[0087] The hydrogen fuel cell agricultural tractor integrated with weeding, loosening, sowing and irrigation is characterized in that the hydrogen fuel cell 3, the water pump 20 and the vaporizer 14 constitute a fuel cell water and heat management circuit.

[0088] In the hydrogen fuel cell agricultural tractor integrated with weeding, loosening, sowing and irrigation, the data provided by the temperature sensor 5 and the humidity sensor 6 can control the opening size of the second control valve through algorithm calculation.

[0089] In one example, the operating panel is connected to a control system that analyzes data collected by temperature and humidity sensors to precisely control the amount of water used for irrigation. It also uses images from a camera to achieve autonomous driving. It can also control functions such as weeding, loosening the soil, and sowing.

[0090] In the hydrogen fuel cell agricultural tractor integrated with weeding, loosening, sowing and irrigation, the process flow of its power system is as follows:

[0091] The liquid hydrogen in the liquid hydrogen storage tank 10 reaches the liquid hydrogen pump 8 through the first pipeline 28 of the power system, and after being pressurized, it reaches the vaporizer 14 in liquid form through the second pipeline 29 of the power system, and vaporizes into gaseous hydrogen after absorbing heat from the hydrogen fuel cell water thermal management circuit, and enters the hydrogen fuel cell 3 through the third pipeline 30 of the power system. The generated direct current is converted by the AC / DC converter 17 and the DC / DC converter 18 to power the engine 4 and other equipment, and the water generated after reacting with oxygen enters the water tank 26.

[0092] In the hydrogen fuel cell agricultural tractor integrated with weeding, loosening, sowing and irrigation, the process flow of the hydrogen fuel cell water and heat management cycle is as follows:

[0093] The heat of the hydrogen fuel cell 3 is taken away by the cooling water of the water heat management loop.

After obtaining energy, it enters the hydrogen fuel cell 3 through the seventh pipeline 34 of the power system.

[0094] A hydrogen fuel cell is a power generation device that converts the chemical energy of fuel directly into electrical energy. It only produces water and heat during operation and has many advantages such as cleanliness, high energy density, low noise, and high efficiency. Combined with the characteristics of high repetition and fixed processes in agricultural production, the multifunctional integrated agricultural hydrogen fuel cell tractor using automatic driving technology of the present invention promotes the modernization of the agricultural industry and improves the degree of agricultural mechanization and productivity.

[0095] The method for operating the hydrogen fuel cell agricultural tractor integrated with weeding, loosening, sowing and irrigation includes:

[0096] After the driver has adjusted the starting position of the tractor, he controls the first telescopic valve 12 and the second telescopic valve 15 through the operation panel 2, puts down the weeder 13 and the tiller 16, sets the tractor forward speed and sowing time interval, and then starts the tractor, turns on the "autopilot" function, and presses the "start sowing" button at the first time when sowing is required. The second control valve 25 can control the valve opening size according to the data provided by the temperature sensor 5 and the humidity sensor 6 through algorithm calculation, and accurately sprays the amount of water required for the seeds until the sowing of the row of land is completed. The camera 35 transmits the real-time road condition information to the control system to complete the steering and advancement of the tractor until the sowing and irrigation of the entire land are completed.

[0097] In one embodiment, if the weeding function is not needed, the first telescopic valve 12 can be controlled to retract the weeder, if the loosening function is not needed, the second telescopic valve 15 can be controlled to retract the tiller, if the sowing function is not needed, the first control valve 22 can be controlled to close the passage between the seed box 27 and the seed screen 23, if the irrigation function is not needed, the second control valve 25 can be controlled to close the passage between the water tank 26 and the sprinkler 24. In one embodiment, the amount of water that can be saved by the tractor during operation is calculated as follows:

[0098] The power of a medium-sized agricultural tractor is generally 30-100 horsepower (22.1-73.5kW), and the power generation efficiency of a hydrogen fuel cell is 40-50%. The mass of water produced is calculated based on a 35kW medium-sized tractor and a fuel cell efficiency of 50%. The total power of a hydrogen fuel cell is

[0099]

[0100] It is known that the calorific value q of hydrogen is 1.4×10 5 kJ / kg, then the flow rate of hydrogen is G H2 for

[0101]

[0102] The amount of hydrogen consumed in one hour of operation is

[0103]

[0104] According to the chemical reaction formula

[0105] 2H 2 +O 2 =2H 2 O

[0106] Then the amount of water n is 0.9 mol, and its mass m is

[0107] m=n×M=0.9mol×18kg / mol=16.2kg

[0108] In summary, the tractor saves 16.2kg / h of water.

[0109] The energy saving calculation of the carburetor in the tractor is as follows:

[0110] The heat flow q required to vaporize liquid hydrogen at -253℃ into gas at 25℃ 1 for

[0111] q 1 =GΔh+c H2 GΔT H2

[0112] =0.0005kg / s×[450kJ / kg+13kJ / kg℃×(20+253)℃]=2kW

[0113] Where G is the mass flow rate of hydrogen, Δ9 is the latent heat of vaporization of liquid hydrogen, c H2 is the average constant-pressure specific heat capacity of hydrogen, ΔT H2 It is the temperature difference before and after the hydrogen heat exchange.

[0114] The heat flow rate q required to cool 80℃ water to 25℃ cooling water 2 for

[0115] q 2 =c w G w ΔT w

[0116] =4.2kJ / kg℃×0.01kg / s×(80-28)℃=2.184kW

[0117] Originally, additional energy was required to vaporize liquid hydrogen and cool circulating water. Now, the heat exchange between the two streams can be satisfied by setting up a heat exchanger between the streams. The results of designing the heat exchanger using ASPEN PLUS software are shown in the following table. Since the latent heat of evaporation of liquid hydrogen is small and the phase change in the heat exchanger is relatively complex, the hydrogen inlet temperature is taken as -250℃. This approximation has little effect on the final result. The specific parameters are shown in the following table.

[0118]

[0119] Although the embodiments of the present invention are described above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, the present invention is not limited to the above specific embodiments and application fields, and the above specific embodiments are only illustrative and instructive, rather than restrictive. A person of ordinary skill in the art can also make many forms under the guidance of this specification and without departing from the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention, all of which belong to the protection of the present invention.
