Description
Technical Field

[0002] With the rapid development of new energy, hydrogen has gradually gained attention due to its advantages such as cleanliness, pollution-free, high efficiency, storability, and convenient transportation. After preparation, hydrogen is generally stored in cylinders, where it is compressed to form high-pressure hydrogen inside the cylinders.
[0003] After hydrogen is produced using the traditional atmospheric pressure water electrolysis process, in order to store the hydrogen in a gas cylinder, an additional gas compression pump is required to allow the hydrogen in the gas cylinder to reach the predetermined pressure. This process is rather cumbersome.
[0004] In this regard, hydrogen production devices currently use PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane) water electrolysis hydrogen production technology to directly produce high-pressure hydrogen. The existing hydrogen production devices include a clamping mechanism and an electrolysis structure. The clamping mechanism is used to clamp the electrolysis structure. The electrolysis structure can generate high-pressure hydrogen therein when power is applied. If the sealing between the outer peripheral side of the electrolysis structure and the clamping mechanism is poor, hydrogen leakage is likely to occur on the outer peripheral side of the electrolysis structure. Therefore, in order to prevent leakage of high-pressure hydrogen, it is necessary to ensure that the electrolysis structure has sufficient sealing after assembly. Summary of the Invention

[0031] The present invention also relates to a hydrogen production device, comprising the electrolysis structure.
[0032] Compared with the prior art, the electrolysis structure according to the embodiment of the present invention has the following advantages:
[0033] In the present invention, when the electrolysis unit is working, one of the titanium sheets serves as an anode and the other titanium sheet serves as a cathode. Water flows into the titanium sheet serving as the anode through the water inlet channel of the second drainage ring to electrolyze hydrogen ions. The electrolyzed water can then be discharged through the return water channel of the second drainage ring. At the same time, the ionized hydrogen ions can pass through the membrane electrode and reach the titanium sheet serving as the cathode to react and produce high-pressure hydrogen. The high-pressure hydrogen can enter the hydrogen outlet channel of the first drainage ring to facilitate the collection of the high-pressure hydrogen and complete the preparation of the high-pressure hydrogen. Since the electrolysis structure is used to prepare high-pressure hydrogen, it is in a high-pressure environment. In order to ensure the sealing performance, the present invention provides an outer sealing component on the outside of the electrolysis unit, so that the elastic sealing ring is sleeved on the outer periphery of the electrolysis unit, and then the support ring is sleeved on the outer periphery of the elastic sealing ring. The thickness of the elastic sealing ring in the axial direction is greater than the thickness of the support ring in the axial direction and the thickness of the electrolysis unit in the axial direction. Moreover, both sides of the elastic sealing ring in the axial direction are flat, and the cross-section of the elastic sealing ring is rectangular. Therefore, when the clamping mechanism clamps the electrolysis structure, the elastic sealing ring is squeezed and deformed, and under the action of the support ring tightening the elastic sealing ring, the elastic sealing ring can be pressed against each other by the clamping mechanism, and the elastic sealing ring can also tighten the electrolysis unit, so that the electrolysis structure forms a tight structure, ensuring that the electrolysis structure can have sufficient sealing performance, making it difficult for high-pressure hydrogen to leak, and making the electrolysis structure more stable.
[0034] Furthermore, since the membrane electrode is clamped between the first drainage ring and the second drainage ring, and the outer diameter of the first drainage ring and the outer diameter of the second drainage ring are both larger than the outer diameter of the membrane electrode, the first drainage ring and the second drainage ring clamp the outer periphery of the membrane electrode, then there will be a gap between the areas of the first drainage ring and the second drainage ring close to the outer ring, so when the clamping mechanism clamps the electrolysis structure, the inner periphery of the elastic sealing ring will squeeze into the gap between the areas of the first drainage ring and the second drainage ring close to the outer ring, which can strengthen the sealing between the first drainage ring and the second drainage ring, and further prevent the leakage of high-pressure hydrogen.
[0035] In addition, since the titanium sheet has a high flatness, after the titanium sheet is attached to the side of the membrane electrode, it can fit tightly to the side of the membrane electrode, thereby providing good support for the membrane electrode and ensuring the stability of the electrolysis structure.

[0055] like Figures 1 to 13 As shown, the present invention relates to an electrolysis structure that utilizes PEM water electrolysis hydrogen production technology to produce high-pressure hydrogen. The electrolysis structure includes an electrolysis unit 1 and an outer sealing component 2.
