In the invention, the hydrogen storage device comprises a bottle body and a solid hydrogen storage material arranged in the bottle body, wherein the bottle body sequentially comprises an inner container, a winding layer and a shell from inside to outside; the bottle body is made of an aluminum alloy seamless material and an aluminum alloy liner carbon fiber winding composite material, the volume is 1000-5000 ml, compared with a common steel bottle, the weight can be reduced by 40% -70%, and meanwhile, the bottle body has the advantages of being high in safety and easy to carry, and the aluminum alloy has a unique corrosion resistance characteristic after being oxidized.
The hydrogen storage device can store hydrogen at low pressure, and also comprises a heating element and an electric connection element. The heating element is arranged, so that when the solid hydrogen storage material is pre-stored in the hydrogen storage device, the stored solid hydrogen storage material can be less, or liquid hydrogen, hydrogen storage powder and the like are stored, the internal pressure of the hydrogen storage device is controlled within a low pressure range of 1-3MPa, and the hydrogen pressure is provided for the galvanic pile by the valve body pressure regulator and is 15-50 kpa. When the heating element heats the internal solid hydrogen storage material, the pressure of the internal solid hydrogen storage material is gradually increased due to the temperature rise of the solid hydrogen storage material and the sealing property of the hydrogen storage device, and the internal solid hydrogen storage material is vaporized into hydrogen until reaching the pressure range which can be used, so that the hydrogen storage device can be used in a high-pressure use scene. In this regard, the heating element will extend from the bottom of the bottle into the middle of the bottle in the axial direction (i.e., the length direction) of the hydrogen storage device, and the extension length is limited and is not the same as the entire axial direction of the hydrogen storage device, so that after the heating element extends, the farthest end, or the heating end, is spaced from the mouth of the bottle, and does not hinder the transmission of the solid hydrogen storage material from the mouth of the hydrogen storage device to the outside.
It is to be understood that the heating element extends into the hydrogen storage device and is not limited to extending into the interior of the hydrogen storage device. On the contrary, when the hydrogen storage device is in an irregular shape, the heating element extends into the outer center of the bottle body, and when the hydrogen storage device is in a regular shape, the heating element may extend into the inside of the bottle body, or a part of the heating element extends into the outer center of the bottle body, and another part extends into the inside of the bottle body, and heat is transferred to the solid hydrogen storage material by means of contact conduction or radiation conduction after generating heat, thereby heating the solid hydrogen storage material.
Besides the heating element, the hydrogen storage device also comprises an electric connecting element which is electrically connected with the heating element and is exposed out of the bottle body. The energy source of the heating element is from the electric connecting element, the electric connecting element is connected with an external power supply, after the power is on, the external power supply transmits electric energy to the electric connecting element, then the electric energy is transmitted to the heating element by the electric connecting element, and the heating element converts the electric energy into heat after receiving the electric energy, thereby heating the solid hydrogen storage material and improving the pressure of the solid hydrogen storage material in the hydrogen storage device.
In different embodiments, the heating element is mounted differently.
Example one
Referring to fig. 1, in this embodiment, the heating element 120 does not extend into the interior of the bottle 110, i.e., the heating element 120 heats the solid hydrogen storage material by indirect conduction heating, rather than direct contact heating. In this regard, the bottle body 110 is provided with a groove 111 along the axial direction thereof, the groove 111 may be formed such that the bottom of the bottle body 110 extends toward the inside of the bottle body 110, but the whole bottle body 110 is kept in a closed state, and the irregular shape formed by the protruding portion is the groove 111, so that the groove 111 is separated from the inside of the bottle body 110 by the wall of the bottle body 110, so that the groove 111 is separated from the inside of the bottle body 110, and the groove 111 is still communicated with the outside space of the bottle body 110.
After the tank 111 is provided, the heating element 120 penetrates into the tank 111 and is in clearance fit with the tank 111, that is, the outer surface of the heating element 120 is in close contact with the inner wall of the tank 111, after the heating element 120 generates heat, the heating element 120 directly heats the bottle 110, and then the bottle 110 conducts heat to the solid hydrogen storage material. Under this heating mode, can slow down the heating efficiency to solid-state hydrogen storage material, but can control the heatable temperature of solid-state hydrogen storage material more accurately.
