[0031] The present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0032] First, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 is a structural schematic view of an embodiment of the single-soldier hydrogen energy device of the present application. As Figure 1As shown, the single soldier hydrogen energy device comprises a water storage tank 1, a water pump 2, a reaction generator 3, a buffer tank 5 and a single soldier hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell 6 connected in sequence.

[0033] The water storage tank 1 is used for storing water, and a water inlet can be arranged on the water storage tank 1 for supplementing water source into the water storage tank 1.

[0034] The device can further comprise a controller in communication connection with the water pump 2 for controlling the start and stop of the water pump.

[0035] The reaction generator 3 is a container for generating hydrogen, and a hydrogen conversion material is placed in the reaction generator 3, which can generate hydrogen after reacting with water. As an example, the hydrogen conversion material can be metal hydride or the like. Those skilled in the art can determine the hydrogen conversion material according to the prior art or repeated experiments, but such changes do not exceed the protection scope of the present disclosure.

[0036] Further, an electric control valve 31 and an electric control valve 32 in communication connection with the controller are arranged at the water inlet and the hydrogen outlet of the reaction generator 3 respectively. The controller adjusts the opening degree of the electric control valve 31 to control the pressure of water in the transmission process. The controller adjusts the opening degree of the electric control valve 32 to control the pressure of generated hydrogen in the transmission process, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the device.

[0037] In addition, the reaction generator 3 is further connected with a vacuum pump 4, and the vacuum pump 4 is in communication connection with the controller, which is used for vacuumizing the reaction generator 3 to avoid air participating in the reaction of generating hydrogen, thereby improving the cleanliness of hydrogen.

[0038] The vacuum pump 4 and the reaction generator 3 are further provided with an electric control valve 41 in communication connection with the controller. When the electric energy needs to be supplemented, the electric control valve 41 can be opened by the controller to start the vacuum pump 4 to perform the vacuumizing operation, and then the electric control valve 41 and the vacuum pump 4 are closed, and finally the water source is added and the water pump 2 is started.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 is a structural schematic view of another embodiment of the single soldier hydrogen energy device of the present application. As shown in the figure, Figure 2 The reaction generator 3 can be multiple, and the electric control valve 31 and the electric control valve 32 can be arranged at the water inlet and the hydrogen outlet of each reaction generator 3. In order to provide appropriate water quantity for each reaction generator 3, a water distributor 8 can be arranged between the water pump 2 and the multiple electric control valves 31. The vacuum pump 4 is connected with each reaction generator 3 through a pipeline.

[0040] The generated hydrogen enters the buffer tank 5 through a pipeline, which is used to reduce the pressure fluctuation in the device. An electrically controlled valve 53 and an electrically controlled valve 54 are respectively arranged at the inlet end and the outlet end of the buffer tank 5 and are in communication connection with the controller. The controller adjusts the opening degree of the electrically controlled valve 53 and the electrically controlled valve 54 to control the hydrogen inflow and outflow and the transmission pressure when entering and discharging.

[0041] Further, a pressure sensor 51 in communication connection with the controller is arranged on the buffer tank 5. When the pressure sensor 51 detects that the pressure in the buffer tank 5 exceeds the preset pressure, the controller controls the electrically controlled valve 53 to reduce the opening degree or to be closed, so as to reduce the hydrogen inflow, and increases the opening degree of the electrically controlled valve 54, so as to adjust the pressure in the buffer tank 5.

[0042] The outlet end of the above-mentioned buffer tank 5 can be further provided with a pressure regulating valve 7, which is used to adjust the transmission pressure of the hydrogen discharged by the buffer tank 5, so as to improve the reliability and safety of the device. Of course, the pressure regulating valve 7 can also be in communication connection with the controller, and the transmission pressure of the hydrogen is changed by adjusting the pressure regulating valve 7 through the controller.

When the temperature sensor 52 detects that the temperature in the buffer tank 5 exceeds the preset temperature, the controller controls the electrically controlled valve 53 to reduce the opening degree or to be closed, so as to reduce the hydrogen inflow, and increases the opening degree of the electrically controlled valve 54, so as to adjust the temperature in the buffer tank 5.

[0044] By adjusting the temperature of the buffer tank 5, not only the buffer tank 5 can be protected, the service life of the buffer tank 5 and the safety of the device can be prolonged, but also the single-soldier hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell 6 can be provided with a temperature suitable for the hydrogen-oxygen power generation process, so as to improve the power generation efficiency.

[0045] The above-mentioned hydrogen finally enters the single-soldier hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell 6, which generates electric energy after the hydrogen reacts with oxygen. The single-soldier hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell 6 can be electrically connected with various combat devices such as communication equipment and night vision devices configured for a single soldier. After the voltage converter included in the single-soldier hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell 6 adjusts the voltage to an appropriate voltage, the single-soldier hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell 6 supplies power to the various combat devices.

[0046] In actual use, the single soldier energy device can be transported to the combat base by vehicle or the like, and since the hydrogen conversion material is easy to transport and store compared with hydrogen, the mobility and safety are improved. The single soldier hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell 6 can be equipped on the soldier to provide power for the soldier to perform tasks outside. When the hydrogen amount is insufficient, the soldier can return to the base to supplement hydrogen by the single soldier hydrogen energy device, which provides convenience and guarantee for single soldier combat. The above-mentioned multiple electric control valves can be electric regulating valves or proportional valves, etc., which can open and close and adjust the valve opening degree. The above-mentioned controller can be MCU (Microcontroller Unit), PLC (Programmable Logic Controller), DSP (Digital Signal Processor) or the like, and those skilled in the art can select according to actual conditions.

[0047] Hydrogen is generated by reacting with the hydrogen conversion material in the reaction generator, and hydrogen can be produced and used immediately, which reduces the risk of hydrogen transportation and storage. Compared with hydrogen refueling stations, the mobility and flexibility can be greatly improved, and hydrogen can be provided for the single soldier hydrogen-oxygen fuel power supply in the field environment.

[0048] In addition, by setting multiple electric control valves, the pressure of water inlet and hydrogen transmission can be controlled, and the safety and reliability of the device are improved.

[0049] In addition, by setting multiple electric control valves, the pressure of water inlet and hydrogen transmission can be controlled, and the safety and reliability of the device are improved.