[0056] The electrolysis unit 1 includes a membrane electrode 11, a titanium junction sheet 12, a first drainage ring 13 and a second drainage ring 14. The first drainage ring 13, the membrane electrode 11 and the second drainage ring 14 are stacked together in sequence. The membrane electrode 11 is circular. The outer diameters of the first drainage ring 13 and the second drainage ring 14 are both larger than the outer diameter of the membrane electrode 11. The first drainage ring 13 and the second drainage ring 14 clamp the outer periphery of the membrane electrode 11. The first drainage ring 13 is provided with a hydrogen outlet channel 100 connected to one side of the membrane electrode 11. The second drainage ring 14 is provided with a water inlet channel 200 and a water return channel 300 both connected to the other side of the membrane electrode 11. Two titanium junction sheets 12 are provided, and the two titanium junction sheets 12 are correspondingly attached to both sides of the membrane electrode 11.
[0057] The outer sealing assembly 2 includes a support ring 21 and an elastic sealing ring 22. The support ring 21 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the elastic sealing ring 22, and the elastic sealing ring 22 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the electrolysis unit 1. The axial thickness of the elastic sealing ring 22 is greater than the axial thickness of the support ring 21 and the axial thickness of the electrolysis unit 1. Both sides of the elastic sealing ring 22 in the axial direction are flat, and the cross-section of the elastic sealing ring 22 is rectangular.
[0058] In the present invention, when the electrolysis unit 1 is working, one of the titanium knots 12 serves as an anode and the other titanium knot 12 serves as a cathode. Water flows into the titanium knot 12 serving as the anode through the water inlet channel 200 of the second drainage ring 14 to electrolyze hydrogen ions. The electrolyzed water can then be discharged through the return water channel 300 of the second drainage ring 14. At the same time, the ionized hydrogen ions can pass through the membrane electrode 11 and reach the titanium knot 12 serving as the cathode to react and produce high-pressure hydrogen. The high-pressure hydrogen can enter the hydrogen outlet channel 100 of the first drainage ring 13 to facilitate the collection of the high-pressure hydrogen and complete the preparation of the high-pressure hydrogen. Since the electrolysis structure is used to prepare high-pressure hydrogen, it is in a high-pressure environment. In order to ensure sealing, the present invention is provided with an outer sealing component 2 on the outside of the electrolysis unit 1, so that the elastic sealing ring 22 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the electrolysis unit 1, and then the support ring 21 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the elastic sealing ring 22, and the thickness of the elastic sealing ring 22 in the axial direction is greater than the thickness of the support ring 21 in the axial direction, and is also greater than the thickness of the electrolysis unit 1 in the axial direction. Moreover, both sides of the elastic sealing ring 22 in the axial direction are flat, and the cross-section of the elastic sealing ring 22 is rectangular, so that when the clamping mechanism 3 clamps the electrolysis structure, the elastic sealing ring 22 is squeezed and deformed, and under the action of the support ring 21 tightening the elastic sealing ring 22, the elastic sealing ring 22 can be pressed against each other with the clamping mechanism 3, and the elastic sealing ring 22 can also tighten the electrolysis unit 1, so that the electrolysis structure forms a tight structure, ensuring that the electrolysis structure can have sufficient sealing, making it difficult for high-pressure hydrogen to leak, and making the electrolysis structure more stable.
[0059] Furthermore, since the membrane electrode 11 is clamped between the first drainage ring 13 and the second drainage ring 14, and the outer diameter of the first drainage ring 13 and the outer diameter of the second drainage ring 14 are both larger than the outer diameter of the membrane electrode 11, the first drainage ring 13 and the second drainage ring 14 clamp the outer periphery of the membrane electrode 11, then there will be a gap between the areas of the first drainage ring 13 and the second drainage ring 14 close to the outer circle, so that when the clamping mechanism 3 clamps the electrolysis structure, the inner periphery of the elastic sealing ring 22 will squeeze into the gap between the areas of the first drainage ring 13 and the second drainage ring 14 close to the outer circle, which can strengthen the sealing between the first drainage ring 13 and the second drainage ring 14 and further prevent the leakage of high-pressure hydrogen.
[0060] In addition, since the titanium sheet 12 has a high flatness, after the titanium sheet 12 is attached to the side of the membrane electrode 11, it can be tightly attached to the side of the membrane electrode 11, thereby providing good support for the membrane electrode 11 and ensuring the stability of the electrolysis structure.
