Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of hydrogen fuel cells, and particularly to a hydrogen energy power supply system and a drone. Background Art

[0002] Most drones in the prior art are mainly powered by lithium batteries. However, lithium batteries have obvious short - comings such as low energy density, short endurance time, fast battery aging, and narrow applicable temperature range. As a result, during actual operations, lithium - battery drones need to return frequently for charging, seriously affecting the operation efficiency.

[0003] In recent years, with the development of hydrogen - energy related technologies, hydrogen - energy alternative solutions for drones have emerged. At present, most hydrogen - energy drones still use high - pressure hydrogen cylinders for hydrogen supply. However, high - pressure hydrogen cylinders occupy a large space and are not suitable for small drones with high space requirements. Small drones are highly sensitive to both volume and weight. Therefore, this application provides a hydrogen - energy power supply system with high energy density and compact structure to increase the endurance of drones. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the deficiencies of lithium batteries and high - pressure hydrogen cylinders in related technologies, this application provides a hydrogen - energy power supply system and a drone.

[0005] In a first aspect, a hydrogen - energy power supply system provided by this application adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] The hydrogen - energy power supply system is provided with at least one battery compartment and a supporting battery, and the center of gravity of the battery compartment and the supporting battery always remains on the axis of the hydrogen - energy power supply system; the hydrogen - energy power supply system is provided with two hydrogen fuel tanks and supporting solid - hydrogen fuel rods, and the hydrogen fuel tanks and the solid - hydrogen fuel rods are symmetrically arranged along the battery, keeping the center of gravity of the hydrogen - energy power supply system on the axis of the hydrogen - energy power supply system; the hydrogen - energy power supply system is provided with at least one hydrogen fuel cell stack, and the center of gravity of the hydrogen fuel cell stack always remains above the axis of the hydrogen - energy power supply system; the hydrogen fuel cell stack is located above the hydrogen fuel tank; the control module is located below the hydrogen fuel tank, and the center of gravity of the control module always remains below the axis of the hydrogen - energy power supply system.

[0008] Furthermore, a gas - path interface is provided at the center point of the bottom of the hydrogen fuel tank. The gas - path interface is connected to a hydrogen pipeline, and a hydrogen flow meter is provided on the hydrogen pipeline. The hydrogen flow meter is connected to the control module to monitor the hydrogen flow rate and the hydrogen release amount of the solid - hydrogen fuel rod during operation;

[0009] On both sides of the gas path interface, second connection contacts of the temperature sensor are symmetrically arranged. The first signal transmission line arranged on the second connection contacts of the temperature sensor passes through the cabin body to form an integrated interface and is connected to the control module;

[0010] An electric heating layer is arranged on the inner wall of the hydrogen fuel tank. The power supply line of the electric heating layer passes through the wall of the hydrogen fuel tank and is connected to the storage battery. During operation, the storage battery supplies power to the electric heating layer to heat the solid hydrogen fuel rod to release hydrogen. The heating power of the storage battery is adjusted by the control module according to the monitored operating parameters;

[0011] The outer shell material of the hydrogen fuel tank is set as heat-insulating plastic.

[0012] Further, a hydrogen outlet and a first connection contact of the temperature sensor are arranged at the center point of the front end of the solid hydrogen fuel rod. The hydrogen outlet and the first connection contact of the temperature sensor cooperate with the gas path interface at the bottom of the hydrogen fuel tank and the second connection contact of the temperature sensor; The inside of the solid hydrogen fuel rod is filled with a solid hydrogen material with a high hydrogen density. The first connection contact of the temperature sensor is connected to the first temperature sensor. The first temperature sensor is built into the solid hydrogen fuel rod and inserted into the solid hydrogen material with a high hydrogen density to monitor the temperature change of the material; A bursting disc or a safety valve is also arranged on the end cover of the solid hydrogen fuel rod.

[0013] Further, a battery socket is arranged at the bottom of the storage battery compartment. The second signal transmission line connected thereto passes through the storage battery compartment and is connected to the control module. The electric output line is connected to the port of the electric heating layer of the hydrogen fuel tank; A plug connector matching the battery socket at the bottom of the storage battery compartment is arranged at the front end of the storage battery. The size of the end cover of the storage battery is slightly larger than the hatch of the storage battery compartment, which is convenient for plugging and unplugging operations.

[0014] Further, the hydrogen fuel cell stack is set as an open cathode fuel cell stack. The hydrogen energy power supply system is also provided with a hydrogen gas flow channel and a heat dissipation and drainage fan. The heat dissipation and drainage fan draws air to the cathode of the bipolar plate and reacts with the hydrogen gas diffused to the anode of the bipolar plate through the hydrogen gas flow channel to generate electricity; While the heat dissipation and drainage fan conducts air diversion, it can dissipate heat from the fuel cell stack and purge the water vapor generated by the reaction. The remaining hydrogen gas after the reaction can be discharged from the outlet of the hydrogen gas flow channel; The inlet of the hydrogen gas flow channel is connected to the outlet of the hydrogen fuel tank through a hydrogen gas pipeline.

