Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of hydrogen refueling equipment technology, and more particularly to a hydrogen refueling device. Background Technology

[0015] The detection element is used to detect the resistance value of the circuit. When the resistance value is less than the preset resistance value, the static electricity is eliminated.

[0029] Before adding hydrogen, the robot drives the hydrogen filling component and the static eliminator structure to move towards the hydrogen filling port of the component to be filled, so that the static eliminator assembly comes into contact with the component. This allows static electricity on the component to be discharged sequentially through the static eliminator assembly and the grounding component, eliminating the need for manual static elimination. After the robot detects the static electricity has been eliminated, it continues to move towards the component. Because the static eliminator assembly is in contact with the component, it cannot move. The hydrogen filling component and the sliding component can then move relative to the static eliminator assembly until the hydrogen filling component connects to the hydrogen filling port of the component, at which point hydrogen is added. The hydrogen filling device provided in this application eliminates the need for manual static elimination, avoiding omissions due to human error and improving safety. Attached Figure Description

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.
[0051] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.
[0052] As the background art demonstrates, static electricity needs to be eliminated before adding hydrogen because electrostatic sparks can easily ignite leaked hydrogen. In existing technology, a grounding clamp is used to hold the device to the vehicle door, and the clamp is connected to a grounding stake to discharge static electricity.
[0053] However, the above-mentioned methods of static electricity removal rely on manual handling, which is prone to omissions and poses safety hazards.
[0054] Based on this, the hydrogen refueling device provided in this application includes a robot, a hydrogen refueling component, and an antistatic structure. The robot is equipped with a grounding component, and the hydrogen refueling component is connected to the robot. The antistatic structure includes an antistatic assembly and a sliding component. The sliding component is slidably mounted on the antistatic assembly and is connected to the robot. The antistatic assembly is electrically connected to the grounding component.
[0055] Before adding hydrogen, the robot drives the hydrogen filling component and the static eliminator structure to move towards the hydrogen filling port of the component to be filled, so that the static eliminator assembly comes into contact with the component. This allows static electricity on the component to be discharged sequentially through the static eliminator assembly and the grounding component, eliminating the need for manual static elimination. After the robot detects the static electricity has been eliminated, it continues to move towards the component. Because the static eliminator assembly is in contact with the component, it cannot move. The hydrogen filling component and the sliding component can then move relative to the static eliminator assembly until the hydrogen filling component connects to the hydrogen filling port of the component, at which point hydrogen is added. The hydrogen filling device provided in this application eliminates the need for manual static elimination, avoiding omissions due to human error and improving safety.
[0056] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the drawings, the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar components or components having the same or similar functions throughout. The described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of this application. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0057] The hydrogenation apparatus provided in this application refers to... Figures 1 to 4 As shown, it includes: a robot 100, a hydrogen refueling component 200, and an anti-static structure 300. The robot 100 is provided with a grounding component 111; the hydrogen refueling component 200 is connected to the robot 100.
[0058] The static eliminator structure 300 includes a static eliminator component 310 and a slider 320. The slider 320 is slidably disposed on the static eliminator component 310 and is connected to the robot 100.
[0059] The static eliminator 310 is electrically connected to the grounding component 111. The static eliminator 310 is configured to come into contact with the component to be hydrogenated under the drive of the robot 100, so as to eliminate the static electricity of the component to be hydrogenated through the grounding component 111.
[0060] The robot 100 is configured to detect whether static electricity has been eliminated, and when static electricity is eliminated, to move the hydrogen refueling component 200 and the sliding component 320 toward the component to be hydrogenated, so that the hydrogen refueling component 200 is connected to the hydrogen filling port 10 of the component to be hydrogenated.
[0061] In practical implementation, the hydrogen refueling device can be a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle, and the hydrogen refueling device 200 can be a hydrogen refueling gun of a hydrogen refueling machine. The hydrogen refueling gun is connected to the robot 100, and the robot 100 can drive the hydrogen refueling gun to move so that the hydrogen refueling gun can refuel the hydrogen filling port 10 of the hydrogen fuel cell vehicle with hydrogen. There is no need for manual hydrogen refueling, which saves time and effort and improves efficiency.
[0062] It should be noted that since the slider 320 is slidably mounted on the antistatic assembly 310, and both the slider 320 and the hydrogenation component 200 are connected to the robot 100, the robot 100 can simultaneously drive the hydrogenation component 200, the slider 320, and the antistatic assembly 310 to move toward the component to be hydrogenated.
