As shown in the figure, the stack pressing device comprises: an electric push positioning assembly 1, a top pressing assembly 2 and a pressing positioning assembly 3; wherein,

[0026] The electric push positioning assembly 1 is used to support and limit the bottom of the fuel cell stack 4. Specifically, the electric push positioning assembly 1 can be arranged on a working surface to support the bottom of the fuel cell stack 4 and limit the circumferential position to avoid displacement of the fuel cell stack 4.

[0027] The top pressing assembly 2 is arranged directly above the electric push positioning assembly 1, and is used to perform top pressing on the fuel cell stack 4 on the electric push positioning assembly 1, and to perform top pressing on the steel belt 5 pressed against the top wall of the fuel cell stack 4, so as to facilitate bundling of the steel belt 5.

[0028] Specifically, the top pressing assembly 2 is arranged directly above the electric push positioning assembly 1, and the top pressing assembly 2 is used to press the fuel cell stack 4, so that the fuel cell stack 4 is positioned both up and down and in the circumferential direction, and the fuel cell stack 4 is completely positioned. The top pressing assembly 2 can also press the steel belt 5 extending along the top wall of the fuel cell stack 4 on the top of the fuel cell stack 4, so that the steel belt 5 extending along the top wall of the fuel cell stack 4 is clamped between the fuel cell stack 4 and the top pressing assembly 2, so that the steel belt 5 extending horizontally along the top wall of the fuel cell stack 4 is bent, especially bent downward to extend along the side wall of the fuel cell stack 4.

[0029] A pressing and positioning assembly 3 is also provided between the top pressing assembly 2 and the electric push positioning assembly 1, which is used to limit the relative position between the top pressing assembly 2 and the electric push positioning assembly 1 when the top pressing assembly 2 performs top pressing on the fuel cell stack 4, so as to achieve precise positioning of the top pressing assembly 2. Specifically, the pressing and positioning assembly 3 can be provided between the top pressing assembly 2 and the electric push positioning assembly 1, and when the top pressing assembly 2 performs top pressing on the fuel cell stack 4, the relative position between the top pressing assembly 2 and the electric push positioning assembly 1 is limited, that is, by limiting the relative position between the top pressing assembly 2 and the electric push positioning assembly 1, when the top pressing assembly 2 is pressed on the fuel cell stack 4, the position of the top pressing assembly 2 and the fuel cell stack 4 is completely fitted, thereby achieving precise positioning of the top pressing assembly 2.

[0030] In one implementation of this embodiment, the electric push positioning assembly 1 is a fixed structure, which can be fixedly installed directly below the top pressing assembly 2 to provide bottom support and circumferential limitation for the fuel cell stack 4 .

[0031] In another implementation of this embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the electric push positioning assembly 1 can be a mobile structure, which can drive the fuel cell stack 4 to move horizontally (such as Figure 2 The mobile electric push positioning assembly 1 is arranged on the working surface, and can provide bottom support and circumferential limit to the fuel cell stack 4 to avoid displacement of the fuel cell stack 4. At the same time, it can also be a mobile assembly that can drive the top-supported fuel cell stack 4 to move laterally, so that the fuel cell stack 4 can move to the left with the mobile electric push positioning assembly 1 to the loading and unloading position (such as the horizontal direction shown). Figure 2 left position as shown), and can also be moved to the right to the bundling position (as shown Figure 2The right side position shown in the figure), in the embodiment, the mobile electric push positioning assembly 1 and the fuel cell stack 4 are two respectively placed in the loading and unloading position and the bundling position. In actual application, there is only one. The two in the figure only show two positions respectively, not two positions with fuel cell stacks 4 at the same time. The electric push positioning assembly 1 moves to the loading and unloading position, and the fuel cell stack 4 to be bundled can be installed on the electric push positioning assembly 1 by hoisting, and the fuel cell stack 4 to be bundled is driven by the electric push positioning assembly 1 to move to the bundling position, so that the top pressing assembly 2 is used at the bundling position for top pressing, and the relevant equipment is used for bending, and the steel strip is welded by the steel strip welding mechanism to complete the bundling of the steel strip; finally, after the top pressing assembly 2 releases the top pressing, the mobile electric push positioning assembly 1 drives the fuel cell stack 4 to return to the position, that is, moves to the left to the loading and unloading position, and the bundled fuel cell stack 4 is unloaded to carry out the subsequent bundling of the fuel cell stack 4.

