The invention theoretically has the following five working conditions (namely working conditions): 1. standby condition: and (3) after the system is powered on, the system is in a default state, and the system state is monitored in real time to maintain the hydrogen pressure of the pipeline. 2. Hydrogenation working conditions: when the hydrogen in the hydrogen bottle is insufficient, the hydrogen is filled into the hydrogen bottle through the hydrogenation port, and the pressure of the hydrogenation port is higher than that of the bottle during hydrogenation. The check valve prevents the hydrogen from flowing back. 3. Hydrogen supply condition: when the fuel cell is in operation, the integrated bottle valve is opened, high-pressure hydrogen passes through the pressure reducing valve to become low-pressure hydrogen suitable for the operation of the fuel cell, and then the low-pressure hydrogen enters the fuel cell through the main valve. 4. Replacement working conditions: the hydrogen in the bottle is replaced with nitrogen or carbon dioxide, or vice versa with hydrogen. 5. Failure conditions: and when the sensor fails and the temperature, the pressure and the concentration of the hydrogen system are abnormal, the abnormal working condition is entered. The hydrogen supply system needs to be protected under the working condition. When the bottle pressure temperature is too high, the PRD valve is used for discharging hydrogen from the hydrogen bottle, the hydrogen concentration is monitored in real time during discharging, and the discharging rate is adjusted according to the hydrogen concentration, so that the concentration is prevented from reaching the explosion limit.
As shown in fig. 2, a specific control strategy is as follows: 1. the sensor monitors the temperature of the hydrogen bottle valve, the pressure of the pipeline and the concentration of hydrogen around the fuel cell system in real time, and the controller processes the signals and identifies faults of the sensor, such as overtemperature, undertemperature, overpressure, overhigh concentration of hydrogen and the like through AD values. 2. The in-cylinder SOC is estimated from the cylinder air pressure and cylinder temperature. 3. And controlling the opening and closing of a bottle valve, a main valve and a pressure relief valve of the hydrogen supply system according to different working conditions: 1) When the controller is powered on, the standby mode is first entered. Firstly, a switch of a bottle valve is opened, the pressure of a hydrogen bottle is read, and the bottle valve is closed after the reading is finished. In the standby mode, in order to ensure stable hydrogen supply pressure when the power system is started, the valve is opened to supplement air once the air pressure is low. If hydrogen leakage is detected or the bottle pressure is continuously low, the bottle valve is closed, and a fault mode is entered. 2) When the permutation enabling sent by the PC is received, the permutation mode is entered. In this mode, the main valve is closed and the bottle valve directly responds to the PC switch command. If the replacement enable signal is not received in this state, the standby mode is returned. 3) When the hydrogenation enabling sent by the PC is received, and no hydrogen system is in fault, a hydrogenation mode is entered, and the main valve and all bottle valves are closed in the mode. Returning to standby mode 4) when the hydrogen supply system is not faulty and is enabled by operation of the fuel cell, entering an operating mode in which the bottle valve is fully open. And returning to the standby mode when the fuel cell operation enable is not received. 5) And when the hydrogen supply system fault or the sensor failure fault is received, entering a fault mode. In this mode, all the bottle valves are closed, and if an excessive temperature is detected and the hydrogen concentration is normal, the PRD is opened to release. When a replacement enable is received and no hydrogen leakage fault is detected, a replacement mode is entered. 6) The current hydrogen supply system state (SOC, bottle valve and main valve state, fault state) is reported to the fuel cell controller, PC upper computer and other controllers through CAN communication.
