As shown in fig. 1, the currently available commercial ejector includes a primary flow pipe 1, a nozzle 3, a suction chamber 2, a secondary flow pipe 4, a mixing chamber and a diffusion chamber 7; wherein the mixing chamber comprises two mixing sections, namely an isobaric mixing section 5 and an equal-area mixing section 6.

The ejector in the hydrogen supply circulation system of the fuel cell works according to the following principle: the high-pressure hydrogen gas passes through a pressure reducing valve to obtain proper hydrogen supply pressure, a low-pressure area is formed at the outlet of a nozzle through a primary flow nozzle, the low-pressure area can suck the hydrogen gas, water vapor and nitrogen gas at the outlet of the anode of the fuel cell, then the two gases exchange energy in a remixing chamber, and finally the mixed gas is sent to the fuel cell.
As shown in fig. 2, the multi-nozzle ejector suitable for the hydrogen fuel cell system of the present embodiment includes a primary flow pipe 1, a multi-nozzle structure 8, an intake chamber 2, a secondary flow inlet 4, a mixing chamber, and a diffusion chamber 7.
Wherein the mixing chamber comprises two mixing sections, respectively an isobaric mixing section 5 and an equal-area mixing section 6.
The primary flow pipe 1, the multi-nozzle structure 8, the mixing chamber and the diffusion chamber 7 are sequentially communicated along the axis; the suction chamber 2 and the secondary inflow port 4 are respectively arranged at two sides of the multi-nozzle structure 8 and are communicated with the mixing chamber; the number of the primary flow pipes 1 is equal to that of the nozzles in the multi-nozzle structure 8, and the primary flow pipes are communicated with the nozzles in a one-to-one correspondence manner;
the primary flow pipe 1 is used for receiving the decompressed high-pressure hydrogen, forming a low-pressure area at the outlet of the multi-nozzle structure 8 so as to suck the gas at the anode outlet of the fuel cell communicated with the secondary flow inlet 4, mixing the gas in the mixing chamber and then sending the gas into the fuel cell; the operating state of each nozzle in the multi-nozzle structure 8 is determined by the output power of the fuel cell.
In a specific implementation, the multi-nozzle structure 8 comprises a cylindrical section and a tapered section, the portion at the tapered section being conical; the part of the cylindrical section is cylindrical.
The multi-nozzle structure 8 of the embodiment is determined according to the requirement of the vehicle fuel cell, and under the condition that the working range required by the vehicle fuel cell is widened, the number of the nozzles can be increased, so that the applicable power of the ejector is widened in a wider range. See fig. 3(a) -3 (c): focusing double nozzles, focusing three nozzles, and focusing four nozzles.
Taking the multi-nozzle structure as a coaxial double-nozzle as an example:
the coaxial double-nozzle comprises a first nozzle and a second nozzle, wherein the flow pore passages of the first nozzle and the second nozzle are formed along the axis of the ejector, and the throat area of the first nozzle is smaller than that of the second nozzle.
Wherein, the outlet of the first nozzle is circular, and the outlet of the second nozzle is annular.
The diameter of the throat part of the first nozzle is 1.12mm, the diameter of the inlet is 3mm, the inner diameter of the throat part of the second nozzle is 2.2mm, the outer diameter of the throat part of the second nozzle is 2.8mm, the inner diameter of the inlet is 5mm, the outer diameter of the inlet is 8mm, and the diameter of the equal-area mixing section of the mixing chamber of the ejector is 5.6 mm. The area of the equal-area mixing section of the ejector mixing chamber is matched with the sum of the areas of the plurality of nozzles.
In this embodiment, each nozzle in the multi-nozzle structure is connected to a corresponding hydrogen supply conduit via a respective primary flow tube.
And each hydrogen supply pipeline is connected with an electromagnetic valve, and the electromagnetic valve is controlled to be switched on and switched off by a controller according to the output power of the fuel cell.
For example: the applicable power range of the multi-nozzle ejector is 18kW-120 kW. In a system of a 120kW fuel cell hydrogen circulation system, the hydrogen supply pressure of an ejector is set within a proper range of 3bar-10bar, the temperature is 20 ℃, the pressure of secondary flow hydrogen is 1.9bar, and the temperature is 70 ℃; the pressure at the exit of the eductor was 2.2bar and the temperature was 65 ℃.
According to the requirement of the output power of the vehicle fuel cell, the ejector can be in different working modes by controlling the electromagnetic valve, when the output power of the fuel cell is less than 35kW, the electromagnetic valve is controlled to use the first nozzle, when the power of the fuel cell is 35kW-80KW, the second nozzle is used, and when the power of the fuel cell is more than 80kW, the two nozzles are used together.
As shown in fig. 4, the specific application structure of the multi-nozzle ejector in the fuel cell system includes a high-pressure hydrogen supply tank, a pressure reducing valve, a steam-water separator, a plurality of electromagnetic valves, an exhaust valve, and a multi-nozzle ejector, wherein a hydrogen supply pipeline of a nozzle of the multi-nozzle ejector is connected to the electromagnetic valve.
The operation of the multi-nozzle ejector suitable for the hydrogen fuel cell system of the embodiment is as follows:
referring to fig. 2 and 4, when the fuel cell vehicle is in a low speed state (i.e. when the output power of the fuel cell is less than the preset power) during the driving process, the first nozzle of the coaxial dual-nozzle ejector is used, the hydrogen supply pipeline of the second nozzle is in a closed state, the high-pressure hydrogen passes through the first nozzle, and expands to form a low-pressure area at the nozzle outlet, the low-pressure area is less than the pressure of the secondary flow hydrogen, the secondary flow hydrogen can be sucked into the suction chamber, the two air flows are mixed in the mixing section, then the speed is reduced when entering the pressure expansion section, the pressure is increased, the hydrogen supply pressure required by the fuel cell stack is reached, and finally the hydrogen supply pressure enters the stack from the ejector outlet. When the speed of the fuel cell automobile is high (namely the power is high) in the running process, the second nozzle of the coaxial double-nozzle ejector can be used, the first nozzle does not work, and the working principle of the first nozzle is the same as that of the first nozzle; the first nozzle and the second nozzle operate together when full fuel cell power operation is required.
When the multi-nozzle structure is a focusing double nozzle, a focusing three nozzle or a focusing four nozzle, the working process of the multi-nozzle ejector suitable for the hydrogen fuel cell system is as follows:
the fuel cell system has the same working principle as the fuel cell system with the coaxial double-nozzle ejector, the output power of the fuel cell determines the working state of each nozzle of the multi-nozzle ejector, and the higher the power is, the more the nozzles are used, the lower the power is, and the fewer the nozzles are used. For example, when the multi-nozzle structure is a focusing four-nozzle structure (four nozzles are the same size), when the running speed of the automobile is low (namely the output power of the fuel cell is less than the preset power), only one nozzle is in the working state, when the automobile runs at the middle-high power, two nozzles or three nozzles work together, and when the automobile needs to run at the full power, four nozzles work together. However, as the number of nozzles in the multi-nozzle structure increases, the power range of a single nozzle is more and more limited due to structural limitation, the difficulty of the manufacturing process increases, and the number of nozzles in the optimal multi-nozzle structure is 2-4.
In other embodiments, there is also provided a hydrogen fuel cell system comprising a multi-nozzle eductor as described above suitable for use in a hydrogen fuel cell system.

Any modification, equivalent replacement, or improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
