[0025] Refer to Figures 1 to 6The utility model provides a technical scheme: a gas mixing device, including base 1, the top surface of base 1 is equipped with support frame body 4, the shape of support frame body 4 is specifically the U type structure of opening downward, and it is vertically installed in the top surface middle part of base 1, in order to facilitate the position transfer of base 1, and in the four corners of base 1 are equipped with walking wheel 2, walking wheel 2 is brake universal wheel, and it is convenient for positioning and moving.

[0026] The middle part of support frame body 4 is installed with connecting beam 14, a plurality of stop seats 15 are arranged at the both sides of connecting beam 14, and the placing space (not marked in the drawing) is formed between the adjacent two stop seats 15, the size of the placing space is consistent with the size of gas cylinder 8, and each placing space is used for placing gas cylinder 8, and gas cylinder 8 can be positioned after being placed in the placing space, so that unnecessary sliding of gas cylinder 8 is prevented.

[0027] Then, in order to keep each gas cylinder 8 stable during gas release, clamping plate 7 is arranged at the side of each gas cylinder 8, the shape of clamping plate 7 is consistent with the shape of the side of gas cylinder 8, clamping plate 7 is clamped on the side of gas cylinder 8 during use, then the both ends of clamping plate 7 are detachably installed on stop seat 15, and clamping plate 7 presses gas cylinder 8 in the placing space at this time. Figure 2 As shown in the drawing, knob 22 is arranged movably at the both ends of clamping plate 7, knob 22 is plum-blossom knob, convenient to hold by hand, the bolt part of knob 22 is movably arranged in the both ends of clamping plate 7 during use, then the free end of knob 22 is screw-threadedly installed in fixed seat 16, and fixed seat 16 is installed on stop seat 15, so that clamping plate 7 can be conveniently detached and conveniently installed, and gas cylinder 8 can also be quickly fixed and replaced.

[0028] Further, the application also includes mixing tank 11 and mixing channel 13, mixing tank 11 is used for preliminary mixing of gas, and the length of mixing channel 13 is relatively large, so that the gas after passing through mixing tank 11 continues to mix in mixing channel 13.

[0029] As shown in the drawing, two gas conveying pipes 6 are installed at one end of mixing tank 11, pipe joint 17 is arranged at one end of mixing channel 13, and the end, away from pipe joint 17, of mixing channel 13 is connected with the end, away from gas conveying pipe 6, of mixing tank 11 through contraction pipe 12, wherein the diameter of contraction pipe 12 is smaller than the diameter of mixing tank 11 and mixing channel 13, so that the channel with thin middle and thick both ends is formed. Figure 1 And Figure 2As shown, a plurality of connecting pipes 5 are arranged on each gas conveying pipe 6, and the free ends of the connecting pipes 5 are connected with connecting valves 9, which are detachably arranged on the bottle mouths of the gas cylinders 8. The connecting valves 9 are pressure reducing valves, which have the same function as the pressure reducing valves arranged on the gas cylinders, i.e. to regulate the pressure and avoid the large amount of gas flowing out.

[0030] In order to increase the rolling degree of the gas passing through the mixing channel 13, a supporting shaft 18 is coaxially arranged in the mixing channel 13, and at least one helical blade 19 is arranged on the surface of the supporting shaft 18. In actual use, the number of the helical blades 19 is at least two and they are arranged at equal intervals on the surface of the supporting shaft 18. A plurality of air vents 20 are arranged on the surface of the helical blade 19. It should be noted that the air vents 20 are arranged at the middle part of the helical blade 19. When the gas enters the mixing channel 13, the gas will contact with the helical blade 19.

[0031] Further, in order to enable the mixing tank 11 and the mixing channel 13 to operate stably, the side surfaces of the mixing tank 11 and the mixing channel 13 are provided with connecting seats 21, which are detachably arranged on the side surfaces of the supporting frame body 4. Specifically, the connecting seats 21 are bolted on the side surfaces of the supporting frame body 4.

[0032] The specific mixing method of the hydrogen and the nitrogen will be described below. There are two specific methods.

