Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention is related to a thermal storage element, in particular, to an energy storage assembly and an energy storage element thereof.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- During summer time or weather of high temperatures, air conditioners or cooling fans are often used for drawing cooling air into a room, office or confined space internally and while during winter time or weather of low temperatures, heaters or hot-air fans capable of generating heated air are often used in raising the temperature of a room, office or confined space. Nevertheless, no matter whether the air-flow generating device is generating cold air or hot air, its activation and operation require large amount of power consumption, which also typically happens at peak times of high demands of power consumption.
- Currently, there have been energy storage materials developed in the market, and such energy storage materials are able to pre-store energy at times of low demands of power consumption such that when the air-flow generating device is switched on during the peak times of high demands of power consumption, the air-flow generating device is able to utilize the energy storage materials in conjunction with the operation as a whole in order to either raise or lower the room temperature effectively; therefore, the power consumption at the peak times of high energy demands can be reduced and the effects of increasing the efficiency of the power consumption as well as reducing the costs of electricity can be advantageously achieved.
- The energy storage materials can be configured corresponding to the air-flow generating device in order to allow the air flow generated by the air-flow generating device to be in contact with the energy storage device and to transfer the cold or heat energy from the energy storage material to the air flow such that once the air flow is further released to the environment of a room, the room temperature can be either raised or lowered effectively. Therefore, the question of how to create low hydraulic resistance for the energy storage material in order to allow the air to pass through the energy storage material smoothly is a crucial technical effect to be achieved by the energy storage material.
- In view of the above, the inventor seeks to provide a technical solution in overcoming the aforementioned problem and achieving its objectives along with years of research and development as well as application of theoretical principles.
- The present invention is to provide an energy storage assembly and an energy storage element thereof, in which the energy storage element is a cylindrical body with the merits of providing low hydraulic resistance due to the formation of its unique shape to allow the air flow to pass through the energy storage element more smoothly at great speed.
- In one aspect, the present invention provides an energy storage element comprising:
- a cylindrical body having a channel with a circular cross section formed in an axial direction in an internal thereof; wherein the cylindrical body comprises an energy storage material.
- In another aspect, the present invention provides an energy storage assembly comprising:
- a fixation member; and
- at least one of the aforementioned energy storage element; wherein the at least one energy storage element is detachably attached to the fixation member.
- The present invention further includes the following merits and technical effects:
- (1) As the energy storage material has a large capacity for heat storage, the air flow passing through the cylindrical bodies can be kept at a lowered or raised temperature continuously while allowing the energy storage elements to pre-store energy at times of low power demands and to be reused again at times of high power demands in order to reduce the power consumption of the device during the peak time of high power demands, to reduce the efficiency of power consumption and to reduce the costs of electricity.
- (2) Since each one of the energy storage element is a cylindrical body having a channel with a circular cross section formed therein, the shape of the energy storage element has the merits of low hydraulic resistance such that by reducing its hydraulic resistance, the air flow passing therethrough can be of greater quantity of low and higher wind speed.
- (3) With the merits of low hydraulic resistance due to the shape of the cylindrical body, the air flow is allowed to smoothly pass through the energy storage elements while maintaining a certain area of contact therewith such that great heat transfer between the energy storage elements and the air flow can be achieved.
- (4) When the cylindrical bodies lose their effects of cooling or heating over time, one needs to only replace the cylindrical bodies in the energy storage assembly such that the energy storage assembly with newly replaced cylindrical bodies is able to recover its cooling and heating capability in order to maintain great air conditioning of the air released to the environment.
- (5) The cylindrical bodies can be arranged in various forms such as that they can be arranged to in a horizontal series front to rear or left to right and they can also be stacked in a vertical series top to bottom; their arrangements also allow the shape of the cylindrical bodies to have corresponding relationship with each other in order to create low hydraulic resistance; for example, the air flow channel formed by four cylindrical bodies aligned with each other can also have low hydraulic resistance to allow the air flow to smoothly pass these energy storage elements at great speed.

