Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of water electrolysis hydrogen production equipment, in particular to a distance measurement and monitoring system for a water electrolysis hydrogen production device. Background Art
[0002] A water electrolysis hydrogen production device is a device that decomposes water into hydrogen and oxygen. Its core component is the electrolyzer. Within the electrolyzer, water molecules are decomposed into hydrogen and oxygen under the action of electrical energy. A filter-press water electrolyzer is a specialized water electrolysis device that uses filter-press technology to achieve efficient water electrolysis. This design effectively improves the separation efficiency of hydrogen and oxygen, reduces the risk of gas mixing, and contributes to improved energy efficiency of the overall system. Its structure consists of several stacked electrolyzer chambers. These chambers are the core unit of a filter-press water electrolyzer, each serving as an independent electrolysis reaction space responsible for decomposing water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen. Its structural components include an anode plate, a cathode plate, a diaphragm, an electrolyte, and a gas collection channel. The anode plate, typically made of corrosion-resistant materials such as titanium, nickel, or a catalyst-coated titanium mesh, serves as the positive electrode, where the oxidation reaction occurs, with water molecules losing electrons to produce oxygen. The cathode plate is also made of corrosion-resistant materials such as titanium, nickel, or a catalyst-coated titanium mesh. It serves as the negative electrode, where a reduction reaction occurs, with water molecules gaining electrons to generate hydrogen. Commonly used diaphragms include ion exchange membranes, porous ceramics, or microporous plastic membranes. Located between the anode and cathode plates, the diaphragm allows ions in the water to pass through but prevents hydrogen and oxygen from mixing, ensuring gas separation. Common electrolytes include alkaline solutions (such as KOH or NaOH) and acidic solutions (such as sulfuric acid). They provide the ions required for electrolysis, reducing resistance and improving electrolysis efficiency. Gas collection channels are dedicated gas collection channels located on the anode and cathode plates to guide the generated hydrogen and oxygen out of the chamber. These channels ensure smooth gas discharge, prevent gas accumulation within the chamber, and enhance safety.
[0003] As shown in a filter press alkaline water electrolyzer disclosed in application number: CN202321594795.4, it includes a left-end pressure plate and a right-end pressure plate, an intermediate plate is provided between the left-end pressure plate and the right-end pressure plate, a left-end pole frame and several left pole frames are provided between the left side of the intermediate plate and the left-end pressure plate, a sealing gasket and a diaphragm are provided between two adjacent left pole frames, several right pole frames and a right-end pole frame are provided between the right side of the intermediate plate and the right-end pressure plate, a sealing gasket and a diaphragm are provided between two adjacent right pole frames, the left-end pressure plate, the intermediate plate and the right-end pressure plate are tightened by multiple long bolts to form the electrolyzer body, one end of the long bolt is provided with a disc spring assembly, and the other end is provided with a constant pressure hydraulic compensation system.
[0004] In summary, filter-press water electrolyzers are prone to the following problems during operation. During operation, the large number of stacked electrolysis chambers makes the cell longer. The electrolysis reaction releases heat, causing the internal cell temperature to rise. This temperature change not only affects electrolysis efficiency and gas production, but also causes structural changes in the cell, particularly axial length expansion and contraction.
[0005] Temperature fluctuations affect the materials used in electrolytic cell equipment. Different materials have different thermal expansion coefficients. Common electrolytic cell materials, such as titanium, stainless steel, and ceramics, each have their own thermal expansion coefficients. Specifically, the linear expansion coefficient of titanium is approximately 8.6×10^-6 / °C, while that of stainless steel is approximately 17×10^-6 / °C. When the electrolytic cell temperature rises, the material expands axially; when the temperature drops, the material contracts. Axial expansion and contraction significantly impact the sealing performance, electrode spacing, and diaphragm performance of the electrolytic cell. Axial expansion and contraction can cause stress changes in electrolytic cell seals (such as gaskets and sealing rings), compromising sealing effectiveness. If the seals cannot adapt to the expansion and contraction caused by temperature fluctuations, electrolyte leakage or gas escape may occur, impacting system safety and reliability. Axial expansion and contraction affect the distance between the anode and cathode plates, known as the electrode spacing. Changes in the electrode spacing affect the electrolytic cell's electrical resistance, which in turn affects electrolysis efficiency and energy consumption. Increasing the electrode spacing increases resistance and reduces electrolysis efficiency, and vice versa. Axial expansion and contraction of the diaphragm may affect its physical and chemical properties. If the diaphragm material cannot adapt to the expansion and contraction caused by temperature changes, it may rupture or deform, affecting the separation of hydrogen and oxygen. Furthermore, under normal operating conditions, the disc springs in the electrolytic cell fasteners may become severely deformed due to prolonged use and excessive loads, resulting in increased spacing between the cells and leakage.
