TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the field of clean energy utilization and hydrogen solid storage technology, and relates to a solid-state hydrogen storage device with reinforced heat exchange, optimized wall stress and easy installation and removal. BACKGROUND
[0002] Hydrogen energy is a clean and efficient energy with high energy density and considerable application prospects. Due to the obvious safety problem of high-pressure hydrogen storage, solid-state alloy hydrogen storage technology has significant advantages and has developed rapidly. Its research mainly includes the preparation of efficient hydrogen storage materials, the optimization of hydrogen storage alloy medium form and device structure, etc. For example, Chinese patents 201910800746.3, 201910357763.4, 202310650489.6, etc.
[0003] When hydrogen storage alloy stores hydrogen, it releases heat and the metal lattice expands in volume. When it dehydrogenates, it absorbs heat and shrinks in volume, with an expansion and contraction rate of 20% to 30%, which can cause hydride particles to agglomerate and sinter into large particles. The agglomerated alloy can cause considerable stress on the wall of the hydrogen storage container and have a considerable impact on the hydrogen storage and release effect.
[0004] Adding heat-conducting porous expanded graphite to the hydrogen storage alloy can alleviate the above problems, but it also causes the hydrogen storage medium to be easily pulverized. Pressing the mixed powder of the hydrogen storage alloy with added expanded graphite and a binder into an alloy tablet can reduce the impact of alloy pulverization, but the expansion of the tablet also requires space and is accompanied by stress problems, and the possible fragmentation problem also needs to be considered. The hydrogen storage alloy medium and the device structure are also particularly important for the temperature influence and stability of the hydrogen storage medium. In this regard, patent 202211448969.6 discloses a high-thermal-conductivity and high-stability hydrogen storage alloy bed body for a hydrogen storage tank and a preparation process, which presses the hydrogen storage alloy into tablets to improve thermal conductivity and durability. Patent 201911128976.6 discloses a metal hydride hydrogen storage container with easy disassembly and effective heat exchange, which forms a sliding channel to easily extract and replace the hydrogen storage alloy core cylinder, and forms an axial and radial water channel to cool the hydrogen storage alloy. Patent 202110880926.4 discloses a multi-platform compression type hydrogen storage device and a manufacturing method thereof, which places multiple hydrogen storage tanks with different pressures in a heat exchange box. Patent CN202310420676.5 discloses a solid-state hydrogen storage device with reinforced heat exchange and easy installation and removal, which enhances heat exchange in the form of tray and central outer wall double heat exchange and achieves the purpose of easy disassembly, but does not consider the space required for the expansion of the hydrogen storage alloy filler, which can cause considerable internal expansion stress. SUMMARY
[0005] To solve the above problems, the application provides a solid-state storage and release hydrogen device with reinforced heat exchange, optimized wall stress and easy installation and removal, which applies measures of optimized alloy layout and reinforced heat exchange, and the method is as follows: a hydrogen storage alloy mixed material with added binder and expanded graphite is pressed into a round pie-shaped filler structure under a certain pressure, and a heat transfer metal tray is padded below each solid-state hydrogen storage alloy filler to guide heat into or out of the filler, so as to meet different requirements of temperature and heat for rapid hydrogen release and rapid hydrogen storage of the hydrogen storage filler. The heat exchange of the device adopts a structure of spiral heat exchange pipes wound outside the metal tray array area in the pressure-bearing container and a middle shaft electric heating rod installed in the middle of the container, and heat is guided into (when hydrogen is released) or out of (when hydrogen is stored) the solid-state hydrogen storage alloy filler through the inner wall of the pressure-bearing container, the outer wall of the spiral heat exchange pipe, the heat transfer metal tray and the middle electric heating rod.

When the device is disassembled, the bottom threaded seal connected with the electric heating rod is unscrewed, the heat transfer metal trays are taken out one by one, and the whole solid-state hydrogen storage alloy filler of each layer is also taken out.

