[0002] Solid-state hydrogen storage is a technology that converts hydrogen into solid hydride through special hydrogen storage materials. This technology has the advantages of low hydrogen storage pressure, high volume hydrogen storage density, and the ability to purify hydrogen. At the same time, its disadvantages are low mass hydrogen storage density and the need for heat exchange during hydrogen charging and discharging. The solid-state hydrogen storage tank is the most basic unit of the solid-state hydrogen storage device. During the production of the hydrogen storage tank, the interior of the hydrogen storage tank needs to be cleaned, and the inner wall of the hydrogen storage tank needs to be dried after cleaning.

At the same time, the absorbent cotton roller 206 is constantly moving on the inner wall of the hydrogen storage tank, which can wipe the moisture on the inner wall of the hydrogen storage tank and improve the drying efficiency of the hydrogen storage tank. When the inner wall of the hydrogen storage tank of a certain width is dried, the second cylinder 811 is turned on, so that the output end of the second cylinder 811 extends to push the limit clip 810 to move toward the hydrogen storage tank. Since the limit clip 810 is clamped on the outside of the fixing ring 809, the horizontal long tube 1 is pushed to move a certain distance into the hydrogen storage tank, which is convenient for comprehensive drying of the inner wall of the hydrogen storage tank.

[0030] During the rotation of the exhaust pipe 5, the fan blades 7 are driven to rotate, thereby driving the water vapor generated by heating in the hydrogen storage tank to be discharged through the exhaust hole 3 and the exhaust pipe 5, preventing the water vapor from re-adhering to the inner wall of the hydrogen storage tank after drying and re-liquefying, thereby improving the drying effect.