[0006] Therefore, it is particularly important to measure the distance between the key components of the water electrolyzer when it is working. Currently, most electrolyzer distance measurement methods use manual tape measures. On the one hand, the measurement accuracy is insufficient, and on the other hand, manual measurement may touch the electrolyzer, causing safety problems.
[0007] In view of the above, it is necessary to propose a distance measurement monitoring system for a water electrolysis hydrogen production device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0029] The following embodiments are used to further describe the specific embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0030] Example 1:
[0031] A ranging monitoring system for a water electrolysis hydrogen production device includes a left-end pressure plate 2 and a right-end pressure plate 3, wherein a plurality of electrolysis chambers are provided between the left-end pressure plate 2 and the right-end pressure plate 3, and the left-end pressure plate 2, the middle plate and the right-end pressure plate 3 are tightened and overlapped with the plurality of electrolysis chambers by a plurality of long bolts 4 to form an electrolytic cell body 1, wherein a disc spring assembly 5 is provided at one end of the long bolt 4, and preset monitoring points 6 are provided in pairs on the monitoring part of the electrolytic cell body 1, and further includes a detection signal transmitting module 7 or a detection signal receiving module 8 provided at the preset monitoring point 6, and the detection signal transmitting module 7 is used to send a detection signal for non-contact measurement. In this embodiment, the detection signal transmitting module 7 and the detection signal receiving module 8 are placed at the same end, and the detection target is located at another relative preset monitoring point 6, such as Figure 3As shown, the detection signal transmitting module 7 and the detection signal receiving module 8 are located at the same preset monitoring point 6, and the other preset monitoring point 6 corresponding to the preset monitoring point 6 is provided with a reflective component 10. The detection signal transmitting module 7 is an ultrasonic ranging sensor 29, and this embodiment is based on the pulse echo method, such as Figure 1 As shown, the trigger signal from the control circuit stimulates the detection signal transmitting module 7 to generate an ultrasonic pulse. At this moment, the system simultaneously generates a start signal that is transmitted to the time measurement module. The ultrasonic wave is transmitted to an object and, when it is blocked by the object, generates a pulse back. The detection signal receiving module 8 is configured to receive the detection signal. The detection signal receiving module 8 receives the signal and simultaneously sends an end signal to the time measurement module. That is, the detection signal transmitting module 7 generates a trigger signal to the time measurement module simultaneously with the detection signal transmission and the detection signal receiving module 8 receiving the detection signal. The time measurement module digitizes the two signals and calculates the time difference. The time measurement module calculates the time interval t between the two trigger signals as the flight time of the detection signal, thereby matching the flight time of the ultrasonic wave. Combined with the speed of sound v (the speed of sound in air can be calculated, assuming a constant air temperature of 15°C and a speed of sound of approximately 340 m / s), the distance l between the signal transmitting end and the target is the distance l between the two preset monitoring points 6. The data processing module calculates the spacing l between the monitoring locations based on the time interval t and the detection signal propagation speed v, as shown in the following formula.
[0032]
[0033] It also includes a temperature detection unit that monitors the temperature of the electrolytic cell body 1, and measures the temperature T of the electrolytic cell body 1 while performing distance detection. The temperature detection unit measures the temperature of the environment in which the electrolytic cell body 1 is located. On the one hand, it can be used as a basis to calculate the speed of the sound wave in the environment, and on the other hand, it can be used to monitor the temperature of the electrolytic cell body 1 for the subsequent comparison processing of the corresponding temperature and the changing relationship between the elongation of the electrolytic cell.
[0034] Specifically, temperature has a certain impact on the accuracy of ultrasonic ranging. Generally, for every 1°C change in temperature, the speed of sound changes by 0.607m / s. The change in the temperature effect on the ultrasonic wave is compensated for in the ultrasonic wave velocity as a correction to reduce the impact of temperature conditions on the ranging results and improve the accuracy of this ultrasonic detection system. This ultrasonic ranging system includes a temperature compensation part. By obtaining the medium temperature, the ultrasonic propagation speed is corrected, thereby improving the ranging accuracy. The propagation speed of the ultrasonic wave in actual working conditions is calculated by the following formula:
[0035]
[0036] Where: t is the temperature of the air medium, unit is ℃; T0 is a constant, and T0=273.16, and the unit of v is m / s.
