Detailed Description
In order to make the aforementioned objects, features and advantages of the present application more comprehensible, embodiments accompanying the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present application. This application is capable of embodiments in many different forms than those described herein and those skilled in the art will be able to make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of the application and it is therefore not intended to be limited to the embodiments disclosed below.
It will be understood that when an element is referred to as being "disposed on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or intervening elements may also be present. When an element is referred to as being "connected" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or intervening elements may also be present.
Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein in the description of the present application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application. As used herein, the term "and/or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
Referring to fig. 1 and 2 together, the present application provides an active safety device 10 for a hydrogen pipeline. The hydrogen pipeline active safety protection device 10 includes a housing 100, a hydrogen adsorbing member 500, and a sealing mechanism 300.
The housing 100 has a first cavity 101 therein. A hydrogen transport pipe 20 is disposed in the first chamber 101. A sealing groove 103 is provided between the housing 100 and the hydrogen transport pipe 20. And the housing 100 is detachably coupled to the hydrogen transport pipe 20. The hydrogen adsorbing member 500 is disposed on the inner sidewall of the housing 100, and is configured to adsorb hydrogen in the cavity 101. The sealing mechanism 300 has a sealing medium 301 therein. One end of the sealing mechanism 300 is communicated with the first cavity 101 through a communication pipeline 104, and the other end is connected with the sealing groove 103 through a sealing medium conveying channel 105. When the hydrogen leakage rate is greater than the adsorption rate threshold of the hydrogen adsorbing member 500, so that the pressure in the first cavity 101 reaches a first threshold, gas enters one end of the sealing mechanism 300 through the communication pipeline 104. When the pressure of the gas entering one end of the sealing mechanism 300 reaches a second threshold value, the sealing mechanism 300 starts to push the sealing medium 301 into the sealing medium conveying channel 105, so as to fill the sealing groove 103.
Specifically, the shape and size of the housing 100 are not particularly limited as long as the portion of the hydrogen transport pipe 20 that is susceptible to leakage is ensured inside the housing 100. The housing 100 has a certain pressure-bearing capacity and a certain sealing property. The shape and size of the housing 100 may be set according to the pipe diameter of the hydrogen transport pipe 20. The housing 100 ensures that the parts of the hydrogen transport pipe 20 that are susceptible to leakage are inside the housing 100. That is, for example, when the part of the hydrogen transportation pipe 20 that is susceptible to leakage is a transportation pipe joint, it is necessary to ensure that the transportation pipe joint can be entirely located in the cavity 101 of the housing 100. The transport pipe joints of the respective sections of hydrogen transport pipe 20 are connected by pipe joint nuts 30. Of course, the transportation pipe joints of the hydrogen transportation pipes 20 may be connected by other connection methods. The upper and lower bottom surfaces of the housing 100 have through-holes to facilitate the passage of the hydrogen transport pipe 20.
The housing 100 and the hydrogen transportation pipeline 20 may be detachably connected by providing an opening in the housing 100, and when the hydrogen transportation pipeline is properly installed, the housing 100 is sleeved on a part of the hydrogen transportation pipeline, where leakage is likely to occur, through the opening in the housing 100. The housing 100 may be detachably connected to the hydrogen transportation pipe 20 by providing the housing 100 as two half shells that are butted together. The two half shells can be detachably connected with each other through bolts, clamping or other detachable modes. The detachable connection of the housing 100 and the hydrogen transportation pipeline 20 may also be achieved by configuring the housing 100 as an elastically contractible structure, and before the hydrogen transportation pipeline is installed, the housing 100 is directly sleeved on a part of the hydrogen transportation pipeline, where leakage is likely to occur, and then the hydrogen transportation pipeline is installed.
The sealing groove 103 may be provided at a portion where the housing 100 contacts the hydrogen transport pipe 20, and at a portion where the housing 100 is detachable. For example, the sealing groove 103 is provided at a portion where the upper bottom surface and the lower bottom surface of the housing 100 are closely attached to the hydrogen transport pipe 20. When the housing 100 is detachably connected to the hydrogen transportation pipe 20 in such a manner that an opening is provided in the housing 100, the sealing groove 103 may be provided in a wall of the housing surrounding the opening. When the sealing groove 103 is filled with the sealing medium 301, a sealed space sealed from the outside may be formed between the housing 100 and the hydrogen transport pipe 20.
