Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of container ships, and more specifically, to a novel hydrogen-powered inland waterway container ship. Background Technology

[0002] With increasing global emphasis on environmental protection and sustainable development, hydrogen energy, as a clean and efficient form of energy, has broad application prospects in the transportation sector, especially in inland waterway shipping. Hydrogen-powered container ships, due to their zero emissions and low noise characteristics, are considered an important development direction to replace traditional fuel-powered ships.

[0003] However, as a flammable and explosive gas, the safety of hydrogen storage and use is a key challenge for the development of hydrogen-powered ships. In existing technologies, hydrogen-powered ships typically use high-pressure hydrogen storage tanks. Although these tanks themselves have certain safety features, unforeseen factors such as collisions, equipment failures, and material fatigue can still lead to leaks or even explosions during ship operation. In the event of a hydrogen leak, especially in the enclosed or semi-enclosed environment of a ship's cabin, the hydrogen mixed with air can reach explosive limits, potentially causing serious fires or explosions, posing a significant threat to the lives of crew members, the ship's structure, and the surrounding environment. Therefore, we propose a novel hydrogen-powered inland waterway container ship. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention provides a novel hydrogen-powered inland waterway container ship, solving the technical problem in related technologies where hydrogen leakage, especially in enclosed or semi-enclosed ship cabin environments, can lead to serious fires or explosions when the hydrogen mixes with air to the explosive limit.

[0005] The present invention provides a novel hydrogen-powered inland waterway container ship, comprising: a hydrogen-powered container ship, wherein a hydrogen storage chamber is fixedly provided in the stern space of the hydrogen-powered container ship, and a hydrogen tank placement mechanism is integrated in the hydrogen storage chamber for centralized and safe placement of hydrogen storage tanks.

[0006] The hydrogen tank placement mechanism includes a hydrogen tank storage cabinet, an explosion-proof chamber, and an emergency tank pushing assembly. The hydrogen tank storage cabinet is equipped with an array of multiple tank insertion compartments, and the inlet end of each tank insertion compartment is higher than its bottom end to form an anti-backflow structure.

[0007] The emergency push-can assembly includes an air box, a kinetic tube, a piston block, a push-can plate, and a pull-plate rope;

[0008] The explosion-proof chamber is located at the back of the hydrogen tank storage cabinet. Multiple disposal compartments are arranged in an array inside the explosion-proof chamber, and each disposal compartment is axially aligned with its corresponding insertion compartment.

[0009] The explosion-proof room is also equipped with a media storage chamber at the top, which is connected to each disposal compartment via a controllable valve;

[0010] The emergency pusher assembly is embedded in the side wall of the insertion compartment. When the monitoring system of the hydrogen tank storage cabinet detects a risk of failure in several hydrogen tanks in the insertion compartment, it triggers the emergency pusher assembly to quickly push the corresponding faulty hydrogen tank axially into the corresponding disposal compartment and mechanically seal it. Then, a reaction medium is injected into the disposal compartment through the medium storage chamber, so that the faulty hydrogen tank is completely immersed in the medium and reacts chemically with the leaked hydrogen gas, thereby achieving triple safety protection of rapid isolation, inerting treatment and hazard elimination.

[0011] Furthermore, guide grooves are provided on the left and right sides of the insertion chamber, and a door is provided at the front end of the insertion chamber. Each insertion chamber corresponds to one door. Multiple different types of sensors are installed in the insertion chamber and transmit the detection data to the system.

[0012] Furthermore, the gas box is fixed to the inner wall of the compartment door, and the gas outlet of the gas box is connected to the gas supply pipe through a control valve. The end of the gas supply pipe away from the gas box is connected to two kinetic energy pipes.

[0013] Furthermore, the two kinetic energy tubes are respectively fixed in the guide grooves on the inner wall of the insertion tank. The side wall of the kinetic energy tube is slidably provided with a pusher plate. The upper and lower walls of the pusher plate are rotatably provided with rotating balls. The pusher plate is slidably connected to the guide groove through the rotating balls. The pusher plate is initially located at the front end of the hydrogen tank.