[0033] The first method is to connect one of the gas conveying pipes 6 with a hydrogen preparation device, such as an electrolytic cell or a hydrogen generator. In use, one of the connecting pipes 5 on the gas conveying pipe 6 is connected with the hydrogen preparation device, and the remaining connecting pipes 5 are in a closed state. Because a valve is arranged on each connecting pipe 5, the valve can be closed. Alternatively, a plurality of connecting pipes 5 can be respectively connected with a hydrogen preparation device, so that more hydrogen can be introduced. The other gas conveying pipe 6 is connected with the gas cylinder 8. At this time, the gas stored in the gas cylinder 8 is nitrogen. In this way, the nitrogen and the hydrogen can be introduced into the mixing tank 11 to be mixed.

[0034] The second method is that a plurality of gas cylinders 8 store both hydrogen and nitrogen. In this way, the use is simple. In use, the gas cylinders 8 are placed on the base 1, and the corresponding gas cylinders 8 are connected with the connecting pipes 5. When the gas cylinders storing hydrogen and the gas cylinders storing nitrogen are opened, the hydrogen and the nitrogen can be mixed.

[0035] Based on the above embodiment, the application further comprises a control part, that is, a flow valve 10 is installed on one end of each gas conveying pipe 6 close to the mixing tank 11, the flow valve 10 can accurately measure the flow of hydrogen and nitrogen, and a gas pressure sensor is further arranged on each gas conveying pipe 6, the gas pressure sensor is connected with the controller, and it should be noted that the gas pressure sensor should be installed close to the flow valve 10 to avoid interference of the single connecting pipe 5 on the gas pressure sensor and the flow valve 10;

[0036] The gas pressure sensor and the flow valve 10 are respectively connected with the controller, the controller is a host, a PLC logic controller or a control mainboard, when installed, the controller is arranged in the control box 3, the surface of the control box 3 is provided with a display and operation buttons connected with the controller, the control box 3 is arranged on the side surface of the support frame body 4, and an operator can directly adjust the gas flow and other operations through the operation buttons, that is, the flow of the flow valve 10 can be accurately controlled through the operation buttons to realize the mixing ratio of hydrogen and nitrogen, and the gas pressure sensor arranged can respectively monitor the gas pressure of the gas conveying pipe 6.

[0037] Based on the above embodiment, the application works as follows, no matter whether the hydrogen is produced by a hydrogen production device or stored in the gas cylinder 8, when the hydrogen and nitrogen enter the inside of the mixing tank 11, the hydrogen and nitrogen collide together to preliminarily mix the nitrogen and hydrogen. At this time, the mixed gas enters the contraction pipe 12, and it should be noted that the mixing tank 11, the contraction pipe 12 and the mixing channel 13 constitute a mixing structure similar to a Venturi mixer, when the mixed gas enters the mixing channel 13 from the contraction pipe 12, the volume suddenly increases, the gas rolling degree is further intensified, and then the gas further mixes between the spiral blades 19.

[0038] Therefore, in the actual application process, the pipe joint 17 is connected with the gas conveying pipeline through a pipeline, at this time, the gas passing through the pipe joint 17 is the mixed nitrogen and hydrogen.

[0039] Based on the above embodiment, further optimization can be made, the control box 3 is externally provided with an alarm, the alarm is connected with the controller, and the alarm can immediately alarm when the gas pressure in the gas conveying pipe 6 changes by more than a preset value.

[0040] Based on the above embodiment, further optimization can be made, the bottom of the mixing channel 13 is provided with an end cover (as indicated by an arrow A), and the pipe joint 17 is installed in the middle of the end cover, the edge of the end cover is detachably connected with the bottom of the mixing channel 13 through a flange, so that the support shaft 18 can be taken out after the end cover is opened. Figure 6

[0041] ​Based on the above embodiment, it needs to be further explained that although the application is described by mixing hydrogen and nitrogen, the device can also mix any two gases, and only needs to connect the gas-filled starting pipe with the connecting pipe 5 during mixing.

[0042] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
