[0057] See also Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 Shows Figure 1 A is a partial enlarged structural diagram of FIG. In some embodiments, the wall surface 120 of the device body 100 includes an inner surface layer 121, an intermediate layer 122, and an outer surface layer 123 connected in sequence from the inside to the outside.

[0058] Optionally, the inner surface layer 121 is configured as a nano-ceramic layer. Here, the inner surface layer 121 can ensure that the alkaline water is fully infiltrated in the accommodating cavity 130, so that there is no gas remaining in the area where the alkaline water contacts the inner wall of the container cavity, so that the inner wall surface of the accommodating cavity 130 has good anti-corrosion performance and can also improve durability.

[0059] Optionally, the middle layer 122 is configured as an acrylic and rubber composite material layer, and has a loose porous layer structure.

After sandblasting, dirt such as rust on the surface of the outer surface layer 123 can be removed, and a rough surface can be formed on the surface of the outer surface layer 123. By replacing abrasives of different particle sizes, the bonding force between the outer surface layer 123 and the intermediate layer 122 can be greatly improved.

[0066] The wall structure of the cooling pipe is introduced in detail. Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 Shows Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the partially enlarged structure of B in the figure. The wall of the cooling pipe is provided with a protruding structure along the circumference of the cooling pipe. Multiple protruding structures are provided on the wall from the water inlet 210 of the cooling pipe 200 to the water outlet 220 of the cooling pipe 200, and the multiple protruding structures are evenly distributed along the axial direction of the cooling pipe. The provision of the protruding structure on the wall of the cooling pipe can increase the surface area of ​​the cooling pipe, which is conducive to absorbing vibration energy and extending the service life of the cooling pipe.

[0068] Optionally, no gap may be provided between two adjacent protrusion structures 230 along the axial direction of the cooling pipe. Then, the plurality of protrusion structures are continuously and evenly distributed along the axial direction of the cooling pipe, which is conducive to fully increasing the surface area of ​​the cooling pipe, fully absorbing vibration energy, and effectively extending the service life of the cooling pipe.

[0069] Optionally, a gap may be provided between two axially adjacent protrusion structures 230 of the cooling pipe, and the sizes of the gaps are the same, which is beneficial to uniformly increase the surface area of ​​the cooling pipe, uniformly absorb vibration energy, and effectively extend the service life of the cooling pipe.

[0070] Optionally, a gap can be set between two axially adjacent protrusion structures 230 of the cooling tube, and each gap is different. Among them, the gap set between two axially adjacent protrusion structures 230 of the cooling tube can gradually decrease along the axial gap of the cooling tube, that is, the depth of the cooling tube extending into the liquid to be separated gradually increases, and the size of the gap can gradually decrease, which is conducive to dynamically increasing the surface area of ​​the cooling tube according to the relationship between the cooling tube and the liquid to be separated, more fully absorbing vibration energy, and effectively extending the service life of the cooling tube.

[0071] Optionally, a gap can be set between two axially adjacent protrusion structures 230 of the cooling tube, and each gap is different. Among them, the gap set between two axially adjacent protrusion structures 230 of the cooling tube can gradually increase along the axial gap of the cooling tube, that is, the depth of the cooling tube extending into the accommodating cavity gradually increases, and the size of the gap can gradually increase, which is beneficial to dynamically increase the surface area of ​​the cooling tube according to the relationship between the cooling tube and the alkaline water vapor, and is beneficial to efficiently condense the alkaline water vapor in the gas into alkaline water, more fully absorb the vibration energy, and effectively extend the service life of the cooling tube.

[0072] In some embodiments, referring to the diagram, the water inlet 210 of the cooling tube 200 to the water outlet 220 of the cooling tube 200 is in a U-shaped structure, wherein one side of the water inlet 210 of the cooling tube 200 is spirally coiled, and one side of the water outlet 220 of the cooling tube 200 is passed through the spiral coil, thereby increasing the contact area between the cooling tube and the liquid to be separated without increasing the overall footprint of the cooling tube, thereby improving the cooling efficiency and fully absorbing vibration energy, thereby effectively extending the service life of the cooling tube.

[0073] Optionally, the water inlet 210 of the cooling pipe 200 to the water outlet 220 of the cooling pipe 200 is in a U-shaped structure, wherein one side of the water outlet 220 of the cooling pipe 200 is spirally coiled, and one side of the water inlet 210 of the cooling pipe 200 is passed through the spiral coil, thereby increasing the contact area between the cooling pipe and the liquid to be separated without increasing the overall space occupied by the cooling pipe, thereby improving the cooling efficiency and fully absorbing vibration energy, thereby effectively extending the service life of the cooling pipe.

[0074] Optionally, the water inlet 210 of the cooling pipe 200 to the water outlet 220 of the cooling pipe 200 is in a U-shaped structure, and one side of the water inlet 210 of the cooling pipe 200 is spirally coiled, and one side of the water outlet 220 of the cooling pipe 200 is also spirally coiled, and the spiral coils arranged on the side of the water inlet 210 of the cooling pipe 200 and the spiral coils arranged on the side of the water outlet 220 of the cooling pipe 200 are arranged in an interlaced manner, so as to increase the contact area between the cooling pipe and the liquid to be separated, improve the cooling efficiency, and at the same time fully absorb the vibration energy, thereby effectively extending the service life of the cooling pipe.

[0075] In some embodiments, the gas concentration detector 500 is further included. The gas concentration detector 500 is installed in the accommodating cavity 130, and the lowest height of the gas concentration detector 500 in the accommodating cavity 130 is higher than the highest liquid level mark of the liquid 600 to be separated.