[0014] Furthermore, the kinetic tube is equipped with a piston block inside, and a wire hole is opened in the cylinder wall of the kinetic tube. A pull plate rope is threaded through the wire hole, and the two ends of the pull plate rope are connected to the piston block and the push plate, respectively. The piston block is pushed by high gas pressure, which pulls the pull plate rope and drives the push plate to slide, pushing the hydrogen tank from the insertion chamber into the disposal chamber.

[0015] Furthermore, the entrance to the disposal chamber is equipped with a fixed closed door, which is controlled by the system. The closed door is petal-shaped and consists of multiple fan-shaped metal plates. The internal diameter of the closed door is larger than the size of the hydrogen tank.

[0016] Furthermore, a main intake pipe is fixedly installed on the upper wall of the explosion-proof chamber, and the end of the main intake pipe away from the explosion-proof chamber is connected to the purification equipment to guide the hydrogen gas diffused in the treatment chamber to the purification equipment for treatment.

[0017] Furthermore, each treatment chamber is connected to an air intake branch pipe at its entrance, and all air intake branch pipes converge at the air intake end of the main air intake pipe. Each air intake branch pipe is equipped with a valve and is controlled by the system.

[0018] Furthermore, each treatment chamber is equipped with a detection module on its inner wall, and the detection module consists of multiple different types of sensors used to detect different data and upload them to the system for analysis.

[0019] Furthermore, the interior of the media storage chamber is divided into two parts: a pre-storage chamber and a pump chamber. The pre-storage chamber stores the media, and the pump chamber is equipped with multiple liquid supply pumps connected to the pre-storage chamber. The liquid supply pumps are connected to a mass supply pipe at their outlet ends, and each treatment chamber is connected to a mass supply pipe at its bottom. Each treatment chamber also pre-stores a portion of the media for rapid immersion of the faulty hydrogen tank.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0021] This invention, by setting up an emergency tank pusher assembly, can quickly push a faulty hydrogen tank from the normal storage area into an independent disposal chamber when the monitoring system detects a fault risk, thereby achieving rapid physical isolation of the fault source and effectively preventing the spread of the fault. At the same time, the mechanical sealing function of the disposal chamber further ensures the thoroughness of the isolation.

[0022] By combining "rapid isolation," "mechanical sealing," and "inerting," a "triple safety protection" system for faulty hydrogen tanks was constructed, which significantly improved the overall safety of hydrogen-powered container ships and effectively reduced the probability and severity of hydrogen leaks or explosions.

[0032] The subject matter described herein will now be discussed with reference to exemplary embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are discussed only to enable those skilled in the art to better understand and implement the subject matter described herein, and changes may be made to the function and arrangement of the elements discussed without departing from the scope of this specification. Various processes or components may be omitted, substituted, or added as needed in the examples. Furthermore, features described in some examples may be combined in other examples.

[0033] like Figures 1-8 As shown, a new type of hydrogen-powered inland waterway container ship includes: a hydrogen-powered container ship 11, a hydrogen energy storage chamber 12 fixedly provided in the stern space of the hydrogen energy container ship 11, and a hydrogen tank placement mechanism 2 integrated in the hydrogen energy storage chamber 12 for centralized and safe placement of hydrogen storage tanks.

[0034] The hydrogen tank placement mechanism 2 includes a hydrogen tank storage cabinet 21, an explosion-proof chamber 31, and an emergency tank pushing assembly. Multiple tank insertion compartments 22 are arranged in an array inside the hydrogen tank storage cabinet 21, and the height of the inlet end of each tank insertion compartment 22 is higher than its bottom height to form an anti-backflow structure.

