[0035] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] Combine the following Figure 1 to Figure 2 The vehicle-mounted hydrogen system in an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0037] Specifically, the on-board hydrogen system includes a pressure vessel 2, a connecting branch 3, a gas branch 4 and a control module.

[0038] The pressure container 2 is used to store hydrogen, and the pressure container 2 is provided with a gas port for hydrogen to enter and exit. For example, the pressure container 2 can be configured as a hydrogen bottle or a hydrogen tank.

[0039] The connecting branch 3 is connected to the gas port so that the hydrogen in the pressure vessel 2 can be discharged through the connecting branch 3, or the hydrogen in the external hydrogenation device can enter the pressure vessel 2 through the connecting branch 3. The connecting branch 3 includes a control valve 101, a first pressure detection device 102 and a temperature detection device 103. Among them, the control valve 101 can control the on-off of the connecting branch 3. The first pressure detection device 102 can detect the pressure value of the connecting branch 3. When the control valve 101 is in an open state, the pressure value of the connecting branch 3 is also the pressure value in the pressure vessel 2. The temperature detection device 103 can detect the temperature value of the connecting branch 3. When the control valve 101 is in an open state, the temperature value of the connecting branch 3 is also the temperature value of the pressure vessel 2. For example, the first pressure detection device 102 can be set as a pressure sensor, and the temperature detection device 103 can be set as a temperature sensor.

[0040] The gas branch 4 is connected to the connecting branch 3 and is used to introduce hydrogen into the fuel cell.

[0041] The first pressure detection device 102 and the temperature detection device 103 are both connected to the control module, and the control module controls the operation of the control valve 101 based on the pressure value detected by the first pressure detection device 102 and the temperature value detected by the temperature detection device 103. It should be noted that the control module includes but is not limited to various controllers.

[0042] The on-board hydrogen system provided in the embodiment of the present invention is connected to the gas port of the pressure vessel 2 through the connecting branch 3. The first pressure detection device 102 on the connecting branch 3 can detect the pressure value of the connecting branch 3, and the temperature detection device 103 can detect the temperature value of the connecting branch 3. When the control valve 101 is in the open state, the pressure value and temperature value of the connecting branch 3 are also the pressure value and temperature value in the pressure vessel 2. The control module is connected to the first pressure detection device 102 and the temperature detection device 103, and controls the operation of the control valve 101 based on the pressure value and the temperature value. When the pressure value and the temperature value of the pressure vessel 2 change, the surface external conditions change, and the control module can actively control the control valve operation in a timely manner, which can avoid the occurrence of dangerous conditions and improve the safety of the on-board hydrogen system.

[0043] In some embodiments provided by the present invention, based on the pressure value, controlling the action of the control valve 101 includes:

[0044] When it is determined that the pressure value is higher than the preset high pressure threshold, the control module controls the control valve 101 to close.

[0045] Specifically, when the pressure value is higher than the preset high-pressure threshold, there may be a dangerous situation such as fire, which may cause the temperature of the pressure vessel 2 to rise and then cause the pressure value inside the pressure vessel 2 to increase. At this time, the control module controls the control valve 101 to close, which can prevent hydrogen from continuing to be discharged and avoid pipeline damage causing hydrogen leakage and causing deflagration and explosion.

[0046] When it is determined that the pressure value is lower than the preset low pressure threshold, the control module sends fuel cell shutdown information to the vehicle controller, and after the vehicle controller shuts down the fuel cell, the control module controls the control valve 101 to close.

[0047] Specifically, when the pressure value is too low, it may be that there is insufficient hydrogen in the pressure vessel 2. In order to avoid the fuel cell malfunctioning and shutting down due to insufficient hydrogen, which affects the service life of the fuel cell, the control module can first send a fuel cell shutdown message to the vehicle controller, and the vehicle controller controls the fuel cell to shut down normally. After the vehicle controller sends a confirmation shutdown message to the control module, the control module controls the control valve 101 to close. Furthermore, the preset low-pressure threshold can be higher than the minimum pressure value of the pressure vessel 2 required for the normal operation of the fuel cell, so as to avoid shutting down the fuel cell after the hydrogen shortage has occurred.

