[0002] A hydrogen compressor is a device that compresses and transports hydrogen by changing its volume. It is widely used in hydrogen production, pipeline transportation, and hydrogen refueling stations. Liquid-driven hydrogen compressors, with their high efficiency, large displacement, and high safety, have become key equipment in the hydrogen energy storage and transportation field. The compression cylinder of a liquid-driven hydrogen compressor is special, employing a double-piston rod cylinder. The reciprocating motion of the two piston rods alternately compresses the hydrogen in the chambers at both ends of the piston rods.

[0044] This application provides a reversing control device for a liquid-driven hydrogen compressor, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the liquid-driven hydrogen compressor includes a compression cylinder 100, which has a first oil port a1 and a second oil port a2. The reversing control device includes a motor 1, a hydraulically controlled proportional closed-loop pump 2, an electronically controlled proportional valve group 3, a pressure detection module (not shown in the figure), and a control module (not shown in the figure).
[0045] The oil ports of the hydraulically controlled proportional closed-loop pump 2, the electronically controlled proportional valve group 3, and the compression cylinder 100 are interconnected to form a closed-loop hydraulic system.
[0046] Motor 1, whose output shaft is connected to the power input end of hydraulically controlled proportional closed pump 2, so as to drive hydraulically controlled proportional closed pump 2 to work.
[0047] The pressure detection module has its signal output terminal connected to the signal input terminal of the control module. The pressure detection module is used to detect the working pressure signal of the hydraulic proportional closed pump 2 and transmit the detected working pressure signal to the control module.
[0048] The control module has its signal output terminal connected to the signal input terminal of the electronically controlled proportional valve group 3. The control module is used to control the electronically controlled proportional valve group 3 according to the working pressure signal detected by the pressure detection module, so as to control the reversing of the hydraulically controlled proportional closed pump 2 and adjust the displacement of the hydraulically controlled proportional closed pump 2 through the electronically controlled proportional valve group 3.
[0049] The hydraulically controlled proportional closed-loop pump 2 is used to continuously compress hydrogen by driving the reciprocating motion of the compression cylinder 100 by changing the oil inlet and outlet direction and displacement.
[0050] The working principle of the liquid-driven hydrogen compressor reversing control device in this embodiment is as follows:
[0051] When the liquid-driven hydrogen compressor is working, the pressure detection module detects the working pressure signal of the liquid-controlled proportional closed-loop pump 2 and transmits it to the control module. The control module controls the electronically controlled proportional valve group 3 according to the working pressure signal detected by the pressure detection module. The electronically controlled proportional valve group 3 controls the reversing of the liquid-controlled proportional closed-loop pump 2 and adjusts the displacement of the liquid-controlled proportional closed-loop pump 2. The liquid-controlled proportional closed-loop pump 2 drives the compression cylinder 100 to reciprocate by changing the oil inlet and outlet direction and displacement, thereby completing the continuous compression of hydrogen.
[0052] This embodiment of the application establishes a closed hydraulic system by setting up an electronically controlled proportional valve group 3 and a hydraulically controlled proportional closed pump 2 to form a compression cylinder 100 of a liquid-driven hydrogen compressor. The hydraulically controlled proportional closed pump 2 directly supplies oil to the compression cylinder 100. The electronically controlled proportional valve group 3 controls the reversing and displacement adjustment of the hydraulically controlled proportional closed pump 2 based on the working pressure signal detected by the pressure detection module. Compared with the traditional liquid-driven hydrogen compressor that controls the reversing of the compression cylinder 100 through an open hydraulic system composed of a fixed displacement pump and a hydraulically controlled reversing valve 34, the control device of this application avoids the hydraulic shock and energy loss that occur during the reversing process of the open hydraulic system. Therefore, the reversing shock of the hydraulic system is smaller, the compression efficiency of hydrogen is higher, and the hydraulic pipeline is greatly simplified.
[0053] Data from experimental verification and actual use testing show that the compression efficiency of a conventional liquid-driven hydrogen compressor using an open hydraulic system consisting of a fixed-displacement pump and a hydraulically controlled directional valve 34 is no higher than 65%, while the compression efficiency of the liquid-driven hydrogen compressor in this embodiment can be increased to over 80%.