It will be appreciated that the engagement of the heating element 120 with the channel 111 is not limited to the side edges of the heating element 120 each engaging an interior of the channel 111 with a clearance fit. The outer surface of the heating element 120 may be in a tooth shape or a wave shape, the tooth-shaped high position or the wave peak position is in contact with the groove body 111 for conduction, an air layer is also arranged between the tooth-shaped low position or the wave trough position and the inner wall of the groove body 111, the air layer is a heat insulation layer and a conduction layer, the heat generated by the heating element 120 can be indirectly conducted to the bottle body 110 through the air layer, and the total heat conduction amount of the heating element 120 can be controlled.
Further, the heating end of the heating element 120 far from the electrical connection element 130 is not in direct contact with the tank body 111, whereas the length of the tank body 111 in the axial direction of the bottle body 110 is greater than the length of the heating element 120 in the axial direction of the bottle body 110, so that a heating layer 112 is provided between the heating end of the heating element 120 and the tank bottom of the tank body 111, the heating layer 112 is similar to the above air layer, and the heat of the heating element 120 is conducted to the bottle body 110 through the heating layer 112, thereby preventing excessive heating of the solid hydrogen storage material. That is, having the heating layer 112, it acts as both a conductive medium and a thermal insulating medium, somewhat controlling the heating efficiency of the heating element 120 to the solid-state hydrogen storage material.
The heating process of the solid-state hydrogen storage material is more stable and safer by configuring the heat conduction path as a heating element 120-bottle 110-solid-state hydrogen storage material.
When the heating element 120 is installed, the installation end of the heating element 120 is provided with an external thread, and the notch of the groove body 111 is provided with an internal thread; the external threads mate with the internal threads to secure the heating element 120 within the tank 111. Alternatively, the bottom of the bottle body 110 is flush with the notch of the tank body 111, so that the bottom of the bottle body 110 is flat, and when the hydrogen storage device 100 is placed, the bottom of the bottle body 110 can be directly attached to the placing surface, which is different from the shape of the hydrogen storage device 100 in the prior art, and thus, the installation is more convenient. In order to prevent the hydrogen storage device 100 from falling down, at least one anti-slip groove 113 is formed on the bottom end surface of the bottle body 110, and the anti-slip groove 113 is formed in a direction along the radial direction of the bottle body 110 or at a predetermined angle, such as being inclined, with respect to the radial direction of the bottle body 110, or a plurality of anti-slip grooves 113 at predetermined angles, so as to generate friction forces in different directions, thereby further enhancing the anti-slip effect.
Example two
Referring to fig. 2, in this embodiment, the heating element 120 directly contacts the solid hydrogen storage material, so that an opening 114 is formed in the bottle body 110 along the axial direction, the opening 114 communicates with the internal space and the external space of the bottle body 110, and the heating element 120 can penetrate into the bottle body 110 from the opening 114 and seal the opening 114 to prevent the solid hydrogen storage material from overflowing. Meanwhile, the heating element 120 heats the solid-state hydrogen storage material after being powered on.
Similarly, to achieve the sealing of the opening 114, the mounting end of the heating element 120 has an external thread, and the opening 114 has an internal thread; the external threads cooperate with the internal threads to secure the heating element 120 within the bottle body 110.
In any of the above embodiments, the heating element 120 is a resistance wire, and a temperature sensor is disposed in the resistance wire, or the temperature sensor is disposed outside the resistance wire, and detects the temperature of the resistance wire, so that the user can monitor the heating process of the heating element 120 in real time. On the other hand, the electrical connection member 130 has a socket into which an external power source is inserted to receive power.
