Background Art
[0002] Considering that the global carbon emission zero and ESG efforts are in progress, the industry's demand for carbon footprint and green energy is increasing day by day. Without corresponding countermeasures, it will affect the related development of the industry in the near future, and in particular, some enterprises will fall into a crisis of survival. In addition, hydrogen energy is a clean energy, and the technology of hydrogen production equipment has also developed.
[0003] Refer to Taiwan Patent Publication No. I550135. This publication discloses a hydrogen production device. In this hydrogen production device, at least one set of main conversion shunt is provided outside the main body, and at least one set of pre-conversion shunt, transformer and post-conversion shunt are provided inside the main body. After the power line is connected to the main conversion shunt, it is connected to the pre-conversion shunt, transformer, post-conversion shunt and inside the electrolysis groove. By contacting the pre-conversion shunt, transformer and post-conversion shunt with a plurality of sets of electrolysis grooves, taking the pre-conversion shunt, transformer and post-conversion shunt as a unit, a plurality of sets of electrolysis grooves can be assembled by the pre-conversion shunt and the post-conversion shunt, and a large amount and rapid production of oxyhydrogen gas (that is, a mixed gas of hydrogen and oxygen) can be achieved.
[0004] In addition, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, Taiwan Patent Publication No. I639765 discloses a composite green energy purifier. The composite green energy purifier includes a housing body 91, a filtration module 92, an electrolysis unit 93, and a partition base 94. The housing body 91 has a water suction port and a gas discharge port 911. A lid body 912 is provided at the opening of the water suction port. The filtration module 92 is installed in the housing 91. The filtration module 92 includes a first filtration segment 921 and a second filtration segment 922. The electrolysis unit 93 is installed in the housing body 91. A heating device 931 is provided in the electrolysis unit 93. The partition base 94 is installed in the housing body 91 and is installed between the filtration module 92 and the electrolysis unit 93. The partition base 94 has a pipe body 941 and at least one hole. The hole is installed at the bottom of the partition base 94. When water is added to the water suction port, the water flows into the electrolysis unit 93 through the hole of the partition base 94, and the heating device 931 of the electrolysis unit 93 heats the water to turn it into water vapor. The water vapor sequentially passes through the pipe body 941, the first filtration segment 921, and the second filtration segment 922 to separate water and gas, and discharges the gas from the gas discharge port to the outside of the housing body 91. Thereby, water and gas are effectively separated, the water resources that have not been evaporated in the gas are recycled, and the energy-saving effect is achieved.
[0005] Based on the improvement of hydrogen production technology, the economic value of using hydrogen energy as an energy source has improved, and related applications continue to develop. However, the focus of the prior art is on the production efficiency of hydrogen gas and the separation technology of water and gas. After hydrogen gas is produced, it is discharged and used through pipelines, without considering how to use hydrogen energy efficiently and without waste, which may result in energy waste. Therefore, there is room for improvement in the prior art.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention
[0019] Since the technical features and actual effects of the present invention can be described in detail and can be realized according to the content of the specification, the preferred embodiments shown in the drawings will be described in more detail below. First, the present invention provides a hydrogen gas supply device. As shown in FIG. 1, in the first preferred embodiment of the present invention, this hydrogen gas supply device includes a hydrogen production unit 10, a water storage tank 20, and a control unit 30. The hydrogen production unit 10 includes a main body 11 and a gas discharge pipe 12. The main body 11 is capable of producing oxyhydrogen gas by electrolysis. Since how to produce a large amount of oxyhydrogen gas rapidly and improve the quality of the produced oxyhydrogen gas is the prior art as disclosed in Taiwan Patent Publication No. I550135 and Taiwan Patent Publication No. I639765, the detailed description of the internal structure of the main body 11 is omitted here. The gas discharge pipe 12 protrudes from one side of the main body 11 and communicates with the inside of the main body 11 to discharge the oxyhydrogen gas produced in the main body 11. Also, one end of the gas discharge pipe 12 away from the main body 11 is a gas discharge end. Preferably, as shown in FIG. 1, in the first preferred embodiment of the present invention, an exhaust valve 120 is provided at the gas discharge end of the gas discharge pipe 12.
[0020] As shown in FIG. 1, the gas discharge pipe 12 of the hydrogen production unit 10 is drilled through the water storage tank 20, so that in the process of gas (i.e., oxyhydrogen gas) flowing from the inside of the main body 11 through the gas discharge pipe 12 to the gas discharge end, it flows through the inside of the water storage tank 20. During use, when the water storage tank 20 is filled with water, a water cooling effect can be given to the gas discharge pipe 12. Further, when the gas discharge pipe 12 passes through a connecting pipe and the connecting pipe is located in water, if a small amount of gas leaks, the gas is directly discharged and dissolved in the water. Therefore, the risk of hydrogen gas leakage can be reduced.