[0063] The robot 100 is equipped with a grounding component 111. For example, the grounding component 111 can be a grounding block. The metal shell of the robot 100 is connected to the grounding pile of the hydrogen refueling station through the grounding block, which can release the static electricity of the robot 100 and the hydrogen refueling unit 200 and prevent static sparks from causing danger.
[0064] The static eliminator 310 is electrically connected to the grounding component 111. Specifically, the static eliminator 310 can be electrically connected to the grounding component 111 on the robot 100 via an insulated flexible wire.
[0065] Specifically, before refueling with hydrogen, the robot 100 moves the hydrogen refueling component 200 and the static eliminator 300 together toward the hydrogen refueling port 10 of the hydrogen fuel cell vehicle. This allows the static eliminator 310 to come into contact with the metal casing surrounding the hydrogen refueling port 10, thereby dissipating static electricity from the hydrogen fuel cell vehicle sequentially through the static eliminator 310 and the grounding component 111. This eliminates the need for manual static elimination, preventing omissions due to human error and improving safety.
[0066] Understandably, by setting up robot 100 to detect whether static electricity has been eliminated, and ensuring that hydrogen is added only after the static electricity has been eliminated, safety is guaranteed.
[0067] When robot 100 detects the elimination of static electricity in the component to be hydrogenated, robot 100 continues to move towards the component. Since the sliding member 320 is slidably mounted on the static eliminator 310, and the static eliminator 310 abuts against the component to be hydrogenated, the static eliminator 310 cannot move. Therefore, the sliding member 320 and the hydrogen refueling component 200 move relative to the static eliminator 310 until the hydrogen refueling component 200 connects to the hydrogen filling port 10 of the component to be hydrogenated, thus filling the hydrogen filling port 10 with hydrogen. In this way, there is no need to reposition the hydrogen refueling device, improving the efficiency of hydrogen refueling.
[0068] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the static eliminator 310 includes a support member 311 and a conductive member 312 disposed on the support member 311.
[0069] The sliding member 320 is sleeved on the support member 311, and the end of the conductive member 312 away from the sliding member 320 is located outside the support member 311. The conductive member 312 is electrically connected to the grounding member 111.
[0070] Specifically, since the slider 320 is connected to the robot 100, the slider 320 is sleeved on the support 311, and the conductive element 312 is disposed on the support 311, the robot 100 can drive the slider 320, the support 311 and the conductive element 312 to move toward the hydrogen-adding component.
[0071] Understandably, the end of the conductive element 312 furthest from the sliding element 320 is located outside the support element 311, so that the conductive element 312 can come into contact with the part to be hydrogenated. Furthermore, since the conductive element 312 is electrically connected to the grounding element 111, static electricity on the part to be hydrogenated can be discharged sequentially through the conductive element 312 and the grounding element 111. Thus, no manual static electricity removal is required, improving safety.
[0072] The slider 320 is sleeved on the support 311, and the slider 320 can move along... Figure 3 The slider 320 slides relative to the support 311 in the +X or -X direction indicated by the middle arrow. Since both the slider 320 and the hydrogen filling component 200 are connected to the robot 100, when the static eliminator 310 abuts against the component to be hydrogenated, the hydrogen filling component 200 can also move relative to the static eliminator 310, so that the hydrogen filling component 200 can move toward the component to be hydrogenated until the hydrogen filling component 200 is connected to the hydrogen filling port 10 of the component to be hydrogenated.
[0073] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the robot 100 has a detection component, which is electrically connected to the grounding component 111, and the sliding component 320 is electrically connected to the detection component.
[0074] The static elimination structure 300 also includes an insulating component 340, which is sleeved on the support member 311, and a conductive member 312 is sleeved on the insulating component 340.
[0075] The support member 311 is configured to slide relative to the conductive member 312 and abut against the hydrogen-to-be-hydrogenated member under the drive of the robot 100 when the conductive member 312 abuts against the hydrogen-to-be-hydrogenated member, so that the conductive member 312, the hydrogen-to-be-hydrogenated member, the support member 311, the sliding member 320, the detection member and the grounding member 111 together form a passage.
[0076] The detection element is used to detect the resistance value of the circuit. When the resistance value is less than the preset resistance value, the static electricity is eliminated.
[0077] The insulating component 340 is sleeved on the support member 311, and the conductive component 312 is sleeved on the insulating component 340. That is, the insulating component 340 is disposed between the conductive component 312 and the support member 311. The insulating component 340 can isolate the conductive component 312 from the support member 311 to achieve the insulation effect, and can also reduce the sliding resistance between the conductive component 312 and the support member 311. The conductive component 312 can slide relative to the support member 311 together with the insulating component 340.