Preferably or optionally, a receiving step 115 is formed at the position where the bottle body 110 receives the electrical connection element 130, the radial width of the receiving step 115 is greater than that of the heating element 120, the heating element 120 can penetrate through the receiving step 115, and the radial width of the electrical connection element 130 is matched with that of the receiving step 115, so that when the electrical connection element 130 is installed in contact with the receiving step 115, the electrical connection element 130 is blocked by the receiving step 115 as the heating element 120 extends, the displacement of the electrical connection element which can extend into the middle of the bottle body 110 is limited by the receiving step 115, and the electrical connection element 130 partially protrudes out of the bottle body 110, thereby facilitating the user to plug in an external power supply. With the above design, the accommodating step 115 may be additionally fixedly connected to the electrical connection element 130, such as a snap-fit type or a screw type, to further secure the mounting relationship between the heating element 120 and the bottle 110, thereby preventing the heating element 120 from being pushed out after the pressure of the internal solid hydrogen storage material is increased.
It is understood that the electrical connection element 130 may not protrude from the bottle body 110, for example, be slightly recessed at the receiving step 115, or be flush with the receiving step 115, in order to achieve the uniformity of the overall shape of the hydrogen storage device 100. When the electrical connection element 130 is slightly recessed in the accommodation step 115, a sealing end may be additionally disposed at the accommodation step 115, and when the electrical connection element 130 is not connected to an external power source, the sealing end seals the accommodation step 115 to hide the electrical connection element 130 inside, and the electrical connection element 130 is opened when it is needed.
Further preferably, referring to fig. 3, the hydrogen storage device 100 further includes a valve body 140 disposed at the mouth of the bottle body 110; the valve body 140 includes: an air inlet valve 141 communicated with the bottle opening for transferring hydrogen gas into the bottle body 110; the charging valve 142 is communicated with the air inlet valve 141, receives the hydrogen in a single direction and transmits the hydrogen to the air inlet valve 141; a relief valve 143; a pressure regulating valve 144 for controlling the pressure in the valve body 140; an outlet valve 145, communicating with the inlet valve 141, receiving the hydrogen and connecting to a stack, and providing 15-50kpa of hydrogen to the stack; the valve 146 is manually opened and closed.
After the hydrogen storage device is arranged, the hydrogen storage device can be applied to a hydrogen energy moped, the hydrogen energy moped comprises a motor and a galvanic pile connected with the motor, and the galvanic pile is further connected to the hydrogen storage device to receive discharged hydrogen so as to generate electric energy by utilizing hydrogen pressure.
Referring to fig. 4, a temperature control system for a hydrogen storage unit is shown to improve the hydrogen discharge efficiency of a low pressure hydrogen storage unit. The hydrogen storage device comprises a bottle body and a valve body arranged at the gas outlet of the bottle body, wherein after the solid hydrogen storage material in the hydrogen storage device is heated, the valve body pressure regulator provides hydrogen pressure to the galvanic pile to be 15-50kpa, so that when the hydrogen storage device is not used, the internal pressure of the hydrogen storage device is small (low-pressure hydrogen storage in the general sense), and the harm to users can not be caused, and liquid hydrogen, hydrogen powder and the like can be stored in the hydrogen storage device. When the hydrogen storage device is used or the internal hydrogen discharging efficiency is improved, the hydrogen storage device can be heated, and therefore, the temperature control system further comprises temperature monitoring equipment and heating equipment, the temperature monitoring equipment is arranged in the hydrogen storage device and can be fixedly provided with a temperature sensor at the same position of a pressure valve for monitoring the pressure of the hydrogen storage device and used as the temperature monitoring equipment, when the temperature monitoring equipment works, the temperature in a bottle body of the hydrogen storage device is monitored, namely the temperature of the solid hydrogen storage material is directly monitored in real time, and for the temperature of the solid hydrogen storage material, the temperature monitoring equipment generates a temperature signal which carries the current temperature information of the solid hydrogen storage material. On the other hand, the heating device can be arranged in the hydrogen storage device or outside the hydrogen storage device, and when the heating device works, the solid hydrogen storage material can be directly or indirectly heated, for example, when the heating device is arranged outside the hydrogen storage device, the heat generated by the heating device is firstly transmitted to the bottle body and is then transmitted to the solid hydrogen storage material; when the heating device is placed inside the bottle, the heat generated by the heating device will be radiated or transferred directly to the solid-state hydrogen storage material, thereby raising the temperature of the solid-state hydrogen storage material. Due to the sealing property of the hydrogen storage device, the pressure of the solid hydrogen storage material is increased when the mass is constant, namely, the solid hydrogen storage material is converted from a low-pressure state to a high-pressure state.