[0035] The emergency push can assembly includes an air box 24, a kinetic energy tube 28, a piston block 29, a push can plate 26, and a pull plate rope 202;

[0036] The explosion-proof chamber 31 is located on the back of the hydrogen tank storage cabinet 21. Multiple disposal compartments 33 are arranged in an array inside the explosion-proof chamber 31, and each disposal compartment 33 is axially aligned with the corresponding insertion compartment 22.

[0037] The explosion-proof chamber 31 is also fixedly equipped with a medium storage chamber 36 at the top of the interior. The medium storage chamber 36 is connected to each disposal chamber 33 through a controllable valve.

[0038] The emergency push assembly is embedded in the side wall of the insertion compartment 22. When the monitoring system of the hydrogen tank storage cabinet 21 detects that there is a risk of failure in several hydrogen tanks in the insertion compartment 22, the emergency push assembly is triggered to quickly push the corresponding faulty hydrogen tank into the corresponding disposal compartment 33 along the axial direction and mechanically seal it. Then, the reaction medium is injected into the disposal compartment 33 through the medium storage chamber 36, so that the faulty hydrogen tank is completely immersed in the medium and reacts chemically with the leaked hydrogen gas, thereby achieving triple safety protection of rapid isolation, inerting treatment and hazard elimination.

[0039] The can insertion chamber 22 has guide grooves 25 on the left and right sides inside. The front end of the can insertion chamber 22 is equipped with a door 23. Each can insertion chamber 22 corresponds to a door 23. Multiple different types of sensors are installed in the can insertion chamber 22 and transmit the detection data to the system.

[0040] The gas box 24 is fixed to the inner wall of the door 23. The gas outlet of the gas box 24 is connected to the gas supply pipe 27 through a control valve. The end of the gas supply pipe 27 away from the gas box 24 is connected to two kinetic energy pipes 28.

[0041] Two kinetic energy tubes 28 are fixed in the guide grooves 25 on the inner wall of the insertion chamber 22. A pusher plate 26 is slidably provided on the side wall of the kinetic energy tube 28. A rotating ball 203 is rotatably provided on the upper and lower walls of the pusher plate 26. The pusher plate 26 is slidably connected to the guide groove 25 through the rotating ball 203. The pusher plate 26 is initially located at the front end of the hydrogen tank.

[0042] The kinetic tube 28 is equipped with a piston block 29 inside, and a wire hole 201 is opened in the cylinder wall of the kinetic tube 28. A pull plate rope 202 is threaded through the wire hole 201, and the two ends of the pull plate rope 202 are connected to the piston block 29 and the push plate 26 respectively. The piston block 29 is pushed by high gas pressure, which pulls the pull plate rope 202 and drives the push plate 26 to slide, pushing the hydrogen tank from the insertion chamber 22 into the disposal chamber 33.

[0043] The entrance to the disposal chamber 33 is fixedly equipped with a closed door 34, which is controlled by the system. The closed door 34 is petal-shaped and composed of multiple fan-shaped metal plates. The internal diameter of the closed door 34 is larger than the size of the hydrogen tank.

[0044] An air intake manifold 32 is fixedly installed on the upper wall of the explosion-proof chamber 31, and the end of the air intake manifold 32 away from the explosion-proof chamber 31 is connected to the purification equipment to guide the hydrogen gas diffused in the treatment chamber 33 to the purification equipment for treatment.

[0045] Each treatment chamber 33 is connected to an air intake branch pipe 35 at its inlet. All air intake branch pipes 35 converge at the air intake end of the main air intake pipe 32. Each air intake branch pipe 35 is equipped with a valve and is controlled by the system.

[0046] Each treatment chamber 33 is equipped with a detection module 38 on its inner wall. The detection module 38 consists of multiple different types of sensors used to detect different data and upload them to the system for analysis.

[0047] The interior of the media storage chamber 36 is divided into two parts: a pre-storage chamber 361 and a pump chamber 362. The pre-storage chamber 361 stores the media, and the pump chamber 362 is equipped with multiple liquid supply pumps 363. The liquid supply pumps 363 are connected to the pre-storage chamber 361, and the outlet end of the liquid supply pumps 363 is connected to a mass supply pipe 37. Each disposal chamber 33 is also pre-stored with a portion of the media for rapid immersion of the faulty hydrogen tank.

