Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] It is necessary to consider the direction of the discharge port of the safety valve so that the gas discharged from the safety valve does not strongly face the surrounding people. However, in the case of a hydrogen cartridge tank that is removable and applicable to various applications, it is assumed that it is stored upright when removed, and when attached to an application, the arrangement position, arrangement angle, etc. of the tank differ depending on the application, so the direction of the discharge port of the safety valve cannot be determined unconditionally.

[0005] In view of the above problems, an object of the present disclosure is to provide a hydrogen cartridge tank capable of suppressing the influence on the surroundings by hydrogen discharged from a safety valve that operates when the hydrogen cartridge tank is affected by heat from a flame or the like. Another object is to provide a hydrogen consumption system which is an application supplied with hydrogen by the hydrogen cartridge tank.

Means for Solving the Problem

[0006] As a result of intensive studies, the inventors have found that by reducing the momentum of the gas released from the safety valve (reducing the release energy), the impact on the surroundings due to the release of the gas can be reduced (it is less likely to cause problems) compared to when the momentum is not reduced. And based on this finding, the invention was completed by embodying it.

[0007] This application discloses a hydrogen cartridge tank comprising a tank body for storing hydrogen, wherein the tank body includes a container portion for storing hydrogen, a fusible plug provided in the tank body that opens the plug when a predetermined temperature is reached and releases the hydrogen in the container portion from the discharge port, and a control member having a surface at a position facing the discharge port.

[0008] Further, this application discloses a hydrogen cartridge tank comprising a tank body for storing hydrogen and a case for housing the tank body, wherein the tank body includes a container portion for storing hydrogen and a fusible plug provided in the tank body that opens the plug when a predetermined temperature is reached and releases the hydrogen in the container portion from the discharge port, and the case includes a control member having a surface at a position facing the discharge port. The control member may also serve as a handle of the hydrogen cartridge tank.

[0009] This application discloses a hydrogen consumption system having a storage portion for housing a hydrogen cartridge tank comprising a tank body for storing hydrogen, wherein the tank body includes a container portion for storing hydrogen and a fusible plug provided in the tank body that opens the plug when a predetermined temperature is reached and releases the hydrogen in the container portion from the discharge port, and the storage portion includes a control member having a surface at a position facing the discharge port.

Advantages of the Invention

[0010] According to the present disclosure, when the hydrogen tank is affected by heat from a flame or the like and the hydrogen release is activated, the control member can reduce the release energy of the hydrogen to be released, thereby suppressing the influence on the surroundings.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0012] 1. Basic Structure of Hydrogen Consumption System First, the basic structure of a hydrogen cartridge tank and a hydrogen consumption system, which is an application in which the hydrogen cartridge tank is mounted and hydrogen is used, will be described. Specific matters regarding the reduction of the energy of gas release, which is a characteristic part of the present disclosure, will be described later. Here, the hydrogen cartridge tank and the basic structure of the hydrogen consumption system will be described. FIG. 1 conceptually shows the configuration of a hydrogen consumption system 10 according to one embodiment. Such a hydrogen consumption system 10 includes a hydrogen cartridge tank 50 as a hydrogen supply source, a hydrogen consumption device 20 as a destination for supplying the hydrogen, and a control device 30. This hydrogen consumption system 10 is a system that supplies hydrogen stored in the hydrogen cartridge tank 50 to a fuel cell 21 included in the hydrogen consumption device 20 for power generation. Further, in this embodiment, the hydrogen cartridge tank 50 is configured to be detachable from the hydrogen consumption device 20. This will be described in detail below.

[0013] 1.1. Hydrogen cartridge tank The hydrogen cartridge tank 50 is a container for storing the supplied gas (hydrogen in this embodiment) in a liquid state or a gaseous state. A diagram for explanation is shown in Fig. 2. Fig. 2(a) is an external view of the hydrogen cartridge tank 50 (the tank body 51 contained therein is represented by a dotted line), and Fig. 2(b) is a cross-sectional view along the direction of the axis O of the hydrogen cartridge tank 50. As can be seen from these figures, in this embodiment, the hydrogen cartridge tank 50 has a tank body 51 and a case 58. Further, the tank body 51 includes a liner 52, a reinforcing layer 53, and a protective layer 54 that constitute the container portion, and further has a base 55, an opening / closing valve 56, and a thrombolytic agent 57.