[0048] In some embodiments provided by the present invention, based on the temperature value, controlling the action of the control valve 101 includes:

[0049] When it is determined that the temperature value is higher than the preset temperature threshold, the control module controls the control valve 101 to close.

[0050] Specifically, when the temperature value is higher than the preset temperature threshold, there may be a fire or other dangerous situation that causes the temperature of the pressure vessel 2 to rise. At this time, the control module controls the control valve 101 to close, which can prevent the hydrogen from continuing to be arranged and avoid pipeline damage causing hydrogen leakage and causing deflagration and explosion.

[0051] In some embodiments provided by the present invention, the on-board hydrogen system further includes a first exhaust branch 5 and a second exhaust branch 6 .

[0052] The first emptying branch 5 is connected to the gas port, and the second emptying branch 6 is connected to the end of the pressure vessel 2 away from the gas port. The first emptying branch 5 and the second emptying branch 6 can both discharge the hydrogen in the pressure vessel 2 when the hydrogen in the pressure vessel 2 is over-temperature and / or over-pressure. Optionally, the first emptying branch 5 and the second emptying branch 6 both include an emptying pipeline and an over-temperature and over-pressure protection device 108 arranged on the emptying pipeline. Among them, the emptying pipeline is connected to the pressure vessel 2 and the emptying port respectively, and the over-temperature and over-pressure protection device 108 can be opened when the pressure vessel 2 is over-temperature or over-pressure, so as to discharge the hydrogen in the pressure vessel 2 from the emptying port. It should be noted that the over-temperature and over-pressure protection device 108 is a product in the prior art, and its structure and principle are not the focus of this article, and will not be repeated here.

[0053] With such arrangement, the emptying function of the first emptying branch 5 and the second emptying branch 6 can cooperate with the control valve 101 that controls the action of the control valve 101 based on the pressure value and the temperature value, thereby providing a double protection effect for the on-board hydrogen system and improving the safety of the on-board hydrogen system.

[0054] For example, when the pressure value or temperature value of the pressure vessel 2 increases, in order to avoid deflagration and explosion caused by hydrogen leakage, the control module controls the control valve 101 to close. If the fault is not eliminated, resulting in a further increase in the pressure value or temperature value of the container, in order to avoid the problem of explosion of the pressure vessel 2, the hydrogen in the pressure vessel 2 is emptied by the first emptying branch 5 and the second emptying branch 6. Therefore, the starting pressure value set for the over-temperature and over-pressure device can be greater than or equal to the preset high pressure threshold, and the starting temperature value set for the over-temperature and over-pressure device can be greater than or equal to the preset temperature threshold.

[0055] In addition, by connecting the first emptying branch 5 to the gas port of the pressure vessel 2 and the second emptying branch 6 to the end of the pressure vessel 2 away from the gas port, on the one hand, the first emptying branch 5 and the second emptying branch 6 can simultaneously empty the pressure vessel, thereby increasing the emptying rate of the pressure vessel 2 and improving safety. On the other hand, since the pressure vessel 2 is usually long, by arranging the first emptying branch 5 and the second emptying branch 6 at the two ends of the pressure vessel 2, respectively, the problem that the emptying branch cannot be opened in time to empty the pressure vessel 2 due to uneven pressure or uneven temperature at the two ends of the pressure vessel 2 can be avoided.

[0056] In some embodiments provided by the present invention, the connecting branch 3 further includes an overflow valve 104, a first regulating valve 105 and a first filter 106. The overflow valve 104, the first regulating valve 105 and the first filter 106 are all connected in series with the control valve 101.

[0057] Among them, by setting the overflow valve 104, when the pressure vessel 2 discharges hydrogen to the gas branch 4 through the connecting branch 3, if there is a hydrogen leakage problem in the gas branch 4, the overflow valve 104 can be automatically closed to ensure the safety of the vehicle hydrogen system. It should be noted that the overflow valve 104 is a product in the prior art, and its structure and principle are not the focus of this article, and will not be repeated here.

[0058] By providing the first filter 106 , the hydrogen gas entering the gas branch line 4 can be filtered.

[0059] The flow rate of hydrogen can be adjusted by providing the first regulating valve 105. For example, the first regulating valve 105 includes but is not limited to a needle valve.

