[0027] Example 1

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown;

[0029] A natural gas hydrogen mixing device for a gas turbine includes a regulating tank 1. A hydrogen channel 2 and a gas channel 3 are respectively provided on the upper and lower sides of one side of the regulating tank 1. A mixed gas channel 4 is provided at the bottom of the other side of the regulating tank 1. A first one-way ventilation component 5 and a second one-way ventilation component 6 are respectively provided inside the hydrogen channel 2 and the gas channel 3; a first movable plate 7 is provided at one end of the first one-way ventilation component 5, a second movable plate 8 is provided at one end of the second one-way ventilation component 6, a contact switch 9 is provided on the side of the second movable plate 8 close to the second movable plate 8, and a storage tank 10 connected to the hydrogen channel 2 is provided on the top; a support seat 11 is provided at the bottom of the regulating tank 1, and a first baffle 12 and a second baffle 13 are provided inside the regulating tank 1 from left to right.

[0030] It should be noted that: in this embodiment, a safety valve is provided at the bottom of the storage tank 10, and when the hydrogen pressure in the storage tank 10 exceeds the safety value, the safety valve is used to actively discharge the hydrogen; the ends of the hydrogen channel 2, the fuel gas channel 3 and the mixed gas channel 4 are all provided with flanges, which facilitates detachable connection with external equipment or pipelines.

[0031] In this embodiment: hydrogen and fuel gas enter the regulating tank 1 through the hydrogen channel 2 and the fuel gas channel 3 respectively and are mixed, wherein the first one-way ventilation component 5 can not only ensure the priority use of hydrogen, but also prevent the fuel gas from flowing back when there is no hydrogen. At the same time, the mutual cooperation between the first movable plate 7 and the second movable plate 8 can prevent excessive hydrogen, and the excess hydrogen will be temporarily stored in the storage tank 10 and automatically replenished when the hydrogen amount decreases. This embodiment solves the problems of a large proportion of hydrogen mixing and waste of direct hydrogen discharge.

[0032] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown;

[0033] In an optional embodiment, the first one-way vent assembly 5 includes a first sealing plug 501 disposed inside the central portion of the hydrogen channel 2. A first vent hole 502 is defined in the central portion of the first sealing plug 501. A first telescopic rod 503 is disposed on one side of the first sealing plug 501. A first sealing ball 504 is disposed at one end of the first telescopic rod 503, which abuts the first sealing plug 501. A first limiting plate 505 is disposed in the central portion of each of the first telescopic rods 503. A first movable plate 7 is disposed at one end of the first telescopic rod 503. A first tension spring 506 is disposed between the first movable plate 7 and the inner wall of the regulating tank 1.

[0034] In an optional embodiment, the second one-way ventilation assembly 6 includes a second sealing plug 601 arranged on the inner side of the middle part of the gas channel 3, a second ventilation hole 602 is opened in the middle of the second sealing plug 601, a second telescopic rod 603 is provided on one side of the second sealing plug 601, and a second sealing ball 604 abutting against the second sealing plug 601 is provided at one end of the second telescopic rod 603, a second limiting plate 605 is provided in the middle part of the second telescopic rod 603, a second movable plate 8 is provided at one end of the second telescopic rod 603, a second tension spring 606 is provided between the second movable plate 8 and the inner wall of the regulating tank 1, the aperture of the first ventilation hole 502 is smaller than the diameter of the first sealing ball 504, and the aperture of the second ventilation hole 602 is smaller than the diameter of the second sealing ball 604, and a through hole 14 is opened on the outer side of the circumference of the first limiting plate 505 and the second limiting plate 605.

[0035] In this embodiment, hydrogen pushes the first sealing ball 504 away from the first sealing plug 501, and the first telescopic rod 503 is extended and retracted. At this time, the first tension spring 506 is stretched, and hydrogen enters the regulating tank 1 along the first vent hole 502 and the through hole 14. The fuel gas enters in the same way.

[0036] It should be noted that the cross-sections of the first telescopic rod 503 and the second telescopic rod 603 are both rectangular structures, and the middle portions of the first limiting plate 505 and the second limiting plate 605 are both provided with rectangular notches.

