Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of hydrogen refueling machine testing technology, specifically relating to a 70MPa testing system for a hydrogen refueling machine. Background Technology

[0002] The rapid development of the hydrogen fuel cell vehicle industry has placed higher demands on hydrogen refueling infrastructure, with the testing technology for 70MPa high-pressure hydrogen refueling machines facing significant technical bottlenecks. Traditional testing methods often employ mechanical pressure gauges combined with manual recording, resulting in low accuracy (generally exceeding ±1.5% FS) and slow response (each test takes over 30 minutes). Under high-pressure hydrogen conditions, conventional testing devices are at risk of seal failure; industry statistics over the past three years show that safety accidents caused by leaks in testing equipment account for 12.7%. Furthermore, existing systems lack real-time data acquisition capabilities, making it impossible to dynamically analyze key parameters such as pressure curves and flow rate changes during the hydrogen refueling process. The latest technical guidelines from the International Hydrogen Energy Association (IHA) indicate that traditional testing methods suffer from technical deficiencies such as lack of temperature compensation and significant vibration interference under 70MPa conditions, leading to flow rate measurement errors of up to 3.2%. As the driving range of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles exceeds 650 kilometers, the market demand for rapid refueling (5kg refueling within 3 minutes) testing has surged, and the time resolution of existing equipment (minimum 1 second / test) is no longer sufficient to meet the requirements for accurate testing. The industry urgently needs to develop a new type of testing system with explosion-proof certification, automatic compensation function and detection accuracy of ±0.5%. Utility Model Content

The 70MPa calibration device is equipped with an inlet for connecting to the hydrogen refueling machine and an outlet for connecting to a vehicle-mounted compressed hydrogen cylinder. An infrared emitting module is installed on the inlet, and an infrared interface is installed on the outlet. The 70MPa calibration device, the infrared emitting module, and the infrared interface are all connected to a computer via an explosion-proof junction box.

[0004] Furthermore, the 70MPa calibration device includes an inlet valve, a pressure transmitter, a mass flow meter, a pressure gauge, a vent valve, and an outlet valve. The inlet port is connected to the inlet valve of the 70MPa calibration device. The inlet valve, pressure transmitter, mass flow meter, and pressure gauge are connected in sequence. The pressure gauge is connected to the vent port through the vent valve and to the outlet port through the outlet valve. The pressure transmitter and mass flow meter are both connected to an explosion-proof junction box.

[0005] Furthermore, the air inlet is connected to the hydrogen refueling machine via a 70MPa nozzle, and the air outlet is connected to the vehicle-mounted compressed hydrogen cylinder via a 70MPa nozzle.

[0006] Furthermore, the explosion-proof junction box is wired to a computer via a communication interface.

[0007] Furthermore, the explosion-proof junction box is wirelessly connected to the computer via an antenna.

[0008] Furthermore, the explosion-proof junction box is connected to a power / charging interface.

[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0010] This testing system innovatively integrates multi-sensor fusion technology, improving detection accuracy to ±0.5% through triple data verification of pressure transmitters, mass flow meters, and infrared monitoring modules. The system adopts a modular IIC-class explosion-proof design, with core components developed in-house. The pipeline system has a maximum allowable working pressure of 96.25 MPa, ensuring a high safety factor. The calibration software features one-click operation, automatic data processing, and automatic report generation.

Operators can move freely, making the calibration process simple and convenient. Attached Figure Description
