[0025] The present application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0026] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of a liquid hydrogen supply system provided in an embodiment of this application; Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the booster pipeline assembly in the embodiments of this application; Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the gas supply pipeline assembly in an embodiment of this application; Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the cold shield tube in an embodiment of this application.

[0027] refer to Figure 1 This application provides a liquid hydrogen supply system, which may include: a liquid reservoir 1, a filling pipe 2, a pressurization pipeline assembly, a gas supply pipeline assembly, and a return pipe 5. One end of the filling pipe 2 is connected to the gas phase of the liquid reservoir 1, and the other end is a filling port 21. A first valve 22 is provided on the filling pipe 2. One end of the pressurization pipeline assembly is connected to the bottom of the liquid reservoir 1, and the other end is connected to the gas phase of the liquid reservoir 1. The pressurization pipeline assembly converts liquid hydrogen into a gaseous state and transports it back to the gas phase of the liquid reservoir 1. One end of the gas supply pipeline assembly is connected to the liquid phase of the liquid reservoir 1. The gas supply pipeline assembly converts liquid hydrogen into a gaseous state for gas supply. One end of the return pipe 5 is connected to the gas phase of the liquid reservoir 1, and the other end is a return port 51. A second valve 52 is provided on the return pipe 5.

[0028] The liquid hydrogen supply system proposed in this application involves adding liquid hydrogen to a reservoir 1 through a filling pipe 2. During the filling process, the gas inside the reservoir 1 is discharged through a return gas pipe 5 to maintain the internal pressure balance of the reservoir 1. After filling is completed, the gas supply pipeline assembly can be used to convert the liquid hydrogen into a gaseous state for gas supply. During long-term use, if the internal pressure of the reservoir 1 decreases, the liquid hydrogen is converted into a gaseous state through a pressurization pipeline assembly and transported back to the reservoir 1, thereby increasing the internal pressure of the reservoir 1 to meet the working pressure requirements and ensuring normal gas supply.

[0029] It should be noted that the gas phase pressure inside the liquid reservoir 1 needs to meet a certain value in order to force liquid hydrogen into the gas supply pipeline assembly and maintain a certain gas supply pressure. The pressurization pipeline assembly is connected to the bottom of the liquid reservoir 1. In this way, even if the gas phase pressure inside the liquid reservoir 1 is insufficient, liquid hydrogen can still flow into the pressurization pipeline assembly, be converted into a gaseous state, and be transported back to the gas phase of the liquid reservoir 1 to ensure the gas phase pressure inside the liquid reservoir 1 for gas supply.

[0030] In addition, when adding liquid hydrogen, the first valve 22 should be opened and liquid hydrogen should be added from the filling port 21. The second valve 52 should be opened appropriately to maintain the pressure inside the reservoir 1 to meet the working pressure requirements. After the filling is completed, the first valve 22 and the second valve 52 should be closed.

[0031] In an exemplary embodiment, the liquid hydrogen supply system may further include: a liquid level measuring sensor 71 and a gas phase pressure sensor 72, wherein the liquid level measuring sensor 71 is disposed in the liquid reservoir 1; and the gas phase pressure sensor 72 is in communication with the gas of the liquid reservoir 1.

[0032] Specifically, the liquid hydrogen level inside the reservoir 1 can be detected by the liquid level measurement sensor 71 to determine whether the filling is complete. Alternatively, the gas phase pressure sensor 72 can be used to determine whether the gas phase pressure inside the reservoir 1 meets the working pressure requirements, thereby determining whether to stop the pressurization pipeline assembly.

[0033] It should be noted that a pressure display 73 can also be set to display the pressure of the gas phase pressure sensor 72, and a liquid level display transmitter 74 can be set to display the liquid level height measured by the liquid level measuring sensor 71, so that the operator can observe it.

[0034] Furthermore, the specific liquid level and gas pressure values ​​inside the reservoir 1 can be transmitted to an external control system, such as a computer, tablet, or mobile phone, to enable intelligent control of the first valve 22, the second valve 52, and the pressurization pipeline components.

