Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of high-pressure hydrogen valves, in particular to an electromagnetic control structure for a high-pressure bottle valve. Background Technique

[0002] The hydrogen bottle valve is a key component in the hydrogen supply system of fuel cells. Its main function is to intelligently control the high-pressure hydrogen in the gas storage cylinder, and it has multiple safety functions such as real-time temperature detection and feedback, automatic and manual pressure relief, etc. It is applicable to new energy fuel cell vehicles and has a relatively high usage frequency.

[0003] Its working principle is achieved through the on-off control of the solenoid valve: when the solenoid valve is powered on, the electromagnetic force overcomes the gas pressure, the reset spring force, and the friction force to open the pilot valve. As the gas in the pilot valve cavity flows out and the pressure drops, when the pressure in the gas cylinder and the pressure in the pilot valve cavity reach a preset pressure difference, the main valve is opened. After the solenoid valve is powered off, the pressure in the gas cylinder is equal to the pressure in the pilot valve cavity and the outlet pressure. At this time, the reset spring force overcomes the friction force to push the main valve and the pilot valve to the closed position.

[0004] To reduce the use of pipelines and pipe fittings, reduce the leakage risk, and make the hydrogen supply system structure more compact, usually the solenoid valve, manual stop valve, TPRD (temperature-type pressure relief device), temperature sensor, pressure sensor, relief valve, flow-limiting valve and other devices are integrated together. The assembly also has a filter and a pressure sensor interface built in.

[0005] Due to the relatively high working frequency of the solenoid valve, its failure rate is relatively high, and most of the existing bottle valves adopt an in-built structure, which is not convenient for maintenance and repair. Summary of the Invention

[0007] To solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides an electromagnetic control structure for a high-pressure bottle valve, including:

[0008] A valve seat, installed on the outer side wall of the shell of the gas cylinder. The shell is provided with a gas cylinder outlet. The valve seat includes a first accommodating cavity and a second accommodating cavity that are connected and communicated;

[0009] A static iron core assembly, installed in the first accommodating cavity;

[0010] A moving iron core assembly, movably installed in the first accommodating cavity and cooperating with the static iron core assembly;

The return spring is used to provide a force for the moving iron core to move away from the static iron core.

[0016] In an embodiment of the present utility model, a cap is threadedly connected to one end of the valve seat away from the housing. A first sealing ring in contact with the valve seat is arranged inside the cap.

[0017] In an embodiment of the present utility model, a sealing gasket is installed on the bottom wall of the inner hole of the moving iron core. The stopper abuts against the sealing gasket through the return spring. A sealing hole seat extends from the bottom wall of the inner hole of the moving iron core towards the main valve. One end of the main valve facing the moving iron core is provided with a sealing end that can be in sealing cooperation with the sealing hole seat and abut against the sealing gasket.

[0018] In an embodiment of the present utility model, the sealing hole seat and the sealing end are in sealing cooperation through a conical surface.

[0019] In an embodiment of the present utility model, a compression nut is further included. An installation cavity is provided on the outer side wall of the housing. The valve seat is pressed in the installation cavity through the compression nut.

[0020] In an embodiment of the present utility model, a second sealing ring is arranged between the valve seat and the bottom wall of the installation cavity.

[0021] In an embodiment of the present utility model, a spring energy storage ring that abuts against the inner wall of the second accommodation cavity is sleeved outside the main valve.

[0022] In an embodiment of the present utility model, a clamp for limiting the spring energy storage ring is sleeved outside the main valve.

[0023] The above technical solution of the present utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0044] Refer to Figure 1 As shown, an electromagnetic control structure for a high-pressure bottle valve of the present utility model includes:

[0045] A valve seat 1, installed on the outer side wall of the shell 5 of the gas cylinder. The shell 5 is provided with a gas cylinder outlet 51. The valve seat 1 includes a first accommodating cavity and a second accommodating cavity that are communicated with each other;

[0046] A static iron core assembly 2, installed in the first accommodating cavity;

[0047] A moving iron core assembly 3, movably installed in the first accommodating cavity and cooperating with the static iron core assembly 2;

[0048] The main valve 4 is movably installed in the second accommodation cavity. A pilot air hole 41 is provided through the main valve 4. The pilot air hole 41 includes a first end and a second end which are oppositely arranged. The end faces of the main valve 4 at the first end and the second end of the pilot air hole 41 can be hermetically engaged with the gas cylinder outlet 51 and the moving iron core assembly 3 respectively;

[0049] Wherein, the moving iron core assembly 3 can move along the first accommodation cavity to open or close the second end of the pilot air hole 41;

[0050] When the second end of the pilot air hole 41 is opened, the main valve 4 can move along the second accommodation cavity to open the gas cylinder outlet 51.