[0054] In this embodiment, by controlling the displacement of the hydraulically controlled proportional closed-loop pump 2 based on the working pressure signal detected by the pressure detection module, constant power control of the hydraulically controlled proportional closed-loop pump 2 can also be achieved. This can significantly reduce the maximum power of the motor 1 and decrease the maximum power requirement of the hydraulically driven hydrogen compressor on the motor 1. For example, when the hydraulically driven hydrogen compressor of the conventional open hydraulic system composed of a fixed displacement pump and a hydraulically controlled directional valve 34 requires a maximum power of 55kW for the motor 1, the constant power control of the closed hydraulic system of this application can reduce the maximum output power of the motor 1 to only 45kW to meet the normal operation requirements of the equipment.
[0055] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the hydraulically controlled proportional closed-loop pump 2 has a first drive oil port b1, a second drive oil port b2, a first control oil inlet b3, a second control oil inlet b4, and a signal oil supply port b5 connected to it.
[0056] The electronically controlled proportional valve assembly 3 has a first signal oil inlet c1, a second signal oil inlet c2, a first control oil outlet c3, a second control oil outlet c4, and a signal oil inlet c5.
[0057] The first drive oil port b1 of the hydraulically controlled proportional closed-loop pump 2, the first signal oil inlet c1 of the electronically controlled proportional valve group 3, and the first oil port a1 of the compression cylinder 100 are connected; the second drive oil port b2 of the hydraulically controlled proportional closed-loop pump 2, the second signal oil inlet c2 of the electronically controlled proportional valve group 3, and the second oil port a2 of the compression cylinder 100 are connected.
[0058] The first control oil inlet b3 of the hydraulically controlled proportional closed-loop pump 2 is connected to the first control oil outlet c3 of the electronically controlled proportional valve group 3, and the second control oil inlet b4 of the hydraulically controlled proportional closed-loop pump 2 is connected to the second control oil outlet c4 of the electronically controlled proportional valve group 3.
[0059] The signal oil supply port b5 of the hydraulically controlled proportional closed-circuit pump 2 is connected to the signal oil inlet port c5 of the electronically controlled proportional valve group 3.
[0060] In this embodiment, the hydraulically controlled proportional closed-loop pump 2 supplies oil to the signal oil inlet c5 of the electronically controlled proportional valve group 3 through the signal oil supply port b5, thereby providing control oil pressure to the electronically controlled proportional valve group 3. The electronically controlled proportional valve group 3 obtains the oil inlet / outlet direction and oil pressure of the first oil port a1 and the second oil port a2 of the compression cylinder 100 through the first signal oil inlet c1 and the second signal oil inlet c2, respectively, thereby controlling the oil inlet / outlet direction of the first control oil outlet c3 and the second control oil outlet c4 of the electronically controlled proportional valve group 3, and further controlling the oil inlet / outlet direction of the first control oil inlet b3 and the second control oil inlet b4 of the hydraulically controlled proportional closed-loop pump 2; and the control The control module controls the flow rate of the first control oil outlet c3 and the second control oil outlet c4 of the electronically controlled proportional valve group 3 based on the working pressure signal detected by the pressure detection module. This, in turn, controls the flow rate of the first control oil inlet b3 and the second control oil inlet b4 of the hydraulically controlled proportional closed pump 2. The flow direction and flow rate of the first control oil inlet b3 and the second control oil inlet b4 of the hydraulically controlled proportional closed pump 2 control the flow direction and flow rate of the first drive oil port b1 and the second drive oil port b2 of the hydraulically controlled proportional closed pump 2, thereby driving the compression cylinder 100 to reciprocate, ultimately achieving continuous compression of hydrogen.
[0061] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, a high-pressure condenser 4 is provided between the second drive port b2 of the hydraulically controlled proportional closed-loop pump 2 and the second port a2 of the compression cylinder 100.
[0062] In this embodiment, a high-pressure condenser 4 is installed at one oil port of the compression cylinder 100 to replace the flushing valve and cooling system required by the traditional closed pump system for cooling the hydraulic oil. This not only meets the cooling requirements of the hydraulic oil in the closed hydraulic system and effectively avoids overloading of the motor 1, but also effectively reduces the complexity of the entire hydraulic pipeline and the equipment cost of the liquid-driven hydrogen compressor.