[0014] 1.1.1. Liner The liner 52 is a hollow member that partitions the internal space in the container portion of the tank body 51 and is cylindrical in this embodiment. In the liner 52, the openings at both ends of the body portion 52a having a generally constant diameter are narrowed by the dome-shaped side end portions 52b, and the base 55 is disposed at the narrowed opening 52c. The liner 52 may be made of a material that can hold the material (e.g., hydrogen) contained in its internal space without leakage, and known materials can be used. Specifically, for example, it is made of nylon resin, synthetic resin of polyethylene series, metal such as stainless steel, aluminum, etc. Among them, from the viewpoint of reducing the weight of the tank, the material constituting the liner is preferably synthetic resin. The thickness of the liner 52 is not particularly limited, but is preferably 0.5 mm to 3.0 mm.

[0015] 1.1.2. Reinforcing layer The reinforcing layer 53 is one of the members constituting the container portion. Fibers are laminated over a plurality of layers, and the fibers are impregnated with a cured resin. The layer of fibers is formed by winding fiber bundles around the outer periphery of the liner 52 over a plurality of layers to a predetermined thickness. The thickness of the reinforcing layer 53 and the number of windings of the fiber bundles are not particularly limited because they are determined by the required strength, but are about 10 mm to 30 mm.

[0016] <Fiber bundle> For example, carbon fibers are used for the fiber bundles of the reinforcing layer 53. The fiber bundles are in a belt shape in which carbon fibers are bundled and have a predetermined cross-sectional shape (for example, a rectangular cross-section). Specifically, although not particularly limited, the cross-sectional shape may be a rectangle with a width of 6 mm to 20 mm and a thickness of about 0.1 mm to 0.3 mm. The amount of carbon fibers contained in the fiber bundle is not particularly limited either, but for example, it may be composed of about 36,000 carbon fibers.

[0017] <Impregnated resin> In the reinforcing layer 53, the resin impregnated and cured in the fiber (fiber bundle) is not particularly limited as long as it can enhance the strength of the fiber. Examples of this include thermosetting resins that cure by heat. Specifically, there are epoxy resins containing amine-based or anhydride-based curing accelerators and rubber-based reinforcing agents, unsaturated polyester resins, etc. In addition, resin compositions that cure by mixing a curing agent with an epoxy resin as the main component can also be mentioned. According to this, by reaching and penetrating the fiber layer with this resin composition, which is a mixture, between mixing the main component and the curing agent and until curing, it cures automatically.

[0018] 1.1.3. Protective layer Optionally, a protective layer 54 may be disposed on the outer periphery of the reinforcing layer 53 as one of the members constituting the container part. When provided, for example, glass fibers are wound and resin is impregnated therein. The resin to be impregnated can be considered in the same way as the reinforcing layer 52. Thereby, impact resistance can be imparted to the tank 51. The thickness of the protective layer 54 is not particularly limited, but can be about 1.0 mm to 1.5 mm.

[0019] 1.1.4. Base, on-off valve, thrombolysis The base 55 is a member attached to each of the two openings 52c of the liner 52, is disposed at each of the both ends in the direction of the axis O of the liner 52, functions as an opening for communicating the inside and outside of the container part, and a valve is disposed therein. An on-off valve 56 is disposed on one base 55, and a fusible plug 57 is disposed on the other base 55. The material constituting the base 55 is not particularly limited as long as it has the required strength, and examples thereof include stainless steel and aluminum.

[0020] The on-off valve 56 is closed when the hydrogen cartridge tank 50 is not attached to the hydrogen consumption system 10, and is opened by being pressed by a push rod (not shown) when attaching to the hydrogen consumption device 20 of the hydrogen consumption system 10 as described later.

