TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of solid hydrogen storage bottle detection, and particularly relates to a solid hydrogen storage bottle cycle life detection device and a method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] The solid hydrogen storage bottle is gradually applied in the fields of fuel cell driven two-wheel vehicles, urban environmental protection vehicles and express delivery vehicles due to its high safety and large volume hydrogen storage capacity. The cycle life is an important indicator for evaluating the performance of the solid hydrogen storage bottle. At present, there is no special detection instrument and detection standard in the country.

[0003] The prior art fills the hydrogen in the solid hydrogen storage bottle to be detected through the high-pressure gas cylinder, directly discharges the hydrogen from the solid hydrogen storage bottle to be detected after the hydrogen filling (emptying), and completes one hydrogen filling and discharging cycle detection. However, in actual detection, the hydrogen filling and discharging of the solid hydrogen storage bottle to be detected needs to be completed for thousands of cycles, which consumes a large amount of hydrogen and has a huge detection cost. SUMMARY

[0004] Based on the technical problems in the background art, the present application provides a solid hydrogen storage bottle cycle life detection device and a method thereof.

[0005] The solid hydrogen storage bottle cycle life detection device provided by the present application comprises a solid hydrogen storage bottle group and a solid hydrogen storage bottle to be detected, and further comprises a cold and hot water machine. The solid hydrogen storage bottle group and the solid hydrogen storage bottle to be detected are both wrapped with a water bath box, and a temperature sensor is arranged in the water bath box. A cold water pipe and a hot water pipe are connected between the cold and hot water machine and the water bath box, and a water circulation pump, a water switch valve and a water four-way joint are arranged on the pipe of the cold water pipe and the hot water pipe. The solid hydrogen storage bottle group comprises a hydrogen supply solid hydrogen storage bottle group and a hydrogen recovery solid hydrogen storage bottle group, and a gas pipeline is connected between the hydrogen supply solid hydrogen storage bottle group, the solid hydrogen storage bottle to be detected and the hydrogen recovery solid hydrogen storage bottle group. A gas ball valve, a flow meter, a pressure sensor, a gas three-way joint and a pressure reducing valve are arranged on the gas pipeline.

[0006] Further, the hydrogen supply solid hydrogen storage bottle group is filled with A type hydrogen storage alloy, and can provide a pressure of 3-5 MPa in a 60 DEG C water bath. The hydrogen recovery solid hydrogen storage bottle group is filled with B type hydrogen storage alloy, and the hydrogen pressure in a 0-10 DEG C water bath is less than 0.1 MPa.

[0007] Further, the cold and hot water machine and the water bath box realize hot water circulation or cold water circulation through the water circulation pump.

[0008] Further, the hot water in the cold and hot water machine is supplied to the external water bath box for heating, and is drawn back to the cold and hot water machine for cold water supply after being cooled by the hot water in the heat exchange water bath box. The cold water in the cold and hot water machine is supplied to the water bath box for cooling, and is drawn back to the cold and hot water machine for hot water supply after being heated by the cold water in the heat exchange water bath box.

[0009] Furthermore, flow meters and pressure sensors are installed on the gas pipelines between the hydrogen supply solid hydrogen storage cylinder group and the solid hydrogen storage cylinder to be tested, as well as between the solid hydrogen storage cylinder to be tested and the hydrogen recovery solid hydrogen storage cylinder group.

