DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0025] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0026] The utility model relates to a kind of active safety devices for hydrogen fuel cell vehicle collision, as shown in Figure 1 It includes hydrogen storage tank, launching mechanism for launching hydrogen storage tank, control mechanism for controlling launching mechanism to launch hydrogen storage tank, and connecting mechanism connected between launching mechanism and control mechanism for connection and cooperation.
[0027] As shown in Figure 3 The hydrogen storage tank includes tank body 13, hydrogen storage tank support 14 arranged on the side of tank body 13, and high-pressure quick connector one 31 connected to the bottom of tank body 13. The launching mechanism includes launching chamber 11 for loading hydrogen storage tank, and elastic element 12 axially arranged inside launching chamber 11 and can be sleeved on the side of hydrogen storage tank. As an example, as shown in Figure 2 The launching chamber 11 is a hollow tubular structure with a clamping groove inside, in which the spring is axially sleeved in the clamping groove, the tank body 13 is inserted into the axial space in the center of the spring, and can be axially arranged on the spring through the hydrogen storage tank support 14.
[0028] The control mechanism comprises a control unit 22, a transmission unit 1 23, a transmission unit 2 24 and a collision sensor unit 21 electrically connected to the control unit 22.
[0029] Specifically, the transmission unit 1 23 and the transmission unit 2 24 each comprise a circumferential drive electrically connected to the control unit 22 and a transmission gear connected to the active end of the circumferential drive in the axial direction. As an example, the control unit 22 is a PLC programmable logic controller, the collision sensor unit 21 is a collision sensor commonly used in automobile airbags, and the circumferential drive is a motor. When the collision sensor senses a collision, the PLC programmable logic controller can control the motor to operate respectively to drive the transmission gear to rotate.
[0030] The connecting mechanism comprises a limiting pin 41 meshing with the transmission gear in the transmission unit 2 24 to limit the movement of the hydrogen storage tank, a high-pressure quick connector 2 32 for detachable connection with the high-pressure quick connector 1 31 at the bottom of the hydrogen storage tank, and a connecting piece 33 having one end meshing with the transmission gear in the transmission unit 1 23 and the other end fixedly connected with the outer ring of the high-pressure quick connector 2 32. The other end of the high-pressure quick connector 2 32 away from the high-pressure quick connector 1 31 is used for connection with the hydrogen delivery pipeline. In this embodiment, the high-pressure quick connector 2 32 and the high-pressure quick connector 1 31 are commonly used quick connector female and quick connector male on the market, for example, the quick connector produced by JPE brand.
[0031] Specifically, the circumferential side of the launching chamber 11 is provided with a through hole 111 arranged in the radial direction, which is used for the insertion of the limiting pin 41. In use, the limiting pin 41 is meshed with the transmission gear in the transmission unit 2 24, and can be driven to slide in the through hole 111 by the rotation of the transmission gear, so as to extend into or out of the launching chamber 11. The connecting piece 33 is meshed with the transmission gear in the transmission unit 1 23, and can drive the outer ring of the high-pressure quick connector 2 32 to move axially by the rotation of the transmission gear, so as to disconnect the high-pressure quick connector 2 32 from the high-pressure quick connector 1 31.
[0032] Specifically, as shown in Figure 5 the tank body 13 is inserted into the launching chamber 11 and placed on the spring, and then the tank body 13 is axially pressed. With the cooperation of the hydrogen storage tank support 14, the spring can be further compressed. At this time, the high-pressure quick connector 1 31 at the bottom of the tank body 13 extends out of the bottom of the launching chamber 11 and is connected with the high-pressure quick connector 2 32 to form a communication, and the motor in the transmission unit 2 24 is controlled by the PLC programmable logic controller to rotate, so that the transmission gear drives the limiting pin 41 to extend radially into the launching chamber 11 and be located on the top surface of the hydrogen storage tank support 14, thereby effectively limiting the axial reset of the spring, and finally fixing the tank body 13 in the launching chamber 11.
[0033] When the collision occurs, the collision sensor transmits a signal to the PLC programmable logic controller, the PLC programmable logic controller controls the motor in the transmission unit 23 and the transmission unit 24 to rotate, so that the two groups of transmission teeth drive the limiting bolt 41 and the connecting piece 33 to move, at this time, the limiting bolt 41 and the connecting piece 33 respectively release the axial restriction of the tank body 13 and the connection between the high-pressure quick connector 31 and the high-pressure quick connector 32, so that the hydrogen storage tank is ejected from the launch chamber 11 under the reset potential of the spring, to prevent the damage of the hydrogen storage tank caused by the collision and produce greater security risks.
[0034] Further, as shown in Figure 4 In order to prevent the tank body 13 from moving in the launch chamber 11, a limiting groove 141 is formed on the surface of the hydrogen storage tank support 14, which is matched with the limiting bolt 41, when the limiting bolt 41 extends into the launch chamber 11, it can be inserted into the limiting groove 141, so that the relative rotation of the tank body 13 in the launch chamber 11 caused by the vibration of the vehicle running can be effectively limited.
[0035] Further, as shown in Figure 3 In order to form a buffer when the hydrogen storage tank is ejected and falls to the ground, a wireless control pressure relief valve 15 connected with the control unit 22 is communicated with the top of the tank body 13, and the tank body 13 is further wrapped with a protective airbag 16; when the tank body 13 is ejected from the launch chamber 11, the control unit 22 can control the wireless control pressure relief valve 15 to open, so that the hydrogen in the tank body 13 can be filled into the protective airbag 16 to form an air cushion, when the tank body 13 falls, the air cushion can be formed to produce a buffer, so as to further reduce the damage to the tank body 13 and improve the safety.
[0036] Finally, it should be noted that: the above only for the preferred embodiments of the present application, and not for limiting the present application, although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for those skilled in the art, it still can modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent replacement for part of the technical features. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
