[0023] See also Figure 1 to Figure 2 An embodiment of the present invention provides a fuel cell engine tail exhaust control system, the fuel cell engine system comprising: a fuel cell engine system body 1, an air supply component, a hydrogen supply component and an exhaust and drainage joint 4.

[0024] Among them, the bottom of the fuel cell engine system body 1 is provided with a drain port 102, and the side is provided with a hydrogen discharge port 101; the air supply component is provided with an auxiliary air outlet pipe 21, an air compressor exhaust pipe 22 and an air inlet pipe, and the air supply component is connected to the fuel cell engine system body 1; the hydrogen supply component is provided with a pressure relief pipeline, and the hydrogen supply component is connected to the fuel cell engine system body 1; the exhaust and drain joint 4 is connected with the drain port 102 and the hydrogen discharge port 101 of the fuel cell engine system body 1, the auxiliary air outlet pipe 21 of the air supply component, the air compressor exhaust pipe 22 and the pressure relief pipeline of the hydrogen supply component.

[0025] Among them, the cross-sectional area of ​​the inlet and outlet of the exhaust and drain connector 4 is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the intersection where the exhaust and drain connector 4 is connected with the drain port 102 and the hydrogen discharge port 101 of the fuel cell engine system body 1, the auxiliary air outlet pipe 21 of the air supply component, the air compressor exhaust pipe 22 and the pressure relief pipeline of the hydrogen supply component, and the flow velocity of the fluid increases when it flows through the intersection.

[0026] The fuel cell engine tail exhaust control system provided by the embodiment of the present invention is provided with a drain port 102 at the bottom of the fuel cell engine system body 1 and a hydrogen discharge port 101 at the side, so as to timely discharge hydrogen inside the fuel cell engine to ensure safety, and at the same time discharge other gases and liquid water; the fuel cell engine system body 1 is provided with air through an air supply component, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the inlet and outlet of the exhaust and drainage joint 4 is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the intersection where the exhaust and drainage joint 4 is connected with the drain port 102 and the hydrogen discharge port 101 of the fuel cell engine system body 1, the auxiliary air outlet pipe 21 of the air supply component, the air compressor exhaust pipe 22, and the pressure relief pipeline of the hydrogen supply component. When the fluid flows through the intersection, the flow rate increases, and the outlet of the pipeline with small exhaust or liquid discharge can be negatively pressurized according to the Venturi principle, which is beneficial to the gas discharge of each exhaust and drainage pipeline. Prevent the backflow of gas or liquid in the special case where the exhaust or drainage of each exhaust and drainage pipeline is small.

[0027] The fuel cell engine tail exhaust control system provided by the embodiment of the present invention can effectively simplify the structural complexity of the fuel cell engine exhaust system, effectively reduce the system cost, improve the operational reliability and safety, improve the rationality of the system structure layout, and improve the convenience of maintenance. The exhaust structure and control method of the fuel cell engine body with high design controllability, accurate monitoring, and good exhaust and drainage effects can adapt to the reasonable purging and sufficient exhaust and drainage of the fuel cell engine body under different conditions. And by setting the exhaust and drainage joint 4, the exhaust of the air compressor 20 is fully utilized as the power source to achieve rapid and sufficient exhaust of each pipeline, which has the advantages of simplified structure, low cost, and sufficient exhaust.

[0028] There is liquid water, water vapor, air and hydrogen inside the fuel cell engine system body 1. The embodiment of the present invention is provided with dual outlets (water outlet 102 and hydrogen outlet 101) of the fuel cell engine system body 1. The water outlet 102 is mainly used to discharge the liquid water inside the fuel cell engine system body 1 in time to ensure internal insulation, and at the same time, it plays a role in discharging other gases. The hydrogen outlet 101 is provided on the upper side (side) of the fuel cell engine system body 1 to discharge the hydrogen inside the fuel cell engine system body 1 in time to ensure system safety, and at the same time, it plays a role in discharging other gases and liquid water.

[0029] The fuel cell engine system body 1 provided in the embodiment of the present invention further includes a hydrogen concentration sensor, which is arranged between the hydrogen exhaust port 101 of the fuel cell engine system body 1 and the exhaust and drainage joint 4 .

[0030] Since the hydrogen concentration is highest on the upper side of the fuel cell engine system body 1 and the gas at the hydrogen outlet is fluid, a hydrogen concentration sensor is provided at the hydrogen outlet of the fuel cell engine system body 1 to accurately detect the hydrogen concentration of the fuel cell engine system body 1 and ensure the safety of the fuel cell engine tail exhaust control system. When the hydrogen concentration at the hydrogen outlet 101 exceeds the limit, the purge flow rate is increased to reduce the hydrogen concentration to a safe range in time.