[0037] In this embodiment, the temperature detection unit collects temperature data in actual working conditions and corrects the sound velocity, thereby improving the accuracy of distance measurement. In this embodiment, the ultrasonic distance measurement monitoring system 9 has a measurement range of 20mm to 10m; the distance measurement accuracy error is ±0.025mm.
[0038] Furthermore, it also includes a contrast processing system, such as Figure 1 As shown, the comparison processing system is pre-set with a database of theoretical spacings L between monitoring points at different temperatures of the electrolytic cell body. In actual operation, since the operating temperature of the electrolytic cell body 1 varies within a certain range, the elongation of the electrolytic cell body 1 also varies with the temperature change. For example, the long bolts 4 connecting the two end pressure plates have their fastening bolts 17 tightened to an appropriate torque when the equipment leaves the factory, so that the distance between the two end pressure plates is the calibrated length in the original factory state. However, during operation, the electrolytic cell body 1 is affected by changes in operating conditions and the environment, and thermal expansion and contraction cause the spacing between the two end pressure plates to change with temperature. Based on long-term practical operation experience, the temperature changes during the operation of the electrolytic cell body 1 are compiled into a temperature gradient as a reference. At a certain temperature value in the temperature gradient, the spacing between the end pressure plates should be within a certain range. The comparison processing system receives the electrolytic cell body 1 temperature T and the calculated spacing l, and compares them with the range of theoretical spacing L for the corresponding temperature in the database. When the spacing l exceeds the range of theoretical spacing L, the alarm system is triggered. During actual processing, the aforementioned temperature detection unit also detects and evaluates the temperature of the electrolytic cell body 1, and transmits the verified temperature data to the comparison processing system to select the corresponding temperature value from the temperature gradient, and then the distance range value of the end pressure plate under the temperature gradient can be found; and the actual spacing l measured by the ultrasonic ranging system is also transmitted to the comparison processing system by the data processing module, and the theoretical spacing L is compared with the actual spacing l. If the actual spacing is within the range of the theoretical spacing, the spacing change of the end pressure plate is normal; if it exceeds the range of the theoretical spacing, there may be a risk of leakage. At this time, an alarm signal can be issued to the operator through the connected alarm system.
[0039] As a preferred embodiment, the comparison processing system is connected to the PLC control system of the electrolytic hydrogen production device. The distance value of the two preset monitoring points 6 measured by the aforementioned ultrasonic ranging monitoring system 9 can be transmitted to the display panel of the PLC control system for observation by the system operator, and the measured distance value and comparison result can also be used as the conditions for the PLC to trigger the interlock, so that the PLC control system of the electrolytic hydrogen production device triggers the corresponding interlock according to the comparison processing result. The specific interlock operations include but are not limited to reducing the power of the electrolytic cell, increasing or decreasing the supply flow of the electrolyte, emergency stop and other operations.
[0040] In practice, the distance measurement between the two preset monitoring points 6 of the monitoring area by the distance measurement monitoring system 9 can be automatically measured at regular intervals, or the distance measurement monitoring system 9 can be triggered by a detection command issued by the PLC control system of the electrolytic hydrogen production device.
[0041] Example 2:
[0042] The principle is the same as that of the above-mentioned embodiment 1. In this embodiment, the detection signal transmitting module and the detection signal receiving module in the ranging monitoring system are respectively located at two preset monitoring points, so that the detection signal transmitting module and the detection signal receiving module are arranged relative to each other. Figure 4 As shown, the detection signal transmitting module and the detection signal receiving module are respectively arranged at two preset monitoring points of the monitoring part. Then, the distance between the two preset monitoring points is l=v×t.