case 2 includes anaccommodating space 21, and the air-flow generating device 200 is arranged corresponding to theaccommodating space 21 while thefixation member 30 is fixed firmly within theaccommodating space 21 to allow theair flow 201 generated by the air-flow generating device 200 to pass through theenergy storage elements 10; wherein thefixation member 30 can be adangling element 31, and suchdangling element 31 includes ahook 311 at a rear end thereof such that thedangling element 31 is able to use thehook 311 to hang onto thecase 2. For theenergy storage assembly 3 of the present invention, as shown inFIGS. 7 to 9 , itsenergy storage elements 10 are detachably attached to thefixation member 30. Therefore, since theenergy storage elements 10 arecylindrical bodies 1 and the channels with circular cross sections are formed in the internals of thecylindrical bodies 1, the shapes of theenergy storage elements 10 have the merit of low hydraulic resistance to lower their individual hydraulic resistance and to increase the quantity of the air flow as well as the wind speed such that theair flow 201 is able to pass through theenergy storage elements 10 smoothly at great speed. - With respect to the state of use of the
energy storage assembly 3 and theenergy storage element 10 of the present invention, as shown inFIG. 9 , anair flow 201 is generated once the air-flow generating device 200 is switched on to allow theair flow 201 to flow into theaccommodating space 21. First, thecylindrical bodies 1 are pre-cooled or pre-heated at a time of low demand of power consumption (such as at night time), followed by placing thecylindrical bodies 1 into theaccommodating space 21. Thecylindrical bodies 1 then continuously raise or lower the temperature of theair flow 201 such that theenergy storage elements 10 can pre-store energy at a time of low demand of power consumption (such as at night time) to be further sued at a peak time of high demand of power consumption in order to reduce the power consumption at the peak time of high demand of power consumption and to increase the efficiency of power consumption as well as save costs of electricity. - In addition, since each one of the
energy storage elements 10 is acylindrical body 1 and the channel withcircular cross section 11 is formed in the internal of thecylindrical body 1, the shape of theenergy storage element 10 has the merit of low hydraulic resistance. Furthermore, as shown inFIGS. 7 to 9 , when the number of thefixation member 30 and theenergy storage element 10 is plural, the plurality offixation members 30 can be aligned parallel with each other and the plurality ofenergy storage elements 30 can be connected in a series, in which theenergy storage elements 10 can be either stacked onto on another vertically or aligned horizontally left to right as well as front to rear, their arrangements also allow the shape of the cylindrical bodies to have corresponding relationship with each other in order to create low hydraulic resistance. Also, four of theenergy storage elements 10 can be arranged adjacent to each other to form anair flow channel 40, and suchair flow channel 40 also have the characteristic of low hydraulic resistance to allow theair flow 201 to smoothly pass through theenergy storage elements 10 in order to increase the efficiency of theenergy storage assembly 3. - Furthermore, as shown in
FIG. 10 , in this embedment, the number of thefixation member 30 and theenergy storage element 10 is singular. When only oneenergy storage element 10 is fixed firmly inside theaccommodating space 21, since theenergy storage element 10 is acylindrical body 1 and a channel withcircular cross section 1 is formed in the internal of thecylindrical body 1, the shape of such singleenergy storage element 10 can also have the merit of low hydraulic resistance. Accordingly, theenergy storage element 10 can be embodied as the structure of the fourth embodiment mentioned above or it can also be embodied as the structure of the other embodiments mentioned above. - Additionally, as shown in
FIG. 4 again, the outer circumferential surface of thecylindrical body 1 includes a pair of through holes formed thereon and arranged opposite to each other; alternatively, as shown inFIG. 5 again, the outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical body includes a ring slot formed to circumference thereon to facilitate the adjustment of the number ofcylindrical bodies 1 to be mounted on thedangling element 31 and to allow the number of the cylindrical bodies to be modified according to needs, which means that theenergy storage assembly 3 can be modified to have either increased or reduced number ofenergy storage elements 10 thereon in order to enhance the usability and convenience of theenergy storage assembly 3 and theenergy storage elements 10. - Finally, the
dangling element 31 includes ahook 311 at the rear end thereof and thehook 311 can be hung onto thecase 2, which means that thedangling element 31 can be either assembled onto or detached from thecase 2 rapidly with ease to facilitate the use of theenergy storage assembly 3. - In view of the above, the energy storage assembly and the energy storage element of the present invention is not seen in any of the prior arts and is of industrial applicability, novelty and inventive step. In addition, present invention complies with the patentability requirement for the grant of patent right and is applied legitimately.