[0031] In an optional embodiment, the exhaust and drain connector 4 includes: a drain port connector 42, a hydrogen exhaust port connector 41, an auxiliary air outlet pipe connector 43, an air compressor exhaust pipe connector and a hydrogen system exhaust connector; the drain port connector 42 is connected to the drain port 102 of the fuel cell engine system body 1; the hydrogen exhaust port connector 41 is connected to the hydrogen exhaust port 101 of the fuel cell engine system body 1; the auxiliary air outlet pipe connector 43 is connected to the auxiliary air outlet pipe 21 of the air supply assembly; the air compressor exhaust pipe connector is connected to the air compressor exhaust pipe 22 of the air supply assembly; the hydrogen system exhaust connector is connected to the pressure relief pipeline of the hydrogen supply assembly.

[0032] In the embodiment of the present invention, an air compressor exhaust pipe joint is provided, and the auxiliary air outlet pipe 21 of the air supply assembly is connected to the auxiliary air outlet pipe joint 43. High-speed air enters the exhaust and drainage joint 4 and mixes with the hydrogen in the hydrogen discharge port 101 and the box drainage port 102 of the fuel cell engine system body 1 to effectively reduce the overall hydrogen concentration and quickly discharge the mixed gas.

[0033] In an optional embodiment, the length of the drain port joint 42 and the auxiliary air outlet pipe joint 43 is less than the length of the hydrogen outlet joint 41; this can effectively prevent hydrogen backflow, is safe, and has a simple structure. The diameter of the air compressor exhaust pipe joint is larger than the diameter of the hydrogen outlet joint 41, the drain port joint 42, and the auxiliary air outlet pipe joint 43; the lengths of the drain port joint 42, the auxiliary air outlet pipe joint 43 and the hydrogen system exhaust joint are the same. As an example, the diameter of the air compressor exhaust pipe joint can be 60 mm.

[0034] It should be noted that the hydrogen exhaust pipeline, the water drain pipeline and the auxiliary air outlet pipeline respectively connected to the hydrogen exhaust port joint 41, the water drain port joint 42 and the auxiliary air outlet pipe joint 43 provided in the embodiment of the present invention can be merged in advance at a preset distance before the exhaust and drain joint 4, and then connected to the corresponding joints in the exhaust and drain joint 4 after merging, so as to reduce the pressure of the exhaust and drain joint 4.

[0035] By setting the length of the air compressor exhaust pipe joint to be greater than the length of the drain outlet joint 42, the auxiliary air outlet joint 43 and the hydrogen system exhaust joint, the flow rate of the gas or liquid increases sharply when passing through the intersection, and the negative pressure is achieved at the joint outlet with a small exhaust or liquid discharge according to the Venturi principle, which is conducive to the discharge of gas or liquid from each air compressor exhaust pipe 22. To prevent the backflow of the joint with a small exhaust or liquid discharge, the hydrogen outlet joint 41 with a high hydrogen discharge volume is extended from the air compressor exhaust pipe joint, and is separated from other interfaces and closer to the atmospheric environment, so that the hydrogen in the fuel cell engine system body 1 can be discharged quickly.

[0036] In an optional embodiment, the air supply assembly includes: an air source 2 and an air compressor 20; the air source 2 is connected to the air compressor 20, and the air compressor 20 is connected to the air inlet and the purge port of the fuel cell engine system body 1; the purge port of the air compressor 20 is used to obtain the residual liquid amount in the fuel cell engine system when the fuel cell engine system is initially started; the fuel cell engine system is purged through the purge port according to the residual liquid amount in the fuel cell engine system, and the air inlet is used to inject air into the fuel cell engine system through the air inlet after the purge is completed.

[0037] In the embodiment of the present invention, the air output by the air compressor 20 enters the fuel cell engine system body 1 through the purge pipe, wherein a throttle valve is provided on the purge pipe to adjust the air input amount.

[0038] The embodiment of the present invention uses a large amount of air to inject into the fuel cell engine system body 1 when the fuel cell engine tail exhaust control system is initially started, so as to dry the liquid water generated during the last operation of the fuel cell engine system and discharge the residual hydrogen in the fuel cell engine system body 1, thereby effectively improving the insulation resistance of the fuel cell stack to the ground and reducing the hydrogen concentration in the fuel cell engine system body 1, thereby providing reliable guarantee for the start-up of the fuel cell engine tail exhaust control system. At the same time, the demand for a large air volume in the fuel cell engine system body 1 will have a certain alleviating effect on the surging problem of the air compressor 20 caused by the high cathode resistance in the initial operation of the fuel cell engine tail exhaust control system, and can increase the life of components.

