Abstract
Description
Technical field:
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ionic liquid cylinders, in particular to a compression cylinder with an external buffer container for ionic liquid leakage. Background technology:
[0002] Currently, ion liquid-sealed compression cylinders are a new type of equipment used to boost gas pressure in hydrogen refueling stations. Patent application CN116044712A discloses an ionic liquid compressor that injects ionic liquid into the compression chamber of the cylinder to cool and lubricate the piston and improve the seal between the piston and cylinder. However, in actual operation, due to the high gas pressure within the compression chamber, the ionic liquid in the compression chamber inevitably leaks outward from between the piston and cylinder over long periods of operation. This lack of ionic liquid can lead to a series of problems, including dry grinding between the piston and cylinder, increased gas temperature, and decreased gas pressure. This requires timely detection and replenishment of new ionic liquid, but there is currently no effective solution.
[0003] In summary, the problem of leakage detection and timely replenishment of ionic liquid in ionic liquid cylinders has become a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently in the industry. Utility model content:
[0004] In order to make up for the deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model provides a compression cylinder with an external buffer container for ionic liquid leakage, which solves the problems of dry grinding between the piston and the cylinder, increased gas temperature and reduced gas pressure caused by the lack of ionic liquid in the past.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the above technical problems is:
[0006] A compression cylinder with an external buffer container for ionic liquid leakage comprises a cylinder body, a front end cover and a rear end cover are provided at both ends of the cylinder body, an intake valve and an exhaust valve are provided on the front end cover, a piston is provided in the cylinder body, a gas compression chamber is formed between the piston and the front end cover, an ionic liquid is provided on the top of the piston, and the ionic liquid is used to cool, lubricate and seal the piston and the cylinder body, an isolation chamber is provided between the piston and the cylinder body, and a plurality of sealing rings are provided between the piston and the cylinder body on the upper and lower sides of the isolation chamber for sealing, a pressure sensor is provided on the cylinder body on the side of the isolation chamber, and the bottom of the isolation chamber is connected to the buffer container provided on the outside of the cylinder body through an ionic liquid pipeline.
[0007] An ionic liquid inlet is provided on a side wall of the cylinder body on one side of the gas compression chamber.
[0008] The pressure sensor is used to detect the pressure signal in the isolation cavity and send it to the controller.
[0009] The cavity between the piston and the rear end cover is a hydraulic cavity, which is used to drive the piston to move up and down. The rear end cover is provided with a hydraulic oil inlet and outlet.
[0010] A plurality of guide rings are arranged between the piston and the cylinder body.
[0011] The buffer container is made of transparent material.
[0012] The utility model adopts the above solution and has the following advantages:
[0013] An isolation chamber is provided between the piston and the cylinder body, and the bottom of the isolation chamber is connected to the buffer container provided on the outside of the cylinder body through an ion liquid pipeline. When the ion liquid in the gas compression chamber leaks, it will leak into the isolation chamber, causing the pressure in the isolation chamber to increase. The ion liquid in the isolation chamber will enter the buffer container through the ion liquid pipeline for temporary storage. When the piston moves upward, the pressure in the isolation chamber decreases, and the ion liquid in the buffer container will return to the isolation chamber through the ion liquid pipeline to supplement the pressure. The ion liquid in the isolation chamber can lubricate and cool the piston and the cylinder body. A pressure sensor is provided on the cylinder body on the side of the isolation chamber. The pressure sensor is used to detect the pressure signal in the isolation chamber and send it to the controller. When the pressure sensor detects that the pressure in the isolation chamber is abnormal, it feeds back the signal to the controller, and the staff can shut down the machine for maintenance in time to ensure the safety of the equipment.

Specific implementation method:
[0016] In order to clearly illustrate the technical features of this solution, the present invention is described in detail below through specific implementation methods and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0017] like Figure 1As shown, a compression cylinder with an external buffer container for ionic liquid leakage comprises a cylinder body 1, a front end cover 2 and a rear end cover 3 are provided at both ends of the cylinder body 1, an intake valve 4 and an exhaust valve 5 are provided on the front end cover 2, a piston 6 is provided in the cylinder body 1, a gas compression chamber 7 is provided between the piston 6 and the front end cover 2, an ionic liquid 8 is provided on the top of the piston 6, and the ionic liquid 8 is used to cool, lubricate and seal the piston 6 and the cylinder body 1, an isolation chamber 9 is provided between the piston 6 and the cylinder body 1, and several sealing rings 10 are respectively provided between the piston 6 and the cylinder body 1 on the upper and lower sides of the isolation chamber 9 for sealing to ensure the airtightness of the isolation chamber 9, a pressure sensor 11 is provided on the cylinder body 1 on the side of the isolation chamber 9, and the bottom of the isolation chamber 9 is connected to a buffer container 13 provided on the outside of the cylinder body 1 through an ionic liquid pipeline 12.
[0018] An ionic liquid inlet 14 is provided on the side wall of the cylinder body 1 on one side of the gas compression chamber 7 , through which ionic liquid can be replenished into the gas compression chamber 7 .
[0019] The pressure sensor 11 is used to detect the pressure signal in the isolation chamber 9 and send it to the controller. When the pressure sensor detects that the pressure in the isolation chamber 9 is abnormal, it feeds back the signal to the controller, and the controller sends an alarm signal. The staff can stop the machine for maintenance in time to ensure the safety of the equipment.
[0020] The cavity between the piston 6 and the rear end cover 3 is a hydraulic cavity 15, which is used to drive the piston 6 to move up and down. The rear end cover 3 is provided with a hydraulic oil inlet and outlet 16 to realize hydraulic drive of the piston 6.
[0021] A plurality of guide rings 17 are provided between the piston 6 and the cylinder body 1 to play a guiding role.
[0022] The buffer container 13 is made of a transparent material, and the liquid level of the ionic liquid in the buffer container 13 can be observed from the outside.
[0023] Working principle:
[0024] During operation, hydraulic oil enters and exits the hydraulic chamber 15 through the hydraulic oil inlet and outlet 16, hydraulically driving the piston 6 and causing it to move up and down. When the piston 6 moves downward, gas enters the gas compression chamber 7 through the intake valve 4. When the piston 6 moves upward, the gas in the gas compression chamber 7 is compressed and pressurized, and then discharged outward through the exhaust valve 5, thereby increasing the gas pressure. During the pressurization process, the gas in the gas compression chamber 7 may leak into the isolation chamber 9 when the ionic liquid in the gas compression chamber 7 leaks, causing the pressure in the isolation chamber 9 to increase. The ionic liquid in the isolation chamber 9 will then enter the buffer container 13 through the ionic liquid pipeline 12 for temporary storage. When the piston 6 moves upward, the pressure in the isolation chamber 9 decreases, and the ionic liquid in the buffer container 13 will return to the isolation chamber 9 through the ionic liquid pipeline 12, playing a role in replenishing the pressure. The ionic liquid in the isolation chamber 9 also lubricates and cools the space between the piston 6 and the cylinder body 1. When the pressure sensor 11 detects an abnormal pressure in the isolation chamber 9, it feeds back a signal to the controller, which issues an alarm signal, reminding the staff to shut down the machine for timely maintenance to ensure equipment safety.
[0025] The above specific implementation methods cannot be used as a limitation on the protection scope of the present utility model. For those skilled in the art, any replacement, improvement or transformation made to the implementation methods of the present utility model falls within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0026] Anything not described in detail in the present invention is well known to those skilled in the art.