[0032] Continue to see Figure 3 , the electric push positioning assembly 1 includes: an electric push carrier 11, a circumferential limiter 12 and a carrier support seat 13; wherein, the electric push carrier 11 is provided with a circumferential limiter 12, and the electric push carrier 11 is used to support the bottom of the fuel cell stack 4, and the fuel cell stack 4 is circumferentially limited by the circumferential limiter 12. Specifically, a carrier support seat 13 is provided at the bottom of the electric push carrier 11 to support the electric push carrier 11 through the carrier support seat 13. In one implementation of the present embodiment, the carrier support seat 13 can be fixed on a working surface or the ground to fix and support the electric push carrier 11 above, and support the fuel cell stack 4 through the electric push carrier 11, that is, the fuel cell stack 4 can be placed vertically on the electric push carrier 11. There may be multiple circumferential limiters 12, which are fixedly mounted on the top wall of the electric push carrier 11. There are at least four circumferential limiters 12, which can limit the four side walls of the fuel cell stack 4 respectively. In this embodiment, there are six circumferential limiters 12, and the side walls on both sides of the width direction of the fuel cell stack 4 are limited by two circumferential limiters 12, and the side walls on both sides of the thickness direction are limited by one circumferential limiter 12, so as to limit the circumference of the fuel cell stack 4, so that the fuel cell stack 4 is completely fixed between the six circumferential limiters 12. In this embodiment, a hoisting member 14 may be provided on the electric push carrier 11, which is used to hoist the electric push carrier 11 so as to hoist the fuel cell stack 4.

[0033] exist Figure 2In another embodiment shown, the carrier support seat 13 is a sliding support seat, which can slide and support the electric push carrier 11, that is, the electric push carrier 11 is arranged on the carrier support seat 13 in a sliding manner in the transverse direction to drive the fuel cell stack 4 to move transversely. In order to realize the transverse movement of the electric push carrier 11, preferably, the electric push carrier 11 can be connected to a transverse conveying member (not shown in the figure), so that the electric push carrier 11 can move transversely under the action of the transverse conveying member, thereby driving the fuel cell stack 4 to move transversely, so that the fuel cell stack 4 can move transversely to the bundling position for bundling with the steel belt 5, and can also move to the loading and unloading position on one side of the bundling position to install and unload the fuel cell stack 4. Specifically, the transverse conveying member serves as a transverse movement driving member, which can drive the electric push carrier 11 to slide in the transverse direction. Among them, the transverse conveying member can be a linear screw slide group, which can convert the rotation of the motor into the transverse reciprocating motion of the electric push carrier 11 to realize the transverse movement of the electric push carrier 11. In this embodiment, the electric push carrier 11 can be placed on a slide plate of a linear screw slide group and can move laterally with the slide plate.

[0034] Continue to see Figure 1 Figure 6 The top pressing assembly 2 includes: a pressing support seat 21, a stack pressing piece 22 and a steel belt pressing piece 23; wherein the stack pressing piece 22 is arranged on the pressing support seat 21 in a position-adjustable manner along the height direction, and is used to perform top pressing on the fuel cell stack 4 on the electric push carrier 11; the steel belt pressing piece 23 is arranged on the stack pressing piece 22, and is used to perform top pressing on the steel belt that is pressed against the top wall of the fuel cell stack 4.

[0035] Specifically, the pressing support seat 21 is a support seat structure, which can provide sliding support for the battery stack pressing part 22; wherein, the bottom of the pressing support seat 21 has two bottom fixing seats 211, which are respectively placed on both sides of the Y-axis direction of the carrier support seat 13, wherein the pressing support seat 21 and the carrier support seat 13 can be fixedly connected by welding or other means, and can also be an integrated structure; each bottom fixing seat 211 is provided with two guide rods 212, that is, there are four guide rods 212 in total, which respectively guide and support the four corners of the battery stack pressing part 22; the tops of the four guide rods 212 are also fixedly connected to the top support seat 213, and the top support seat 213 can be provided with a lifting ear 214, so that the device can be hoisted as a whole. The stack press 22 is arranged on the press support seat 21 in a position-adjustable manner along the height direction, i.e., the Z-axis direction. In particular, sliding sleeves may be provided at the four corners of the stack press 22, and the sliding sleeves may be slidably mounted on the guide rod 212 to slide up and down along the guide rod 212 to achieve position adjustment, so that after the fuel cell stack 4 is installed and moved into place, i.e., moved to the bundling position, the stack press 22 may slide downward until the bottom wall of the stack press 22 is pressed against the top wall of the fuel cell stack 4 to achieve top pressing of the fuel cell stack 4; the stack press 22 may also slide upward after the fuel cell stack 4 is bundled to make way for the unloading of the fuel cell stack 4. The steel belt press 23 is arranged on the stack press 22, and can slide up and down with the stack press 22. After the stack press 22 slides downward and the bottom wall is pressed and contacted on the top wall of the fuel cell stack 4, the steel belt 5 can be bent on the fuel cell stack 4, so that the steel belt 5 can extend horizontally along the top wall of the fuel cell stack 4. The steel belt press 23 can apply a pressing force to the steel belt 5, so that the steel belt is pressed between the top wall of the fuel cell stack 4 and the steel belt press 23, thereby realizing top pressing of the steel belt pressed and contacted on the top wall of the fuel cell stack 4, and avoiding displacement and warping of the steel belt during the bending process.

