Description

[0002] In the related technology, proton exchange membrane fuel cells are a new fuel source with high efficiency, low noise and low pollution. The efficiency of conventional proton exchange membrane fuel cell stacks reaches about 50%, and half of the energy will be released in the form of heat. If the heat at this time cannot be discharged in time, the temperature of the battery stack will rise sharply, which will cause the membrane to dehydrate and lead to the decline of battery stack performance. In severe cases, it will cause irreversible damage to the battery, that is, the fuel cell stack has a serious heating problem during operation. The conventional heat dissipation method of the current battery stack is to sandwich the heat sink between the cathode plate and the anode plate to form an independent heat dissipation unit, but this

[0003] The heat dissipation method of the battery stack not only increases the complexity of the battery stack design, but also brings certain challenges to the sealing of the battery stack; if a heat sink with a corrugated cross section is embedded in the cooling medium flow channel of the metal cathode plate, the heat sink position corresponds to the bottom of the cooling medium flow channel of the metal cathode plate, and then the metal cathode plate is fixed to the metal anode plate, the heat dissipation of the battery stack can be achieved, but this design process is complicated and may cause uneven temperature distribution inside the battery stack.

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present invention and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present invention described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, for example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units that are clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices. Example

[0027] The embodiments of the present invention can be applied to the temperature control environment of fuel cell stacks, the types of which include but are not limited to: air-cooled fuel cell stacks, proton exchange membrane fuel cell stacks, and the application equipment includes but is not limited to: buses, cars, logistics vehicles, unmanned vehicles, etc. Multiple ventilation ducts are used, and the ventilation ducts adjacent to the fuel cell stack include multiple variable sub-ducts. By adjusting the number of ducts opened, the temperature of the battery stack can be accurately controlled.

[0028] A fuel cell stack includes, but is not limited to, a membrane electrode, a proton exchange membrane, a plate, a catalyst, a gas diffusion layer, and a battery stack, wherein a battery stack may refer to a stack composed of multiple single cells connected in series or in parallel. The fuel cell stack and the fuel cell stack involved in the embodiments of the present invention have the same meaning.

[0029] According to one aspect of an embodiment of the present invention, a temperature control system for a fuel cell stack is provided, comprising: a fuel cell stack and a fan, a variable heat dissipation duct, and a controller, wherein:

[0030] A fuel cell stack and a fan, wherein the fan is used to provide air volume to the air duct; the fuel cell stack may be an air-cooled fuel cell stack, and air is blown to the fuel cell stack by the fan to achieve stack cooling;

[0031] A variable heat dissipation duct is provided between the fuel cell stack and the fan, and the variable heat dissipation duct includes at least: a plurality of heat dissipation sub-ducts; in the embodiment of the present invention, variable means that the number of sub-ducts is variable, and the adjustment of the blowing air cooling and the wind speed is achieved by changing the number of sub-ducts;

[0032] The controller is used to adjust the number of opening or closing of the heat dissipation sub-air ducts to control the temperature of the fuel cell stack. In the embodiment of the present invention, the temperature refers to the temperature of the fuel cell stack itself or the internal temperature. For example, when the temperature of the fuel cell stack is detected to be in different temperature ranges of 0-10°C, 10°C-50°C, reaching 50°C, and exceeding 65°C, the number of opening of the sub-air ducts is adjusted according to the temperature range.

[0033] The controller may be a single chip microcomputer in the temperature control system, wherein the membrane electrode refers to a component including a proton exchange membrane, a catalyst, and a gas diffusion layer.

[0034] The temperature control system of the fuel cell stack adopts a fan to provide air volume to the air duct, and a variable heat dissipation air duct is set between the fuel cell stack and the fan. The variable heat dissipation air duct includes at least: multiple heat dissipation sub-air ducts, and the number of opening or closing of multiple heat dissipation sub-air ducts is adjusted by a controller to control the temperature of the fuel cell stack. In this embodiment, the variable heat dissipation air duct can be used to adjust the number of opening sub-air ducts to accurately control the temperature of the battery stack, ensuring the efficient and stable operation of the fuel cell, thereby solving the technical problem of uneven temperature distribution in the fuel cell stack in the related art.

[0035] As an optional embodiment of the present invention, the variable heat dissipation air duct includes: a plurality of valve plates, which are respectively arranged corresponding to each heat dissipation sub-air duct, and are used to control the air volume provided to the corresponding area of ​​the fuel cell stack.

[0036] Optionally, the valve plate is arranged at the end of the air duct of each heat dissipating sub-air duct.

[0037] In the embodiment of the present invention, a button for controlling the opening and closing of the valve plate is provided on the valve plate of each heat dissipating sub-duct.

[0038] Optionally, the temperature control system also includes: a solenoid valve connected to the variable heat dissipation air duct for adjusting the air volume.

[0039] Alternatively, the temperature control system further includes: a first ventilation duct, arranged between the fan and the solenoid valve.

