Background
Compared with the existing fossil energy, the hydrogen energy does not pollute the environment in the use process, the generated product is water, hydrogen is generated again for recycling after the product water is hydrolyzed, and the hydrogen energy is one of the most ideal green energy at present. Therefore, the potential of a hydrogen energy unmanned aerial vehicle using a hydrogen fuel engine as a power plant is great.
The density of liquid hydrogen at normal temperature and pressure is 845 times of that of gaseous hydrogen, and the volume energy density of the liquid hydrogen is 10 times higher than that of the compressed storage of the gaseous hydrogen, so that most hydrogen energy unmanned aerial vehicles in the world currently adopt a liquid hydrogen storage method. Liquid hydrogen storage requires cooling the hydrogen gas to-253 degrees celsius to a liquid state and then storing it in a high vacuum cold-insulated container for use. Because the liquid hydrogen in the storage container is very different from the ambient temperature, the selection of the cold insulation material of the liquid hydrogen storage container and the design of the container are very high in order to control the evaporation loss of the liquid hydrogen in the storage container and the safety (freezing resistance, pressure bearing and the like) of the container.
The common liquid hydrogen storage tank is divided into an inner layer and an outer layer, the inner layer is filled with liquid hydrogen with the temperature of minus 253 ℃, a support made of longer glass fibers is arranged at the center of an outer layer shell, a plurality of layers of aluminized polyester films are filled in the middle of an interlayer, heat radiation is reduced, cold insulation paper is paved between the films, heat resistance is increased, residual gas at low temperature is adsorbed, air in the interlayer is pumped by a vacuum pump, high vacuum is formed, gas convection heat leakage is avoided, and premature vaporization of hydrogen is prevented. The traditional hydrogen storage container inner layer generally adopts a metal material (such as stainless steel) with good hydrogen resistance, and because the cold insulation design requirement is high, the weight of the storage container is mainly consumed on the cold insulation design, and according to calculation, the liquid hydrogen storage tank with good cold insulation design and 200kg weight can only carry 17kg of liquid hydrogen, so that the storage tank has no great advantage compared with the storage of common aviation gasoline or kerosene. Meanwhile, the liquid hydrogen storage tank with good cold insulation design has high cold insulation requirement on the hydrogen supply pipeline, the weight of the pipeline is increased, and meanwhile, a special vaporizer is required to be added for vaporizing liquid hydrogen, so that the design weight is increased.

The specific meaning of the above terms in the present invention will be understood in specific cases by those of ordinary skill in the art.
As shown in fig. 1 to 7, an exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides a liquid hydrogen spherical storage tank of a hydrogen energy unmanned aerial vehicle. The liquid hydrogen spherical storage tank is arranged at the position of the body of the hydrogen energy unmanned aerial vehicle. The flying height of the hydrogen energy unmanned aerial vehicle is generally about 20000m, the ambient temperature is about-56 ℃, and the ambient pressure is about 5500KPa.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the liquid hydrogen spherical tank includes a spherical tank body 1 having a containing chamber for containing liquid hydrogen and a foamed cold insulation layer 2 bonded to an outer wall of the spherical tank body 1 by a low-temperature glue 3 in a full-coverage manner.
The spherical tank body 1 adopts a spherical structure, is uniformly stressed, has the minimum internal stress of the tank wall of the spherical tank body 1 and the minimum wall thickness under the condition of the same diameter and the same pressure, is about half of the cylindrical tank body, and can effectively reduce the self weight of the liquid hydrogen spherical storage tank. As an example, the spherical tank 1 may be made of high-strength aluminum material, so that the spherical tank 1 is further high in strength, thin in wall thickness, low in material density and light in weight.
In some embodiments, when designing the spherical tank body 1, the method can be performed according to the requirement that the working pressure of the hydrogen spherical tank is approximately 0.6MPa and the tensile strength of the aluminum material at low temperature is more than 600 MPa. For example, the wall thickness of the spherical tank 1 is about 4 to 5mm, and the volume of the spherical tank 1 is about 30m 3.
In addition, under the same volume and the same pressure, the spherical tank body 1 has the advantages of minimum surface area, small heat transfer area, effective reduction of heat transfer with the environment and beneficial evaporation rate control.
In addition, the outer wall of the spherical tank body 1 is adhered with the foaming cold insulation layer 2 through the low-temperature glue 3, so that the heat transfer between the spherical tank body 1 and the environment can be further reduced. The foaming cold insulation layer 2 adopts stacked cold insulation, the cold insulation material has small density, the weight of the whole liquid hydrogen spherical storage tank is effectively reduced, and the storage weight ratio of the liquid hydrogen spherical storage tank is improved. As an example, the foamed cold insulation layer 2 is a polyurethane foamed layer. It has the beneficial effects of high cold insulation performance and easy obtainment.
