Energy storage assembly and energy storage element thereof

Abstract

An energy storage element of an energy storage assembly includes a cylindrical body and a channel formed in an axial direction in an internal thereof; wherein the cylindrical body includes an energy storage material. With the energy storage element having a cylindrical body, the shape of the energy storage element is of the merit of low hydraulic resistance, which allows air flow to pass through the energy storage element(s) smoothly at great speed.

         4 . The energy storage element according to  claim 1 , wherein an outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical body includes a pair of through holes formed thereon and arranged opposite to each other. 
     
     
         5 . The energy storage element according to  claim 1 , wherein the cylindrical body comprises a cylindrical housing provided for the energy storage material to be filled in an internal thereof. 
     
     
         6 . The energy storage element according to  claim 1 , wherein the cylindrical body is constructed by a plurality of curved blocks arranged in a circumference and attached to each other. 
     
     
         7 . The energy storage element according to  claim 6 , wherein the channel has a circular cross section. 
     
     
         8 . The energy storage element according to  claim 6 , wherein an outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical body includes at least one ring slot formed to circumference thereon. 
     
     
         9 . The energy storage element according to  claim 6 , wherein an outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical body includes a pair of through holes formed thereon and arranged opposite to each other. 
     
     
         10 . The energy storage element according to  claim 6 , wherein each one of the curved blocks includes at least one protrusion formed on one side thereof and at least one groove formed on another side thereof; the at least one protrusion of each one of the curved blocks is inserted into the at least one groove of each one of the curved blocks correspondingly. 
     
     
         11 . The energy storage element according to  claim 6 , wherein each one of the curved blocks comprises a curved housing provided for the energy storage material to be filled in an internal thereof. 
     
     
         12 . An energy storage assembly, comprising: 
       a fixation member; and
 at least one energy storage element comprising a cylindrical body having a channel formed in an axial direction in an internal thereof; wherein the cylindrical body comprises an energy storage material, and the at least one energy storage element is detachably attached to the fixation member. 
 
     
     
         13 . The energy storage assembly according to  claim 12 , wherein the channel has a circular cross section. 
     
     
         14 . The energy storage assembly according to  claim 12 , wherein an outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical body includes at least one ring slot formed to circumference thereon; the fixation member is a dangling cable, and the dangling cable is engaged with the ring slot correspondingly in order to position the cylindrical body on the dangling cable. 
     
     
         15 . The energy storage assembly according to  claim 12 , wherein an outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical body includes a pair of through holes formed thereon and arranged opposite to each other, and the fixation member is a dangling shaft or a dangling cable; the fixation member penetrates through the through holes correspondingly in order to mount the cylinder body onto the fixation member. 
     
     
         16 . The energy storage assembly according to  claim 12 , wherein the cylindrical body comprises a cylindrical housing provided for the energy storage material to be filled in an internal thereof. 
     
     
         17 . The energy storage assembly according to  claim 12 , wherein the cylindrical body is constructed by a plurality of curved blocks arranged in a circumference and attached to each other. 
     
     
         18 . The energy storage assembly according to  claim 17 , wherein each one of the curved blocks includes at least one protrusion formed on one side thereof and at least one groove formed on another side thereof; the at least one protrusion of each one of the curved blocks is inserted into the at least one groove of each one of the curved blocks correspondingly. 
     
     
         19 . The energy storage assembly according to  claim 17 , wherein each one of the curved blocks comprises a curved housing provided for the energy storage material to be filled in an internal thereof. 
     
     
         20 . The energy storage assembly according to  claim 12 , wherein there a plurality of fixation members and a plurality of energy storage elements such that the plurality of fixation members are aligned parallel with each other and the plurality of energy storage elements are arranged to connect in a series by the plurality of fixation members in order to allow the plurality of energy storage elements to stack onto one another and to align in parallel; wherein four of the energy storage elements are connected adjacent to each other to form an air flow channel.
