DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The features and exemplary embodiments of various aspects of the present invention will be described in detail below. In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only configured to explain the present invention and are not configured to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention can be implemented without the need for some of these specific details. The following description of the embodiments is only to provide a better understanding of the present invention by illustrating examples of the present invention.

[0019] The directional words appearing in the following description are all directions shown in the figures, and do not limit the specific structure of the present invention. In the description of the present invention, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0020] A concave-convex flange type high-pressure water electrolysis hydrogen production electrode frame includes a pole frame 1 and a bipolar plate 2. The bipolar plate 2 and the pole frame 1 are formed into an integrated structure through an injection molding process. During the injection molding process, the bipolar plate 2 is accurately embedded in the pole frame 1. This close fit not only improves the overall structural strength of the electrolysis unit, but also effectively prevents the leakage of gas or liquid that may be generated during the electrolysis process, thereby ensuring the safety and efficiency of the electrolysis reaction.

[0021] The outer edge of the front side of the pole frame 1 is provided with a boss 16, and the outer edge of the back side of the pole frame 1 is provided with a groove 217 adapted to the boss 16. When multiple pole frames 1 are stacked, the convex surface of the boss 16 and the concave surface of the groove 217 form a connection similar to a concave-convex flange. The design of the boss 16 and the groove 217 allows adjacent pole frames 1 to be easily aligned and fixed together, greatly simplifying the assembly process and improving work efficiency. The bite action of the convex surface and the concave surface increases the contact area of ​​the sealing surface, achieves a tighter sealing effect, and improves the high pressure resistance of the device.

[0022] The outer peripheral surface of the pole frame 1 is provided with a hydrogen interface 10 and an oxygen interface 11 for collecting and exporting electrolytic gas, and the inner peripheral surface of the pole frame 1 is provided with a hydrogen channel 16 and an oxygen channel 19 extending toward its outer peripheral surface, which are separated by the bipolar plate 2 to ensure that the electrolyzed hydrogen and oxygen will not mix. Two non-through isolation chambers 9 are provided on the front of the pole frame 1, and each isolation chamber 9 is filled with a breathable water-proof pad, one of which is connected to the hydrogen interface 10 and the hydrogen channel 16, and the other isolation chamber 9 is connected to the oxygen interface 11 and the oxygen channel 19. The design of the isolation chamber 9 is mainly to provide a physical barrier between gas and liquid. Filling the isolation chamber 9 with a breathable water-proof pad can effectively prevent the electrolyte from entering the gas channel while allowing the gas to pass smoothly. This design not only reduces the content of water vapor in the gas (especially when the electrolysis temperature is high), but also improves the purity and collection efficiency of the gas.

[0023] The front of the pole frame 1 is provided with a liquid inlet hole 3 and a liquid outlet hole 8 which are distributed vertically and in a through-type manner. The liquid inlet hole 3 is connected to the inner cavity of the pole frame 1 through a liquid inlet channel 4 provided on the front and back sides of the pole frame 1, and the liquid outlet hole 8 is connected to the inner cavity of the pole frame 1 through a liquid outlet channel 7 provided on the front and back sides of the pole frame 1. The vertical distribution of the liquid inlet hole 3 and the liquid outlet hole 8 helps to form a natural circulation of the electrolyte. When the electrolyte is injected from the liquid inlet hole 3, it will gradually fill the inner cavity of the pole frame 1. When the liquid level reaches the position of the liquid outlet hole 8, the electrolyte will overflow from the liquid outlet hole 8 to form a flow circulation of the electrolyte. This natural circulation helps the electrolyte to be evenly distributed inside the pole frame 1, improves the electrolysis efficiency, and also prevents the electrolyte from pouring into the gas channel.

[0024] The front side of the pole frame 1 is provided with multiple groups of guide posts 5, and the back side of the pole frame 1 is provided with guide grooves 18 corresponding to the guide posts 5 one by one. The cooperation between the guide posts 5 and the guide grooves 18 provides precise guiding and positioning functions for the assembly of the pole frame 1. During the assembly process, the guide posts 5 can easily slide into the corresponding guide grooves 18 to ensure the precise alignment between the pole frames 1. Since the liquid inlet holes 3 and the liquid outlet holes 8 of the adjacent pole frames 1 can be accurately aligned, the electrolyte will not be hindered during the flow process, which helps to ensure that the electrolyte can be evenly distributed in the inner cavity of each pole frame 1, thereby improving the electrolysis efficiency.