The low-temperature adhesive 3 can bond two different materials, can keep better elasticity at low temperature, can buffer the respective deformation caused by inconsistent linear expansion rates of the metal material of the spherical tank body 1 and the nonmetal material of the foaming cold insulation layer 2 at low temperature, improves the service life of the foaming cold insulation layer 2, and avoids the phenomena of tearing and the like of the foaming cold insulation layer 2 under the condition of self deformation. This ensures the cold insulation effect of the foamed cold insulation layer 2 on the spherical tank 1.
By way of example, the thickness of the low-temperature glue 3 is approximately 3 to 10mm, and the thickness of the foamed cold insulation layer 2 is approximately 150 to 180mm.
In some embodiments, the foamed cold insulation layer 2 comprises a plurality of sub-foamed cold insulation layers from inside to outside along the radial direction of the spherical tank body 1, and the plurality of sub-foamed cold insulation layers are bonded by low-temperature glue.
Specifically, the foaming cold insulation layer 2 can be sprayed for multiple times to form a plurality of sub-foaming cold insulation layers, the thickness of each sub-foaming cold insulation layer can be controlled to be approximately 30-40 mm, and the layers are adhered through low-temperature glue.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 2, the outer side of the foamed cold insulation layer 2 is provided with a protective layer 4 in full coverage; wherein, the protective layer 4 comprises a fiber cloth layer 41 and a dampproof paint layer 42 from inside to outside along the radial direction of the spherical tank body 1.
Specifically, the fiber cloth layer 41 can effectively increase the strength of the foamed cold insulation layer 2, and prevent damage to the foamed cold insulation layer 2 by collision of external hard objects. The moisture-proof paint layer 42 prevents condensation of water vapor in the environment, and the water vapor enters the foamed cold insulation layer 2 to cause a decrease in cold insulation performance and an increase in the weight of the liquid hydrogen spherical tank itself.
By way of example, the thickness of the fibrous cloth layer 41 is approximately 3mm and the thickness of the moisture-proof paint layer 42 is approximately 1 to 2mm.
It should be noted that the materials of the fiber cloth layer 41 and the moisture-proof paint layer 42 are well known in the art, and the present invention is not limited thereto.
In some embodiments, the spherical tank body 1 is further provided with a pressure transmitter and a liquid level transmitter, so that the pressure and liquid level change condition in the spherical tank body 1 can be monitored, and the safety of the liquid hydrogen spherical tank can be ensured.
The spherical tank body 1 is also provided with a liquid port and an air port. Two fuel supply modes of the liquid path and the gas path can be realized, and the requirements of the hydrogen energy unmanned aerial vehicle on fuel under different working conditions are met.
Specifically, the bottom of the spherical tank body 1 is connected with a liquid hydrogen filling pipe 11 and a liquid hydrogen discharge pipe 12, and the top of the spherical tank body 1 is connected with a gaseous hydrogen discharge pipe 13. Optionally, a liquid hydrogen filling valve, a liquid hydrogen discharge valve and a gaseous hydrogen discharge valve are provided on the liquid hydrogen filling line 11 and the gaseous hydrogen discharge line 13, respectively.
As an example, a liquid hydrogen main pipe 14 is connected to the bottom of the spherical tank body 1, and a liquid hydrogen filling pipe 11 and a liquid hydrogen discharge pipe 12 are connected to the liquid hydrogen main pipe 14 through three-way valves.
In addition, a hydrogen pipeline rupture disk 15 and a hydrogen pipeline safety valve 16 are also connected to the gaseous hydrogen discharge pipeline 13 so as to improve the safety performance of the liquid hydrogen spherical storage tank.
In some embodiments, the spherical tank body 1 is further provided with a self-pressurization device, so that the pressure can be adjusted according to the requirements of the hydrogen energy unmanned aerial vehicle on fuel under different working conditions. At the same time, the structure can avoid the increase of volume and weight caused by external pressurization.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 1, a vaporizer 17 is connected to the spherical tank 1, one end of the vaporizer 17 communicates with a liquid space in the accommodating chamber of the spherical tank 1 through a liquid phase valve 18, and the other end of the vaporizer 17 communicates with a gaseous space in the accommodating chamber of the spherical tank 1. When the spherical tank body 1 is used, the vaporizer 17 and the liquid phase valve 18 are both set to be in an open state, liquid hydrogen enters the vaporizer 17, the vaporizer 17 uses the atmospheric environment as a heat source, the liquid hydrogen exchanges heat with air to be converted into gaseous hydrogen, and the gaseous hydrogen enters an upper gaseous space of the accommodating chamber through the air inlet pipe 19, so that the pressure of the gaseous space is increased, and the pressure in the spherical tank body 1 is increased. With the continuous outflow of the liquid hydrogen, the liquid level in the spherical tank 1 is continuously lowered, and the gaseous space is continuously enlarged, so that the pressure in the spherical tank 1 is continuously increased by the vaporizer 17 to reach the required pressure.
