[0020] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0021] (1) In the present invention, the first hydrogen storage bottle group with a hydrogen storage pressure of 20MPa and the second hydrogen storage bottle group with a hydrogen storage pressure of 45MPa are eliminated, thereby saving equipment investment and using the hydrogen production device of the refinery at the source of pipeline hydrogen as the hydrogen storage system of the fixed mother-child hydrogen refueling station; since the second hydrogen storage bottle group with a hydrogen storage pressure of 45MPa is eliminated, the sequential control cabinet system for controlling the pressure charging and pressure release thereof is also eliminated, saving investment in automatic control facilities.

[0022] (2) The design pressure of the three-stage compressor in the utility model is 35Mpa. A second hydrogen storage bottle group with a hydrogen storage pressure of 45MPa is provided in the existing filling process for the purpose of storing hydrogen and increasing the speed of hydrogenation. The present application uses the hydrogen production device of the refinery at the source of pipeline hydrogen as the hydrogen storage system of the fixed mother-child hydrogenation station. After canceling the second hydrogen storage bottle group with a hydrogen storage pressure of 45MPa, the compressor outlet pressure no longer needs to be 45MPa, and only needs to reach the design pressure of 35MPa of the on-board hydrogen storage bottle when filling the fuel cell vehicle.

[0023] (3) In the present invention, the first compressor of the secondary compression and the second compressor of the secondary compression are eliminated and optimized into a 35MPa liquid-driven compressor of the third-stage compression, thereby reducing the comprehensive equipment investment and energy consumption of the fixed mother-child hydrogenation station; the connecting pipelines of the spare long tube trailer and the spare unloading column that need to be activated when the hydrogen production device or the pipeline between the hydrogen production device and the third-stage compressor are shut down are connected to the secondary compression inlet of the third-stage compressor, which can also ensure the normal operation of the hydrogenation station in the event of a temporary interruption of the hydrogen production device or the pipeline between the hydrogen production device and the third-stage compressor of the refinery.

[0024] (4) The utility model eliminates the water chiller and heat exchanger of the hydrogen filling machine, simplifies the process, saves equipment investment, and reduces operating energy consumption; the existing hydrogen filling machine is equipped with a water chiller and a heat exchanger for the purpose of preventing the Joule-Thomson effect from occurring during the hydrogen pressure increase process when hydrogen is filled into a fuel cell vehicle, causing the on-board hydrogen storage bottle of the fuel cell vehicle to exceed the safe allowable temperature of 85°C; however, after the second hydrogen storage bottle group with a hydrogen storage pressure of 45MPa is eliminated in the present application, the pressure of hydrogen filled into the on-board hydrogen storage bottle of the fuel cell vehicle has been reduced from a maximum of 45MPa to a maximum of 35MPa. When hydrogen is filled into the on-board hydrogen storage bottle of the fuel cell vehicle under the maximum pressure of 35MPa, even if the maximum filling amount allowed by the hydrogen filling machine is reached, the temperature inside the on-board hydrogen storage bottle will not exceed 85°C. Therefore, eliminating the water chiller and the heat exchanger of the hydrogen filling machine meets the safety requirements for the temperature rise of the on-board hydrogen storage bottle of the fuel cell vehicle.

[0025] (5) The utility model is provided with a three-stage compression outlet dual-flow function of the three-stage compressor, that is, two hydrogen pipelines are led out from the three-stage compression outlet of the three-stage compressor, one of which goes to a hydrogen filling machine to fill hydrogen for fuel cell vehicles; and the other goes to a hydrogen filling column to fill hydrogen for long-tube trailers.

[0026] (6) The utility model realizes the functions of fueling fuel cell vehicles and charging long-tube trailers by setting the first valve, the second valve, and the third valve; regardless of whether there is hydrogen refueling for fuel cell vehicles, if it is necessary to charge the long-tube trailer with hydrogen, the opening of the second valve is controlled so that the pressure before the third valve does not exceed the first set value, such as 20MPa, to meet the requirement of safe charging of hydrogen to the long-tube trailer through the three-stage compression outlet of the three-stage compressor. If the pressure before the third valve exceeds the second set value, the second valve is closed; if the pressure before the third valve further increases and exceeds the third set value, the second valve is closed and the safety relief system is started at the same time to ensure that the hydrogen filling system is not over-pressurized, wherein the first set value, the second set value, and the third set value increase in sequence; under the condition that there is no hydrogen refueling for fuel cell vehicles, by closing the first valve, the hydrogen filling process can be temporarily stopped as appropriate.

