[0002] A fuel cell is a power generation device that converts chemical energy in fuel and oxidant into electrical energy through electrochemical reaction. Currently, solid-state hydrogen storage is a common hydrogen storage method in fuel cells. Alloy hydrogen storage tanks provide gas sources for fuel cells in specific environments. The hydrogen storage density of the alloy hydrogen storage tank is particularly important in relation to its jolting density, and its own weight is also closely related to the weight control point in the loading process. These parameters are important indicators affecting the development of solid-state hydrogen storage technology.

[0003] Currently, the performance evaluation and test of the jolting density of the alloy hydrogen storage tank loading are mainly relied on on-site experimenters, which requires a large number of personnel to cooperate. Due to the complex on-site environment and the large number of personnel, the loading quality control point is not accurate, which causes the alloy hydrogen storage tank to be overfilled or underfilled during the loading process, affecting the overall jolting density of the alloy hydrogen storage tank, and even greatly affecting the estimation of the rated hydrogen storage capacity and the required load bearing in the later stage.

[0004] Secondly, the existing hydrogen storage tank loading and jolting device has certain problems. For example, a Chinese invention patent with the patent number 202111425331.6 discloses a hydrogen storage tank loading and jolting device and a method thereof. The loading method in the patent is vertical to the ground, and the jolting method is vertical up and down. After the device is jolted, the finer particles in the alloy hydrogen storage tank are concentrated at the bottom of the alloy hydrogen storage tank, causing the bottom jolting density to be too large, the overall jolting density of the tank body to be uneven, and the stress to be concentrated at the bottom of the hydrogen storage tank during the later activation process, which seriously affects the service life of the hydrogen storage tank.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a hydrogen storage tank loading and jolting device and a method thereof to solve the problems of the existing hydrogen storage tank loading and jolting device, such as the bottom jolting density being too large, the overall jolting density of the hydrogen storage tank being uneven, the stress being concentrated at the bottom of the hydrogen storage tank, the low efficiency of on-site loading, and the low safety of on-site loading.

[0033] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application is further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and do not limit the present application.

[0034] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 , the present application provides a hydrogen storage tank filling and jolting equipment and a using method thereof, which comprises a feeding unit 1, a hydrogen storage tank 2, a vibrating sleeve 3, a vibrating member 4, a support 5, a transmission unit 6 and a controller 7. The controller 7 is electrically connected with the feeding unit 1. The feeding unit 1 is used for feeding the hydrogen storage tank 2. The upper end of the hydrogen storage tank 2 is rotationally connected with the support 5. The lower end of the hydrogen storage tank 2 is arranged in the vibrating sleeve 3. A plurality of vibrating members 4 are arranged in the vibrating sleeve 3 along the height direction and the circumferential direction of the hydrogen storage tank 2. The plurality of vibrating members 4 are electrically connected with the controller 7 through a vibrating stress meter 8. The vibrating stress meter 8 is used for adjusting the rotating speed, the acceleration and the time parameter of the vibrating member 4. A gravity sensor 9 in the vibrating sleeve 3 is electrically connected with the controller 7. The gravity sensor 9 is used for measuring the weight of the hydrogen storage tank 2 and the material to be jolted. The transmission unit 6 is connected with the vibrating sleeve 3. It is used for driving the axis of the hydrogen storage tank 2 to switch between the vertical and the inclined. The controller 7 is used for receiving the sensing signal of the gravity sensor 9, so as to control the feeding of the feeding unit 1 or the vibration of the vibrating member 4.

