Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, although the hot pressing method is currently the most common method for fabricating membrane exchange components for fuel cells, the hot pressing method may cause structural deformation in the porous catalyst layer and gas diffusion layer, and cause slow gas transport and high electrical resistance, Moreover, the hot pressing method can also lead to a large amount of catalyst immersion into the catalyst-coated gas diffusion layer, resulting in waste

Abstract

The invention discloses an ultrasonic spot welding system for a membrane electrode assembly of a fuel cell and solves the problem of assembly of the membrane electrode assembly of the fuel cell. The ultrasonic spot welding system for the membrane electrode assembly of the fuel cell comprises a driving mechanism, an ultrasonic spot welding mechanism, a clamp mechanism, a carrying seat mechanism, apressure testing mechanism and a data acquisition mechanism, and can carry out ultrasonic spot welding to a gas diffusion layer and a proton exchange membrane of the fuel cell to achieve a novel modeof mechanically interlocking the gas diffusion layer and the proton exchange membrane. The ultrasonic spot welding system for the membrane electrode assembly of the fuel cell is a feasible technologyreplacing hot pressing and has the advantages of lowering the cost of energy sources and shortening the treatment time.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of welding, and more specifically relates to an ultrasonic spot welding system for a membrane electrode assembly of a fuel cell. Background technique [0002] Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) use polymer membranes as solid electrolytes, so they have the characteristics of high energy conversion rate, low-temperature start-up, and no electrolyte leakage. The preferred power source for permanent power stations. [0003] At present, the assembly of membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs) mostly adopts a "sandwich" structure. The more conventional method is to impregnate the binder on the base carbon paper, then spray or brush the gas diffusion layer, then spray the catalyst ink on the gas diffusion layer with a spray gun, and finally assemble the MEA by hot pressing the cathode and anode on both sides of the PEM. . [0004] However, although the hot pressing method is currently the most common method for fabri...