[0035] refer to Figure 2 In an exemplary embodiment, the pressurization pipeline assembly may include: a pressurization pipe 3, one end of which is connected to the liquid reservoir 1 and the other end of which is connected to the return gas pipe 5. The connection area between the pressurization pipe 3 and the return gas pipe 5 is located between the second valve 52 and the liquid reservoir 1. In the circuit composed of the pressurization pipe 3, the return gas pipe 5 and the liquid reservoir 1, the pressurization pipe 3 is sequentially provided with a third valve 31, a pressurization regulating valve 32 and a pressurization air-temperature heat exchanger 33, and the return gas pipe 5 is provided with a fourth valve 34.

[0036] Specifically, when the gas phase pressure in the liquid reservoir 1 is insufficient, the third valve 31 and the fourth valve 34 can be opened. Liquid hydrogen flows into the pressurization pipe 3 due to its own gravity and passes through the pressurization regulating valve 32 to reach the pressurization air-temperature heat exchanger 33, so that the liquid hydrogen is converted into a gaseous state and passes through the fourth valve 34 from the return gas pipe 5 to reach the gas phase in the liquid reservoir 1, thereby pressurizing the gas phase in the liquid reservoir 1.

[0037] It should be noted that the pressure regulating valve 32 can be set to close under high pressure and open under low pressure. For example, when the internal pressure of the reservoir 1 is lower than the working pressure, the pressure on the pressure regulating valve 32 is relatively small and it can open automatically; when the internal pressure of the reservoir 1 is greater than or equal to the working pressure, the pressure on the pressure regulating valve 32 is relatively large and it can close automatically.

[0038] In this way, during the pressurization process, once the gas phase pressure inside the reservoir 1 meets the working pressure requirements, the pressurization regulating valve 32 can be automatically closed to stop pressurization. Then, the third valve 31 and the fourth valve 34 can be closed to prevent the internal pressure of the reservoir 1 from being too high, and the pressurization operation is more convenient and faster.

[0039] The opening and closing of the pressure regulating valve 32 can be achieved through the valve body's own structure or through an external control system, which will not be elaborated here.

[0040] refer to Figure 3 In an exemplary embodiment, the gas supply pipeline assembly may include: a gas supply pipe 4, one end of which is connected to the liquid reservoir 1; wherein, in the direction away from the liquid reservoir 1, a fifth valve 41, a vaporizer 42, a buffer tank 43, and a pressure regulating valve 44 are sequentially arranged on the gas supply pipe 4.

[0041] Specifically, the vaporizer 42 can be a liquid air temperature vaporizer. When gas supply is required, the fifth valve 41 is opened, and the liquid hydrogen inside the liquid reservoir 1 is forced into the gas supply pipe 4. The liquid hydrogen is converted into a gaseous state through the vaporizer 42 and stored in the buffer tank 43. Gas supply can be provided by opening the pressure regulating valve 44. At the same time, the opening pressure of the pressure regulating valve 44 can also be adjusted to regulate the gas supply pressure and flow rate.

[0042] refer to Figure 3 In an exemplary embodiment, a gas supply flame arrester 45 is also provided on the gas supply pipe 4; wherein, on the gas supply pipe 4, the gas supply flame arrester 45 is located on the side of the pressure regulating valve 44 away from the liquid reservoir 1.

[0043] Specifically, when hydrogen is used as the combustion medium, installing a flame arrestor 45 on the gas supply pipe 4 can effectively prevent flame backflow and improve the safety of the gas supply system.

[0044] refer to Figure 1In an exemplary embodiment, the liquid hydrogen supply system may further include: a first pressure relief pipe 61 and a second pressure relief pipe 62, wherein the first pressure relief pipe 61 is connected to the liquid reservoir 1 and a first pressure relief valve 611 is provided on the first pressure relief pipe 61; the second pressure relief pipe 62 is connected to the liquid reservoir 1 and a second pressure relief valve 621 is provided on the second pressure relief pipe 62; wherein the opening pressure of the second pressure relief valve 621 is greater than the opening pressure of the first pressure relief valve 611.

[0045] Specifically, when the gas phase pressure inside the reservoir 1 is high, the first pressure relief valve 611 automatically opens, releasing the internal pressure of the reservoir 1 through the first pressure relief pipe 61. In other words, the opening pressure of the first pressure relief valve 611 should be greater than the working pressure requirement inside the reservoir 1.

[0046] When the gas phase pressure inside the liquid reservoir 1 is too high, both the second pressure relief valve 621 and the first pressure relief valve 611 open, and the pressure is quickly relieved through the first pressure relief pipe 61 and the second pressure relief pipe 62, thereby improving the safety of the gas supply system.