[0061] In this embodiment, the outer sealing assembly 2 further includes a supporting sealing gasket 23 . The supporting ring 21 is a stainless steel supporting ring 21 . The supporting sealing gaskets 23 are attached to both sides of the supporting ring 21 in the axial direction.
[0062] Specifically, the support gasket 23 is made of Teflon. First, the support gaskets 23 are attached to both sides of the support ring 21. This allows the support gaskets 23 to be tightly attached to the clamping mechanism 3 after the clamping mechanism 3 clamps the electrolytic structure, further enhancing the sealing effect. Consequently, the electrolytic structure is tightly attached to the clamping mechanism 3 via the elastic sealing ring 22, and also to the clamping mechanism 3 via the support gasket 23, achieving a dual sealing effect and ensuring the sealing of the electrolytic structure. Second, because the support ring 21 is made of stainless steel, it provides sufficient strength to clamp the elastic sealing ring 22, and then the support gaskets 23 are attached to both sides of the stainless steel support ring 21. This eliminates the need for high flatness requirements on both sides of the support ring 21, while ensuring sealing performance. This reduces the difficulty and precision of machining the support ring 21. Third, Teflon's high chemical stability and high temperature resistance ensure that the support gasket 23 has a long service life and is highly practical.
[0063] In this embodiment, when the elastic sealing ring 22 is squeezed by the axial force, the inner periphery of the elastic sealing ring 22 is tightly wrapped around the outer periphery of the first drainage ring 13 and the second drainage ring 14, and the inner periphery of the elastic sealing ring 22 is squeezed into between the first drainage ring 13 and the second drainage ring 14, thereby strengthening the sealing between the first drainage ring 13 and the second drainage ring 14.
[0064] In this embodiment, the elastic sealing ring 22 is a rubber elastic sealing ring 22, so as to ensure the sealing performance of the electrolysis structure.
[0065] In this embodiment, the electrolysis unit 1 further includes an intermediate sealing ring 15, which is sandwiched between the first drainage ring 13 and the second drainage ring 14, and the membrane electrode 11 is sandwiched between the first drainage ring 13 and the intermediate sealing ring 15, or the membrane electrode 11 is sandwiched between the second drainage ring 14 and the intermediate sealing ring 15.
[0066] The first drain ring 13 and the second drain ring 14 are sandwiched by an intermediate sealing ring 15. Made of Teflon, the intermediate sealing ring 15 ensures a tight seal between the first and second drain rings 13, 14 due to its high chemical stability and high temperature resistance, extending the life of the electrolysis structure. The edge of the membrane electrode 11 is then sandwiched between the first drain ring 13 and the intermediate sealing ring 15, or between the second drain ring 14 and the intermediate sealing ring 15. This allows the membrane electrode 11 to block the inner rings of the first and second drain rings 13, 14, and restrict water from passing through the inner ring of the second drain ring 14 to the inner ring of the first drain ring 13, allowing only hydrogen ions to pass through the membrane electrode 11 to the titanium junction sheet 12, which serves as the cathode.
[0067] Preferably, the electrolysis unit 1 further includes an end sealing ring 16 , and the end sealing ring 16 is attached to both sides of the first drainage ring 13 and the second drainage ring 14 facing away from each other.
[0068] The first drain ring 13 and the second drain ring 14 are both provided with end sealing rings 16 on both sides facing away from each other. The end sealing rings 16 are made of Teflon. Due to Teflon's high chemical stability and high temperature resistance, after the clamping mechanism 3 clamps the electrolytic structure, it can ensure the sealing between the electrolytic structure and the clamping mechanism 3, and extend the service life of the electrolytic structure. Moreover, when one of the end sealing rings 16 is attached to the side of the first drain ring 13 facing away from the second drain ring 14, the end sealing ring 16 can also cover the hydrogen outlet groove 131 of the first drain ring 13 and seal the hydrogen outlet groove 131. When the other end sealing ring 16 is attached to the side of the second drain ring 14 facing away from the first drain ring 13, the end sealing ring 16 can also cover the water inlet groove 141 and the water return groove 142 of the second drain ring 14 and seal the water inlet groove 141 and the water return groove 142.
[0069] In this embodiment, the first drainage ring 13 is provided with a first sealing groove 132 along the circumferential direction on both sides in the axial direction, and the second drainage ring 14 is provided with a second sealing groove 143 along the circumferential direction on both sides. After the clamping mechanism 3 clamps the electrolysis structure, the corresponding parts of the intermediate sealing ring 15 on both sides in the axial direction are pressed into the first sealing groove 132 and the second sealing groove 143, and a part of one of the end sealing rings 16 is pressed into the first sealing groove 132 of the first drainage ring 13, and a part of the other end sealing ring 16 is pressed into the second sealing groove 143 of the second drainage ring 14.