[0035] The hydrogen storage tank filling and vibrating device provided by the application has the following advantages: during use, when the controller 7 receives a signal that the gravity sensor 9 does not reach a set value, i.e. the hydrogen storage tank 2 is empty, the controller 7 controls the feeding unit 1 to feed the hydrogen storage tank 2, and the vibrating member 4 does not vibrate; when the controller 7 receives another signal that the gravity sensor 9 does not reach a set value, i.e. a certain amount of material to be vibrated has been put into the hydrogen storage tank 2, the gravity sensor 9 measures the weight of the hydrogen storage tank 2 and the material to be vibrated, then the controller 7 controls the feeding unit 1 to stop feeding the hydrogen storage tank 2, and then controls the vibrating stress instrument 8 to adjust the rotating speed, acceleration and time parameters of the vibrating member 4; when the gravity sensor 9 measures that the weight of the hydrogen storage tank 2 and the material to be vibrated reaches a certain value, the controller 7 controls the transmission unit 6 to push the vibrating sleeve 3 and the hydrogen storage tank 2 to different inclination angles, and the controller 7 starts the vibrating member 4 at the corresponding height and position to vibrate; the above steps of feeding and vibrating are repeated until the signal of the gravity sensor 9 reaches the set value, the controller 7 controls the feeding unit 1 and the vibrating member 4 to stop working, and the hydrogen storage tank 2 completes the filling and vibrating work.

[0036] In the embodiment, the hydrogen storage tank 2 is internally provided with a heat exchange structure 21, and the hydrogen storage tank 2 further has a gas guide pipe 22.

[0037] It should be noted that, since the alloy powder will undergo exothermic and endothermic processes in the later activation process, the addition of the heat exchange structure 21 can accelerate the heat exchange process, so that the alloy powder in the hydrogen storage tank 2 can endotherm and exotherm more uniformly.

[0038] The material that can be vibrated in the hydrogen storage tank 2 is TiFe, TiFe 0.9 Mn 0.1 , LaNi5, TiMn2, MgNi2, vanadium-based solid solution and other metal hydrogen storage materials, which can be in the state of powder, granule and irregular block structure.

[0039] In an embodiment, the hydrogen storage tank 2 is made of 304 stainless steel material, the heat exchange structure 21 is made of red copper fin material, and the gas guide pipe 22 is made of 52 powder metallurgy porous material. The hydrogen storage tank 2 is in a cylindrical shape.

[0040] It should be noted that, since the alloy powder filled in the hydrogen storage tank 2 occupies the whole space, it is difficult for the gas to transfer from the head of the hydrogen storage tank 2 to the tail, therefore, the gas guide pipe 22 is added to provide a channel for gas transmission, so that the gas can flow quickly in the hydrogen storage tank 2, the later test is accelerated, and the vibrating efficiency is improved.

[0041] In one embodiment, a clamp 51 is rotatably provided inside the bracket 5, the clamp 51 is fixedly connected to the hydrogen storage tank 2, and a washer 52 is provided between the clamp 51 and the inner wall of the hydrogen storage tank 2.

[0042] Specifically, the clamp 51 is formed by two semi-circular ring blocks, each of which is equipped with a rotating shaft. The two rotating shafts are rotatably mounted on the bracket 5. The washer 52 is an elastic rubber washer. By setting the washer 52, the clamp 51 can be securely fixed to the hydrogen storage tank 2.

[0043] In this specific embodiment, a base 10 is also included, and an arc-shaped slide rail 101 is provided inside the base 10. The vibration sleeve 3 is in contact with the arc-shaped slide rail 101. When the axis of the hydrogen storage tank 2 is perpendicular to the horizontal ground, the axis of the hydrogen storage tank 2 passes through the lowest point of the arc-shaped slide rail 101.

[0044] It should be noted that the arc-shaped slide rail 101 is composed of multiple rollers rotatably disposed within the base 10, with the multiple rollers spaced apart and their axes parallel to each other.

[0045] In one embodiment, the transmission unit 6 is an electric push rod. Of course, in other embodiments, the transmission unit 6 can also be a pneumatic cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder. Specifically, when the amount of powder inside the hydrogen storage tank 2 reaches a certain value and height, the controller 7 starts the transmission unit 6 to push or stretch the vibration sleeve 3 so that the hydrogen storage tank 2 is at different tilt angles. The transmission unit 6 pushes forward and stretches backward, and the middle position is the middle stroke of the electric push rod.

