Because the working frequency of the electromagnetic valve is 30-50 Hz, the electromagnetic valve type hydrogen injection has high failure rate and poor reliability. The service life of the electromagnetic valve is generally short.

[0010] In order to solve the above technical problems, the second technical solution adopted by the present application is:

[0011] A fuel cell system comprising the hydrogen injector described above.

[0012] In order to solve the above technical problems, the third technical solution adopted by the present application is:

[0013] A vehicle comprising the hydrogen injector described above.

[0014] The present application has the advantages that: by using the motor to control the movement of the driving rod, the stroke of the baffle is controlled, and because the gap between the through area of the channel and the baffle is fixed or adjusted as needed, the control is easy to calibrate; and the power source is the motor, which has low working frequency, low failure rate, good reliability, and simple overall structure, facilitating maintenance.