[0011] The heat transfer metal tray 14 and the circular solid-state hydrogen storage alloy filler 13 are respectively provided with cross-shaped pipe penetrating holes b22 and cross-shaped pipe penetrating holes a18 in the centers, and the sizes of the cross-shaped pipe penetrating holes b22 and the cross-shaped pipe penetrating holes a18 are greater than those of the cross-shaped protrusions 12; the heat transfer metal tray 14 and the solid-state hydrogen storage alloy filler 13 pass through the electric heating rod 1 and the cross-shaped protrusions 12 through the cross-shaped pipe penetrating holes b22 and the cross-shaped pipe penetrating holes a18; when the heat transfer metal tray 14 reaches the cross-shaped protrusions 12 of the corresponding layer, the heat transfer metal tray 14 is rotated so that the cross-shaped pipe penetrating holes b22 are not opposite to the cross-shaped protrusions 12, the heat transfer metal tray 14 is located on the cross-shaped protrusions 12 of the corresponding layer, and the length of the short side of the cross-shaped pipe penetrating holes b22 and the cross-shaped pipe penetrating holes a18 is less than that of the long rectangular column 25, so that the heat transfer metal tray 14 is clamped on the cross-shaped protrusions 12 of the corresponding layer when reaching the placement layer; the diameter of the heat transfer metal tray 14 is greater than that of the solid-state hydrogen storage alloy filler 13; the outer ring of the heat transfer metal tray 14 is provided with a rim downwardly to form a shaft sleeve section 21; the distance between the cross-shaped protrusions 12 of adjacent layers is greater than the length of the shaft sleeve section 21; the solid-state hydrogen storage alloy filler 13 is located on the upper surface of the heat transfer metal tray 14 and in the space formed by the shaft sleeve section 21 of the upper layer; the top end of the electric heating rod 1 is provided with a clamp 7 for fixing the solid-state hydrogen storage alloy filler 13 at the top end;
[0012] The spiral heat exchange pipe 4 is wound outside the cylindrical area formed by the N layers of heat transfer metal trays 14, the wall of the pressure-bearing heat exchange shell 5 is respectively provided with a heat exchange fluid outlet 15 and a heat exchange fluid inlet 6, which correspond to the positions of the bottom end and the top end of the spiral heat exchange pipe 4, and the bottom end and the top end of the spiral heat exchange pipe 4 are respectively connected with the heat exchange fluid outlet 15 and the heat exchange fluid inlet 6; the spiral heat exchange pipe 4 exchanges heat with the heat transfer metal tray 14, and the number of layers and the temperature of the fluid in the pipe of the spiral heat exchange pipe 4 can be changed according to the heat exchange requirement;
[0013] The upper head 8 is provided with a hydrogen inlet and outlet 9.
[0014] The beneficial effects of the present application are as follows:
[0015] 1. The method of using the double reinforced heat exchange of the container inner tray outer wrapping fluid spiral heat exchange tube and the middle axis electric heating rod, the heat exchange tube exchanges heat with the heat transfer metal tray, and through the heat conduction of the heat transfer metal tray, the heat is quickly conducted into (when releasing hydrogen) or conducted out (when storing hydrogen) from the hydrogen storage filler block area. The temperature rise and fall gradient of the hydrogen storage alloy medium is greatly reduced, and the service life of the hydrogen storage filler is prolonged.
[0016] 2. The cross-shaped protrusions on the electric heating rod separate the heat transfer metal tray and the solid-state hydrogen storage alloy filler in each layer, which reduces the air flow resistance and greatly increases the specific surface area of the hydrogen storage filler in contact with hydrogen, thereby improving the hydrogen storage / release rate.
[0017] 3. The size of the solid-state hydrogen storage alloy filler is smaller than the metal tray, and the separation of each layer of heat transfer metal tray and filler block leaves a space capacity for the expansion of the hydrogen storage alloy medium, which allows the hydrogen storage alloy medium block to freely expand in the radial and axial directions during hydrogen storage, reduces internal stress, and prevents the alloy from being squeezed and clumped, thereby avoiding affecting the hydrogen storage / release rate and prolonging the service life of the hydrogen storage medium. The hydrogen absorption expansion of the alloy filler block leaves enough space, increases the service life of the filler block, and optimizes the internal stress.
[0018] 4. Due to the support of the heat transfer metal tray between layers and the reduction of temperature rise and fall and temperature gradient, the hydrogen storage alloy medium filler is not easy to break and has a long service life. The metal tray is cylindrical, which increases the contact area with the spiral heat exchange tube and can catch the broken block or powder alloy in case of accidental breakage of the alloy block, preventing the agglomeration of the alloy or affecting the internal structure of the container.
[0019] 5. Moreover, the layered and discrete combination of the solid-state hydrogen storage alloy filler and the heat transfer metal tray makes the operation of filling or pulling out the filler simple, and the replacement of part or all of the hydrogen storage filler is quite easy.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0025] The specific embodiments of the present application are further described below in combination with the drawings and technical solutions.
[0026] As shown in the drawings, the solid-state hydrogen storage device of the present application is characterized in that the device is provided with a pressure-bearing heat exchange shell 5 for bearing hydrogen gas pressure, an upper head 8, a lower head 2 for jointly packaging internal components, and the device is vertically placed during use. Figure 1 The internal components include N solid-state hydrogen storage alloy fillers 13, N heat transfer metal trays 14, an electric heating rod 1 with N layers of cross-shaped protrusions 12, and a spiral heat exchange tube 4.
[0027] As shown in the drawings, the solid-state hydrogen storage device of the present application is characterized in that the device is provided with a pressure-bearing heat exchange shell 5 for bearing hydrogen gas pressure, an upper head 8, a lower head 2 for jointly packaging internal components, and the device is vertically placed during use. Figure 1 As shown in the drawings, the solid-state hydrogen storage device of the present application is characterized in that the device is provided with a pressure-bearing heat exchange shell 5 for bearing hydrogen gas pressure, an upper head 8, a lower head 2 for jointly packaging internal components, and the device is vertically placed during use.
[0028] As shown in Figures 2(a) and 2(b), N solid hydrogen storage alloy fillers 13 are all made into uniform thick circular block structures, with a central cross-shaped through-hole a18 machined on each block. As shown in Figures 3(a) and 3(b), N heat transfer metal trays 14 have their edges thickened and protruded downwards to form bushing sections 21, with the remaining parts forming support sections 20. A cross-shaped through-hole b22 is machined in the center. The dimensions of both the cross-shaped through-hole a18 and the cross-shaped through-hole b22 are slightly larger than the cross-shaped protrusion 12 on the electric heating rod 1. The shorter side of both the cross-shaped through-hole a18 and the cross-shaped through-hole b22 is shorter than the long rectangular column 25 of the cross-shaped protrusion 12, making it convenient for the heat transfer metal tray 14 to be secured to the corresponding layer's cross-shaped protrusion 12 when it reaches the placement layer. The bottom of the heat transfer metal tray 14 is provided with a tray fixing protrusion 19, which is used to lock into the cross-shaped protrusion 12 after rotation, preventing the heat transfer metal tray 14 from rotating on its own after installation and causing the tray to pass through the cross-shaped protrusion 12. The spacing between the tray fixing protrusions 19 is slightly larger than the width of the cross protrusions 12, so they are not completely locked in place.

