Hydrogen safety issues constrain the development and diffusion of hydrogen energy technologies. The current research on tube types in high-pressure hydrogen storage and transportation links is insufficient. In this paper, the spontaneous combustion law and the propagation characteristics of the shock wave in the tube after accidental leakage of high-pressure hydrogen in a bifurcated tube with a blocking structure are investigated by experimental means. By changing the relative position of the bifurcation structure, it is found that moving the bifurcation position upstream can effectively reduce the intensity of the shock wave at the nozzle of the tube, the propagation velocity of the shock wave inside the tube and the critical ignition pressure. There are three ignition possibilities in the bifurcated tube with blocking structure, and quenching can be realized in the tube under lower pressure.