[0036] Continue to see Figure 6A U-shaped groove structure 221 is provided at the bottom of the stack press 22, and the solid part of the stack press 22 is used to be pressed on the top wall of the fuel cell stack 4. The U-shaped groove structure 221 is used to make way for the steel belt so that the steel belt can extend horizontally along the top wall of the fuel cell stack 4 in the U-shaped groove structure 221; the steel belt press 23 is arranged in the U-shaped groove structure 221 to apply a pressing force to the steel belt after the steel belt extends horizontally along the top wall of the fuel cell stack 4, so that the steel belt is pressed between the top wall of the fuel cell stack 4 and the steel belt press 23. Specifically, the cross section of the stack press 22 can be a square structure that matches the cross section of the fuel cell stack 4, and a U-shaped groove structure 221 is provided at the bottom of the stack press 22 as a clearance groove, so that after the steel belt is bent from one side, the steel belt can extend horizontally to the other side along the top wall of the fuel cell stack 4. Therefore, the stack press 22 can not only press the top of the fuel cell stack 4, but also make way for the steel belt to achieve the upper bending and horizontal extension of the steel belt. The steel belt press 23 is arranged in the U-shaped groove structure 221 to apply a pressing force to the steel belt after the steel belt extends horizontally along the top wall of the fuel cell stack 4, so that the steel belt is pressed between the top wall of the fuel cell stack 4 and the steel belt press 23. Among them, the position and number of the U-shaped groove structure 221 are adapted to the position and number of the steel belts required to be tied on the fuel cell stack 4. In this embodiment, there are four U-shaped groove structures 221.

[0037] Continue to see Figure 6 The steel belt pressing member 23 may include: a vertical telescopic driving member 231 and a steel belt pressing body 232; wherein, the steel belt pressing body 232 is arranged at the telescopic end of the vertical telescopic driving member 231, and is used for moving vertically downward under the action of the vertical telescopic driving member 231 after the steel belt is bent again and horizontally extended along the top wall of the fuel cell stack 4, until it is pressed and contacted on the top wall of the steel belt, so that the steel belt is pressed and fixed on the top wall of the fuel cell stack 4.

[0038] Specifically, the fixed end of the vertical telescopic driving member 231 (such as Figure 6 The top of the stack press member 22 can be fixedly mounted on the stack press member 22. The vertical telescopic drive member 231 is vertically arranged in the U-shaped groove structure 221 of the stack press member 22 and can perform vertical telescopic movement. The steel belt pressing body 232 is arranged in the U-shaped groove structure 221 in a manner that it can move up and down. The steel belt pressing body 232 is arranged at the telescopic end of the vertical telescopic drive member 231 (as shown in FIG. Figure 6The bottom end shown in the figure) is used for the steel belt to move vertically downward under the action of the vertical telescopic driving member 231 after the steel belt extends horizontally along the top wall of the fuel cell stack 4, until it presses against the top wall of the steel belt, so that the steel belt is pressed against the top wall of the fuel cell stack 4, that is, the steel belt is clamped between the steel belt pressing body 232 and the top wall of the fuel cell stack 4. Among them, the steel belt pressing body 232 can be a plate-like structure or other structures, and this embodiment does not impose any limitation on it.

[0039] In the present embodiment, the pressing and positioning assembly 3 is arranged between the battery stack pressing part 22 and the circumferential limiter 12, and the pressing and positioning assembly 3 includes vertical positioning columns 31 corresponding to the circumferential limiter 12 one by one; wherein, the vertical positioning columns 31 are arranged around the battery stack pressing part 22 along the circumference of the battery stack pressing part 22, and the top of the circumferential limiter 12 is provided with a positioning groove, which is adapted to the vertical positioning columns 31 and is used to position the battery stack pressing part 22. Specifically, there can be six vertical positioning columns 31 and they are arranged around the battery stack pressing part 22 one by one corresponding to the circumferential limiter 12, and when the battery stack pressing part 22 slides into place, the vertical positioning columns 31 can be respectively inserted into the positioning grooves of the corresponding circumferential limiter 12 to accurately position the battery stack pressing part 22.

[0040] In summary, the stack pressing device suitable for the fuel cell stack provided in the present embodiment can prevent the fuel cell stack 4 from tipping over or unstable support by performing bottom support and circumferential limitation on the fuel cell stack 4 through the electric push positioning assembly 1; the top pressing of the fuel cell stack 4 on the electric push positioning assembly 1 can further limit the stability of the fuel cell stack 4 without manual assistance for straightening, thereby preventing the fuel cell stack 4 from tilting, resulting in poor consistency and unguaranteed quality of the products bundled with steel strips, and solving the problem that manual assistance is needed for straightening of the existing steel strips during bundling of the stack, resulting in low production efficiency and poor product consistency due to manual operation.
