[0020] The application will be further described below in combination with the accompanying drawings and examples.

[0021] Example 1 In a typical embodiment of the application, a hydrogen power four-legged robot of the hydrolysis hydrogen production type is provided, which comprises a torso 9 and a four-legged walking part 10, as shown in the figure. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The inside of the torso 9 is provided with a hydrolysis hydrogen production module and a hybrid power generation module connected through a pipeline; the hydrolysis hydrogen production module comprises a water tank 18, a feeding machine 15 and a reaction container 6, the water tank 18 and the feeding machine 15 are both connected with the reaction container 6, the water tank 18 delivers water into the reaction container 6, the feeding machine 15 delivers metal powder into the reaction container 6, and the water and the metal powder have a hydrolysis reaction to produce hydrogen; the hybrid power generation module comprises a hydrogen fuel cell 2 and an electric energy storage device 1 connected through electricity, the hydrogen fuel cell 2 is used to generate electricity by using hydrogen, and the electric energy storage device 1 stores electric energy and provides the electric energy to the four-legged robot.

[0022] It can be understood that the above-mentioned hydrogen power quadruped robot of hydrolysis hydrogen production utilizes the hydrolysis reaction of metal powder and water in the reaction container 6 to produce hydrogen, and the hydrogen is provided to the hydrogen fuel cell 2 to generate electricity, and the generated electricity is directly supplied to the quadruped robot walking part 10 and stored through the electric energy storage device 1 and supplemented to the quadruped robot. By completely embedding the hydrolysis hydrogen production module and the hybrid power generation module in the quadruped robot torso 9, the space contradiction of the traditional externally hung hydrogen storage bottle is solved. The metal powder hydrolysis hydrogen production realizes on-demand use. The hybrid power generation module cooperates with the hydrogen fuel cell 2 and the electric energy storage device 1 to solve the defect of slow dynamic response of the fuel cell, and the hydrogen fuel cell 2 provides steady-state power, and the electric energy storage device 1 responds to high-energy consumption actions instantaneously. In addition, after getting rid of the dependence on hydrogen refueling stations, the robot can work continuously in areas without infrastructure such as the wild and disaster areas, and the endurance is improved.

[0023] In the embodiment, the lower part of the water tank 18 is respectively provided with an air inlet and a water inlet, the upper part of the water tank 18 is provided with a hydrogen outlet, and the inside of the water tank 18 is provided with a liquid level sensor; the air inlet is connected with the hydrogen outlet of the reaction container 6, the water inlet is connected with the outlet of the second three-way joint 19, and the hydrogen outlet of the water tank 18 is connected with the anode inlet of the hydrogen fuel cell 2 through a pressure reducing valve 20.

[0024] It can be understood that the metal powder in the reaction container 6 reacts with water to produce hydrogen, which is discharged from the hydrogen outlet of the reaction container 6 and enters the air inlet at the lower part of the water tank 18, and is filtered and cooled by the water in the water tank to improve the purity of the hydrogen. The filtered and cooled hydrogen is discharged from the hydrogen outlet of the water tank 18, adjusted in pressure by the pressure reducing valve 20, and then enters the anode inlet of the hydrogen fuel cell 2 through the air inlet electromagnetic valve 11. The hydrogen fuel cell 2 can convert the chemical energy of hydrogen and oxygen into electric energy through an electrochemical reaction, and the unused hydrogen of the hydrogen fuel cell 2 is discharged through the hydrogen discharge port 8.

[0025] In the embodiment, the inside bottom and the inside upper part of the water tank 18 are respectively provided with a liquid level sensor for detecting the water level in the water tank 18, so that water can be supplied to the water tank 18 in time according to the water level in the water tank 18.

[0026] Further, the top of the torso 9 is provided with a water injection joint 4, the water injection joint 4 is connected with the water inlet end of a water pump 21 through a second three-way joint 19, the water outlet end of the water pump 21 is connected with the water inlet of the water tank 18, the second three-way joint 19 is connected with the water pump 21, the water injection joint 4 and the reaction container 6 respectively, and the water injection joint is a self-closing joint. Therefore, the water tank 18 and the reaction container 6 are respectively injected with water by the forward and reverse rotation of the water pump 21.

[0027] Further, a one-way valve 22 is arranged on the pipeline connected with the water pump 21 and the reaction container 6 to prevent backflow due to pressure difference during the reaction.

[0028] It can be understood that when the water pump 21 rotates forward, water is injected into the tank 18 through the water injection joint 4, and due to the arrangement of the one-way valve 22, water in the pressure container 6 will not be injected into the tank 18; when it is necessary to inject water into the reaction container, the water injection joint 4 is disconnected, at this time, the water injection joint 4 is in a closed state, and the water pump 21 is reversed to inject water in the tank 18 into the reaction container 6.