[0048] The core of this system lies in the construction of an integrated proactive hydrogen storage safety system encompassing monitoring, isolation, and disposal. Its workflow is divided into two modes: routine storage and emergency response.

[0049] Normal storage and monitoring mode:

[0050] When the hydrogen-powered container ship 11 is sailing, multiple hydrogen storage tanks are placed in the respective tank compartments 22 of the hydrogen tank storage cabinet 21. The tank compartment 22 is designed with an inclined structure where the inlet end is higher than the bottom, forming an anti-backflow structure to prevent any possible liquids such as condensate or leaked media from flowing back into the tank area and to keep the tank mounting base dry.

[0051] Each tank compartment 22 integrates various types of sensors (such as hydrogen concentration sensors, temperature sensors, pressure sensors, vibration sensors, etc.) to monitor the tank status in real time. The data is continuously uploaded to the central control system.

[0052] The push plate 26 of the emergency push assembly is initially positioned at the front of the hydrogen tank (near the door 23) and is in standby mode.

[0053] Emergency isolation and response model:

[0054] When the monitoring system analyzes sensor data (such as detecting a hydrogen concentration > 1% LEL (lowest explosion limit, approximately 4% of the hydrogen integral) as a warning threshold, or an abnormal surge in pressure / temperature), and determines that a hydrogen tank in a specific storage compartment 22 poses a risk of leakage, overheating, or other malfunctions, the system immediately and automatically triggers the following chain of safety actions:

[0055] Step 1: Rapid physical isolation of the faulty tank:

[0056] The control system first instructs the compartment door 23 to lock, cutting off the passage in front.

[0057] Immediately, the emergency canister pushing assembly is triggered. The specific actions are as follows: the control valve of the gas box 24 opens instantly, releasing high-pressure inert gas, which enters the kinetic energy pipes 28 on both sides through the gas supply pipe 27.

[0058] High-pressure gas drives the piston block 29 inside the kinetic energy tube 28 to move at high speed. According to the momentum principle (FΔt = mΔv), through optimized design, the piston block 29 can obtain a huge impulse (FΔt) in a very short time (Δt, for example < 0.5 seconds), thereby generating a powerful instantaneous thrust.

[0059] Piston block 29 pulls pusher plate 26 via pull plate rope 202 passing through wire hole 201. Pusher plate 26 slides backward along guide groove 25 with extremely low friction with the assistance of ball bearing 203, like a high-speed piston, accurately and quickly pushing the faulty hydrogen tank from insertion compartment 22 into the disposal compartment 33 that is aligned with it.

[0060] Pushing force estimation: Assuming a 500kg hydrogen canister needs to be accelerated to 2m / s within 0.5 seconds to overcome resistance and ensure entry into the tank, the required average thrust is... This thrust can be easily achieved by designing a reasonable pressure in the air chamber 24 and piston area.

[0061] At the start of the reset process, the control system instructs the relevant valves in the gas box 24 to switch their operating states. The high-pressure inert gas in the gas box 24 has been completely released, and the piston block 29 loses the thrust of the gas. At this point, one processing operation of the hydrogen tank has been completed. When replacing the hydrogen tank later, the staff will manually reset the push plate 26 and add high-pressure inert gas back into the gas box 24 to prepare for the next operation.

[0062] Reset completion confirmation: The pusher plate 26 finally slides back to its initial standby position, which is located at the front of the newly placed hydrogen tank (near the door 23). At this time, the entire emergency pusher assembly has completed its reset and returned to standby status, ready for the next possible emergency pusher operation.