[0021] The fusible plug 57 is sometimes also called a soluble alloy safety valve, and is a valve that opens the plug when a predetermined temperature is reached to release the gas (hydrogen) in the container part (liner 52). The basic mode of the fusible plug 57 is not particularly limited, and known ones can be used. However, specific modes for controlling the hydrogen released from the fusible plug 57 will be described later.

[0022] 1.1.5. Case The case 58 is a member that encloses a part of the tank body 51 and forms the outer shell of the hydrogen cartridge tank 50, and has a housing 59 and a handle 60. The housing 59 is a cylindrical member and is configured to be able to accommodate at least a part of the tank body 51 inside it. Further, in the housing 59, a hole 59a is provided at a position facing the on-off valve 56 of the accommodated tank body 51, and is configured to allow access to the on-off valve 56 from the outside. Furthermore, in the housing 59, a hole 59b is provided at a position facing the hydrogen dissolving agent 57 of the tank body 51, and the hydrogen dissolving agent 57 is exposed from the hole 59b, and is configured to be able to release the hydrogen released from the hydrogen dissolving agent 57 to the outside. That is, the case 58 houses the liner 52 of the tank main body portion 51 and accommodates the hydrogen dissolving agent 57 so as to be exposed. (However, the specific embodiment for the hydrogen released from the hydrogen dissolving agent 57 will be described later.). The handle 60 is an arch-shaped member disposed at an end of the housing 59 on the side of the hydrogen dissolving agent 57, and the user can carry the hydrogen cartridge tank 50 by holding this handle 60 and perform the operation of attaching and detaching the hydrogen cartridge tank 50 to and from the hydrogen consumption system 10.

[0023] 1.1.6. Others In this embodiment, the cartridge tank 50 is a portable hydrogen tank configured to be portable, and its size and weight are set from this perspective. The allowable pressure of the tank body 51 is not particularly limited, but from the perspective of being portable and being able to supply more hydrogen, the tank body can be one that can store hydrogen at an allowable pressure exceeding 20 MPa and not exceeding 70 MPa.

[0024] In the hydrogen consumption system 10 of this embodiment, a plurality of hydrogen cartridge tanks 50 are provided (for example, three), and hydrogen is filled in each tank body 51. Here, an example where three hydrogen cartridge tanks 50 are arranged is given, and in order to distinguish them, reference numerals 50a, 50b, and 50c are used to represent them. The tank bodies 51 of these hydrogen cartridge tanks 50 may all have the same capacity, or may include tanks of different capacities.

[0025] 1.2. Hydrogen consumption device The hydrogen consumption device 20 is a hydrogen supply destination of the hydrogen cartridge tank 50, and is a device that receives hydrogen and consumes it. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the hydrogen consumption device 20 includes a fuel cell 21, a supply flow path 22, a storage unit 23, a connection device 24, an injection 25, and a pressure gauge 26. Examples of the hydrogen consumption device include devices that achieve the purpose by generating electricity using hydrogen as one of the fuels. Although not particularly limited, examples include power generation and / or power storage devices using fuel cells, automobiles that obtain power from fuel cells, and the like.

[0026] 1.2.1. Fuel Cell The fuel cell 21 is a device that consumes the supplied hydrogen gas. It receives hydrogen supply from the hydrogen cartridge tank 50 and air supply from an air hole (not shown) to generate electricity. The specific configuration of the fuel cell 21 is not particularly limited, and known ones can be used.

[0027] 1.2.2. Supply Flow Path The supply flow path 22 is a path for guiding gas from the hydrogen cartridge tank 50 to the fuel cell 21 and is constituted by piping. In this embodiment, each of the hydrogen cartridge tanks 50a, 50b, and 50c is connected to the fuel cell 21. Here, the pipes 22a, 22b, and 22c extending from each of the hydrogen cartridge tanks 50a, 50b, and 50c merge into one pipe 22d and are connected to the fuel cell 21.