[0029] In the embodiment, the upper part of the reaction container 6 is provided with a charging port and a hydrogen outlet, and the bottom of the reaction container 6 is provided with a slag discharge port 7, the charging port 8 is connected with the charging machine 15 through the feeding electromagnetic valve 1508, and the hydrogen outlet is connected with the water inlet of the water tank 18. A filter screen is also arranged at the hydrogen outlet of the reaction container 6 to filter the hydrogen and remove impurities.

[0030] It can be understood that the charging machine 15 provides metal powder into the reaction container 6 through the feeding electromagnetic valve 1508, the metal powder undergoes hydrolysis reaction in the reaction container 6 to generate hydrogen and slag, the hydrogen is discharged through the hydrogen outlet and provided to the hydrogen fuel cell after pressure regulation by the pressure reducing valve 20, and the slag is discharged through the slag discharge port 7. The metal powder is a reactive metal, such as sodium borohydride or aluminum powder. Since the reaction container 6 is a pressure container, a safety valve 17, a temperature sensor 16 and a pressure sensor 13 are arranged on the reaction container 6, the safety valve 17 plays a pressure relief protection role, and the temperature sensor 16 and the pressure sensor 13 monitor the temperature and pressure in the reaction container 6.

[0031] As shown in Figure 3 The charging machine 15 includes a first cavity 1510 and a second cavity 1501 separated by a baffle, the first cavity 1510 is arranged with a plurality of material-containing capsules 1509, the bottom of the second cavity is provided with a discharge port, and the discharge port is connected with the feeding electromagnetic valve 1508. Further, the bottom of the first cavity 1510 is provided with a spring 1507, the top of the spring 1507 is mounted with a bottom plate 1506, and the bottom plate 1506 presses the metal powder wrapped by the water-soluble capsules under the action of the spring 1507.

[0032] It can be understood that the push rod is controlled by the control system, when charging, the push rod 1504 pushes the uppermost layer of the capsules 1509 containing the hydrolysis powder to open the baffle 1503 between the first cavity and the second cavity and enter the second cavity 1501, and then the feeding electromagnetic valve 1508 is opened, and the capsules 1509 fall into the reaction container 6.

[0033] In addition, by wrapping the metal powder with water-soluble capsules, the capsule shell can isolate water vapor to prevent the metal powder from being hardened; each capsule contains a fixed dose of powder, which avoids the violent reaction caused by excessive manual feeding and realizes precise control of the hydrolysis reaction.

[0034] In this embodiment, the hydrogen fuel cell stack 2 is provided with a stack pressure sensor 23 and an intake solenoid valve 11 at the anode inlet, a tail exhaust solenoid valve 12 at the anode outlet, and a cooling fan on one side of the cathode outlet. The stack pressure sensor 23 monitors the hydrogen inlet pressure to adjust the hydrogen flow rate, the pressure reducing valve 20 adjusts the hydrogen intake volume, and excess hydrogen at the anode is discharged through the tail exhaust solenoid valve 12. The cooling fan provides forced air cooling to the high-temperature area of ​​the stack (cathode outlet), ensuring the normal operation of the hydrogen fuel cell stack 2.

[0035] In this embodiment, a system controller 3 is further included, and the system controller 3 is connected to the hydrolysis hydrogen production module, the hydrogen fuel cell stack 2 and the electric energy cache device 1 respectively.

[0036] In this embodiment, the electric energy cache device 1 includes but is not limited to a lithium battery or a supercapacitor, which is used to cache excess electric energy output by the hydrogen fuel cell stack 2 and provide energy supplement when the quadruped robot performs high-energy consumption actions.

[0037] like Figure 4 As shown, the working principle of the hydrogen-generating quadruped robot provided by this embodiment is as follows: The metal powder wrapped in the water-soluble capsule is stored in the feeder 15. The push rod pushes the metal powder capsule to the top of the feed solenoid valve, the feed solenoid valve opens, and the capsule falls into the reaction container 6; at the same time, water is injected into the reaction container 6 through the water pump 21. The capsule shell dissolves when it comes into contact with water, and the metal powder reacts with water to generate hydrogen, and the pressure in the reaction container 6 rises.