[0060] Optionally, in the flow direction of hydrogen in the connecting branch 3 when the pressure vessel 2 discharges hydrogen from the connecting branch 3, the first filter 106, the overflow valve 104, the first regulating valve 105 and the control valve 101 are connected in sequence. The first pressure detection device 102 is arranged downstream of the control valve 101, and the temperature detection device 103 is arranged between the pressure vessel 2 and the filter.

[0061] In some embodiments provided by the present invention, the vehicle-mounted hydrogen system further includes a second regulating valve 107, and the second regulating valve 107 is arranged in parallel with the connecting branch 3. In this arrangement, when a fault such as power failure occurs in the connecting branch 3, the pressure vessel 2 can discharge hydrogen to the gas branch 4 through the second regulating valve 107. Alternatively, hydrogen can be filled into the pressure vessel 2 through the second regulating valve 107. Optionally, the second regulating valve 107 includes but is not limited to a needle valve.

[0062] In some embodiments provided by the present invention, the second regulating valve 107, the control valve 101, the first pressure detection device 102, the temperature detection device 103, the over-flow valve 104, the first filter 106, the first regulating valve 105 and the over-temperature and over-pressure protection device 108 of the first exhaust branch 5 are integrated to form a combined valve 1. Such an arrangement can make the structure of the vehicle-mounted hydrogen system more compact.

[0063] In some embodiments provided by the present invention, the on-board hydrogen system further includes a charging branch 8 connected to the connecting branch 3 for replenishing hydrogen to the pressure vessel 2 .

[0064] The control valve 101 is an electromagnetic reversing valve. In the open state, the control valve 101 is bidirectional, and the pressure vessel 2 can discharge hydrogen to the gas branch 4 through the connecting branch 3. In the closed state, the control valve 101 is unidirectional, and the charging branch 8 can replenish hydrogen to the pressure vessel 2 through the connecting branch 3. In this way, the control valve 101 is in the closed state, which is equivalent to the one-way valve 17, so that the hydrogen in the pressure vessel 2 cannot be discharged, but the hydrogen in the charging branch 8 can enter the pressure vessel 2 through the control valve 101, so as to facilitate the hydrogenation of the pressure vessel 2.

[0065] Optionally, the charging branch 8 includes a charging pipeline, a fourth filter 16, a one-way valve 17 and a pressure gauge 18. One end of the charging pipeline is connected to the connecting branch 3, and the other end of the charging pipeline is used to connect to the hydrogenation device. Along the flow direction of hydrogen in the charging pipeline, the fourth filter 16, the one-way valve 17 and the pressure gauge 18 are arranged in sequence. The fourth filter 16 can filter impurities in the hydrogen, the one-way valve 17 can prevent the hydrogen in the pressure vessel 2 from flowing back to the charging pipeline, and the pressure gauge 18 can display the pressure of hydrogenation.

[0066] In some embodiments provided by the present invention, the vehicle-mounted hydrogen system further includes a third exhaust branch 7. The third exhaust branch 7 is connected to the gas branch 4, and can discharge the hydrogen in the gas branch 4 when the gas branch 4 is over-temperature and / or over-pressured. In this way, when the gas branch 4 is over-temperature or over-pressured, the third exhaust branch 7 can discharge the hydrogen in the gas branch 4 to the exhaust port in time, so as to empty the third exhaust branch 7 and avoid dangerous conditions.

[0067] Optionally, the gas branch 4 includes a gas pipeline, a pressure reducer 11 and a third filter 14. Among them, one end of the gas pipeline is connected to the connecting branch 3, and the other end of the gas pipeline is used to connect to the fuel cell. Along the flow direction of hydrogen in the gas pipeline, the third filter 14 and the pressure reducer 11 are arranged in sequence. The hydrogen discharged from the connecting branch 3 can be filtered by the third filter 14 to prevent impurities in the hydrogen from entering the fuel cell. The pressure reducer 11 can reduce the pressure of the hydrogen discharged from the connecting branch 3 to the hydrogen pressure required by the fuel cell.

[0068] Further, the pressure reducer 11 includes a second filter 12, a low-pressure regulator 13 and a second pressure detection device 15. Among them, along the flow direction of hydrogen, the second filter 12 and the low-pressure regulator 13 are arranged in sequence. The second pressure detection device 15 is connected to the outlet of the low-pressure regulator 13 and is used to detect the outlet pressure value of the low-pressure regulator 13. Optionally, the second pressure detection device 15 is connected to the control module, and the control module also controls the low-pressure regulator 13 based on the outlet pressure value detected by the second pressure detection device 15, so that the outlet pressure value meets the pressure requirement of the fuel cell.