[0078] Specifically, in the initial state, the end of the conductive element 312 away from the sliding element 320 is located outside the support element 311. When the robot 100 drives the entire static elimination assembly 310 to move toward the hydrogen filling port 10 of the hydrogen-to-be-hydrogenated component, the conductive element 312 located outside the support element 311 first comes into contact with the hydrogen-to-be-hydrogenated component, so that the static electricity on the hydrogen-to-be-hydrogenated component can be discharged in sequence through the conductive element 312 and the grounding element 111.
[0079] When the conductive element 312 abuts against the part to be hydrogenated, and the robot 100 continues to move toward the part to be hydrogenated, since the conductive element 312 cannot move, the support element 311 and the sliding element 320 move relative to the conductive element 312 along... Figure 3 Move in the +X direction as indicated by the middle arrow until the support 311 comes into contact with the part to be hydrogenated.
[0080] Since the conductive element 312 abuts against the component to be hydrogenated and is electrically connected to the grounding element 111, and the sliding element 320 is sleeved on the support element 311 and electrically connected to the detection element, which in turn is electrically connected to the grounding element 111, the conductive element 312, the component to be hydrogenated, the support element 311, the sliding element 320, the detection element, and the grounding element 111 together form a circuit. The detection element is used to detect the resistance value of the circuit. When the resistance value is less than a preset resistance value, it indicates that the static electricity on the component to be hydrogenated has been eliminated. This ensures the safety of the hydrogenation device. For example, the preset resistance value can be 2 ohms, or it can be other values; this application embodiment does not impose excessive limitations on this.
[0081] It should be noted that when the resistance value of the circuit detected by the testing device is greater than or equal to the preset resistance value, it indicates that the static electricity on the part to be hydrogenated has not been eliminated, and other grounding measures need to be taken to discharge the static electricity to ensure the safety of the hydrogenation process.
[0082] It should also be noted that when the conductive element 312 is in contact with the hydrogen-adding component and the support element 311 is not in contact with the hydrogen-adding component, the conductive element 312, the hydrogen-adding component, the support element 311, the sliding element 320, the detection element and the grounding element 111 do not form a circuit. At this time, the resistance detected by the detection element is close to infinite (greater than the preset resistance value).
[0083] After the electrostatic discharge of the hydrogen-to-be-hydrogenated component is detected by the detection device, the robot 100 continues to move toward the hydrogen-to-be-hydrogenated component. Since the conductive component 312 and the support component 311 are both in contact with the hydrogen-to-be-hydrogenated component at this time, the conductive component 312 and the support component 311 cannot move. The robot 100 can only drive the sliding component 320 and the hydrogen-to-be-hydrogenated component 200 to move toward the hydrogen-to-be-hydrogenated component, so that the sliding component 320 and the hydrogen-to-be-hydrogenated component 200 move relative to the support component 311 until the hydrogen-to-be-hydrogenated component 200 is connected to the hydrogen filling port 10 of the hydrogen-to-be-hydrogenated component.
[0084] The conductive element 312 is electrically connected to the grounding element 111, and the sliding element 320 is electrically connected to the detection element. Exemplarily, a first mounting port 3122 can be provided on the conductive element 312, and a second mounting port 321 can be provided on the sliding element 320. One end of the insulated flexible wire is connected to the conductive element 312 via the first mounting port 3122, and the other end of the insulated flexible wire is electrically connected to the grounding element 111. Another end of the insulated flexible wire is connected to the sliding element 320 via the second mounting port 321, and the other end of the insulated flexible wire is connected to the detection element.
[0085] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 3 As shown, the conductive member 312 has a protrusion 3121, and the support member 311 is provided with a first stop 3111, which is located on the side of the protrusion 3121 near the slider 320.
[0086] The static elimination structure 300 also includes a first elastic element 330, which is sleeved on the support member 311. The two opposite ends of the first elastic element 330 abut against the protrusion 3121 and the first stop 3111, respectively.
[0087] When the first elastic member 330 is relaxed, the end of the conductive member 312 away from the sliding member 320 is located outside the support member 311; when the first elastic member 330 is tightened, the end of the support member 311 is flush with the end of the conductive member 312.
