[0042] In another embodiment of the present invention, a vehicle is provided, comprising the hydrogen supply system in the above embodiment.

[0043] Specifically, the hydrogen supply system includes a hydrogen source 1, a fuel cell 2 and a hydrogen engine 3, and the hydrogen supply system also includes: an integrated pressure reducing valve 10, the first input end of the integrated pressure reducing valve 10 is connected to the output end of the hydrogen source 1, the first output end of the integrated pressure reducing valve 10 is connected to the first branch 21, the first branch 21 is used to provide hydrogen to the fuel cell 2, the second output end of the integrated pressure reducing valve 10 is connected to the second branch 22, the second branch 22 is used to provide hydrogen to the hydrogen engine 3, one end of the third branch 23 is used to collect the hydrogen generated by the fuel cell 2, and the other end of the third branch 23 is connected to the second input end of the integrated pressure reducing valve 10.

[0044] In this embodiment, the hydrogen output from the hydrogen source 1 enters the integrated pressure reducing valve 10 from the first input end of the integrated pressure reducing valve 10 for pressure regulation, part of the hydrogen flows from the first output end of the integrated pressure reducing valve 10 into the first branch 21 to provide hydrogen to the fuel cell 2, and the other part of the hydrogen flows from the second output end of the integrated pressure reducing valve 10 into the second branch 22 to provide hydrogen to the hydrogen engine 3.

[0045] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a control method embodiment of a hydrogen supply system is provided, and the control method is used to control the hydrogen supply system in the above embodiment. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer executable instructions, and, although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be executed in an order different from that shown here.

[0046] Figure 2 is a method according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 2 As shown, the method comprises the following steps:

[0047] Step S102, obtaining the required power of the entire vehicle.

[0048] In step S102, the vehicle is pre-calibrated to obtain calibration data, and the system distributes power between the fuel cell and the hydrogen engine to obtain the distributed power of the fuel cell and the distributed power of the hydrogen engine.

[0049] Step S104, determining a first target power of the fuel cell and a second target power of the hydrogen engine according to the required power of the entire vehicle.

[0050] In step S104, the first target power of the fuel cell refers to the power part that the fuel cell needs to provide under the current vehicle power demand. The second target power of the hydrogen engine is the remaining power demand, which is provided by the hydrogen engine. When determining the first target power and the second target power, the efficiency and performance of the entire power system are considered, that is, the optimal operating range and efficiency of the fuel cell and the hydrogen engine are considered. For example, calibration is performed in advance through experiments, and after determining a vehicle power demand, the appropriate first target power and second target power are determined based on the economy of the vehicle and the optimal efficiency of the system. Finally, the vehicle power demand, the first target power and the second target power are stored in a data table, and the vehicle power demand is in a one-to-one correspondence with the first target power and the second target power. After determining a vehicle power demand, the optimal first target power and the second target power can be determined according to the table.

[0051] Step S106, when the first target power meets the preset conditions, a target control strategy set is generated, and the target control strategy set is used to adjust the integrated pressure reducing valve so that the hydrogen pressures of the first branch and the second branch of the hydrogen supply system are both at the target pressure values, and the hydrogen pressure of the third branch of the hydrogen supply system is in a preset interval, wherein the first branch is used to transport hydrogen to the fuel cell, the second branch is used to transport hydrogen to the hydrogen engine, and the third branch is used to transport hydrogen generated by the fuel cell to the hydrogen engine.

[0052] In step S106, hydrogen of a corresponding pressure is supplied to the fuel cell according to the first target power of the fuel cell, so that the fuel cell can be kept in a working state at all times, so that the waste hydrogen generated by the fuel cell is transported to the integrated pressure reducing valve through the third branch and then supplied to the hydrogen engine through the second branch. Therefore, the preset interval of the hydrogen pressure of the third branch of the hydrogen supply system is that the hydrogen pressure of the third branch is greater than or equal to zero, so as to realize the recycling of waste hydrogen.

[0053] Through the above steps, the integrated pressure reducing valve realizes pressure control of the first branch and the second branch, so as to coordinately control the hydrogen supply of the fuel cell and the hydrogen engine, optimize the pipeline setting of the hydrogen supply system, and improve the waste hydrogen utilization rate, hydrogen supply efficiency and system integration of the hydrogen supply system.