[0010] The present invention proposes a method for detecting the cycle life of a solid hydrogen storage cylinder, comprising the following steps: Step 1: Preparation before testing: Fill the hydrogen supply solid hydrogen storage cylinder group with hydrogen, drain the hydrogen from the solid hydrogen storage cylinder to be tested, and drain the hydrogen from the hydrogen recovery solid hydrogen storage cylinder group. Step 2, Hydrogen Charging Process: Turn on the hot and cold water dispenser and water circuit switch valve to provide hot water to the external water bath of the hydrogen supply solid-state hydrogen storage cylinder group, forming a closed loop of hot water supply. When the external water bath of the hydrogen supply solid-state hydrogen storage cylinder group reaches the set temperature, turn off the water circulation pump, and the hydrogen supply solid-state hydrogen storage cylinder group is in a standby state for hydrogen supply. Provide cold water circulation to the external water bath of the solid-state hydrogen storage cylinder under test through the four-way valve, circulation pump, and water circuit switch valve. Close the gas circuit valve, set the hydrogen charging pressure with the pressure reducing valve, open the hydrogen charging valve, and the solid-state hydrogen storage cylinder under test begins to be charged with hydrogen. Record the hydrogen charging amount through the flow meter, and simultaneously record the pressure and water bath temperature data until the solid-state hydrogen storage cylinder under test is full. Step 3, Hydrogen Release Process: The hot and cold water unit forms a closed-loop cold water supply with the external water tank of the hydrogen recovery and storage cylinder group through a four-way valve, circulation pump, and water switch valve. When the external water bath of the hydrogen recovery and storage cylinder group reaches the set temperature, the water circulation pump is turned off, and the hydrogen recovery and storage cylinder group is in the state of waiting to recover hydrogen. Hot water circulation is provided to the external water bath of the solid hydrogen storage cylinder under test through the four-way valve, circulation pump, and water switch valve. The gas valve is closed, the hydrogen release valve is opened, and the solid hydrogen storage cylinder under test begins to release hydrogen. The amount of hydrogen released is recorded by the flow meter, and the water bath temperature data is recorded at the same time until the hydrogen release is completed. Steps four, two, and three constitute a hydrogen charging and discharging cycle of the solid hydrogen storage bottle under test. This process is repeated, and the decay of the hydrogen storage bottle is determined by comparing the amount of hydrogen discharged from the bottle in each cycle with its initial capacity, thereby determining the service life of the solid hydrogen storage bottle under test. Step 5: When the cumulative hydrogen release detected by the flow meter approaches the capacity of the hydrogen recovery and storage cylinder group, the hydrogen from the hydrogen recovery and storage cylinder group is backfilled back into the hydrogen supply solid-state storage cylinder group.

[0011] Furthermore, in step two, the set temperature of the external water bath of the hydrogen supply solid hydrogen storage cylinder group is 60℃; the temperature of the external water bath of the solid hydrogen storage cylinder to be tested is 5-10℃; and the hydrogen charging pressure of the pressure reducing valve is set to 3-5MPa.

[0012] Furthermore, in step three, the external water bath of the hydrogen recovery storage cylinder group is set to a temperature of 5-10℃; the external water bath of the solid hydrogen storage cylinder to be tested is set to a temperature of 60℃.

[0013] Furthermore, in step five, the hot water in the external water bath of the hydrogen recovery storage cylinder group is circulated to 60-80℃, the cold water in the external water bath of the hydrogen supply solid storage cylinder group is circulated to 5-10℃, and the gas circuit valve is opened to realize hydrogen reverse charging and recycling.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: During the testing process, hydrogen can be recycled, significantly reducing the cost of hydrogen.

[0015] During the test, the hydrogen storage cylinder group absorbed and released heat in a cycle, which greatly reduced the energy consumption of the hot and cold water heater.

[0016] The detection device does not use high-pressure gas cylinders, which improves safety.

[0017] The detection process is automated, improving detection efficiency. Attached Figure Description

When the external water bath 3-1 of the hydrogen supply solid-state storage cylinder group 1-1 reaches the set temperature, the water circulation pump 7 is turned off, and the hydrogen supply solid-state storage cylinder group 1-1 is in a standby hydrogen supply state. Cold water circulation is provided to the external water bath 3-2 of the solid-state storage cylinder 2 under test through four-way valves 12-1 and 12-2, circulation pumps 7-3 and 7-4, and water circuit valves 6-3 and 6-4. The gas circuit valve 10-3 is closed, the pressure reducing valve is set to the hydrogen charging pressure, and the hydrogen charging valve 10-2 is opened.

This cycle is repeated. By comparing the amount of hydrogen discharged from the hydrogen storage bottle under test in each cycle with its initial capacity, the decay change of the hydrogen storage bottle can be determined, thereby determining the service life of the solid hydrogen storage bottle 2 under test. Step 5: When the cumulative hydrogen release detected by flow meter 9-2 approaches the capacity of hydrogen recovery and storage cylinder group 1-2, the hydrogen in hydrogen recovery and storage cylinder group 1-2 is backfilled back into the hydrogen supply solid-state storage cylinder group 1-1.

Group 1-2 is in the state of waiting to recover hydrogen; hot water circulation (preferably 60℃) is provided to the external water bath of the solid hydrogen storage bottle under test through four-way valves 12-1 and 12-2, circulation pumps 7-3 and 7-4, and water circuit switch valves 6-3 and 6-4; gas circuit valve 10-2 is closed, hydrogen release valve 10-3 is opened, and the solid hydrogen storage bottle under test begins to release hydrogen.
