Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of high-pressure hydrogen environment fatigue testing, and in particular to a test method for a high-pressure hydrogen environment box and balanced pressure to reduce friction. Background Art

[0002] The green hydrogen energy industry is booming, and the closely related hydrogen embrittlement problem needs to be overcome urgently. Hydrogen embrittlement refers to the phenomenon that hydrogen enters metal materials and interacts with the material's microstructure, causing serious degradation of the material's mechanical properties and causing brittle fracture during service. It has the characteristics of multi-scale, interdisciplinary, and wide coverage, and is a complex materials science problem. Relevant engineering scenarios include the damage of hydrogen pipelines and metal hydrogen storage tanks. Among the four major links of hydrogen energy production, storage, transportation, and use, storage and transportation are the bridge connecting the hydrogen production end and the application end, and are the key to the development of the hydrogen energy industry chain. The construction of pure hydrogen pipelines and the blending of hydrogen into natural gas pipelines are currently the safest methods of transporting hydrogen in my country, but hydrogen will accelerate crack growth. The problems of hydrogen embrittlement and hydrogen-assisted cracking cannot be ignored.

[0003] Currently, the maximum pressure for pure hydrogen pipelines is 6.3 MPa, while for hydrogen-blended pipelines, the maximum pressure reaches 12 MPa. Adding an environmental chamber to an existing fatigue testing machine can simulate actual operating conditions, but this inevitably raises the issue of sealing the extensometer and the upper and lower piston rods. Using only a sealing ring between the environmental chamber and the piston rod is prone to leakage. Using multiple sealing rings can lead to internal and external pressure differentials, increasing friction and affecting test data. Summary of the Invention

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] See also Figure 1-3 As shown, this embodiment discloses a high-pressure hydrogen environment box, including a test box body and an air chamber; the test box body has a sealed cavity 101 inside; the air chamber is arranged on the test box body to form an upper air chamber 102 and a lower air chamber 103, the upper air chamber 102 and the lower air chamber 103 are connected to the sealed cavity 101 inside, an upper piston rod 104 is fixedly installed inside the upper air chamber 102, and a lower piston rod 105 is slidably arranged inside the lower air chamber 103, the upper piston rod 104 and the lower piston rod 105 are respectively sealed with the upper air chamber 102 and the lower air chamber 103 through a sealing structure, and the upper piston rod 104 and the lower piston rod 105 are used to install a test piece 113 and an extensometer 106; The sealing structure includes a first sealing assembly 107 and a second sealing assembly 108 arranged on the air chamber, and a third sealing assembly 109 arranged on the upper piston rod 104 and the lower piston rod 105. The first sealing assembly 107, the second sealing assembly 108 and the third sealing assembly 109 are used to seal the air chamber.

[0023] The present invention mainly includes a test chamber body and an air chamber; in actual use, the staff installs the first sealing assembly 107 and the second sealing assembly 108 in the air chamber, and then installs the third sealing assembly 109 on the upper piston rod 104 and the lower piston rod 105, and then installs the upper piston rod 104 and the lower piston rod 105 in the air chamber and fixes the upper piston rod 104, and then installs the test piece 113 between the upper piston rod 104 and the lower piston rod 105, and then performs a vacuum operation in the sealed chamber 101 to form a vacuum environment inside the sealed chamber 101, and then fills the sealed chamber 101 with high-purity nitrogen, repeats the vacuuming and filling with high-purity nitrogen several times, so that the sealed chamber 101 is filled with air, high-purity nitrogen and high-purity hydrogen, and then controls the lower piston rod 10 5 slides inside the air cavity, and when pushed by the lower piston rod 105, the test piece 113 is pressurized, and the readings of the extensometer 106 are continuously recorded, thereby simulating the stress state of the test piece 113 material under actual working conditions.

[0024] In some embodiments, the test chamber body includes a kettle body 110 and a kettle cover 111 . The kettle body 110 and the kettle cover 111 are detachably sealed and connected to each other, and an air chamber is provided through the kettle body 110 .

[0025] In actual use, an O-shaped groove is provided on the upper end surface of the kettle body 110, and an O-shaped sealing gasket is provided inside the O-shaped groove.

The nuts are pre-tightened to make the kettle cover 111 fit the kettle body 110. The O-shaped sealing gasket inside the O-shaped groove seals the kettle body 110 and the kettle cover 111, thereby improving the sealing performance inside the sealed cavity 101.

[0026] As an optional embodiment, in this embodiment, the first sealing combination 107, the second sealing combination 108 and the third sealing combination 109 all include several PTFE / NBR composite sealing rings. The several PTFE / NBR composite sealing rings in the first sealing combination 107 are arranged on the inner wall of the air chamber close to the outer wall of the kettle body 110, the several PTFE / NBR composite sealing rings in the second sealing combination 108 are arranged on the inner wall of the air chamber close to the inner wall of the kettle body 110, and the several PTFE / NBR composite sealing rings in the third sealing combination 109 are arranged on the upper piston rod 104 and the lower piston rod 105. When the lower piston rod 105 slides in the air chamber, the several PTFE / NBR composite sealing rings can balance the pressure so that the air pressure between the upper air chamber 102 and the lower air chamber 103 is the same.

[0027] In some embodiments, the ends of the upper piston rod 104 and the lower piston rod 105 are detachably provided with a clamp 112 . The clamp 112 is used to install the test piece 113 , and the extensometer 106 is used to be installed on the clamp 112 .

[0029] In some embodiments, an adapter 114 is provided at the bottom of the kettle body 110, and the extensometer 106 is used to connect to the power supply outside the kettle body 110 through the adapter 114; the purpose of this setting is to facilitate the connection of the extensometer 106 with the external power supply while ensuring the sealing of the inside of the sealed cavity 101.

[0030] In some embodiments, the kettle body 110 is provided with an air inlet 115 and an exhaust port 116 . The air inlet 115 is used to fill the sealed cavity 101 with test gas, and the exhaust port 116 is used to exhaust the test gas and vacuum the sealed cavity 101 .

[0031] During actual use, both the air inlet 115 and the exhaust port 116 are provided with valves, and the staff can control the air inlet 115 to intake air or control the exhaust port 116 to exhaust air through the valves.

After the two retaining rings 117 are connected to the lower piston rod 105, a second sealing groove 119 is formed. The first sealing groove 118 and the second sealing groove 119 are both used to install the third sealing assembly 109. The upper piston rod 104 and the lower piston rod 105 have the same structure.

[0033] During actual use, the plurality of PTFE / NBR composite sealing rings in the third sealing assembly 109 are installed in the first sealing groove 118 and the second sealing groove 119 respectively.

[0034] In some embodiments, a plurality of third sealing grooves 120 are provided on the inner wall of the air chamber, and the interior of the third sealing grooves 120 is used to install the first sealing assembly 107 and the second sealing assembly 108 .

[0035] During actual use, a number of third sealing grooves 120 are provided on the inner wall of the air chamber close to the outer wall and two positions of the inner wall of the kettle body 110. The third sealing grooves 120 are used to install a number of PTFE / NBR composite sealing rings, and triple sealing is achieved through the PTFE / NBR composite sealing rings on the upper piston rod 104 and the lower piston rod 105.

[0036] In some embodiments, a safety valve 121 is provided on the kettle body 110 .

[0037] In actual use, the purpose of setting the safety valve 121 is to prevent the air pressure inside the sealed chamber 101 from being too high.
