Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of hydrogen storage, in particular to a hydrogen storage system filled with a bottle of solid composite metal hydrogen storage material. Background Art

[0002] The physical storage of hydrogen is embodied in high-pressure gaseous hydrogen storage, low-temperature liquid hydrogen storage, and room-temperature solid hydrogen storage. High-pressure gaseous hydrogen storage and low-temperature liquid hydrogen storage have high storage and transportation costs, high equipment and system investment, large floor space, and high storage and transportation safety risks.

[0003] Generally, traditional hydrogen storage technologies are divided into gaseous hydrogen storage, high-pressure liquid hydrogen storage, organic liquid hydrogen storage, and solid hydrogen storage. However, since hydrogen is a flammable gas, safety must be carefully considered if it needs to be transported or stored in large quantities. Solid-state hydrogen storage technology utilizes the reaction between hydrogen and hydrogen storage materials to achieve hydrogen storage. Compared with other hydrogen storage methods, solid-state hydrogen storage technology has the advantages of high hydrogen storage density, low pressure, good safety, and high hydrogen purity. However, the storage capacity of solid-state hydrogen storage is limited by the size of the hydrogen storage bottle. Therefore, when solid-state hydrogen storage is needed to store or transport large quantities of hydrogen, a safe hydrogen storage solution is needed. Utility Model Content

It should be understood that other embodiments may also be used, and that mechanical, structural, electrical, and operational changes may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure. The following detailed description should not be considered restrictive, and the scope of the embodiments of the present application is limited only by the claims of the published patents. The terms used herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present application. Spatially related terms, such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "below", "below", "lower", "above", "upper", etc., may be used in the text to illustrate the relationship between one element or feature shown in the figure and another element or feature.

[0031] Although the terms first, second etc. are used to describe various elements or parameters in this article in some instances, these elements or parameters should not be limited by these terms.These terms are only used to distinguish one or parameter part from another or parameter.For example, the first end can be referred to as the second end, and similarly, the second end can be referred to as the first end, without departing from the scope of the various described embodiments.The first end and the second end are both describing one end, but unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, they are not the same end.

[0032] Furthermore, as used herein, the singular forms "a", "an", and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context indicates otherwise. It should be further understood that the terms "comprise", "include" indicate the presence of the described features, steps, operations, elements, components, items, kinds, and / or groups, but do not exclude the presence, occurrence, or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, elements, components, items, kinds, and / or groups.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The utility model proposes a hydrogen storage system using solid hydrogen storage materials, including multiple hydrogen storage bottles 1, connecting hoses 2, a control module 3, a connecting valve 4 and a connecting joint 5; one end of the connecting hose 2 is connected to the bottle mouth of the hydrogen storage bottle 1, and the other end is connected to the connecting valve 4. Generally speaking, the connecting hose 2 is a soft metal hose or an explosion-proof hose.

[0034] It should be noted that the hydrogen storage bottle 1 is filled with a solid hydrogen storage material, which is a nano-carbon magnesium-based metal composite material. A heating module 11 is provided inside the hydrogen storage bottle. The heating module 11 can directly heat the solid hydrogen storage material. When the temperature of the solid hydrogen storage material increases, it helps to increase the amount of hydrogen absorbed / released by the solid hydrogen storage material, thereby improving the efficiency of the hydrogen storage bottle in absorbing / releasing hydrogen. The control module 3 is provided at the bottom of the hydrogen storage bottle and is electrically connected to the heating module 11. The heating temperature and heating time of the heating module 11 can be controlled by the control module 3. At the same time, a temperature sensor 12 is provided in the heating module 11. The temperature of the solid hydrogen storage material is obtained by the temperature sensor 12 and adjusted by the control module 3. In this embodiment, the heating module 11 is an infrared heating module, including an infrared heating component (not shown in the figure), such as an infrared heating coil and a heating bracket. Furthermore, in order to achieve a better temperature maintenance effect of the hydrogen storage bottle 1, the outside of the hydrogen storage bottle 1 is also covered with an insulation cover (not shown in the figure) to maintain the temperature inside the hydrogen storage bottle.

[0035] In this embodiment, the connecting valve 4 has a connecting joint 41, which is a quick-connect joint and is connected to an external hydrogen device (not shown in the figure), such as a fuel cell or a device that requires hydrogen supply. The external hydrogen device or the device that requires hydrogen supply is connected to the hydrogen storage bottle 1 through the connecting joint 41, the connecting valve 4 and the connecting hose 2.

[0036] In addition, this embodiment also includes a master control module 6, which is electrically connected to the control module 3 of each hydrogen storage bottle 1. The communication valve 4 can be a solenoid-controlled valve and is also electrically connected to the master control module 6. The master control module 6 controls the communication valve 4 and each control module 3 to switch the hydrogen storage bottle 1 for output or input of hydrogen and the temperature of each hydrogen storage bottle 1. This allows for flexible adjustment of the hydrogen storage amount in the hydrogen storage bottle 1 and adjustment of the connection between the hydrogen storage bottle 1 and the external hydrogen device. To ensure safer transmission of hydrogen, a safety valve (not shown) can be further installed at the bottle mouth of the hydrogen storage bottle 1 to prevent hydrogen leakage.

[0037] Furthermore, a plurality of hydrogen storage bottles 1 can be placed on the fixed bracket 7. During transportation, a large number of hydrogen storage bottles 1 can be transported by simply moving the fixed bracket 7, thereby achieving the purpose of safety and convenience.

[0038] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integrated connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. Unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, ordinary technicians in this field can understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention according to specific circumstances.

[0039] The above is a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention.
