AI Technical Summary
In hydrogen and oxygen generator equipment, tempering is prone to occur when used incorrectly, resulting in the combustion of hydrogen and oxygen mixture in the pipeline. Although there is an anti-fire device, it cannot effectively relieve pressure, causing the equipment to enter an inoperable state.
A safe pressure relief device for water electrolytic cells is designed, including a base, shell, top cover, pressure relief thimble, compression spring and sealing ring. It can automatically relieve pressure when a pressure increase occurs in the pipeline, and automatically reset after the pressure relief is completed to keep the system sealed.
The device can quickly relieve pressure when the device encounters a fire, ensuring that the device resumes normal operation and preventing the device from entering an unusable state due to implosion. At the same time, through the threaded shell and top cover design, the pressure relief device is more practical, convenient and more convenient to operate.

[0021] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0022] For examples, see Figure 1-4 , the utility model provides a technical solution:
[0023] A safety pressure relief device for a water electrolyzer comprises a base 1, which is welded and installed in an automatic pressure relief position, the top of the base 1 is threadedly connected to a shell 2, the top of the shell 2 is threadedly connected to a top cover 3, a sealing ring 6 is fixedly connected inside the base 1, a compression spring 5 is elastically connected inside the shell 2, a pressure relief ejector pin 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the compression spring 5, the pressure in the gas supply system is about 0.04-0.09MPa in a non-pressure relief state, the compression spring 5 in the pressure relief device presses the sealing ring 6 in the base 1 downward against the pressure relief ejector pin 4, the sealing performance is good at this time, the gas in the gas supply system can only enter the empty space at the lower end of the pressure relief ejector pin 4, and the pressure relief ejector pin 4 is arranged on the top of the sealing ring 6.
[0024] In this embodiment, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a plurality of through holes 7 are provided on the outside of the shell 2, and the plurality of through holes 7 are evenly distributed in the shell 2, and the radii of the plurality of through holes 7 are the same. The top cover 3 is cylindrical in shape, and the top cover 3 is opposite to the shell 2. The pressure relief ejector pin 4 is arranged at the bottom center of the compression spring 5, and the shape of the pressure relief ejector pin 4 is circular.
[0025] Among them, by setting up the base 1, the shell 2, the top cover 3, the pressure relief pin 4, the compression spring 5 and the sealing ring 6, the device can automatically release the pressure mechanically when a sudden pressure increase occurs in the pipeline or the equipment. After the pressure relief is completed, it can automatically reset to ensure that the entire system is still in a sealed state, and can immediately continue to work normally, ensuring that the equipment can quickly return to normal even if it encounters a backfire.
[0026] In this embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the base 1 is made of stainless steel and is cylindrical in shape. The sealing ring 6 is arranged at the center of the base 1. The cross-sectional areas of the outer shell 2 and the base 1 are the same and the shape of the outer shell 2 is cylindrical. When a sudden pressure surge occurs in the air supply system (exceeding 0.12MPa), the pressure is greater than the downward elastic force of the compression spring 5, and the pressure relief pin 4 is pushed open by the high pressure of the air supply system. The pressure in the system enters the pressure relief device through the hole in the pressure relief pin 4, and is then released to the external environment through the hole in the outer shell 2. After the pressure relief is completed, the pressure in the system returns to normal. When the pressure of the compression spring 5 is greater than the pressure in the system, the pressure relief pin 4 is pressed downward on the sealing ring 6 by the compression spring 5 to complete the sealing of the system, and the air supply system returns to normal use. The compression spring 5 is arranged at the center of the outer shell 2, and the compression spring 5 is opposite to the pressure relief pin 4. The sealing ring 6 is made of rubber, and the inner diameter of the sealing ring 6 is opposite to the pressure relief pin 4.
[0027] Among them, by setting the outer shell 2 and the top cover 3 for coordinated use, since the outer shell 2 and the top cover 3 are connected by threads, the top cover 3 can be easily disassembled, making the entire pressure relief device more practical and convenient when in use, and more convenient to operate.
[0028] Working process of the utility model: when the safety pressure relief device for water electrolyzer designed by the present scheme is in operation, the pressure in the gas supply system is about 0.04-0.09MPa in the non-pressure relief state, and the compression spring 5 in the pressure relief device presses the pressure relief ejector pin 4 downward to tightly press the sealing ring 6 in the base 1. At this time, the sealing is good, and the gas in the gas supply system can only enter the empty space at the lower end of the pressure relief ejector pin 4. At this time, the pressure is normal and cannot push open the pressure relief ejector pin 4. When the pressure in the gas supply system increases sharply (exceeds 0.12MPa), the pressure is greater than the downward elastic force of the compression spring 5, and the pressure relief ejector pin 4 is pushed open by the high pressure of the gas supply system. The pressure in the system enters the pressure relief device through the hole on the pressure relief ejector pin 4, and is then released to the external environment through the hole on the shell 2. After the pressure relief is completed, the pressure in the system returns to normal. When the pressure of the compression spring 5 is greater than the pressure in the system, the pressure relief ejector pin 4 is pressed downward by the compression spring 5 on the sealing ring 6 to complete the sealing of the system, and the gas supply system returns to normal use.
[0029] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