[0046] The method of using the hydrogen storage tank filling and compaction equipment in any of the above embodiments includes the following steps:

[0047] S1: When the gravity sensor 9 does not reach a set value, the controller 7 controls the feeding unit 1 to feed the hydrogen storage tank 2, and the vibrating element 4 does not vibrate.

[0048] S2: When the controller 7 senses another sensing signal that the gravity sensor 9 has not reached the set value, the controller 7 first controls the feeding unit 1 to stop feeding the hydrogen storage tank 2, and then controls the vibration stress meter 8 to adjust the rotation speed, acceleration and time parameters of the vibrating element 4, and the vibrating element 4 begins to drive the hydrogen storage tank 2 to vibrate.

[0049] S3: After the gravity sensor 9 detects that the weight of the hydrogen storage tank 2 and the material to be vibrated reaches a certain value, the controller 7 controls the transmission unit 6 to push the vibration sleeve 3 and the hydrogen storage tank 2 to different tilt angles, and the controller 7 activates the vibration component 4 at the corresponding height and position for vibration.

[0050] S4: the controller 7 repeats the above S1 and S3 steps based on the sensing signal of the time parameter of the vibration stress meter 8;

[0051] S5: when the sensing signal of the gravity sensor 9 reaches the set value, the controller 7 controls the feeding unit 1 and the vibrator 4 to stop working, and the charging and jolting work of the hydrogen storage tank 2 is completed.

[0052] In an embodiment, taking TiFe hydrogen storage alloy as an example, the use method of the hydrogen storage tank charging and jolting device of the embodiment of the present application is as follows in combination with specific application parameters:

[0053] Reference Figure 1 As shown, according to the process requirements, the quantitative alloy powder is put into the hydrogen storage tank 2 at time intervals, about 25-30 kg of quantitative alloy powder enters the hydrogen storage tank 2 through the feeding unit 1 in the first stage, when the weight in the hydrogen storage tank 2 reaches the first mass control point (i.e. the gravity sensor 9 senses the sensing signal), the gravity sensor 9 transmits its signal to the controller 7, and the controller 7 controls the feeding unit 1 to stop feeding; when the feeding unit 1 stops feeding, the first stage jolting is carried out, the controller 7 controls the vibration stress meter 8 to prepare the first stage jolting at a speed of 2000-2200 r / min, an acceleration of 0.8-1.1 m / s, and a vibration time of 5 minutes, the parameters such as the acceleration, speed and jolting time of the first stage preparation jolting are set, and then the controller 7 drives the vibrator 4 to drive the hydrogen storage tank 2 to jolt, when the vibration stress meter 8 sets the vibration time, the first stage jolting stops, and the gas guide pipe 22 is inserted into the hydrogen storage tank 2 (as shown in Figure 2 ).

[0054] The vibration member 4 drives the hydrogen storage tank 2 to carry out the first stage vibration compaction, and then the vibration stress instrument 8 feeds back an end signal to the controller 7, the controller 7 controls the vibration member 4 to stop vibrating, and the second stage about 170-225KG alloy powder enters the hydrogen storage tank 2 through the feeding unit 1, when the weight in the hydrogen storage tank 2 reaches the first mass control point (i.e. the gravity sensor 9 senses the sensing signal), the gravity sensor 9 transmits the signal to the controller 7, and the controller 7 controls the feeding unit 1 to stop feeding; when the feeding unit 1 stops feeding, the controller 7 controls the transmission unit 6 to push the vibration sleeve 3, drives the hydrogen storage tank 2 to run forward on the arc-shaped slide rail 101, and moves to 90° with the vertical angle, and then carries out the second stage first process vibration compaction, the controller 7 controls the vibration stress instrument 8 to carry out the second stage vibration compaction preparation, the rotation speed is 4200-4400r / min, the acceleration is 1.9-2.2m / s, and the vibration time is 5 minutes; after the above vibration ends, the controller 7 controls the transmission unit 6 to push the vibration sleeve 3, drives the hydrogen storage tank 2 to restore to the middle stroke on the arc-shaped slide rail 101; then, the third stage about 180-250KG alloy powder continues the above operation to enter the hydrogen storage tank 2, and then carries out the third stage vibration compaction, i.e. the rotation speed is 4000-4200r / min, the acceleration is 2.0-2.4m / s, and the vibration time is 8 minutes;

