[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides an integrated pressure reducing valve with the following beneficial effects:

[0020] In this integrated pressure reducing valve, when using the integrated pressure reducing valve, first install the pressure reducing valve body into the high-pressure hydrogen supply pipeline. It is the most important device before hydrogen enters the fuel cell. When working, 35 MPa high-pressure hydrogen is input from the air inlet, and passes through the first-level pressure reducing part to reduce the gas pressure by about 80%-90%. The gas then flows into the second-level part and continues to reduce the pressure to meet the use requirements of the fuel cell. When the system gas pressure fluctuates or the system is damaged, resulting in an increase in pressure, the pressure of the second-level pressure reducing part will increase accordingly. When the critical value of the pressure relief valve is reached, the pressure relief valve core opens, and the gas is discharged through the pressure relief valve to reduce the system pressure, ensure system safety, and protect the fuel cell. The first-level breathing port and the second-level breathing port are respectively installed in the first-level pressure reducing part and the second-level pressure reducing part. When the pressure reducing valve is working, the first-level pressure reducing part As the valve stem and the secondary valve stem move, the volume of the cavity between the two sealing surfaces of the valve stem combination will change accordingly, and the gas in the cavity will flow in and out. The first breathing port and the secondary breathing port are equipped with waterproof and breathable filtering devices to prevent impurities from contaminating the cavity and sealing components, which will cause the pressure reducing valve to fail. The pressure sensor is installed in the secondary pressure reducing part to monitor the gas pressure in the secondary pressure reducing part, and the signal is transmitted to the controller for the controller to grasp the gas parameters at any time and respond. The setting of the integrated pressure reducing valve makes the layout compact, the structure simple, and the weight lightweight, saving material and processing costs. The setting of the two-stage pressure reducing function makes the integrated pressure reducing valve stable in performance, simple in structure, and strong in durability. The setting of the pressure relief valve and the pressure sensor protects the safety of the hydrogen supply system and the safety of the fuel cell.

[0021] In the integrated pressure reducing valve, when using the integrated pressure reducing valve, first apply the sealing coating to the inner wall of the sealing sleeve, then install the sealing sleeve on the inner side of the sealing base and the sealing tube, and then install the sealing base and the sealing tube on the inner side of the pressure relief valve. When the system gas pressure fluctuates or the system is damaged, resulting in a pressure increase, the pressure of the secondary pressure reducing part increases accordingly. When the critical value of the pressure relief valve is reached, the pressure relief valve core opens, and the gas is discharged through the pressure relief valve to reduce the system pressure, ensure the system safety, and protect the fuel cell. When the pressure relief valve core is not opened, the sealing sleeve, sealing base, sealing tube and sealing coating on the inner side of the pressure relief valve will prevent gas leakage. By setting the sealing base, sealing tube, sealing sleeve and sealing coating, the sealing performance of the pressure relief valve is enhanced, so that the integrated pressure reducing valve can be better used.

[0033] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 8As shown, in order to make the integrated pressure reducing valve have stable performance, simple structure and strong durability, when using the integrated pressure reducing valve, the pressure reducing valve body 4 is first installed in the high-pressure hydrogen supply pipeline. It is the most important device before hydrogen enters the fuel cell. During operation, 35 MPa high-pressure hydrogen is input from the air inlet 2, and passes through the first-level pressure reducing part 17 to reduce the gas pressure by about 80%-90%. The gas then flows into the second-level part and continues to reduce the pressure to meet the use requirements of the fuel cell. When the system gas pressure fluctuates or the system is damaged, the pressure increases, and the pressure of the second-level pressure reducing part 16 increases accordingly. When the critical value of the pressure relief valve 1 is reached, the pressure relief valve 1 core opens, and the gas is discharged through the pressure relief valve 1 to reduce the system pressure, ensure system safety, and protect the fuel cell. The first-level breathing port 3 and the second-level breathing port 6 are respectively installed on the first-level pressure reducing part 17 and the second-level pressure reducing part 1 6.

The first breathing port and the second-level breathing port 6 are equipped with a waterproof and breathable filter device to prevent impurities from contaminating the cavity and sealing components, causing the pressure reducing valve to fail. The pressure sensor 5 is installed in the second-level pressure reducing part 16 to monitor the gas pressure of the second-level pressure reducing part 16, and the signal is transmitted to the controller for the controller to grasp the gas parameters at any time and make a response action. The setting of the integrated pressure reducing valve makes the layout compact, the structure simple, and the weight lightweight, saving material and processing costs. The setting of the two-stage pressure reducing function makes the integrated pressure reducing valve stable in performance, simple in structure, and strong in durability. The setting of the pressure relief valve 1 and the pressure sensor 5 protects the safety of the hydrogen supply system and the safety of the fuel cell.

The sealing base 8 and the sealing tube 10 are both made of rubber material, the sealing sleeve 9 is made of polyethylene material, and the sealing coating 7 is made of acrylic material. The sealing performance of the pressure relief valve 1 is enhanced by the arrangement of the sealing base 8, the sealing tube 10, the sealing sleeve 9 and the sealing coating 7.

When the system gas pressure fluctuates or the system is damaged, resulting in a pressure increase, the pressure of the secondary pressure reducing part 16 increases accordingly. When the critical value of the pressure relief valve 1 is reached, the pressure relief valve 1 core opens, and the gas is discharged through the pressure relief valve 1 to reduce the system pressure, ensure system safety, and protect the fuel cell. When the pressure relief valve 1 core is not opened, the sealing sleeve 9, sealing base 8, sealing tube 10 and sealing coating 7 on the inner side of the pressure relief valve 1 will prevent gas leakage. By setting the sealing base 8, sealing tube 10, sealing sleeve 9 and sealing coating 7, the sealing performance of the pressure relief valve 1 is enhanced, so that the integrated pressure reducing valve can be better used.

The setting of the internal threads and the external threads enhances the convenience of connecting the sealing sleeve 9 with the sealing base 8 and the sealing tube 10.

[0039] like Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, in order to enhance the convenience of connecting the sealing sleeve 9 with the sealing base 8 and the sealing tube 10, when using the integrated pressure reducing valve, the sealing sleeve 9 is first connected to the sealing base 8 and the internal thread on the inner wall of the sealing tube 10 through the external thread on the outer wall, so that the sealing sleeve 9 is installed on the inner side of the sealing base 8 and the sealing tube 10, and then the protrusions 11 on the outside of the sealing base 8 and the sealing tube 10 are inserted into the groove 12 on the inner side of the pressure relief valve 1, so that the sealing base 8 and the sealing tube 10 are installed on the inner side of the pressure relief valve 1.