[0028] 1.2.3. Storage Unit The storage unit 23 is a part where the hydrogen cartridge tank 50 is stored when connecting the hydrogen cartridge tank 50 to the hydrogen consumption device 20. The storage unit 23 is a space where the hydrogen cartridge tank 50 is arranged, and is a space surrounded by an inner wall 23b having an opening 23a through which the hydrogen cartridge tank 50 can be taken in and out. A connection device 24 is arranged on the wall portion that is the bottom on the side opposite to the opening 23a in the storage unit 23.

[0029] 1.2.4. Connection Device The connection device 24 is arranged at the connection part of the supply channel 22 with the tank body 51 of the hydrogen cartridge tank 50, connects to the on-off valve 56 of the above-mentioned tank body 51, and operates the opening and closing of the on-off valve 56 of the tank body 51. The connection device 24 has a rod-shaped push rod (not shown) arranged in the storage part 23. When the hydrogen cartridge tank 50 is stored in the storage part 23, the push rod presses the valve body arranged inside the on-off valve 56 to open the on-off valve 56 while connecting it to the supply channel 22.

[0030] 1.2.5. Injection The injection 25 is arranged in the supply channel 22 (supply channel 22d in this embodiment) between the connection device 24 and the fuel cell 21, and controls the supply of hydrogen to the fuel cell 21. The specific form of the injection is not particularly limited, and a flow rate adjustment valve can be mentioned.

[0031] 1.2.6. Pressure gauge The pressure gauge 26 is a pressure gauge that measures the internal pressure of the flow path of the supply channel 22 (the pressure in the pipe) between the connection device 24 and the injection 25. The specific form of the pressure gauge 26 is not particularly limited, but it is configured to be able to transmit the obtained pressure value data to the control device 30.

[0032] 1.3. Control device The control device 30 is a device that controls each device of the hydrogen consumption system 10 and maintains appropriate operation, and is configured to be able to communicate with the push rod of the connection device 24, the injection 25, the pressure gauge 26, etc. The control device 30 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) which is a processor and performs operations, a RAM (Random Access Memory) that functions as a working area, a ROM (Read-Only Memory) that functions as a recording medium, a receiving unit which is an interface for accepting information into the control device 30 regardless of wired or wireless means, and a transmitting unit which is an interface for sending information from the control device 30 to the outside regardless of wired or wireless means. And the control device 30 obtains information from each device, performs necessary operations for operating the hydrogen consumption system 10, and transmits a control signal to the necessary devices. Such a control device 30 can typically be configured by a computer.

[0033] 2. Hydrogen Release from the Safety Valve of the Present Disclosure It is necessary to assume that the hydrogen cartridge tank may be exposed to a flame for some reason while being mounted on the hydrogen consumption system and / or while not being mounted. Therefore, a safety measure is taken by arranging a fusible plug (safety valve) to discharge hydrogen from the tank body (container part) when a predetermined temperature is reached. At this time, hydrogen is released as a gas (i.e., hydrogen gas) from the fusible plug. Since the hydrogen gas has a considerable momentum, in the past (for fixed hydrogen tanks), the influence on the surroundings has been reduced by determining the direction of the release. However, for a removable hydrogen cartridge tank that can be applied to various applications, it is assumed that it is stored upright when removed, and when mounted on an application, the arrangement position, arrangement angle, etc. of the tank vary depending on the application. Therefore, the direction of the hydrogen gas release from the safety valve cannot be generally determined. In contrast, in the present disclosure, by reducing the momentum of the hydrogen gas released from the safety valve (reducing the release energy), the influence on the surroundings caused by the release of the hydrogen gas is reduced compared to when the momentum is not reduced. Specific exemplary embodiments for this purpose will be described below.

