[0002] A hydrogen vehicle refers to a mechatronic personal transportation vehicle that uses hydrogen energy as an auxiliary energy source based on an ordinary two-wheeled vehicle. The working logic of the existing two-wheeled hydrogen power system is mostly that when the system is started, the lithium battery in the system first powers the entire vehicle, and the hydrogen system is started synchronously. During this process, the hydrogen system and the lithium battery simultaneously supply power to the vehicle motor to move forward, or a single-battery range extender is used. However, due to the limitations of existing technology, after starting the hydrogen system, the internal fuel cell needs a period of time to increase the power to the maximum, so vehicles equipped with this system have the pain point of insufficient kinetic energy when the vehicle starts.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0038] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments.

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0042] The first embodiment of the present application provides a UBI (Uninterrupted Battery Life) dual-energy tube fuel cell system assembly, which can be mounted on an extended-range two-wheeled vehicle, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the fuel cell system assembly includes a fuel cell unit 1, a takeaway box 2 and an integrated MRD unit 3.

[0043] in,

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, the fuel cell unit 1 includes a fuel cell stack 11 (hereinafter referred to as the stack 11) and a solid-state hydrogen storage tank 12; wherein the stack 11 is configured to generate electrical energy and charge the lithium battery under normal working conditions. Specifically, on the one hand, the stack 11 is connected to the air and can obtain oxygen in the air; on the other hand, the stack 11 is connected to the solid-state hydrogen storage tank 12 and can obtain hydrogen; through the reaction of hydrogen and oxygen, electrical energy and heat are generated. The principle of the stack 11 generating electricity using oxygen and hydrogen belongs to the prior art and will not be described in detail here; for details, reference can also be made to the description of power generation disclosed in CN118769932A.

[0045] The fuel cell stack 11 is provided with first fins 13 for heat exchange extending from the inside of the fuel cell stack 11 to the outside, which can cool the fuel cell stack 11 in operation.

[0046] The solid hydrogen storage tank 12 stores hydrogen using solid hydrogen storage technology. The solid hydrogen storage tank 12 is connected to the battery stack 11 through a pipeline and can provide hydrogen for the battery stack 11. The specific implementation and control methods can also refer to other existing technologies, such as CN118769932A.

[0047] In one embodiment, the fuel cell stack 11 is adjacent to the solid hydrogen storage tank 12, so that the waste heat generated by the fuel cell stack 11 during operation can heat the solid hydrogen storage tank 12 and accelerate the hydrogen release efficiency.

[0048] The fuel cell unit 1 is provided with an output port 14, which is configured to output the electricity generated by the stack 11. In some embodiments, the output port 14 can be a magnetic wireless charging terminal; the device to be charged only needs to be gently magnetically attached to it to start charging; to a certain extent, the fuel cell unit 1 can be regarded as a larger "power bank".

[0049] The fuel cell unit 1 also includes an FCU control module 15, which is configured to control the amount of electricity output by the stack 11; for example, the amount of power generated by the stack is controlled by controlling the hydrogen output of the solid hydrogen storage tank 12, which may be partially referred to in CN118769932A.

[0050] In some embodiments, the FCU control module 15 is further configured to continuously collect a voltage level signal output by the fuel cell stack 11 , and disconnect the power supply line when the voltage level output by the fuel cell stack exceeds a preset threshold.

[0051] like Figure 2 As shown, the takeaway box 2 includes a hot box 21 and a cold box 22 arranged adjacent to each other, and a partition 23 is arranged between the two for separation. The hot box 21 can be used to store food that needs to be kept warm, such as stir-fried vegetables, noodles, etc., and the cold box 22 can be used to store food that needs to be kept cold, such as cold drinks, cakes, etc.

[0052] The partition 23 includes a graphene layer 24 and a semiconductor sheet 25 which are arranged adjacent to each other. Relatively speaking, the graphene layer 24 is close to the hot box 21 and away from the cold box 22; the semiconductor sheet 25 is close to the cold box 22 and away from the hot box 21; thus, the graphene layer 24 is located between the hot box 21 and the semiconductor sheet 25, and the semiconductor sheet 25 is located between the graphene layer 24 and the cold box 22.

