Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of hydrogen storage, and particularly to a 70 MPa hydrogen storage system controller. Background Technique

[0002] With the rapid development of clean energy technology, hydrogen energy, as an important part of the future energy system, its storage and utilization technologies have attracted increasing attention. In the field of hydrogen energy applications, high-pressure hydrogen storage systems, especially 70 megapascals (MPa) hydrogen storage systems, are regarded as ideal hydrogen storage solutions for long-distance transportation vehicles (such as heavy trucks, buses, etc.) due to their high energy density and significant storage efficiency. However, at present, there is still a lack of a mature control system for hydrogen storage systems at this high pressure level in China, and many technical problems need to be solved urgently.

[0003] I. Control Difficulties of High-Pressure-Resistant Bottle Neck Valves

[0004] The high-pressure-resistant bottle neck valve adopted by the 70 MPa hydrogen storage system requires a large amount of energy to open, and the coil power needs to reach 30 W to ensure the smooth opening of the valve. However, continuous power supply at this power will cause the coil temperature to be too high (exceeding 120 °C), which will damage the bottle neck valve. Therefore, an intelligent duty cycle control method needs to be designed, that is, the power is quickly reduced to 10 W after the valve is opened to maintain its open state, while avoiding abnormal closing of the valve caused by too low power. In addition, the problem of coil internal resistance change caused by temperature change also needs to be solved to ensure the accuracy and stability of control.

[0005] II. Application of Closed-Loop Control Strategy

[0006] Considering the inevitability of temperature change during the long-term operation of the bottle neck valve and its influence on the coil internal resistance, the hydrogen storage system controller needs to adopt a closed-loop control strategy. By real-time monitoring of the supply current and dynamically adjusting the duty cycle according to the current magnitude, precise control of power can be achieved to ensure the stable operation of the bottle neck valve.

[0007] III. Fault Diagnosis and Protection under Abnormal Conditions

[0008] During the vehicle operation, abnormal withdrawal of the wire harness connector pins may cause short circuit or open circuit of the bottle neck valve, seriously affecting the vehicle's cruising range. Therefore, the hydrogen storage system controller needs to have the ability to detect the voltage and current at both ends of the bottle neck valve, so as to timely detect and report open circuit or short circuit faults and remind the driver to carry out maintenance.

[0009] IV. Voltage Conversion and Stable Power Supply

[0010] In view of the fact that the vehicle low-voltage power system of heavy trucks, buses and other models is 24V, while the bottle valve requires a 12V power supply, a step-down DC-DC converter needs to be integrated inside the hydrogen storage system controller to achieve precise voltage conversion and stable power supply, ensuring the normal operation of the bottle valve.

[0011] V. Safety Monitoring and Communication during the Hydrogen Refueling Process

[0012] During the hydrogen refueling process, the temperature of the hydrogen gas inside the bottle will rise sharply. Therefore, it is necessary to detect the temperature of the hydrogen gas inside the gas cylinder in real time and report the temperature information to the hydrogen refueling station through the infrared communication module. The hydrogen refueling station dynamically adjusts the hydrogen refueling speed based on the received temperature data to ensure the safe and efficient hydrogen refueling process. In addition, to meet the independent wake-up requirements during the hydrogen refueling process, the hydrogen storage system controller needs to have a hydrogen refueling wake-up function isolated from the vehicle wake-up, support communication with the infrared communication module at the same time, and the communication content needs to comply with the SAE2799 hydrogen refueling protocol standard.

[0013] VI. Hydrogen Leak Detection and Alarm

[0014] In view of the high-pressure characteristics and potential safety risks of the 70MPa hydrogen storage system, a hydrogen concentration leak alarm needs to be used for real-time monitoring. Considering the diversity of the alarm output signals in the market (such as analog signals, 5VPWM signals, 12VPWM signals, etc.), the hydrogen storage system controller needs to have the ability to be compatible with various signal types, accurately detect the working state and alarm information of the alarm, and take timely measures to prevent safety accidents.

[0015] In summary, aiming at the problems faced by the 70MPa hydrogen storage system, this application aims to provide a hydrogen storage system controller that integrates multiple functions such as intelligent control of high-pressure-resistant bottle valves, closed-loop control strategies, abnormal condition diagnosis and protection, voltage conversion and stable power supply, safety monitoring and communication during the hydrogen refueling process, and hydrogen leak detection and alarm, so as to improve the safety, stability and reliability of the high-pressure hydrogen storage system.

[0071] Power conversion: The DCDC module converts the wide-range voltage (9 - 28V) provided by the vehicle into the required 5V and 12V voltages for the system, and supplies them to components such as sensors and the bottle valve respectively.

[0072] Data acquisition:

[0074] The I / O signal acquisition module real-time detects the hydrogen concentration in the environment of the hydrogen storage system through the hydrogen concentration sensor.

[0076] The main control unit receives data from the AD acquisition module and the I / O signal acquisition module, and processes and analyzes it.

[0077] The CAN communication module realizes the communication between the main control unit and external devices (such as internal devices of the stack system, debugging host computer, external vehicle signals).