[0054] Furthermore, when the first target power meets a preset condition, a target control strategy set is generated, including:

[0055] Step S1071, determining a target pressure value of the first branch according to the first target power.

[0056] In step S1071, the system distributes the power of the fuel cell and the hydrogen engine according to the power demand of the whole vehicle, obtains the first target power, and compares the first target power with the preset power threshold. In a specific embodiment of the present application, the preset power threshold includes a first preset power threshold, a second preset power threshold and a third preset power threshold, wherein the first preset power threshold < the second preset power threshold < the third preset power threshold. Optionally, the first target power is in a one-to-one correspondence with the target pressure of the first branch.

[0057] Step S1072, determining a target pressure value of the second branch according to the second target power.

[0058] In step S1072, the system distributes the power of the fuel cell and the hydrogen engine according to the power demand of the whole vehicle, obtains the second target power, and determines the target pressure value of the second branch according to the second target power and the calibration data, wherein the second target power and the target pressure value of the second branch can be a one-to-one correspondence or a one-to-many correspondence, which is obtained through the previous calibration. The target pressure value of the second branch can be a fixed pressure or a multi-level variable pressure.

[0059] Step S1073, adjusting the secondary fuel cell pressure reducing valve so that the hydrogen pressure of the first branch is at the target pressure value of the first branch.

[0060] In step S1073, the first target power is compared with the preset power threshold, that is, the magnitude relationship between the first target power and the first preset power threshold is first determined. The first preset power threshold is the minimum power level at which the fuel cell needs to increase the hydrogen pressure. When the first target power is less than or equal to the first preset power threshold, the fuel cell operates under a lower performance requirement, and the first pressure reducing valve can be adjusted to keep the hydrogen pressure at the first pressure stage (the lowest stage) to meet the basic power requirement. The target pressure value of the first branch is determined according to the first target power. The hydrogen output from the hydrogen source enters the first pressure reducing valve from the input end of the first pressure reducing valve for first pressure regulation. Part of the hydrogen after the first pressure regulation flows out from the output end of the first pressure reducing valve 11 and flows into the second fuel cell pressure reducing valve through the input end of the second fuel cell pressure reducing valve. The second fuel cell pressure reducing valve is adjusted according to the target pressure value of the first branch to realize the first branch supplying hydrogen to the fuel cell. The waste hydrogen generated when the fuel cell is in the working state is transported to the second hydrogen engine pressure reducing valve through the third branch and then supplied to the hydrogen engine through the second branch to realize the reuse of waste hydrogen.

[0061] Step S1074, adjusting the pressure reducing valve of the second-stage hydrogen engine so that the hydrogen pressure of the second branch is at the target pressure value of the second branch.

[0062] In step S1074, the second target power is determined according to the first target power and the required power of the whole vehicle, and the target pressure value of the second branch is determined according to the second target power and the calibration data. The hydrogen output from the hydrogen source enters the first-level pressure reducing valve from the input end of the first-level pressure reducing valve for first-level pressure regulation. Another part of the hydrogen after the first-level pressure regulation flows out from the output end of the first-level pressure reducing valve, flows into the second-level hydrogen engine pressure reducing valve through the first input end of the second-level hydrogen engine pressure reducing valve, and the second-level hydrogen engine pressure reducing valve is adjusted according to the target pressure value of the second branch, so that the second branch supplies hydrogen to the fuel cell (at this time, the hydrogen in the second branch includes the hydrogen output from the hydrogen source and the waste hydrogen transported by the third branch), thereby realizing the recycling of waste hydrogen.

[0063] Combination Figure 3 As shown, in a specific embodiment of the present application, when the first target power meets the preset condition, a target control strategy set is generated, including:

[0064] Step S1061, when the first target power is less than the first preset power threshold, generates a first target control strategy set in the target control strategy set, and the first target control strategy set is used to adjust the opening of the integrated pressure reducing valve so that the hydrogen pressure of the first branch is at the first target pressure value of the first branch, and the hydrogen pressure of the second branch is at the first target pressure value of the second branch, and the hydrogen pressure of the third branch is in a preset range.

