Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of hydrogen storage containers, in particular to a hydrogen storage container and a hydrogen-powered vehicle. BACKGROUND

[0002] Hydrogen energy has many advantages such as cleanliness, high efficiency, and renewability, and is a new type of energy that is widely concerned all over the world. Hydrogen fuel, as a typical representative of hydrogen energy application, has many advantages such as high efficiency, environmental protection, small volume, and light weight, and shows good application prospects in the field of transportation and the like.

[0003] At present, high-pressure hydrogen storage has gradually become the choice of new energy vehicle enterprises powered by hydrogen energy because of its relatively mature technology and small conversion efficiency and energy loss in the storage process. High-pressure hydrogen storage needs to be carried out at a pressure of 30 MPa or more, and a hydrogen storage container is usually made of a metal material with high strength. When hydrogen molecules in the hydrogen storage container contact the metal surface, there is an adsorption process, and the adsorption energy and binding energy of hydrogen atoms on the metal surface are relatively low, so there is a certain probability that hydrogen molecules will decompose into hydrogen atoms. When hydrogen atoms are adsorbed on the metal surface and the adsorption surface is subjected to high gas pressure, hydrogen atoms gradually penetrate into the metal interior, and as more and more hydrogen atoms enter the metal interior, the concentration increases and diffuses to the interior of the entire metal material. The arrangement of hydrogen atoms gathered in the metal has some irregularities such as cracks, dislocations, impurities, cavities, and voids. Such aggregation causes uneven distribution of hydrogen atoms in the metal, and further causes uneven distribution of stress and mechanical strength, thereby causing the mechanical properties of the metal material to decrease and the brittleness to increase, and easily causing phenomena such as cracking, bubbling, and rupture. That is, when high-pressure hydrogen storage is carried out, the container is prone to hydrogen embrittlement, which causes the container material to rupture and become brittle, and further reduces the safety performance of the hydrogen-powered vehicle.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing high-pressure hydrogen storage container to solve the problem that the existing high-pressure hydrogen storage container is prone to hydrogen embrittlement, which causes the container material to rupture and become brittle, so as to improve the safety performance of the hydrogen-powered vehicle.

It should be noted that when a component is considered to be "connected" to another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there can be a component disposed therebetween.

[0036] The technical solutions of the present application will be further illustrated below in conjunction with the drawings and through specific embodiments.

[0037] Embodiment one:

[0038] With reference to Figures 1 to 3 , the present application provides a hydrogen storage container, which comprises an inner container 10, an outer container 20, a high-pressure gas layer 30 and a differential pressure control valve 40. The inner container 10 is used to store hydrogen gas, the outer container 20 is arranged on the periphery of the inner container 10, the high-pressure gas layer 30 is arranged between the inner container 10 and the outer container 20, and the differential pressure control valve 40 comprises a valve body 41 and a pressure piston valve block 42 arranged in the valve body 41. The valve body 41 is connected to the inner container 10 and the outer container 20, and the valve body 41 has a gas channel inside, which communicates with the outside of the container, the high-pressure gas layer 30 and the inner cavity of the inner container 10. The pressure piston valve block 42 is arranged in the gas channel, and one end of the pressure piston valve block 42 contacts the gas of the high-pressure gas layer 30, and the other end contacts the gas in the inner container 10. When the gas pressure in the inner container 10 is less than that of the high-pressure gas layer 30, the pressure piston valve block 42 can make the inner cavity of the inner container 10, the high-pressure gas layer 30 and the outside of the container not communicate with each other; when the gas pressure in the inner container 10 is greater than that of the high-pressure gas layer 30, a pressure difference is formed at both ends of the pressure piston valve block 42, and the pressure at the end contacting the gas in the inner container 10 is greater than that at the end contacting the high-pressure gas layer 30, so that the pressure piston valve block 42 moves along the gas channel close to the high-pressure gas layer 30, so that the inner cavity of the inner container 10 communicates with the outside of the container, and the gas in the inner container 10 is discharged outward.

[0039] It should be noted that the shapes of the inner container 10 and the outer container 20 can be, but are not limited to, spheres, cubes, cuboids, and the shapes of the inner container 10 and the outer container 20 can be the same or different. The shape of the inner container 10 and the shape of the outer container 20 of the present application are the same, and are both spherical.

[0040] With reference to Figures 1 to 2The valve body 41 has a first gas port 43 communicating with the outside of the container, a second gas port 44 communicating with the high-pressure gas layer 30, and a third gas port 45 communicating with the inner cavity of the inner container 10. The first gas port 43, the second gas port 44, and the third gas port 45 are in communication with each other through a gas channel in the valve body 41. The pressure piston valve block 42 is arranged in the gas channel. When the gas pressure in the inner container 10 is less than the high-pressure gas layer 30, the pressure piston valve block 42 makes the first gas port 43, the second gas port 44, and the third gas port 45 not communicate with each other. When the gas pressure in the inner container 10 is greater than the high-pressure gas layer 30, the pressure piston valve block 42 forms a pressure difference between the two ends, and the pressure of the end contacting the gas in the inner container 10 is greater than the pressure of the end contacting the high-pressure gas layer 30. The pressure piston valve block 42 moves towards the second gas port 44, so that the first gas port 43 and the third gas port 45 are in communication.