[0034] 2.1. First Embodiment (Aspect by Tank Body) As the first specific example of the hydrogen gas release described above in the present disclosure, the tank body 51 can be cited. In addition to the basic configuration described above, the tank body 51 is provided with a gas release control member 100. FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of the tank body 51 as viewed from the direction indicated by the arrow III in FIG. 2(a). That is, FIG. 3 is a view showing attention paid to the part provided with the side end portion 52b of the tank body 51 on the side where the thrombolysis 57 is arranged. Further, FIG. 4 shows a view focusing on the gas release control member 100 and its periphery in a cross section along the line indicated by IV-IV in FIG. 3 and the axis O. As can be seen from FIGS. 3 and 4, the gas release control member 100 of the present embodiment is arranged in the tank body 51 and includes a discharge port 101 provided in the thrombolysis 57, a holding member 102, a control member 103, and a partition member 104.

[0035] 2.1.1. Discharge port The discharge port 101 is an opening through which hydrogen gas provided in the thrombolysis 57 is released. The discharge port 101 is provided in the thrombolysis 57 and is an opening through which hydrogen gas is released when the thrombolysis 57 operates, and determines the direction in which the hydrogen gas is first released. In the present embodiment, as shown by the line A in FIG. 4, the discharge port 101 is opened so that the angle θ formed by the emission direction of the hydrogen gas with respect to the axis O of the tank body 51 is 90 degrees (that is, in the radial direction of the cylindrical tank body). The θ is most preferably about 90 degrees, but it does not need to be exactly 90 degrees, and it may have an angle greater than a certain degree with respect to the axis O. Although not particularly limited, θ may be 45 degrees or more, and 60 degrees or more is preferable. By making θ larger than a certain degree in this way, the path of hydrogen gas release can be extended, it is easier to make the hydrogen gas collide with the control member, and it is easier to reduce the energy of the hydrogen gas. Here, emission means releasing gas with directivity. More specifically, the emission direction (the direction of the line A) is the axial direction of the flow path forming the discharge port 101.

[0036] 2.1.2. Holding member The holding member 102 is a member that holds the control member 103 and the partition member 104. In this embodiment, the holding member 102 is a plate-shaped member that is long in one direction, and two holding members 102 are arranged so as to sandwich the tank body 51 from both sides in the diametrical direction, which is cylindrical. More specifically, the plate-shaped holding member 102 is arranged such that one of its plate surfaces is in contact with the protective layer 54, the longitudinal direction of the plate is parallel to the axis O, and its end extends so as to protrude toward the thrombolysis 57 side. And one holding member 102 and the other holding member 102 of the two holding members 102 are arranged so as to be on the opposite sides with the axis O interposed therebetween. Here, the material constituting the holding member 102 is a material that can maintain its shape without melting even when exposed to high temperatures by a flame or the like. Specifically, although it is not particularly limited, it is preferably made of metal. The same can be considered for the control member 103 and the partition member 104, which will be described later, with respect to the material.

[0037] 2.1.3. Control Member The control member 103 is a member that controls the direction of the hydrogen gas discharged from the discharge port 101. In this embodiment, the control member 103 is a plate-shaped member that is long in one direction, and is bent 90 degrees to one plate surface side at both ends in its longitudinal direction, and its end is formed to extend toward the tank body 51. Such a control member 103 has two bent ends respectively held by the ends of the two holding members 102, and is arranged such that the space between the bent ends extends along the diametrical direction of the tank body 51. At this time, the plate surface of the control member 103 is arranged to face the discharge port 101. Thereby, the discharged hydrogen gas hits the surface of the control member 103 and the energy of its discharge is reduced, and since the hydrogen gas is dispersed, the influence on the surroundings of the discharged gas can be suppressed.

[0038] 2.1.4. Partition Member The partition member 104 is a member that controls the direction of the hydrogen gas discharged from the discharge port 101. In this embodiment, the partition member 104 is a plate-shaped member that is long in one direction, and both ends on the shorter side are formed to be bent 90 degrees to one plate surface side (the side where the discharge port 101 is arranged). Such a partition member 104 is sandwiched between the base 55 and the dissolution plug 57 at the central portion in the longitudinal direction, and is held such that both ends in its longitudinal direction abut against the control member 103. Thereby, the space between the line connecting the discharge port 101 and the control member 103 (line A in FIG. 4) and the container portion of the tank body 51 is partitioned by the partition member 104, and the discharged hydrogen gas hits the partition member 104, suppressing it from heading toward the container portion.

