Although it is not a device in the power generation field, there is a water supply device (Reference 2: JP, 09-25664425) that uses a Peltier element to obtain a heat source by supplying electric power.

これら水素吸蔵合金を加熱 ·冷却する手段として、 文献 1は、 気体の熱媒体に 適する水素吸蔵合金粉末を詰めたユニットの機構が提案され、 文献 2では、 水素 吸蔵合金粉末に銅めつきを施し圧縮固形化したものを用いているが、 双方ともに 液体の熱媒体による水素吸蔵合金の加熱 ·冷却を早くできる水素吸蔵合金の装着 方法およびュニットの機構、 ベローズやタービンを用いない液面ビストンによる ポンプ機構、 吸蔵'放出のストローク時間の短縮機構、 水素吸蔵合金ユニット間 の水素解離圧の差圧による水素移送おょぴ冷 ·温熱発生の機構、 低温熱源を昇温 させて用いる昇温機構、 などの技術提案がない。  As a means for heating and cooling these hydrogen storage alloys, Reference 1 proposes a mechanism of a unit packed with hydrogen storage alloy powder suitable for a gaseous heat medium.Reference 2 proposes copper plating on the hydrogen storage alloy powder.

In the case where the hydrogen storage / release means of the storage alloy unit is applied to thermoelectric conversion formed by a thermoelectric conversion module and a temperature reduction module, the working liquid pump including the hydrogen storage / release means, a check valve, a cylinder, and a liquid piston Means, electronic control means for electronically controlling the switching valve of the circulating heat medium by providing a plurality of structures of the hydrogen storage / discharge means and working liquid pump means, and a pressure control valve and a reserve tank in the working fluid circulation path. A thermoelectric conversion module comprising: a hydrogenation reaction time shortening means; and a power generation means for converting electricity from the fluidity of the working liquid. The hydrogen storage alloy unit of the storage and release means is provided relatively, and hydrogen is reciprocated between the hydrogen storage alloy unit by the pump pressure or the differential pressure of the hydrogen dissociation pressure by using the exhaust heat of the thermoelectric conversion module and the external heat as a heat source, and the thermoelectric conversion is performed. Temperature reduction means for increasing and reducing the temperature of the exhaust heat of the conversion module, a circulation system for the generated heat receiving medium, and electronic control means for electronically controlling a switching valve of the circulation system for the generated heat receiving medium. When a module is configured and the hydrogen storage / release means is applied to cooling / heating / refrigeration, a hydrogen storage alloy unit of the hydrogen storage / release means is provided relative to the hydrogen storage / release means, and the external storage heat is used as a heat source for the hydrogen storage alloy unit. Heat and heat generating means for generating cold and hot heat by reciprocating hydrogen by pump pressure or the differential pressure of hydrogen dissociation pressure between heat sinks, a circulating system of generated heat receiving medium including heat exchanger, Receipt Electronic control means for the circulation changeover valve body is electronically controlled, air conditioning in city- Construct a refrigeration heat source module.

このように構成したことで、 水素吸蔵合金ユニット内においては、 水素吸蔵合 金の薄膜ゴム化により水素吸蔵合金の微紛の飛散防止をして、 水素吸蔵合金が薄 膜状から熱伝播が早くなることで水素吸蔵合金の水素化および放出の反応時間が 速くなる。  With this configuration, in the hydrogen storage alloy unit, the hydrogen storage alloy is turned into a thin film rubber to prevent the fine particles of the hydrogen storage alloy from scattering, so that the heat absorption of the hydrogen storage alloy from the thin film is faster. As a result, the reaction time for hydrogenation and release of the hydrogen storage alloy is shortened.

また、 水素吸蔵合金ュニットを熟電変換の熱電変換モジュールに適用する場合 においては、加熱媒体が水素吸蔵合金ュニット内の水素吸蔵合金を加熱すると、水 素放出反応からの水素気体圧でシリンダー内の液体ビストンの液面を押すことで、 作動液体が固体ビストンを用いることなく逆止弁にもより一方向に循環でき、 同 時に作動液体の循環路に設けるリザーブタンク内には、 シリンダー内から押し出 され余剰する作動液体が流入してリザープタンク内部の気体が圧縮されることで、 作動媒体の循環路全体が加圧される。  In addition, when the hydrogen storage alloy unit is applied to a thermoelectric conversion module for ripening conversion, when the heating medium heats the hydrogen storage alloy in the hydrogen storage alloy unit, the hydrogen gas pressure from the hydrogen release reaction causes the gas in the cylinder to change. By pushing the liquid surface of the liquid biston, the working liquid can be circulated in one direction to the check valve without using the solid biston, and at the same time, it is pushed from the cylinder inside the reserve tank provided in the circulation path of the working liquid. The excess working liquid that has been discharged flows in and the gas inside the reservoir tank is compressed, so that the entire working medium circulation path is pressurized.