[0021] Furthermore, the hydrogen production unit 10 includes an exhaust segment 121. The exhaust segment 121 is provided in the middle of the gas discharge pipe 12 and is located in the water storage tank 20. Preferably, the exhaust segment 121 includes a relief valve, so that when the air pressure in the gas discharge pipe 12 exceeds a preset value, the excess gas is discharged into the water in the water storage tank 20.
[0022] Furthermore, the hydrogen production unit 10 includes a flow rate sensor 122. The flow rate sensor 122 is provided at a location close to the exhaust valve 120 at the gas discharge end of the gas discharge pipe 12 and can detect the discharge flow rate of the gas discharge pipe 12.
[0023] The control unit 30 can communicate with the flow rate sensor 122 and the main body 11 of the hydrogen production unit 10 by an electrical signal, that is, it is electrically connected or signal-connected. Electrical connection means that the control unit 30 is connected to the flow rate sensor 122 and the main body of the hydrogen production unit 10 by wiring, so that it can receive the electrical signal transmitted from the flow rate sensor 122 and can adjust the hydrogen production rate of the hydrogen production unit 10. Signal connection means that the control unit 30 receives the electrical signal transmitted from the flow rate sensor 122 by a wireless signal and adjusts the hydrogen production rate of the hydrogen production unit 10 by a wireless signal. By doing so, when the flow rate sensor 122 detects a large gas flow rate, the control unit 30 reduces or sets to zero the hydrogen production rate of the hydrogen production unit 10 to prevent the supply amount of hydrogen gas from exceeding the usage amount and causing danger. When the flow rate sensor 122 detects a small gas flow rate, the control unit 30 can increase the hydrogen production rate of the hydrogen production unit 10 to meet the demand for hydrogen gas at the gas discharge end.
[0024] Preferably, in the first preferred embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, a water supply pipe 21 is further provided in the water storage tank 20. The water supply pipe 21 is provided at a location close to the bottom of the water storage tank 20 and communicates with the inside of the main body of the hydrogen production unit 10, so that the water stored in the water storage tank 20 can be supplied to the hydrogen production unit 10 as a raw material for hydrogen production.
[0025] According to the above technical features, the water storage tank 20 can supply the water source required by the hydrogen production unit 10, can keep the temperature of the gas discharge pipe 12 low, and can eliminate concerns about the safety of gas leakage.
[0026] As shown in FIG. 2A, the second preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a hydrogen energy uninterruptible power supply system. This hydrogen energy uninterruptible power supply system includes the hydrogen gas supply device and the power generation device 40 of the first preferred embodiment. The power generation device 40 includes a power generation module 41 and an output module 42. The power generation module 41 is connected to the gas discharge end of the hydrogen production unit 10 of the hydrogen gas supply device, so that the power generation device 40 and the main body 11 of the hydrogen production unit 10 are respectively located on both sides of the water storage tank 20. That is, when the gas flows from the main body 11 to the power generation device 40 through the gas discharge pipe 12, it necessarily flows through the water storage tank 20, so that the water storage tank 20 achieves effects such as water cooling and dissolution of a small amount of leaked gas. In the second preferred embodiment of the present invention, the power generation device 40 and the main body 11 are respectively located on opposite sides of the water storage tank 20. However, in practice, the power generation device 40 and the main body 11 may be located on adjacent sides of the water storage tank 20. For example, the gas discharge pipe 12 is an L-shaped pipe.
[0027] By connecting the main body 11, the water storage tank 20, and the power generation module 41 in series, the water storage tank 20 provides a large heat capacity and is interposed between the power generation module 41 that generates heat and the hydrogen production unit 10, preventing the operating temperature of the entire hydrogen energy uninterruptible power supply system from being too high and posing a danger.
[0028] The power generation module 41 generates electricity using the oxyhydrogen gas discharged from the gas discharge end 12. For example, the power generation module 41 may be a fuel cell or a combination of an internal combustion engine and a generator, and may oxidize hydrogen gas to generate electrical energy. The output module 42 is electrically connected to the power generation module 41 and can receive the power generated by the power generation module 41 and output it to the outside. The output module 42 may have functions such as converting alternating current to direct current and distributing and outputting current.
[0029] The output module 42 of the power generation device 40 may further include a shunt. This shunt diverts the power generated by the power generation module 41, outputs power externally through the first power supply path O1, and returns the power to the hydrogen production unit 10 through the second power supply path O2 to assist in power for hydrogen production. Since the shunt is a prior art, its detailed description is omitted here.
