Technical Field

[0001] The utility model specifically relates to the technical field of hydrogen compensation, in particular to a hydrogen compensation device during the use of a hydrogen fuel cell. Background Art

[0002] A hydrogen fuel cell is a power generation device that utilizes hydrogen energy through chemical reactions. It only generates water during operation, achieving true zero emissions. Compared with the traditional method of burning fuel, hydrogen fuel cells have higher energy conversion efficiency and lower emissions, becoming one of the important technologies for future environmentally friendly energy. Its basic principle is the reverse reaction of water electrolysis, supplying hydrogen and oxygen to the anode and cathode respectively. After hydrogen diffuses outward through the anode and reacts with the electrolyte, it releases electrons through an external load to reach the cathode. It is a new type of battery.

[0003] At present, when traditional hydrogen fuel cells are in use, the tank is directly connected to the battery. In this way, when the hydrogen fuel in the battery is used up, the battery needs to be refilled with dye. This will affect the use of the battery when the battery is out of fuel, causing damage to the battery and reducing the battery life.

[0004] After searching, Chinese patent publication number CN201710498008.9 discloses a storage system and method for a fuel cell stack; including a stack, a hydrogen system, an air system and a nitrogen automatic pressure replenishing device, the hydrogen system and the air system are arranged in parallel on the stack; the nitrogen automatic pressure replenishing device automatically compensates for the nitrogen pressure in the stack;

[0005] When the structure in the above patent is in use, it is connected to the electric propeller through the storage tank. Although this can realize the compensation of the fuel in the electric propeller, after the fuel in the storage tank is used up, it is necessary to effectively add the fuel in the storage tank when the electric propeller stops working, which will affect the continuous operation of the electric propeller during use, and when the electric propeller starts working again, it will consume more fuel. In addition, when the structure in the above patent is performing fuel compensation, the fuel that cannot be consumed inside cannot be recycled, so when it is used, fuel will accumulate inside the electric propeller. In this way, the purity of the fuel inside the electric propeller cannot be effectively guaranteed during long-term use, which will affect the service life of the electric propeller.

[0006] In view of the above situation, we provide a hydrogen compensation device for use in a hydrogen fuel cell, wherein a compensation device is provided between the tank body and the hydrogen fuel cell, so that during use, the spring in the pipeline is controlled by an electromagnetic valve to realize the movement of the compensation tube, and when the compensation tube moves, the fuel transported through the connecting tube is transmitted to the inside of the pipeline, and then the connection and closing between the pipeline and the hydrogen fuel cell are realized through the cooperation between the sealing head and the one-way conical head, so as to realize the compensation of the hydrogen fuel in the hydrogen fuel cell, and when performing compensation, the fuel inside the hydrogen fuel cell that is not consumed in time enters the hydrogen fuel discharge storage tank through the squeezing of the new fuel, and the hydrogen fuel discharge storage tank is connected to the connecting flange through the circulation pipe, and when the compensation assembly performs hydrogen compensation, a negative pressure is formed in the connecting flange connected to the pipeline, so that the fuel discharged from the hydrogen fuel storage tank is extracted into the connecting flange through the circulation pipe and then mixed with the new fuel and enters the hydrogen fuel cell again, so as to realize the compensation and the effect of fuel recycling.