[0047] refer to Figure 1 In an exemplary embodiment, the liquid reservoir 1 may include: an inner container 11, an outer container 12, and an insulation layer 13. The outer container 12 is sleeved on the outer side of the inner container 11 and has a vacuum gap between it and the inner container 11. The insulation layer 13 is disposed between the inner container 11 and the outer container 12.

[0048] The double-layered liquid storage container 1 can significantly reduce the transfer of heat from the external environment to the inner container 11. In addition, the addition of the insulation layer 13 can further block heat transfer, ensuring that the liquid hydrogen temperature is maintained within a low range, which facilitates liquid hydrogen storage.

[0049] Specifically, the inner container 11 is made of austenitic stainless steel with a high nickel content. The inner container 11 is formed by rolling a cylinder, and the end caps are standard elliptical end caps. It is formed by welding, and the weld is subjected to non-destructive testing to meet the qualification requirements. Before welding, the liquid level measuring sensor 71 is installed in the inner container 11 cylinder.

[0050] In addition, after manufacturing, the inner container 11 undergoes degreasing treatment to reduce the presence of organic matter. Under constant temperature and humidity conditions, insulating material, i.e., the insulating layer 13, is wrapped around the inner container 11. After wrapping, the insulating layer 13 is positioned between the inner container 11 and the outer container 12. The outer container 12 is made of 304 stainless steel, with the cylindrical material rolled and both ends composed of standard elliptical caps. The outer liner is welded to ensure there is no leakage. A vacuum is then created between the outer container 12 and the inner container 11 using a molecular pump to achieve a high vacuum level below 0.01 Pa.

[0051] refer to Figure 4In an exemplary embodiment, the liquid hydrogen supply system may further include: a cold shield tube 8, which is divided into a winding part and a connecting part that are interconnected. The winding part is wound between the inner container 11 and the insulation layer 13 and is connected to the gas phase of the inner container 11. In the direction away from the winding part, a sixth valve 81 and a cold shield pressure valve 82 are sequentially provided on the connecting part.

[0052] Specifically, by opening the sixth valve 81 and the cold screen pressure valve 82, the hydrogen inside the inner container 11 can flow through the cold screen pipe 8 between the inner container 11 and the insulation layer 13, thereby carrying away the excess heat of the insulation layer 13 caused by thermal radiation, thus extending the liquid hydrogen storage time.

[0053] The opening pressure of the cold screen pressure valve 82 is less than the opening pressure of the first pressure relief valve 611 and the second pressure relief valve 621, ensuring that the hydrogen cold energy is fully utilized before the first pressure relief valve 611 is opened; of course, the opening pressure of the cold screen pressure valve 82 should also be greater than or equal to the working pressure of the inner container 11 to ensure that the inner container 11 can work normally.

[0054] In addition, the winding part is disc-shaped and evenly distributed between the inner container 11 and the insulation layer 13, so that the winding part and the insulation layer 13 are in full contact, so as to carry more heat when in use.

[0055] refer to Figure 1 In an exemplary embodiment, the liquid hydrogen supply system may further include: a discharge pipe 9, one end of which is connected to the filling pipe 2 and the other end is a discharge port 91, the connection area between the discharge pipe 9 and the filling pipe 2 is located between the filling port 21 and the first valve 22; wherein, a seventh valve 92 is provided on the discharge pipe 9.

[0056] Specifically, before adding liquid hydrogen, the first valve 22 can be closed and the seventh valve 92 opened to purge the filling pipe 2 and reduce residual air. After purging, the seventh valve 92 can be closed and the first valve 22 opened to proceed with the filling.

[0057] In addition, such as Figure 1 As shown, the ends of the cold shield tube 8, the first pressure relief tube 61, and the second pressure relief tube 62 used for exhaust can all be connected to the exhaust tube 9, so that the emitted hydrogen gas can be discharged uniformly from the exhaust port 91 for centralized treatment.

[0058] It should be understood that the connection area between the cold shield pipe 8, the first pressure relief pipe 61, and the second pressure relief pipe 62 and the discharge pipe 9 is located between the discharge port 91 and the seventh valve 92.

[0059] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and do not limit the patent scope of this application. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of this application's specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this application.
