Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of hydrogen compressor technology, and in particular relates to a ceramic rod sleeve clamping structure device for a hydrogen compressor. Background Technology

[0002] As a key piece of equipment in the hydrogen energy industry chain, the core function of a hydrogen compressor is to achieve efficient compression of hydrogen through the reciprocating motion of a piston rod. As the driving component, the piston rod operates under high pressure and high speed conditions for extended periods, making frictional wear between its surface and the seals, as well as hydrogen embrittlement, particularly prominent. Especially in double-acting compression cylinders, the piston rod must withstand bidirectional loads, placing extremely high demands on the mechanical properties and surface hardness of the materials.

[0003] In traditional hydrogen compressors, piston rods are often made of hydrogen-resistant materials (such as high-strength stainless steel and nickel-based alloys) to cope with hydrogen embrittlement in a hydrogen environment. However, while these materials possess good resistance to hydrogen embrittlement, their surface hardness often falls short of the standards required for seals. Even with surface hardening treatments (such as nitriding and chrome plating), problems such as uneven layer thickness and insufficient bonding strength remain. This makes the piston rod prone to scoring and scratches during high-speed reciprocating motion, leading to seal failure, hydrogen leakage, and other safety hazards.

[0004] To compensate for the insufficient surface hardness of materials resistant to hydrogen embrittlement, existing technologies often employ a ceramic sleeve attached to the outer surface of the piston rod. Ceramic materials possess extremely high hardness and wear resistance, significantly reducing frictional losses between the piston rod and the seals. However, the inherent brittleness of ceramic materials makes them highly susceptible to fracture under dynamic loads due to stress concentration or end-face impact. Especially during compressor start-up, shutdown, or sudden load changes, if the ceramic sleeve cannot achieve precise axial positioning, the rigid contact between its end and adjacent components (such as the piston or end cap) will lead to excessive local stress, causing the sleeve to fracture or even fragment, severely impacting the reliability of equipment operation.

The piston rod 5 extends to the gas cylinder sleeve 2 and the oil cylinder sleeve 1 through the cylinder base 7 and is slidably connected to the oil cylinder piston 3 and the gas cylinder piston 4. The ceramic rod sleeve 6 is sleeved on the piston rod 5 between the oil cylinder piston 3 and the gas cylinder piston 4. The ceramic rod sleeve 6 passes through the cylinder base 7 and is slidably connected to the cylinder base 7. A first spacer ring 8 is arranged between the oil cylinder piston 3 and the ceramic rod sleeve 6. One end of the first spacer ring 8 is connected to the oil cylinder piston 3, and the other end of the first spacer ring 8 is connected to one end of the ceramic rod sleeve 6. The other end of the ceramic rod sleeve 6 is connected to one end of the gas cylinder piston 4. The first spacer ring 8 arranged on one end of the oil cylinder piston 3 and the positioning groove arranged on the other end of the gas cylinder piston 4 jointly limit the axial displacement of the ceramic rod sleeve 6, thereby avoiding damage caused by the end face collision of the ceramic rod sleeve 6.

[0022] In the embodiment, a plug-in groove is arranged at one end of the oil cylinder piston 3, and one end of the first spacer ring 8 is plug-in connected to the plug-in groove. The plug-in groove is used for connecting the oil cylinder piston 3 and the first spacer ring 8.

[0023] In the embodiment, a second spacer ring 9 is arranged between the piston rod 5 and the oil cylinder piston 3. A groove is arranged on the outer wall of the piston rod 5 and matched with the second spacer ring 9. The second spacer ring 9 is used for connecting and fixing the piston rod 5 and the oil cylinder piston 3.

[0024] In the embodiment, a first positioning groove is arranged at the other end of the first spacer ring 8, and one end of the ceramic rod sleeve 6 is arranged in the first positioning groove. A second positioning groove is arranged at one end of the gas cylinder piston 4, and the other end of the ceramic rod sleeve 6 is arranged in the second positioning groove.
