  • Patent number: 11543079
    Abstract: A pressure vessel (10) is provided with: a cylinder part (1) that defines a pressure chamber (11); a screwing part (3) that is disposed inside at least one of the two ends of the cylinder part; a lid (2) that has a pressure-receiving surface (2A) facing the pressure chamber and that is disposed at a position closer to the pressure chamber than is the screwing part; and a reinforcing ring (4) that is fitted to the outer circumferential surface of the cylinder part. The reinforcing ring covers, along the axial direction of the cylinder part, a part on an outer circumferential surface (1F) corresponding to a portion or the entirety of the engaging portion (12) between the cylinder part and the screwing part.

  • Publication number: 20210348724
    Abstract: A hydrogen pressure vessel capable of preventing hydrogen-induced cracking of a cylinder is provided. In a hydrogen pressure vessel according to one embodiment, a gap part (G) in which an inner peripheral surface of a cylinder (10) is spaced apart from an outer peripheral surface of a lid (20) is provided between a female thread part (10a) of the cylinder (10) into which the lid (20) is screwed, and a resin seal member (30), and the cylinder (10) includes a first through hole (41) for discharging gas in the gap part (G) into a relief pipe (51) and a second through hole (42) for introducing gas containing oxygen into the gap part (G) formed therein.