[0088] It should be noted that when the first elastic member 330 is relaxed, that is, in the initial state, the end of the conductive member 312 away from the sliding member 320 is located outside the support member 311, so that the conductive member 312 can come into contact with the part to be hydrogenated.
[0089] When the support member 311 is relative to the conductive member 312 along Figure 3 The first elastic element 330 is compressed (that is, the first elastic element 330 is tightened) as indicated by the middle arrow in the +X direction. The end of the support 311 is flush with the end of the conductive element 312 so that the support 311 comes into contact with the part to be hydrogenated.
[0090] For example, the first elastic element 330 can be a spring or other elastic components, and the embodiments of this application do not impose too many restrictions on it.
[0091] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 3 As shown, the support member 311 is also provided with a second stop portion 3112. The second stop portion 3112 is located on the side of the protrusion 3121 away from the first stop portion 3111. The second stop portion 3112 abuts against or disengages from the protrusion 3121.
[0092] Thus, the second stop portion 3112 is located on the side of the protrusion 3121 away from the first stop portion 3111, and the second stop portion 3112 abuts against the protrusion 3121 (see reference). Figure 3 As shown in the figure, this can prevent the conductive component 312 from detaching from the support component 311, thereby improving the reliability of the static elimination assembly 310.
[0093] Understandably, when the support 311 is relative to the conductive member 312 along... Figure 3 When moving in the +X direction as indicated by the middle arrow, the second stop 3112 of the support member 311 disengages from the protrusion 3121 of the conductive member 312 (not shown in the figure).
[0094] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 3 As shown, the insulating assembly 340 includes a first insulating member 341, which includes a first insulating portion 3411 and a second insulating portion 3412 connected to the first insulating portion 3411.
[0095] The first insulating portion 3411 is located on the side of the protrusion 3121 facing the support member 311, and the second insulating portion 3412 is located on the side of the protrusion 3121 facing the first elastic member 330.
[0096] Understandably, the first insulating portion 3411 is located on the side of the protrusion 3121 facing the support member 311, and the second insulating portion 3412 is located on the side of the protrusion 3121 facing the first elastic member 330. This can isolate the protrusion 3121 of the conductive member 312 from the support member 311 and the first elastic member 330, so that the conductive member 312 and the support member 311 can achieve an insulating effect. Thus, when the support member 311 and the conductive member 312 respectively come into contact with the hydrogen-adding member, a circuit can be formed, so that the detection member can detect the resistance of the circuit.
[0097] It should be noted that when the support member 311 is relative to the conductive member 312 along... Figure 3 When moving in the +X direction as indicated by the middle arrow, since the second insulating part 3412 is located on the side of the protrusion 3121 facing the first elastic member 330, the protrusion 3121 can prevent the second insulating part 3412 from moving synchronously with the support member 311, thereby preventing the first insulating member 341 from detaching from the protrusion 3121.
[0098] It should also be noted that when the first elastic element 330 returns from the tightened state to the relaxed state, the first elastic element 330 drives the conductive element 312 relative to the support element 311 along... Figure 3 When moving in the +X direction as indicated by the middle arrow, since the second insulating part 3412 is located on the side of the protrusion 3121 facing the first elastic member 330, the first elastic member 330 can drive the second insulating part 3412 to move synchronously in the +X direction, thereby preventing the first insulating member 341 from disengaging from the protrusion 3121. For example, the first insulating member 341 can be an insulating ring.
[0099] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 3 As shown, the insulating assembly 340 also includes a second insulating member 342, which includes a third insulating portion 3421 and a fourth insulating portion 3422 connected to the third insulating portion 3421.
[0100] The third insulating part 3421 is located on the side of the first stop part 3111 facing the conductive member 312, and the fourth insulating part 3422 is located on the side of the first stop part 3111 facing the first elastic member 330.
[0101] Understandably, the third insulating part 3421 is located on the side of the first stop part 3111 facing the conductive member 312, and the fourth insulating part 3422 is located on the side of the first stop part 3111 facing the first elastic member 330. This can isolate the first stop part 3111 of the support member 311 from the conductive member 312 and the first elastic member 330, so as to achieve an insulating effect between the conductive member 312 and the support member 311.
[0102] It should be noted that the fourth insulating part 3422 abuts against the first stop part 3111 and the first elastic member 330, which can prevent the second insulating member 342 from disengaging from the first stop part 3111. For example, the second insulating member 342 can be an insulating ring.
[0103] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the static elimination structure 300 also includes a second elastic member 350, which is sleeved on the support member 311. The two opposite ends of the second elastic member 350 abut against the first stop portion 3111 and the sliding member 320, respectively.