[0043] Example 3:
[0044] It is understandable that in actual use, laser ranging sensors can also be used instead of ultrasonic waves, using optical signals as detection signals for non-contact measurement. Specifically, d is the distance to be measured between two preset monitoring points, c is the speed of light, which propagates in the atmosphere at approximately 3×108 m / s, and t is the flight time of the laser pulse from emission to reception, that is, the time interval between the start signal and the stop signal. In a pulsed laser ranging system, the time interval t is recorded by the clock counter inside the time measurement module, which records the number of cycles of the clock oscillator between the start signal and the stop signal. The frequency of the oscillator determines the time resolution of the counter. Assuming the clock oscillator frequency is f, and the clock counter records N oscillation cycles, the distance d can be calculated according to the following formula:
[0045]
[0046] Example 4:
[0047] It is understood that in actual use, radar ranging sensors can also be used instead of ultrasonic waves, using electromagnetic wave signals as the detection signal for non-contact measurement; the propagation speed of electromagnetic waves is approximately the speed of light, that is, about 300,000 kilometers per second. The radar ranging sensor system can calculate the distance to the target by measuring the time difference between the transmitted signal and the received echo signal. Based on the time difference and the speed of the electromagnetic wave, the formula can be used:
[0048] D = (c × t) / 2
[0049] Calculate the distance to the target. Where D is the distance, c is the propagation speed of the electromagnetic wave (approximately 3 × 10^8 m / s), and t is the time difference between transmission and reception. Divide by 2 because the electromagnetic wave makes one round trip.
[0050] Embodiment 5:
[0051] As an application embodiment of the distance measurement monitoring system, the preset monitoring point 6 is provided with a positioning frame structure 11 for setting up the detection signal transmitting module 7 or the detection signal receiving module 8. The positioning frame structure includes a base body connected to the preset monitoring point. Specifically, in this embodiment, it is used to monitor the distance between the end pressure plates on both sides of the electrolytic cell body, such as Figure 4 As shown, a positioning frame structure 11 is set on the left end pressure plate 2 and the right end pressure plate 3. The monitoring part is the distance between the two end pressure plates. The two end pressure plates are preset monitoring points 6, and a distance measurement monitoring system 9 is used to monitor the distance change between the two end pressure plates.
[0052] The positioning frame structure 11 includes a slot 12 with a groove fixed on the end pressure plate and matched with the shape of the end pressure plate. The groove matches the shape of the edge of the end pressure plate. When used specifically, if the electrolytic cell body is a circular flange-shaped pressure plate, the slot 12 is also an arc-shaped structure, such as Figure 5 When the first and second side plates 13 are in engagement with each other, the first and second side plates 13 are engaged with each other, and the second and second side plates 13 are engaged with each other, so that the first and second side plates 13 are engaged with each other, and the second and second side plates 13 are engaged with each other, so that the first and second side plates 13 are engaged with each other, and the second and second side plates 13 are engaged with each other, so that the first and second side plates 13 are engaged with each other, and the second and second side plates 13 are engaged with each other, so that the
[0053] As a preferred embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the side panels on both sides of the bottom plate 15 extend to form extended side edges, so that the bottom plate 15 plus the extended side edges on both sides form a widened slot 12, and triangular reinforcing ribs 18 are arranged between the extended side edges and the two side panels to avoid deformation during clamping; at the same time, the extended side edges are also beneficial to the position adjustment of the detection signal transmitting module 7 installed on the upper side.
[0054] Specifically, a guide rail 19 is provided on the upper side of the widened slot 12 and is arranged along the axial direction of the electrolytic cell body. A slider 20 is slidably provided on the guide rail 19. The transmitting and receiving modules of the ranging detection system are installed on the slider 20. Specifically, a vertical plate 21 is vertically arranged on the slider 20. A through hole is provided on the vertical plate 21.

Nuts 22 threadedly connected to the sensor 29 are provided on both sides of the through hole for fixation; an adjusting screw 23 is also provided, and the adjusting screw 23 is arranged parallel to the guide rail 19 and is rotatably connected to the slot 12. The adjusting screw 23 passes through the slider 20 and is threadedly connected. Therefore, by rotating the adjusting screw 23, the position of the sensor 29 can be accurately adjusted so that the transmitting window of the sensor 29 is flush with the end face of the end pressure plate, thereby minimizing the measurement error.

[0057] In this embodiment, if Figure 6 As shown in the figure, the left end pressure plate is a preset monitoring point 6, and a pole frame 32 on the right is another preset monitoring point 6, so a positioning frame structure 11 is set at these two points respectively. The positioning frame structure 11 on the left point is the same as that of the fifth embodiment, and the positioning frame structure 11 on the right side includes an arc-shaped base plate 24, a first hinge arm 25, and a second hinge arm 26. Figure 7 As shown, the curved substrate 24 is arranged in contact with the surface of the pole frame 32, and its bottom surface has the same curvature as the surface of the pole frame 32. A threaded hole 28 is provided on the surface of the pole frame 32, and a positioning screw 27 is provided through the curved substrate 24. The positioning screw 27 is screwed into the threaded hole 28 to fix the positioning frame structure 11 to the pole frame 32.