[0051] In one embodiment, the static iron core assembly 2 includes a static iron core 21 which is in interference fit with the first accommodation cavity and abuts against the bottom wall of the first accommodation cavity.

[0052] Specifically, the moving iron core assembly 3 includes a moving iron core 31, a stop block 32 installed in the inner hole of the moving iron core 31, and a return spring 33 which abuts against the stop block 32 and the static iron core 21 respectively. The return spring 33 is used to provide a force for the moving iron core 31 to move away from the static iron core 21.

[0053] In one embodiment, a cap 6 is threadedly connected to one end of the valve seat 1 away from the housing 5. A first sealing ring 8 which contacts the valve seat 1 is arranged inside the cap 6. The valve seat 1 adopts an integral stainless steel structure, with a compact structure, few leakage points and high strength.

[0054] In one embodiment, a sealing gasket 34 is installed on the bottom wall of the inner hole of the moving iron core 31. The stop block 32 abuts against the sealing gasket 34 through the return spring 33. A sealing hole seat 311 extending towards the main valve 4 is arranged on the bottom wall of the inner hole of the moving iron core 31. One end of the main valve 4 towards the moving iron core 31 (i.e., the end face of the main valve 4 at the first end of the pilot air hole 41) is provided with a sealing end 42 which can be hermetically engaged with the sealing hole seat 311 and abuts against the sealing gasket 34.

[0055] Specifically, the sealing gasket 34 is made of special plastic, is not easy to deform and has a high safety factor.

[0056] In one embodiment, the sealing hole seat 311 and the sealing end 42 are hermetically engaged through a conical surface. The end face of the main valve 4 at the second end of the pilot air hole 41 and the gas cylinder outlet 51 are in conical surface fit.

[0057] In one embodiment, a compression nut 7 is further included. An installation cavity is arranged on the outer side wall of the housing 5. The valve seat 1 is pressed in the installation cavity through the compression nut 7.

[0058] Specifically, a second sealing ring 9 is provided between the valve seat 1 and the bottom wall of the installation cavity.

[0059] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 a spring energy storage ring 43 that abuts against the inner wall of the second accommodation cavity is sleeved outside the main valve 4. By providing the spring energy storage ring 43, the frictional force during the movement of the main valve 4 can be reduced, and the response performance can be increased.

[0060] Specifically, a clamp 44 for limiting the spring energy storage ring 43 is sleeved outside the main valve 4.

[0061] The working principle is as follows: When the solenoid valve is energized, an electromagnetic force is generated. The electromagnetic force overcomes the air pressure, the spring force of the return spring 33, and the frictional force of the moving iron core 31 to open the pilot air hole 41 of the main valve 4. The gas in the inner cavity of the pilot air hole 41 of the main valve 4 flows out, and the pressure drops. When the air pressure generated by the pressure difference between the pressure in the gas cylinder and the pressure in the inner cavity of the pilot air hole 41 of the main valve 4 is greater than the frictional force generated by the main valve 4 due to the spring energy storage ring 43, the sealing surface between the main valve 4 and the housing 5 is separated until it is fully opened; when the solenoid valve is de-energized, at this time, the pressure in the gas cylinder is equal to the pressure in the inner cavity of the pilot air hole 41 of the main valve 4 and the outlet pressure. The spring force of the return spring 33 overcomes the frictional force of the moving iron core 31 and the frictional force of the spring energy storage ring 43, and pushes the main valve 4 to contact the sealing surface of the housing 5.

[0062] Finally, it should be noted that the above specific embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention can be modified or equivalently replaced without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