[0104] When the second elastic element 350 is tightened, the hydrogen filling element 200 is connected to the hydrogen filling port 10 of the element to be hydrogenated.
[0105] Specifically, during static elimination, the robot 100 drives the sliding member 320 relative to the support member 311 along... Figure 3When moving in the +X direction as indicated by the middle arrow, the second elastic element 350 is compressed (that is, the second elastic element 350 is tightened). At this time, the hydrogen filling element 200 is connected to the hydrogen filling port 10 of the element to be hydrogenated, and the hydrogen filling element 200 fills hydrogen into the hydrogen filling port 10.
[0106] After hydrogen refueling is completed, robot 100 moves sliding member 320 relative to support member 311 along... Figure 3 When the movement is in the X direction as indicated by the middle arrow, the second elastic element 350 springs back to the initial position, realizing the automatic reset function.
[0107] For example, the second elastic element 350 can be a spring or other elastic components, and the embodiments of this application do not impose too many restrictions on it.
[0108] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the support member 311 also has a third stop portion 3113, which is located on the side of the slider 320 away from the first stop portion 3111. The third stop portion 3113 abuts against or disengages from the slider 320.
[0109] Thus, the third stop portion 3113 is located on the side of the slider 320 away from the first stop portion 3111, and the third stop portion 3113 abuts against the slider 320 (see reference). Figure 3 As shown in the figure, this can prevent the slider 320 from detaching from the support 311, thus improving the reliability of the static elimination structure 300.
[0110] Understandably, when the slider 320 is relative to the support 311 along... Figure 3 When moving in the +X direction as indicated by the middle arrow, the third stop 3113 of the support member 311 disengages from the sliding member 320 (not shown in the attached figure).
[0111] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 3 As shown, the support 311 has an installation channel 3114, and at least a portion of the hydrogen refueling component 200 is projected toward the support 311 into the installation channel 3114. The hydrogen refueling component 200 is connected to the hydrogen filling port 10 of the component to be refueled via the installation channel 3114.
[0112] Specifically, since at least a portion of the hydrogen refueling component 200 is projected toward the support 311 within the mounting channel 3114, when the hydrogen refueling component 200 moves relative to the static eliminator 310, the hydrogen refueling component 200 can extend into the mounting channel 3114 and connect with the hydrogen filling port 10 of the component to be refueled, thereby filling the hydrogen filling port 10 with hydrogen.
[0113] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the robot 100 includes a robotic arm 110 and a mounting component 120 disposed on the robotic arm 110. The mounting component 120 can be a bracket. The robotic arm 110 can be connected to the bracket by a flange, a snap-fit connection, or a bolt connection, or other methods.
[0114] It should be noted that the hydrogenation component 200 and the sliding component 320 can be connected to the mounting component 120 by bolts respectively, and the hydrogenation component 200, the sliding component 320 and the support component 311 are coaxially arranged so that at least part of the orthogonal projection of the hydrogenation component 200 toward the support component 311 is located in the mounting channel 3114 of the support component 311.
[0115] Those skilled in the art will understand that the hydrogenation apparatus provided in this application comprises a robot 100, a hydrogenation component 200, and an antistatic structure 300. The robot 100 is equipped with a grounding component 111, and the hydrogenation component 200 is connected to the robot 100. The antistatic structure 300 includes an antistatic assembly 310 and a sliding member 320. The sliding member 320 is slidably disposed on the antistatic assembly 310 and is connected to the robot 100. The antistatic assembly 310 is electrically connected to the grounding component 111.
[0116] Before adding hydrogen, the robot 100 drives the hydrogen filling component 200 and the static eliminator 300 to move towards the hydrogen filling port 10 of the component to be filled, so that the static eliminator 310 comes into contact with the component to be filled. This allows static electricity on the component to be discharged sequentially through the static eliminator 310 and the grounding component 111, eliminating the need for manual static elimination. After the robot 100 detects the static elimination, it continues to move towards the component to be filled. Because the static eliminator 310 is in contact with the component, it cannot move. The hydrogen filling component 200 and the sliding component 320 can move relative to the static eliminator 310 until the hydrogen filling component 200 connects to the hydrogen filling port 10 of the component to be filled, at which point the hydrogen filling component 200 adds hydrogen to the hydrogen filling port 10. The hydrogen filling device provided in this application eliminates the need for manual static elimination, avoiding omissions due to human error and improving safety.
