[0002] Hydrogen fuel cells are known as the "ultimate energy source of the 21st century". With no secondary pollution during the energy production process and being clean and healthy as the fundamental, after the fuel cell consumes the renewable resource "hydrogen", while generating electric energy, a large amount of heat energy is released. A hydrogen fuel cell is an energy conversion device that can continuously convert chemical energy into electric energy through oxidation-reduction reactions occurring at the anode and cathode. Characteristics: As long as the supply of fuel and oxidant is maintained, the fuel cell will continuously generate electric energy. The fuel cell converts the chemical energy stored in the fuel into electric energy. As a new type of chemical power source, the fuel cell is the fourth power generation technology after hydraulic power generation, thermal power generation, and nuclear power generation. There is an existing patent for a heat energy recovery system for a hydrogen fuel cell engine. The patent publication number CN215527769U includes a fuel cell engine, a heat dissipation system, a water-heat system, a temperature control system, and an energy recovery system. This application utilizes the heat absorption and release during the phase change process in the energy recovery system to achieve the recovery and utilization of the waste heat energy of the fuel cell, effectively solving the problem in the prior art that energy cannot be stored, ultimately realizing the concept of secondary utilization of environmental protection energy, and bringing huge benefits to the economy of energy at the same time.

[0029] 3. Beneficial effects

[0030] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are as follows:

[0031] (1) In this solution, through the gas pumping mechanism, it can be connected to the power generation mechanism and the heat collection mechanism, so that the gas pumping mechanism can pump upward the heat dissipated by the fuel cell engine covered by the heat collection mechanism. Then, the heat can flow through the power generation mechanism and be discharged through the gas pumping mechanism. The heat transfer mechanism can be installed in the inner cavity of the heat collection mechanism or directly attached to the outer wall of the fuel cell engine, enabling the fuel cell engine to directly heat the heat transfer mechanism. Then, through the liquid reflux mechanism, it can be connected to the power generation mechanism and the heat transfer mechanism, so that the heated liquid in the heat transfer mechanism can be pumped out, flow through the power generation mechanism, and then the liquid flowing through the power generation mechanism is pumped out for cooling and finally refluxed and transported back to the heat transfer mechanism to form a cycle, which can not only cool the fuel cell engine but also recover the heat energy dissipated by the fuel cell engine;

[0032] Since both the liquid and gas flowing through the bottom surface of the power generation mechanism will heat the bottom surface of the power generation mechanism, the bottom of the power generation mechanism becomes very hot. However, the temperature of the upper surface of the power generation mechanism is low, resulting in a certain temperature difference between the upper and lower surfaces of the power generation mechanism, which facilitates the power generation of the power generation mechanism, achieving the conversion of heat energy into electrical energy and playing a role in recovering heat energy.

[0033] (2) In this solution, through the collection cover in the heat collection mechanism, it can be fixed to the outer wall of the fuel cell engine through the fixing piece and connected to one of the input ends of the power generation mechanism through the air duct, so that the hot air can be conducted to the bottom of the power generation mechanism and then heat the bottom of the power generation mechanism. Through the hollowed-out tray, the flowing hot air can be filtered to prevent foreign objects from entering the power generation mechanism.

[0034] (3) In this solution, through the positioning frame in the power generation mechanism, two thermoelectric generators can be installed and fixed. Then, the two thermoelectric generators can be respectively installed with corresponding heat conduction components and heat dissipation components. Next, the two heat conduction components are respectively connected to the heat collection mechanism and the heat transfer mechanism, enabling the dual recovery of the heat generated by the fuel cell engine. And by heating the two heat conduction components, the bottom surfaces of the two thermoelectric generators can be made very hot. At the same time, through the two heat dissipation components, the top surfaces of the two thermoelectric generators can be dissipated, resulting in a temperature difference between the upper and lower surfaces of the two thermoelectric generators, which facilitates the thermoelectric generation of the thermoelectric generators. Through the first aluminum plate in the heat conduction component, the flow pipe can be installed and the heat in the flow pipe can be conducted. The flow pipe can be used to flow hot air or hot circulating water.

[0035] (4) In this solution, through the second aluminum plate in the heat dissipation component, it can be installed on the top surface of the thermoelectric generator and can also install multiple heat dissipation rods. Through the multiple heat dissipation rods, the heat conducted on the second aluminum plate can be dissipated, thereby enabling the second aluminum plate to be quickly cooled. Furthermore, the temperature of the second aluminum plate and the first aluminum plate can be made different, forming a certain temperature difference. Through the cage and multiple columns, a stable foundation can be provided for the multiple heat dissipation rods, thereby improving the stability of the use of the multiple heat dissipation rods. Through the exhaust pipe in the gas pumping mechanism, it can be connected to the flow pipe for circulating gas, so that the hot gas in the flow pipe can be pumped out by the air pump.

[0036] (5) In this solution, through the metal ring in the heat transfer mechanism, it can be installed on the outer wall surface of the fuel cell engine and can also install multiple metal boxes. At the same time, the metal ring can transfer the heat conducted by the fuel cell engine to the metal boxes, thereby heating the metal boxes. Then, through the liquid inlet pipe, a liquid reflux mechanism can be externally connected, so that the circulating liquid can flow through the metal boxes. Then, the circulating liquid can flow through the liquid outlet pipe into the flow pipe for circulating liquid, thereby heating the corresponding first aluminum plate.

[0037] (6) In this solution, through the liquid extraction pipe in the liquid reflux mechanism, it can be conductively connected to the output end of the flow pipe opposite to the liquid outlet pipe. Through the liquid infusion pump, the circulating liquid in the metal box can be pumped into the flow pipe for circulating liquid, thereby heating the flow pipe. Then, the liquid is pumped into the fin radiator. Through the fin radiator, the circulating liquid can be cooled and the cooled circulating liquid can be transported through the return pipe to the liquid inlet pipe, thereby forming a cycle to facilitate the circulating flow of the circulating liquid.

Through the cage 343 and a plurality of columns 344, a stable foundation can be provided for the plurality of heat dissipation rods 342, and thus the stability of the use of the plurality of heat dissipation rods 342 can be improved; Through the exhaust pipe 41 in the gas pumping mechanism 4, it can be connected to the flow pipe 332 for circulating gas, so that the hot gas in the flow pipe 332 can be pumped out by the air pump 42;

[0071] Through the metal ring 51 in the heat transfer mechanism 5, it can be installed on the outer wall surface of the fuel cell engine 1 and can also install a plurality of metal boxes 52. At the same time, the metal ring 51 can transfer the heat conducted by the fuel cell engine 1 to the metal boxes 52, so as to heat the metal boxes 52. Then, through the liquid inlet pipe 53, a liquid reflux mechanism 6 can be externally connected, so that the circulating liquid can flow through the metal boxes 52, and then the circulating liquid can flow through the liquid outlet pipe 54 into the flow pipe 332 for circulating liquid, so as to heat the corresponding first aluminum plate 331;

[0072] Through the liquid extraction pipe 61 in the liquid reflux mechanism 6, it can be conductively connected to the output end of the flow pipe 332 opposite to the liquid outlet pipe 54. Through the liquid infusion pump 62, the circulating liquid in the metal box 52 can be pumped into the flow pipe 332 for circulating liquid, so as to heat the flow pipe 332. Then, the liquid is pumped into the fin radiator 63. Through the fin radiator 63, the circulating liquid can be cooled and the cooled circulating liquid can be transported through the reflux pipe 64 to the liquid inlet pipe 53, so as to form a cycle, facilitating the circulation of the circulating liquid.