The temperature control system also comprises a temperature control module which is electrically connected with the temperature monitoring device and the heating device respectively, a temperature signal formed by the temperature monitoring device is sent to the temperature control module, and a temperature threshold value is prestored in the temperature control module and reflects the expected working temperature of the hydrogen storage device or the temperature of the solid hydrogen storage material in the temperature control module at the expected hydrogen discharge speed. The temperature control module compares the current temperature with a temperature threshold value, if the information of the current temperature carried by the temperature signal is lower than the temperature threshold value, the temperature of the solid hydrogen storage material under low pressure is indicated to be lower, and the hydrogen release speed at the moment cannot be expected, so that the temperature control module generates an activation instruction and sends the activation instruction to the heating equipment, the heating equipment starts to work based on the activation instruction and heats the solid hydrogen storage material in the hydrogen storage device, and the hydrogen release speed of the solid hydrogen storage material is increased after the temperature of the solid hydrogen storage material is increased, so that the requirement of normal use is met.
In a preferred embodiment, the temperature control module comprises a temperature comparison circuit, a heating control circuit and a heating protection circuit. Specifically, the temperature comparison circuit is electrically connected to the temperature monitoring device, and the temperature threshold (which may be a specific value or a data range) is stored in the temperature comparison circuit, and is configured to receive a temperature signal and compare the current temperature with the temperature threshold; the heating control circuit is electrically connected with the temperature comparison circuit and the heating equipment, the comparison result of the temperature comparison circuit, such as the current temperature is greater than the temperature threshold, the current temperature is equal to the temperature threshold, the current temperature is less than the temperature threshold and the like, is sent to the heating control circuit, and different instructions are generated based on different comparison results, for example, when the current temperature is greater than the temperature threshold or the current temperature is equal to the temperature threshold, the hydrogen discharging speed in the hydrogen storage device is sufficient, and when the current temperature is less than the temperature threshold, the activation instruction is generated; the heating protection circuit is arranged between the heating control circuit and the heating equipment, monitors the working state of the whole temperature control module, and cuts off a heating link from the heating control circuit to the heating equipment when the temperature control module has faults, such as open circuit, short circuit and the like, so as to protect the heating equipment.
Furthermore, the temperature control module further comprises a clock unit which is electrically connected with the heating control circuit and adds clock information to the activation instruction, wherein the clock information comprises heating time t; the heating time t is calculated based on the following formula: and t is (temperature threshold value-current temperature) time threshold value/temperature threshold value difference, and the temperature threshold value difference and the time threshold value are prestored based on a test temperature and a test time. In addition to the above heating time t, the heating time t may be set to a fixed value, the activation of the heating device is maintained during the set heating time t, and the activation is terminated after the heating time t is completed. In the calculation formula of the heating time t, a weight value can be added, and the heating time t is adjusted according to the used scenes (region information, season information and the like), so that the heating time t can be adjusted at any time according to different use conditions.
Preferably, in an embodiment, even in the activated state of the heating device, the heating state is adjusted in real time, for example, after the heating time t, when the monitoring result of the temperature monitoring device on the hydrogen storage device is that the updated current temperature is still lower than the temperature threshold, the temperature control module generates the activation command again, and sends the activation command to the heating device, so as to control the heating device to continue to operate. It is understood that, if the current temperature is still lower than the temperature threshold value under the condition of reheating, the above steps are repeatedly executed until the current temperature is higher than or equal to the temperature threshold value; if the heating process provides enough heat within the heating time t, that is, if the current temperature is higher than the temperature threshold during the heating process, the temperature control module calculates a difference between the current temperature and the temperature threshold, compares the difference with a preset difference pre-stored in the temperature control module, and sends a turn-off command to the heating device in advance within the heating time t when the difference between the current temperature and the temperature threshold is greater than the preset difference, that is, within the heating time t, the heating effect is satisfied, not only just satisfied, but has a part of redundancy, and ends the heating process in advance.
