Description
Technical Field

[0002] The information disclosed in the background of the invention is only intended to enhance the understanding of the overall background of the invention and should not be necessarily regarded as an acknowledgment or any form of suggestion that the information constitutes the prior art already known to a person skilled in the art.
[0003] Hydrogen energy is a new type of clean energy, and the safe storage and transportation of hydrogen energy is a key technology for the development of hydrogen energy. Type IV hydrogen storage cylinders require a hydrogen storage pressure of 70MPa and a hydrogen storage density greater than 5%. To meet this requirement, the liner must be made of plastic, which is relatively light and more suitable for passenger car applications. Currently, Type IV hydrogen storage cylinders have become a research hotspot around the world.
[0004] At present, during the operation of Type IV hydrogen storage cylinders, gas leakage easily occurs at the connection between the plastic liner and the valve seat of the cylinder mouth, which is also the main failure mode of the engineering application of the hydrogen storage cylinder, resulting in reduced safety and reliability of Type IV cylinders. Due to the need for strength and rigidity, the liner of the hydrogen storage cylinder must be designed with metal materials for the mouth. Due to the difference in thermal expansion performance between the metal mouth and the plastic liner, the joint sealing problem is also a key technical issue for the overall reliability of the cylinder.
[0005] The mouth of the current IV-type hydrogen storage bottle mainly adopts the BOSS structure to prevent leakage, and uses seals (such as rubber rings, O-rings, etc.) for sealing. For example, patent CN116293434A (publication date: 2023.06.23) discloses a BOSS structure bottle mouth sealing structure for IV-type hydrogen storage cylinders. The axial inner and outer surfaces of the end cap and the inner and outer surfaces of the BOSS structure are arranged with threaded designs to achieve a fastening connection between the end cap, BOSS structure, bottle mouth valve and external tube sheet and other metal connectors.

The aluminum alloy locking device 2 is located outside the vertical section of the aluminum alloy valve seat 1. The upper part of the aluminum alloy locking device 2 is fastened to the upper part of the vertical section of the aluminum alloy valve seat 1 by using threads 13.
[0041] The mouth section of the plastic liner 3 is located between the aluminum alloy valve seat 1 and the aluminum alloy locking device 2, and the bottle shoulder and mouth section of the plastic liner 3 are filled and combined with the aluminum alloy valve seat 1 through the first limiting groove 6, the second limiting groove 7 and the third limiting groove 11.

[0044] Example 2
[0045] This embodiment provides a sealing method for the sealing structure of the mouth of a type IV hydrogen storage gas bottle based on embodiment 1. The specific parameters of the sealing structure are:
[0046] The cross-sectional rectangular depth of the first limiting groove 6, the second limiting groove 7 and the third limiting groove 11 is 2 cm, the groove width is 1 cm, and the inner surface is roughened to arrange rough micropores with a diameter of 2 microns. The arc groove cross-section of the first continuous sealing groove 4 and the second continuous sealing groove 9 is an arc with a central angle of 150° and a radius of 0.5 cm (the groove width is 0.97 cm). The cross-section of the first overflow sealing groove 5, the second overflow sealing groove 8 and the third overflow sealing groove 10 is an arc with a central angle of 270° and a radius of 0.5 cm (the groove width is 0.71 cm), and the bulk density of the carbon fiber felt strip 12 is 0.05 g / cm 3 .

[0048] Fill the first overflow seal groove 5, the second overflow seal groove 8 and the third overflow seal groove 10 of the aluminum alloy valve seat 1 with carbon fiber felt strips 12, and apply 1mm high temperature resistant modified vinyl silicone rubber at the contact position between the outer surface of the aluminum alloy valve seat 1 and the plastic liner 3, and apply high temperature resistant sealant in the first overflow seal groove 5, the second overflow seal groove 8, the third overflow seal groove 10, the first continuous seal groove 4 and the second continuous seal groove 9 of the aluminum alloy valve seat 1. The coating adopts a preheating process of brushing in batches, first brushing a layer of colloid, then preheating it at 100℃ to change it from a flowing colloid to a semi-gel state with relatively low fluidity, and then brushing it again, and repeating this 3 times. The heat-resistant temperature of the modified vinyl silicone rubber is in the range of 150-350℃, its tensile strength is in the range of 5-9.5MPa, its elongation at break is in the range of 500-1000%, and its tear strength is in the range of 25-50kN / m.
[0049] The plastic liner 3 is prepared by injection molding, and a carbon fiber composite material protective layer 15 and a mixed fiber protective layer 14 are sequentially wound on the outer surface of the shoulder of the bottle body and the vertical section of the bottle body of the plastic liner 3. The carbon fiber composite material protective layer 15 adopts T800 high-strength carbon fiber, and the resin is epoxy resin; the mixed fiber protective layer 14 adopts M55 high modulus carbon fiber and high-tenacity aramid fiber mixed in a ratio of 2:1.
[0050] During the process of tightening the aluminum alloy locking device 2 and the aluminum alloy valve seat 1 through the thread 13, the gel-modified vinyl silicone rubber in the first continuous sealing groove 4 and the second continuous sealing groove 9 overflows and is stored in the carbon fiber felt strips 12 in the first overflow sealing groove 5, the second overflow sealing groove 8 and the third overflow sealing groove 10 under the preload force of the entire system, and the sealing is achieved through the tightening action of the metal thread 13 between the aluminum alloy locking device 2 and the aluminum alloy valve seat 1, the bonding action of the sealant and the sealing action of the carbon fiber felt strips 12. Finally, the simultaneous heating and curing molding of multiple components is completed by heating, and the pre-coated high-temperature sealing layer colloid is simultaneously cured and the interface is synchronously sealed during the molding process.

[0052] The difference from Example 2 is that the cross-sectional rectangular depth of the first limiting groove 6, the second limiting groove 7 and the third limiting groove 11 is 4 cm, and the slot width is 1 cm.

[0053] The rest is the same as Example 2.
[0054] Example 4
[0055] The difference from Example 2 is that the carbon fiber composite material protective layer 15 uses T1000 high-strength carbon fiber, and the mixed fiber protective layer 14 uses M60J high modulus carbon fiber and high-tenacity UHMWPE fiber (ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber) mixed at a ratio of 5:1. 0.5 mm high-temperature resistant modified vinyl silicone rubber is coated on the contact position between the outer surface of the aluminum alloy valve seat 1 and the plastic liner 3.
[0056] The rest is the same as Example 2.
[0057] Example 5
[0058] The difference from Example 2 is that the bulk density of the carbon fiber felt strip 12 is 0.2 g / cm 3 The carbon fiber composite material protective layer 15 uses T300 high-strength carbon fiber, and the mixed fiber protective layer 14 uses M40J high modulus carbon fiber and high-toughness aramid fiber mixed at a ratio of 8:1. 0.5 mm high-temperature resistant modified vinyl silicone rubber is coated on the contact position between the outer surface of the aluminum alloy valve seat 1 and the plastic liner 3.
