Problems solved by technology

[0002] A fuel cell is a power generation device that converts the chemical energy stored in fuel and oxidant into electrical energy through an electrochemical reaction. The battery inspection system is a device used to monitor the battery voltage and ensure the normal operation of the battery. Usually, the fuel cell passes The bipolar plate combines multiple single cells in series to form a fuel cell stack as its application form. Metal bipolar plates are widely used in fuel cell stacks due to their high strength, excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, and good gas barrier properties. , the battery stack voltage is obtained by accumulating the voltage of multiple single cells, then accurate monitoring of the voltage of each single cell of the battery stack is the premise to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the overall battery stack, and the battery inspection system The effective connection with each single cell of the fuel cell stack plays a key role. Since there is no interface connected to the battery inspection system on the usual metal bipolar plate, the single fuel cell and the battery inspection system in the prior art The inspection system is mainly connected by welding the lead wires connected to the inspection interface on the metal bipolar plate. This method has the following problems: the welding method, due to the small thickness of the metal bipolar plate, makes each metal bipolar plate The distance between the plates is also very small, so the improper size of the solder joints in the welding parts will cause the short circuit between the metal bipolar plates and damage the fuel cell; After the small metal bipolar plates are connected to form the battery stack, it will be difficult for welding tools to enter, and re-welding is not only very difficult, but also easily damages other components in the fuel cell stack; in addition, when the fuel cell stack needs to be disassembled again, It is necessary to open the welding part, which is not only labor-intensive and time-consuming, but also easily causes damage to the parts
