[0017] See also Figure 1 , an embodiment of the utility model provides a technical solution: a natural gas proportional hydrogen blending device, provided with a natural gas inlet 1, the natural gas inlet 1 is connected to a natural gas pipeline 11, the natural gas pipeline 11 is provided with a gas mixing port 2, the natural gas pipeline 11 is further provided with a first regulating valve 3a between the natural gas inlet 1 and the gas mixing port 2; a hydrogen inlet 21 is further provided, the hydrogen inlet 21 is connected to a second regulating valve 3b, the second regulating valve 3b is connected to a proportional valve 4, the proportional valve 4 is connected to the gas mixing port 2, the first regulating valve 3a and the second regulating valve 3b are both provided with a pressure balancing gas inlet 31, the pressure balancing gas inlet 31 of the first regulating valve 3a and the pressure balancing gas inlet 31 of the second regulating valve 3b are respectively connected to both ends of a pressure regulating pipeline 5; the pressure regulating pipeline 5 is provided with a pressure regulating charging port 51, and the pressure regulating charging port 51 is connected to a charging device 6. It should be noted that: the inflation device 6 is inflated to the pressure-regulating inflation port 51, and enters the pressure-balancing air inlet 31 set by the first regulating valve 3a and the second regulating valve 3b respectively through the pressure-regulating pipeline 5, so that the outlet pressures of the first regulating valve 3a and the second regulating valve 3b are kept consistent; the working principle of the proportional valve 4 is based on the electronic control method to realize throttling control of the flow rate. It amplifies the power through the proportional amplifier through the command signal, and outputs current proportionally to the proportional electromagnet of the proportional valve 4. The proportional electromagnet outputs force and moves the position of the valve core proportionally. The position sensor monitors the valve core position, feeds back the command signal, and continuously adjusts the position to achieve precise control of the valve core position, thereby achieving precise proportional throttling control.

[0018] See also Figure 2, in this embodiment, the first regulating valve 3a and the second regulating valve 3b are provided with a main air chamber 32 and a balance air chamber 33. The balance air chamber 33 and the main air chamber 32 are separated by an elastic diaphragm 34, and the balance air chamber 33 and the main air chamber 32 are respectively located at the upper and lower ends of the elastic diaphragm 34. A valve seat 35, an air inlet 36, and an air outlet 37 are provided in the main air chamber 32. The middle part of the lower end of the elastic diaphragm 34 is fixedly connected with a valve core 38, and the valve core 38 is connected to the valve seat 35. A return spring 39 is also connected to the lower end of the elastic diaphragm 34. It should be specially noted that: the inflation device 6 respectively leads gas to the pressure balance air inlets 31 of the first regulating valve 3a and the second regulating valve 3b through the pressure regulating pipeline 5. Then, the pressures on the upper ends of the elastic diaphragms 34 of the first regulating valve 3a and the second regulating valve 3b are the same. The elastic diaphragm 34 compresses the return spring 39 and drives the valve core 38 to move towards the valve seat 35, and finally keeps the upper and lower parts of the elastic diaphragm 34 balanced. Then, the pressures of the main air chamber 32 and the balance air chamber 33 are the same, and the pressures of the air outlets 37 of the first regulating valve 3a and the second regulating valve 3b are the same.

[0019] Please refer to Figure 1 , in this embodiment, the inflation device 6 is provided with a gas buffer tank 61 and a tank inflation port 62. The pressure regulating inflation port 51 is connected to the side end of the gas buffer tank 61, and the tank inflation port 62 is connected to the upper end of the gas buffer tank 61. A first cut-off valve 7a is also provided between the tank inflation port 62 and the gas buffer tank 61. A second cut-off valve 7b and a first pressure gauge 8a are also provided on the gas buffer tank 61. It should be specially noted that: the working process of the gas buffer tank 61 is to fill or supplement gas into the gas buffer tank 61 through the tank inflation port 62. Usually, the gas filled is air or nitrogen. The first cut-off valve 7a sets a monitoring value P1. When the pressure in the gas buffer tank 61 is less than P1, the first cut-off valve 7a opens to supplement gas to the gas buffer tank 61. The second cut-off valve 7b sets a monitoring value P2 (P1 < P2). When the pressure value exceeds P2, the second cut-off valve 7b opens to discharge gas, and at the same time, the first cut-off valve 7a closes. In this way, the pressure in the gas buffer tank 61 is always maintained between P1 and P2, which not only avoids the failure of the pressure balance function of the first regulating valve 3a and the second regulating valve 3b due to too small pressure in the pressure regulating pipeline 5, but also avoids danger caused by too large pressure value in the gas buffer tank 61.

[0020] Please refer to Figure 1 , in this embodiment, the natural gas pipeline 11 forms a mixed gas pipeline 9 after converging through the gas mixing port 2. A measuring port 91 is provided on the mixed gas pipeline 9, and a second pressure gauge 8b is provided near the measuring port 91. It should be specially noted that: the measuring port 91 is convenient for detecting the gas mixing ratio, as a verification of the hydrogen blending effect or as a data reference for adjusting the proportional valve 4.

[0021] Working principle and usage process of the utility model: When in use, natural gas is introduced through the natural gas inlet 1, and hydrogen is introduced through the hydrogen inlet 21. The hydrogen converges with the natural gas at the gas mixing port 2 and enters the mixing gas pipeline 9 to form a mixed gas. Gas is filled into the gas buffer tank 61 through the tank body inflation port 62. The first cut-off valve 7a sets the monitoring value P1. When the pressure in the gas buffer tank 61 is less than P1, the first cut-off valve 7a opens to supplement gas to the gas buffer tank 61. The second cut-off valve 7b sets the monitoring value P2 (P1 < P2). When the pressure value exceeds P2, the second cut-off valve 7b opens to discharge gas, and at the same time, the first cut-off valve 7a closes. The gas in the gas buffer tank 61 enters the pressure regulating pipeline 5 through the pressure regulating inflation port 51 and finally enters the balance gas chambers 33 of the first regulating valve 3a and the second regulating valve 3b, making the pressure values at the outlet ports 37 of the first regulating valve 3a and the second regulating valve 3b the same. Then, through the precise throttling control of the hydrogen by the proportional valve 4, the natural gas and hydrogen are mixed efficiently and precisely.
