[0024] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiment of the utility model clearer, the technical solution in the embodiment of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiment of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiment is a part of the embodiment of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiment of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a novel and efficient gas-liquid separator structure of an embodiment of the utility model comprises a separator 1, an inlet pipe 2, a swirl plate 3, an outlet pipe 4, a head 5 and an outlet pipe 6. The separator 1 is configured as a cylindrical structure, and the inlet pipe 2 is connected to the upper end of the separator 1;

[0026] The swirl plates 3 are provided in plurality, and the plurality of swirl plates 3 are distributed circumferentially along the inner wall of the separator 1. The outlet end of the upper swirl plate 3 of two adjacent swirl plates 3 is connected to the inlet end of the lower swirl plate 3, and the inlet end of the uppermost swirl plate 3 is connected to the inlet pipe 2. A bottom pool 7 is provided at the inner lower end of the separator 1, and one end of the bottom pool 7 is used to be connected to the outlet pipe 4, and the other end of the bottom pool 7 is used to be connected to the outlet end of the lowermost swirl plate 3;

[0027] The sealing head 5 is connected to the upper end of the separator 1 , the air outlet pipe 6 is communicated with the sealing head 5 , and the separator 1 , the sealing head 5 and the air outlet pipe 6 are communicated in sequence.

[0028] In this embodiment, the electrolyte is introduced into the separator 1 through the inlet pipe 2, and the inlet pipe 2 is connected to the inlet end of the uppermost cyclone plate 3, so that the electrolyte can flow into the uppermost cyclone plate 3; secondly, a plurality of cyclone plates 3 are arranged on the inner wall of the separator 1, and the plurality of cyclone plates 3 are connected in sequence, so that the electrolyte on the uppermost cyclone plate 3 can flow into the lowermost cyclone plate 3; in addition, the outlet end of the lowermost cyclone plate 3 is connected to the bottom pool 7, so that the electrolyte can flow into the bottom pool 7; finally, the electrolyte in the bottom pool 7 can flow out through the outlet pipe 4.

[0029] Thus, in the process of the electrolyte flowing from the upper end of the separator 1 to the lower end of the separator 1, compared with the electrolyte directly falling into the bottom pool 7, the provision of multiple swirl plates 3 is conducive to increasing the gas-liquid residence time and the contact area with the atmosphere, so as to facilitate the discharge of hydrogen through the outlet pipe 6. Secondly, by providing multiple swirl plates 3, the electrolyte enters the bottom pool 7 through the multiple swirl plates 3, which is conducive to reducing the impact force of the electrolyte compared with the electrolyte directly falling into the bottom pool 7. In addition, by providing the bottom pool 7, the electrolyte gathers in the bottom pool 7 to form a liquid seal, which has the effect of preventing the hydrogen from flowing out through the outlet pipe 4.

[0030] Alternatively, if Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the swirl plate 3 is configured as a fan-shaped plate structure, and a plurality of the swirl plates 3 are staggeredly arranged in sequence from top to bottom. The fan-shaped plate structure is coaxially distributed with the separator 1, and the outer side wall of the fan-shaped plate structure is connected to the inner side wall of the separator 1.

[0031] In this embodiment, by setting the swirl plate 3 as a fan-shaped plate structure, when the swirl plates 3 are arranged sequentially from top to bottom, the swirl plates 3 can be arranged sequentially around the central axis of the separator 1, which facilitates the establishment of a connection between the inlet and outlet ends of two adjacent swirl plates 3, thereby quickly assembling the swirl plates 3.

[0032] Alternatively, if Figure 3 As shown, a first baffle 31 is provided at the inner side of the upper end surface of the fan-shaped plate-like structure, and a second baffle 32 is provided at the inlet end of the upper end surface of the fan-shaped plate-like structure.

[0033] Specifically, the first baffle plate 31 is configured as an arc-shaped plate, and the second baffle plate 32 is configured as a flat plate.

[0034] In this embodiment, by setting the first baffle 31 and the second baffle 32, a concave area can be formed at the upper end of the cyclone plate 3 by utilizing the first baffle 31, the second baffle 32 and the inner side wall of the separator 1, that is, only the outlet end is open at the upper end of the cyclone plate 3, and the electrolyte flowing into the concave area can only flow out from the outlet end. The concave area can be used to limit the flow direction of the electrolyte, so that the electrolyte flows along the concave area to the next cyclone plate 3 and finally flows into the bottom pool 7, thereby preventing the electrolyte from falling directly from the cyclone plate 3 into the bottom pool 7.

[0035] Alternatively, if Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the novel and efficient gas-liquid separator structure also includes a liquid sealing groove 8, which is arranged at the inner lower end of the separator 1, and the liquid sealing groove 8 is arranged as a fan-shaped structure. The two flat side walls of the liquid sealing groove 8 and the inner wall of the separator 1 are combined to form the bottom pool 7, and the liquid sealing groove 8 is connected to the bottom pool 7, and the bottom of the liquid sealing groove 8 is connected to the outlet pipe 4.

[0036] Specifically, the liquid seal groove 8 and the separator 1 are distributed synchronously.

[0037] In this embodiment, by setting a liquid seal groove 8 at the lower end inside the separator 1, the two flat side walls of the liquid seal groove 8 and the inner wall of the separator 1 can be used to enclose the bottom pool 7, thus, by setting the liquid seal groove 8 in the bottom, the bottom pool 7 and the liquid seal groove 8 can be formed at the same time, simplifying the overall structure of the novel and efficient gas-liquid separator structure. At the same time, by setting the liquid seal groove 8, the electrolyte forms a primary liquid seal in the bottom pool 7, and forms a secondary liquid seal in the liquid seal groove 8, further preventing the hydrogen from flowing out through the outlet pipe 4.

[0038] Alternatively, if Figures 2 to 4 As shown, a notch 81 is provided at the upper end of a flat side wall of the liquid seal tank 8 , and the electrolyte in the bottom pool 7 is used to enter the liquid seal tank 8 through the notch 81 , and the outlet end of the lowest cyclone plate 3 is away from the notch 81 .

[0039] Specifically, the outlet end of the lowest swirl plate 3 is located above the flat plate side wall of the liquid seal groove 8 without the notch 81 .

[0040] In this embodiment, by providing a notch 81 at the upper end of a flat side wall, the electrolyte in the bottom pool 7 can enter the liquid seal groove 8 through the notch 81 when the electrolyte level rises. At the same time, the outlet end of the lowest swirl plate 3 is far away from the notch 81 to prevent the electrolyte from flowing out directly through the liquid seal groove 8, thereby facilitating the formation of a primary liquid seal in the bottom pool 7.

[0041] Optionally, the novel and efficient gas-liquid separator structure further includes a valve, and the valve is connected to the outlet pipe 4 .

[0042] In this embodiment, by providing a valve on the outlet pipe 4 and adjusting the valve opening, the liquid level in the liquid sealing groove 8 can be adjusted, so as to form a secondary liquid seal in the liquid sealing groove 8 .

[0043] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
