It is widely used in hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, energy storage, chemical industry, aerospace and other fields. Hydrogen storage cylinders are mainly divided into four types according to their materials and structures: Type I cylinder: a metal cylinder, mainly made of pure steel. This type of cylinder has low hydrogen storage density, heavy weight, and poor safety, so it is gradually being eliminated. Type II cylinder: a metal liner fiber hoop-wrapped cylinder. Compared with Type I cylinders, it has been improved in materials and processes, but it still has limitations. Type III cylinder: a metal liner fiber fully wrapped cylinder, usually composed of an aluminum alloy liner and a carbon fiber fully wrapped layer. This type of cylinder has a higher hydrogen storage density, lighter weight and better safety, and has been widely used in hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. Type IV cylinder: a non-metallic fiber fully wrapped cylinder, the liner is a composite material, and a carbon fiber or glass fiber fully wrapped process is used. The filling and discharging cycle test device for high-pressure hydrogen storage cylinders is an important equipment to ensure the safety performance of hydrogen cylinders. It is mainly used to simulate the filling and discharging cycle in actual use to detect the durability and reliability of hydrogen cylinders;

[0004] The problem with the prior art is that when testing hydrogen storage cylinders, it is necessary to manually connect the air inlet and outlet pipes to the air inlet and outlet of the cylinder.

In addition, when the cylinder is placed on the testing station, the angles of the air inlet and outlet of the cylinder need to correspond to the positions of the air inlet and outlet pipes, so they often need to be adjusted to specified angles, further reducing the test efficiency.

At this time, the motor drives the suction cup and the gas cylinder to rotate, and the visual sensor is used to monitor the mouth of the gas cylinder. When the detection port of the gas cylinder is facing upward, the industrial computer determines that the angle of the gas cylinder is at the set angle value.

[0071] Through the second one-way solenoid valve 310, the gas in the gas cylinder 1 can only enter the gas supply tank 2 from the gas outlet pipe 309, and the gas in the gas supply tank 2 cannot enter the gas cylinder 1 from the gas outlet pipe 309, thereby achieving the filling and discharging test requirements of the gas cylinder 1. Flow meters are also installed on the gas outlet pipe 309 and the gas inlet pipe 307 to monitor the gas intake and outlet volumes;

[0072] The pressure sensor 311 is installed on the detection port of the gas cylinder 1 and is used to detect the gas pressure inside the gas cylinder 1;

[0073] The intake air volume is monitored by the flow meter on the intake pipe 307, and then the air pressure in the gas cylinder 1 is monitored by the pressure sensor 311. Since the pressure in the gas cylinder 1 is regular with the flow rate of the flow meter, it is possible to determine whether the gas cylinder 1 has a leak by comparing the value of the pressure sensor 311 with the value of the flow meter.

[0074] As a possible embodiment, a cover plate 306 is disposed above the test seat 322, both ends of the cover plate 306 are slidably connected to the top of the test seat 322, the inner side of the cover plate 306 is in contact with the outer wall of the gas cylinder 1, and the inner wall of the cover plate 306 is connected with an elastic material;

[0075] By providing a movable cover plate 306, the cover plate 306 can fix the top of the gas cylinder 1 to prevent the gas cylinder 1 from jumping out of the test seat 322 during the test, thereby ensuring the safety of the test.

[0076] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, as a possible embodiment, a tail cover 314 is provided at the rear end of the gas cylinder 1, a slider 315 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the tail cover 314, the slider 315 is slidably connected to one end of the test seat 322, a slide rail is further provided at the bottom of the tail cover 314, the slide rail is slidably connected to the bottom plate 301, one end of the tail cover 314 is connected to a first electric telescopic rod 316, and the first electric telescopic rod 316 is installed on the bottom plate 301;

[0077] The tail cover 314 is driven to slide by the first electric telescopic rod 316 , so that the tail cover 314 can fix the tail of the gas cylinder 1 , thereby further reinforcing the gas cylinder 1 .

[0081] A first piston block 3125 is connected to one end of the movable nozzle 3122, and the first piston block 3125 is sealingly and slidably connected to the inner wall of the sleeve 3121;

[0082] The first driving pipe 3124 is connected to the top of the sleeve 3121 and communicates with the interior of the sleeve 3121. When high-pressure gas enters from the first driving pipe 3124, the first piston block 3125 and the movable nozzle 3122 slide toward the gas inlet or gas outlet of the gas cylinder 1 under the push of the gas pressure. The gas inlet and the gas outlet are both provided with elastic valves. When external force is pressed toward the gas cylinder 1, the valve body will open. The gas pressure in the gas cylinder 1 cannot open the elastic valve. The elastic valve is composed of a valve body and a pressure spring. When an external object presses the valve body, the pressure of the pressure spring can be overcome to press the valve body inward, so that the movable nozzle 3122 is communicated with the interior of the gas cylinder 1.