[0025] An electrolysis unit includes two end plates and a plurality of the above-mentioned concave-convex flange type high-pressure water electrolysis hydrogen production electrode frames, each of which is located between the two end plates and is aligned and stacked together along the axial direction. A diaphragm 30 is provided between adjacent concave-convex flange type high-pressure water electrolysis hydrogen production electrode frames and between each end plate and the concave-convex flange type high-pressure water electrolysis hydrogen production electrode frame, and the two end plates are tightened in the axial direction by a plurality of long rod bolts 22 to clamp each concave-convex flange type high-pressure water electrolysis hydrogen production electrode frame.

[0026] The two end plates are respectively an anode end plate and a cathode end plate. The anode end plate includes an anode frame 26, the inner cavity of the anode frame 26 is integrally molded with an anode plate 31, and the outer peripheral surface of the anode frame 26 is provided with an anode terminal 24 integrally connected to the anode plate 31. The cathode end plate includes a cathode frame 20, the inner cavity of the cathode frame 20 is integrally molded with a cathode plate 29, and the outer peripheral surface of the cathode frame 20 is provided with a cathode terminal 21 integrally connected to the cathode plate 29.

[0027] The front side of the anode frame 26 (the side facing the pole frame 1) is provided with a boss 2 32 adapted to the groove 2 17 and a guide column 2 35 adapted to the guide groove 1 18, and the anode frame 26 is provided with a liquid inlet interface 27 facing the liquid inlet hole 3 and a liquid outlet interface 23 facing the liquid outlet hole 8. The reverse side of the anode frame 26 is provided with an oxygen interface 25, and the inner peripheral surface of the anode frame 26 is provided with an oxygen channel 2 33 extending toward the outer peripheral surface thereof and connected to the oxygen interface 25. The liquid inlet interface 27 is connected to the inner cavity of the anode frame 26 through the liquid inlet channel 2 36 provided on the front side, and the liquid outlet interface 23 is connected to the inner cavity of the anode frame 26 through the liquid outlet channel 2 34 provided on the front side.

[0028] The front side of the cathode frame 20 (the side facing the pole frame 1) is provided with a groove 439 adapted to the boss 6 and a guide groove 42 adapted to the guide column 5, the back side of the cathode frame 20 is provided with a hydrogen interface 28, and the inner peripheral surface of the cathode frame 20 is provided with a hydrogen channel 44 extending toward its outer peripheral surface and connected to the hydrogen interface 28. The cathode frame 20 is provided with a liquid inlet 46 facing the liquid inlet hole 3 and a liquid outlet 45 facing the liquid outlet hole 8. The liquid inlet 46 is connected to the inner cavity of the cathode frame 20 through the liquid inlet channel 3 41 provided on the front side, and the liquid outlet 45 is connected to the inner cavity of the cathode frame 20 through the liquid outlet channel 3 38 provided on the front side. Both the liquid inlet 46 and the liquid outlet 45 are non-through type.

[0029] The cathode frame 20, the anode frame 26 and the pole frame 1 are all made of EPDM rubber. The corrosion resistance, aging resistance, elasticity and electrical insulation of EPDM rubber make them an ideal material choice, ensuring the stability and reliability of the electrolytic unit during long-term operation, ensuring the safety of current transmission during the electrolysis process, and preventing safety problems such as short circuit and electric shock. A threaded hole 12 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the pole frame 1, and a detection column 14 integrally connected to the bipolar plate 2 is provided in the threaded hole 12, and a protective cap 13 covering the detection column 14 is connected to the threaded hole 12. Since the pole frame 1 itself is not charged, in order to detect the voltage value, the detection column 14 can be used to manually measure the voltage value of the inner cavity of the pole frame 1 with a voltmeter.

[0030] The diaphragm 30 can effectively prevent the mixing of hydrogen and oxygen, while allowing the ions in the electrolyte to pass freely, thereby ensuring the continuous progress of the water electrolysis reaction. The outer edge of the diaphragm 30 is provided with an integrally injected rubber ring 43, the inner edges of the front and back sides of the pole frame 1 are provided with a groove 15 adapted to the rubber ring 43, the inner edge of the front side of the anode frame 26 is provided with a groove 37 adapted to the rubber ring 43, and the inner edge of the front side of the cathode frame 20 is provided with a groove 5 40 adapted to the rubber ring 43. These grooves are specially designed to adapt to the rubber ring 43, which can ensure that the rubber ring 43 can be tightly embedded in the groove, thereby achieving effective sealing between the pole frame 1 and other components.

