When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.

[0056] The embodiment of the present invention provides a stack processing device for processing a hydrogen fuel cell stack, such as Figure 1 、 2As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the battery stack processing device includes a positioning assembly 100 and a limiting sleeve device 200. The positioning assembly 100 includes a carrier plate 110 and a plurality of positioning rods 120. The plurality of positioning rods 120 are at least partially arranged in pairs, and the limiting sleeve device 200 can be mounted on the paired positioning rods 120. The positioning assembly 100 can ensure that the battery stack 500 maintains good verticality and straightness when stacked, preventing the battery stack 500 from being misaligned or bent during stacking, and can ensure that the battery stack 500 maintains good airtightness during stacking, thereby exerting excellent performance.

[0057] In some optional embodiments, the battery stack 500 is composed of an upper end plate, a lower end plate, a spring, a spring cover plate, and hundreds of bipolar plate cells. The bipolar plate cells are stacked between the upper end plate and the lower end plate. The springs and the spring cover plate maintain internal stress for the pressurized and bundled battery stack 500.

[0058] like Figure 1 As shown, the positioning assembly 100 includes a carrier plate 110 and a plurality of positioning rods 120 . The plurality of positioning rods 120 are erected on the carrier plate 110 . The carrier plate 110 and the plurality of positioning rods 120 form a stack cavity. The stack 500 is accommodated and positioned in the stack cavity.

[0059] Preferably, if Figure 3 As shown, the positioning rods 120 include a first positioning rod 121, a second positioning rod 122, a third positioning rod 123, a fourth positioning rod 124, a fifth positioning rod 125, and a sixth positioning rod 126. The first positioning rod 121 is located on the left side of the carrier plate 110, the second positioning rod 122 and the third positioning rod 123 are located on the rear side of the carrier plate 110, and the second positioning rod 122 is located between the first positioning rod 121 and the third positioning rod 123. The sixth positioning rod 126 is located on the right side of the carrier plate 110, and the fourth positioning rod 124 and the fifth positioning rod 125 are located on the front side of the carrier plate 110, with the fourth positioning rod 124 located between the first positioning rod 121 and the fifth positioning rod 125.

[0060] like Figure 4 As shown, Figure 5 As shown, the limiting sleeve device 200 can be sleeved on the positioning rod 120 to limit the battery stack 500. The limiting sleeve device 200 includes a telescopic component 210 and a locking component 220. The telescopic component 210 has a first surface S1 and a second surface S2. At least some of the multiple positioning rods 120 are arranged in pairs. The paired positioning rods 120 can be passed through the telescopic component 210 and make the battery stack 500 contact the first surface S1. The locking component 220 is installed on the second surface S2.

[0061] The telescopic assembly includes a sliding plate 211 and a fixed plate 212, and the locking assembly 220 connects the sliding plate 211 and the fixed plate 212. The locking assembly 220 is installed on the second surface S2 of the telescopic assembly 210. The limiting sleeve device 200 has a first state and a second state, such as Figure 5 As shown, in the first state, the locking assembly 220 locks the positions of the sliding plate 211 and the fixed plate 212, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown, in the second state, the locking assembly 220 unlocks the positions of the sliding plate 211 and the fixed plate 212 , so that the sliding plate 211 and the fixed plate 212 can move relative to each other.

[0062] During stacking, after the battery stack 500 is aligned by the first positioning rod 121, the second positioning rod 122, and the third positioning rod 123, the battery stack 500 is placed in the battery stack cavity. Then, the fourth positioning rod 124, the fifth positioning rod 125, and the sixth positioning rod 126 are aligned with the carrier plate 110. Finally, the limiting sleeve device 200 is sleeved on the paired positioning rods 120. For example, Figure 3 As shown, the second positioning rod 122 and the fourth positioning rod 124 are arranged in pairs, and the third positioning rod 123 and the fifth positioning rod 125 are arranged in pairs. The limiting sleeve device 200 is set between the second positioning rod 122 and the fourth positioning rod 124 and between the third positioning rod 123 and the fifth positioning rod 125. Then the limiting sleeve device 200 is switched to the first state, so that the telescopic assembly 210 is in a compressed state, which can prevent the internal misalignment of the battery stack 500. Figure 7 As shown, the battery stack 500 is then threaded with the binding strap 400 and laser welded to complete the battery stack 500. After bundling, the limiting sleeve 200 is switched to the second state. The limiting sleeve 200 is then removed, followed by the fourth positioning rod 124, the fifth positioning rod 125, and the sixth positioning rod 126. Finally, the battery stack 500 is unloaded.

[0063] For example, Figure 3 As shown, the fourth, fifth, and sixth positioning rods 124, 125, and 126 are installed last to facilitate stacking of the fuel cell stack 500 and unloading of the finished fuel cell stack 500. The number and arrangement of the positioning rods 120 are not specifically limited; this is merely a preferred embodiment and can be adjusted based on actual conditions.

[0064] Alternatively, as Figure 7 As shown, the battery stack processing device further includes an insulating sheet 300 , which is installed on both sides of the battery stack 500 to prevent the battery stack 500 from being exposed and absorbing dust.

[0065] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 4As shown, the telescopic assembly 210 also includes an elastic member 213. The elastic member 213 elastically connects the sliding plate 211 to the fixed plate 212. In the first state, the elastic member 213 is in a compressed state. The coordination between the elastic member 213, the sliding plate 211, and the fixed plate 212 facilitates disassembly of the limiting sleeve device 200 and prevents deformation of the positioning rod 120 due to lateral forces from the battery stack 500.