The hydrogen adsorbing member 500 may be disposed on a sidewall of the entire inner space of the case 100. The hydrogen adsorbing member 500 may be provided only at a designated position of the housing 100. The hydrogen absorbing member 500 is made of any one or more of ferrotitanium, ferrotitanium-carbon alloy, calcium-manganese-nickel-aluminum alloy, rare earth lanthanum-nickel, complex, carbonaceous material or other hydrogen absorbing material. When hydrogen leakage occurs at the joint of the hydrogen transportation pipeline 20, the hydrogen leaked in the cavity 101 can be adsorbed by the hydrogen adsorbing member 500, so that the hydrogen is prevented from being dissipated to the external environment.
The structure and position of the sealing mechanism 300 are not particularly limited. In an alternative embodiment, the sealing mechanism 300 may be disposed inside the housing 100. When the seal mechanism 300 is disposed inside the housing 100, the communication line 104 and the seal medium conveyance passage 105 are both disposed inside the housing 100. The material of the sealing medium 301 is not particularly limited as long as it has appropriate viscosity characteristics and setting time, can enter the sealing medium delivery channel 105 relatively quickly under pushing, and has a viscosity that is significantly increased or set quickly after a certain time after being released from the inside of the sealing mechanism 300. When the sealing medium 301 fills the sealing groove 103, the sealing medium does not flow out of the sealing groove 103 too much due to viscosity increase or condensation. The first threshold value and the second threshold value may be set according to the structure of the sealing mechanism 300.
In this embodiment, the active safety protection device 10 for hydrogen pipeline can restrict the environment where hydrogen leakage occurs easily, and when the hydrogen leakage rate is low and the leakage amount is low, the hydrogen adsorption member 500 is used to adsorb or react the leaked hydrogen, so as to reduce or eliminate the possibility of hydrogen explosion, and when the hydrogen leakage rate is high and the leakage amount is high, no external energy or power source is needed, the sealing mechanism 300 is triggered by the pressure of the leaked hydrogen to release the sealing medium 301, so as to automatically seal and isolate the hydrogen inside the casing 100 from the outside, thereby preventing hydrogen from escaping.
In one alternative embodiment, the sealing mechanism 300 includes a sealing medium storage bin 310, a cylinder 320, and a sealing medium pusher 330.
The sealing medium storage bin 310 has a sealing medium 301 therein. One end of the sealing medium storage bin 310 is connected to the sealing groove 103 through the sealing medium conveying passage 105. One end of the cylinder 320 is communicated with the first chamber 101 through the communication pipe 104. The other end of the cylinder 320 is communicated with the other end of the sealing medium storage bin 310. One end of the sealing medium pushing member 330 is disposed in the sealing medium storage bin 310, and the other end is disposed in the cylinder 320. When the pressure of the gas entering the end of the cylinder 320 reaches a second threshold value, the sealing medium pushing member 330 moves toward the sealing medium storage bin 310 to push the sealing medium 301 to enter the sealing medium conveying channel 105, so as to fill the sealing groove 103.
Specifically, the sealing medium storage bin 310 and the cylinder 320 are both devices with openings at both ends. The right opening of the sealing medium storage bin 310 communicates with the left opening of the cylinder 320. The sealing medium pusher 330 may be a double-ended piston. The left end of the double-headed piston is disposed at the right end of the sealing medium storage bin 310. The right end of the double-headed piston is disposed at the left end of the cylinder block 320. The left double headed piston head is the same width as the sealing medium reservoir 310. The right double head piston head is the same width as the cylinder block 320. The sealing medium 301 may fill the space between the left end of the double-headed piston and the left end of the sealing medium storage bin 310. Optionally, the cross-sectional area of the sealing medium pusher 330 disposed in the sealing medium storage bin 310 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the sealing medium pusher 330 disposed in the cylinder 320. The distance the sealing medium pusher 330 can move can press the sealing medium 301 into and fill the sealing groove 103.
In an alternative embodiment, the sealing mechanism 300 further includes a relief hole 340. The air release hole 340 is disposed between the other end of the cylinder body 320 and the other end of the sealing medium storage bin 310. That is, the air release hole 340 is provided between the right opening of the sealing medium storage bin 310 and the left opening of the cylinder 320. The air release hole 340 ensures the communication between the air in the cylinder 320 and the outside on the left side of the right piston of the double-headed piston. The air release hole 340 may also be disposed on a side of the sealing groove 103 away from the sealing medium 301, so as to ensure that the sealing medium 301 enters the sealing groove 103 through the sealing medium conveying channel 105 with a low back pressure and can fill the sealing groove 103.
In one embodiment, the housing 100 has a second cavity 106 in a sidewall thereof. The second cavity 106 is connected to the first cavity 101 through the communication pipe 104. The sealing mechanism 300 is disposed in the second cavity 106. Specifically, the sealing medium storage bin 310, the cylinder 320 and the sealing medium pushing member 330 are all disposed in the second cavity 106. The sealing mechanism 300 disposed in the second cavity 106 can reduce the volume of the active safety device 10 for hydrogen pipeline, and is convenient to carry.
