Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hydrogen energy storage, specifically a storage device for hydrogen energy storage. Background Technology

[0002] Hydrogen is usually in its elemental form as hydrogen gas, which is colorless, tasteless, and odorless. It is a highly flammable gas composed of diatomic molecules. Hydrogen is the lightest gas and is a new type of hydrogen energy source. Hydrogen is usually stored and transported in hydrogen cylinders. However, when hydrogen cylinders are stacked vertically for transport, the cylinders are placed close together for support. Friction will occur between the cylinders, which will cause rust and paint peeling over time. In addition, the hydrogen cylinders are prone to partial leakage at the nozzle during transportation due to vibration.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a storage device for hydrogen energy storage. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a hydrogen energy storage device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

A protective mechanism is provided on the outside of the storage bottle to protect the hydrogen storage bottle. The protective mechanism includes a first protective component for protecting the sidewall of the storage bottle and a second protective component for protecting the valve.

[0007] Preferably, the first protective component includes a bottom plate and a top plate, the bottom plate being mounted on the side wall at the bottom of the storage bottle and the top plate being mounted on the side wall at the top of the storage bottle.

[0008] Preferably, a side plate is installed on the side wall in the middle of the storage bottle, and the bottom plate, side plate and top plate are all the same size.

[0009] Preferably, rubber gaskets are provided on the inner sides of the bottom plate, side plate and top plate.

[0010] Preferably, the second protective component includes a connecting ring, a protective cover, and a top cover. The connecting ring is fixedly installed on the top of the top plate, the protective cover is threaded on the inner side of the connecting ring, and the top cover is threaded on the top of the protective cover.

[0011] Preferably, a hydrogen detector is threaded onto the top of the top cover, and an extraction pipe is also installed on the top cover, with a valve installed on the extraction pipe.

[0012] Additional aspects and advantages of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention.

[0013] Beneficial effects:

[0014] By installing a first protective component on the side wall of the hydrogen storage cylinder, the cylinders will not collide and rub against each other when standing upright, reducing friction, rust, and paint peeling, thus protecting the outer wall of the cylinder. By installing a second protective component on the top of the hydrogen storage cylinder, leaked hydrogen will be collected inside the protective cover and then extracted through the extraction pipe, preventing the direct discharge of leaked hydrogen.

The protective mechanism 100 includes a first protective component 2 for protecting the side wall of the storage bottle 1 and a second protective component 3 for protecting the valve 11.

[0023] Furthermore, the first protective component 2 includes a base plate 21 and a top plate 23. The base plate 21 is installed on the side wall at the bottom of the storage bottle 1. By setting the base plate 21, not only is the support area at the bottom of the storage bottle 1 increased, making the storage bottle 1 more stable, but it also protects the storage bottle 1 so that when the storage bottles 1 are placed upright, the outer walls of multiple sets of storage bottles 1 will not collide or rub against each other. The top plate 23 is installed on the side wall at the top of the storage bottle 1. The top plate 23 not only supports the installation of the connecting ring 31, but also protects the top of the storage bottle 1 so that the tops of the storage bottles 1 will not collide or rub against each other. Side plates 22 are installed on the middle side wall. The bottom plate 21, side plates 22 and top plate 23 are all the same size. The bottom plate 21, side plates 22 and top plate 23 work together to protect the side wall of the storage bottle 1, so that the storage bottle 1 will not rub against the outer wall when standing upright, reducing friction, rust and paint peeling of the storage bottle 1. Rubber gaskets are provided on the inner side of the bottom plate 21, side plates 22 and top plate 23. The bottom plate 21, side plates 22 and top plate 23 are installed to protect the outer wall of the storage bottle 1. The rubber gaskets also protect the side wall of the storage bottle 1.

[0024] Furthermore, the second protective assembly 3 includes a connecting ring 31, a protective cover 32, and a top cover 33. The connecting ring 31 is fixedly installed on the top of the top plate 23 and is used to support the protective cover 32, allowing for easy removal and installation of the protective cover 32. The protective cover 32 is threaded onto the inner side of the connecting ring 31. The protective cover 32 and the top cover 33 are used to seal and protect the valve nozzle 11, preventing the gas from escaping even if the valve nozzle 11 leaks hydrogen, thus keeping the gas inside the protective cover 32. The top cover 33 is threaded onto the top of the protective cover 32, and the top cover 33 can also be removable. For disassembly and installation, the top cover 33 supports and installs the hydrogen detector 34 and the extraction pipe 35.
