Detailed Description
In order to make the technical problem, technical solution and advantageous effects solved by the present invention more clearly understood, the following description is given in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments to illustrate the present invention in further detail. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.
As shown in fig. 1, an overvoltage protection device provided in an embodiment of the present invention includes a housing 1, and an anode air inlet pipe 11, a cathode air inlet pipe 12, and an exhaust pipe 13 disposed on the housing 1, wherein a cavity inside the housing 1 is divided into a first cavity communicated with the cathode air inlet pipe 12 and a second cavity communicated with the anode air inlet pipe 11, a first elastic member 2 and a reciprocating mechanism are disposed inside the first cavity, one end of the first elastic member 2 away from the cathode air inlet pipe 12 is connected to the reciprocating mechanism, and the other end of the reciprocating mechanism is connected to a pressure relief valve disposed near the anode air inlet pipe 11; the first elastic part 2 is compressed under a first overvoltage protection state, drives the reciprocating mechanism to move along the axial direction of the first elastic part 2 to the direction of the cathode air inlet pipe orifice 12, and opens the pressure release valve, so that the anode gas flowing into the second cavity through the pressure release valve is discharged from the exhaust pipe orifice 13.
The overvoltage protection device can be applied to a fuel cell system to ensure that when the fuel cell system works, the problem that the membrane electrode of the fuel cell stack is damaged due to overlarge pressure difference inside the fuel cell stack by controlling the balance of the pressure difference between the anode and the cathode in the fuel cell stack is solved. Wherein, through separating first cavity and second cavity, form two seal chamber to the realization makes first elastic component 2 compress or reset according to the change of negative and positive two poles of the earth pressure differential, thereby the purpose of the open mode of real-time control relief valve.
In order to make the reaction of the fuel cell stack smoothly proceed, the cathode and the anode of the fuel cell system need to be introduced with reaction gases, i.e. hydrogen and air, according to a certain pressure and flow rate, and the hydrogen and the air introduced into the system realize the reverse reaction of the electrolyzed water through a certain catalytic action, so as to release electric energy, water and heat. The anode inlet pipe orifice 11 is an orifice for receiving hydrogen gas introduced into an anode cavity of the stack, the cathode inlet pipe orifice 12 is an orifice for receiving air introduced into a cathode cavity of the stack, and the exhaust pipe orifice 13 is an orifice for discharging anode gas flowing into a second cavity under an overpressure protection state.
It can be understood that when the pressure difference between the anode and the cathode in the fuel cell stack is too large, the membrane electrode is easily damaged, so that the anode gas needs to be discharged through the exhaust pipe opening 13 to reduce the pressure of the anode gas, so that the pressure difference between the anode and the cathode in the fuel cell stack is kept balanced, thereby effectively protecting the fuel cell stack and prolonging the service life of the fuel cell stack. The reciprocating mechanism can reciprocate along the axial direction of the first elastic part 2 under the driving of the first elastic part 2, and the pressure release valve can be opened or closed according to the state of the gas pressure of the anode side.
Wherein, when in the first overvoltage protection state, the difference between the anode side gas pressure and the cathode side gas pressure is larger than the compression force of the first elastic element 2. Assuming that the gas pressure at the cathode side is P1, the gas pressure at the anode side is P2, and the compression force of the first elastic member 2 is F1, when P2-P1 is greater than F1, the gas pressure at the anode side is too high, the sum of the compression force F1 of the first elastic member 2 and the gas pressure P1 at the cathode side is not enough to balance the gas pressure P2 at the anode side, the first elastic member 2 is compressed, and drives the reciprocating mechanism to move along the axial direction of the first elastic member 2 toward the cathode gas inlet pipe orifice 12, so that the pressure relief valve is opened, and the anode gas flowing into the second cavity through the pressure relief valve is discharged from the exhaust pipe orifice 13, thereby achieving the purpose of relieving the gas at the anode side, keeping the pressure difference between the anode and the cathode in a balanced state, effectively protecting the fuel cell stack, and prolonging the service.

