[0025] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0026] It should be noted that the following detailed descriptions are illustrative and intended to provide further explanation of this application. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains.
[0027] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to this application. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.
[0028] This invention provides a detection method, please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The detection method includes: Step S1: The membrane electrode 200 of the fuel cell is clamped between the anode plate 10 and the cathode plate 20 of the detection device. The anode plate 10 and the cathode plate 20 will press the membrane electrode 200, and the membrane electrode 200 will be compressed. The compression rate of the membrane electrode 200 is controlled within a preset compression range. The compression rate is the ratio of the compression amount of the membrane electrode 200 to the thickness of the membrane electrode 200 before compression. The compression amount of the membrane electrode 200 is the difference between the thickness of the membrane electrode 200 before compression and the thickness of the membrane electrode 200 after compression. Step S2: The anode plate 10 and the cathode plate 20 are electrically connected to the power supply component of the detection device, and the anode plate 10 and the cathode plate 20 are connected to the power supply component of the detection device. All 20 are electrically connected to the voltage detection component of the detection device so that the voltage detection component can detect the voltage value of the membrane electrode 200; Step S3: Control the power supply component to provide constant current power to charge the membrane electrode 200; wherein, multiple detection time points are set within the charging time range during the charging process of the membrane electrode 200, so that the voltage detection component detects the voltage value at multiple detection time points to fit the voltage change curve of the membrane electrode 200 during the charging process; within the charging time range during the charging process of the membrane electrode 200, there are preset time points; based on the voltage value of the membrane electrode 200 at the preset time point, it is determined whether the test voltage of the membrane electrode 200 is qualified.
[0029] It should be noted that, along the thickness direction of the membrane electrode 200, the membrane electrode 200 has an anode side and a cathode side. When the membrane electrode 200 is not compressed, the anode side and the cathode side of the membrane electrode 200 are in a disconnected state and do not contact each other. The membrane electrode 200 needs to be compressed to make the anode side and the cathode side of the membrane electrode 200 contact each other, thereby making the anode side and the cathode side of the membrane electrode 200 electrically connected. When the compressive force acting on the membrane electrode 200 disappears, the membrane electrode 200 will expand to return to the disconnected state where the anode side and the cathode side do not contact each other.
[0030] The detection method of this application detects whether the test voltage of the membrane electrode 200 is qualified by charging the membrane electrode 200, so as to determine whether the membrane electrode 200 is qualified. Compared with the existing method of analyzing the electrochemical parameters of the membrane electrode to determine whether the membrane electrode is qualified, the detection method of this application is simple to operate and the detection process is short, which greatly improves the efficiency of detecting the membrane electrode 200 and solves the problem of low efficiency of membrane electrode detection in the prior art.
[0031] It should be noted that the voltage parameters required for analyzing the electrochemical parameters of membrane electrodes in the prior art are different from the voltage of the membrane electrode 200 detected in this application. Therefore, the qualification of the membrane electrode cannot be directly determined based on the voltage parameters required for analyzing the electrochemical parameters of membrane electrodes in the prior art.
[0032] In addition, the detection method of this application can be carried out in a normal environment and does not require a special environment such as hydrogen, so there is no gas safety hazard, making the detection method of this application highly safe.
[0033] Specifically, the preset compression range is greater than 0 and less than or equal to 40%.
[0034] Specifically, the preset time point can be one of multiple detection time points, or it can be any of the detection time points.
[0035] Specifically, the preset time point ranges from 0.5 seconds to 20 seconds; the value of the preset time point is determined according to the type of membrane electrode 200.
[0036] Optionally, the preset time point is 2 seconds, which is the time point when the power supply component charges the membrane electrode 200 for 2 seconds.
[0037] Specifically, the power supply component supplies constant current to the membrane electrode 200 with a preset current, the preset current ranging from 0.01A to 5A.
[0038] In this embodiment, in step S1, the compression ratio of the membrane electrode 200 is controlled within a preset compression range by controlling the pressing force of the anode plate 10 and the cathode plate 20 on the membrane electrode 200 within a preset pressing range.
[0039] Optionally, the preset pressing range is 2NM to 15NM; where NM is the torque unit, N is Newton and M is meter.
[0040] In this embodiment, the method for determining whether the test voltage of the membrane electrode 200 is qualified includes: when the voltage value of the membrane electrode 200 at a preset time point is greater than a first preset voltage value or less than a second preset voltage value, the test voltage of the membrane electrode 200 is determined to be unqualified; when the voltage value of the membrane electrode 200 at a preset time point is greater than or equal to the second preset voltage value and less than or equal to the first preset voltage value, the test voltage of the membrane electrode 200 is determined to be qualified; wherein, the first preset voltage value is greater than the second preset voltage value.
