and the anode chamber of the ring-shaped electrolytic cell when rotating is provided, so that the induced potential and the induced current for electrolytically storing the electrolyte can be generated in the electrolyte by the mechanical energy drive of the prime mover after the transmission member is provided in transmission connection with the prime mover.
The electrolytic cell of the invention does not need to be provided with a direct current power supply, can directly convert the mechanical energy of the prime motor into electrochemical reaction energy, and reduces the energy conversion links, so that the structure of the electric storage device can be effectively simplified, and the energy loss caused by energy conversion is reduced.
Example two
On the basis of the first embodiment, it is preferable that in the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1, the cell membrane 121 may be provided in parallel with the axial direction of the rotation shaft, so that the cell may be divided into an anode chamber on one side of the annular inner wall of the annular electrolytic cell 12 and a cathode chamber on one side of the annular outer wall of the annular electrolytic cell 12 (as shown in fig. 1); further, depending on the rotation direction of the rotatable magnetic circuit 11, the electrolytic cell may be divided into a cathode chamber on one side of the inner ring wall of the annular electrolytic cell 12 and an anode chamber on one side of the outer ring wall of the annular electrolytic cell 12; at this time, in order to fit the pole shoe with the cell membrane 121, the structure of the rotatable magnetic circuit 11 may be set as follows:
the rotating shaft 111 as a magnet passes through an annular hole surrounded by the annular electrolytic cell 12, and the upper and lower ends of the rotating shaft 111 are respectively provided with one or more pairs of pole shoes (e.g., disk-shaped first pole shoe 112 and second pole shoe 113); an annular electrolytic cell 12 is located between the pole shoe pairs. Preferably, the outer edges of the disc-shaped pole pieces are adapted to the outer edges of the annular electrolytic cell 12.
The magnetic field B applied by the rotatable magnetic circuit 11 is perpendicular to the electrolytic cell and its rotation allows for magnetic field rotation. The magnetic induction intensity of the rotatable magnetic circuit 11 in the electrolytic cell is B, and the rotation linear velocity is v; since the electrolyte is relatively stationary and the magnetic field is relatively moving, the v direction in the induced electric field calculation formula is opposite to the direction of magnetic field movement. Taking fig. 1 as an example, the induced electric field is directed from the inner ring to the outer ring, so that one side of the inner ring wall of the annular electrolytic cell 12 is the anode chamber of the electrolytic cell, and one side of the outer ring wall is the cathode chamber of the electrolytic cell; that is, in the annular electrolytic cell 12, as shown in fig. 4, an anode reaction occurs on the inner side and a cathode reaction occurs on the outer side.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the specific implementation manner and the technical effect of the power storage system for a prime mover may refer to the power storage device for a prime mover corresponding to the first embodiment, and will not be described herein.
Example III
On the basis of the first embodiment, preferably, in the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 6, the cell diaphragm 121 may be provided perpendicularly to the axial direction of the rotation shaft, so that the cell may be divided into an anode chamber on the side of the upper end of the annular cell 12 and a cathode chamber on the side of the lower end of the annular cell 12 (as shown in fig. 4); further, depending on the rotation direction of the rotatable magnetic circuit 11, the electrolytic cell may be divided into a cathode chamber on the side of the upper end of the annular electrolytic cell 12 and an anode chamber on the side of the lower end of the annular electrolytic cell 12; at this time, in order to adapt the pole shoe pair to the cell membrane 121, the structure of the rotatable magnetic circuit 11 may be set as follows:
the rotating shaft 111 as one pole shoe of the rotatable magnetic circuit passes through a circular hole surrounded by the annular electrolytic cell 12 and an annular magnet is sleeved at the upper end of the rotating shaft; the outer edge of the annular magnet is sleeved with a pipe-shaped other pole shoe; an annular electrolytic cell 12 is located between the pole shoe pairs.
Unlike the embodiment, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the rotatable magnetic circuit rotates counterclockwise, the direction of magnetic force lines is horizontally inward, the direction of an induced electric field generated in the electrolyte (for example, electrolyzed water) is from top to bottom, the upper side of the electrolytic cell is an anode, and the lower side is a cathode; the intermediate annular electrolyte membrane 121 isolates the generated gas and establishes an internal electric field.

In another aspect of the embodiment of the present invention, there is further provided an electric storage system for a prime mover, as shown in fig. 2, including a prime mover 01 and the electric storage device described in the above embodiment;
in the embodiment of the invention, the power storage device is directly linked with the prime motor 01, a direct-current power supply is not required to be arranged for outputting mechanical energy to the prime motor, and induced potential and induced current are directly generated between electrolyte at two sides of the diaphragm of the electrolytic cell, so that the electrolyte is electrolyzed; taking the prime mover 01 as an example of a wind turbine, the working principle of the embodiment of the invention is that when the wind turbine outputs mechanical energy, the rotating shaft of the rotating magnetic circuit 11 can be driven to rotate through the transmission part 13, and at the moment, the pole shoe pairs respectively adjacent to the cathode chamber and the anode chamber of the annular electrolytic cell 12 are driven to rotate through the rotatable magnetic circuit 11; since the annular electrolytic cell 12 is stationary, when the pole shoe pair rotates, the rotating magnetic field between the pole shoe pair will be cut by the electrolyte in the annular electrolytic cell 12, thereby generating induced potential and induced current in the electrolyte, and causing the electrolyte to electrochemically react.
In practical applications, the prime mover 01 in the embodiment of the present invention may specifically include a gas turbine, a steam turbine, a wind turbine, an internal combustion engine, or the like.
