Therefore, it cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.
[0016] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings: Figure 1-2 As shown, a piston force variable working condition energy-saving hydrogen-rich compressor mainly consists of a fuselage 23, a crankshaft 22, a connecting rod 21, a middle body 20, a crosshead 19, a connecting sleeve 16, an oil scraper 18, an intermediate filler 17, a cylinder filler 15, a cylinder 12, a piston 14, a stepless gas volume adjustment device 13, an oil station 3, a coupling 9, a main motor 10, an air intake filter 4, an air intake buffer 8, an exhaust buffer 7, a gas-liquid separator 1, a cooler 5, an Expo nitrogen filling device 2, and an oiler 11. The crankshaft 22 is installed on the main bearing of the fuselage 23, and the crank on the crankshaft is connected to the big end of the connecting rod 21 with bolts. The small end of the connecting rod 21 is connected to the crosshead 19 through a crosshead pin. The crosshead 19 is installed in the slideway of the middle body 20. When the crankshaft rotates, it drives the connecting rod to make the crosshead perform reciprocating linear motion in the slideway.
[0017] The engine frame of this invention is a "U"-shaped, cast iron frame with densely reinforced ribs inside. A frame spacer and hydraulically tightened tie rods are used above each main bearing to enhance rigidity and prevent deformation. The crankshaft is a high-tensile-strength alloy steel forging. All main journals and crankshaft necks are precision-ground and polished. A single main bearing is located between each crankshaft, and two main bearings are located at the drive end to minimize deflection, stress, and bearing loads. The connecting rod is die-forged steel with a rifled bore and a bronze bushing in the small end hole. The connecting rod body and connecting rod cap are matched and marked to facilitate repeatable alignment. The crosshead is cast from ductile iron and consists of a perforated flange fastened to the piston rod and a necked stud that screws into the crosshead. A dedicated tension nut is hydraulically tightened. Adjustment shims are included on the crosshead to set the cylinder end clearance.
[0018] The middle body 20 is connected to the fuselage 23 and the connecting sleeve 16 respectively through studs and sealed with O-rings. The oil scraper 18 and the intermediate filler 17 are installed on the connecting sleeve 16. The oil scraper scrapes the lubricating oil on the piston rod to prevent the lubricating oil from being brought into the cylinder with the piston rod. The intermediate filler 17 is arranged between the double chambers of the connecting sleeve and is filled with nitrogen of appropriate pressure through the Expo nitrogen filling device 2. The cylinder 12 is connected to one end of the connecting sleeve 16, and a cylinder filler 15 is installed on the crankshaft side thereof. The piston rod passes through the cylinder filler 15, the intermediate filler 17, the oil scraper 18 and the crosshead 19.

The actual compressed gas volume of each compression stroke is adjusted by controlling the intake valve, and the exhaust volume is steplessly adjusted within the range of 0-100% without energy loss.
[0019] The center body of this utility model is cast from gray cast iron and mounted to the machine body with studs and sealed with O-rings. A mating screw facilitates on-site alignment. The oil scraper includes a scraper ring and a sealing ring. The scraper ring prevents oil from the machine body from drifting along the piston rod and entering the cylinder, while the sealing ring prevents process gas from entering the machine body. The coupling is a double-chamber D-shaped coupling cast from gray cast iron. A large sealing window allows easy inspection of the packing and maintenance. The cylinder is cast from ductile iron, employing an oil-free design, low-oil lubrication, and desalted water cooling. A flanged cylinder liner is installed within the cylinder. The cylinder liner is secured by the clamping force of the cylinder head and prevents rotation during machine operation. The piston comprises a piston body, piston rod, piston rings, and support rings. The piston body is made of cast aluminum and ductile iron, while the piston rod is forged from alloy steel and subjected to high-frequency hardening. The piston rings and support rings are notched and extruded from carbon fiber-filled polytetrafluoroethylene. The main motor is the power source for driving the compressor. It is explosion-proof. The main shaft is made of forged steel and has undergone stress relief and heat treatment. The flange bolts at the shaft extension end are hydraulically tightened to connect with the compressor flywheel and crankshaft.
[0020] The oiler 11 is installed on the fuselage cover plate near the oil pump side. By manually adjusting the flow rate, an appropriate amount of lubricating oil is injected into the cylinder and cylinder filler to increase the service life of the seal. The oiler 11 is connected to the oil station 3.
[0021] The hydrogen-rich gas passes through the air intake filter 4 and the air intake buffer 8 and enters the first-stage cylinder of the compressor for compression. A buffer 7 is provided at the inlet and outlet of each cylinder. After the gas comes out of the exhaust buffer 7, it enters the cooler 5 for cooling, and then passes through the gas-liquid separator 1 to precipitate free water, and then enters the next-stage cylinder for compression, and finally is discharged from the third stage into the user pipeline network.
[0022] The compressor body 23, main motor 10, stepless air volume adjustment device 13, Expo nitrogen filling device 2, oiler 11, and intake buffer 8 are arranged on the second-floor operating platform 24. The supporting exhaust buffer 7, cooler 5, separator 1, and oil station 3 are located on the first floor. The body has a total of seven main bearings.
[0023] The oiler in the utility model includes conventional technologies such as an electric motor, an oil injection pump, an oil tank, a liquid level gauge, valves and instruments to provide oil lubrication for the compressor cylinder and cylinder packing. The oil injection amount at each oil injection point can be manually adjusted to increase the service life of the piston ring and cylinder packing ring.
[0024] The operating platform is made of steel plates and steel beams and is set around the concrete foundation of the compressor. The compressor body, main motor, stepless air volume adjustment device, Expo nitrogen filling device, oiler and air intake buffer are arranged on the second-floor operating platform, and the supporting exhaust buffer, cooler, separator and oil station are set on the first floor.
