[0055] See also Figures 1 to 6 This embodiment provides a loss-free liquid hydrogen storage system, including a liquid hydrogen container 10, a first pipeline 20, a hydrogen liquefaction device 21, a second pipeline 22, a liquid hydrogen circulation pump 23, a third pipeline 24 and a fourth pipeline 26.

[0056] One end of the first pipeline 20 is in communication with the top of the liquid hydrogen container 10. The input end of the hydrogen liquefaction device 21 is in communication with the end of the first pipeline 20 away from the liquid hydrogen container 10, and the hydrogen liquefaction device 21 is used to convert the gaseous hydrogen transported by the top first pipeline 20 into liquid hydrogen. The second pipeline 22 is in communication with the output end of the hydrogen liquefaction device 21. The input end of the liquid hydrogen circulation pump 23 is in communication with the end of the second pipeline 22 away from the hydrogen liquefaction device 21, and the liquid hydrogen circulation pump 23 is used to pump liquid hydrogen. The third pipeline 24 is in communication with the output end of the liquid hydrogen circulation pump 23, and a check valve 25 is provided on the third pipeline 24. One end of the fourth pipeline 26 is in communication with the end of the third pipeline 24 away from the liquid hydrogen circulation pump 23, and the other end of the fourth pipeline 26 is in communication with the bottom of the liquid hydrogen container 10. The first pipeline 20 and the fourth pipeline 26 are provided with a control valve 27. Specifically, the liquid hydrogen circulation pump 23 and the hydrogen liquefaction device 21 can adopt existing technologies. In addition, the second pipeline 22 can be provided with a gaseous hydrogen and liquid hydrogen separation device, and the liquid hydrogen flows into the liquid hydrogen circulation pump 23 after separation, while the gaseous hydrogen is transported back to the hydrogen liquefaction device 21 through another pipeline, so that the liquid hydrogen pumped from the liquid hydrogen circulation pump 23 to the liquid hydrogen container 10 is all liquid hydrogen.

[0057] In this embodiment, the gaseous hydrogen enters the hydrogen liquefaction device 21 from the first pipeline 20, is reliquefied, and is transported back to the bottom of the liquid hydrogen container 10 through the liquid hydrogen circulation pump 23, the third pipeline 24, and the fourth pipeline 26, thereby avoiding the waste of hydrogen resources and reducing safety risks. In addition, the reliquefied liquid hydrogen has a low temperature, which can reduce the temperature in the liquid hydrogen container 10, thereby slowing down the evaporation rate of the liquid hydrogen in the liquid hydrogen container 10.

[0058] In one embodiment, the non-loss liquid hydrogen storage system further includes a fifth pipeline 28 .

[0059] One end of the fifth pipeline 28 is communicated with one end of the third pipeline 24 away from the liquid hydrogen circulation pump 23, and the other end of the fifth pipeline 28 is communicated with the top of the liquid hydrogen container 10. A control valve 27 is provided on the fifth channel.

[0060] In this embodiment, the liquid hydrogen pumped by the liquid hydrogen circulation pump 23 can be delivered to the bottom of the liquid hydrogen container 10 from the fourth pipeline 26, or can be delivered from the top of the liquid hydrogen container 10. The liquid hydrogen input from the top of the liquid hydrogen container 10 can be merged with the liquid hydrogen inside the liquid hydrogen container 10, thereby cooling the liquid hydrogen there, and slowing down the evaporation of the liquid hydrogen.

[0061] In one embodiment, the lossless liquid hydrogen storage system further includes a sixth pipe 29 , a plurality of seventh pipes 30 and a plurality of U-shaped pipes 31 .

[0062] The sixth pipeline 29 is closed at both ends, and the sixth pipeline 29 is connected to the fourth pipeline 26. One end of the plurality of seventh pipelines 30 is simultaneously connected to the sixth pipeline 29, and the other ends of the plurality of seventh pipelines 30 are inserted into the liquid hydrogen container 10. The plurality of U-shaped tubes 31 correspond to the plurality of seventh pipelines 30 one by one, and the plurality of U-shaped tubes 31 are arranged in parallel in the liquid hydrogen container 10, the opening of the U-shaped tube 31 is upward, and the middle part of the U-shaped tube 31 is connected to the end of the corresponding seventh pipeline 30 away from the sixth pipeline 29. The fourth pipeline 26 is connected to the liquid hydrogen container 10 through the sixth channel, the seventh pipeline 30 and the U-shaped tube 31.

[0063] In this embodiment, the liquid hydrogen pumped by the liquid hydrogen circulation pump 23 is transported to the liquid hydrogen container 10 through the sixth pipeline 29, the seventh pipeline 30 and the U-shaped pipe 31. The liquid hydrogen is output from both ends of the U-shaped channel, which can cool the liquid hydrogen in the liquid hydrogen container 10 more evenly, thereby slowing down the evaporation rate of the liquid hydrogen.

[0064] In one embodiment, the non-loss liquid hydrogen storage system further includes a hydrogen discharge control mechanism 40 .

[0065] The U-shaped tube 31 includes a connecting tube 311 and two vertically arranged mounting tubes 312 .

[0066] The middle of the connecting pipe 311 is connected to the seventh pipeline 30. The lower ends of the two installation pipes 312 are respectively connected to the two ends of the connecting pipe 311. Multiple groups of hydrogen discharge holes 313 are opened on the side wall of the installation pipe 312; the multiple groups of hydrogen discharge holes 313 are distributed along the axial direction of the installation pipe 312; each group of hydrogen discharge holes 313 is at the same level; the hydrogen discharge control mechanism 40 can control the liquid hydrogen to be discharged from one group of the hydrogen discharge holes 313.

