[0029] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the hydrogen filling pile provided by the embodiment of the present utility model includes: a first gas path system 100, a second gas path system 200, and a structural frame 300; the first gas path system 100 and the second gas path system 200 are respectively installed on the structural frame 300, and the first gas path system 100 and the second gas path system 200 are respectively provided with independent filling control valves; the first gas path system 100 and the second gas path system 200 are fluidly connected through a standby gas path, and a gas path switching valve is installed on the standby gas path.

[0030] Among them, the filling control valve may include manual valves respectively installed on the first gas path system 100 and the second gas path system 200. Moreover, the first gas path system 100 and the second gas path system 200 may respectively install manual valves on the intake side and the filling side, so as to realize the independent control of the two gas paths and the on-off control of the intake and exhaust of a single gas path, improving the control flexibility and being more convenient for maintenance and repair. When only one gas path is used for filling, one of the first gas path system 100 and the second gas path system 200 can be selected for hydrogen filling, and the other is used as a standby; when one of the first gas path system 100 and the second gas path system 200 fails, the hydrogen of the other gas path system can be introduced through the connection function of the standby gas path, so as to ensure that the hydrogen filling can continue, improving the reliability of the hydrogen filling pile.

[0031] In the embodiment of the present utility model, the hydrogen filling pile further includes an explosion-proof monitoring system 400. The explosion-proof monitoring system 400 is located between the first gas path system 100 and the second gas path system 200, and the first gas path system 100 and the second gas path system 200 are respectively in fluid communication with the explosion-proof monitoring system 400.

[0032] In this embodiment, the explosion-proof monitoring system 400 is located in the central area inside the structural frame 300. Thus, the pipelines connecting the first gas path system 100 and the second gas path system 200 to the structural frame 300 are easier to layout. In addition, the location of the explosion-proof monitoring system 400 is easy to repair and maintain, and the connection of the explosion-proof flexible pipes around it is also easy to implement.

[0033] It should be noted that the explosion-proof monitoring system 400 can integrate various devices such as hydrogen leakage sensors, temperature sensors, and pressure sensors, and the controller controls the working state of the hydrogen filling pile according to the signals of various sensors, thereby improving the operation safety of the equipment.

[0034] In this embodiment, the structural frame 300 is provided with an openable and closable inspection door 310. The inspection door 310 is used to shield the first gas path system 100, the second gas path system 200, and the explosion-proof monitoring system 400. Among them, the four sides of the structural frame 300 are enclosed by sheet metal devices, and door openings are respectively provided at the front and back, and the inspection door 310 is installed. The internal devices can be maintained and repaired in the state of opening the inspection door 310.

[0035] The first gas path system 100 and the second gas path system 200 respectively include: a hydrogen input pipeline 101, a filling pipeline 102, and an infusion device connected between the hydrogen input pipeline 101 and the filling pipeline 102. Among them, the infusion device can include a flow control valve, a pressure regulating valve, a pressure pump, etc., to ensure that the hydrogen supplied from the hydrogen input pipeline 101 is filled through the filling pipeline 102 at a relatively stable flow rate.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment, one of the two filling pipelines 102 is led out from one side of the structural frame 300, and the other is led out from the opposite side of the structural frame 300. The two filling pipelines 102 can be non-interfering and can also fill hydrogen for two hydrogen-filled devices at the same time, thereby improving the hydrogen filling efficiency.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, both the first gas path system 100 and the second gas path system 200 are connected to a discharge circuit 500 and a purge circuit 600; the back side bottom of the structural frame 300 is connected with a gas path panel 700, and the hydrogen input pipeline 101, the discharge circuit 500, and the purge circuit 600 are all led out from the gas path panel 700, thereby realizing the centralization of the pipeline interface positions, being easier to layout, and having a neater appearance.

[0038] In addition, the hydrogen filling pile further includes a pressure guiding control system, which includes a pressure regulating filter, a detection instrument, and an instrument air access pipeline 800 connecting the detection instrument; the pressure regulating filter is arranged adjacent to the front of the structural frame 300, and the instrument air access pipeline 800 is led out through the air path panel 700.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment, the relief circuit 500 is configured with a safety valve, which is used to control the on-off state of the first gas path system 100 and the second gas path system 200 relative to the hydrogen source. When the filling air pressure exceeds the limit value, hydrogen can be discharged to the hydrogen source, so as to ensure that the internal air pressure of the first gas path system 100 and the second gas path system 200 is in a safe state.

[0040] Furthermore, the purge circuit 600 is in fluid communication with the filling pipeline 102, and the purge circuit 600 is used to introduce an inert gas into the filling pipeline 102 to exhaust hydrogen, which can avoid the leakage of hydrogen and improve the safety of hydrogen filling.

[0041] Furthermore, the first gas path system 100 and the second gas path system 200 are respectively configured with flow meters, which can respectively monitor the hydrogen filling amounts of the first gas path system 100 and the second gas path system 200, so that users can accurately know the hydrogen filling flow rate.

[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