[0063] Step 2: Mechanical sealing and maintenance of disposal compartment 33

[0064] The moment the faulty hydrogen tank fully enters the disposal chamber 33, its entrance door 34 immediately closes in a controlled manner. Its petal-shaped multi-sectoral plate structure can rotate and close rapidly, forming a mechanical seal that completely encloses the faulty tank within the independent explosion-proof chamber 31 unit of the disposal chamber 33. The inner diameter of the closing door 34 is larger than the hydrogen tank, ensuring no interference during the tank pushing process.

[0065] Step 3: Inerting and chemical elimination of leaked hydrogen:

[0066] The detection module 38 on the inner wall of the treatment chamber 33 confirms that the hydrogen tank has entered and detects the environment inside the chamber.

[0067] The system then opens the valve on the supply pipe 37 corresponding to the treatment chamber 33 and starts the liquid supply pump 363 in the pump chamber 362 inside the medium storage chamber 36.

[0068] The specific reaction medium stored in the pre-storage chamber 361 (e.g., a slurry / liquid substance capable of rapidly undergoing a redox reaction or physical adsorption with hydrogen, such as an inert liquid supporting a catalyst) is rapidly pumped into the disposal chamber 33. The injection rate of the medium should ensure that the hydrogen tank is completely submerged within a short time, such as 10-30 seconds.

[0069] The medium reacts chemically with the leaked hydrogen. For example, if catalytic liquid-phase hydrogen removal technology is used, the reaction can be simplified as follows: This process can rapidly reduce the hydrogen concentration in disposal chamber 33, bringing it well below the lower explosive limit.

[0070] Meanwhile, the valve of the suction branch pipe 35 at the top of the treatment chamber 33 can be opened according to the pressure conditions, and the trace amounts of unreacted hydrogen or gaseous products that may remain can be discharged to the marine purification equipment for final treatment through the main suction pipe 32, so as to maintain the explosion-proof chamber 31 under negative pressure or normal pressure safety conditions.

[0071] A single faulty hydrogen tank completed the entire automated safety process, from detection and forced removal from the storage tank to being sealed and inerted, within minutes.

[0072] It achieves "triple active safety protection", which greatly improves the inherent safety level of hydrogen-powered ships.

[0073] First layer: rapid physical isolation. The faulty tank was removed from the densely stored hydrogen tank storage cabinet 21 by the emergency tank pusher assembly, which prevented the faulty tank from affecting adjacent tanks, prevented the accident from escalating, and achieved precise "point-to-point" isolation.

[0074] The second layer of protection involves inerting the confined space. The faulty tank is pushed into a separate explosion-proof chamber 31 and disposal compartment 33 and mechanically sealed, completely isolating it from the rest of the ship. An inert / reactive medium is then injected, fundamentally altering the atmospheric environment surrounding the faulty tank, preventing the formation of an explosive gas mixture even if leakage continues.

[0075] The third level: chemical elimination of the hazard source. The medium reacts with the leaked hydrogen, converting the dangerous hydrogen into safe water or other stable substances. This is a true "elimination" rather than just "dilution" or "isolation," completely eradicating the risk of combustion and explosion.

[0076] The system is highly responsive and automated, making it suitable for the complex environment of inland waterway transportation.

[0077] From detecting the fault to completing the tank push and sealing, the entire process can be completed automatically within tens of seconds, far faster than manual intervention. This is crucial for inland waterway vessels where space is relatively limited and rescue conditions are restricted.

[0078] Intelligent monitoring systems based on multi-sensor data fusion can achieve early warning and accurate positioning, avoiding erroneous actions.

[0079] The hydrogen tank and the insertion compartment 22 integrate an automatic connection assembly, enabling rapid and safe docking of fuel supply. The core of this assembly lies in its ability to automatically complete the physical connection and sealing once the hydrogen tank is correctly inserted into the insertion compartment 22, ensuring a stable delivery of hydrogen to the ship's fuel cell system.

[0080] The embodiments of the present invention have been described above, but the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. The specific embodiments described above are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Those skilled in the art can make many other forms based on the guidance of the present embodiments, all of which are within the protection scope of the present embodiments.
