AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In the existing technology, high-pressure gas from the mixed gas cylinder directly enters the molecular turbo pump during the initial stage of vacuuming, causing blade deformation or damage. Furthermore, the pumping efficiency decreases during the low-pressure stage. Although the existing buffer tank can buffer the flow, it affects the effective pumping speed.

Method used

The system employs a buffer tank design with a three-way pipe, a cylinder, a funnel, and a liftable buffer valve. After the high-pressure gas is diverted, part of it enters the cylinder, pushing the buffer valve to rise and seal the bottom of the funnel, while the other part enters the funnel, forming a multi-stage buffering effect to reduce gas flow rate and impact pressure. During the low-pressure stage, the buffer valve automatically descends, and the airflow path switches to a straight-through state, increasing the extraction path.

Benefits of technology

It effectively prevents turbine blade damage, extends vacuum pump life, improves vacuuming efficiency, simplifies system structure, enables automated control, and ensures equipment stability and efficient operation.

Abstract

本发明涉及气瓶抽真空设备技术领域,公开了一种混合气瓶用的抽真空设备,特别适用于物理储氢系统中配套使用的氮氢混合、氦氢混合等高压混合气瓶的抽真空预处理。本发明包括:真空泵和缓冲罐。缓冲罐设有三通管、筒体、漏斗及可升降的缓冲堵阀。高压混合气体经三通管分流,一路进入筒体推动缓冲堵阀上升封堵漏斗口,另一路直接进入漏斗,两路气流在漏斗内汇合形成缓冲,避免高压气体冲击真空泵;压力下降后缓冲堵阀下落,漏斗口敞开并旋转使支管与筒体连通,增加低压阶段抽气路径。本发明既能有效缓冲物理储氢用混合气瓶内高压气体在抽真空初期对真空泵的冲击,又能保证低压阶段的高抽气效率,结构紧凑、运行可靠。
