Abstract

The present invention relates to the technical field of fuel cells, in particular to a structure of a solid oxide fuel cell connector and an assembly method thereof. The adopted technical solution is to include sealing protrusions and stress relief grooves arranged on the connector, the described A stress relief groove is arranged around the outer side of the sealing protrusion; a connecting pipe is arranged inside the stress relief groove, and the connecting pipe is used to connect the cavity surrounded by the air guide hole and the sealing protrusion. The present invention reduces the structural rigidity of the sealing protrusion and increases the structural flexibility of the sealing protrusion by setting the stress relief groove, reduces the tensile stress generated by the connecting body on the battery sheet, and prevents the single cell from being broken or the sealing joint from cracking or even Fatigue fracture, ultimately ensuring the stability of the sealing airtightness, the safety and economy of the battery stack; the stress relief groove can be used as a positioning groove when assembling and sealing, so as to realize the sealing process of the battery sheet through the positioning piece. The precise assembly and precise pressure application ensure the sealing integrity and joint sealing of single cells.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of fuel cells, in particular to a solid oxide fuel cell connecting body structure and an assembling method thereof. Background technique [0002] The structural rigidity of the traditional flat-type solid oxide fuel cell connector (metal) is large, and the thermal expansion coefficient of the connector and the single cell (ceramic) is quite different. Large tensile stress, especially in the cycle process, will generate cyclic thermal stress, which will lead to broken single cells or cracks (fatigue fractures) in the sealing joints. It is difficult to ensure the stability of air tightness, which will seriously affect the safety of the battery stack. sex and economy. In addition, the current connector structure and the battery sheet are difficult to achieve precise assembly and precise pressure application during the sealing process, which will affect the sealing integrity and joint sealing performance of the...