[0067] In this embodiment, the liquid hydrogen in the connecting pipe 311 is transported to the installation pipes 312 at both ends. Under the control of the hydrogen discharge control mechanism 40, the liquid hydrogen can be discharged from the hydrogen discharge holes 313 at different heights, so that the liquid hydrogen with a lower temperature in the installation pipe 312 is mixed more evenly with the liquid hydrogen in the liquid hydrogen container 10, and the liquid hydrogen in the liquid hydrogen container 10 is cooled more evenly.

[0068] In one embodiment, a plurality of support rods 32 are connected to the inner wall of the lower end of the mounting tube 312, and the plurality of support rods 32 are evenly distributed around the axis of the mounting tube 312; a coaxial first limiting ring 33 is also connected to the inner wall of the mounting tube 312; the first limiting ring 33 is located below the plurality of groups of hydrogen discharge holes 313 on the mounting tube 312.

[0069] The hydrogen discharge control mechanism 40 includes a plurality of shielding tubes 41 , a second blocking ring 44 , a connecting member 45 and a limiting round block 46 which are nested in sequence.

[0070] The plurality of shielding tubes 41 are coaxial, the lower outer wall of each shielding tube 41 is connected with a coaxial first retaining ring 42, and the upper inner wall of each shielding tube 41 is connected with a coaxial second limiting ring 43;

[0071] The second retaining ring 44 is slidably matched with the inner wall of the inner shielding tube 41 , and the second retaining ring 44 can move upward to abut against the second limiting ring 43 on the inner wall of the inner shielding tube 41 .

[0072] The connecting piece 45 is connected to the second baffle ring 44. After the connecting piece 45 and the second baffle ring 44 are connected, a space is left in the middle of the second baffle ring 44 for liquid hydrogen to pass through. The limiting circle 46 is slidably matched with the inner wall of the mounting tube 312, and the lower end of the limiting circle 46 is connected to the connecting piece 45. The first baffle ring 42 on the outer layer of the plurality of shielding tubes 41 is slidably matched with the inner wall of the mounting tube 312 and can be moved up to abut against the first limiting ring 33, and the first baffle ring 42 of the other shielding tubes 41 can be moved up to abut against the second limiting ring 43 on the adjacent shielding tube 41. The plurality of support rods 32 can support the lower ends of the plurality of shielding tubes 41;

[0073] In this embodiment, Figure 6 , the space between the limiting circular block 46 and the plurality of shielding cylinders 41 is connected to the horizontal hydrogen discharge hole 313. When the liquid hydrogen flows upward from the innermost shielding cylinder 41 and impacts the limiting circular block 46, the liquid hydrogen is discharged from the hydrogen discharge hole 313 there. Once the flow speed of the liquid hydrogen is accelerated and the pressure is increased, the limiting circular block 46 is driven to move upward, and part of the shielding cylinder 41 is driven to move upward, and the shielding cylinder 41 blocks the hydrogen discharge hole 313 on the outside. The liquid hydrogen in the shielding cylinder 41 will not be discharged from the blocked hydrogen discharge hole 313, but will be discharged from the hydrogen discharge hole 313 that is not blocked above and is located below the limiting circular block 46. This makes it possible to adjust the pressure of the liquid hydrogen in the shielding tube 41 as needed, thereby controlling the height of the limiting circle 46, so that the liquid hydrogen in the shielding tube 41 is discharged from the hydrogen discharge holes 313 at different heights, so that the lower temperature liquid hydrogen in the shielding tube 41 is mixed more evenly with the liquid hydrogen in the liquid hydrogen container 10, thereby reducing the overall temperature of the liquid hydrogen in the liquid hydrogen container 10.

[0074] In one embodiment, each of the seventh pipelines 30 is provided with a control valve 27 to control the opening and closing of the seventh pipeline 30. When the liquid hydrogen on the upper part of the liquid hydrogen container 10 needs to be cooled quickly, part of the seventh pipeline 30 is closed, and the liquid hydrogen delivered by the liquid hydrogen circulation pump 23 is discharged only from one or a few U-shaped tubes 31, thereby increasing the liquid hydrogen pressure in the U-shaped tube 31, so that the limiting round block 46 can move upward, and then the liquid hydrogen in the installation tube 312 is discharged from the hydrogen discharge hole 313 at the upper end of the installation tube 312, and the upper layer of liquid hydrogen in the liquid hydrogen container 10 is cooled.

[0075] In one embodiment, each group of the hydrogen discharge holes 313 on the mounting tube 312 includes a plurality of hydrogen discharge holes 313 evenly arranged along the circumference of the mounting tube 312 , so that the liquid hydrogen in the mounting tube 312 can be evenly mixed with the liquid hydrogen in the liquid hydrogen container 10 when discharged from the hydrogen discharge holes 313 .

[0076] In one embodiment, two adjacent groups of hydrogen discharge holes 313 on the same mounting tube 312 are staggered so that the liquid hydrogen in the mounting tube 312 can be discharged in more directions, so that the liquid hydrogen in the mounting tube 312 can be further evenly mixed with the liquid hydrogen in the liquid hydrogen container 10.

[0077] In the description of the present invention, a large number of specific details are described. However, it is understood that embodiments of the present invention can be practiced without these specific details. In some instances, well-known methods, structures and techniques are not shown in detail so as not to obscure the understanding of this description.

[0078] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein by equivalents.