[0055] After the above vibration ends, the fourth stage about 500-550KG alloy powder continues the above operation to enter the hydrogen storage tank 2, and then carries out the fourth stage two processes vibration compaction, i.e. the rotation speed is 5600-5800r / min, the acceleration is 6.6-6.9m / s, and the vibration time is 15 minutes;

[0056] After the above vibration ends, the fifth stage about 180-220KG alloy powder continues the above operation to enter the hydrogen storage tank 2, and then carries out the fifth stage two processes vibration compaction, i.e. the rotation speed is 5800-6000r / min, the acceleration is 10.0-11.0m / s, and the vibration time is 20 minutes;

[0057] After the above vibration ends, the sixth stage about 250-280KG alloy powder continues the above operation to enter the hydrogen storage tank 2, and then carries out the sixth stage two processes vibration compaction, i.e. the rotation speed is 6000-6200r / min, the acceleration is 12.5-13.5m / s, and the vibration time is 20 minutes;

[0058] After the above vibration ends, the seventh stage about 300-315KG of alloy powder continues the above operation into the hydrogen storage tank 2, and then the seventh stage two processes of jarring are carried out, namely the rotating speed is 6600-6800r / min, the acceleration is 25.2-26.5m / s, and the vibration time is 30 minutes;

[0059] After the above vibration ends, the eighth stage about 250-270KG of alloy powder continues the above operation into the hydrogen storage tank 2, and then the eighth stage two processes of jarring are carried out, namely the rotating speed is 7200-7400r / min, the acceleration is 42.5-44.0m / s, and the vibration time is stopped after the vibration of the last stage is completed (the jarring time of the last stage is determined according to the actual situation).

[0060] When the jarring work of the last stage is completed and the sensing value of the gravity sensor 9 reaches the total mass required by the loading process, the loading and jarring work of the hydrogen storage tank 2 is completed.

[0061] As each stage has a fixed powder loading weight, this provides a basis for accurate weight statistics later, and also ensures that the overall weight is within a reasonable range of the design structure. In addition, each process improves the vibration mode and optimizes the jarring parameters, which ensures that the alloy powder in the hydrogen storage tank is at a uniform jarring density as the weight gradually increases. If the above operation steps are not followed, the total amount of alloy powder in the tank may not reach the expected target, and the overall jarring density may deviate, either too large or too small, or concentrated at the bottom, causing stress concentration, affecting the later activation test, and thus causing changes in hydrogen storage density.

[0062] However, due to the requirements of the loading and jarring process, the loading amount of each stage and the parameters required for jarring are different, so the controller 7 needs to set the total powder loading parameters of each stage fed back by the gravity sensor 9 in advance, and also program and set the jarring parameters of each stage in the vibration stress instrument 8. The device of the application has the advantage of being able to adjust in time according to the actual jarring density requirement, that is, it can automatically control the jarring density of the hydrogen storage tank 2. The device can not only ensure accurate control of the weight control point during the powder loading process, but also ensure the accuracy of the jarring density during the powder loading process of each stage. Most importantly, it changes the problem of uneven jarring density and stress concentration at the tail, and provides great reference value for the later accurate calculation of the rated hydrogen storage capacity of the hydrogen storage tank 2 and the required device bearing capacity.
