Vessel Mounting Details TRIZ Cases
- Induction-Heated Hydrogen Nozzle to Prevent Freezing Lock
Induction heating warms the hydrogen charging nozzle to stop freeze lock at the receptacle and enable safe separation without overheating.
- Hydrogen Reservoir Connector With Hybrid Metal Sealing Threads
A hybrid aluminum-steel connector keeps high-pressure hydrogen joints gas-tight after repeated reconnection while reducing weight and machining burden.
- Hydrogen Tank Protective Structure for Side-Impact Fire Mitigation
Expandable protective parts absorb side impacts and release fire extinguishing agents to protect compact hydrogen tanks in FCEVs.
- Fuel Container Housing Structure for Vertical Impact Absorption
A stepped multi-case housing bends vertically to absorb collision loads, protecting spaced cylindrical fuel containers with thinner walls.
- Flexible Vessel Mounting Straps for Load Distribution and Orientation
Overlapping flexible straps distribute vessel loads and allow optimal discharge orientation without stressing vessel-mounted lugs.
- Tank Neck Sealing Structure Using an Intermediary Metal Sleeve
A metal cylindrical member carries dual O-ring seals, removing the neck groove and enabling simpler integral molding with stable tank sealing.
- Fuel Tank Stiffening Strut for Pressure Strength Without Volume Loss
A profiled connecting strut locks into blow-molded tank walls to absorb compressive loads without bulky welds or lost fuel volume.
- Vehicle Air Tank Cradle Layout for Service Access and Hood Strength
A cradle-mounted air tank near the wheel well improves service access while preserving hood and vehicle structural integrity.
- Detachable Hydrogen Tank Switching to Prevent Cross-Flow Leakage
Push-rod actuated tank valves let only selected hydrogen tanks feed the fuel cell, preventing cross-flow into standby tanks and leakage.
- Liquefied Gas Electrolyte Dispensing Under Backpressure Limits
Temperature sensing and heating keep liquefied gas electrolyte flow within the mass flow controller range to avoid backpressure errors.
