[0021] The technical solutions of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the drawings. Obviously, the following described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all embodiments.

[0022] With the rapid development of hydrogen energy industry, the safety and reliability of high-pressure hydrogen storage technology, as the core link of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, have attracted much attention. Among them, type IV hydrogen storage cylinders have become the first choice for vehicle-mounted hydrogen storage systems due to their lightweight, corrosion resistance and high hydrogen storage density. Unlike traditional metal cylinders (type I, type II) and fiber-wound metal liner cylinders (type III), type IV cylinders use high molecular polymers (such as high-density polyethylene or polyamide) as the inner liner, and the outer layer is formed by winding carbon fiber reinforced resin composite materials. This structure not only significantly reduces the self-weight of the cylinder (about 20%-30% lighter than type III cylinder), but also has excellent fatigue resistance and chemical stability, which can meet the needs of frequent charging and discharging cycles and complex working conditions of vehicle-mounted hydrogen storage systems.

[0023] The composite laminated structure of the type IV hydrogen storage cylinder is prone to interfacial delamination, fiber buckling and other failure modes under high pressure (usually 35-70 MPa) and temperature alternating environment, and its safety is highly dependent on the accuracy of the manufacturing process and the structural integrity. As the core link of the cylinder type test, the water pressure burst test is an important means to evaluate the ultimate bearing capacity and failure mode. In order to ensure its service safety, the water pressure burst test is listed as a mandatory verification method in ISO 11119-3, GB / T 35544 and GB-T42612 standards, and the minimum burst pressure and failure mode need to be accurately measured by overpressure test (≥2.25 times working pressure). This test not only verifies the rationality of the cylinder structure design, but also is the core criterion for evaluating the consistency of the production process (such as fiber layer angle and curing degree).

[0024] Before the water pressure burst test of the type IV hydrogen storage cylinder, the liquid needs to be filled and the air needs to be discharged as much as possible to ensure the accuracy of the final water pressure burst result. However, the vertical filling method is currently widely used in the industry, that is, the type IV hydrogen storage cylinder is first placed vertically for water filling, and after the water filling is completed, the filled type IV hydrogen storage cylinder is turned over and placed horizontally, and then the water pressure burst test is carried out after connecting the corresponding pressure device. This method results in a huge operation space required for the overall water pressure burst device, and the overall test efficiency is low. Moreover, for some irregular shaped and non-vertical hydrogen storage cylinders 300, there are several local areas in the inner cavity that are higher than the horizontal height of the cylinder mouth, which causes several air cavities in the cylinder during rapid liquid filling, affecting the final test result.

[0025] Therefore, it is urgent to develop a hydrogen storage cylinder water pressure test device and method to improve the test efficiency of water pressure burst, avoid the formation of air cavities, and improve the accuracy of the test.