In one embodiment, the hydrogen circuit active safety device 10 further includes a first flexible seal 200. The first flexible sealing member 200 is disposed between the housing 100 and the hydrogen transportation pipe 20 to form an insulating and sealed environment in the first cavity 101. The sealing groove 103 is disposed on an outer surface of the first flexible sealing member 200 directly contacting the hydrogen transport pipe 20, and the hydrogen adsorbing member 500 is disposed near the first flexible sealing member 200 on an inner sidewall of the housing 100.
Specifically, the first flexible sealing element 200 may be any one of rubber, resin, plastic material, silicone material, or other flexible sealing material. The first flexible sealing members 200 are disposed at portions where the upper and lower bottom surfaces of the housing 100 are closely attached to the hydrogen transport pipe 20. Of course, the first flexible seal member 200 may be provided at a detachable portion of the housing 100. The first flexible sealing member 200 may be fixedly disposed in the cavity 101 by bonding. The first flexible sealing element 200 may also be provided with a clamping member at a corresponding position of the housing 100, and the clamping member fixes the first flexible sealing element 200 to the cavity 101. When the sealing mechanism 300 is not in operation, the first flexible sealing element 200 is disposed to provide a certain sealing property to the hydrogen pipeline active safety device 10, so as to prevent hydrogen from escaping in the case of less hydrogen leakage.
In one embodiment, the hydrogen circuit active safety device 10 further includes a hydrogen leak alarm circuit 400. The hydrogen leakage alarm circuit 400 is disposed in the first cavity 101, and is configured to detect a hydrogen content, a gas pressure value or a gas pressure variation in the first cavity 101, and perform early warning.
When hydrogen leakage occurs at the joint of the hydrogen transportation pipeline 20, the hydrogen pipeline active safety protection device 10 has a small internal space, the hydrogen concentration can be quickly increased, the internal gas pressure can also be quickly increased, the hydrogen leakage alarm circuit 400 can quickly respond, and then the worker is reminded to timely close the hydrogen transportation valve and overhaul the pipeline with leakage. Moreover, the hydrogen leaked in the first cavity 101 can be treated by ignition, adsorption, reaction, collection and other means, so as to prevent the hydrogen from escaping into the external environment. The hydrogen leakage alarm circuit 400 can be used for maintenance in a color, sound, light or electric signal indicating manner.
In an alternative embodiment, the hydrogen leak alarm circuit 400 includes a detector 410 and an alarm 420.
The detector 410 is disposed in the first chamber 101, and configured to detect a hydrogen content, a gas pressure value, or a gas pressure variation in the first chamber 101. The alarm 420 is electrically connected to the detector 410. When the hydrogen content, the gas pressure value, or the gas pressure variation detected by the detector 410 is greater than a preset value, an alarm signal is sent to the alarm 420.
Optionally, the detector 410 is a hydrogen concentration detector, a gas pressure detector or a gas pressure change detector, and the alarm 420 is a warning light or a buzzer. The alarm 420 may be disposed on an inner wall of the housing 100. The alarm 420 may also be disposed on an outer wall of the housing 100.

The first flexible seal 200 is disposed at the opening 102 of the housing 100. The buckle 110 and the snap ring 120 cooperate to fix the hydrogen pipeline active safety device 10 to a pipeline, and press the opening 102 of the housing 100 to close the opening, thereby achieving a sealing effect. The release can also be quick when the device needs to be repaired or replaced.
In an alternative embodiment, the hydrogen pipeline active safety device 10 can also achieve sealing between the housing 100 and the hydrogen transport pipeline 20 through two extension plates and a snap and a clamping groove. Two extension plates may be disposed on both sides of the opening 102. Two extension plates may be integrally formed with the housing 100. The fastener is arranged on one extending plate, the clamping groove is arranged on the other extending plate, and the fastener and the clamping groove are clamped to close the opening in the shell 100.
In this embodiment, the housing 100 has an opening 102 extending through the housing 100 along the direction of extension of the hydrogen transport pipe 20, so that the housing 100 can be detachably mounted without disassembling the hydrogen transport pipe 20.
Referring to fig. 4, in one embodiment, the housing 100 includes a first clamping body 130, a second clamping body 140, and a first flexible sealing member 200.
The first clamping body 130 has a first screw hole 131. The second clamping body 140 has a second screw hole 141. The first flexible sealing member 200 is disposed between the first clamping body 130 and the second clamping body 140. A connector detachably connects the first clamping body 130 and the second clamping body 140 through the second screw hole 141 and the first screw hole 131 to form the cavity between the first clamping body 130 and the second clamping body 140.