[0031] In order to improve the sealing performance, a plurality of raised sealing lines are arranged on the boss surfaces of the boss 1 6 and the boss 2 32 , so as to form a close contact with the corresponding surface of the adjacent pole frame 1 , thereby preventing leakage of fluid or gas.

[0032] The electrolytic unit of the present invention is provided with four layers of sealing protection to achieve its high pressure resistance performance.

[0033] The first layer of sealing protection is the rubber ring seal. The rubber ring 43 on the outer edge of the diaphragm 30 can fit tightly with the groove 15, the groove 37 or the groove 5 40, which can effectively prevent the leakage of the electrolyte and provide the first protection for the internal environment of the electrolytic unit.

[0034] The second layer of sealing protection is a plane seal (such as the plane between the boss 6 and the groove 15). When the pole frame 1 is pressed, the planes between them will fit tightly, using the elastic deformation characteristics unique to the rubber material to form an effective sealing barrier. This plane sealing method is simple and direct, and can effectively prevent the leakage of the electrolyte, providing a second layer of protection for the internal environment of the electrolytic unit.

[0035] The third layer of sealing protection is a sealing line, which not only enhances the sealing effect between the contact surfaces, but also further improves the reliability and stability of the seal through line sealing.

[0036] The fourth layer of sealing protection utilizes the clever design of the boss structure. The edge of the pole frame 1 is carefully crafted into a boss shape (boss-6), forming a connection similar to a concave-convex flange with the concave surface (groove-15) of the adjacent pole frame 1. This design not only increases the contact area of ​​the sealing surface, but also achieves a tighter sealing effect through the bite action of the convex surface and the concave surface. The design of boss-6 also cleverly limits the deformation of the sealing line when it is squeezed, preventing it from exceeding the edge line, thereby further enhancing the reliability and durability of the seal.

[0037] Combining the above four-layer sealing design, the electrolysis unit of the present invention exhibits excellent sealing performance and pressure resistance. Its sealing performance has been greatly improved and can withstand a pressure of up to 10MPa, providing a solid guarantee for the efficient, safe and reliable operation of the water electrolysis hydrogen production process.

[0038] The hydrogen generated during the electrolysis process enters the hydrogen branch pipe through the hydrogen interface 10 and the hydrogen interface 28 respectively, and finally collects in the hydrogen main pipe. The oxygen generated during the electrolysis process enters the oxygen branch pipe through the oxygen interface 11 and the oxygen interface 25 respectively, and finally collects in the oxygen main pipe. The electrolyte storage tank heats the electrolyte, and then pumps it to the inside of the electrolysis unit through the electrolyte input pipe, and the overflowing electrolyte is pumped to the electrolyte storage tank. In this way, the electrolyte circulates between the electrolysis unit and the electrolyte storage tank, speeding up the material transfer speed between the electrode surface and the electrolyte, so that the reactants reach the electrode surface in time, and the products leave the electrode surface in time, thereby maintaining the high activity of the electrode surface and improving the electrolysis efficiency. The circulation of the electrolyte can also reduce the concentration polarization phenomenon caused by the concentration gradient in the electrolysis unit, making the electrolysis reaction more sufficient and uniform. The circulation of the electrolyte can also take away the heat generated during electrolysis, which helps to reduce the temperature in the electrolysis unit and reduce the safety hazards caused by high temperature.

[0039] Humidity sensors are installed on the oxygen and hydrogen main pipes. If the humidity is high, it means that the water content of the gas is high. At this time, it is necessary to reduce the heating temperature of the electrolyte storage tank to reduce the evaporation of water, and increase the amount of electrolyte input to increase the concentration of the electrolyte. If the humidity is lower than the set value, the heating temperature of the electrolyte storage tank will increase, increase the evaporation of water, and increase the amount of pure water input to reduce the concentration of the electrolyte and avoid excessive reaction.

[0040] According to the embodiments of the present invention as described above, these embodiments do not describe all the details in detail, nor do they limit the invention to specific embodiments. Obviously, many modifications and changes can be made based on the above description. This specification selects and specifically describes these embodiments in order to better explain the principles and practical applications of the present invention, so that those skilled in the art can make good use of the present invention and the modified use based on the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
