The fuel inlet 31 and the air inlet 21 can be connected to the heat exchanger 60, so that the air and fuel can be heated under the heat exchange of the heat exchanger 60 before being supplied to the fuel cell stack 70. Through the setting of the air distribution plate 10, the pipeline structure connected to the fuel cell stack 70 and the heat exchanger 60 can be integrated into the air distribution plate 10, thereby effectively simplifying the structure of the fuel cell power generation system and reducing the volume of the fuel cell power generation system.
[0036] like Figure 1 and 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the gas distribution plate 10 includes a battery fixing area 11, and a heat exchange reforming area 12 located on one side of the battery fixing area 11, the battery fixing area 11 is used to fix the fuel cell, the fuel outlet 32 and the air outlet 22 are both located in the battery fixing area 11, the heat exchange reforming area 12 is used to fix the burner 80, and the fuel inlet 31 and the air inlet 21 are both located in the heat exchange reforming area 12. Specifically, by setting the gas distribution plate 10 as the battery fixing area 11 and the heat exchange reforming area 12, the fuel cell stack 70 and the reforming unit can be installed in different areas, so that the two areas perform different functions respectively, ensuring the stable operation of the fuel cell power generation system while making the structure of the fuel cell system more compact.
[0037] like Figure 1~2As shown, in one embodiment, the gas distribution plate 10 is further provided with a gas outlet flow channel 40, a gas inlet 41 and a gas outlet 42. The gas inlet 41 and the gas outlet 42 are respectively located in the battery fixing area 11 and the heat exchange reforming area 12 and are both connected to the gas outlet flow channel 40. The gas inlet 41 is connected to the exhaust port of the fuel cell stack 70, and is used to receive the excess fuel discharged by the fuel cell stack 70. The gas outlet 42 is connected to the burner 80. Specifically, the gas that does not participate in the work of the fuel cell stack 70 will be discharged from the exhaust port of the fuel cell stack 70, and enter the gas outlet flow channel 40 through the gas inlet 41, flow along the gas outlet flow channel 40 to the gas outlet 42, and then enter the burner 80 through the gas outlet 42 for combustion by the burner 80. Through the provision of the gas outlet flow channel 40, the exhaust pipes connected to the fuel cell stack 70 and the burner 80 can be concentrated in the gas distribution plate 10 in the form of a flow channel, thereby simplifying the structure of the fuel cell power generation system.
[0038] like Figure 1~2 As shown, in one of the embodiments, the gas distribution plate 10 is also provided with an exhaust gas outlet flow duct 50, an exhaust gas inlet 51 and an exhaust gas outlet 52, the gas inlet 41 and the gas outlet 42 are respectively located in the battery fixing area 11 and the heat exchange reforming area 12 and are both connected to the gas outlet flow duct 40, the exhaust gas inlet 51 is supplied to the exhaust port connected to the fuel cell stack 70, and is used to receive excess air discharged by the fuel cell stack 70, and the gas outlet 42 is supplied to connect the burner 80. Specifically, the air that does not participate in the work of the fuel cell stack 70 will be discharged through the exhaust port of the fuel cell stack 70, and enter the exhaust gas outlet flow duct 50 through the exhaust gas inlet 51, flow along the exhaust gas outlet flow duct 50 to the exhaust gas outlet 52, and then enter the burner 80 through the exhaust gas outlet duct 52 to be used for combustion by the burner 80. Through the setting of the exhaust gas outlet flow duct 50, the pipes connecting the fuel cell stack 70 and the burner 80 can be concentrated on the gas distribution plate 10 in the form of flow channels, thereby simplifying the structure of the fuel cell power generation system.
[0039] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, in one embodiment, the gas distribution plate 10 includes an insulating top plate 13 and a heat conducting plate 14, the insulating top plate 13 is provided with an installation cavity, the heat conducting plate 14 is installed in the installation cavity and fits with the side wall of the installation cavity, the air inlet flow channel 20, the fuel inlet flow channel 30, the gas outlet flow channel 40 and the exhaust gas outlet flow channel 50 are all arranged on the heat conducting plate 14, and the fuel inlet port 31, the fuel outlet port 32, the air inlet port 21, the air outlet port 22, the gas inlet port 41, the gas outlet port 42, the exhaust gas inlet port 51 and the exhaust gas outlet port 52 are all arranged on the insulating top plate 13. Specifically, by setting the air distribution plate 10 as an insulating top plate 13 and a heat conducting plate 14, and the air inlet flow channel 20, the fuel inlet flow channel 30, the gas outlet flow channel 40 and the exhaust gas outlet flow channel 50 are all set on the heat conducting plate 14, the exhaust gas heat discharged by the fuel cell stack 70 in the gas outlet flow channel 40 and the exhaust gas outlet flow channel 50 can be guided to the fuel and air introduced into the air inlet flow channel 20 and the fuel inlet flow channel 30 through the heat conducting plate 14, thereby increasing the temperature of the fuel and air introduced into the fuel cell stack 70, providing convenience for the operation of the fuel cell stack 70. At the same time, the insulating top plate 13 can prevent the heat of the fuel and air from diffusing to the working units such as the fuel cell stack 70, thereby preventing heat loss and ensuring the stable operation of the working units such as the fuel cell stack 70.
