[0047] Please refer to Figs. 1-3 The embodiment provides a multi-stage filtering device for hydrogen purification, which comprises a base body 100, a partition plate 110 arranged at the middle of the base body 100 and used for separating the internal space into an upper cavity and a lower cavity, a first gas outlet 120 arranged at the top of the upper cavity, a first gas inlet 130 arranged at the bottom of the upper cavity, a plurality of adsorption tanks 200 arranged in the lower cavity and connected with the gas inlet 130, a wind drum 300 arranged in the upper cavity, an exhaust pipe 310 coaxially arranged in the wind drum 300, and a second gas inlet 320 arranged on one side of the wind drum 300 and connected with the adsorption tank 200, wherein one end of the exhaust pipe 310 extends to the outside of the wind drum 300 and is connected with the first gas outlet 120, and a collecting tank 400 arranged in the lower cavity and connected with the bottom of the wind drum 300 through a conus 330.

[0049] In the embodiment, the wind drum 300 is provided with the second gas inlet 320 on one side, and the exhaust pipe 310 coaxially arranged in the wind drum 300 and the conus 330 arranged at the bottom of the wind drum 300 can effectively form a cyclone dust collector, so that the crystal salt particles mixed in the hydrogen can be separated, and the adsorption tank 200 connected between the first gas inlet 130 and the second gas inlet 320 can effectively remove the droplet or mist sea water mixed in the hydrogen, so that the multi-stage filtering of the hydrogen can be realized and the purity of the hydrogen can be ensured.

[0050] In a preferred embodiment, the base body 100 is in a U shape and one side is in an open structure, one side of the upper cavity is provided with a first side plate detachably mounted on the base body 100, and one side of the lower cavity is provided with a second side plate detachably mounted on the base body 100.

[0051] In the embodiment, one side of the base body 100 is in an open structure, and the first side plate and the second side plate are detachably mounted, so that the device can be conveniently installed, maintained and repaired, and the adsorption tank 200 can be easily replaced by detaching the side plate during actual installation.

[0052] In a preferred embodiment, the inside of the adsorption tank 200 is provided with a baffle in the length direction, and a third gas inlet 210 and a third gas outlet 220 are respectively arranged at the two sides of the baffle; the baffle is connected with the side wall and the top of the adsorption tank 200 respectively, so that the inside of the adsorption tank 200 forms a U-shaped space.

[0054] In a preferred embodiment, the adsorption tank 200 is filled with one or more of activated carbon, activated alumina and zeolite.

[0055] In this embodiment, the adsorption tank 200 is filled with a mixture of activated carbon and activated alumina; when hydrogen enters the adsorption tank 200 from the third gas inlet 210, it flows in the U-shaped space and fully contacts with the adsorbent; the activated carbon can effectively adsorb water vapor in the hydrogen, and the activated alumina has good adsorption effect on part of particulate matters.

[0056] In a preferred embodiment, the third gas inlet 210 and the third gas outlet 220 are respectively in T-shaped structure, and are sleeved with matching lock nuts; the partition plate 110 is provided with matching butt joints corresponding to the third gas inlet 210 and the third gas outlet 220; the butt joints are provided with external threads matched with the lock nuts.

[0057] In this embodiment, the third gas inlet 210 and the third gas outlet 220 are respectively in T-shaped structure, and can be quickly connected with the butt joints by cooperating with the lock nuts; this connection mode ensures the sealing and stability of the connection between the adsorption tank 200 and the upper cavity, and prevents hydrogen leakage; during installation, the technician only needs to align the T-shaped interface with the butt joint, and rotate the lock nut to tightly cooperate with the external threads of the butt joint, so that the connection can be completed, which is simple and convenient.

[0059] In the embodiment, when the hydrogen enters from the first gas inlet 130, it is distributed to different adsorption tanks 200 through the first three-way valve 131; the hydrogen enters the adsorption tank 200 from the third gas inlet 210, flows in the U-shaped space, and fully contacts with the adsorbent; in actual use, as the adsorbent adsorbs more impurities, the adsorption effect will gradually decrease; at this time, the hydrogen can be introduced into other adsorption tanks 200 for continuous filtering by switching the first three-way valve 131, and the adsorbent in the used adsorption tank 200 can be replaced or regenerated, so as to realize continuous filtering.

[0060] In a preferred embodiment, a second three-way valve 321 is further arranged in the upper cavity; an output end of the second three-way valve 321 is connected with the second gas inlet 320; and the third gas outlet 220 is connected with an input end of the second three-way valve 321 through a corresponding connecting head.

[0061] In the embodiment, the arrangement of the first three-way valve 131 and the second three-way valve 321 enables the flow direction of the hydrogen in the device to be flexibly controlled; by switching the opening and closing states of the valves, the multiple adsorption tanks 200 can be alternately used, so as to ensure the continuity of the filtering work.

[0063] In the embodiment, as the adsorption tank 200 has a large weight and needs to reserve space at the bottom during installation, long-time suspension installation may cause leakage at the connection; the support mechanism can effectively support the adsorption tank 200, so as to prevent the adsorption tank 200 from being in a suspended state after installation.