In addition, the embodiment of the utility model provides an overvoltage protector's component is small in quantity, simple structure and with low costs.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, the reciprocating mechanism comprises a piston body 51 and a guide assembly, wherein a piston cavity 52 is arranged inside the piston body 51, and the guide assembly is arranged in the piston cavity 52 in a reciprocating manner; a second elastic piece 4 is arranged between the piston body 51 and the guide assembly; the second elastic part 4 is compressed under the second overvoltage protection state, drives the guide assembly to move towards the cathode air inlet pipe orifice 12 along the axial direction of the second elastic part 4, and opens the pressure release valve, so that the anode gas flowing into the second cavity through the pressure release valve is discharged from the exhaust pipe orifice 13.
In this embodiment, through controlling the second elastic component 4 to compress under the second overvoltage protection state, the guide assembly is driven to move towards the cathode gas inlet pipe orifice 12 along the axial direction of the second elastic component 4, the pressure release valve is opened, so that the anode gas flowing into the second cavity through the pressure release valve is discharged from the exhaust pipe orifice 13, the pressure of the anode side gas pressure can be effectively prevented from further rising, and the problem that the system components are damaged due to the fact that the anode side gas pressure has an emergency when the control system is in a fault state when the control method is adopted for pressure control is avoided.
In addition, because the anode gas is hydrogen which belongs to flammable and explosive gas, once the anode gas leaks, safety problems are easily caused, the leakage of the anode gas (namely, the hydrogen) can be effectively prevented by controlling the pressure of the anode side gas, and the safety of a fuel system is improved.
And when the pressure of the anode side gas is greater than the compression force of the second elastic element 4, the fuel cell stack is in a second overvoltage protection state. It can be understood that, assuming that the cathode-side gas pressure is P1, the anode-side gas pressure is P2, the compression force of the first elastic member 2 is F1, the compression force of the second elastic member 4 is F2, when P2-P1 < F1, the pressure difference between the anode and the cathode inside the fuel cell stack is in a balanced state, the reciprocating mechanism does not move axially along the spring, hydrogen and air continue to be introduced as the reaction in the fuel cell stack proceeds, the cathode-side gas pressure and the anode-side gas pressure increase continuously, when the anode-side gas pressure is greater than the compression force of the second elastic member 4 (i.e. P2 > F2), the second over-pressure protection state is present, the second elastic member 4 compresses to drive the pressure release valve to move axially along the second elastic member 4 toward the cathode gas inlet 12, and open, so that the anode gas flowing into the second chamber through the pressure release valve is discharged from the exhaust port 13, the gas pressure of the anode side is timely reduced, so that the gas pressure of the anode side is in the compression force of the second elastic piece 4, the problem that the gas pressure of the anode side exceeds the tolerance capacity of a component and the system component is easily damaged is effectively solved, and in addition, the gas leakage of the anode side can be prevented, and the safety is improved.

The compression force of the first elastic member 2 and the compression force of the second elastic member 4 may be adjusted according to actual needs, and are not limited herein. It can be understood that, through adjusting the compressive force of the first elastic element 2 and the compressive force of the second elastic element 4, different pressure control requirements can be met, so that the overvoltage protection device provided by the embodiment has strong versatility, and is applicable to different pressure control scenes.
It can be understood that the compression force of the first elastic element 2 and the compression force of the second elastic element in this embodiment can be regarded as two opening thresholds for opening the relief valve, so as to achieve the purpose of two-stage relief.

In addition, the problem that system components are damaged due to the fact that the pressure of gas on the anode side is in an emergency when a control system is in a fault state when the pressure is controlled by an electric control method can be effectively solved.

In one embodiment, the elastic coefficient of the second elastic member 4 is greater than the elastic coefficient of the first elastic member 2. It can be understood that the elastic coefficient of the second elastic member 4 needs to be larger than that of the first elastic member 2, so that the anode side gas can be released by opening the pressure release valve through the compression of the first elastic member 2 in the first overvoltage protection state, that is, when the pressure difference between the anode and the cathode in the fuel cell stack is larger than the compression force of the first elastic member 2, thereby achieving the purpose of one-time pressure release. Meanwhile, under the second overvoltage protection state, namely, the pressure difference between the anode and the cathode in the fuel cell stack is in a balanced state, and when the pressure of the gas at the anode is too large to exceed the compression force of the second elastic part 4, the pressure release valve can be opened through the compression of the second elastic part 4 to release the gas at the anode, so that the purpose of secondary pressure release is achieved, the pressure difference between the anode and the cathode in the fuel cell stack can be ensured to be in a balanced state, the pressure of the gas at the anode can be ensured to be within the compression force of the second elastic part 4, the situation that the gas at the anode is too high to damage components of the fuel cell system is prevented, and the safety and the.