[0076] The gas concentration detected by the gas concentration detector 500 is inversely proportional to the power, frequency and amplitude of the ultrasonic generator 300. That is, when the gas concentration detector 500 detects a low gas concentration, the power, frequency and amplitude of the ultrasonic generator 300 need to be increased accordingly. When the gas concentration detector 500 detects a high gas concentration, the power, frequency and amplitude of the ultrasonic generator 300 need to be reduced accordingly.

[0077] In some embodiments, it also includes: a controller. The controller is electrically connected to the gas concentration detector 500 and the ultrasonic generator, respectively. The controller receives the real-time gas concentration in the containing cavity 130 detected by the gas concentration detector 500. When the real-time gas concentration is less than the preset gas concentration, it is judged that the gas concentration in the retaining wall containing cavity is low. At this time, it is necessary to increase the power, frequency and amplitude of the ultrasonic generator under the control of the controller. Or the controller receives the real-time gas concentration in the containing cavity 130 detected by the gas concentration detector 500. When the real-time gas concentration is greater than the preset gas concentration, it is judged that the gas concentration in the retaining wall containing cavity is high. At this time, it is necessary to reduce the power, frequency and amplitude of the ultrasonic generator under the control of the controller.

[0078] In some embodiments, the interference fit between the ultrasonic generator 300 and the cooling tube 200 can ensure a tight fit between the ultrasonic generator 300 and the cooling tube 200, and prevent the ultrasonic generator 300 from loosening or falling off during vibration.

[0079] In some embodiments, the ultrasonic generator 300 is connected to the cooling tube 200 by threads, which can ensure a secure installation between the ultrasonic generator 300 and the cooling tube 200 and prevent the ultrasonic generator 300 from loosening or falling off during vibration.

[0080] In some embodiments, it also includes: a damping interface. The damping interface is installed between the mounting port 110 and the cooling pipe 200. The damping interface 400 is a sleeve-shaped structure; the damping interface 400 is configured as a rubber interface. By providing the damping interface 400 between the mounting port 110 of the accommodating cavity 130 and the cooling pipe 200, the ultrasonic generator is prevented from causing vibration wear to the position in contact with the mounting port 110 of the device body 100 during operation, thereby extending the service life of the gas-liquid separator and ensuring the stability of the operation of the gas-liquid separator.

[0081] In some embodiments, the power of the ultrasonic generator 300 is 200 W to 50000 W. Preferably, the ultrasonic generator 30000.

[0082] In some embodiments, the frequency of the ultrasonic generator 300 is 20kHz to 500000kHz. Preferably, the frequency of the ultrasonic generator is 500000kHz.

[0083] In some embodiments, the amplitude of the ultrasonic generator 300 is 20 μm to 150 μm. Preferably, the amplitude of the ultrasonic generator 300 is 100 μm.

[0084] In one embodiment of the present application, a hydrogen production system is also provided, comprising a gas-liquid separator, an alkaline electrolyzer and a post-processing unit as described above. The alkaline electrolyzer, the gas-liquid separator and the post-processing unit are connected and arranged in sequence. In this embodiment, the alkaline electrolyzer is mainly used to electrolyze water to produce hydrogen and oxygen. The post-processing unit is mainly used to remove alkaline liquid from the gas-liquid mixture of hydrogen and oxygen produced after electrolysis.

[0085] When the operating power of the alkaline electrolytic cell is 20%, the power of the ultrasonic generator 300 is 30000W, the frequency of the ultrasonic generator 300 is 300000kHz, and the amplitude of the ultrasonic generator is 100μm, the purity of hydrogen detected by the gas concentration detector 500 is 99.21%, and the purity of oxygen is 99.09%. When the operating power of the alkaline electrolytic cell is 20%, and the ultrasonic generator 300 is not started, the purity of hydrogen detected by the gas concentration detector 500 is 97.17%, and the purity of oxygen is 97.05%.

[0086] When the alkaline electrolyzer is operated at 50% power, the power of the ultrasonic generator 300 is 10000W, the frequency of the ultrasonic generator 300 is 50000kHz, and the amplitude of the ultrasonic generator is 50μm, the purity of hydrogen detected by the gas concentration detector 500 is 99.40%, and the purity of oxygen is 99.15%. When the alkaline electrolyzer is operated at 50% power and the ultrasonic generator 300 is not started, the purity of hydrogen detected by the gas concentration detector 500 is 98.83%, and the purity of oxygen is 98.13%.

[0087] The gas-liquid separator provided in this embodiment is started when the operating power of the alkaline electrolyzer is less than 50%, which can ensure that the purity of hydrogen and oxygen obtained in the post-processing part is not reduced and avoid the problem of automatic shutdown.

[0088] In some embodiments, when the operating power of the alkaline electrolyzer is 20%, the power of the ultrasonic generator 300 is 30000W, the frequency of the ultrasonic generator 300 is 300000kHz, and the amplitude of the ultrasonic generator is 100μm, the purity of hydrogen detected by the gas concentration detector 500 is 99.21%, and the purity of oxygen is 99.09%. When the operating power of the alkaline electrolyzer is 50%, the power of the ultrasonic generator 300 is 10000W, the frequency of the ultrasonic generator 300 is 50000kHz, and the amplitude of the ultrasonic generator is 50μm, the purity of hydrogen detected by the gas concentration detector 500 is 99.40%, and the purity of oxygen is 99.15%. It can be seen that as the power, frequency, and amplitude of the gas-liquid separator decrease, the purity of hydrogen and oxygen detected by the gas concentration detector 500 increases. It can be seen that the power, frequency, and amplitude of the gas-liquid separator are inversely proportional to the purity of hydrogen and oxygen detected by the gas concentration detector 500.

[0089] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0090] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present application, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be pointed out that, for a person of ordinary skill in the art, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application.
