[0007] Furthermore, a fixing block is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sealed bottle, a sleeve is fixedly connected to the right side of the fixing block, and three air inlet grooves are opened on the fixing block.

[0008] Furthermore, a piston 1 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sleeve, a slide rod 1 is fixedly connected to the right side of the piston 1, the right end of the slide rod 1 slides and extends to the right side of the sleeve, the right end of the slide rod 1 is fixedly connected to a connecting plate, the inner wall of the sealed bottle is fixedly connected to a fixing plate, a ventilation groove is provided on the fixing plate, the outer diameter of the slide rod 1 is smaller than the inner diameter of the ventilation groove, and the left side of the connecting plate is in contact with the right side of the fixing plate.

[0009] Furthermore, a spring is wound around the outer wall of the sliding rod 1, one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the sleeve, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the connecting plate.

[0013] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: (1) The present invention is provided with a supply mechanism. The interior of the hydrogen cylinder is generally filled with compressed hydrogen. After the hydrogen cylinder is connected to the air inlet pipe, the compressed hydrogen in the hydrogen cylinder will be discharged to the interior of the diverter box through the air inlet pipe. Under the action of the diverter box and multiple diverter pipes, the bottom plate hydrogen is diverted and discharged to the interior of multiple sealed bottles.

The design of the flared pipe allows the gas to be further diffused and the speed to be increased when it flows through this part. This process helps to reduce energy loss. The electronic valve is used to control the discharged hydrogen, which greatly improves the hydrogen delivery efficiency and safety of the overall device.

[0022] When in use, the hydrogen cylinder 22 is generally filled with compressed hydrogen by providing a supply mechanism 2. After the hydrogen cylinder 22 and the air inlet pipe 23 are connected, the compressed hydrogen in the hydrogen cylinder 22 is discharged to the inside of the shunt box 24 through the air inlet pipe 23. After passing through the shunt box 24 and the plurality of shunt pipes 27, the hydrogen in the bottom plate 1 is shunted and discharged to the inside of the plurality of sealed bottles 261. At this time, the expanded hydrogen in the hydrogen cylinder 22 is released, so that the plurality of shunt pipes 27 buffer and shunt the expanded gas, thereby avoiding damage to the transport supply system caused by excessive tension during gas expansion, thereby improving the stability of the overall transport process; By providing an adjustment component 26, after the expanded gas is guided into the adjustment component 26, the gas will flow into the inner middle section of the sealed bottle 261 through the multiple air inlet grooves 264 on the fixed block 262.

At the same time, the hydrogen in the sealed bottle 261 can be squeezed out through the outlet pipe 28. After the piston 29 moves to the left side of the outlet pipe 28, the internal space of the sealed bottle 261 on the left side of the piston 29 is in a sealed state. At this time, the electronic valve 282 can be closed, and the hydraulic cylinder 4 is driven to drive the multiple pistons 29 to move to the right until the piston 29 moves to the right side of the outlet pipe 28. After the hydrogen in the hydrogen bottle 22 is pumped into the sealed bottle 261, the electronic valve 282 can be opened to discharge the hydrogen. Not only can the emission of hydrogen be controlled, but also the residual hydrogen in the hydrogen bottle 22 can be pumped out, thereby achieving more efficient resource utilization. By providing the outlet pipe 28 and the expansion pipe 281, the gas inside the system can flow and adjust effectively, thereby improving the overall performance and efficiency. The outlet pipe 28 plays an important role in the discharge process of the gas. It not only ensures that the gas can be discharged smoothly, but also reduces the accumulation of internal pressure, avoiding possible leakage and failure. The design of the expansion pipe 281 allows the gas to be further diffused and the speed to be increased when it flows through this part. This process helps to reduce energy loss, and cooperates with the electronic valve 282 to regulate the discharged hydrogen, greatly improving the hydrogen transportation efficiency and safety of the overall device.