[0041] Specifically, the first preset voltage value ranges from 0.3V to 1.5V; the second preset voltage value ranges from 0.1V to 0.8V; both the first and second preset voltage values are determined according to the type of membrane electrode 200.
[0042] Optionally, the first preset voltage value is 0.35V, and the second preset voltage value is 0.25V.
[0043] In this embodiment, the detection device includes two electrode plates 50, namely an anode plate 10 and a cathode plate 20; each electrode plate 50 is provided with a flow hole 51, the first end of the flow hole 51 extends to the plate surface of the electrode plate 50 facing the membrane electrode 200, and the second end of the flow hole 51 extends to the outer peripheral wall of the electrode plate 50.
[0044] While the power supply component charges the membrane electrode 200, the detection method also includes: connecting and communicating the second port of the flow hole 51 of one electrode plate 50 of the detection device with the gas path of the flow meter, and introducing gas into the second port of the flow hole 51 of the other electrode plate 50; during the process of introducing gas into the second port of the flow hole 51 of the other electrode plate 50, judging whether the air tightness of the membrane electrode 200 is qualified based on the reading of the flow meter.
[0045] As can be seen, the detection method of this application can simultaneously detect the test voltage and airtightness of the membrane electrode 200, which is beneficial to improving the efficiency of detecting the membrane electrode 200.
[0046] It should be noted that, theoretically, gas cannot pass through the membrane electrode 200, so if gas is supplied to one side of the membrane electrode 200, no gas will be collected on the other side; if there is gas on the other side of the membrane electrode 200, the amount of gas on the other side of the membrane electrode 200 is the amount of gas passing through the membrane electrode 200; the reading of the flow meter is the amount of gas passing through the membrane electrode 200.
[0047] In this embodiment, the method for determining whether the airtightness of the membrane electrode 200 is qualified includes: when the flow meter reading is less than the preset flow rate, the airtightness of the membrane electrode 200 is qualified; when the flow meter reading is greater than or equal to the preset flow rate, the airtightness of the membrane electrode 200 is unqualified.
[0048] The present invention also provides a detection device for detecting the membrane electrode 200 of a fuel cell, and this detection device is applicable to the above-described detection method; as follows. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the detection device includes two electrode plates 50 arranged opposite each other, a power supply component, and a voltage detection component. The two electrode plates 50 are an anode plate 10 and a cathode plate 20, respectively, forming a clamping space between the anode plate 10 and the cathode plate 20 for clamping the membrane electrode 200. Both the anode plate 10 and the cathode plate 20 are electrically connected to the power supply component so that the power supply component supplies a constant current to the membrane electrode 200. Both the anode plate 10 and the cathode plate 20 are electrically connected to the voltage detection component so that the voltage detection component detects the voltage value of the membrane electrode 200, thereby detecting the test voltage of the membrane electrode 200.
[0049] The detection device of this application has a simple structure, which makes it easy to operate the detection of the test voltage of the membrane electrode 200 using the detection device of this application, which is beneficial to improving the efficiency of detection of the membrane electrode 200.
[0050] Specifically, one surface of the anode plate 10 is used to contact one surface of the membrane electrode 200, and one surface of the cathode plate 20 is used to contact the other surface of the membrane electrode 200.
[0051] Specifically, the surface of the anode plate 10 and the surface of the cathode plate 20 are both greater than or equal to the surface of the membrane electrode 200.
[0052] In this embodiment, the detection device further includes a constant current power supply 30, which includes a power supply component and a voltage detection component, that is, the constant current power supply 30 has both power supply and voltage detection functions.
[0053] In the specific implementation process, the constant current power supply 30 is electrically connected to the anode plate 10 and the cathode plate 20, so as to realize that the power supply component is electrically connected to both the anode plate 10 and the cathode plate 20, and the voltage detection component is electrically connected to both the anode plate 10 and the cathode plate 20.
[0054] In this embodiment, there are two voltage detection components, namely a first voltage detection component and a second voltage detection component; the first voltage detection component is the voltage detection component included in the constant current power supply 30; the second voltage detection component is the voltage acquisition unit 40; by setting two voltage detection components, the voltage detection result of the membrane electrode 200 is ensured.
[0055] In the specific implementation process, the constant current power supply 30 is electrically connected to the anode plate 10 and the cathode plate 20, and the voltage acquisition device 40 is electrically connected to the anode plate 10 and the cathode plate 20.
[0056] In this embodiment, each electrode plate 50 is provided with a flow hole 51. The first end of the flow hole 51 extends to the plate surface of the electrode plate 50 facing the membrane electrode 200, and the second end of the flow hole 51 extends to the outer peripheral wall of the electrode plate 50. The second port of the flow hole 51 of one electrode plate 50 is used to connect and communicate with the gas path of the flow meter, and the second port of the flow hole 51 of the other electrode plate 50 is used to introduce gas to detect the air tightness of the membrane electrode 200. Therefore, the detection device of this application simultaneously performs the functions of detecting the test voltage and air tightness of the membrane electrode 200, which can simultaneously detect both the test voltage and air tightness of the membrane electrode 200, thus improving the efficiency of detecting the membrane electrode 200.
