Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipeline connection, specifically a connection structure for a vehicle-mounted hydrogen supply pressure reducing valve. Background Technology

[0002] In current technologies, hydrogen pressure reducing valves are key pressure control devices in hydrogen energy systems. Their core function is to stably reduce high-pressure hydrogen to the required low pressure and maintain constant pressure under dynamic operating conditions.

[0003] However, in use, the existing pressure reducing valve and hydrogen pipeline are only connected by a single-layer connection mechanism, which has poor sealing performance. When the connection mechanism fails, it is easy to cause hydrogen leakage at the connection point. Therefore, a vehicle-mounted hydrogen supply pressure reducing valve connection structure is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and solve at least one of the technical problems mentioned in the background art, this utility model proposes a vehicle-mounted hydrogen supply pressure reducing valve connection structure.

[0006] Preferably, the pipe connection assembly includes a plug, a fixing sleeve, and a steel ball. The plug is fixed to the end of the pipe seat, and the end of the connecting pipe has a socket. The plug is inserted into the socket and slidably connected thereto. The side of the socket has multiple through grooves, and the steel ball is slidably connected inside the through grooves. The fixing sleeve is slidably connected to the surface of the connecting pipe.

[0007] Preferably, a spring is fixedly connected to the end of the fixing sleeve away from the tube seat, the end of the spring is fixedly connected to the connecting tube, and the steel ball is located inside the fixing sleeve.

[0008] Preferably, the end of the through hole near the pipe seat has an inclined surface, and a sealing seat is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting pipe at a position corresponding to the inclined surface. The sealing seat has a conical structure.

[0009] Preferably, a first sealing ring is installed at the end of the insertion hole, and the first sealing ring is located between the insertion tube and the side wall of the insertion hole.

[0010] Preferably, the surface of the sealing seat has a groove, and a second sealing ring is installed inside the groove.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0022] Specific implementation examples are given below.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-5 As shown, a vehicle-mounted hydrogen supply pressure reducing valve connection structure includes a pipe seat 11 and a connecting pipe 12, which are connected by a pipe connection assembly. A sleeve 13 is fitted onto the surface of the connecting pipe 12. A through hole 16 is formed at the end of the sleeve 13 away from the pipe seat 11. The connecting pipe 12 passes through the through hole 16 and is slidably connected thereto. Flanges 14 are fixedly connected to the ends of the sleeve 13 and the connecting pipe 12 that are close to each other. The two flanges 14 are detachably connected by bolts 15, and a sealing element 17 is installed between the two flanges 14. The pipe connection... The connecting assembly includes a cannula 21, a fixing sleeve 24, and a steel ball 23. The cannula 21 is fixedly connected to the end of the tube seat 11. The end of the connecting tube 12 has a insertion hole 22. The cannula 21 is inserted into the insertion hole 22 and slidably connected thereto. The side of the insertion hole 22 has multiple through slots. The steel ball 23 is slidably connected inside the through slots. The fixing sleeve 24 is slidably connected to the surface of the connecting tube 12. A spring 3 is fixedly connected to the end of the fixing sleeve 24 away from the tube seat 11. The end of the spring 3 is fixedly connected to the connecting tube 12. The steel ball 23 is located inside the fixing sleeve 24.

[0024] In use, the pipe seat 11 is welded to the inlet of the pressure reducing valve, and the end of the connecting pipe 12 is connected to the hydrogen pipeline. The connecting pipe 12 and the pipe seat 11 are directly connected through the pipeline connection mechanism. A sleeve 13 is slidably connected to the connecting pipe 12. The connecting pipe 12 passes through the through hole 16 at the end of the sleeve 13. The sleeve 13 and the connecting pipe 12 are connected and sealed. The sleeve 13 and the pipe seat 11 are sealed twice through the flange 14, bolts 15 and sealing element 17. This can improve the sealing effect, thereby reducing the possibility of hydrogen leakage after the pipeline connection mechanism fails, and improving the safety of hydrogen transportation.

[0025] The pipe connection mechanism includes a fixed sleeve 24, a plug rod, and a steel ball 23. The plug tube 21 is inserted into the plug hole 22 at the end of the connecting tube 12. Then, the fixed sleeve 24 is slid, and the fixed sleeve 24 moves to push the steel ball 23 to slide in the through groove. The side of the steel ball 23 is inserted into the groove 25 to connect the plug tube 21 and the connecting tube 12. The spring 3 pushes the fixed sleeve 24 to move, and the fixed sleeve 24 blocks the side of the steel ball 23 to reduce the possibility of it falling off.

[0026] Furthermore, such as Figure 1-5 As shown, the through hole 16 has a bevel 41 at one end near the tube seat 11, and a sealing seat 42 is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting tube 12 at a position corresponding to the bevel 41. The sealing seat 42 has a conical structure. A first sealing ring 5 is installed at the end of the insertion hole 22, and the first sealing ring 5 is located between the insertion tube 21 and the side wall of the insertion hole 22. A groove is formed on the surface of the sealing seat 42, and a second sealing ring 6 is installed inside the groove.

[0027] In use, the side of the through hole 16 is provided with a bevel 41, which fits against the sealing seat 42 to seal, thereby sealing the sleeve 13 and the sealing seat 42. The first sealing ring 5 is used to seal the insertion tube 21 and the insertion hole 22, and the second sealing ring 6 is used to seal the sealing seat 42 and the bevel 41 at the end of the through hole 16, thereby improving the overall sealing effect.

[0028] Working principle: During use, the pipe seat 11 is welded to the inlet of the pressure reducing valve, and the end of the connecting pipe 12 is connected to the hydrogen pipeline. The connecting pipe 12 and the pipe seat 11 are directly connected through the pipeline connection mechanism. A sleeve 13 is slidably connected to the connecting pipe 12. The connecting pipe 12 passes through the through hole 16 at the end of the sleeve 13. The sleeve 13 and the connecting pipe 12 are connected and sealed. The sleeve 13 and the pipe seat 11 are sealed twice through the flange 14, bolts 15 and sealing element 17. This can improve the sealing effect, thereby reducing the possibility of hydrogen leakage after the pipeline connection mechanism fails, and improving the safety of hydrogen transportation.

[0029] The pipe connection mechanism includes a fixed sleeve 24, a plug rod, and a steel ball 23. The plug tube 21 is inserted into the plug hole 22 at the end of the connecting tube 12. Then, the fixed sleeve 24 is slid, and the fixed sleeve 24 moves to push the steel ball 23 to slide in the through groove. The side of the steel ball 23 is inserted into the groove 25 to connect the plug tube 21 and the connecting tube 12. The spring 3 pushes the fixed sleeve 24 to move, and the fixed sleeve 24 blocks the side of the steel ball 23 to reduce the possibility of it falling off.

[0030] In use, the side of the through hole 16 is provided with a bevel 41, which fits against the sealing seat 42 to seal, thereby sealing the sleeve 13 and the sealing seat 42. The first sealing ring 5 is used to seal the insertion tube 21 and the insertion hole 22, and the second sealing ring 6 is used to seal the sealing seat 42 and the bevel 41 at the end of the through hole 16, thereby improving the overall sealing effect.