[0037] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown;

[0038] In an optional embodiment, the storage tank 10 is connected to the hydrogen channel 2 through the air inlet pipe 15 and the air outlet pipe 16, respectively, and the air inlet pipe 15 and the air outlet pipe 16 are respectively located on both sides of the first sealing plug 501, and an air pump 17 electrically connected to the contact switch 9 is provided in the middle of the air inlet pipe 15, and a sealing assembly 18 is provided at the bottom of the air outlet pipe 16. The interior of the storage tank 10 is provided with an air storage bag 19 connected to the air inlet pipe 15 and the air outlet pipe 16, and a compression spring 20 is provided between the top of the air storage bag 19 and the inner wall of the storage tank 10. The sealing assembly 18 includes a limit sleeve 1801, and a sealing rod 1802 is vertically provided in the middle of the limit sleeve 1801. The top of the first telescopic rod 503 is provided with a wedge block 1803 that abuts the bottom of the sealing rod 1802.

[0039] In this embodiment: the vacuum pump 17 has a sealing function, which can prevent gas backflow when it is not working. The air storage bag 19 is a retractable structure, and the compression spring 20 can completely compress the air storage bag 19. When the amount of hydrogen decreases, the first tension spring 506 drives the first telescopic rod 503 to reset. At the same time, the wedge block 1803 squeezes the sealing rod 1802 and drives it to rise. The sealing rod 1802 leaves the top of the limiting sleeve 1801, and the compression spring 20 squeezes the air storage bag 19 and discharges the hydrogen therein into the hydrogen channel 2 through the hole on the limiting sleeve 1801.

[0040] It should be noted that the top of the limit sleeve 1801 is an inverted cone structure, and the top of the sealing rod 1802 can seal the top of the limit sleeve 1801 under the action of gravity. The cross-section of the wedge block 1803 is a trapezoidal structure, and the height of the top of the wedge block 1803 gradually increases in the direction away from the first sealing ball 504.

[0041] In an optional embodiment, avoidance grooves are provided between the first baffle 12 and the inner bottom end of the regulating tank 1 and between the second baffle 13 and the inner top end of the regulating tank 1 .

[0042] In this embodiment, the mixed gas in the regulating tank 1 passes through the bottom of the first baffle 12 and the top of the second baffle 13 in sequence and is discharged to the gas turbine through the mixed gas channel 4.

[0043] The working principle and use process of the present invention are as follows: hydrogen and fuel gas enter the regulating tank 1 through the hydrogen channel 2 and the fuel gas channel 3 respectively and mix. The hydrogen pushes the first sealing ball 504 to leave the first sealing plug 501. At this time, the first tension spring 506 is stretched, and hydrogen enters the regulating tank 1 along the first vent 502 and the through hole 14. The fuel gas enters in the same way. The mixed gas in the regulating tank 1 passes through the bottom of the first baffle 12 and the top of the second baffle 13 and is discharged to the gas turbine through the mixed gas channel 4. When the amount of hydrogen is large, the hydrogen pushes the first movable plate 7 and squeezes the contact switch 9 on the second movable plate 8. At this time, the contact switch 9 controls the vacuum pump 17 to pump gas. The remaining hydrogen enters the air storage bag 19 through the air inlet pipe 15, the air storage bag 19 expands and squeezes the compression spring 20, and the sealing rod 1802 closes the limit sleeve 1801 under the action of gravity. When the amount of hydrogen decreases, the first tension spring 506 drives the first telescopic rod 503 to reset. At the same time, the wedge block 1803 squeezes the sealing rod 1802 and drives it to rise. The sealing rod 1802 leaves the top of the limit sleeve 1801, and the compression spring 20 squeezes the air storage bag 19 and discharges the hydrogen therein into the hydrogen channel 2 through the hole on the limit sleeve 1801. A safety valve can be set at the bottom of the storage tank 10. When the hydrogen pressure in the air storage bag 19 exceeds the safety value, the safety valve is used to actively discharge it.

[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above descriptions are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art will be able to modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or substitute equivalents for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