[0070] That is, by correspondingly opening the first sealing groove 132 and the second sealing groove 143 on the first drainage ring 13 and the second drainage ring 14, when the clamping mechanism 3 clamps the electrolysis structure, the corresponding parts on both sides of the intermediate sealing ring 15 will be pressed into the first sealing groove 132 of the first drainage ring 13 and the second sealing groove 143 of the second drainage ring 14, which is conducive to strengthening the sealing between the first drainage ring 13 and the second drainage ring 14. At the same time, part of one of the end sealing rings 16 is pressed into the first sealing groove 132 of the first drainage ring 13, and part of the other end sealing ring 16 is pressed into the second sealing groove 143 of the second drainage ring 14, which can strengthen the sealing between the first drainage ring 13 and one of the end sealing rings 16, so that hydrogen will not leak, and also strengthen the sealing between the second drainage ring 14 and the other end sealing ring 16, so that water will not leak.
[0071] In this embodiment, a hydrogen outlet 101 is axially defined in the first guide ring 13 , and a hydrogen outlet groove 131 is defined on the side of the first guide ring 13 facing away from the second guide ring 14 . One end of the hydrogen outlet groove 131 is connected to the hydrogen outlet 101 , and the other end of the hydrogen outlet groove 131 passes through the inner ring of the first guide ring 13 . The hydrogen outlet 101 and the hydrogen outlet groove 131 form the hydrogen outlet channel 100 .
[0072] The second drainage ring 14 is provided with a water inlet 201 and a return water port 301 along the axial direction, and the second drainage ring 14 is provided with a water inlet groove 141 and a return water groove 142 on the side facing away from the first drainage ring 13. One end of the water inlet groove 141 is connected to the water inlet 201, and the other end of the water inlet groove 141 passes through the inner circle of the second drainage ring 14, one end of the return water groove 142 is connected to the return water port 301, and the other end of the return water groove 142 passes through the inner circle of the second drainage ring 14, the water inlet 201 and the water inlet groove 141 form the water inlet channel 200, and the return water port 301 and the return water groove 142 form the return water channel 300.
[0073] Specifically, the first drainage ring 13, the second drainage ring 14, the middle sealing ring 15 and the end sealing ring 16 are all provided with the water inlet 201, the water return port 301 and the hydrogen outlet 101, and the multiple water inlets 201 are connected together, the multiple water return ports 301 are connected together, and the multiple hydrogen outlets 101 are connected together. By providing the water inlet 201, the water return port 301 and the hydrogen outlet 101 on the first drainage ring 13, the second drainage ring 14, the middle sealing ring 15 and the end sealing ring 16, it is convenient to set up multiple electrolysis structures in the later stage, and let the multiple electrolysis structures be stacked together in the axial direction. After water is injected into the outermost water inlet 201, the water can flow along the multiple water inlets 201 into the multiple electrolysis structures, and because the middle sealing ring 15 and the end sealing ring According to the arrangement of 16, water can only enter the inner circle of the second drainage ring 14 through the water inlet groove 141, and after electrolysis, the water enters the multiple return water ports 301 through the return water groove 142. Then, after the hydrogen ions at the titanium junction 12 serving as the cathode react to generate hydrogen, the hydrogen can enter the hydrogen outlet 101 along the hydrogen outlet groove 131, which facilitates the simultaneous water supply, water recovery and hydrogen collection of the multiple electrolysis structures, and can facilitate users to stack the electrolysis structures as needed, with high practicality.
[0074] Moreover, the water inlet, water return and hydrogen collection of the electrolysis structure are all carried out on the axial side of the electrolysis structure, so it will not affect the sealing of the outer sealing component 2, nor will it affect the sealing of the middle sealing ring 15 and the end sealing ring 16, ensuring the sealing of the electrolysis structure when in use.
[0075] In this embodiment, the electrolysis unit 1 also includes a titanium filter 17, which is located in the inner circle of the second drainage ring 14, and the outer circle of the titanium filter 17 is close to the inner circle of the second drainage ring 14, and the end of the water inlet trough 141 away from the water inlet 201 is opposite to the outer circle of the titanium filter 17, and the titanium filter 17 is attached to the side of the titanium sheet 12 on the side of the membrane electrode 11 close to the second drainage ring 14.
