Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gas mixing technology, specifically to a high-precision natural gas-hydrogen blending ratio adjustment system. Background Technology
[0002] Hydrogen-blended natural gas pipelines are the most feasible way to achieve long-distance, large-scale, and efficient hydrogen transportation. Hydrogen-blended natural gas pipelines can make full use of existing natural gas pipeline network facilities. By considering hydrogen blending on the basis of the existing natural gas pipeline network, natural gas and hydrogen are deeply integrated, which is conducive to improving the combustion effect of the mixture and reducing carbon emissions. This will promote the accelerated decarbonization of industries, construction and other fields, thereby promoting the development of a low-carbon economy.
[0003] Due to the molecular weight difference between natural gas and hydrogen, their flow rates differ, potentially leading to uneven mixing and reduced blending efficiency. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a high-precision natural gas-hydrogen blending ratio control system to address this issue. Utility Model Content

[0009] Furthermore, the lower end of the hydrogen pipeline is equipped with a second guide plate corresponding to the plurality of orifices, a first gap is left between the two first guide plates, and a second gap is left between the first guide plate and the second guide plate.
[0010] Furthermore, both the first guide plates and the second guide plate are inclined, and both ends of the natural gas pipeline and the upper end of the hydrogen pipeline are equipped with connecting flange plates.
[0011] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes a crossbar rotatably engaged with the lower end of the hydrogen pipe, two first bevel gears mounted at both ends of the crossbar, and a vertical rod and a second bevel gear rotatably engaged with the periphery of the hydrogen pipe.

[0026] In this embodiment, a natural gas pipeline 1 is included. A groove 2 is opened on the periphery of the natural gas pipeline 1. A hydrogen pipeline 3 is installed at the groove 2. A first air inlet 4 and multiple holes 5 are opened at the upper and lower ends of the hydrogen pipeline 3, respectively.
[0027] Specifically, the natural gas pipeline 1 has a second inlet 11 and an outlet 12 at both ends, and two first guide plates 13 corresponding to the second inlet 11 are symmetrically installed inside one end of the natural gas pipeline 1.
[0028] Specifically, the lower end of the hydrogen pipeline 3 is equipped with a second guide plate 14 corresponding to multiple orifices 5. A first gap 15 is left between the two first guide plates 13, and a second gap 16 is left between the first guide plate 13 and the second guide plate 14. Through the two first guide plates 13, natural gas can be guided to the bottom of the hydrogen pipeline 3 to prepare for the next step of mixing natural gas and hydrogen.
[0029] Specifically, both first guide plates 13 and second guide plates 14 are inclined, and both ends of the natural gas pipeline 1 and the upper end of the hydrogen pipeline 3 are equipped with connecting flange plates. The multiple connecting flange plates facilitate connection with other transmission gas pipelines.
[0030] In this embodiment, a cylinder 6 is rotatably fitted at the middle of the lower end of the hydrogen pipeline 3, and baffles 7 corresponding to multiple pores 5 are installed on the periphery of the cylinder 6.
[0031] Specifically, rubber sealing gaskets 23 are installed on the lower side of multiple baffles 7. The rubber sealing gaskets 23 correspond to the pores 5, and the multiple rubber sealing gaskets 23 are rotatably fitted on the inner side of the lower end of the hydrogen pipeline 3. By setting the rubber sealing gaskets 23, hydrogen can be prevented from leaking out from the gap between the baffles 7 and the pores 5, thereby achieving the sealing of the pores 5.
[0032] In this embodiment, a groove 8 is provided inside the lower end of the hydrogen pipeline 3, a column 9 is installed on the axial part of the lower side of the cylinder 6, a plurality of teeth 10 are installed in the middle of the column 9, the plurality of teeth 10 surround the periphery of the column 9, the column 9 is rotatably fitted in the groove 8, and a drive assembly that is connected to the plurality of teeth 10 is installed inside the hydrogen pipeline 3.
[0033] Specifically, the drive assembly includes a crossbar 17 rotatably fitted inside the lower end of the hydrogen pipe 3, two first bevel gears 18 mounted at both ends of the crossbar 17, and a vertical rod 19 and a second bevel gear 20 rotatably fitted inside the periphery of the hydrogen pipe 3.

The other third bevel gear 21 meshes with another first bevel gear 18 to rotate, thereby driving the crossbar 17 to rotate synchronously. The first bevel gear 18 meshes with multiple teeth 10 to rotate, thereby driving the cylinder 6 and effectively improving the overall linkage.
[0034] Specifically, the drive assembly also includes two third bevel gears 21 installed at both ends of the vertical rod 19 and a motor 22 installed around the hydrogen pipeline 3. The output end of the motor 22 is fixed to the shaft of the second bevel gear 20.

[0036] Working steps: 1. When it is necessary to adjust the size of multiple holes 5, start the motor 22. The output end of the motor 22 drives the second bevel gear 20 to rotate, so that the second bevel gear 20 meshes with one of the third bevel gears 21 and rotates, thereby driving the vertical rod 19 to rotate synchronously, so that another third bevel gear 21 meshes with another first bevel gear 18 and rotates, thereby driving the horizontal rod 17 to rotate synchronously, so that one of its first bevel gears 18 meshes with multiple teeth 10 and rotates, thereby driving the cylinder 6 to rotate in the groove 8, so that the cylinder 6 drives multiple baffles 7 and multiple rubber sealing gaskets 23 to rotate synchronously, thereby adjusting the blocking gap of multiple holes 5 as needed, and realizing the adjustment of the size of multiple holes 5;
[0037] 2. When it is necessary to blend natural gas and hydrogen, natural gas and hydrogen are first introduced into natural gas pipeline 1 and hydrogen pipeline 3 respectively from the second air inlet 11 and the first air inlet 4. At this time, natural gas is introduced into the first gap 15 through the two first guide plates 13, while hydrogen passes through multiple pores 5 and is introduced into the first gap 15 through the second guide plate 14, so that natural gas and hydrogen are mixed together. Then the mixed natural gas and hydrogen pass through the second gap 16 and are discharged from the outlet 12, thereby realizing the blending of natural gas and hydrogen.
[0038] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