[0030] The output module 42 may further have the function of converting direct current and alternating current, for example, also serving as a conversion shunt according to the Taiwan Patent Publication No. I550135. The output module 42 may further include other electronic circuit segments to adjust the effect of the output power.
[0031] Thereby, when the power demand is large, the power generated by the power generation device 40 is preferentially output externally through the first power supply path O1 and used by the user. On the other hand, when the power demand is small and the power generation device 40 can generate excess power, in addition to outputting power externally through the first power supply path O1, the power is returned to the hydrogen production unit 10 through the second power supply path O2 to assist in hydrogen production and improve the yield of oxyhydrogen gas. Preferably, due to the conversion and diversion functions of the output module 42, the second power supply path O2 may be combined with the control circuit of the DC system. For example, in combination with pulse-width modulation (PWM), fuzzy logic, and artificial intelligence (AI), a stepless control range is provided to adjust the yield of oxyhydrogen gas in the hydrogen production unit 10 and supply it to the power generation device 40, improving the energy utilization efficiency.
[0032] Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 2A, the main body 11 includes an intake pipe 13. The intake pipe 13 is provided on one side of the main body 11 and communicates with the inside of the main body 11. The power generation module 41 of the power generation device 40 includes a steam discharge pipe 411. The steam discharge pipe 411 is connected to at least one of the heat pump and the intake pipe 13 of the hydrogen production unit 10, so that the steam generated by the combination of the internal combustion engine and the generator or the fuel cell is transported to the heat pump for utilization, or transported to the main body of the hydrogen production unit 10 and condensed into water inside the main body 11 and then used for hydrogen production. The steam discharge pipe 411 may supply steam to the heat pump and the main body 11 of the hydrogen production unit 10 simultaneously through a shunt pipe. In order to improve the hydrogen production efficiency, Taiwan Patent Publication No. I639765 discloses raising the temperature during electrolysis by a heating device. In the second preferred embodiment of the present invention, by returning the steam generated when the power generation device 40 generates power to the main body 11 of the hydrogen production unit 10, the consumption energy required for heating is reduced, and the hydrogen production unit 10 can produce oxyhydrogen gas in a mode with less consumption energy, improving the energy utilization efficiency of the hydrogen energy uninterruptible power supply system of the present invention. According to this mode, frequent opening and closing of the hydrogen production unit 10 can be avoided, maintaining the hydrogen production unit 10 in a standby state like frequency conversion, and avoiding the drawback that a large amount of power consumption is required due to the temperature drop after shutdown and the temperature rise after restart.
[0033] Also, as shown in FIG. 2B, the gas discharge pipe 12A may further include at least one gas storage portion 123A so as to increase the accommodation space for hydrogen oxygen gas in the gas discharge pipe 12A. In the present preferred embodiment, the gas discharge pipe 12A has a plurality of the gas storage portions 123A. Each of the gas storage portions 123A is tubular. By doing so, when the hydrogen production rate of the main body 11 is high, the unused hydrogen oxygen gas of the power generation device 40 can be stored in the plurality of gas storage portions 123A. When the power generation device 40 needs to improve the power generation efficiency, for example, when the external power suddenly cuts off, extra hydrogen oxygen gas is provided for a short time for power generation, achieving the effect of improving the flexibility of power supply of the hydrogen energy non-stop power supply system and delaying the power outage. By storing the hydrogen oxygen gas in this way, it is safer than storing hydrogen gas at high pressure. All of these gas storage portions 123A are located in water, further enhancing the safety.
[0034] As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the hydrogen energy non-stop power supply system according to the third preferred embodiment of the present invention is different from the second preferred embodiment in that the output module 42 of the power generation device 40 outputs power to the outside by the shunt and outputs power to the power storage unit D' for storage.
[0035] As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the power storage unit D' may receive the electrical energy generated by the output module 42 through the third power supply path O3, or may receive the electrical energy supplied from the outside through the fourth power supply path O4. Further, the power storage unit D' may output electrical energy through the fifth power supply path O5, or may supply power to the hydrogen production unit 10 through the sixth power supply path O6 to assist in hydrogen production. The control unit 30 communicates with at least one of the hydrogen production unit 10, the power storage unit D', and the power generation device 40 by an electrical signal, and adjusts the power distribution situation according to the power supply situation of each of the power supply paths O1, O2, O3, O4, O5, O6 and the power amount of the power storage unit D'. Based on this information, the hydrogen production rate of the hydrogen production unit 10 can be adjusted. Thereby, it is possible to avoid insufficient supply of hydrogen and oxygen gas, or the accumulation of hydrogen and oxygen gas in the system and the danger caused by the too high content.