[0076] By allowing the titanium filter 17 to be attached to the side of the titanium sheet 12 on the side of the membrane electrode 11 close to the second drainage ring 14, that is, the titanium filter 17 can be attached to the side of the titanium sheet 12 serving as the anode, on the one hand, the titanium filter 17 can play a filtering role, preventing foreign matter from entering the titanium sheet 12 and the membrane electrode 11 and affecting the electrolysis of water; on the other hand, the titanium filter 17 is a mesh structure, so under the capillary action of the titanium filter 17, water enters the titanium filter After 17, it can guide water to quickly and evenly penetrate the surface of the titanium filter 17, so that water can flow more quickly and evenly to the surface of the titanium sheet 12 serving as the anode, which is beneficial to accelerating the electrolysis efficiency and improving the hydrogen production efficiency. Moreover, since the titanium sheet 12 will quickly generate heat after being energized, the provision of the titanium filter 17 can help water quickly cover the entire surface of the titanium sheet 12, and can prevent the parts of the titanium sheet 12 that are not wetted by water from overheating and eventually ablating the membrane electrode 11 or other components. At the same time, because the titanium filter 17 has high mechanical strength and toughness, it can withstand greater pressure and mechanical impact without being easily deformed or damaged. Compared with other metal filters, the titanium filter 17 can maintain long-term stability under high pressure or harsh working environments, which is beneficial to improving the service life of the electrolysis structure.
[0077] In this embodiment, a plurality of water inlet grooves 141 are provided on the side of the second drainage ring 14 facing away from the first drainage ring 13 , one end of the plurality of water inlet grooves 141 is connected to the water inlet 201 of the second drainage ring 14 , and the other end of the plurality of water inlet grooves 141 extends radially to the inner circle of the second drainage ring 14 .
[0078] There are multiple water inlet grooves 141, one end of each of the water inlet grooves 141 is connected to the water inlet 201 of the second drainage ring 14, and the other end of each of the water inlet grooves 141 extends radially to the inner circle of the second drainage ring 14. Therefore, on the one hand, water can be quickly injected into the titanium junction sheet 12 serving as the anode through the multiple water inlet grooves 141, which is beneficial to speed up the water injection efficiency and improve the electrolysis efficiency; on the other hand, the multiple water inlet grooves 141 extend radially to the inner circle of the second drainage ring 14, so that water can more quickly and evenly soak the titanium junction sheet 12 serving as the anode. Moreover, since the interior of the electrolysis structure is a high-pressure environment, the multiple water inlet grooves 141 are extended radially, so that the openings of the multiple water inlet grooves 141 located in the inner circle of the second drainage ring 14 can maintain a sufficient distance from each other, and the structural strength of the second drainage ring 14 is not easily affected by the setting of the multiple water inlet grooves 141, so that the second drainage ring 14 can still maintain sufficient structural strength under high-pressure environment, thereby ensuring the stability of the electrolysis structure.
[0079] Preferably, the axial thickness of the second guide ring 14 is T1 mm, and the axial depth of the water inlet groove 141 in the second guide ring 14 is D1 mm, wherein 0.2≤D1 / T1≤0.7. The value of D1 / T1 can be 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6 or 0.7.
[0080] When D1 / T1 is too large, the axial thickness of the second drainage ring 14 is small, or the axial depth of the water inlet groove 141 in the second drainage ring 14 is large, which will cause the structural strength of the second drainage ring 14 to become weak; when D1 / T1 is too small, the thickness of the second drainage ring 14 is large, which will cause the volume of the electrolysis structure to be too large, or the axial depth of the water inlet groove 141 in the second drainage ring 14 is small, which will affect the efficiency of water injection into the titanium sheet 12 and affect the hydrogen production efficiency. Therefore, maintaining 0.2≤D1 / T1≤0.7 can ensure the hydrogen production efficiency of the electrolysis structure and ensure that the electrolysis structure has sufficient strength.
[0081] Furthermore, the surface area of the inner circumference of the inner ring of the second guide ring 14 is S1mm 2 The total opening area of the plurality of water inlet grooves 141 in the inner ring of the second drainage ring 14 is S2mm 2 , where 0.005≤S2 / S1≤0.03. The value of S2 / S1 can be 0.008, 0.01, 0.015, 0.02, 0.025 or 0.028.
