AI Technical Summary
Existing high-temperature gas pressure vessels are heavy and cannot be effectively used in high-temperature environments due to their all-metal design with equatorial flanges/boobs. Conventional composite material wound pressure vessels cannot adapt to high-temperature environments of around 300°C, and the wound blind area at the flange is relatively large.
The design incorporates a metal liner, a heat-insulating coating, a repair and polishing layer, and a fiber composite material layer, including an equatorial threaded boss reinforcement layer. This composite pressure vessel with an equatorial threaded boss for high-temperature gas is formed by winding. The combination of carbon fiber, glass fiber, and other materials with phthalic anhydride resin layers enhances the structure's high-temperature resistance.
This achieved weight reduction in the pressure vessel, improved high-temperature resistance, reduced winding blind spots, and ensured the reliability of the equatorial boss and the lightweight structure.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of pressure vessel structural design technology, specifically to a composite material pressure vessel with an equatorial threaded boss for high-temperature gas combustion. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of high-temperature gas combustion, the future development goal is low cost and high carrying capacity. To achieve this goal, the first challenge is structural weight reduction. Pressure vessels are key components for weight reduction in high-temperature gas combustion power systems and structural systems. Compared to all-metal pressure vessels, high-temperature composite material wound pressure vessels offer numerous advantages, including lighter weight, higher rigidity, higher structural efficiency, higher reliability, a leak-before-burst safety failure mode (LBB), greater designability, lower production costs, and shorter development cycles, making them an important development direction.
[0003] The existing Chinese patent application document with publication number CN105674040B includes a composite material shell, a mounting flange installed at the equator position of the composite material shell, an adhesive layer filling the gap between the composite material shell and the mounting flange, and a composite material layer wrapped around the outer surface of the mounting flange. The composite material shell is a thin-walled spherical structure with a thickness δ to diameter D ratio of less than 0.004.
[0004] In existing technologies, high-temperature gas systems, based on the characteristics of their functions, typically require pressure vessels to meet specific installation requirements. Conventional high-temperature gas systems use all-metal pressure vessels, usually with equatorial flange connections. Due to the requirements for linear continuity in the high-temperature composite material winding process, as well as the compatibility requirements between the high-temperature resin and the winding, equatorial threaded bosses are usually not available, and only clamps or end-fixing methods can be used.
[0005] In existing technologies, high-temperature pressure vessels with equatorial mounting bosses for high-temperature gas mainly employ all-metal pressure vessels with equatorial flanges / boobs. However, due to the significant performance degradation of metals at high temperatures, these designs are heavy. Pressure vessels with equatorial flanges and room-temperature composite material winding cannot withstand the high-temperature environment of approximately 300°C for gas, and the winding blind zone at the flange is relatively large, indicating areas for improvement.

Detailed Implementation
[0031] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to specific embodiments. These embodiments will help those skilled in the art to further understand the present invention, but do not limit the invention in any way. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several changes and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention. These all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0032] Example 1
[0033] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 As shown, a composite material pressure vessel with an equatorial threaded boss for high-temperature gas combustion according to the present invention includes a metal liner 1, a heat-insulating coating 2, a repair and finishing layer 3, and a fiber composite material layer 4. An equatorial threaded boss is provided in the center of the metal liner 1. The heat-insulating coating 2 is applied to the inner surface of the metal liner 1, the repair and finishing layer 3 is disposed on the outer surface of the metal liner 1, and the fiber composite material layer 4 is wound around the outer surface of the repair and finishing layer 3.
[0034] The fiber composite material layer 4 includes a circumferential composite material layer 41, an equatorial threaded boss reinforcing layer 42, an inner lining composite material layer 43, and an equatorial threaded boss S-shaped composite material layer 44. The circumferential composite material layer 41 is wrapped around the outer surface of the glue-repairing layer 3 around the root of the equatorial threaded boss. The equatorial threaded boss reinforcing layer 42 is coated and bonded to the area around the root of the equatorial threaded boss. The inner lining composite material layer 43 is wrapped around the outer surface of the metal inner lining 1. The equatorial threaded boss S-shaped composite material layer 44 is wrapped around the circumferential outer surface of the equatorial threaded boss.
[0035] Specifically, the metal liner 1 is spherical in shape and includes an upper shell 11, a connecting ring 12, and a lower shell 13, which are sequentially welded together. The metal liner 1 is made of aluminum alloy or titanium alloy, and the wall thickness of the metal inner wall is 0.5 mm to 1.5 mm. The connecting ring 12 has an annular structure and includes a number of circumferentially distributed equatorial threaded bosses. The diameter of the equatorial threaded bosses is determined by the load they bear. The equatorial threaded bosses are spaced apart on the connecting ring 12 along its circumference. The number of equatorial threaded bosses spaced apart on the connecting ring 12 along its circumference is an even number between 6 and 24, inclusive.
[0036] It is important to note that the spacing between any two adjacent equatorial thread bosses should be 120mm to 150mm. The spacing between adjacent equatorial thread bosses should not be too small to avoid severe fiber accumulation at the root of the equatorial thread boss during fiber entanglement, and to prevent large blind areas without fiber entanglement on both sides of the equatorial thread boss. A chamfer, not less than R2, should be provided around the root of the equatorial thread boss to prevent damage to the fibers during entanglement. The height H1 of the equatorial thread boss should not exceed 0.2mm, and the height of the bosses between the equatorial thread bosses of the connecting ring 12 should be as low as possible to avoid fiber bridging in the areas above and below the bosses during fiber entanglement.
[0037] Furthermore, the heat insulation coating 2 is a homogeneous, thin-film non-metallic material, which is bonded to the inner side of the metal liner 1 through a spraying and curing process, with a thickness of 0.2 mm to 1.5 mm, and can withstand temperatures above 300°C. The repair and polishing layer 3 includes a white carbon / polyetheramine curing agent layer; the thickness of the repair and polishing layer 3 is 0.1 mm to 0.3 mm.
[0038] The fiber composite layer 4 is made of one or more of the following materials: carbon fiber, glass fiber, and organic fiber. Furthermore, the circumferential composite layer 41, the inner lining composite layer 43, and the equatorial threaded boss S-shaped composite layer 44 are fiber / phthalic acid resin layers. The equatorial threaded boss reinforcing layer 42 is a cross-fiber cloth / phthalic acid resin layer.
[0039] The number of layers of the inner lining composite material layer 43 is determined by the bearing pressure of the pressure vessel, and the number of layers of the equatorial threaded boss reinforcement layer 42 is set to be 0.6 to 1 times the number of layers of the inner lining composite material layer 43.
[0040] The width of the circumferential composite layer 41 is determined by the height of the fiber winding blind zone in the upper and lower regions of the equatorial convexity. The width of the circumferential composite layer 41 is set to 1.1 to 1.3 times the height of the fiber winding blind zone.
[0041] The cross-fiber cloth of the equatorial threaded boss reinforcement layer 42 should be able to cover the fiber entanglement blind area of the equatorial boss. The length of the equatorial threaded boss reinforcement layer 42 is set to 1.3 to 1.5 times the height of the triangular area of the equatorial boss, and the width is set to 1.2 to 1.5 times the width of the equatorial threaded boss.
[0042] The technical solution of this application solves the problem of weight reduction for pressure vessels used for high-temperature gas, solves the problem of high temperature resistance of conventional composite material pressure vessels, reduces the winding blind area at the equatorial connecting lug, and has the characteristics of light weight, high temperature resistance, and high reliability of equatorial boss winding.