[0034] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0037] The outlet of the hydrogen production device is connected to the first compression inlet of the three-stage compressor by a pipeline, and the third compression outlet of the three-stage compressor is connected to the inlet of the hydrogen filling machine by a pipeline, and the hydrogen filling machine is used to fill hydrogen for fuel cell vehicles;

[0038] The third-stage compression outlet of the three-stage compressor is also connected to a hydrogen filling column by a pipeline, and the hydrogen filling column is used to fill the long tube trailer with hydrogen;

[0039] The secondary compression inlet of the three-stage compressor is connected to the outlet of the spare unloading column through a pipeline, and the inlet of the spare unloading column is connected to the outlet of the spare long tube trailer through a pipeline.

[0040] Preferably, the design pressure of the three-stage compressor is 35 MPa.

[0041] Preferably, the three-stage compressor adopts a liquid-driven gas compressor to meet the requirements of starting and stopping at any time and reduce system energy consumption.

[0042] In the present application, the first hydrogen storage bottle group with a hydrogen storage pressure of 20MPa and the second hydrogen storage bottle group with a hydrogen storage pressure of 45MPa are cancelled, thereby saving equipment investment, and the hydrogen production device of the refinery at the source of pipeline hydrogen is used as the hydrogen storage system of the fixed mother-child hydrogen refueling station; since the second hydrogen storage bottle group with a hydrogen storage pressure of 45MPa is cancelled, the sequential control cabinet system for controlling the pressure charging and depressurization thereof is also cancelled, saving investment in automatic control facilities.

[0043] The design pressure of the three-stage compressor in this application is 35Mpa. A second hydrogen storage bottle group with a hydrogen storage pressure of 45MPa is provided in the existing filling process. The purpose is to store hydrogen and increase the speed of hydrogenation. This application uses the hydrogen production device of the refinery at the source of pipeline hydrogen as the hydrogen storage system of the fixed mother-child hydrogen filling station. After canceling the second hydrogen storage bottle group with a hydrogen storage pressure of 45MPa, the compressor outlet pressure no longer needs to be 45MPa, and it only needs to reach the design pressure of 35MP of the on-board hydrogen storage bottle when filling the fuel cell vehicle.

[0044] The present application cancels the first compressor of the secondary compression and the second compressor of the secondary compression, and optimizes them into a 35MPa liquid-driven compressor of the three-stage compression, thereby reducing the comprehensive equipment investment and energy consumption of the fixed mother-child hydrogenation station; the connecting pipes of the spare long tube trailer and the spare unloading column that need to be activated when the hydrogen production unit or the pipeline between the hydrogen production unit and the three-stage compressor are shut down are connected to the secondary compression inlet of the three-stage compressor, which can also ensure the normal operation of the hydrogenation station in the event of a temporary interruption of the hydrogen production unit or the pipeline between the hydrogen production unit and the three-stage compressor of the refining enterprise.

When hydrogen is refilled into the on-board hydrogen storage bottle of the fuel cell vehicle under a maximum pressure of 35MPa, even if the maximum refilling amount allowed by the hydrogenation machine is reached, the temperature inside the on-board hydrogen storage bottle will not exceed 85°C. Therefore, the hydrogenation machine chiller and heat exchanger are eliminated to meet the safety requirements for the temperature rise of the on-board hydrogen storage bottle of the fuel cell vehicle.

[0046] The present application sets up a dual-flow function for the three-stage compression outlet of the three-stage compressor, that is, two hydrogen pipelines are led out from the three-stage compression outlet of the three-stage compressor, one of which goes to the hydrogen filling machine to fill hydrogen for fuel cell vehicles; the other goes to the hydrogen filling column to fill hydrogen for long-tube trailers.

Specifically, the safety relief system may be a safety relief system uniformly provided at a hydrogen refueling station, wherein components of the safety relief system are existing technologies.

[0051] Preferably, a pressure sensor for monitoring the pressure in front of the third valve is arranged on the pipeline between the second valve and the third valve.

[0052] This application realizes the functions of fuel cell vehicle filling and long tube trailer charging through the setting of the first valve, the second valve, and the third valve; regardless of whether there is hydrogen filling for the fuel cell vehicle, if the long tube trailer needs to be filled with hydrogen, the opening of the second valve is controlled so that the pressure before the third valve does not exceed the first set value, such as 20MPa, to meet the requirements for safe filling of hydrogen to the long tube trailer through the three-stage compression outlet of the three-stage compressor. If the pressure before the third valve exceeds the second set value, the second valve is closed; if the pressure before the third valve increases further and exceeds the third set value, the second valve is closed and the safety relief system is started to ensure that the hydrogen filling system is not over-pressurized, wherein the first set value, the second set value, and the third set value increase in sequence; under the condition that there is no hydrogen filling for the fuel cell vehicle, by closing the first valve, the hydrogen filling process can be temporarily stopped as appropriate.
