DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] In order to more clearly illustrate the embodiments of the present application, the specific implementation methods of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present application. For ordinary technicians in this field, other drawings and other implementation methods can be obtained based on these drawings without creative work.

[0028] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", etc., are based on the directions or positions shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of description and simplification of operation, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the application. In addition, the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used to distinguish in the description and have no special meaning.

[0029] According to some embodiments of the present application, Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a hydrogen storage bottle welding structure is provided, including a first bottle body 1 and a second bottle body 2, the first bottle body 1 and the second bottle body 2 are matched by oblique plug-in to form a first overflow groove 3 and a second overflow groove 4, the welding surface between the first bottle body 1 and the second bottle body 2 is interference fit and a fusion portion 5 is formed by laser welding, the first overflow groove 3 and the second overflow groove 4 are respectively connected to the fusion portion 5; wherein the sum of the areas of the first overflow groove 3 and the second overflow groove 4 is greater than the area of ​​the fusion portion 5.

[0030] In some embodiments of the present application, the first bottle body 1 has an oblique inner concave section 11 , and the second bottle body 2 has an oblique outer convex section 21 , and the oblique inner concave section 11 is plug-fitted with the oblique outer convex section 31 .

[0031] Furthermore, the oblique inner concave section 11 has a first inclined surface 111, and the oblique outer convex section 21 has a second inclined surface 211. The length of the first inclined surface 111 is greater than the length of the second inclined surface 211. Through the cross-sectional coordination between the first inclined surface 111 and the second inclined surface 211, the coordination of the inclined surfaces can ensure that the molten overflow from laser welding flows into the first overflow groove 3 and the second overflow groove 4.

[0032] Furthermore, the first inclined plane 111 and the second inclined plane 211 are arranged in parallel, and the inclination angle is set to 10-30°. Preferably, the inclination angle between the first inclined plane and the second inclined plane can be set to 10°, 20° or 30°, which can be set according to actual needs.

[0033] Furthermore, the first inclined surface 111 and the second inclined surface 211 are interference fit, and the interference is set to at least 0.1 mm, preferably 0.1 mm, and can also be set to 0.15 mm or 0.2 mm, and can be specifically set according to actual needs.

[0035] In some embodiments of the present application, the two ends of the welding portion 5 are respectively connected to the first overflow groove 3 and the second overflow groove 4. During laser welding, the overflow can flow into the first overflow groove 3 and the second overflow groove 4. After welding is completed, the outer horizontal heights of the first bottle body 1 and the second bottle body 2 are kept consistent, without the need for secondary processing, thereby reducing processing costs.

The specific range can be set according to actual needs.

[0037] In some embodiments of the present application, the first bottle body 1 is set as a light-transmitting layer, and the second bottle body 2 is set as a light-absorbing layer. The infrared transmittance of the light-transmitting layer is greater than 30%, and the light-absorbing layer is preferably set to black or dark color to ensure the light-absorbing effect during laser welding.

[0039] like Figure 5 As shown, the laser 6 is performing laser welding on the welding surface between the first bottle body 1 and the second bottle body 2, and the overflow of the first bottle body 1 and the second bottle body 2 after melting flows into the first overflow groove 3 and the second overflow groove 4, and a welding portion 5 is formed at the same time. This structure can make the first bottle body and the second bottle body welded in one step, reduce secondary processing, improve product production efficiency, and reduce production costs.

For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, and it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the embodiments of the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0041] The above description is only a detailed description of the preferred embodiments and principles of the present application.
