Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of fuel cells, and particularly relates to a chassis layout method and a gas carrying capacity calculation method for a fuel cell semi-trailer heavy truck. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, for the chassis layout method of a fuel cell semi-trailer heavy truck, generally, the hydrogen gas source is arranged at the front of the vehicle head, behind the cab, or externally hung on both sides of the vehicle body. For the above layout methods, on the one hand, arranging all hydrogen gas sources at the front of the vehicle head greatly wastes the layout space, and when the vehicle head runs without a cargo box, it increases unnecessary load, thus increasing hydrogen consumption; on the other hand, due to the limited space at the front of the vehicle head, the arrangement of the hydrogen capacity is also limited, thereby restricting the endurance of the fuel cell semi-trailer heavy truck. For the layout method of externally hanging hydrogen cylinders on the vehicle body, there are safety hazards. One is the problem that the external hydrogen source is prone to hydrogen leakage or even explosion in the event of a traffic accident. In addition, externally hanging hydrogen cylinders causes the vehicle's center of mass to deviate from the vehicle's symmetry plane, or the problem of vehicle driving stability caused by the increase in the center of mass.

[0003] In addition, in the prior art, the total amount of hydrogen source in a fuel cell semi-trailer heavy truck is a fixed amount, but the weights of the goods in different cargo boxes are inconsistent. Carrying a fixed gas source at the vehicle head is likely to lead to insufficient endurance or a decrease in hydrogen utilization rate; under the current limitation of the number of hydrogen refueling stations, it may cause the vehicle to have insufficient endurance due to too long a mileage, or the problem of hydrogen consumption due to too short a mileage. With a fixed hydrogen carrying capacity, it is impossible to find the optimal hydrogen carrying capacity between endurance and efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a chassis layout method and a gas carrying capacity calculation method for a fuel cell semi-trailer heavy truck to solve the problems existing in the above prior art. Summary of the Invention

[0011] Further, when the semi-trailer head of the fuel cell semi-trailer heavy truck disconnects the semi-trailer cargo box, close the first manual valve, the second manual valve and the third manual valve, open the pressure relief and inflation manual valve to complete pressure relief, and then close the pressure relief and inflation manual valve and the fourth manual valve; disconnect the second manual valve from the fourth manual valve, open the first manual valve, briefly open the pressure relief and inflation manual valve to complete the discharge of air, and then close the pressure relief and inflation manual valve; open the third manual valve to complete the disconnection of the second hydrogen source in the fuel cell hydrogen path subsystem.

[0041] S1-4. Substitute the I(P(T)) obtained in step S1-3 into step S1-1 to calculate the relationship between the total actual hydrogen consumption M of the fuel cell semi-trailer truck and the mass m2_H2 of the second hydrogen source.

[0042] Further, the traction force F_mov(T) of the fuel cell semi-trailer truck during operation in step S1-2 is calculated by the following formula:

[0056] Furthermore, in step S2, according to the mass m2_H2 of the second hydrogen source and the selected cylinder parameters of the second hydrogen source, the number of cylinders n that the semi-trailer cargo box needs to carry is determined as follows:

[0057] The cylinder parameters of the second hydrogen source include the cylinder mass m1 and the mass m2 of hydrogen that can be loaded in a single cylinder;

[0059] Wherein, the number of cylinders n takes the smallest integer.

[0060] m2_H2 = (m1 + m2) * n (16);

[0061] Substitute the relationship between the total actual hydrogen consumption M of the fuel cell semi-trailer truck obtained in step S1 and the mass m2_H2 of the second hydrogen source into formula (15) and formula (16) to obtain the number of cylinders n that the semi-trailer cargo box needs to carry.

[0064] (2) By designing the first hydrogen source as a small-volume gas source, it is convenient to arrange it in the limited space of the semi-trailer head. The volume of the semi-trailer cargo box is usually positively correlated with its maximum load capacity. The larger the maximum load capacity, the larger the volume of the semi-trailer cargo box and the longer its length. By designing the second hydrogen source as a large-volume gas source and determining the hydrogen mass of the second hydrogen source according to the cargo box load, on the one hand, the layout space of the semi-trailer cargo box can be fully utilized; on the other hand, the mass of the hydrogen source can be adaptively selected, thus avoiding the problem of increased hydrogen consumption caused by excessive hydrogen loading or insufficient vehicle endurance caused by too little hydrogen loading, thereby improving the hydrogen utilization efficiency of the whole vehicle.