[0016] Further, the control module integrates a hydrogen fuel cell control module, a DC / DC conversion module, and a flight control module.

[0017] Further, after the hydrogen energy power supply system is started, the storage battery heats the electric heating layer on the inner wall of the hydrogen fuel tank. When the temperature reaches a certain level, the solid hydrogen fuel rod starts to release hydrogen. When the control module monitors that the pressure in the system accumulates to the requirement of the hydrogen fuel cell stack, the solenoid valve on the hydrogen pipeline is opened, and hydrogen enters the hydrogen fuel cell stack for power generation. The output power of the hydrogen fuel cell is the main power source for the operation of each component. The storage battery is used to accelerate the response of the power supply system to the power demand. When it is necessary to quickly increase the output power, it outputs electric energy together with the hydrogen fuel cell. When it is necessary to quickly reduce the power, it can absorb the excess power of the hydrogen fuel cell for self-charging. During operation, the storage battery receives instructions from the control module and adjusts the heating power of the solid hydrogen fuel rod in real time, thereby adjusting the hydrogen release rate of the high-hydrogen-density solid hydrogen material.

[0018] In a second aspect, a drone provided by the present application adopts the following technical solutions:

[0019] A drone, the drone includes the hydrogen energy power supply system.

[0020] Further, the drone includes: a cavity, a rotor, a rotor motor, and an arm. The hydrogen energy power supply system supplies power to the drone rotor. The rotor is connected to the flight control module integrated in the control module, and the flight state of the drone during flight is adjusted by combining the power regulation of the hydrogen energy power supply system. The hydrogen energy power supply system supplies power to the energy-consuming components equipped on the drone. Ventilation and heat dissipation holes are provided on the drone cavity to ensure that the hydrogen fuel cell stack is in a relatively open environment, so that air can smoothly enter the hydrogen fuel cell stack for reaction, and the gas after reaction can be discharged in time. Combined with the operation of the heat dissipation and drainage fan, the heat generated by the system can be dissipated in time. The axis of the hydrogen energy power supply system and the axis of the drone are located in the same vertical plane.

[0021] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

Carrying the same amount of energy, it is lighter and smaller in volume than lithium-ion batteries and high-pressure gas cylinders, or can carry more energy under the same weight or volume conditions, effectively enhancing the endurance of the power supply system.

[0023] 2. Thanks to the relatively high energy density of the power supply system, the hydrogen energy power supply system of the present application is structurally compact, small in volume, and light in weight.

The hydrogen energy power supply system according to claim 6, characterized in that: After the hydrogen energy power supply system is started, the battery (5) heats the inner wall electric heating layer of the hydrogen fuel compartment (1). When the temperature reaches a certain level, the solid hydrogen fuel rod (4) starts to release hydrogen. When the control module (3) monitors that the pressure in the system accumulates to the requirement of the hydrogen fuel cell stack (2), the solenoid valve (9) on the hydrogen gas pipeline (11) is opened, and hydrogen gas enters the hydrogen fuel cell stack (2) to generate electricity. The electric energy output by the hydrogen fuel cell is the main power source for the operation of each component. The battery (5) is used to accelerate the response of the power supply system to the power demand. When it is necessary to quickly increase the output power, it outputs electric energy together with the hydrogen fuel cell. When it is necessary to quickly reduce the power, it can absorb the excess power of the hydrogen fuel cell for self-charging. During the operation, the battery (5) receives the instructions from the control module (3) and adjusts the heating power of the solid hydrogen fuel rod (4) in real time, thereby adjusting the hydrogen release rate of the high-hydrogen-density solid hydrogen material.

8. A drone, characterized in that: The unmanned aerial vehicle includes the hydrogen energy power supply system according to any one of claims 1-7.

9. The drone according to claim 8, characterized in that: The drone includes: a cavity (27), a rotor (24), a rotor motor (25), and an arm (28). The hydrogen energy power supply system powers the rotor (24) of the drone. The rotor (24) is connected to a flight control module integrated in the control module (3). By combining the power regulation of the hydrogen energy power supply system, the flight state of the drone is adjusted during flight. The hydrogen energy power supply system powers the energy-consuming components equipped on the drone. Ventilation and heat dissipation holes (26) are provided on the drone cavity (27) to ensure that the hydrogen fuel cell stack (2) is in a relatively open environment, enabling air to smoothly enter the hydrogen fuel cell stack (2) for reaction and the reacted gas to be discharged in a timely manner. By combining the operation of the heat dissipation and drainage fan (6), the heat generated by the system can be dissipated in a timely manner. The axis of the hydrogen energy power supply system and the axis of the drone are located in the same vertical plane.