[0041] Referring to Figure 2 The valve body 41 has a first gas channel 411 and a second gas channel 412. The first gas channel 411 communicates the inner cavity of the inner container 10 with the outside of the container, and the second gas channel 412 communicates the inner cavity of the inner container 10 with the high-pressure gas layer 30. The pressure piston valve block 42 is arranged on the second gas channel 412, so that the high-pressure gas layer 30 and the inner cavity of the inner container 10 are not in communication. The first gas channel 411 and the second gas channel 412 have a junction, and the pressure piston valve block 42 is arranged at the junction to simultaneously block the first gas channel 411 and the second gas channel 412. One end of the pressure piston valve block 42 on the same axis contacts the gas of the high-pressure gas layer 30, and the other end contacts the gas in the inner container 10. When the gas pressure in the inner container 10 is greater than the high-pressure gas layer 30, the pressure piston valve block 42 moves in the second gas channel 412 towards the high-pressure gas layer 30 to make the first gas channel 411 pass through.

[0042] The pressure piston valve block 42 is provided with a through hole 46 in the same direction as the first air channel 411. When the pressure piston valve block 42 slides on the second air channel 412, the second air channel 412 can pass through the through hole 46. The second air channel 412 is provided with a first limiting protrusion 47 and a second limiting protrusion 48. When the air pressure in the inner container 10 is less than the high-pressure gas layer 30, the pressure piston valve block 42 is pushed by the gas of the high-pressure gas layer 30 to the second limiting protrusion 48. At this time, the through hole 46 is pushed out of the first air channel 411 with the pressure piston valve block 42, so that the first air channel 411 is not through. When the air pressure in the inner container 10 is greater than the high-pressure gas layer 30, a pressure difference is formed at both ends of the pressure piston valve block 42, and the pressure of the end contacting the gas in the inner container 10 is greater than the pressure of the end contacting the high-pressure gas layer 30. The pressure piston valve block 42 is pushed and moves along the second air channel 412 in the direction close to the high-pressure gas layer 30. At this time, the through hole 46 is pushed into the first air channel 411 with the pressure piston valve block 42, so that the first air channel 411 is through, and the gas in the inner container 10 is discharged to the outside of the container.

[0043] It should be noted that the section of the first air channel 411 close to the inner cavity of the inner container 10 and the section of the second air channel 412 close to the inner cavity of the inner container 10 can converge in the same air channel, or can be separated into independent air channels. In the embodiment of the present application, the section of the first air channel 411 close to the inner cavity of the inner container 10 and the section of the second air channel 412 close to the inner cavity of the inner container 10 converge in the same air channel.

[0044] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the materials of the inner container 10 and the outer container 20 are metal materials. Alternatively, the materials of the inner container 10 and the outer container 20 are one of stainless steel, aluminum alloy, steel, or titanium alloy. The gas of the high-pressure gas layer 30 is inert gas. Inert gas is not easy to combine with the material, that is, it is not easy to combine with the metal material of the inner container 10 and the outer container 20. The inert gas can provide high air pressure to the outer circumferential surface of the inner container 10 without damaging the inner container 10. At the same time, the existence of inert gas has a certain shield effect, which can reduce the mechanical contact between the inner container 10 and the outer container 20, reduce the possible wear and damage, and prolong the service life of the hydrogen storage container.

[0045] The hydrogen storage container provided by the patent application has the advantages that the hydrogen storage inner container 10 is always subjected to the gas pressure greater than the hydrogen gas pressure on the inner wall surface, the hydrogen storage inner container 10 is subjected to the hydrogen gas pressure difference between the inner wall surface and the outer wall surface reduced, the hydrogen embrittlement phenomenon of the metal material caused by the hydrogen absorption under the condition of the high hydrogen gas pressure difference is avoided, the diffusion rate of the hydrogen atom in the metal lattice is reduced, the possibility of the local hydrogen gas aggregation and the bubble generation is reduced, the hydrogen embrittlement phenomenon is reduced, the safety of the hydrogen storage container is improved, and the safety performance of the hydrogen power vehicle is improved.

