The utility model further provides a specific implementation of the compressor hydrogen environment test device. The hydrogen supply module includes: a hydrogen storage grid, a first pneumatic valve, a first check valve and a first pressure reducing valve. The specific configuration and connection mode of these components are as follows: the hydrogen storage grid is arranged in a grid shape and at a predetermined position. The design of this grid arrangement helps to efficiently store and supply hydrogen, while ensuring the safety of operation. The first pneumatic valve is connected at the outlet of the hydrogen storage grid, used to control the flow of hydrogen. When it is needed to deliver hydrogen to the compressor test module, the first pneumatic valve will be opened, allowing hydrogen to pass. Conversely, when it is not needed to deliver hydrogen, the first pneumatic valve will be closed, cutting off the flow of hydrogen. The first check valve is connected after the first pneumatic valve, ensuring that hydrogen can only flow in one direction, preventing gas backflow or reverse flow from causing safety hazards. This design helps to protect the safety and stability of the entire test device. The first pressure reducing valve is connected after the first check valve, used to adjust the pressure of hydrogen. Since the hydrogen pressure in the hydrogen storage grid is high, direct delivery to the compressor test module may cause equipment damage or safety hazards. Therefore, the first pressure reducing valve will reduce the pressure of hydrogen to a range suitable for the operation of the compressor test module. These components (hydrogen storage grid, first pneumatic valve, first check valve and first pressure reducing valve) are connected in sequence through pipes, forming a complete hydrogen supply channel. When it is needed to test the performance of the compressor in a hydrogen environment, hydrogen will flow out of the hydrogen storage grid, pass through the control of the first pneumatic valve, the one-way flow protection of the first check valve and the pressure adjustment of the first pressure reducing valve, and finally be delivered to the compressor test module. In specific implementation, the person skilled in the art can select appropriate models of hydrogen storage grid, first pneumatic valve, first check valve and first pressure reducing valve according to actual needs, and assemble them together according to the above connection mode. At the same time, it is also necessary to ensure that the sealing of all connections is good, so as to prevent hydrogen leakage from causing safety hazards.
[0081] Further, the compressor test module comprises a compressor body, a high-pressure buffer tank, a low-pressure buffer tank and a flow meter. The compressor body is connected with the hydrogen supply module, and has an inlet and an outlet. The high-pressure buffer tank is connected at the outlet position of the compressor body. The low-pressure buffer tank is connected at the inlet position of the compressor body. The flow meter is arranged between the low-pressure buffer tank and the inlet of the compressor body. The utility model further provides a specific implementation of the compressor hydrogen environment test device. The compressor test module comprises a compressor body, a high-pressure buffer tank, a low-pressure buffer tank and a flow meter. The specific configuration and connection mode of these components are as follows: the compressor body is the core component of the entire test device, has an inlet and an outlet, and is used for compressing and conveying hydrogen. The high-pressure buffer tank is connected at the outlet position of the compressor body and is used for storing high-pressure hydrogen compressed by the compressor body. The design of the high-pressure buffer tank can withstand high pressure and ensure stable supply of hydrogen during the test. The low-pressure buffer tank is connected at the inlet position of the compressor body and is used for storing low-pressure hydrogen conveyed from the hydrogen supply module. During the test, the low-pressure buffer tank can smoothly provide hydrogen to the compressor body, avoiding the influence of pressure fluctuation on the performance of the compressor. The flow meter is arranged on the pipeline between the low-pressure buffer tank and the inlet of the compressor body and is used for monitoring the hydrogen flow entering the compressor body in real time. This design helps to accurately evaluate the performance of the compressor and ensures the accuracy and reliability of the test data. In specific implementation, the compressor body, the high-pressure buffer tank, the low-pressure buffer tank and the flow meter are sequentially connected through the pipeline to form a complete hydrogen compression and test channel. Hydrogen is conveyed from the hydrogen supply module to the low-pressure buffer tank, enters the inlet of the compressor body after being monitored by the flow meter. The compressor body compresses hydrogen and conveys high-pressure hydrogen to the high-pressure buffer tank for storage. During the test, the working parameters of the compressor, such as speed and pressure, can be adjusted as needed to evaluate its performance under different conditions. At the same time, in order to ensure the safety and accuracy of the test, strict sealing inspection and calibration of the entire test device are also required. In particular, the connection between the compressor body, the high-pressure buffer tank, the low-pressure buffer tank and the flow meter needs to be sealed well to prevent hydrogen leakage and cause safety hazards. In addition, the flow meter needs to be calibrated regularly to ensure the accuracy of its measurement results.
[0082] Further, the safety control module includes a plurality of pressure transmitters, a plurality of safety valves, a venting pipeline, and a flame arrester. The plurality of pressure transmitters are respectively arranged in the hydrogen supply module, the compressor test module, and the recycling module. The plurality of safety valves correspond to the plurality of pressure transmitters one-to-one, and the plurality of safety valves are respectively installed between the plurality of pressure transmitters and the venting pipeline. The flame arrester is installed between the plurality of safety valves and the venting pipeline. Specifically, the safety control module includes a plurality of pressure transmitters, a plurality of safety valves, a venting pipeline, and a flame arrester. The specific configuration and connection mode of these components are as follows: the plurality of pressure transmitters are respectively arranged in the hydrogen supply module, the compressor test module, and the recycling module, for real-time monitoring of the hydrogen pressure in each module. Each pressure transmitter is directly connected to the corresponding module through a pipeline or a connecting piece, ensuring accurate measurement of the hydrogen pressure in the module. The plurality of safety valves correspond to the plurality of pressure transmitters one-to-one, and are respectively installed between the plurality of pressure transmitters and the venting pipeline. When the hydrogen pressure in a certain module exceeds the preset safety value, the corresponding safety valve will automatically open, discharging excess hydrogen through the venting pipeline to a safe area to avoid equipment damage or safety hazards caused by overpressure. The venting pipeline is a dedicated hydrogen discharge channel connecting each safety valve to ensure that hydrogen can be quickly discharged to a safe area in the event of overpressure. The design of the venting pipeline needs to take into account the flammable and explosive nature of hydrogen, so it is usually made of corrosion-resistant and high-temperature-resistant materials and is equipped with appropriate protective measures. The flame arrester is installed between the plurality of safety valves and the venting pipeline to prevent sparks or high temperatures generated during the venting process from causing hydrogen explosions. The flame arrester is filled with special flame-resistant materials that can effectively prevent the spread of flames or high temperatures, ensuring the safety of the venting process. In specific implementation, each pressure transmitter, safety valve, venting pipeline, and flame arrester needs to be installed and debugged according to specifications. In particular, the set pressure of the safety valve needs to be accurately set according to the actual working pressure of each module to ensure timely response in the event of overpressure. At the same time, the venting pipeline and the flame arrester also need to be regularly maintained and inspected to ensure they are in good working condition. In addition, to further improve the safety of the test device, a PLC controller can also be set up. The PLC control system can communicate with each pressure transmitter, safety valve, and other components to monitor the hydrogen pressure in real time and automatically trigger the opening of the safety valve in the event of overpressure, achieving automated safety control.