[0066] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 5 、 6 As shown, the locking assembly 220 includes a limiting member 221, a driving member 222, and a transmission member 223. The driving member 222 can be operated manually or electrically, and the driving member 222 drives the transmission member 223, so that the transmission member 223 moves. The limiting member 221 is fixedly mounted on the sliding plate 211 and is located on the second surface S2. The driving member 222 is mounted on the fixed plate 212 and is located on the second surface S2. The transmission member 223 is connected to the driving member 222, and the movement of the driving member 222 can drive the movement of the transmission member 223, so that the locking assembly 220 locks or unlocks the position of the sliding plate 211 and the fixed plate 212, thereby switching the limiting sleeve device 200 between the first state and the second state.

[0067] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 5 、 6 As shown, the driving member 222 includes a first mounting shaft 2221 and an operating portion 2222. The first mounting shaft 2221 is fixedly mounted on the second surface S2 of the fixed plate 212. The operating portion 2222 is rotatably mounted on the first mounting shaft 2221. The operating portion 2222 includes a mounting hole AK extending perpendicularly to the extension direction of the operating portion 2222. The transmission member 223 includes a second mounting shaft 2231 and a transmission portion 2232. The second mounting shaft 2231 is movable through and has mounting holes AK extending from both ends. The transmission portion 2232 has a U-shaped structure and is fixedly connected to the ends of the second mounting shaft 2231. When the state of the limit sleeve device 200 needs to be switched, the operating portion 2222 is operated, causing the operating portion 2222 to rotate about the first mounting shaft 2221, thereby driving the transmission member 223 to move relative to the operating portion 2222.

[0068] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 5 、 6 As shown, the limiting member 221 has a recessed portion AR, which is recessed away from the transmission portion 2232. In a first state, the middle position of the U-shaped structure of the transmission portion 2232 is locked to the recessed portion AR. In a second state, the middle position of the U-shaped structure of the transmission portion 2232 is unlocked from the recessed portion AR. The recessed portion AR can restrict the movement of the transmission portion 2232, making the transmission portion 2232 more firmly fixed to the limiting member.

[0069] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 5 、 6 As shown, the transmission member 223 also includes a nut 2233, which is installed on the transmission part 2232 and can contact the second installation shaft 2231. The nut 2233 can fix or fine-tune the position of the transmission part 2232. The transmission part 2232 has a thread for the nut 2233 to move. Optionally, the number of nuts 2233 can be multiple. In a preferred embodiment, the number of nuts 2233 is four, and two nuts 2233 are respectively provided at the two intersections of the transmission part 2232 and the second installation shaft 2231. The position of the transmission part 2232 can be fine-tuned by moving the nut 2233, so that the use range of the limit sleeve device 200 is wider, and the stability of the stacking of the battery stack 500 is also promoted.

[0070] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 5 、 6 As shown, the locking assembly 220 further includes a locking hole 224, and the limiting sleeve device 200 further includes a locking member 230. One end of the locking member 230 is connected to the telescopic assembly 210, and the other end of the locking portion 231 has a locking portion 231. Preferably, the locking hole 224 is elliptical in shape, and the locking portion 231 is rotatable. The locking portion 231 is elliptical and can be accommodated in the locking hole 224. The length of the major axis of the elliptical locking portion 231 is greater than the length of the minor axis of the elliptical locking hole 224. Therefore, after the locking portion 231 rotates to a certain angle, it can lock the locking member 230 in place, so that the limiting sleeve device 200 is locked in the first state. The provision of the locking portion 231 can make the limiting sleeve device 200 more stable in the first state.

[0071] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the sliding plate 211 includes a protrusion 2111 located on a side close to the fixed plate 212. The fixed plate 212 includes a sliding groove 2121 located on a side close to the sliding plate 211. The protrusion 2111 can slide in the sliding groove 2121, causing the elastic member 213 to expand and contract in a directional manner. The protrusion 2111 moves in the sliding groove 2121, guiding the movement direction of the sliding plate 211.

[0072] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, there are two elastic members 213, and the protrusion 2111 is located between the two elastic members 213. The arrangement of the two elastic members 213 makes the sliding of the sliding plate 211 relative to the fixed plate 212 more stable. The number of the elastic members 213 is not specifically limited.

[0073] The embodiment of the present invention further provides a battery stack processing method, which is applied to the battery stack processing device of any of the above embodiments. Figure 8 As shown, the battery stack processing method includes steps S110 to S170.

[0074] In step S110, part of the positioning rods 120 are manually erected on the carrier plate 110; in step S120, the battery stack 500 is installed and aligned in the battery stack cavity enclosed by the carrier plate 110 and part of the positioning rods 120 by a conveying mechanism; in step S130, the remaining positioning rods 120 are manually installed on the carrier plate 110; in step S140, the limiting sleeve device 200 is manually sleeved between the paired positioning rods 120, and the limiting sleeve device 200 is switched to the first state; in step S150, the battery stack 500 is welded with the strap 400 by a strap welding machine; in step S160, after completing the welding of the strap 400, the limiting sleeve device 200 is manually switched to the second state; in step S170, the limiting sleeve device 200 is manually removed, and the remaining positioning rods 120 are manually removed to complete the battery stack unloading.

[0075] For example, Figure 1 、 2 As shown in Figures 3 and 7, the positioning rods 120 include a first positioning rod 121, a second positioning rod 122, a third positioning rod 123, a fourth positioning rod 124, a fifth positioning rod 125, and a sixth positioning rod 126.