[0082] Since the second drainage ring 14 is weaker at the position where the water inlet groove 141 is opened, the more position of the second drainage ring 14 occupied by the water inlet groove 141, the weaker the structural strength of the second drainage ring 14 will be. When S2 / S1 is large, the more position of the second drainage ring 14 occupied by the water inlet groove 141 will be affected, which will affect the structural strength of the second drainage ring 14. When S2 / S1 is small, the water inlet groove 141 occupies less position of the second drainage ring 14. Although the structural strength of the second drainage ring 14 can be ensured, the efficiency of water injection into the titanium sheet 12 will be affected. Therefore, maintaining 0.005≤S2 / S1≤0.03 can ensure the structural strength of the second drainage ring 14, and also ensure the water injection efficiency and hydrogen production efficiency.
[0083] In this embodiment, a plurality of return water grooves 142 are provided on the side of the second drainage ring 14 facing away from the first drainage ring 13 , one end of the plurality of return water grooves 142 is connected to the return water port 301 of the second drainage ring 14 , and the other end of the plurality of return water grooves 142 extends radially to the inner circle of the second drainage ring 14 .
[0084] There are multiple return water grooves 142, one end of each of the return water grooves 142 is connected to the return water port 301 of the second drainage ring 14, and the other end of each of the return water grooves 142 extends radially to the inner circle of the second drainage ring 14. Therefore, on the one hand, water can quickly flow from the titanium sheet 12 serving as the anode to the return water port 301 through the multiple return water grooves 142, which is beneficial to speeding up the water recovery efficiency and will not affect the electrolysis efficiency; on the other hand, since the interior of the electrolysis structure is a high-pressure environment, extending the multiple return water grooves 142 radially can allow the openings of the multiple return water grooves 142 located in the inner circle of the second drainage ring 14 to maintain a sufficient distance from each other, and it is not easy for the setting of the multiple return water grooves 142 to affect the structural strength of the second drainage ring 14, so that the second drainage ring 14 can still maintain sufficient structural strength under high-pressure environment, thereby ensuring the stability of the electrolysis structure.
[0085] Preferably, the axial thickness of the second drainage ring 14 is T1 mm, and the axial depth of the water return groove 142 in the second drainage ring 14 is D2 mm, wherein 0.2≤D2 / T1≤0.7. The value of D2 / T1 can be 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6 or 0.7.
[0086] When D2 / T1 is too large, the axial thickness of the second drainage ring 14 is small, or the axial depth of the return water groove 142 in the second drainage ring 14 is large, which will cause the structural strength of the second drainage ring 14 to become weak; when D2 / T1 is too small, the thickness of the second drainage ring 14 is large, which will cause the volume of the electrolysis structure to be too large, or the axial depth of the return water groove 142 in the second drainage ring 14 is small, which will affect the efficiency of water exiting the titanium sheet 12 and the electrolysis efficiency. Therefore, maintaining 0.2≤D2 / T1≤0.7 can ensure the hydrogen production efficiency of the electrolysis structure and ensure that the electrolysis structure has sufficient structural strength.
[0087] Furthermore, the surface area of the inner circumference of the inner ring of the second guide ring 14 is S1mm 2 The total opening area of the plurality of return water grooves 142 in the inner ring of the second drainage ring 14 is S3mm 2 , where 0.005≤S3 / S1≤0.03. The value of S3 / S1 can be 0.005, 0.008, 0.01, 0.015, 0.02, 0.025, 0.028 or 0.03.
[0088] Since the second drainage ring 14 is weaker at the position where the return water groove 142 is opened, the more position of the second drainage ring 14 is occupied by the return water groove 142, the weaker the structural strength of the second drainage ring 14 will be. When S3 / S1 is large, the more position of the second drainage ring 14 is occupied by the return water groove 142, which will affect the structural strength of the second drainage ring 14. When S3 / S1 is small, the return water groove 142 occupies less position of the second drainage ring 14. Although it can ensure the structural strength of the second drainage ring 14, it will affect the efficiency of water exiting the titanium sheet 12. Therefore, maintaining 0.005≤S3 / S1≤0.03 can ensure the structural strength of the second drainage ring 14 and the hydrogen production efficiency.
[0089] In this embodiment, a plurality of hydrogen outlet grooves 131 are provided on a side of the first guide ring 13 facing away from the second guide ring 14 , one end of the plurality of hydrogen outlet grooves 131 is connected to the hydrogen outlet 101 of the first guide ring 13 , and the other end of the plurality of hydrogen outlet grooves 131 extends radially to the inner circle of the first guide ring 13 .