[0046] Embodiment two

[0047] With reference to Figures 3 to 4 Compared with the hydrogen storage container provided in the embodiment one, the hydrogen storage container provided in the embodiment two is different in that the outer periphery of the outer container 20 is provided with a fiber winding layer 50. The fiber winding layer 50 has the following advantages: ① strength enhancement, the fiber winding layer 50 can increase the structural strength and pressure resistance of the outer container 20, effectively improve the overall strength of the hydrogen storage container, and reduce the risk of deformation and damage; ② impact resistance, the fiber material has good impact resistance, which can effectively reduce the influence of external impact force on the hydrogen storage container and increase the durability of the container; ③ corrosion resistance, certain fiber materials have good corrosion resistance, which can effectively prevent the container from being eroded by external environmental factors and prolong the service life of the container.

[0048] The hydrogen storage container provided in the embodiment further includes a first gas charging and discharging pipe 61 penetrating the inner wall of the outer container 20, a second gas charging and discharging pipe 62 penetrating the outer container 20 and the inner container 10, a gas collection bag 63 connected to the first gas port 43, and a pressure gauge 64 for measuring the pressure of the high-pressure gas layer 30. The inner cavity of the second gas charging and discharging pipe 62 is provided with a first electric valve 621 and a rubber ring 622.

[0049] Embodiment three

[0050] The hydrogen power vehicle provided in the embodiment further includes the hydrogen storage container.

[0051] Embodiment four

[0052] With reference to Figures 5 to 7 The charging gun provided in the embodiment is applied to the hydrogen power vehicle and includes a gun barrel 70 and a pressure regulating gas pipe 80. The outer periphery of the gun barrel 70 is provided with a groove ring 71 corresponding to the rubber ring 622.

[0053] The second electric valve 72 is arranged on the barrel 70, and is used for closing or opening the inflation gun to fill the hydrogen storage container of the hydrogen-powered vehicle with hydrogen gas.

[0054] The gas pressure sensing cavity 73 is communicated with the gun head of the barrel 70 through the induction gas pipe 74, and the gas pressure tablet 75 is arranged at one end of the gas pressure sensing cavity 73 close to the induction gas pipe 74. The gas pressure tablet 75 is movable in the gas pressure sensing cavity 73, and the gas on both sides of the gas pressure tablet 75 is not communicated. When the pressure regulating gas pipe 80 fills the gas pressure sensing cavity 73 with gas, so that the gas pressure of the gas pressure sensing cavity 73 is greater than the external gas pressure, the gas pressure tablet 75 moves to the connection position of the induction gas pipe 74 and the gas pressure sensing cavity 73, so that the gas pressure sensing cavity 73 is not communicated with the induction gas pipe 74.

[0055] The iron bar 76 is embedded on the inner wall of the gas pressure sensing cavity 73. When the gas pressure tablet 75 is at the connection position of the induction gas pipe 74 and the gas pressure sensing cavity 73, the gas pressure tablet 75 is not in contact with the iron bar 76. When the gas pressure tablet 75 is away from the connection position of the induction gas pipe 74 and the gas pressure sensing cavity 73, the gas pressure tablet 75 is not in contact with the iron bar 76.

[0056] The material of the gas pressure tablet 75 is conductive material, and the gas pressure tablet 75 is electrically connected with the second electric valve 72. The iron bar 76 is electrically connected with the second electric valve 72. When the gas pressure tablet 75 is not in contact with the iron bar 76, the second electric valve 72 is closed.

[0057] Embodiment five:

[0061] S30, filling the gas pressure sensing cavity 73 with gas through the pressure regulating gas pipe 80, so that the gas pressure of the gas pressure sensing cavity 73 reaches the preset gas pressure of the gas pressure sensing cavity 73;

[0062] S40, inserting the barrel 70 into the second gas charging and discharging pipe 62, and making the rubber ring 622 in the second gas charging and discharging pipe 62 fit into the groove ring 71, so as to avoid hydrogen leakage or air entering during the charging;

[0063] S50, opening the first electric valve 621 and the second electric valve 72, so as to inject hydrogen into the hydrogen storage container;

[0064] S60, when the gas pressure in the hydrogen storage container is greater than the gas pressure in the gas pressure sensing cavity 73, the gas pressure tablet 75 is away from the joint of the sensing gas pipe 74 and the gas pressure sensing cavity 73 and contacts the iron bar 76, the second electric valve 72 is closed, and the first electric valve 621 is closed.

[0065] Preferably, the sensing gas pipe 74 can be elongated to the inside of the hydrogen storage container after the barrel 70 is inserted into the second gas charging and discharging pipe 62.

[0066] The implementation principle of the embodiment is that one side of the gas pressure tablet 75 contacts the hydrogen in the hydrogen storage container, and the other side contacts the gas in the gas pressure sensing cavity 73, the pressure difference between the two sides of the gas pressure tablet 75 makes the gas pressure tablet 75 move and contact the iron bar 76. When the gas pressure tablet 75 contacts the iron bar 76, on the one hand, it indicates that the hydrogen charging to the hydrogen storage container has reached a predetermined hydrogen charging amount, and on the other hand, the gas pressure tablet 75 contacts the iron bar 76 to close the valve of the gas charging gun and stop hydrogen charging.
