Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of alkaline water electrolysis hydrogen production equipment, in particular to a sealing structure of an alkaline water electrolysis cell. Background Art

[0002] With the development of the hydrogen energy industry in recent years, the country has designated the hydrogen energy industry as a national strategic emerging industry to promote the national 30.60 strategy and the transformation of the national energy structure.

[0003] In the hydrogen production industry, there are currently four hydrogen production routes: alkaline water electrolysis, proton exchange membrane water electrolysis, anion exchange membrane hydrogen production, and solid oxide water electrolysis. Alkaline water electrolysis is widely used due to its low cost and relatively mature technology.

[0004] Alkaline water electrolysis hydrogen production equipment mainly includes alkaline water electrolyzer, gas-liquid separation device, purification and drying device, hydrogen production power supply, control system, etc. The current industry application is mainly based on 1000Nm3 / h alkaline water electrolyzer. The core components mainly include plates, diaphragms, sealing gaskets, electrodes, etc. The various small chambers composed of electrodes and sealing gaskets are squeezed and tightened by the cooperation of fasteners such as tightening bolts and nuts.

[0005] During the application of alkaline water electrolyzers, the sealing gaskets and the plates do not fit properly, resulting in leakage in the alkaline water electrolyzers, causing short circuits, discharges, and corrosion in the alkaline water electrolyzers, posing a safety hazard. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the sealing problem of the alkaline water electrolytic cell and enhance the sealing performance of the sealing gasket, so as to solve the defects of the current electrolytic cell such as leakage of the electrolytic cell caused by poor sealing performance.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides a sealing structure of an alkaline water electrolyzer, including an end pressure plate, a pole plate, a sealing gasket, a tightening bolt and a nut. The outer side of the pole plate is a serrated concave structure with an inward concave cross-section. The sealing gasket is provided with a convex structure. The convex structure of the sealing gasket corresponds to the concave structure of the pole plate. The end pressure plate is a solid circular plate, and the pole plate is a solid circular ring. The sealing gasket is in the shape of a circular ring and is fitted with the pole plate on the outer side of the pole plate through the concave structure and the convex structure. The tightening bolt cooperates with the nut and squeezes and tightens each small chamber composed of the pole plate and the sealing gasket through the two end pressure plates.

[0008] Furthermore, the plate material is Q235B.

[0009] Furthermore, the sealing gasket is made of modified polytetrafluoroethylene.

[0010] Furthermore, the protruding structure of the sealing gasket is in an arc shape and is sealed and fitted with the concave structure of the sealing waterline of the electrode plate to prevent leakage.

[0011] Furthermore, the arc radius of the protruding structure of the sealing gasket is 0.7 mm.

[0012] Furthermore, the thickness of the electrode plate is 10 mm.

[0013] Furthermore, the curvature of the protruding structure is 45 degrees.

[0014] At present, the sealing gasket of the alkaline electrolytic cell adopts the traditional gasket form with a smooth surface. During the manufacturing and operation of the electrolytic cell equipment, the sealing performance is reduced and the cell body is prone to leakage. Through the innovation of the new structure, the leakage problem of the electrolytic cell during the assembly and operation process can be solved, and the short circuit or discharge of the electrolytic cell caused by cell body leakage can be avoided.

The sealing gasket 3 is in the shape of a circular ring and is fitted with the pole plate 4 on the outer side of the pole plate through the concave structure and the convex structure. The tightening bolt 1 cooperates with the nut 2 and squeezes and tightens each small chamber composed of the pole plate 4 and the sealing gasket 3 through the two end pressure plates 5.
