DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0030] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments.
[0031] Example 1
[0032] The present invention provides a low-temperature and high-pressure hydrogen storage tank, such as Figures 1 to 8 As shown, it includes an outer barrel body 1, an inner barrel body 2 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the outer barrel body 1, an insulating layer 3 is coated on the outer side of the inner barrel body 2, a liquid extraction / liquid inlet pipe 4 is installed inside the inner barrel body 2, a vaporization coil 5 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the outer barrel body 1, a liquid level meter 6 is fixedly installed between the middle of the outer barrel body 1 and the inner barrel body 2, a base 7 is fixedly installed on the bottom end of the inner wall of the outer barrel body 1, and the top end of the base 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the inner barrel body 2;
[0033] An upper and lower convection assembly 8 is installed on the inner wall of the outer barrel body 1, and the upper and lower convection assembly 8 includes an arc-shaped gathering hood 82 fixedly installed on the outer side of the base 7, a guide pipe 83 is fixedly installed on the bottom end of the arc-shaped gathering hood 82, a spray ring 84 is connected to the outer side of the air outlet of the guide pipe 83, a drainage pipe 85 is equidistantly embedded in the top of the spray ring 84, a guide structure 86 is fixedly installed inside the drainage pipe 85, a blocking ring 861 is fixedly installed on the top of the guide hood 81, a fan blade 88 is rotatably connected between the bottom end of the blocking ring 861 and the top of the arc-shaped gathering hood 82, and a spray pipe 816 is equidistantly embedded in the inside of the blocking ring 861.
[0034] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a plurality of flow holes are opened inside the air guide cover 81, an arc-shaped gathering cover 82 is welded at the bottom of the flow holes inside the air guide cover 81, and the air inlet end of the air guide pipe 83 is fixedly installed inside the arc-shaped gathering cover 82;
[0035] It can be used for gas convergence, which changes the difficulty of gas convergence and allows the converged gas to enter the interior of the flow guide pipe 83 along the arc-shaped gathering cover 82 , which changes the difficulty of gas entering the interior of the flow guide pipe 83 .
[0036] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a water tank 89 is fixedly installed at the top of the barrier cover 87 at the outer position of the base 7, a partition plate 810 is fixedly installed at the top of the inner wall of the water tank 89, and a limiting column 811 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the partition plate 810 at equal distances and symmetrically. A limiting sleeve 812 is sleeved on the outer side of the limiting column 811, and a movable plate 813 is fixedly installed between the bottom ends of the two limiting sleeves 812. An air bag 814 is fixedly installed between the top of the movable plate 813 and the bottom end of the partition plate 810, and an air inlet of the air bag 814 passes through the partition plate 810. A gathering pipe 815 is connected between the air inlet pipes of several air bags 814, and the air outlet end of the gathering pipe 815 is connected to the air inlet end of the spray pipe 816.
[0037] Since the hydrogen storage tank will vibrate during transportation, the water inside the water tank 89 will swing left and right. The swinging of the water inside the water tank 89 will push the movable plate 813 to move. When the movable plate 813 moves, it will drive the limiting sleeve 812 to move outside the limiting column 811. When the movable plate 813 moves, the airbag 814 is compressed. When the airbag 814 is compressed, the gas inside will flow. The gas inside the airbag 814 will enter the spray pipe 816 along the gathering pipe 815 and finally be sprayed out along the spray pipe 816.
[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a booster coil is installed at the bottom end of the inner wall of the outer barrel body 1, a protective ring is fixedly installed on the outside of the insulating layer 3, and a neck tube is fixedly installed between the top end of the inner barrel body 2 and the bottom end of the inner wall of the outer barrel body 1;
[0039] The inner barrel body 2 can be easily limited, the difficulty of limiting the inner barrel body 2 is changed, and the stability of the inner barrel body 2 is increased.
[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a protective cover is fixedly installed on the top of the liquid level gauge 6, and six pipes are installed on the outside of the liquid level gauge 6. A gas phase valve is connected to the outside of the first pipe, a cross is installed on the outside of the second pipe, an explosion piece is installed at the first air outlet of the cross, a pressure gauge is installed at the second air outlet of the cross, a safety valve is installed at the third air outlet of the cross, an exhaust valve is installed at the outside of the third pipe, a pressure regulator is installed at the outside of the fourth pipe, a booster valve is installed at the outside of the fifth pipe, and a liquid phase valve is installed at the outside of the sixth pipe;
[0041] It is used to adjust the air pressure inside the hydrogen storage tank, which changes the difficulty of adjusting the air pressure inside the hydrogen storage tank.