[0040] like Figure 1 and 3 As shown, in one of the embodiments, the gas distribution plate 10 also includes an insulating bottom plate 15, which is fixed to the bottom wall of the insulating top plate 13 and adheres to the side of the heat conducting plate 14 away from the insulating top plate 13. The insulating bottom plate 15 can seal the air inlet flow channel 20, the fuel inlet flow channel 30, the gas outlet flow channel 40 and the exhaust gas outlet flow channel 50, and prevent the heat of the heat conducting plate 14 from being lost to the outside.
[0041] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the cross section of the air inlet flow channel 20 gradually increases toward the air outlet 22. Specifically, through this arrangement, the air can be gradually diffused during the flow toward the air outlet 22, so that the air can be evenly distributed to each fuel cell of the fuel cell stack 70.
[0042] like Figure 2As shown, in one embodiment, the width of the exhaust gas outlet flow channel 50 gradually increases toward the exhaust gas outlet port 52, and the depth of the exhaust gas outlet flow channel 50 gradually decreases toward the exhaust gas outlet port 52. Specifically, since the width of the exhaust gas outlet flow channel 50 gradually increases toward the exhaust gas outlet port 52, the exhaust gas can be gradually diffused toward the exhaust gas outlet port 52 during the flow process, so that the exhaust gas can flow evenly to the burner 80, and the depth of the exhaust gas outlet flow channel 50 gradually decreases toward the exhaust gas outlet port 52, which can effectively control the cross-sectional area of the exhaust gas outlet flow channel 50, and further can better control the flow rate of the exhaust gas, so that the exhaust gas flows to the burner 80 at a uniform flow rate, and the stability of the operation of the burner 80 is ensured.
[0043] like Figure 3 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a fuel cell power generation system, including a heat exchanger 60, a fuel cell stack 70 and a gas distribution plate 10, the fuel outlet and the air outlet of the heat exchanger 60 are respectively connected to the fuel inlet 31 and the air inlet 21, and the fuel supply inlet 91 and the air supply inlet of the fuel cell stack 70 are respectively connected to the fuel inlet 31 and the air outlet 22.
[0044] Specifically, the fuel cell power generation system is provided with a heat exchanger 60, a fuel cell stack 70 and a gas distribution plate 10. During the operation of the fuel cell power generation system, the fuel and air required for the operation of the fuel cell stack 70 enter the heat exchanger 60, and after heat exchange and temperature increase in the heat exchanger 60, enter the air intake flow channel 20 and the fuel intake flow channel 30 from the fuel outlet and the air outlet respectively, and then flow along the air intake flow channel 20 and the fuel intake flow channel 30, and enter each fuel cell of the fuel cell stack 70 through the fuel supply inlet 91 and the air supply inlet of the fuel cell stack 70, so as to be used by the fuel cell. By providing the gas distribution plate 10, the fuel cell power generation system can integrate the pipeline structure connected with the fuel cell stack 70 and the heat exchanger 60 into the gas distribution plate 10, thereby effectively simplifying the structure of the fuel cell power generation system and reducing the volume of the fuel cell power generation system.
[0045] In this embodiment, the fuel outlet and the air outlet of the heat exchanger 60 are communicated with the fuel inlet 31 and the air inlet 21 through the fuel inlet pipe 61 and the air inlet pipe 62 respectively.
