[0014] Compared with the prior art, the utility model provides a hydrogen pipeline that is convenient for measuring the amount of gas released, and has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. In the utility model, a throttling device is provided, and a small amount of hydrogen flows into the valve body from the outlet pipe.

[0028] Please refer to 5, in the embodiment of the present utility model:

[0029] The current limiter 56 includes an installation frame 561, a current limiting block 562, a current limiting spring 563, and a fixed block 564. The current limiting block 562 is arranged at the bottom of the installation frame 561, and the current limiting block 562 is fixed to the bottom of the current limiting spring 563. The current limiting spring 563 is installed inside the fixed block 564, and the fixed block 564 is fixed to the right end of the outlet pipe 55. The current limiting block 562 is arc-shaped as a whole, ensuring that the current limiting block 562 limits the gas to prevent gas leakage. There are two groups of current limiting springs 563, and the two groups of current limiting springs 563 are both arranged at the top of the current limiting block 562.

[0030] refer to Figure 1-Figure 5When in use, the gas reaction is introduced into the interior of the PSA device 1 by starting the air induction pump 2, and the gas reacts with each other inside the PSA device 1, thereby generating hydrogen that flows into the interior of the main gas pipe 3, and then the FT control valve 4 disposed on the outside of the main gas pipe 3 is loosened, and the FT control valve 4 disposed on the outside of the auxiliary gas pipe 7 is manually opened, and the venting pump 8 is started to squeeze the hydrogen, thereby improving the purity of the hydrogen, and then the purified hydrogen is introduced into the interior of the throttling device 5 through the throttling gas pipe 9, ensuring that the throttling device 5 can provide gas to the gas supply conduit 6, so that the gas supply conduit 6 can provide hydrogen to the customer, and in this process, the gas detector 59 disposed inside the throttling device 5 can record and store the outflowing hydrogen;

[0031] When it is necessary to stop delivering hydrogen, all FT control valves 4 are closed. Of course, a small amount of hydrogen will flow into the valve body 51 from the outlet pipe 55. When the control motor 53 is started to drive the valve core 54 to rotate, the position of the flow port of the valve core 54 rotates, which blocks the hydrogen and prevents the hydrogen from flowing out.

[0032] After the valve core 54 cuts off the gas, it moves downward by pushing the fixed block 564 through the flow limiting spring 563 and blocks the gas outlet pipe 55, so that the gas outlet pipe 55 cannot provide hydrogen to the gas supply duct 6, causing a small amount of hydrogen to be retained inside the gas outlet pipe 55, and the gas is recovered from the reflux gas pipe 57. Then, under the action of the flow limiter 56, the hydrogen that is not cut off is limited and is introduced into the reflux gas pipe 57 for recovery, thereby achieving the goal of starting the throttling device 5 to cut off the overflowing hydrogen, effectively preventing the situation that some hydrogen still flows to the customer after the valve is closed, thereby solving the problem that in traditional equipment, hydrogen still overflows after the valve is closed, causing considerable economic losses to the gas supplier and easily causing disagreements.