[0065] In step S1061, when the first target power is less than the first preset power threshold, the first target control strategy set in the target control strategy set is generated, and the first target control strategy set is used to adjust the opening of the secondary fuel cell pressure reducing valve so that the hydrogen pressure of the first branch is at the first target pressure value of the first branch. At this time, the waste hydrogen generated by the fuel cell enters the third branch, and the hydrogen pressure of the third branch is greater than zero. The first target control strategy set is also used to adjust the pressure reduction of the secondary hydrogen engine so that the hydrogen pressure of the second branch is at the first target pressure value of the second branch. Among them, the first target pressure value of the second branch can be a fixed value or an interval value, so as to realize the constant pressure output of the fuel cell and the multi-stage variable pressure output of the hydrogen engine.

[0066] Combination Figure 3 As shown, in a specific embodiment of the present application, when the first target power meets the preset condition, a target control strategy set is generated, including:

[0067] Step S1062, when the first target power is greater than or equal to the first preset power threshold and less than the second preset power threshold, generate a second target control strategy set in the target control strategy set, the second target control strategy set is used to adjust the opening of the integrated pressure reducing valve so that the hydrogen pressure of the first branch is at the second target pressure value of the first branch, and the hydrogen pressure of the second branch is at the second target pressure value of the second branch, and the hydrogen pressure of the third branch is in the preset range.

[0068] In step S1062, when the first target power is greater than the first preset power threshold, if the first target power is greater than or equal to the first preset power threshold and less than the second preset power threshold, it means that the fuel cell needs more hydrogen to meet the higher power output demand, and the opening of the secondary fuel cell pressure reducing valve can be adjusted so that the hydrogen pressure of the first branch is at the second target pressure value of the first branch, providing more hydrogen supply. At this time, the waste hydrogen generated by the fuel cell enters the third branch, and the hydrogen pressure of the third branch is greater than zero. The first target control strategy set is also used to adjust the decompression of the secondary hydrogen engine so that the hydrogen pressure of the second branch is at the second target pressure value of the second branch. Among them, the second target pressure value of the second branch can be a fixed value or an interval value, so as to realize the constant pressure output of the fuel cell and the multi-stage variable pressure output of the hydrogen engine.

[0069] Combination Figure 3 As shown, in a specific embodiment of the present application, when the first target power meets the preset condition, a target control strategy set is generated, including:

[0070] Step S1063, when the first target power is greater than or equal to the second preset power threshold and less than the third preset power threshold, generate a third target control strategy set in the target control strategy set, and the third target control strategy set is used to adjust the opening of the integrated pressure reducing valve so that the hydrogen pressure of the first branch is at the third target pressure value of the first branch, and the hydrogen pressure of the second branch is at the third target pressure value of the second branch, and the hydrogen pressure of the third branch is in the preset range.

[0071] In step S1063, the first target power is judged against the second preset power threshold and the third preset power threshold. When the first target power is greater than or equal to the second preset power threshold and less than the third preset power threshold, the opening of the secondary fuel cell pressure reducing valve can be adjusted so that the hydrogen pressure of the first branch is at the third target pressure value of the first branch, that is, the hydrogen pressure is increased to the highest stage to support the maximum power output of the fuel cell. Among them, the third preset power threshold is the highest power threshold at which the fuel cell can operate safely, and the first target power does not exceed the third preset power threshold. At this time, since the waste hydrogen generated by the fuel cell enters the third branch, the hydrogen pressure of the third branch is greater than zero. The first target control strategy set is also used to adjust the decompression of the secondary hydrogen energy engine so that the hydrogen pressure of the second branch is at the third target pressure value of the second branch. Among them, the second target pressure value of the second branch can be a fixed value or an interval value, so as to realize the constant pressure output of the fuel cell and the multi-stage variable pressure output of the hydrogen energy engine.

[0072] Therefore, by precisely controlling the hydrogen pressure in stages, it is possible to ensure that the fuel cell can operate efficiently under different power requirements. By avoiding unnecessary high-pressure operation, the pressure cycle of the fuel cell can be reduced and its service life can be extended. Using lower hydrogen pressure when power demand is low can reduce energy waste and improve overall energy efficiency.

[0073] In another optional embodiment of the present application, the integrated pressure reducing valve can also be controlled according to the vehicle control strategy, wherein the second target power and the target pressure value of the second branch have a one-to-many correspondence, and the second target power and the target pressure value of the second branch have a one-to-one correspondence. At this time, the multi-stage voltage-changing output of the fuel cell and the constant-pressure output of the hydrogen engine can be achieved.