[0039] 2.1.5. Effects, etc. According to the gas discharge control member 100, when the dissolution plug 57 operates and hydrogen gas is discharged, as indicated by arrow B in FIGS. 3 and 4, the hydrogen gas is emitted from the discharge port 101, and the emitted hydrogen gas hits (collides with) the control member 103 and its direction is changed, and it is discharged in a direction opposite to the container portion side. According to this, since the discharged hydrogen gas hits the control member 103 and the energy of its discharge is reduced, the degree to which the discharged hydrogen gas affects the surroundings can be suppressed. Further, since the hydrogen gas after hitting the control member 103 is dispersed, the influence is further suppressed. Furthermore, if the partition member 104 is provided, the hydrogen gas emitted from the discharge port 101 is suppressed from traveling toward the container portion side. For example, even when the hydrogen gas is accompanied by a flame, it is suppressed that the flame reaches the container portion and a further overheated state occurs. Note that emission is discharging the gas with directivity as described above.

[0040] 2.2. Second form (mode according to case) As the second of the above-described specific form examples of hydrogen gas discharge of the present disclosure, the tank body 51 and the case 58 can be cited. In this form, the tank body 51 and the case 58 are provided with a gas discharge control member 110 in addition to the above-described basic configuration. FIG. 5 shows a view focusing on the gas discharge control member 110 and its surroundings from the same viewpoint as FIG. 4. As can be seen from FIG. 5, the gas release control member 110 of this embodiment is disposed in the tank body 51 and the case 58, and includes a discharge port 101, a holding member 102, a control member 111, and a partition member 104 provided in the dissolution thrombus 57. Here, since the discharge port 101, the holding member 102, and the partition member 104 can be considered in the same manner as the above-described gas release control member 100, the same reference numerals are given and the description thereof is omitted.

[0041] In this embodiment, instead of the control member 103 provided in the above-described gas release control member 100, a control member 111 is disposed. The control member 111 is provided on the housing 59 of the case 58. Except that the control member 111 is provided in the case 58, its shape, material, arrangement (positional relationship with the discharge port 101), etc. can be considered in the same manner as the above-described control member 103.

[0042] Such a gas release control member 110 also exhibits the same effects as the above-described gas release control member 100. Further, in this embodiment, the control member 111 may also serve as the function of the handle 60 of the case 58, and by serving as both, it is possible to reduce the number of members.

[0043] 2.3. Third Embodiment (Aspect by Hydrogen Consumption Device) As the third specific example of the hydrogen gas release of the present disclosure, the tank body 51 and the hydrogen consumption device 20 can be cited. In this embodiment, as the gas release control member, the above-described discharge port 101, holding member 102, and partition member 104 are provided. Further, in the gas release control member of this embodiment, as the control member, the inner wall 23b of the storage portion 23 of the hydrogen consumption device 20 is used. That is, the hydrogen gas emitted from the discharge port 101 travels in the radial direction of the container portion of the tank body 51 in the same manner as described above, and collides with the inner wall 23b of the storage portion 23 that functions as a control member. Thus, when the thrombolysis agent 57 is activated and hydrogen gas is released, the hydrogen gas is emitted from the gas outlet 101, and the emitted hydrogen gas hits (collides with) the inner wall 23b of the storage part 23 that functions as a control member, and its direction is changed, and it is released in a direction opposite to the container part. According to this, since the released hydrogen gas collides with the control member and the energy of its release is reduced, the degree to which the released hydrogen gas affects the surroundings can be suppressed. Further, since the hydrogen gas after colliding with the control member is dispersed, the influence is further suppressed. Furthermore, if the partition member 104 is provided, the hydrogen gas emitted from the gas outlet 101 can be suppressed from advancing toward the container part side. For example, even when the hydrogen gas is accompanied by a flame, it is possible to suppress the flame from reaching the container part and entering a further overheated state.