[0063] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the electronically controlled proportional valve assembly 3 includes a proportional valve 31, a first one-way sequence valve 32, a second one-way sequence valve 33, and a hydraulically controlled directional valve 34.
[0064] The signal input terminal of the proportional valve 31 is connected to the signal output terminal of the control module as the signal input terminal of the electronically controlled proportional valve group 3.
[0065] The P port of the proportional valve 31 is connected to the signal oil inlet c5 of the electronically controlled proportional valve assembly 3 and the signal oil supply port b5 of the hydraulically controlled proportional closed-circuit pump 2. The A port of the proportional valve 31 is connected to the P port of the hydraulically controlled directional valve 34.
[0066] Port A of the hydraulic directional valve 34 is connected to the first control oil outlet c3 of the electro-hydraulic proportional valve group 3 and the first control oil inlet b3 of the hydraulic proportional closed-loop pump 2. Port B of the hydraulic directional valve 34 is connected to the second control oil outlet c4 of the electro-hydraulic proportional valve group 3 and the second control oil inlet b4 of the hydraulic proportional closed-loop pump 2.
[0067] The oil inlet of the first one-way sequence valve 32 is connected to the first signal oil inlet c1 of the electronically controlled proportional valve group 3 and the first oil port a1 of the compression cylinder 100. The oil outlet of the first one-way sequence valve 32 is connected to the first pilot control oil port x1 of the hydraulically controlled directional valve 34.
[0068] The oil inlet of the second one-way sequence valve 33 is connected to the second signal oil inlet c2 of the electronically controlled proportional valve group 3 and the second oil port a2 of the compression cylinder 100. The oil outlet of the second one-way sequence valve 33 is connected to the second pilot control oil port x2 of the hydraulically controlled directional valve 34.
[0069] Specifically, in this embodiment, the proportional valve 31 is a proportional pressure reducing valve; the hydraulic control directional valve 34 is a pilot-operated two-position four-way hydraulic control directional valve 34; the hydraulic control proportional closed pump 2 includes a swashplate axial piston pump 21, the input shaft of the swashplate axial piston pump 21 is used as the power input end of the hydraulic control proportional closed pump 2 and is connected to the output shaft of the motor 1 for transmission; the first suction / discharge port d1 and the second suction / discharge port d2 of the swashplate axial piston pump 21 are respectively connected to the first oil port a1 and the second oil port a2 of the compression cylinder 100.
[0070] In this embodiment, the electronically controlled proportional valve group 3, by setting a proportional valve 31, a first one-way sequence valve 32, a second one-way sequence valve 33, and a hydraulically controlled directional valve 34, realizes the directional control and displacement control of the swashplate axial piston pump 21 in the hydraulically controlled proportional closed pump 2. The principle is as follows:
[0071] Oil enters through the first control oil inlet b3 and exits through the second suction / discharge port d2 below the swashplate axial piston pump 21. The amount of oil discharged depends on the pressure of the first control oil inlet b3. Oil enters through the second control oil inlet b4 and exits through the first suction / discharge port d1 above the swashplate axial piston pump 21. Similarly, the amount of oil discharged depends on the pressure of the second control oil inlet b4.
[0072] The proportional valve 31 controls the pressure of the first control oil inlet b3 and the second control oil inlet b4 according to the input current from the control module. This pressure value is between 0.6MPa and 1.8MPa. The required displacement is determined by the pressure of the first control oil inlet b3 or the second control oil inlet b4 obtained through the proportional valve 31. Since displacement * speed * pressure = power, the working pressure of the hydraulic proportional closed-loop pump 2 will gradually increase as the compression cylinder 100 compresses hydrogen. To ensure that the maximum power remains unchanged (i.e., constant power control), the working pressure signal of the hydraulic proportional closed-loop pump 2 is collected by the pressure detection module. By converting pressure, power, and displacement, the current input to the proportional valve 31 is determined. This current determines the displacement of the swashplate axial piston pump 21, which in turn determines the power of the motor 1. Therefore, when the pressure increases, reducing the displacement of the swashplate axial piston pump 21 can maintain the power of the motor 1 unchanged (without overload).