[0053] The graphene layer 24 itself has good thermal conductivity, and is configured to provide heat for the hot box 21, so that the hot box 21 can provide enough heat to keep the food warm. At least a portion of the graphene layer 24 is adjacent to the fuel cell unit 1 and is in contact with the first fin 13 located outside the stack 11, so that the heat of the first fin 13 diffuses into the graphene layer 24, so that the stack 11 is cooled and the graphene layer 24 is heated. According to some experiments, the temperature of the first fin 13 can reach about 65°C, so the temperature of the graphene layer 24 can also be roughly heated to about 65°C. Since the graphene layer 24 is close to the hot box 21 and provides heat for it, the temperature of the hot box 21 can be roughly maintained at about 30°C.

[0054] The semiconductor chip 25 has a hot surface 251 facing the graphene layer 24 and a cold surface 252 facing the cold box 22. The semiconductor chip 25 is configured to obtain heat from the hot surface 251 and generate electricity using the temperature difference between the cold surface and the hot surface. The semiconductor chip 25 generates electricity using the existing PN junction temperature difference power generation technology, so this function can be achieved by purchasing commercially available semiconductor chips.

[0055] The cold box 22 is also provided with a fan 26, and the semiconductor chip 25 is electrically connected to the fan 26 to power the fan 26 for rotation. The fan 26 is configured to blow the cold air cooled at the cold surface 252 to the entire cold box 22, so that the air circulates in the cold box 22, thereby continuously reducing the temperature of the cold surface 252 until equilibrium is reached.

[0056] Furthermore, the cold surface 252 of the semiconductor chip is provided with a second fin 253, which is located in the cold box 22 and can extend on the inner wall of the cold box 22 (the side of the partition 23 close to the cold box 22). The wind circulating in the cold box 22 can cool the second fin 253 of the cold surface 252, thereby accelerating the cooling effect of the cold box 22.

[0057] According to some experiments, the temperature of the graphene layer 24 is approximately 65°C. At the beginning, the hot surface 251 of the semiconductor wafer can reach about 60°C, and the cold surface 252 is approximately at room temperature 20°C; after the semiconductor wafer 25 reaches dynamic equilibrium through the hot and cold temperature difference, the hot surface can be maintained at about 30°C, and the cold surface can be maintained at about 0°C; equilibrium can be reached in approximately 10 minutes.

[0058] In some embodiments, an LED display screen 27 may be further provided on the takeaway box 2, which is electrically connected to the semiconductor chip 25 to obtain electrical energy, thereby being able to display the temperatures of the hot box 21 and the cold box 22 of the takeaway box.

[0059] The takeaway box 2 can be a square relatively sealed space, and the outer shell can be made of aluminum alloy. A cover plate is provided on the top of the box body, and an electronic lock is provided on the cover plate.

[0060] The graphene layer 24 in this embodiment can not only provide heat to the hot box 21, but also provide heat to the hot surface 251 of the semiconductor chip. Overall, the hot box 21 is heated by the graphene layer 24, and the cold box 22 is cooled by the second fin 253 on the cold surface of the semiconductor chip. The semiconductor chip 25 is electrically connected to the fan 26, and the electricity generated by the semiconductor chip 25 is provided to the fan 26 to provide power for the air circulation of the cold box 22, so that refrigeration occurs. Through such a setting, a takeaway box 2 that can keep warm and keep cold at the same time can be obtained, which provides a guarantee for maintaining the temperature of food in the takeaway industry; and it utilizes the waste heat of the battery stack 11, so on the one hand, it saves external energy supply, and on the other hand, it avoids the need to arrange additional lines for cooling waste heat, so that the energy consumption of the entire system is lower, and the line layout is simpler.

