Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to hydrogen fuel cell system technical field, concretely relates to a hydrogen fuel cell system air compressor shaft. BACKGROUND

[0002] The air compressor is responsible for delivering clean air of specific pressure and flow for the electric pile in the fuel cell system, and provides necessary oxygen for the electric pile reaction, and is the most core component of the fuel cell system except the electric pile. The requirements of the hydrogen fuel cell industry for the air compressor are high efficiency, small volume, oil-free, large working flow and pressure range, small noise, vibration and impact resistance, fast dynamic response, etc. In the face of such harsh requirements, centrifugal air compressors have become the focus of research and development of various manufacturers. The centrifugal compressor is also called turbine compressor, and its working principle is that when the impeller rotates at high speed, the gas is thrown into the diffuser behind under the action of centrifugal force, and a vacuum zone is formed at the impeller. At this time, fresh gas from the outside enters the impeller. The impeller rotates continuously, and the gas is continuously sucked and thrown out, thereby maintaining the continuous flow of the gas. Because the requirements of the entire hydrogen fuel system on flow, pressure ratio and efficiency are getting higher and higher, therefore the air compressor can only increase the impeller and improve the speed to ensure the input demand of the system. Because the rotating shaft rotates at high speed, a large centrifugal force is generated, and the gas also generates a large force on the impeller, which brings more stringent challenges to the reliability of the overall structure of the air compressor shaft system.

[0003] In the traditional hydrogen fuel cell system air compressor, the compression wheel and the rotating shaft are only connected by interference fit and nut compression, the compression wheel is used for compressing air, and the compression wheel is easy to expand under the influence of temperature and centrifugal force in the high-speed working state. The compression wheel will rotate relative to the rotating shaft, which is specifically manifested as follows: the compression wheel is easy to rotate relative to the rotating shaft under the influence of aerodynamic force in the state of rapid acceleration; the compression wheel is easy to rotate relative to the rotating shaft under the influence of inertial force in the state of rapid deceleration.

[0004] And the traditional key connection circumferential positioning form needs to open a key groove in the inner hole of the compression wheel and on the rotating shaft. For the compression wheel with large wheel diameter installed on the thin rotating shaft, the installation space of the key is limited, and the stress concentration at the key groove position will cause large deformation of the compression wheel during work, which is very unfavorable to the strength and rigidity of the compression wheel and the rotating shaft.