[0042] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the flow guiding structure 86 includes a barrier ring 861 fixedly installed inside the drainage tube 85, a hose 865 is installed at one end of the barrier ring 861, and a rotating tube 864 is connected to one end of the hose 865. A rotating column 863 is fixedly installed in the middle of the rotating tube 864, and a vertical plate 862 is sleeved on the outer side of the rotating column 863. The vertical plate 862 is fixedly installed on one end surface of the barrier ring 861;
[0043] Since the gas inside the drainage tube 85 enters the hose 865 along the barrier ring 861, and enters the rotating tube 864 along the hose 865, and finally sprays on the top of the inner wall of the outer barrel body 1 along the rotating tube 864, the cold air and hot air at the top of the inner wall of the outer barrel body 1 are exchanged, preventing the temperature difference problem inside the outer barrel body 1.
[0044] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, a gear 869 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the rotating column 863 at the inner position of the rotating tube 864, and a rack 868 is meshedly connected on the outer side of the gear 869. A movable plate 867 is fixedly installed on one end of the rack 868, and a spring rod 866 is symmetrically embedded and installed on one end of the movable plate 867;
[0045] Since the gas flow rate is constant, the extrusion pressure of the gas on the movable plate 867 is different, and the different extrusion pressures cause the movable plate 867 to have different extrusion pressures on the spring rod 866, so that the movable plate 867 moves at different distances, and the rack 868 is driven to move by moving different intervals. The movement of the rack 868 drives the gear 869 to rotate, thereby changing the difficulty of rotating the gear 869.
[0046] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, one end face of the spring rod 866 is fixedly connected to the barrier ring 861, and the number of the spring rods 866 is set to two. A circular groove is opened inside the vertical plate 862, and a limiting ring is welded at the outer side of the rotating column 863 at the inner position of the circular groove;
[0047] Through the cooperation of the circular groove and the limiting ring, the rotating column 863 can rotate but cannot be displaced. The cooperation of the two spring rods 866 allows the blocking ring 861 to move stably, preventing the blocking ring 861 from swinging or rotating.
[0048] Working principle: During the actual use of the device, personnel inject hydrogen into the inner barrel 2. At this time, cold air is sprayed between the outer barrel 1 and the inner barrel 2 along the vaporizing coil 5. When there is a temperature difference inside the hydrogen storage tank, the colder gas has a larger density and will naturally sink, while the hotter gas has a smaller density and will rise. This natural convection phenomenon can promote the upward and downward flow of gas inside the hydrogen storage tank. When the gas flows up and down, the cold air enters between the guide cover 81 and the barrier ring 861. Since the distance between the guide cover 81 and the barrier ring 861 is reduced, the guide cover 81 and the barrier ring 861 are closed. The gas flow rate is increased, and the increased gas flow rate drives the fan blades 88 to rotate. When the fan blades 88 rotate, the cold air is accelerated to flow. The accelerated gas flows into the guide pipe 83, and finally enters the spray ring 84 along the guide pipe 83 to be sprayed on the top of the hydrogen storage tank. At the same time, part of the gas enters the guide pipe 85, and finally is discharged along the guide structure 86. This can effectively increase the flow rate of the gas, improve the circulation efficiency of the gas, further improve the heat transfer effect, reduce local overheating, and ensure the stability and safety of the hydrogen storage tank under low temperature and high pressure conditions.
[0049] At the same time, since the hydrogen storage tank will vibrate during transportation, the water inside the water tank 89 will swing left and right. When the water inside the water tank 89 swings, it pushes the movable plate 813 to move. When the movable plate 813 moves, it drives the limiting sleeve 812 to move outside the limiting column 811. When the movable plate 813 moves, it compresses the airbag 814. When the airbag 814 is compressed, the gas inside flows. The gas inside the airbag 814 enters the spray pipe 816 along the gathering pipe 815 and is finally ejected along the spray pipe 816. The ejected gas blows on the surface of the fan blade 88, which causes the fan blade 88 to rotate. This method can effectively reduce the damage to the hydrogen storage tank caused by vibration, improve the stability and safety of the system, reduce the impact of vibration on the hydrogen storage tank, and use the swinging energy of water to enhance the flow of gas and improve the heat transfer effect.
[0050] Due to the speed of the gas inside the drainage tube 85, the movable plate 867 moves. When the movable plate 867 moves, it drives the spring rod 866 to be compressed, and synchronously drives the rack 868 to move. When the rack 868 moves, it drives the gear 869 to rotate. When the gear 869 rotates, it drives the rotating tube 864 to rotate. At the same time, when multiple rotating tubes 864 rotate synchronously, the gas generates convection after being ejected, so that the cold air enters the top of the inner wall of the hydrogen storage tank evenly, effectively solving the problem of uneven distribution when the gas is directly injected, so that the cold air can evenly cover the top of the inner wall of the hydrogen storage tank, which helps to improve the cooling efficiency or gas replacement effect of the hydrogen storage tank, ensure the safety and performance stability of the hydrogen storage tank, and can automatically adjust according to the change of the gas speed inside the drainage tube 85 without external manual intervention to adapt to different gas flow states. It has strong adaptability and can better cope with complex and changeable working environments.
[0051] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit them.
