In order to allow hydrogen to pass through the limit block 14, the limit block 14 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the positive electrode 3. The bottom surface of the slide bar 15 is fixedly connected with a gas plug 16. The side wall of the gas plug 16 is an arc surface, and the diameter of the side wall of the gas plug 16 is smaller than the diameter of the bottom surface of the gas plug 16. In order to enable the gas plug 16 to block the first air hole 17, the bottom surface diameter of the gas plug 16 is larger than the diameter of the first air hole 17, and the bottom end of the first air hole 17 is The battery shell 1 is arc-shaped to ensure the airtightness of the air plug 16 and the first air hole 17.

[0020] The working principle of the micro fuel cell structure provided by the present invention is as follows:
[0021] Before use, the fuel cell needs to be inflated. Hydrogen is introduced into the second air hole 18 through the air nozzle 6. The gas increases the pressure on the upper end of the gas dish 12 as it is filled. Under the action of the pressure, the hydrogen causes the gas dish 12 to slide downward, so that the slide bar 15 pushes the gas plug 16 to separate from the bottom air port of the second air hole 18, and the hydrogen of the compressed spring 13 passes through the first air hole 17 and the second air hole 18 on the limit block 14 at the same time, and is finally introduced into the air cavity 7. After the inflation is completed, when the inflation is stopped, the pressure on the upper end of the gas dish 12 is reduced. Under the action of the elastic potential energy of the spring 13, the gas dish 12 is reset, and then the gas plug 16 blocks the second air hole 18 again, so that the gas will not escape. When in use, oxygen passes through the hole 2 on the battery shell 1, and reacts electrochemically with the hydrogen fuel inside the air cavity 7 under the action of the proton exchange membrane 11 and the catalyst 10, thereby generating electrical energy.