Specifically, the first clamping body 130 and the second clamping body 140 may be half shells having the same shape, and when the first clamping body 130 and the second clamping body 140 are butted, the housing 100 is formed. Screw holes are formed at corresponding positions of the first clamping body 130 and the second clamping body 140, so that the two half shells can be detachably connected. The first flexible sealing member 200 may be positioned at both ends of the first clamping body 130 and both ends of the second clamping body 140. Of course, the first flexible sealing member 200 may be disposed at a position where the first clamping body 130 and the second clamping body 140 are butted. At this time, a third screw hole 201 is formed at a corresponding position of the first flexible sealing member 200, so that a screw 150 passes through the first screw hole 131, the third screw hole 201 and the second screw hole 141 in sequence to detachably connect the first clamping body 130 and the second clamping body 140.
In this embodiment, the housing 100 may be detachably mounted to the housing 100 through the first clamping member 130 and the second clamping member 140 without disassembling the hydrogen transportation pipe 20.
Referring to fig. 5, the present application provides an active safety protection method for a hydrogen pipeline. The active safety protection method for the hydrogen pipeline is implemented by using the active safety protection device 10 for the hydrogen pipeline in any one of the above embodiments. The active safety protection method for the hydrogen pipeline comprises the following steps:
s10, wrapping the joint of the hydrogen transportation pipe 20 with the first cavity 101 inside the housing 100. In step S10, the shape and size of the housing 100 are not particularly limited as long as the portion of the hydrogen transport pipe 20 that is susceptible to leakage is ensured inside the housing 100. The housing 100 has a certain pressure-bearing capacity and a certain sealing property.
S20, the hydrogen gas in the chamber 101 is adsorbed by the hydrogen adsorbing member 500. In step S20, the hydrogen adsorbing member 500 may be disposed on a sidewall of the entire inner space of the housing 100. The hydrogen adsorbing member 500 may be provided only at a designated position of the housing 100. The hydrogen absorbing member 500 is made of any one or more of ferrotitanium, ferrotitanium-carbon alloy, calcium-manganese-nickel-aluminum alloy, rare earth lanthanum-nickel, complex, carbonaceous material or other hydrogen absorbing material.
S30, when the hydrogen leakage rate is greater than the hydrogen adsorption rate threshold of the hydrogen adsorption member 500, so that the pressure in the first cavity 101 reaches a first threshold, the gas enters one end of the sealing mechanism 300 through the communication pipe 104. In step S30, the structure and position of the sealing mechanism 300 are not particularly limited. In an alternative embodiment, the sealing mechanism 300 may be disposed inside the housing 100. The first threshold value may be set according to the structure of the sealing mechanism 300.
S40, when the pressure of the gas entering the end of the sealing mechanism 300 reaches the second threshold, the sealing mechanism 300 starts to push the sealing medium 301 into the sealing medium conveying channel 105, so as to fill the sealing groove 103. In step S40, the second threshold may be set according to the structure of the sealing mechanism 300. The material of the sealing medium 301 is not particularly limited as long as it has appropriate viscosity characteristics and setting time, can enter the sealing medium delivery channel 105 relatively quickly under pushing, and has a viscosity that is significantly increased or set quickly after a certain time after being released from the inside of the sealing mechanism 300. When the sealing medium 301 fills the sealing groove 103, the sealing medium does not flow out of the sealing groove 103 too much due to viscosity increase or condensation.
In this embodiment, the hydrogen pipeline active safety protection method creates an environment capable of restricting hydrogen leakage at the location where hydrogen leakage is likely to occur, and when the hydrogen leakage rate is low and the leakage amount is low, the hydrogen adsorbing member 500 is used to adsorb or react the leaked hydrogen, so as to reduce or eliminate the possibility of hydrogen explosion, and when the hydrogen leakage rate is high and the leakage amount is high, external energy or power source is not needed, and the sealing mechanism 300 is triggered to release the sealing medium 301 only by the pressure of the leaked hydrogen, thereby automatically sealing and isolating the hydrogen inside the casing 100 from the outside, and preventing hydrogen from escaping.
The technical features of the embodiments described above may be arbitrarily combined, and for the sake of brevity, all possible combinations of the technical features in the embodiments described above are not described, but should be considered as being within the scope of the present specification as long as there is no contradiction between the combinations of the technical features.
The above-mentioned embodiments only express several embodiments of the present application, and the description thereof is more specific and detailed, but not construed as limiting the claims. It should be noted that, for a person skilled in the art, several variations and modifications can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, which falls within the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present patent shall be subject to the appended claims.