[0069] Further, the pressure reducer 11 includes a low-pressure gas outlet and a pressure relief port. The low-pressure gas outlet is connected to the fuel cell, and the third exhaust branch 7 is connected to the low-pressure gas outlet. The pressure relief port is connected to the exhaust port through a pressure relief pipeline 25. In this way, the third exhaust branch 7 can be used to discharge hydrogen in the downstream pipeline of the pressure reducer 11, and the pressure relief port can be used to discharge hydrogen in the pressure reducer 11 and the upstream pipeline of the pressure reducer 11.

[0070] In some embodiments provided by the present invention, the third emptying branch 7 includes a safety valve 9 and a third regulating valve 10 arranged in parallel with the safety valve 9. The safety valve 9 can automatically open to empty the hydrogen in the gas branch 4 when the gas branch 4 is over-temperature or over-pressured. The gas branch 4 can be manually emptied by setting the third regulating valve 10 in parallel with the safety valve 9. Optionally, the third regulating valve 10 includes but is not limited to a needle valve. Further, the third emptying branch 7 includes an emptying pipeline, one end of the emptying pipeline is connected to the hydrogen outlet of the pressure reducer 11, and the other end of the emptying pipeline is connected to the emptying port, and the safety valve 9 and the third regulating valve 10 are arranged in parallel on the emptying pipeline.

[0071] In some embodiments provided by the present invention, there are multiple pressure vessels 2 and multiple combination valves 1. Each pressure vessel 2 is connected to the charging branch 8, the gas branch 4 and the exhaust port through the corresponding combination valve 1.

[0072] In some embodiments provided by the present invention, the vehicle-mounted hydrogen system further includes a support frame 19 and an air intake duct 23 assembly.

[0073] The pressure vessel 2 is disposed on a support frame 19, and the support frame 19 is used to be connected to a vehicle body.

[0074] The air inlet duct 23 is used to connect with the fuel cell system to provide air to the fuel cell. The air inlet duct 23 is arranged on the side wall of the support frame 19 .

[0075] By arranging both the air intake duct 23 and the pressure vessel 2 on the support frame 19, the space utilization rate of the support frame 19 can be improved, making the overall structure of the operating machine more compact.

[0076] Optionally, the support frame 19 includes a plurality of support layers distributed along the height direction of the support frame 19, and each support layer is provided with a high-pressure container. For example, each support layer is provided with two high-pressure containers.

[0077] Optionally, the support frame 19 is connected to the vehicle body through a connecting plate 22. For example, both ends of the connecting plate 22 are connected to the support frame 19 and the vehicle body respectively through threaded fasteners such as bolts.

[0078] In some embodiments provided by the present invention, the vehicle-mounted hydrogen system further includes at least one of a hydrogen concentration sensor 24 and a collision sensor. The hydrogen concentration sensor 24 can detect hydrogen concentration information, and the collision sensor can detect collision information received by the pressure vessel 2. Both the hydrogen concentration sensor 24 and the collision sensor are connected to the control module, and the control module also controls the operation of the control valve 101 based on the hydrogen concentration information and the collision information.

[0079] Further, when the control module receives the hydrogen concentration information and determines that the hydrogen concentration information is higher than the hydrogen concentration threshold, it controls the control valve 101 to close. The hydrogen concentration information is higher than the hydrogen concentration threshold, indicating that hydrogen leakage may have occurred, and further leakage of hydrogen can be prevented by closing the control valve 101.

[0080] Further, when the control module receives the collision information, it controls the control valve 101 to close. After receiving the collision information, it means that the pressure vessel 2 may be hit. In order to avoid hydrogen leakage caused by damage to the pipeline, the control valve 101 can be closed to prevent further leakage of hydrogen and ensure safety.

[0081] Optionally, at least two hydrogen concentration sensors 24 are provided, and the hydrogen concentration sensors 24 are provided on the top of the support frame 19 , and hydrogen concentration sensors 24 are provided at positions on the top of the support frame 19 corresponding to both ends of the pressure vessel 2 .