一方、 冷却媒体に切替えて水素吸蔵合金ュニット内の水素吸蔵合金を冷却する と水素吸蔵合金の水素化反応が開始され、 作動液体の循環路の加圧により水素化 反応時間が常圧に比べ速い速度でシリンダー内の水素気体を吸蔵し、 同時に発熱 した発生熱を冷却媒体が受領することができ、 シリンダー内が作動液体の循環路 の圧力より低圧になると作動液体の循環路の圧力で作動液体がシリンダー內へ逆 止弁にもより一方向に循環流入する。  On the other hand, when the cooling medium is switched to cool the hydrogen storage alloy in the hydrogen storage alloy unit, the hydrogenation reaction of the hydrogen storage alloy starts, and the hydrogenation reaction time is faster than normal pressure by pressurizing the working fluid circulation path. The cooling medium can absorb the hydrogen gas in the cylinder at the same speed and receive the generated heat at the same time.If the pressure in the cylinder becomes lower than the pressure in the working liquid circulation path, the working liquid Circulates into the cylinder 內 in one direction through the check valve.

この一連サイクルの連続から作動液体の循環路の流動力により、 発電機と連動 する回転系を回転させて発電機が発電を行う。  From the continuation of this series of cycles, the generator generates power by rotating the rotating system linked to the generator by the flow force of the working liquid in the circulation path.

また、 水素吸蔵合金ュュットを熱電変換の温度還元モジュールに適用する場合 においては、熱電変換モジュ一ルの排熱およぴ外部熱を熱源に、水素吸蔵合金ュニ ット間をポンプ圧または水素解離圧の差圧により水素を往復移送することで熱電 変換モジュール排熱の温度を上昇還元して熱電変換モジュールへ再度供給をする。 また、 水素吸蔵合金ユエットを冷暖房 ·冷凍の熱源モジュールに適用する場合 においては、 外部熱を熱源に、 水素吸蔵合金ュニット間をポンプ圧または水素解 離圧の差圧により水素を往復移送することで冷 ·温熱を発生し、 発生熱受領媒体 によって集熱され熱交換器を介して冷熱およぴ温熱が利用される。 図面の簡単な説明 When the hydrogen storage alloy unit is applied to a thermoelectric conversion temperature reduction module, pump pressure or hydrogen is applied between the hydrogen storage unit unit using the exhaust heat and external heat of the thermoelectric conversion module as a heat source. The hydrogen is reciprocated by the dissociation pressure difference to raise and reduce the temperature of the waste heat of the thermoelectric conversion module and supply it to the thermoelectric conversion module again. When the hydrogen storage alloy unit is applied to a heating / cooling / refrigeration heat source module, hydrogen is reciprocated between the hydrogen storage alloy units using a pump pressure or a differential pressure of hydrogen dissociation pressure using external heat as a heat source. Cold and hot heat is generated, and the heat is collected by the generated heat receiving medium, and the cold and warm heat are used via a heat exchanger. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES

A thin hydrogen flow groove 94 is provided at the center of the groove surface so that hydrogen can flow, and rubberization is performed.

水素吸蔵放出手段では、 このように、 水素吸蔵合金が薄膜なゴム化で用いられ るため、 水素吸蔵合金が微紛ィ匕しても飛散が防止でき、 熱伝播が早いため水素化 反応と水素放出反応とのストローク時間を短縮することができることで、 使用さ れる水素吸蔵合金量を最少にすることができる。  As described above, in the hydrogen storage / release means, the hydrogen storage alloy is used for thinning the rubber into a thin film, so that even if the hydrogen storage alloy is finely scattered, it can be prevented from scattering. Since the stroke time for the release reaction can be shortened, the amount of the hydrogen storage alloy used can be minimized.

第 1図、 第 4図、 第 5図の実施例によって説明すると、 水素吸蔵合金ユニット の内部にプレートカセットの積層体 1 5を用いる場合では、 長方形の中央の平面 部 4内に水素ホール 5を開けて、 縦方向中央に水素誘導溝 1 1と、 水素誘導溝 1 1に対し 4 5度方向に直線な溝をプレート全面に複数列を平行に設けた波形溝 6 を、 長辺側の両端面を折り曲げた平面な側面部 1 0を、 短辺側の両端面に波形部 7、 8をそれぞれ形成できるようにした金型を用いて、 プレス加工により金属の プレート 2、 3を製造する。  Explaining with reference to the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1, 4, and 5, when the laminated body 15 of the plate cassette is used inside the hydrogen storage alloy unit, the hydrogen hole 5 is formed in the plane part 4 at the center of the rectangle.

Metal plates 2 and 3 are manufactured by press working using a mold in which a flat side surface portion 10 whose surface is bent and corrugated portions 7 and 8 are formed on both end surfaces on the short side, respectively.

次いで、 プレート 2とプレート 3の間にロー付の薄膜材を挟み真空炉内で高温 処理により平面部 4の面と面、 波形溝 6の山と谷、 側面部 1 0の面と面、 波形部 7、 8の山と谷がそれぞれ接合する部分がロー付けされプレートカセットが製造 される。  Next, a thin film material with brazing is sandwiched between plates 2 and 3, and the surface and surface of the flat portion 4, the peaks and valleys of the corrugated grooves 6, the surfaces and surfaces of the side portions 10 and the waveform The parts where the peaks and valleys of parts 7 and 8 join respectively are brazed to manufacture a plate cassette.

その後、 プレートカセットの両面に水素吸蔵合金の薄膜なゴム化が施され、 必 要数を積層し、 プレートカセットを密着接合させて接合する外周の先端部をレザ 一、溶接でゴム化した水素吸蔵合金部を密封にしてプレートカセット積層体 1 5が 製造される。 .  After that, both sides of the plate cassette are rubberized as a thin film of hydrogen storage alloy, the required number of layers are laminated, and the plate cassettes are tightly joined and the outer end is bonded with a laser.
