The hydrogen is released from the second metal hydride after the hydrogen has been substantially released from the first metal hydride by being filled with the mixture of the metal hydride containing the metal hydride as a subcomponent.

の測定が困難である。However, according to the prior art method of mixing two or more kinds of hydrogen storage alloys having different hydrogen dissociation pressures and measuring the amount of residual hydrogen from the pressure change in the storage container, hydrogen is released. The amount of residual hydrogen can be measured in a stable equilibrium state of temperature and pressure at the time of stop, but during hydrogen release, the temperature of the hydrogen storage alloy changes due to the change in the hydrogen dissociation endothermic reaction of the hydrogen storage alloy depending on the hydrogen release rate. Since the pressure and the pressure fluctuate indefinitely, it is difficult to measure the residual hydrogen amount accurately by measuring the pressure.

When the strain amount is sequentially measured and the relationship between the strain amount and the residual hydrogen amount is set, when measuring the residual hydrogen amount, the strain amount and the residual hydrogen amount are set from the strain amount measured by the strain gauge. The residual hydrogen amount is measured based on the relationship.

して測定できる。The hydrogen storage alloy expands and contracts according to the amount of absorbed hydrogen (the amount of residual hydrogen). That is, the greater the amount of absorbed hydrogen, the greater the degree of expansion. Moreover, the degree of expansion and contraction is not affected by temperature. Therefore, the amount of residual hydrogen in the hydrogen storage alloy container can be easily and accurately measured by the strain of the container wall due to the expansion and contraction, and can be stably measured even during hydrogen supply.

That is, a bridge circuit 4 is formed in which the resistor RG is one side of the bridge and the other three sides are R1, R2, and R3, respectively, and the bridge circuit R2 and R3 or RG is formed.
And a constant voltage E is applied to both ends 4a and 4b of R1,
The voltage output e of the bridge circuit 4 is taken out from the other ends 4c and 4d of the bridge circuit 4, and the residual hydrogen amount measuring means 5 is connected to the bridge circuit 4 so that the voltage output e is input.

The relationship between the amount of change in strain and the amount of residual hydrogen is set. That is, for example, at 25 ° C. in FIG.
At 0 atm, the hydrogen valve (not shown) is opened from the hydrogen introducing / exhausting unit 3, and the amount of residual hydrogen is obtained by measuring the amount of released hydrogen with a hydrogen flow meter (not shown), and the strain ε is obtained from the corresponding voltage output e. As shown, the relationship between the residual hydrogen amount c and the strain ε / ε 0 is set in the residual hydrogen amount measuring means 5.

0 shows the complete hydrogen release state, that is, the strain at 1 atm. As shown in FIG. 3, the strain ratio ε / ε 0 increases monotonically in proportion to the residual hydrogen amount c. Therefore,
If the strain ratio ε / ε 0 is obtained, the residual hydrogen amount c can be obtained.

When measuring the residual hydrogen amount from the relationship between the ratio of e / e 0 and the residual hydrogen amount corresponding to the amount of change in strain as shown in FIG. 3, the residual hydrogen amount at that time is measured. As for the residual hydrogen amount, a display and a print for monitoring the residual hydrogen amount and a means for outputting an alarm are provided as needed.

の測定がされることが判明した。The value of the strain ratio ε / ε 0 did not change even if the release of hydrogen was stopped at the point S1 in FIG. That is, in this example, it was found that the hydrogen storage alloy 2 was not affected by the temperature change, and the amount of residual hydrogen was accurately measured during the supply of hydrogen and the stop of hydrogen.

The amount of residual hydrogen can be easily and accurately measured from the change in strain. In addition, the amount of residual hydrogen can be accurately measured even when the supply of hydrogen changes.

The three strain gauges G1, G2, G3 are attached to the outer peripheral wall 1a of the container 1, the lead wires of the strain gauges G1, G2, G3 are connected in series, and the lead wires Ga, Gb at both ends are connected to form a bridge as a resistance RG. The point is that it is configured as one side of the circuit 4.

As a result, as shown in FIG. 4, the relationship between the residual hydrogen amount c and the strain ratio ε / ε 0 was almost linear. Further, similarly to the first embodiment, the value of the strain ratio ε / ε 0 did not change even if the hydrogen release was stopped at the point of S2. In the residual hydrogen amount measuring means 5, the relationship between the voltage output ratio e / e 0 of the Whiston bridge circuit 4, that is, the ratio of ε / ε 0 as shown in FIG. 5 and the residual hydrogen amount c is set in advance. In other words, the residual hydrogen amount c can be measured from the amount of change in strain.

When attaching multiple strain gauges,
The connection is not limited to serial connection, but parallel connection may be used. Further, when the hydrogen storage alloy container of the present invention is used as a hydrogen supply source for a fuel cell, the amount of residual hydrogen as fuel can be accurately known and the container can be replaced smoothly.
