Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of proton exchange membrane fuel cells, in particular to an automatic stacking system for fuel cells. Background technique [0002] The proton exchange membrane fuel cell is composed of multiple single cells stacked in series, fastened by internal positioning screws or clips. Composition of fuel cell stacks. When the stack is working, hydrogen and oxygen enter from the inlet respectively, and are distributed to the bipolar plates of each single cell through the main channel of the stack. When stacking, it is necessary to ensure that the plates are pressed against each other to prevent gas leakage, and ensure that the main gas channels of each plate are aligned so that hydrogen and oxygen can reach each single cell of the fuel cell smoothly. The stacking quality of the fuel cell is closely related to the performance of the battery product. If there is no good positioning device for each single cell during a...

Problems solved by technology

However, when the nut is locked, the locking sequence is completed independently, resulting in a sequence of locking and differences in locking. It is difficult to control the balance of the final tightening, resulting in the uneven pressure on the top and bottom of the end plate, and the bipolar plate and membrane inside the stack. It is also difficult to balance the direct mutual pressure of the electrodes; and there are processing errors in raw materials such as bipolar plates, and the processing errors will accumulate during final assembly, which will increase the unevenness of the force inside the stack.

When the contact pressure in s...