[0036] Also, as shown in FIG. 3, a heat collecting plate 50 and a thermoelectric device 60 are further provided in the hydrogen energy non-stop power supply system. The heat collecting plate 50 is connected to the power generation device 40 and can absorb the heat generated by the power generation device 40 by heat conduction or heat radiation, thereby achieving the heat dissipation effect of the power generation device 40. The heat collecting plate 50 is further connected to a heat pump 51, and the thermal energy generated by the power generation module 41 can be effectively utilized. The thermoelectric device 60 is provided between the heat collecting plate 50 and the water storage tank 20, and can generate electricity by the temperature difference between the heat collecting plate 50 and the water storage tank 20 due to the thermoelectric effect. The power generated by the thermoelectric device 60 is returned to the control unit 30 through the seventh power supply path O7 as shown in FIG. 3, so as to further control the main body 11 of the hydrogen production unit 10, or directly returned to the main body 11 of the hydrogen production unit 10 to assist in hydrogen production. The power generated by the thermoelectric device 60 may be directly stored in the power storage unit D'.
[0037] Mainly output power to the demand side and, as a sub - function, output power to the energy storage unit D', which can enhance the power output effect of the entire system. When the external power system fails, the hydrogen - energy non - power - outage system of the present invention can continuously supply power to the outside within a certain period of time to achieve the non - power - outage effect.
[0038] Furthermore, the energy storage unit D' may be further connected to green - energy power generation units according to usage conditions, such as wind turbines, solar panels, biogas power generation units, hydro - power generation units, tidal - power generation units, and biomass power generation units, to further improve the stability of the entire system and the non - power - outage effect. In the case of better hydrogen production efficiency and higher hydrogen - electricity conversion efficiency, the hydrogen - energy non - power - outage system of the present invention may be further expanded. For example, the energy storage unit D' supplies power to a dehumidification device to condense moisture in the air into water and discharge it into the water storage tank 20 as a raw material for the operation of the hydrogen production unit 10.
[0039] Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 5, the steam discharge pipe 411 of the power generation module 41 may be connected to the turbine power generation device 80. Preferably, for example, the turbine power generation device 80 includes a turbine 81, a power generation segment 82, and an inter - cooler 83. The steam discharge pipe 411 is connected to the intake pipe 13 by the turbine 81. That is, the high - temperature steam discharged from the power generation module 41 rotates the rotation shaft of the turbine 81 through the turbine 81 and then is discharged into the main body 11 of the hydrogen production unit 10 via the intake pipe 13.
[0040] As shown in FIG. 5, the power generation segment 82 is connected to the rotating shaft of the turbine 81. After the rotating shaft of the turbine 81 is driven by high-pressure steam, it causes the power generation segment 82 to generate electricity. Further, the power generation segment 82 is electrically connected to the power storage unit D', accumulates the generated electrical energy in the power storage unit D', and achieves the effect of uniformly distributing the energy. In FIG. 5, the connection relationship between the turbine 81 and the power generation segment 82 does not limit the specific structure of the power transmission mechanism between the turbine 81 and the power generation segment 82. For example, it is for distinguishing from other connection forms such as pipeline connection and electrical connection. The intercooler 83 is connected to the turbine 81, can collect the heat of the high-temperature gas discharged from the turbine 81, and can further supply heat to the outside. For example, it uses the temperature difference between the intercooler 83 and the air to generate electricity by other thermoelectric devices.
[0041] According to the above description, the steam discharge pipe 411 is connected to at least one of the heat pump, the intake pipe 13 of the hydrogen production unit 10, and the turbine 81, and effectively utilizes the steam discharged from the power generation module 41.
[0042] The usage situation of the third preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with examples. 1. Usually, when the power storage unit D' is filled with electrical energy, the control unit 30 switches to supply power to the hydrogen production unit 10 with the power generated by the thermoelectric device 60, the turbine power generation device 80, or other green energy power generation units, and supply the electrical energy required for hydrogen production. 2. When the load is high, in addition to directly outputting power to the outside by the output module 42, the control unit 30 can adjust the power storage unit D' to provide the shortage of power demand and quickly respond to the demand in a short time. 3. When there is a continuous high power demand, the control unit 30 can increase the power output from the power storage unit D’ to the hydrogen production unit 10 to increase the hydrogen production rate, generate electricity for a longer time with more oxyhydrogen gas to meet the power demand, and more steam products can also further drive the turbine generator 80 to reflux to the power storage unit D’. 4. When the load decreases, the control unit 30 readjusts the circuit transmission situation and returns the excess power to the power storage unit D’. 5. When green energy cannot be used, such as at night, the electricity consumption is low. The discharge module 42 mainly directly outputs power to the power storage unit D’, and combines the thermoelectric device 60 and the turbine generator 80 to output power to the power storage unit D’. Thereby, the power storage unit D' is recharged to full capacity during the off-peak period of power consumption.