[0038] The hydrogen in the reaction vessel 6 is removed from impurities by the top filter and enters the water tank 18 for further filtration and cooling. After the pressure is stabilized by the pressure reducing valve 20, the air intake solenoid valve 11 is opened, and the hydrogen enters the anode of the hydrogen fuel cell stack 2. The hydrogen fuel cell stack 2 converts the chemical energy of the hydrogen into direct current. The generated electric energy is provided to the walking part 10 of the quadruped robot through DCDC conversion, and the excess electric energy is stored through the electric energy cache device 1 and provided to the quadruped robot for supplementation depending on the load.

[0039] During the operation of the hydrogen-powered quadruped robot that produces hydrogen by hydrolysis, the system controller 3 uses the reaction vessel pressure sensor 13 as a feedback signal and adjusts the water injection interval through the PID algorithm. When the pressure continues to drop after multiple consecutive water injections, it is determined that the metal powder is exhausted and the hydrogen production is completed. The slag discharge solenoid valve is opened to discharge the slag; after the slag is discharged, the feeder 15 adds metal powder and the hydrogen production process is restarted in a cycle.

[0040] Example 2 In a typical implementation of this embodiment, a method for operating a hydrogen-powered quadruped robot that produces hydrogen by hydrolysis is provided, comprising: After starting, water injection and metal powder addition are carried out in the reaction container, and the water injection interval is adjusted by PID algorithm taking the reaction container pressure as the feedback signal; the specific process is as follows: the control system adopts a pressure-triggered emptying mechanism, and after starting, the water pump is intermittently and quantitatively injected to make the powder contact with water to generate hydrogen, and the initial pressure of the reaction container is established; when the pressure value exceeds 100 kPa, the hydrogen fuel stack inlet electromagnetic valve is opened, the hydrogen fuel stack anode inlet and cooling fan are opened, and the hydrogen fuel stack starts to start and run. The pressure stable closed loop system constructed by the PID control algorithm realizes the accurate control of the reaction water by dynamically adjusting the start-stop frequency of the water injection pump (the single injection amount is constant), realizes the stable control of the reaction container pressure (200 kPa-300 kPa), and when the system detects that the water injection is sufficient but the pressure drops by 60 kPa threshold, it is determined that the powder is basically completely consumed.

[0041] After the pressure of the reaction container is stabilized, the hydrogen inlet electromagnetic valve is opened to supply hydrogen to the hydrogen fuel stack, the hydrogen fuel stack supplies power to the walking part of the quadruped robot, and according to the working condition, the electric energy storage device is charged, the electric energy storage device supplements power supply according to the load condition, and the quadruped robot starts to work. After multiple water injections, if the pressure of the pressure container continues to drop, it is determined that the hydrogen production is completed, and the deslagging electromagnetic valve is opened to discharge slag. After the slag is discharged, the powder feeding machine adds metal powder, and the hydrogen production process is restarted.

[0042] The specific steps are as shown in Figure 5 S10: press the "start" button, the controller starts the water injection pump to inject water into the reaction container, and the reaction container pressure is taken as the feedback signal to adjust the water injection interval by executing the PID control algorithm in the controller.

[0043] S11: after the pressure of the reaction container is stabilized, the hydrogen inlet electromagnetic valve is opened, the hydrogen gas enters the fuel cell stack through the pressure reducing valve, the fuel cell starts to output electric energy, and the lithium battery is used as a buffer. The sensing part and the walking part of the quadruped robot start to work.

[0044] S12: after the water injection pump is continuously injected for multiple times, the pressure of the reaction container is in a downward trend, it is determined that the hydrolysis hydrogen production is completed, the water injection pump is turned off, and the deslagging electromagnetic valve is opened to discharge the reaction products and residual pressure.

[0045] S13: after the reaction products are emptied, the deslagging electromagnetic valve is closed, the powder feeding machine motor works, and the hydrolysis hydrogen production material is sent to the powder feeding electromagnetic valve connection port. The powder feeding electromagnetic valve is opened, the hydrolysis hydrogen production material falls into the reaction container, the powder feeding electromagnetic valve is closed, and the steps S10-S12 are repeated.

[0046] ​The working method provided by the application dynamically adjusts the water injection frequency with the reaction container pressure as a feedback signal, so that the hydrogen production rate is matched with the energy consumption of the robot in real time; the continuous pressure drop of the reaction container is taken as the end criterion of hydrogen production, so as to avoid misjudgment caused by residual powder or insufficient water; the infinite endurance cycle is realized through the closed loop process of slagging, charging and restarting, automatic cyclic hydrogen production is realized, and the endurance is improved.

[0047] Although the specific embodiments of the application are described above with reference to the drawings, the description is not a limitation on the scope of protection of the application, and those skilled in the art should understand that various modifications or changes made by those skilled in the art on the basis of the technical solutions of the application without creative labor are still within the protection scope of the application.