The second pneumatic valve is used for controlling the flow of hydrogen, and when it is necessary to recycle hydrogen, the second pneumatic valve is opened to allow hydrogen to flow out of the compressor test module; on the contrary, when it is not necessary to recycle hydrogen, the second pneumatic valve is closed to cut off the flow of hydrogen. The second check valve ensures that hydrogen can only flow in one direction, preventing gas backflow from causing safety hazards. The second pressure reducing valve is used for adjusting the pressure of hydrogen, ensuring that the pressure of recycled hydrogen is moderate, facilitating subsequent processing or recycling. The back pressure valve is arranged between the high-pressure buffer tank and the low-pressure buffer tank, and is used for adjusting the back pressure inside the system, ensuring that the compressor works under stable pressure. The back pressure valve is connected with the second pneumatic valve, the second check valve, and the second pressure reducing valve through pipelines, forming a complete hydrogen recycling channel. When the pressure of hydrogen in the compressor test module decreases to a preset value, the back pressure valve is opened to allow high-pressure hydrogen in the high-pressure buffer tank to flow into the low-pressure buffer tank through the back pressure valve, providing stable back pressure for the compressor. At the same time, the second pneumatic valve, the second check valve, and the second pressure reducing valve work cooperatively to recycle hydrogen in the compressor test module into the low-pressure buffer tank or other storage devices. In specific implementation, the selection of the second pneumatic valve, the second check valve, the second pressure reducing valve, and the back pressure valve needs to be determined according to the actual working pressure and flow of the system. At the same time, the installation positions of these components also need to be accurately calculated to ensure that the flow path of hydrogen is the shortest and the efficiency is the highest. In addition, in order to ensure the safety of the recycling process, regular maintenance and inspection are also needed for these components, and in particular, the adjustment function of the back pressure valve needs to be regularly checked to ensure that it is in good working condition. In summary, the recycling module structure of the compressor hydrogen environment test device provided in the embodiment is clear, connected, safe and reliable, can effectively recycle hydrogen in the compressor test module, and realizes the recycling of resources. By reasonably arranging the second pneumatic valve, the second check valve, the second pressure reducing valve, and the back pressure valve, the stability and safety of hydrogen in the recycling process can be ensured, and strong support is provided for the performance test of the compressor.

Before the test starts, the nitrogen control valve will be opened, allowing nitrogen to flow from the nitrogen source through the nitrogen pipeline into the hydrogen supply module and the compressor test module, replacing the air or other impurities in the system, and ensuring the purity of the test environment. During the replacement process, the flow and pressure of nitrogen can be controlled by adjusting the opening of the nitrogen control valve to meet the test requirements. After the test is completed, the nitrogen replacement module will also be replaced with nitrogen, and the residual hydrogen in the system will be replaced to eliminate safety hazards. At this time, the nitrogen control valve will be opened again, and nitrogen will flow from the nitrogen source into the system, gradually discharging hydrogen to a safe area. After the replacement is completed, the nitrogen control valve will be closed, cutting off the flow of nitrogen, and the system will return to the initial state. In specific implementation, the connection of the nitrogen replacement module needs to ensure good sealing to avoid safety hazards caused by nitrogen leakage. At the same time, the selection of the nitrogen control valve needs to be determined according to the actual working pressure and flow of the system to ensure the stability and efficiency of the replacement process.

In the specific implementation, the selection of the PLC controller needs to be determined according to the actual demand and scale of the system. At the same time, in order to ensure the communication stability and reliability between the PLC controller and each component, appropriate communication protocol and protection measures need to be adopted, such as setting communication redundancy, adopting anti-interference measures and the like. In summary, the plurality of PLC controllers newly added in the compressor hydrogen environment test device provided in the embodiment have clear structure, standard and safe and reliable connection, and can realize accurate control and monitoring of each key component in the system. By reasonably setting the connection mode of the PLC controller and the first pneumatic valve, the second pneumatic valve, the third pneumatic valve, the pressure transmitter and the safety valve and the like, the stability and safety of the test process can be ensured, and strong support is provided for the performance test of the compressor.