[0043] As shown in FIG. 6, the hydrogen energy uninterruptible power supply system according to the fourth preferred embodiment of the present invention is different from the third preferred embodiment in that it further includes a gas diversion segment 70. The gas diversion segment 70 includes a diversion pipe 71 and an outflow pipe 72. The diversion pipe 71 is connected to the middle of the gas discharge pipe 12 and is located in the water storage tank 20. The outflow pipe 72 is connected to the diversion pipe 71 and extends from one side wall of the water storage tank 20, so that oxyhydrogen gas can be provided to other demand terminals. In the fourth preferred embodiment of the present invention, the diversion pipe 71 is a three-way pipe.
[0044] Furthermore, the gas discharge pipe 12 of the third and fourth preferred embodiments of the present invention may have the gas storage portion 123A shown in FIG. 2B so as to increase the oxyhydrogen gas inside the water storage tank 20. Thereby, when the power supply and demand change within a short time, electricity is generated by the oxyhydrogen gas stored in the gas storage portion 123A, and the effect of eliminating the supply-demand gap is improved.
[0045] According to the above technical features, the hydrogen energy uninterruptible power supply system according to the present invention has the following technical advantages. 1. When the electric power generated by the power generation device 40 is directly output and not at full load or not used temporarily, it is stored in the power storage unit D'. This achieves the effect that the generated electric power can be used in the future, saving energy and not wasting energy consumption. 2. Energy and resource conservation: By-products generated during the operation of the power generation device 40 are further utilized. For example, waste heat is further utilized by the heat pump or the thermoelectric device 60. In addition to supplying the generated steam as the main product to the steam turbine power generation device 80 for power generation, it may also be refluxed to the hydrogen production unit 10 for recycling. 3. Environmental consideration, zero carbon emissions: All of the above power generation forms do not cause carbon emission problems, are in line with the development trend of smart ESG, and can achieve the effect of uninterrupted power supply in the long term. 4. Improvement in the safety of using hydrogen energy: The hydrogen energy uninterruptible power supply system of the present invention directly transports the oxyhydrogen gas from the hydrogen production unit 10 to the power generation device 40 after discharging it, and passes through the water storage tank 20 first to prevent leakage of combustible oxyhydrogen gas. 5. Conventional batteries have a decrease in both voltage and available energy in a low-temperature environment. On the other hand, the hydrogen energy uninterruptible power supply system of the present invention obtains a heat preservation effect for the power storage unit D' by the heat generated in the power generation device 40, and maintains the normal function of the power storage unit D'. 6. The hydrogen gas and oxygen gas generated in the hydrogen production unit 10 are discharged by the gas shunt segment 70 and prepared into an oxyhydrogen flame at 2500 - 3000 °C. After combustion, no carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide is discharged, there is no risk of carbon monoxide poisoning, and no carbon is discharged. 7. When the energy utilization efficiency is acceptable, the hydrogen energy uninterruptible power supply system can be further connected to a dehumidifying device. The water collected by the dehumidifying device is discharged into the water storage tank 20, so that energy and moisture in the air can be fully utilized.
[0046] In each preferred embodiment of the present invention, a water storage tank 20 is provided between the hydrogen production unit 10 and the power generation device 40 as a protective measure for the water source and hydrogen gas use of the hydrogen energy uninterruptible power supply system. However, in other possible embodiments, the water storage tank 20 may be omitted or installed in other forms. For example, the hydrogen production unit 10 is installed adjacent to the power generation device 40, the lengths of the gas discharge pipes 12 and 12A for supplying oxyhydrogen gas are made very short, and the safety of hydrogen gas use can be ensured when the water storage tank 20 is not installed. Also, the water storage tank may be incorporated into the main body 11 of the hydrogen production unit 10. Thereby, the oxyhydrogen gas flows through the water storage tank in the main body 11, is discharged from the main body 11, and is exported to the power generation device 40.
[0047] In summary, the hydrogen energy uninterruptible power supply system of the present invention provides various practical functions, can improve the effect of external power output, fully utilizes energy and resources, can realize uninterruptible power supply during use, and solves the problems of the prior art where energy and resources are not fully utilized.