When gaseous hydrogen is required as fuel and consumption is small, the liquid hydrogen in the spherical tank body 1 can be naturally vaporized by a temperature difference from the external environment and the liquid hydrogen medium to form a certain amount of gaseous hydrogen and discharged through the gaseous hydrogen discharge pipe 13. When gaseous hydrogen is needed as fuel and consumption is large, the vaporizer 17 can be used for further utilizing heat of the atmosphere environment to realize evaporation of liquid hydrogen to provide gaseous fuel medium, so that the liquid hydrogen spherical storage tank is more suitable for actual use conditions of the hydrogen energy unmanned plane in two working states of storage and use, and the fuel is more reasonably and effectively used.
In addition, the spherical tank body 1 with the spherical structure can effectively stabilize the gravity center position, and is beneficial to the flight safety of the hydrogen energy unmanned aerial vehicle.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, the liquid hydrogen sphere tank further comprises a wave preventing structure 5. The wave preventing structure 5 includes a central tube 51 and a plurality of wave preventing plates 52. The two ends of the central tube 51 are respectively connected with the top and the bottom of the spherical tank body 1; the plurality of swash plates 52 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the central tube 51, and a plurality of through holes 521 are provided in each swash plate 52.
In the scheme, through setting up wave-proof structure 5 in spherical jar body 1, can reduce the fluctuation and the impact of the inside liquid hydrogen of spherical jar body 1, improve the stability that hydrogen energy unmanned aerial vehicle was gone.
As an example, the plurality of swash plates 52 may have a rectangular structure, and are welded uniformly at the outer wall of the central tube 51 in the circumferential direction. The swash plates 52 are provided in four pieces, for example, and referring to fig. 4, each swash plate 52 is provided with a plurality of through holes 521, which are advantageous in maintaining the temperature and pressure balance of the liquid hydrogen in each region of the accommodating chamber.
In the above scheme, the central tube 51 can realize the fixing and supporting functions of the wave-preventing plates 52, and the four wave-preventing plates 52 are uniformly arranged, so that the influence of bending moment of the central tube 51 due to the gravity action of the wave-preventing plates 52 can be effectively reduced.
In some embodiments, the gaseous hydrogen vent line 13 extends from the top of the spherical tank 1 into the containment chamber, and the liquid hydrogen main 14 extends from the bottom of the spherical tank 1 into the containment chamber. The center pipe 51 is disposed coaxially with the gaseous hydrogen discharge pipe 13 and the liquid hydrogen main pipe 14.
In the above scheme, the central pipe 51 penetrates through the bottom to the top of the spherical tank body 1, so that the probability of temperature stratification inside the liquid hydrogen spherical tank is reduced.
In some embodiments, a plurality of liquid holes 511 are formed on the pipe wall of the central pipe 51 near one end of the main liquid hydrogen pipe 14, so as to communicate the main liquid hydrogen pipe 14 with the accommodating chamber; the wall of the central tube 51 near one end of the gaseous hydrogen exhaust pipe 13 is provided with a plurality of vent holes 512 for communicating the gaseous hydrogen exhaust pipe 13 with the accommodating chamber.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 3, when liquid hydrogen is filled into the spherical tank 1, the liquid passing hole 511 allows the liquid hydrogen to smoothly enter the accommodating chamber. The liquid passing hole 511 allows the liquid hydrogen to be smoothly discharged from the accommodating chamber when the liquid hydrogen is discharged to the outside using the self-pressurizing function or the liquid hydrogen fuel is discharged to the outside as needed. When the gaseous hydrogen is discharged to the outside, the vent hole 512 can smoothly discharge the gaseous hydrogen from the accommodating chamber, keep the gaseous space smooth, and ensure the balance of the pressure and the liquid level in the central tube 51 and the spherical tank body 1 as a whole.