[0061] The working process of the takeaway box is as follows: during use, the two-wheeled vehicle needs to be started first, and the fuel cell stack 11 generates a large amount of heat (temperature is about 80°C) during the process of generating electricity using hydrogen. The first fin 13 is tightly attached to the surface of the fuel cell stack 11, and the thermal conductive tape of the superconducting graphene layer 24 is attached to the first fin 13. After a tight fit, the other end is attached to the hot surface 251 of the semiconductor chip in the takeaway box 2, providing thermal energy to the semiconductor chip 25, driving the semiconductor chip to start passive startup.

[0062] After receiving the heat energy of the graphene layer 24, the hot surface 251 of the semiconductor chip forms a natural temperature difference with the cold surface, causing the semiconductor chip 25 to start successfully and start to output electrical energy to the outside. The output electrical energy is used to power the fan 26 in the cold box 22, and the fan 26 starts to run. The fan 26 can be close to the cold surface 252 of the semiconductor chip. When the fan 26 starts to run, it will reduce the temperature in the closed cold box 22, thereby deepening the temperature difference between the hot and cold sides of the semiconductor chip, causing the semiconductor chip to eventually approach the optimal performance and stabilize the temperature of the cold surface 252 at 0 degrees. In the hot box 21, the graphene layer 24 heats the inside of the takeaway box, and the temperature is stabilized at 30 degrees.

[0063] The walls of the hot and cold boxes are both made of heat-insulating cotton. When the semiconductor chip 25 reaches a balanced working state within 10 minutes, the cold surface 252 will continue to remain at a constant temperature of about 0 degrees, and the hot surface 251 will remain at a constant temperature of about 30 degrees, thereby achieving the physical effect of cold and heat existing in the same box at the same time.

[0064] At this time, the temperature sensors in the hot and cold boxes will transmit the hot box temperature and the cold box temperature values ​​to the LCD screen on the front panel of the box for real-time display. In addition, when the hot and cold boxes are working stably, the cooling fan in the cold box can be automatically cut off, and the hot and cold boxes will enter the hot insulation and cold insulation states without power consumption, thus achieving the design goal of ultra-low power consumption.

[0065] like Figure 1 As shown, the integrated MRD unit 3 (Manufacturing Ready Dicision) includes two identical lithium batteries, namely a first lithium battery 31 and a second lithium battery 32; the two are arranged in parallel and can switch to power the integrated MRD unit. The same at least includes: the same parameters such as battery cells, packs, and charge and discharge rates, so that the two can be interchangeable. The two interchangeable lithium batteries are the dual-energy tubes. The lithium battery can be a semi-solid lithium battery installed on a two-wheeled vehicle, such as a semi-solid lithium iron phosphate battery.

[0066] The first lithium battery 31 has a first switch K1 at the charging end and a third switch K3 at the power supply end; the second lithium battery 32 has a second switch K2 at the charging end and a fourth switch K4 at the power supply end. The first and second switches K1, K2 are respectively located between the fuel cell unit 1 and the lithium batteries 31, 32; the third and fourth switches K3, K4 are respectively located between the lithium batteries 31, 32 and the power-consuming devices of the fuel cell system assembly, the power-consuming devices include but are not limited to the motor driving the wheels of the two-wheeled vehicle, the instrument panel for display, the lights, the control system, etc.

[0067] The first and second switches K1 and K2 can be connected to the output port 14 of the fuel cell unit 1 respectively, and the two switches are configured to be able to switch with each other so that the fuel cell unit 1 charges the first lithium battery 31 or the second lithium battery 32. The third and fourth switches K3 and K4 are connected to the power-consuming device respectively, and the two switches are configured to be able to switch with each other so that the first lithium battery 31 or the second lithium battery 32 supplies power to the power-consuming device. Such a setting can achieve uninterrupted battery life (UBI) of the lithium battery.

[0068] The integrated MRD unit 3 also includes a BMS (Battery Management System) control module 33 and a vehicle controller 34; the BMS control module 33 is configured to collect the power and voltage level signals of the two lithium batteries in real time and transmit them to the vehicle controller 34; the vehicle controller 34 is configured to receive signals from the BMS control module 33 to determine whether switching between the two lithium batteries is required, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the first, second, third, and fourth switches respectively.