[0079] The relay control module controls the on / off of the stack water pump relay, stack fan relay and main negative relay according to the instructions of the main control unit, and realizes the control of system components.

[0080] When an abnormal situation is detected, the controller controls the alarm to emit an audible and visual alarm signal.

[0081] Safety monitoring and protection:

[0083] The hydrogen concentration and the hydrogen temperature in the bottle are detected in real time, abnormal situations are reported in a timely manner, and corresponding measures are taken to prevent the occurrence of safety accidents.

[0084] Among them, Figures 2 - 3 This is the electrical connection schematic diagram of the 70 MPa hydrogen storage system controller provided by this embodiment, which is connected to four groups of hydrogen storage cylinders at the same time.

[0085] Workflow

[0086] System power-on: After the vehicle power supply is turned on, the DCDC module starts to work and converts the power supply into the 5V and 12V voltages required by the system.

[0087] Data acquisition and upload:

[0088] The AD acquisition module and the I / O signal acquisition module start to acquire various parameters of the hydrogen storage system and the hydrogen concentration, and upload the data to the main control unit in real time.

[0089] Data processing and decision-making: The main control unit receives the data, processes and analyzes it, and generates corresponding control instructions according to the preset control logic and algorithms.

[0090] Control output and communication:

[0091] The relay control module controls the on / off of system components according to the control instructions.

[0092] The CAN communication module transmits the control instructions and status information to external devices and receives the feedback signals from external devices.

[0093] Safety monitoring and alarm:

[0094] Monitor the supply current and temperature of the bottle neck valve in real time, and adjust the duty cycle through a closed-loop control strategy.

[0095] Detect the hydrogen concentration and the hydrogen temperature inside the bottle in real time. If any abnormal situation is found, promptly control the alarm to send out audible and visual alarm signals, and report to the driver or the relevant system.

[0096] Data storage and calibration: The EEPROM storage module continuously stores the calibration information and important data of the system to ensure that the data will not be lost after power failure, providing data support for system maintenance and fault diagnosis.

[0097] Among them, in the 70 MPa hydrogen storage system, the specific scheme of the duty cycle control method is to precisely control the power of the bottle neck valve to avoid overheating of the coil caused by too high power and abnormal closing caused by too low power.

[0098] The specific scheme of the duty cycle control method is as follows

[0099] Initial opening stage:

[0100] When it is necessary to open the bottle neck valve, the system first supplies power to the bottle neck valve coil at the maximum power (such as 30 W) to ensure that the valve can be quickly opened. This stage may last for a short time until the bottle neck valve reaches the fully open state.

[0101] Power reduction and duty cycle adjustment:

[0102] After the bottle neck valve is fully opened, the controller immediately reduces the supply power to the minimum power required to maintain the valve open (such as 10 W). However, since temperature changes will affect the internal resistance of the bottle neck valve coil, resulting in changes in power requirements, it is not possible to simply maintain a constant power.

[0103] The controller adopts a closed-loop control strategy. By detecting the supply current in real time, it dynamically adjusts the duty cycle according to the preset current range. The duty cycle refers to the proportion of the time when the switch is on in a complete cycle. By adjusting the duty cycle, the average supply power can be adjusted without changing the supply voltage, thereby maintaining the stable open state of the bottle neck valve.

[0104] Real-time detection and adjustment:

[0105] The controller continuously monitors the supply current and compares it with the preset current threshold. If the current is higher than the upper threshold, it indicates that the coil temperature is too high or the internal resistance has decreased. At this time, the controller should reduce the duty cycle to lower the average power and prevent the coil from overheating.

[0106] On the contrary, if the current is lower than the lower threshold value, it indicates that the power may be insufficient to maintain the opening of the bottle mouth valve. At this time, the controller should appropriately increase the duty cycle to increase the average power and prevent the abnormal closing of the bottle mouth valve.

[0107] Safety protection mechanism:

[0108] During the duty cycle control process, if an abnormal current is detected (such as a sudden increase or decrease), it may indicate a fault such as a short circuit or open circuit in the bottle mouth valve. At this time, the controller should immediately stop power supply and report the fault information to the vehicle system so that the driver can perform maintenance in a timely manner.

[0109] Communication and monitoring:

[0110] The controller maintains communication with the vehicle system through the CAN communication module, and uploads key parameters such as the working status, current, and voltage of the bottle mouth valve in real time, so that the vehicle system can comprehensively monitor the hydrogen storage system.

[0111] Through the specific scheme of the above duty cycle control method, the controller of the 70 MPa hydrogen storage system can achieve precise control of the bottle mouth valve, which not only ensures the rapid opening and stable operation of the bottle mouth valve, but also effectively avoids problems such as overheating of the coil and abnormal closing.

[0112] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and do not limit the implementation manners and protection scope of the present utility model. For those skilled in the art, it should be realized that all equivalent replacements and obvious changes made by using the description and illustration content of the present utility model should be included in the protection scope of the present utility model.
