A temperature sensor 21 is also installed in the low-temperature environment chamber 19, so as to enable the air-cooled temperature control device 23 to adjust the internal temperature of the low-temperature environment chamber 19 according to the temperature information detected by the temperature sensor 21, so as to ensure that the temperature of the metal hydride hydrogen storage bottle 20 is appropriate when filling with hydrogen, and to ensure the hydrogen absorption performance of the metal hydride hydrogen storage bottle 20; the outlet of the hydrogen gas source 1 is connected to a hydrogen supply pipeline, and a plurality of quick-connect connectors 18 for quickly connecting the metal hydride hydrogen storage bottle 20 are installed in the low-temperature environment chamber 19, and the inlets of all quick-connect connectors 18 are connected to the outlet of the hydrogen supply pipeline, so that the hydrogen supply pipeline is quickly connected to the metal hydride hydrogen storage bottle 20 through the quick-connect connector 18.

[0033] Before operation, the present invention places the metal hydride hydrogen storage bottle 20 on the weighing sensor 22 to solve the problem that the amount of hydrogen filled in a single bottle cannot be accurately measured when multiple metal hydride hydrogen storage bottles 20 are filled at the same time, and then the metal hydride hydrogen storage bottle 20 is quickly connected using the quick-connect connector 18 to reduce manual operation time and complete the preparation work before hydrogen filling; then hydrogen can be provided through the hydrogen source 1, and the hydrogen enters the metal hydride hydrogen storage bottle 20 through the hydrogen supply pipeline, and the weighing sensor 22 monitors the weight of the heavy metal hydride hydrogen storage bottle 20 in real time, and at the same time, the weighing sensor 22 can monitor the weight of the heavy metal hydride hydrogen storage bottle 20 in real time.

The vacuum pump 16, the second solenoid valve 14 and the first pressure sensor 15 are all electrically connected to the PLC control system, so that the second solenoid valve 14 can be used as an automatic switch valve of the pipeline during vacuuming to achieve function switching and automation, and the first pressure sensor 15 is used to detect the vacuum degree of the pipeline; the outlet of the vacuum pump 16 is connected to the emptying pipeline through the second pipeline, and a flame arrester 17 is provided on the emptying pipeline to prevent sparks from entering the subsequent emptying pipeline during release. Preferably, the first pressure sensor 15 is located on the first pipeline between the second solenoid valve 14 and the vacuum pump 16 to effectively detect the air pressure in the pipeline regulated by the second solenoid valve 14.
[0035] As a preferred implementation scheme in this embodiment, it needs to be further explained that the hydrogen supply pipeline is also connected to the exhaust pipeline through a third pipeline, and the third pipeline is installed with a third solenoid valve 11 and a second one-way valve 13 arranged in sequence along the flow direction of hydrogen.

The third solenoid valve 11 is used for remote and automatic pipeline overpressure release functions, and cooperates with other valves to achieve automation. The second one-way valve 13 can prevent hydrogen backflow.
[0036] As a preferred implementation scheme in this embodiment, it needs to be further explained that the hydrogen supply pipeline is connected to a bypass pipeline, on which a fourth solenoid valve 26, a second pressure reducing valve 25 and a third one-way valve 24 are installed in sequence along the flow direction of hydrogen. The inlet of the bypass pipeline is connected to the hydrogen supply pipeline at the inlet of the first one-way valve 4, and the outlet of the bypass pipeline is connected to the hydrogen supply pipeline at the outlet of the first solenoid valve 7.

The safety relief valve 6 is used to protect the pipeline system pressure to a safe pressure and safely discharge it when overpressure occurs. The maintenance valve 5 is used to shut off the pipeline during the maintenance of the safety relief valve. After the entire hydrogen filling process is completed, in order to safely disassemble the metal hydride hydrogen storage bottle 20, the residual hydrogen in the pipeline must be safely discharged to normal pressure before disassembly, specifically: through the control of the PLC control system, the third solenoid valve 11 is opened to discharge the pressure to normal pressure and the third solenoid valve 11 is closed after a delay of a few seconds; the detection element is through the interlocking of the second pressure sensor 9 and the manual observation of the first pressure gauge 10.

[0042] S0. Obtain the weighing information of each weighing sensor 22 through the PLC control system, and turn on the air-cooled temperature control device 23 through the PLC control system to start precooling the low-temperature environment chamber 19. It should be noted here that in the preparation stage, a scanner will be used to scan the electronic identification code of each filling station, and then transmit it to the PLC control system.

[0043] S1. Vacuuming the hydrogen supply pipeline and / or replacing the hydrogen supply pipeline with hydrogen: Vacuuming the hydrogen supply pipeline and replacing the hydrogen supply pipeline with hydrogen can be performed either one or both. When both are performed, there is no order of precedence. It should be noted that:
[0044] The operation of evacuating the hydrogen supply pipeline is as follows: the PLC control system controls the first solenoid valve 7, the third solenoid valve 11 and the fourth solenoid valve 26 to close, controls the second solenoid valve 14 and the vacuum pump 16 to open and evacuate the hydrogen supply pipeline to remove the air in the hydrogen supply pipeline; the first pressure sensor 15 pushes the detected pressure information to the PLC control system in real time.

[0045] The operation of hydrogen replacement of the hydrogen supply pipeline is as follows: the PLC control system controls the first solenoid valve 7, the third solenoid valve 11 and the second solenoid valve 14 to be closed, and controls the fourth solenoid valve 26 to be opened. The hydrogen pressure coming out of the hydrogen source 1 is reduced to 0.1-0.5MPa through the first pressure reducing valve 3 and then filled into the hydrogen supply pipeline at the rear. The second pressure sensor 9 pushes the detected pressure information to the PLC control system in real time. When the PLC control system determines that the pressure inside the hydrogen supply pipeline reaches the preset replacement pressure, the PLC control system controls the fourth solenoid valve 26 to be closed, controls the third solenoid valve 11 and performs an emptying operation. After a few seconds of emptying, the third solenoid valve 11 is closed to complete a replacement operation. In order to ensure the thoroughness of the pipeline replacement and the possibility of no air in the pipeline, the number of replacements is usually set to 3 to 5 times until the gas in the hydrogen supply pipeline is completely emptied.
[0046] S2. Filling of metal hydride hydrogen storage bottles:
[0047] The PLC control system controls the third solenoid valve 11, the second solenoid valve 14 and the fourth solenoid valve 26 to close, controls the first solenoid valve 7 and the air-cooled temperature control device 23 to open, and fills the hydrogen from the hydrogen source 1 into the metal hydride hydrogen storage bottle 20.

The PLC control system controls the air-cooled temperature control device 23 to adjust the temperature inside the low-temperature environment chamber 19 according to the temperature information pushed by the temperature sensor 21 to ensure the hydrogen absorption performance of the metal hydride hydrogen storage bottle 20; and the weighing sensor 22 pushes the weight of the metal hydride hydrogen storage bottle 20 to the PLC control system in real time until the PLC control system determines that the metal hydride hydrogen storage bottle 20 is full and then closes the first solenoid valve 7 and the air-cooled temperature control device 23.
