Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of hydrogen valves, in particular to a hydrogen valve used in hydrogen fuel cells. Background Art

[0002] Existing valves are pipeline accessories used to open and close pipelines, control flow direction, adjust and control the parameters of the conveying medium, temperature, pressure and flow. According to their functions, they can be divided into shut-off valves, check valves and regulating valves. Valves are control components in fluid conveying systems and have functions such as shut-off, regulation, diversion, prevention of backflow, pressure stabilization and diversion or overflow pressure relief. Valves used in fluid control systems come in a wide variety of varieties and specifications, from the simplest shut-off valves to various valves used in extremely complex automatic control systems.

[0003] Referring to the Chinese patent, a hydrogen valve for hydrogen fuel cells (publication number: CN207814601U, publication date: 2018-09-04), the patent solves the problem that the safety performance of traditional hydrogen valves is poor, which makes the hydrogen valves easy to fall off during use. The sealing effect of traditional hydrogen valves is not good enough. The hydrogen valves are prone to leakage during long-term use. Traditional hydrogen valves cannot display the air pressure inside the valve, and the functionality is relatively single, which has certain safety hazards. However, due to the gap between the control valve and the valve body when it is rotated, rainwater is easy to flow in from the gap when it is used outside. Over time, the threads between the control valve and the valve body will rust, and the control valve will be difficult to twist. In addition, the exhaust pipe is connected to the connecting pipe by threads, but if the connecting pipe is heavy, the end of the connecting pipe inserted into the exhaust pipe will produce a lever effect due to gravity, squeezing the thread upward. Over time, the force of squeezing the thread will increase, affecting the connection effect. In this regard, we propose a hydrogen valve for hydrogen fuel cells to solve the above problems.