For easy loading and unloading, two triangular supports 11 are welded at the same height on both sides of the pressure heat exchange shell 5. The two triangular supports 11 are 180° in the radial direction to support the entire device during loading and unloading. A square component 17 for loading and unloading is welded to the bottom of the lower head 2 to facilitate loading and unloading with a wrench.

The length of the long section (excluding the through-hole) of the cross-shaped through-hole b22 ranges from 3 to 20 mm, the length of the short section (excluding the through-hole) ranges from 1.5 to 10 mm, and the width ranges from 2 to 10 mm. The inner diameter of the bushing section 21 is larger than the diameter of the solid hydrogen storage alloy packing 13, and the size ranges from 20 to 220 mm. Its outer diameter is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the ring formed by the spiral heat exchange tube 4, and the size ranges from 22 to 230 mm.
[0032] The outer diameter of the ring formed by the spiral heat exchange tube 4 is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the pressure heat exchange shell 5, with a size range of 28 to 250 mm. The diameter of the cross-shaped through-hole a18 of the solid hydrogen storage alloy packing 13 is the same as the diameter of the cross-shaped through-hole b22 of the heat transfer metal tray 14. The thickness of the solid hydrogen storage alloy packing 13 is less than the height of the bushing section 21 of the heat transfer metal tray 14, with a thickness range of 3 to 37 mm. The number N of the solid hydrogen storage alloy packing 13 ranges from 1 to 30 pieces.
[0033] N heat transfer metal trays 14, the thickness of the annular area of which ranges from 1 to 8 mm, the spacing between each adjacent layer of the cross protrusions 12 on the electric heating rod 1 is 6 to 60 mm, and the number of layers is consistent with the number of solid hydrogen storage alloy fillers 13, which is 1 to 30 layers.
[0034] N heat transfer metal trays 14, with 8 protrusions machined on the lower surface of the support section 20 corresponding to the outer area of the central cross-shaped through-hole b22. During loading or unloading, the heat transfer metal trays 14 can be rotated and locked in place with the cross-shaped protrusions 12. The heat transfer metal trays 14 and solid hydrogen storage alloy filler 13 can be pushed or pulled out by the electric heating rod 1, thus achieving its easy loading and unloading characteristics.
[0035] The pressure heat exchange shell 5, the upper end cap 8, and the threaded section 3 of the pressure heat exchange shell are all welded and ground.

[0036] The electric heating rod 1 is installed concentrically with the lower end cap 2. One way to achieve this concentricity is to drill a hole in the center of the lower end cap 2 and then weld the heating rod onto the lower end cap 2.
[0037] The upper end of the electric heating rod 1 is closed, and the lower end is the power-on end 27 with wires leading out, which is used to heat the solid hydrogen storage alloy filler 13 when hydrogen is released.
[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention discloses a solid-state hydrogen storage and release device with enhanced heat exchange, optimized wall stress, and easy assembly / disassembly. Its operation is as follows: During hydrogen storage, hydrogen gas is introduced into the device through the hydrogen inlet / outlet 9. Hydrogen atoms embed into the crystal lattice of the alloy material in the solid hydrogen storage alloy filler 13 to generate metal hydrides, simultaneously releasing heat. During hydrogen release, by absorbing heat, the hydrogen gas decomposes with the solid hydrogen storage alloy filler 13, thus releasing the hydrogen gas.