As an example, as shown in fig. 5 and 6, the liquid holes 511 are opened on two cross sections of the bottom pipe wall of the central pipe 51, and four liquid holes 511 are opened on the same cross section, and the area of the eight liquid holes 511 and the area larger than the cross section of the main liquid hydrogen pipe 14 ensure that the liquid hydrogen smoothly circulates between the central pipe 51 and the accommodating chamber of the spherical tank body 1. Optionally, eight access holes 511 are located in different radial directions. As shown in fig. 7, the cross section of the top pipe wall of the central pipe 51 is perforated, and four vent holes 512 are formed in the same cross section, so that smooth communication of gaseous hydrogen between the central pipe 51 and the accommodating chamber of the spherical tank body 1 is ensured.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 3, the central tube 51 is fixedly connected with the housing of the spherical tank body 1, and the central tube 51 and the gaseous hydrogen exhaust pipeline 13 form a sliding pair with shaft hole fit or hole shaft fit in the axial direction of the central tube 51.
As an example, the bottom of the central tube 51 is welded on the bottom shell of the spherical tank body 1, the upper end of the central tube can slide at the end of the gaseous hydrogen discharge pipeline 13, the cold shrinkage amount is reserved, the internal stress caused by the temperature gradient is reduced, and the safety of the whole structure of the liquid hydrogen spherical tank is improved.
The foaming cold insulation layer 2 and the protective layer 4 together form a cold insulation layer of the spherical tank body. In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 8, the liquid hydrogen spherical tank further comprises a stand-off structure 6 for supporting the spherical tank body 1. The stand-off structure 6 includes a pallet assembly 61, a connecting rod assembly 62, and a plurality of legs 63.
Specifically, the pallet assembly 61 includes an upper pallet 611 and a lower pallet 612, the upper pallet 611 and the lower pallet 612 being disposed on an upper half and a lower half of the cold insulation outer wall, respectively. The connecting rod assembly 62 is connected between the upper blade 611 and the lower blade 612, clamping the spherical tank 1 between the upper blade 611 and the lower blade 612. A plurality of legs 63 are respectively connected to the lower plate 612 for supporting the spherical tank body 1.
It should be noted that the support structure 6 is arranged at the outermost side of the cold barrier layer, for example outside the moisture barrier paint layer 42.
In the scheme, the support structure 6 is arranged outside the cold insulation layer, so that heat leakage caused by directly connecting the support legs 63 to the spherical tank body 1 is avoided, and the evaporation rate can be effectively reduced. Therefore, in the case that the evaporation rate is required to be constant, reducing the heat leakage means that the requirement for cold insulation of the cold insulation layer can be reduced, and thus the thickness of the cold insulation layer can be reduced, thereby reducing the weight of the whole equipment of the liquid hydrogen spherical storage tank, and also improving the hydrogen storage ratio of the liquid hydrogen spherical storage tank. In addition, the support structure 6 is arranged outside the cold insulation layer, so that the cold insulation layer and the spherical tank body 1 do not need to be damaged when the support structure 6 is maintained and replaced, the convenience is improved, and the cost of the whole equipment of the liquid hydrogen spherical storage tank can be reduced. In addition, the upper supporting plate 611 and the lower supporting plate 612 in the supporting structure 6 can better support the spherical tank body 1, so that the contact area among the upper supporting plate 611, the lower supporting plate 612 and the cold insulation layer is increased, the pressure intensity at the local point of the cold insulation layer is reduced, the cold insulation layer is ensured not to be crushed, and the generation of heat leakage is further avoided.
In some embodiments, the upper support plate 611 has a ring-shaped structure and has a first dimension along the latitudinal direction of the spherical tank body 1, and the upper support plate 611 surrounds the outer wall of the cold insulation layer along the longitudinal direction of the spherical tank body 1. The lower support plate 612 has an annular structure and has a second dimension along the latitude direction of the spherical tank 1, and the lower support plate 612 surrounds the outer wall of the cold insulation layer along the longitude direction of the spherical tank 1. Wherein the value of the second dimension is greater than the value of the first dimension.
In the above scheme, the upper supporting plate 611 and the lower supporting plate 612 are arranged to be annular structures, and the outer wall of the cold insulation layer is surrounded along the longitudinal direction of the spherical tank body 1, so that the supporting effect on the spherical tank body 1 can be improved, the gravity center position of the liquid hydrogen spherical storage tank can be effectively stabilized, and the flight safety of the unmanned aerial vehicle can be improved. Also, the size of the lower blade 612 is larger than that of the upper blade 611 in the latitudinal direction of the spherical tank body 1, which can further enhance the supporting effect on the spherical tank body 1.