[0090] There are multiple hydrogen outlet grooves 131, one end of each of the multiple hydrogen outlet grooves 131 is connected to the hydrogen outlet 101 of the first drainage ring 13, and the other ends of the multiple hydrogen outlet grooves 131 extend radially to the inner ring of the first drainage ring 13. Therefore, on the one hand, the hydrogen produced by the reaction at the titanium sheet 12 serving as the cathode can quickly enter the hydrogen outlet 101 through the multiple hydrogen outlet grooves 131; on the other hand, the multiple hydrogen outlet grooves 131 extend radially to the inner ring of the first drainage ring 13, so that hydrogen can be collected more quickly. Moreover, since the interior of the electrolysis structure is a high-pressure environment, the multiple hydrogen outlet grooves 131 are extended radially, so that the openings of the multiple hydrogen outlet grooves 131 located in the inner ring of the first drainage ring 13 can maintain a sufficient distance from each other, and the structural strength of the first drainage ring 13 is not easily affected by the setting of the multiple hydrogen outlet grooves 131. The first drainage ring 13 still maintains sufficient structural strength under a high-pressure environment, thereby ensuring the stability of the electrolysis structure.
[0091] Preferably, the thickness of the first guide ring 13 in the axial direction is T2 mm, and the depth of the hydrogen outlet groove 131 in the axial direction of the first guide ring 13 is D3 mm, wherein 0.2≤D3 / T2≤0.7. The value of D3 / T2 can be 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6 or 0.7.
[0092] When D3 / T2 is too large, the axial thickness of the first drainage ring 13 is small, or the axial depth of the hydrogen outlet groove 131 in the first drainage ring 13 is large, which will cause the structural strength of the first drainage ring 13 to become weak; when D3 / T2 is too small, the thickness of the first drainage ring 13 is large, which will cause the volume of the electrolysis structure to be too large, or the axial depth of the hydrogen outlet groove 131 in the first drainage ring 13 is small, which will affect the hydrogen recovery efficiency. Therefore, maintaining 0.2≤D3 / T2≤0.7 can ensure the efficiency of the electrolysis structure in collecting hydrogen and ensure that the electrolysis structure has sufficient structural strength.
[0093] Furthermore, the surface area of the inner ring of the first guide ring 13 is S4mm 2 The total opening area of the plurality of hydrogen outlet grooves 131 in the inner ring of the first guide ring 13 is S5mm 2 , where 0.005≤S5 / S4≤0.05. The value of S5 / S4 can be 0.005, 0.008, 0.01, 0.015, 0.02, 0.025, 0.03, 0.035, 0.04, 0.045 or 0.05.
[0094] Since the first drainage ring 13 is weaker at the position where the hydrogen outlet groove 131 is opened, the more position of the first drainage ring 13 occupied by the hydrogen outlet groove 131, the weaker the structural strength of the first drainage ring 13 will be. When S5 / S4 is large, the more position of the first drainage ring 13 occupied by the hydrogen outlet groove 131 will be affected, which will affect the structural strength of the first drainage ring 13. When S5 / S4 is small, the hydrogen outlet groove 131 occupies less position of the first drainage ring 13. Although the structural strength of the first drainage ring 13 can be ensured, the efficiency of hydrogen entering the hydrogen outlet 101 will be affected. Therefore, maintaining 0.005≤S5 / S4≤0.05 can ensure the structural strength of the first drainage ring 13 and also ensure the hydrogen collection efficiency.
[0095] In addition, in the present invention, the axial thickness T1 of the second drainage ring 14 is greater than the axial thickness T2 of the first drainage ring 13. Since water will pass through the water inlet 201 to the water inlet groove 141 of the second drainage ring 14 and enter the titanium filter 17 at the second drainage ring 14, that is, the second drainage ring 14 will also be impacted by water. Moreover, the second drainage ring 14 is provided with the water inlet groove 141 and the return water groove 142, which has a certain impact on the structural strength of the second drainage ring 14. However, the first drainage ring 13 is only provided with the hydrogen outlet groove 131, so the structural strength of the first drainage ring 13 is less affected. Therefore, considering that the axial size of the electrolysis structure will not be too large, the axial thickness T1 of the second drainage ring 14 is made greater than the axial thickness T2 of the first drainage ring 13, thereby ensuring the overall stability of the electrolysis structure and preventing the electrolysis structure from being too large in the axial direction.
[0096] In this embodiment, the water inlet 201 and the water return port 301 of the second drainage ring 14 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the second drainage ring 14 , and the end of the water inlet groove 141 away from the water inlet 201 and the end of the water return groove 142 away from the water return port 301 are oppositely arranged.