[0040] Optionally, the temperature control system also includes: an air filter, which filters impurities and pollutants in the air after inhaling the air, wherein the impurities and pollutants include at least air particulate matter; a second ventilation duct, which is arranged between the air filter and the fan, and is used to introduce the first part of the filtered air into the fuel cell stack to provide oxygen for the fuel cell stack.

[0041] In an embodiment of the present invention, the variable heat dissipation duct, the first ventilation duct and the second ventilation duct are all consistent with the cross-sectional dimensions of the fuel cell stack.

[0042] Optionally, the temperature control system further includes: an exhaust flow channel, which is used to discharge the other air except the first part of the filtered air out of the air channel, and discharge the heat generated during the operation of the fuel cell stack. The exhaust flow channel can be set at the double machine board of the fuel cell stack. After the air filtered of particulate matter enters the fuel cell stack, the oxygen in a part of the air can be used to provide oxygen for the air-cooled fuel cell, and the excess air is directly discharged through the exhaust flow channel in the stack, and at the same time, the heat generated during the operation of the air-cooled fuel cell stack can be taken away.

[0043] Optionally, the temperature control system also includes: a temperature sensing module, which is arranged on the outer surface of the fuel cell stack and is used to detect the stack temperature of the fuel cell stack.

[0044] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of an optional fuel cell stack temperature control system according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the temperature control system includes: an air filter 1, a first common ventilation duct 2, a fan 3, a second common ventilation duct 4, a solenoid valve 5, a variable heat dissipation duct 6, a battery stack 7, and a temperature sensor 8.

[0045] Above Figure 1 The temperature control system shown removes impurities (e.g., particulate matter) in the air through an air filter 1 and the air enters a first common ventilation duct 2. A portion of the oxygen in the air provides oxygen for the fuel cell stack, and the excess air is discharged through the exhaust duct, while taking away the heat generated during the operation of the fuel cell stack.

[0046] exist Figure 1 A controller may be provided in the electromagnetic valve 5 and the variable heat dissipation air duct 6.

[0047] The present invention adds a temperature control system for the fuel cell stack, and a temperature sensor 8 is arranged on the surface of the fuel cell stack. The temperature of the fuel cell stack is collected by the temperature sensor 8, and the temperature of the fuel cell stack is fed back.

[0048] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of an optional variable heat dissipation duct according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 2 As shown, the sub-air ducts in the variable heat dissipation air duct in the present invention are variable, and a valve plate is provided at the end of each air duct that contacts the battery stack. A button for controlling the opening and closing of the valve plate is installed on the valve plate of each sub-air duct. By adjusting the opening and closing of the valve plate, the opening and closing of the air ducts in different areas can be further realized, which can not only shorten the startup time of the fuel cell stack, but also make the temperature of the fuel cell stack evenly distributed, which is conducive to better performance of its performance.

[0049] Through the temperature feedback of the temperature sensor, the solenoid valve 5 controls the opening and closing buttons on different sub-air ducts, controls the opening number of sub-air ducts in the variable heat dissipation air duct, opens and closes different sub-air ducts under different temperature conditions, and realizes precise temperature control and uniform temperature distribution of the fuel cell stack.

[0050] For example, when the temperature of the fuel cell stack is between 0 and 10°C, the sub-air duct 1 is opened, the air volume passing through the stack is small, and the heat dissipation effect is poor, which is conducive to the accumulation of heat in the air-cooled fuel cell stack, so that the stack heats up quickly and the startup time is shortened;

[0051] When the temperature of the fuel cell stack is between 10°C and 50°C, the sub-air ducts 1 and 3 are opened to increase the air volume passing through the stack, slowing down the heating speed of the stack, making the stack heat up slowly and evenly, and achieving uniform distribution of the temperature of the fuel cell stack;

[0052] When the temperature of the fuel cell stack reaches 50°C, sub-air ducts 1, 3, and 5 are opened, and the air volume passing through the stack is increased again to control the heating rate of the stack and ensure stable operation of the stack (50°C-65°C).

[0053] When the temperature of the fuel cell stack exceeds 65°C, open sub-air ducts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 to increase the air volume, speed up the heat dissipation of the stack, and control the stack to operate under the optimal temperature conditions.

[0054] Above Figure 1 The first common ventilation duct 2, the second common ventilation duct 4, and the variable heat dissipation duct 6 are all consistent with the cross-sectional dimensions of the battery stack.

[0055] Optionally, the fan and the solenoid valve in the embodiment of the present invention are both arranged inside the first common ventilation duct and the second common ventilation duct.

[0056] In the embodiment of the present invention, different sub-air ducts in the variable heat dissipation air duct control the air volume and wind speed in different areas of the fuel cell stack, thereby achieving precise temperature control of different areas of the fuel cell, thereby solving the problem of uneven temperature distribution of the fuel cell stack and ensuring efficient and stable operation of the fuel cell.

[0057] The present invention is described below in conjunction with another embodiment. Example