[0069] A DC / DC converter may also be provided between the output port 14 of the fuel cell unit 1 and the two lithium batteries, which is configured to convert the power from the battery stack 11 into DC / DC and then deliver it to the lithium battery through the magnetic charging port.

[0070] In some embodiments, the fuel cell stack 11 is adjacent to the lithium batteries 31 and 32. The heat dissipated by the lithium batteries during power consumption is provided to the fuel cell stack 11 as an energy source for starting the membrane electrode in the fuel cell stack 11, thereby achieving passive starting, reducing heating devices and pipeline layout, and reasonably utilizing battery heat dissipation, so that the efficiency can be increased by 20% or more, and the economic benefits are better.

[0071] It can be understood that each module in the present application may include a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, which can realize the corresponding functions of each module.

[0072] The fuel cell system assembly provided in this embodiment only needs to replace the hydrogen storage tank, so that the two semi-solid lithium iron phosphate batteries can alternately and continuously supply power to the entire vehicle, which can meet the needs of uninterrupted use of the vehicle, ensure power stability, and achieve a range of about 115km. The fuel cell unit adopts a modular design and is interconnected with the vehicle body through magnetic wireless fast charging, which can achieve rapid disassembly and assembly of the module. When a lithium battery is working, the fuel cell unit is performing compensatory input, which improves the endurance of the original battery and achieves an effective mileage of more than 2 times.

[0073] The fuel cell system assembly provided in this embodiment can solve the pain points of the existing hydrogen system, such as insufficient power during startup and long-term operation, time required for power increase, inability to recycle waste heat, and need to stop for charging. The two-wheeled vehicle provided in this embodiment has stable power, improves the efficiency and service life of the fuel cell, and has the advantages of low carbon and environmental protection, efficient and time-saving hydrogen replenishment and replacement, etc., which can meet the application scenarios of most existing two-wheeled vehicles.

[0074] A second embodiment of the present application provides a control method of a UBI dual-energy tube fuel cell system assembly (hereinafter referred to as a control method), wherein the fuel cell system assembly is the UBI dual-energy tube fuel cell system assembly described in any of the above embodiments; the control method comprises the following steps:

[0075] S1: Before the vehicle is started, the first lithium battery 31 and the second lithium battery 32 are both fully loaded; the BMS control module 33 collects the power and voltage level signals of the two lithium batteries in real time and transmits them to the vehicle controller 34.

[0076] S2: When the vehicle starts, the vehicle controller 34 controls K3 to close, K1, K2 and K4 to open, and the first lithium battery 31 supplies power to the power-consuming device (such as the motor); when the remaining power of the first lithium battery 31 reaches the first threshold, K1 is closed, the fuel cell unit 1 is started, and the stack 11 starts to generate electricity to charge the first lithium battery 31; at this time, the first lithium battery 31 is charged and powered at the same time. The first threshold selects 70-80% of the total power of the first lithium battery 31, for example, it can be 70%, 75%, 80%, etc. The higher first threshold is selected because charging starts at 80% remaining power, and there is 60% of the remaining power in the battery, which can give full play to the efficiency of the lithium battery charging and discharging at the same time; if the threshold is too high, it is easy to be filled too quickly, considering the situation that the Meituan takeaway car needs to stop to deliver food; if the threshold is too low, it may be because the battery is already low in winter, resulting in too slow charging, and the situation of insufficient charging and discharging occurs.

[0077] S3: When the solid-state hydrogen storage tank 12 is exhausted, the first lithium battery 31 continues to be used for power supply. When the remaining power reaches the second threshold, it enters the low power maintenance state; at this time, the solid-state hydrogen storage tank 12 is replaced, K1 is kept closed, K2 is opened, K3 is switched to open, K4 is closed, the fuel cell unit 1 charges the first lithium battery 31, and the second lithium battery 32 starts to supply power to the power-consuming equipment.
