Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of solid-state hydrogen storage fuel-electric forklifts, and in particular relates to a cold start system and method for a solid-state hydrogen storage fuel-electric forklift. Background Art

[0002] As a new type of clean and pollution-free energy, hydrogen has been receiving continuous attention in recent years. Solid-state hydrogen storage has the advantages of large hydrogen storage capacity, simple storage conditions and long service life. The characteristics of metal alloys are large storage capacity and safe use process, but stable hydrides require higher temperatures to undergo dehydrogenation (dehydrogenation) reactions. Metal hydrides release hydrogen when heated. This process is called desorption. Hydrogen atoms (H) move from the metal to the surface of the material and combine into hydrogen molecules (H2), thereby achieving the flow of hydrogen.

[0003] In the prior art, solid-state hydrogen storage fuel-electric forklifts have difficulty starting in low-temperature environments, mainly including the two major problems that the power battery cannot be charged in low-temperature conditions and the solid-state hydrogen storage mechanism cannot release hydrogen in low temperatures. If the cold start of a solid-state hydrogen storage fuel-electric forklift is performed by means of resistance wire heating, a large amount of energy will be consumed.

[0004] The invention patent application with publication number CN117841784A discloses a solid-state hydrogen storage fuel cell forklift system and its thermal management method. The system includes a fuel cell system, a power battery component, and a hydrogen storage and buffer component. The method includes calculating the heat released by the fuel cell system and the power battery, as well as the heat absorbed by the hydrogen storage material and the heat absorption energy storage material, and guiding the selection of the cooling fan or the selection and dosage of the heat absorption energy storage material according to the heat conservation relationship. The capacity stored in the heat absorption energy storage material helps the system to start quickly, and the fuel cell is heated quickly by heating the solid-state hydrogen storage device and the power battery. However, the heat generation of the battery in the low temperature environment (hundred watts) of the invention application cannot support the heat absorption (kilowatts) in the process of solid-state hydrogen storage releasing hydrogen, so the fuel cell cannot be guaranteed to start under low temperature conditions. In addition, the battery pack BMS strategy in the low temperature state will limit the charging of the battery pack. If the heat generated by the battery pack is given to the fuel cell system startup and the solid-state hydrogen storage heat absorption and hydrogen release through the heat exchanger, the power of the fuel cell cannot be effectively loaded after startup, thereby causing the startup failure of the fuel cell system.

[0005] The invention patent application with publication number CN116968503A discloses a thermal management system for electric forklifts, including: a battery cooling loop, a battery heating loop, a cab cooling loop, a cab heating loop, a conduction control unit, and a thermal management control module; the thermal management control module controls the operation of the conduction control unit and each loop according to the temperature data of the battery in the electric forklift and / or the thermal management request input from the outside; the invention satisfies the thermal management requirements of the battery and the cab at the same time by providing a set of thermal management systems. However, the invention application is for the thermal management of the whole vehicle of the electric forklift. By heat exchanging the heat dissipation system of the battery pack with the air conditioner in the cab, the heat generated by the battery pack can be effectively utilized during the heating process. However, since there is no solid-state hydrogen storage system in the system, the cold start problem of the fuel cell cannot be solved. In addition, during the heating process, since only the application of heat is increased, the heat dissipation requirements of the battery pack during high-rate discharge cannot be supported. Summary of the invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art and to provide a solid-state hydrogen storage fuel-electric forklift cold start system and method, which heats the power battery and the solid-state hydrogen storage mechanism through the heat generated by the hydraulic system itself, thereby realizing the charging of the power battery at low temperatures and the release of hydrogen by the solid-state hydrogen storage mechanism to complete the cold start of the fuel cell system.

[0016] Furthermore, after the power battery is heated to a preset temperature and the second solenoid valve is opened, more heated refrigerant is allowed to flow through the solid hydrogen storage mechanism through the second heating tube by adjusting the opening of the thermostat. The purpose of adding a thermostat is that the heat demand of the solid hydrogen storage mechanism is much greater than the heat demand of the power battery, and by adjusting the opening of the thermostat, the flow of the heated refrigerant flowing to the solid hydrogen storage mechanism and the power battery can be distributed.
