[0012] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0013] Those skilled in the art can connect the components in this case sequentially. The specific connection and operation sequence should refer to the working principle described below. The detailed connection methods are well-known technologies in the field. The working principle and process are mainly described below.

[0014] High-pressure hydrogen storage is one of the key technologies for hydrogen energy storage and transportation. Its safety lies in preventing the leakage of high-pressure hydrogen. Traditional single-seal structures are at risk of failure under extreme working conditions or material aging, which makes them inconvenient to use and poses a high safety hazard. In view of this, the present invention provides a high-pressure hydrogen storage cylinder sealing structure that can achieve multiple seals. Through the cooperation of the cylinder body, the cylinder mouth, the first sealing ring, the second sealing ring, the threaded sleeve, the limiting sleeve and the deformable ring plate, multiple seals can be achieved at the point where leakage is likely to occur at the cylinder mouth, so as to ensure overall safety in use. In addition, the second sealing ring can be shielded from external light and other influences, so as to extend its service life and reduce the aging rate.

[0015] Example 1: By Figure 1 , 2 As can be seen from 3 and 4, a high-pressure hydrogen storage cylinder sealing structure that can achieve multiple seals includes a cylinder body 1, a cylinder mouth 2 welded to the upper part of the inner wall of the cylinder body 1, a first sealing ring 3 that abuts against the outer wall of the cylinder mouth 2 at the top of the inner wall of the cylinder body 1, a second sealing ring 4 that abuts against the outer wall of the cylinder mouth 2 at the top of the cylinder body 1, a threaded sleeve 5 that abuts against the top of the second sealing ring 4, and the inner wall of the threaded sleeve 5 is threadedly connected to the lower part of the outer wall of the cylinder mouth 2. In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that the materials of the first sealing ring 3, the second sealing ring 4, the third sealing ring 12 and the sealing gasket 14 are not limited, as long as they meet the usage requirements. The threaded sleeve 5 can firmly press the second sealing ring 4 against the connection between the bottle mouth 2 and the bottle body 1. Furthermore, the outer wall of the threaded sleeve 5 is clamped to the limiting sleeve 6, and the upper and lower parts of the limiting sleeve 6 are respectively attached to the outer walls of the bottle mouth 2 and the bottle body 1. Deformable limiting ring plates 7 are clamped to the lower sides of the outer wall of the limiting sleeve 6, and the bottom of the two deformable limiting ring plates 7 are fixed to the top of the bottle body 1. In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that the limiting sleeve 6 can restrict the position of the threaded sleeve 5, thereby preventing the threaded sleeve 5 from reversing and reducing the sealing performance of the second sealing ring 4. The deformable limiting ring plate 7 can limit the position of the limiting sleeve 6. The material of the deformable limiting ring plate 7 is not limited. It can be made of hard plastic or other materials. The specific material is not limited as long as it meets the usage requirements. Furthermore, a rotating cylinder 8 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the bottle mouth 2 via a bearing. A bracket 9 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rotating cylinder 8. A first perforated plate 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the bracket 9, and the outer wall of the first perforated plate 11 is in contact with the inner wall of the bottle mouth 2. A second perforated plate 10, which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bottle mouth 2, is in contact with the bottom of the first perforated plate 11. Sealing gaskets 14 are fixedly connected to the sides of the first perforated plate 11 and the second perforated plate 10 that are close to each other, and the outer walls of the two sealing gaskets 14 are both interference fit with the inner wall of the bottle mouth 2. In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that when rotating the rotating drum 8, the position of the first perforated plate 11 can be changed by the bracket 9. When the openings of the first perforated plate 11 and the second perforated plate 10 are misaligned, the inside of the bottle mouth 2 can be sealed. Furthermore, a third sealing ring 12 is fixedly connected above and below the connection between the rotating cylinder 8 and the bottle mouth 2. A protective barrier 13 is welded to the upper part of the outer wall of the bottle mouth 2, and the bottom of the protective barrier 13 is welded and fixed to the top of the limiting sleeve 6. In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that the third sealing ring 12 can ensure the sealing performance between the rotating cylinder 8 and the bottle mouth 2, and can also increase the friction between the rotating cylinder 8 and the bottle mouth 2, so as to prevent the rotating cylinder 8 from rotating on its own when not operated manually, and the protective bar 13 can shield and protect the rotating cylinder 8 to prevent accidental contact with foreign objects. Furthermore, the outer wall of the rotating drum 8 is machined with grinding texture; In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that the grinding can increase the friction between the rotating drum 8 and people's fingers, so as to improve the ease of use; Specifically, when using this high-pressure hydrogen storage cylinder sealing structure that enables multiple seals, during installation, the worker places the first sealing ring 3 on the outer wall of the cylinder mouth 2, then inserts the cylinder mouth 2 into the opening of the unwelded cylinder body 1, and then welds and fixes the cylinder mouth 2 and cylinder body 1 together. Next, the second sealing ring 4 is placed on the cylinder mouth 2, and then the threaded sleeve 5 is used to tighten and fix the second sealing ring 4. Then, the limiting sleeve 6 is placed on the outer wall of the cylinder mouth 2 and inserted into the inside of the deformable limiting ring plate 7. Then, the second perforated plate 10, the first perforated plate 11, and the rotating cylinder 8 are installed in this way. Finally, the protective barrier 13 is welded to the outer wall of the cylinder mouth 2 and the limiting sleeve 6. At this point, the installation work is completed, and the cylinder can be put into use.

[0016] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
