Inside the tank there is a multi-threaded spiral insert with the formation of separate channels. Adjacent channels are provided at the top of the insert with an overflow branch pipe. Each channel is provided with a branch pipe for tapping hot water. EFFECT: increased efficiency of the solar water heater by reducing the time of water heating up to a set temperature. 2 dwg РОССИЙСКАЯ ФЕДЕРАЦИЯ (19) RU (11) (13) 2 624 936 C1 (51) МПК F24J 2/34 (2006.01) ФЕДЕРАЛЬНАЯ СЛУЖБА ПО ИНТЕЛЛЕКТУАЛЬНОЙ СОБСТВЕННОСТИ (12) ФОРМУЛА (21)(22) Заявка: ИЗОБРЕТЕНИЯ К ПАТЕНТУ РОССИЙСКОЙ ФЕДЕРАЦИИ 2016122434, 06.06.2016 (24) Дата начала отсчета срока действия патента: 06.06.2016 Дата регистрации: (72) Автор(ы): Харитонов Евгений Александрович (RU), Анаников Сергей Ваганович (RU), Понкратова Светлана Алексеевна (RU) Приоритет(ы): (22) Дата подачи заявки: 06.06.2016 (45) Опубликовано: 11.07.2017 Бюл. № 20 (56) Список документов, цитированных в отчете о поиске: RU 2555611 C1, 10.07.2015.

Mother Glass And Fabricating Method of Organic Electro Luminescence Device Using The Same

본 발명은 비용을 절감할 수 있는 모 기판 및 이를 이용한 유기 전계발광표시소자의 제조방법에 관한 것이다. The present invention relates to a mother substrate and a method of manufacturing an organic electroluminescent display device using the same which can reduce the cost. 본 발명의 모 기판은 유기전계발광어레이 사이에 위치하고 상기 유기전계발광어레이를 구동하기 위한 구동전압이 인가되는 도전성 얼라인마크와; 상기 도전성 얼라인마크 및 상기 전극과 전기적으로 접속 가능하도록 상기 유기전계발광어레이 사이에 형성되어 에이징공정시 상기 유기전계발광어레이의 전극에 상기 구동전압을 전달하는 쇼트바를 구비하는 것을 특징으로 한다. The mother substrate of the present invention includes a conductive alignment mark disposed between the organic light emitting array and to which a driving voltage for driving the organic light emitting array is applied; And a short bar formed between the conductive alignment mark and the organic light emitting array so as to be electrically connected to the electrode and transferring the driving voltage to the electrode of the organic light emitting array during an aging process.

A kind of phase-change thermal storage solar water heater with overheating preventing structure

本发明提供了一种具有防过热结构的相变储热太阳能热水器，包括进水管、出水管、相变储热太阳能热水器本体和散热体，相变储热太阳能热水器本体内设有绝热包层和若干个并列的真空管，相变储热材料位于真空管内，散热体包含导热棒和散热片，其特征在于，若干个并列的真空管分别包覆了热致散射层，当相变储热材料的温度高于热致散射层的透光变化阈值温度时，热致散射层由透光变为散射，阻止太阳光辐射到达真空管，并将太阳光辐射散射至导热棒表面，太阳光辐射被导热棒吸收转化为热量后传递至散热体的散热片进行散热，从而阻止相变储热材料的温度升高，实现对相变储热太阳能热水器的过热保护。

Rigid foam device and manufacturing method

Salt gradient solar cell power generation device

一种盐梯度太阳池发电装置，该装置包括太阳池、补水机构、发电机构和补盐机构，本装置可通过对发电机构分离出来的浓盐水重新配置成盐溶液以供太阳池下对流层使用，避免了盐水的浪费，还可将水蒸气冷却后重新注入太阳池上对流层，避免了淡水的浪费。本发明将盐梯度太阳池与发电机构结合在一起，利用了太阳池可以储能蓄热的特点，将其热能转化为电能用于其他方面，从而提升了太阳能的利用率；同时，太阳能资源丰富，不会枯竭，而且安全、干净，并且太阳池能够储能蓄热，造价低廉，可操作性强，具有非常理想的应用前景。

Heat-storage-tank-free phase-change heat storage solar water heater

本发明是以相变材料为蓄热介质的太阳能热水器，解决的是现有的相变蓄热太阳能热水器成本高，导热效率低的问题。包括全玻璃太阳能真空集热管、联箱、支架，联箱上设置有进水口和出水口，此外还设置有相变材料充注口；在全玻璃太阳能真空集热管内装有相变材料；翅片管换热器设置在全玻璃太阳能真空集热管内，翅片管换热器几乎充满整个真空管并与真空管的内壁紧密接触；在真空管的上部留有少许相变材料的膨胀空间。本发明由于利用相变材料为蓄热介质，其蓄热能力是水的几倍或者更高，可以存储更多的热量的特点。由于取消了蓄热箱，直接将相变材料装在真空管内，从而大大降低成本。全玻璃太阳能真空集热管直接将转化的热能传给蓄热介质，热效率高；真空管不承压而热水仍然以承压方式出水。