[0039] After the fuel cell engine tail exhaust control system is normally started (after starting to work), it controls the air input of a lower flow rate inside the fuel cell engine system body 1, reducing the power consumption of this part while ensuring that the fuel cell engine system body 1 has a stable stack operating environment.

[0040] When the fuel cell engine tail exhaust control system stops running, the air flow input is increased to dry the stack and the inner surface of the box and discharge the hydrogen and water vapor inside the fuel cell engine system body 1 to protect the safety of the stack and provide guarantee for the next startup of the fuel cell engine tail exhaust control system.

[0041] In an optional embodiment, the air supply assembly further includes: an air outlet pipeline 23 , the inlet of the air outlet pipeline 23 is connected to the air outlet of the fuel cell engine system body 1 , and the outlet is connected to the air compressor 20 .

[0042] Excess air in the fuel cell engine system body 1 can be reintroduced into the air compressor 20 through the air outlet pipeline 23 for circulation.

[0043] Furthermore, the air content in the fuel cell engine system body 1 can be obtained in real time. When the air content in the fuel cell engine system body 1 is greater than a preset content, the control valve on the air outlet pipeline 23 is opened to realize air circulation through the air outlet pipeline 23.

[0044] In an optional embodiment, the air supply assembly further includes: an air compressor auxiliary air inlet pipeline 24 , the inlet of the air compressor auxiliary air inlet pipeline 24 is arranged on the air outlet pipeline 23 , and the outlet is connected to the air compressor 20 .

[0045] By setting up the air compressor auxiliary air inlet pipeline 24, the auxiliary air inlet pipeline can be opened according to the air content in the fuel cell engine system body 1 to intercept the air that is about to enter the fuel cell engine system body 1, thereby preventing excessive air from entering and affecting the operation of the fuel cell engine system body 1.

[0046] In an optional embodiment, the hydrogen supply assembly includes: a hydrogen source 3 and a hydrogen pump 31 ; the hydrogen source 3 is connected to the hydrogen pump 31 , and the hydrogen pump 31 is connected to the hydrogen inlet of the fuel cell engine system body 1 .

[0047] In an optional embodiment, the hydrogen supply assembly also includes: a water vapor separator 32, the water vapor separator 32 has an inlet, a gas outlet, an exhaust outlet and a liquid discharge outlet; the inlet of the water vapor separator 32 is connected to the hydrogen outlet of the fuel cell engine system, the gas outlet is connected to the hydrogen inlet of the fuel cell engine system, and the exhaust outlet and the liquid discharge outlet are connected to the exhaust and drain connector 4 after being combined.

[0048] In an optional embodiment, the hydrogen supply assembly further includes: a safety valve 5 , which is arranged on a pressure relief pipeline, one end of which is connected to the hydrogen pump 31 , and the other end of which is connected to the exhaust and drainage connector 4 .

[0049] The pressure relief pipeline is used to relieve the pressure and exhaust gas for protection when the pressure of new hydrogen is too high. The exhaust outlet and the liquid discharge outlet of the water vapor separator 32 are used to exhaust gas for hydrogen reuse during the operation of the fuel cell engine tail exhaust control system.

[0050] When the pressure of the new hydrogen input exceeds the preset pressure, the hydrogen pump pressure relief valve set on the pressure relief pipeline is fully opened, allowing hydrogen to reach the drain and exhaust joint through the pressure relief pipeline. During the pressure relief process, the exhaust outlet and the drain outlet of the water vapor separator 32 are completely closed and prohibited from opening, ensuring that hydrogen only enters the exhaust outlet and the drain outlet. When the fuel cell engine tail exhaust control system works normally, the hydrogen pump pressure relief valve on the pressure relief pipeline is in a completely closed state.

[0051] The exhaust valve at the exhaust outlet and the drain valve at the drain outlet of the water vapor separator 32 are set to the same switching frequency and cycle, and are opened alternately. Under this condition, only one of the three outlets will be exhausted without overlapping, so as to ensure smooth exhaust.

[0052] See also Figure 2 The auxiliary air outlet pipe 21, the air compressor exhaust pipe 22 and the hydrogen system exhaust pipe provided in the embodiment of the present invention are arranged in parallel.