[0046] like Figure 3As shown, in one embodiment, the fuel cell power generation system further includes a burner 80, which is fixed to the heat exchange reforming zone 12 and communicated with the gas outlet 42 and the tail gas outlet 52, and is used to burn the gas supplied from the gas outlet 42, and the heat exchanger 60 is fixed to the burner 80. Specifically, the fuel and air that do not participate in the reaction of the fuel cell stack 70 will enter the burner 80 through the gas outlet flow channel 40 and the tail gas outlet flow channel 50 respectively, so as to be burned by the burner 80. By connecting the burner 80 with the gas outlet 42 and the tail gas outlet 52, the fuel and air that do not participate in the reaction of the fuel cell stack 70 can be reused, and the required heat can be provided for the heat exchange of the heat exchanger 60, thereby realizing full utilization of the preheating of the fuel cell stack 70 with a relatively simple structure.
[0047] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the fuel cell power generation system further includes a reformer 90, the reformer 90 is fixed to the heat exchanger 60, the heat exchanger 60 is provided with a water supply port 63, the water supply port 63 is used to supply water to the heat exchanger 60, the heat exchanger 60 is used to heat the water body through the flue gas supplied by the burner 80 to form steam, and the heat exchanger 60 is used to reform the fuel through steam. Specifically, the water body enters the heat exchanger 60 through the water supply port 63, and forms high-temperature steam under the heat supply of the heat exchanger 60. The high-temperature steam enters the reformer 90 and mixes with the fuel introduced into the reformer 90, thereby reforming the fuel to form the fuel gas required for the operation of the fuel cell stack 70.
[0048] In this embodiment, the reformer 90 is provided with a fuel supply inlet 91 , and the fuel required for reforming can be introduced into the reformer 90 through the fuel supply inlet 91 .
[0049] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the reformer 90 is attached to the side wall of the heat exchanger 60, so as to provide the required heat for the reforming of the reformer 90 through the heat transfer of the side wall of the heat exchanger 60, while maintaining the uniformity of the heat inside the reformer 90 to improve the reforming quality of the fuel. The tail gas outlet of the reformer 90 is connected to the inside of the heat exchanger 60. The fuel gas formed after the reforming of the reformer 90 can enter the heat exchanger 60 for heat exchange and temperature rise, and then enter the fuel intake flow channel 30.
[0050] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the heat exchanger 60 is further provided with an air inlet 64 , which is connected to the air inlet 21 for supplying air to the heat exchanger 60 . The heat exchanger 60 is also used to heat the air through the flue gas supplied by the burner 80 .
[0051] like Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, the heat exchanger 60 is also provided with a smoke outlet 65. The high-temperature smoke generated by the burner 80 enters the heat exchanger 60, exchanges heat with the water, fuel and air in the heat exchanger 60, and is discharged from the smoke outlet 65.
[0052] The working principle of the fuel cell power generation system provided by the embodiment of the present invention is as follows: when the fuel cell power generation system is working, the fuel is introduced into the reformer 90 through the fuel supply inlet 91, and the water enters the heat exchanger 60 through the water supply inlet 63. High-temperature steam is formed under the heat supply of the heat exchanger 60. The high-temperature steam enters the reformer 90, mixes with the fuel in the reformer 90, and is reformed through the catalyst bed of the reformer 90 to form the fuel gas required for the operation of the fuel cell stack 70. After the fuel gas enters the heat exchanger 60 through the fuel gas, it is heated and heated, and then enters the fuel intake flow channel 30 through the fuel intake pipe 61. The air enters the heat exchanger 60 through the air inlet 64. After the air exchange is heated and heated by the heat exchanger 60, it enters the air intake flow channel 20 from the air intake pipe 62. The air and the gas flow along the air intake flow channel 20 and the fuel intake flow channel 30, and enter each fuel cell of the fuel cell stack 70 through the fuel supply inlet 91 and the air supply inlet of the fuel cell stack 70, so that the fuel cell stack 70 generates electricity.
[0053] The fuel gas and exhaust gas that are not involved in the operation of the fuel cell stack 70 enter the burner 80 through the fuel gas outlet flow channel 40 and the exhaust gas outlet flow channel 50 respectively for combustion by the burner 80. The high-temperature flue gas generated by the combustion of the burner 80 enters the heat exchanger 60. The heat of the high-temperature flue gas is exchanged with the water, fuel and air in the heat exchanger 60 and then discharged from the flue gas outlet 65, thereby realizing the utilization of the heat of the high-temperature flue gas.
[0054] By arranging the heat exchanger 60, fuel cell stack 70, gas distribution plate 10, burner 80 and reformer 90 of the fuel cell power generation system, it is possible to achieve full utilization of the system heat with a simplified structure while achieving normal power generation, thereby reducing the volume of the fuel cell power generation system and reducing the assembly cost of the fuel cell power generation system.

Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention should be covered within the protection scope of the present invention.
