AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing hydrogen supply systems fail to prevent foreign objects or human hands from getting trapped in the release and fastening mechanism when attaching or detaching a hydrogen tank, leading to potential safety hazards and operational issues.
Method used
A hydrogen supply system with a control device that monitors the torque value of the motor controlling the release and fastening mechanism, returning the hydrogen tank to a safe position if the torque exceeds a threshold, thereby preventing entanglement of foreign objects or hands.
Benefits of technology
Prevents foreign objects or human hands from becoming stuck in the mechanism, ensuring safe and reliable attachment and detachment of hydrogen tanks.

Abstract
A hydrogen supply system includes a removable hydrogen tank, a hydrogen consumption device that consumes the hydrogen in the tank, and a control device. The hydrogen consumption device includes a release and fastening mechanism that releases the hydrogen tank from and fastens the hydrogen tank to the consumption device. The release and fastening mechanism includes a motor that controls the release and fastening of the hydrogen tank to and from the consumption device. If the torque value of the motor exceeds a threshold value during the control of the release and fastening of the hydrogen tank to and from the consumption device, the control device returns the hydrogen tank to a position in which a movement process is initiated that detects the threshold being exceeded.