[0083] Through the above scheme, when the movable mouth 3122 of the coupling component 312 extends into the air inlet or outlet of the gas cylinder 1, the gas can enter the gas cylinder 1 or be discharged from the gas cylinder 1. By controlling the air pressure entering the first driving pipe 3124, the movable mouth 3122 of the coupling component 312 can be controlled.

[0084] like Figure 5 As shown, as a possible embodiment, a driving assembly 313 is provided at the bottom of the pressure sensor 311, and the driving assembly 313 includes:

[0085] A fixing sleeve 3131 connected to one end of the cover plate 306;

A second spring 3134 is connected between the bottom of the second piston block 3135 and the inner wall of the fixing sleeve 3131;

[0089] The second driving pipe 3136 is connected to the top of the fixing sleeve 3131 and communicates with the interior of the fixing sleeve 3131;

[0090] A one-way valve 101 is installed in the detection port of the gas cylinder 1;

[0091] Through the above scheme, when high-pressure gas enters from the second driving pipe 3136, under the push of the gas pressure, the second piston block 3135 and the connecting rod 3132 slide toward the inside of the detection port of the gas cylinder 1, pushing open the one-way valve 101, so that the gas pressure in the gas cylinder can be detected by the detection end 3133.

[0093] Through the above scheme, the second electric telescopic rod 305 can drive the sliding frame 304 and the cover plate 306 to move above the gas cylinder 1. When the sliding frame 304 is in the initial position, there is enough space for the gas cylinder 1 to be placed in the test seat 322. When the sliding frame 304 is slid to the specified position, the movable nozzle 3122 on the coupling component 312 can maintain a concentric position with the air inlet or outlet of the gas cylinder 1, so as to facilitate the filling and discharging cycle test of the gas cylinder 1.

[0094] Embodiment 2: Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Fig. 9 , Fig.10 As shown, the technical solution of this embodiment is different from that of the first embodiment in that one end of the sliding frame 304 is further connected to a visual sensor 324. When the sliding frame 304 is in the default position, the visual sensor 324 can be aligned with the bottle mouth of the gas cylinder 1. The visual sensor 324 is an industrial camera.

[0095] Visual Positioning, or Visual Positioning Apparatus (VPA), is a vision-based spatial positioning technology that captures images and video signals and uses image processing algorithms to analyze these data to determine the position and direction of an object. This technology relies on computer vision algorithms such as image recognition and feature matching to achieve accurate spatial positioning. The main principle is to capture images and video signals, use image processing algorithms to extract and match features in the image, and thus calculate the precise position and direction of the object.

[0096] A motor 317 is connected to the middle of the tail cover 314, and a suction cup 318 is connected to the output end of the motor 317. A groove 321 is provided at one end of the suction cup 318 close to the gas cylinder 1, and an annular groove 319 is provided on the outer wall of the suction cup 318.

[0097] In the above scheme, when the negative pressure pump is started, since the negative pressure hole 323, the annular groove 319, the connecting hole 320 and the groove 321 are interconnected, when the negative pressure pump pumps the gas inside it outward, negative pressure can be formed in the groove 321, so that the suction cup 318 can be tightly sucked on one end of the gas cylinder 1.

[0098] like Fig.14 As shown, as a possible embodiment, an industrial computer is also included, and the output end of the pressure sensor 311 is signal-connected to the input end of the industrial computer.

[0099] like Fig.10 As shown in the figure, as a possible embodiment, when negative pressure is formed between the groove 321 at one end of the suction cup 318 and the gas cylinder 1, the motor 317 can drive the suction cup 318 and the gas cylinder 1 to rotate synchronously to adjust the orientation angle of the mouth of the gas cylinder 1;

[0100] When the gas cylinder 1 is placed in the test seat 322, the gas cylinder 1 is located on the right side of the test seat 322. At this time, the motor 317 drives the suction cup 318 and the gas cylinder 1 to rotate, and the visual sensor 324 is used to detect the bottle mouth of the gas cylinder 1. When the detection port of the gas cylinder 1 is facing upward, the industrial computer determines that the angle of the gas cylinder 1 is at the set angle value. At this time, the motor 317 stops rotating, and the first electric telescopic rod 316 drives the tail cover 314 and the gas cylinder 1 to slide, pushing the gas cylinder 1 to the leftmost side of the test seat 322 to ensure that the gas cylinder 1 is at the correct angle, so that the positions of the air inlet pipe 307, the air outlet pipe 309 and the pressure sensor 311 can correspond to the positions of the air inlet, the air outlet and the detection port of the gas cylinder 1.