[0057] Optionally, such as Figure 2 As shown, the first end of the flow hole 51 extends to the plate surface of the electrode plate 50 facing the membrane electrode 200, and the second end of the flow hole 51 extends to the other plate surface of the electrode plate 50.
[0058] Specifically, the flow hole 51 on the anode plate 10 is a first flow hole, with its first end extending to the plate surface of the anode plate 10 facing the membrane electrode 200, and its second end extending to the outer peripheral wall of the anode plate 10. The flow hole 51 on the cathode plate 20 is a second flow hole, with its first end extending to the plate surface of the cathode plate 20 facing the membrane electrode 200, and its second end extending to the outer peripheral wall of the cathode plate 20.
[0059] Optionally, the second port of the first flow-through orifice is used to introduce gas, and the second port of the second flow-through orifice is used to connect and communicate with the gas path of the flow meter. Alternatively, the second port of the second flow-through orifice is used to introduce gas, and the second port of the first flow-through orifice is used to connect and communicate with the gas path of the flow meter.
[0060] The detection method of this application is used to detect multiple membrane electrodes 200 respectively, that is, the detection device of this application is used to detect multiple membrane electrodes 200 respectively. After the detection of one membrane electrode 200 is completed, the membrane electrode 200 is transferred to the next production step; then the other membrane electrode 200 is detected.
[0061] For example, the detection method of this application is used to detect five membrane electrodes 200 respectively, namely the first membrane electrode 201, the second membrane electrode 202, the third membrane electrode 203, the fourth membrane electrode 204 and the fifth membrane electrode 205. Figure 3The graphs showing the voltage changes of the five membrane electrodes 200 over time during charging are shown. The voltage of the second membrane electrode 202 after 2 seconds of charging is less than 0.25V, while the voltage of the fourth membrane electrode 204 after 2 seconds of charging is greater than 0.35V. Therefore, both the second and fourth membrane electrodes 202 and 204 are unqualified, meaning they are samples with missing coatings. The voltages of the first, third, and fifth membrane electrodes 201, 203, and 205 after 2 seconds of charging are all greater than 0.25V and less than 0.35V, therefore, the test voltages of the first, third, and fifth membrane electrodes 201 and 203 after 2 seconds of charging are all qualified.
[0062] In the specific implementation process, after the membrane electrode 200 is charged, the membrane electrode 200 is discharged so that when the voltage of the membrane electrode 200 drops to the third preset voltage, the discharge stops and the next membrane electrode 200 is replaced; or, the power can be turned off directly to replace the next membrane electrode 200.
[0063] As can be seen from the above description, the embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects:
[0064] In the detection method provided by the present invention, the detection method includes: Step S1: The membrane electrode 200 of the fuel cell is clamped between the anode plate 10 and the cathode plate 20 of the detection device. The anode plate 10 and the cathode plate 20 will press the membrane electrode 200, and the membrane electrode 200 will be compressed; the compression rate of the membrane electrode 200 is controlled within a preset compression range; the compression rate is the ratio of the compression amount of the membrane electrode 200 to the thickness of the membrane electrode 200 before compression, and the compression amount of the membrane electrode 200 is the difference between the thickness of the membrane electrode 200 before compression and the thickness of the membrane electrode 200 after compression; Step S2: The anode plate 10 and the cathode plate 20 are electrically connected to the power supply component of the detection device, and the anode plate... Both plate 10 and cathode plate 20 are electrically connected to the voltage detection component of the detection device so that the voltage detection component can detect the voltage value of membrane electrode 200; Step S3: Control the power supply component to provide constant current power to charge membrane electrode 200; wherein, multiple detection time points are set within the charging time range during the charging process of membrane electrode 200, so that the voltage detection component detects the voltage value at multiple detection time points to fit the voltage change curve of membrane electrode 200 during the charging process; within the charging time range during the charging process of membrane electrode 200, there are preset time points; based on the voltage value of membrane electrode 200 at the preset time point, it is determined whether the test voltage of membrane electrode 200 is qualified.
[0065] The detection method of this application detects whether the test voltage of the membrane electrode 200 is qualified by charging the membrane electrode 200, so as to determine whether the membrane electrode 200 is qualified. Compared with the existing method of analyzing the electrochemical parameters of the membrane electrode to determine whether the membrane electrode is qualified, the detection method of this application is simple to operate and the detection process is short, which greatly improves the efficiency of detecting the membrane electrode 200 and solves the problem of low efficiency of membrane electrode detection in the prior art.