[0097] Since the water in the water inlet 201 enters the inner ring of the second drainage ring 14 through the water inlet groove 141 of the second drainage ring 14, and after passing through the titanium sheet 12, the water can enter the return water port 301 through the return water groove 142 of the second drainage ring 14, the water inlet 201 and the return water port 301 of the second drainage ring 14 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the second drainage ring 14, so as to facilitate better and more uniform wetting of the entire surface of the titanium sheet 12 by the water, thereby improving the efficiency of electrolysis and preventing the titanium sheet 12 from ablating the membrane electrode 11 or other components. Moreover, the end of the water inlet groove 141 away from the water inlet 201 and the end of the return water groove 142 away from the return water port 301 are arranged relative to each other, which facilitates smoother entry and exit of water and ensures the amount of electrolyte.
[0098] In this embodiment, the first drainage ring 13 and the second drainage ring 14 are both made of PPSU.
[0099] PPSU (polyphenylsulfone) is a high-performance engineering plastic with the advantages of high temperature resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, and good mechanical properties. It can have a long service life in electrolytic hydrogen production technology, thereby improving the service life of the electrolytic structure.
[0100] The present invention also relates to a hydrogen production device, comprising the electrolysis structure and the clamping mechanism 3, the clamping mechanism 3 comprising a positive electrode pressure plate 31, a negative electrode pressure plate 32, a positive plate 33, a negative plate 34 and an adjustment component 35, the positive electrode pressure plate 31 and the negative electrode pressure plate 32 are opposite to each other, the positive plate 33 and the negative plate 34 are correspondingly arranged on both sides of the positive electrode pressure plate 31 and the negative electrode pressure plate 32 are opposite to each other, the electrolysis structure is clamped between the positive plate 33 and the negative plate 34, and the positive plate 33 is attached to the titanium junction sheet 12 serving as the anode, and the negative plate 34 is attached to the titanium junction sheet 12 serving as the cathode. The positive plate 33 and the negative plate 34 are used to be electrically connected to an external power supply. The adjustment component 35 is connected between the positive pressure plate 31 and the negative pressure plate 32 to adjust the distance between the positive pressure plate 31 and the negative pressure plate 32, so that the positive pressure plate 31 and the negative pressure plate 32 can clamp the electrolysis structure between the positive plate 33 and the negative plate 34.
[0101] The adjustment assembly 35 can be a combination of a bolt 351 and a nut 352, wherein the bolt 351 passes through the negative electrode pressure plate 32 and the positive electrode pressure plate 31 in sequence, and the nut 352 is threadedly connected to the bolt 351, and the nut 352 is pressed against the side of the positive electrode pressure plate 31 facing away from the negative electrode pressure plate 32, so that the positive electrode pressure plate 31 and the negative electrode pressure plate 32 can clamp the electrolytic structure when the nut 352 is tightened.
[0102] Furthermore, the positive electrode pressure plate 31 and the positive electrode plate 33 are provided with a water inlet interface, a water return interface and a hydrogen outlet interface at positions corresponding to the water inlet 201, the water return port 301 and the hydrogen outlet 101 of the electrolysis unit 1, so as to facilitate the introduction of water into the electrolysis structure and the collection of hydrogen.
[0103] The hydrogen production device of the present invention adopts the electrolysis structure, and the electrolysis structure is provided with an outer sealing component 2 on the outside of the electrolysis unit 1, so that the elastic sealing ring 22 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the electrolysis unit 1, and then the support ring 21 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the elastic sealing ring 22, and the axial thickness of the elastic sealing ring 22 is greater than the axial thickness of the support ring 21 and the axial thickness of the electrolysis unit 1, so that when the positive electrode pressure plate 31 and the negative electrode pressure plate 32 of the clamping mechanism 3 jointly clamp the electrolysis structure, the elastic sealing ring 22 is squeezed and deformed, and under the action of the support ring 21 tightening the elastic sealing ring 22, the elastic sealing ring 22 can be pressed against the positive electrode plate 33 and the negative electrode plate 34 of the clamping mechanism 3, and the elastic sealing ring 22 can also tighten the electrolysis unit 1, so that the electrolysis structure forms a tight structure, ensuring that the electrolysis structure has sufficient sealing, making it difficult for high-pressure hydrogen to leak, and making the electrolysis structure more stable.
[0104] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention. These improvements and substitutions should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
