Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of winding of the inner liner of type-IV hydrogen storage cylinders, and particularly relates to a rotary joint structure for winding the inner liner of a type-IV hydrogen storage cylinder. Background Technique
[0002] Hydrogen storage technology is a key technology in the development of hydrogen energy. The plastic of type-IV hydrogen storage cylinders has become a research hotspot around the world due to its light weight and fatigue resistance. During the winding process of type-IV cylinders, the tension of the fibers will cause the plastic inner liner to buckle and collapse, affecting the winding and performance of the inner liner. Therefore, it is necessary to pressurize the inside of the plastic inner liner to eliminate the problem of inner liner buckling and collapse.
[0003] In order not to affect the synchronous progress of winding and inflation of the inner liner of the type-IV hydrogen storage cylinder, a rotary joint structure needs to be set at the joint of the inner liner of the type-IV hydrogen storage cylinder without affecting the inflation effect. Therefore, we propose a rotary joint structure for winding the inner liner of a type-IV hydrogen storage cylinder. Content of the Utility Model
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a rotary joint structure for winding the inner liner of a type-IV hydrogen storage cylinder to solve the problems put forward in the above background technique.
[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solution: A rotary joint structure for winding the inner liner of a type-IV hydrogen storage cylinder. The rotary joint structure is installed on the winding shaft at one end of the inner liner of the type-IV hydrogen storage cylinder and includes a joint main body and a joint housing. The joint housing is sleeved on the joint main body. Bearings are arranged at the connection parts at both ends of the joint main body and the joint housing. The joint main body and the joint housing perform relative rotational movement through the bearings.
[0006] An L-shaped air hole is opened in the joint main body. The joint main body is connected and communicated with the winding shaft. An inflation hole communicated with the L-shaped air hole is opened on the joint housing. The inflation hole is externally connected to a high-pressure inflation pipeline.
[0007] Preferably, flange plates are arranged at the opposite ends of the joint main body and the winding shaft. The two flange plates are locked and connected by bolts and nuts, and are hermetically connected by a gasket between the two flange plates.
[0008] Preferably, a ventilation hole is opened in the winding shaft, and the ventilation hole is communicated with the L-shaped air hole.
[0009] Preferably, a plurality of sealing rings are arranged at the connection part of the joint main body and the joint housing, and the plurality of sealing rings are distributed outside the L-shaped air hole.

[0012] The present utility model is provided with a joint body, a joint housing, a bearing, an L-shaped air hole and an inflation hole. During use, the inflation hole is externally connected to a high-pressure inflation pipeline. The high-pressure inflation pipeline starts to inflate through the inflation hole. The high-pressure gas enters the L-shaped air hole through the inflation hole, and then enters the inner liner of the type-IV hydrogen storage bottle through the ventilation hole on the winding shaft, realizing the inflation of the inner liner of the type-IV hydrogen storage bottle. And during the inflation process, the winding and rotation of the inner liner of the type-IV hydrogen storage bottle can be realized.