[0073] The working principle of the hydraulic directional valve 34 is as follows: it detects the pressure on both sides of the compression cylinder 100. When the compression cylinder 100 completes its stroke, the hydraulic system pressure will increase. When it rises to the set pressure of the one-way sequence valve, the one-way sequence valve opens and pushes the hydraulic directional valve 34 to switch, so as to complete the switching of the proportional valve 31 to supply oil to the first control oil inlet b3 or the second control oil inlet b4. This switching causes the swashplate axial piston pump 21 to switch. After the swashplate axial piston pump 21 switches, the compression cylinder 100 switches. This realizes that after the compression cylinder 100 completes its stroke in one end, the swashplate axial piston pump 21 automatically switches, so that the cylinder moves in the other direction, thus realizing the switching of the cylinder.
[0074] Specifically, the operation process of the reversing control device for the liquid-driven hydrogen compressor in this embodiment is as follows:
[0075] When the liquid-driven hydrogen compressor starts, the hydraulically controlled proportional closed-loop pump 2 supplies oil to the P port of the proportional valve 31 through the signal oil supply port b5 and the signal oil inlet port c5. The oil from the A port of the proportional valve 31 enters the P port of the hydraulically controlled directional valve 34. The oil from the B port of the hydraulically controlled directional valve 34 enters the hydraulically controlled proportional closed-loop pump 2 through the first control oil outlet c3 and the first control oil inlet b3 (the A port of the hydraulically controlled directional valve 34 returns oil). This controls the second suction / discharge port d2 of the swashplate axial piston pump 21 in the hydraulically controlled proportional closed-loop pump 2 to discharge oil (the first suction / discharge port d1 suctions oil). The oil is output from the second drive port b2, passes through the high-pressure condenser 4, and then enters the lower chamber of the compression cylinder 100 through the second port a2, driving the piston of the compression cylinder 100 to move from bottom to top, increasing the pressure in the lower chamber of the compression cylinder.
[0076] When the pressure in the lower chamber of the compression cylinder rises to the set pressure of the second one-way sequence valve 33, part of the pressure oil from the second drive port b2 enters the second pilot control port x2 of the hydraulic directional valve 34 through the second signal oil inlet c2 and the second one-way sequence valve 33. This pushes the hydraulic directional valve 34 to switch, causing the control oil from the proportional valve 31 to switch from outlet A of the hydraulic directional valve 34 to outlet C4 and inlet B4, entering the swashplate axial piston pump 21 in the hydraulic proportional closed pump 2. Oil is discharged from the first suction / discharge port d1 (oil is drawn in from the second suction / discharge port d2), and output from the first drive port b1 through the first port a1 of the compression cylinder 100 into the upper chamber of the compression cylinder 100. This drives the piston of the compression cylinder 100 to move from top to bottom, increasing the pressure in the upper chamber of the compression cylinder. This cycle repeats, driving the compression cylinder 100 to reciprocate and achieve continuous compression of hydrogen.
[0077] It should be noted that during the above-mentioned operation of the liquid-driven hydrogen compressor, the pressure detection module detects the working pressure signal of the hydraulically controlled proportional closed-loop pump 2 in real time. The control module controls the input current of the proportional valve 31 according to the working pressure signal detected by the pressure detection module, thereby controlling the flow rate of the pressure oil passing through the proportional valve 31, and then controlling the flow rate of the pressure oil entering the hydraulically controlled proportional closed-loop pump 2, so as to realize the adjustment of the displacement of the hydraulically controlled proportional closed-loop pump 2.
[0078] In one embodiment, the pressure detection module employs a dual-channel pressure sensor, with the signal output terminal of the dual-channel pressure sensor connected to the signal input terminal of the control module.
[0079] The dual-channel pressure sensor is used to detect the pressure at the first suction / discharge port d1 and the second suction / discharge port d2 of the swashplate axial piston pump 21, and sends the larger of the two pressure values as the working pressure signal of the hydraulically controlled proportional closed-circuit pump 2 to the control module.
[0080] Specifically, in one embodiment, the control module employs a microcontroller. It should be noted that the control function of the control module in this embodiment only needs to control the input current of the proportional valve 31 according to a preset pressure-current matching relationship based on the detected working pressure signal. The control program that outputs the corresponding control current according to the preset pressure-current matching relationship based on the detected working pressure signal is mature prior art. Therefore, the control program executed by the control module in this application does not involve any improvement to the control method itself.
[0081] It should be noted that the specific structure and working principle of the hydraulically controlled proportional closed-loop pump 2 used in this application are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.
