[0002] Hydrogen fuel cell is an important part of the current new energy development field, with the continuous expansion of the national hydrogen energy demonstration city group, more and more hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are put into the market, because hydrogen fuel stack adopts the way of electrochemical reaction to convert hydrogen into electric energy, water will be produced in the working process of the stack, in the normal working process, these water will be discharged with the remaining air. But before the stack is powered off, the water generated in the reaction inside the stack must be completely purged to avoid ice blockage due to low temperature. The freeze-thaw process also accelerates the physical damage of proton membrane. At the same time, the hydrogen fuel cell BOP system needs to work for a certain time before the stack is powered off, so as to completely react the residual hydrogen and air in the stack air duct, avoiding local hydrogen and oxygen interpenetration and burning the catalyst layer on the surface of the catalyst.
[0003] Due to the above reasons, for the vehicle equipped with hydrogen fuel stack, the driver needs to purge and discharge the stack before the vehicle is powered off, and the process time is determined by the size of the stack power, which is about 5 minutes. Therefore, the driver needs to continue working for a period of time before stopping driving, and the system can be completely powered off after the purging and discharging process is completed, which brings great inconvenience to the driver. The controller needs to provide self-control delay power-off to avoid the driver from being unable to immediately power off due to the characteristics of the fuel cell. At present, the delay power-off of the fuel cell usually adopts the following ways: using independent power distribution module, which has the disadvantages of high cost and difficult adjustment of vehicle wire harness. Using the standby power mode of the controller part circuit, which has the disadvantages of large static power consumption and certain safety hazards of incomplete power-off. Using special power management chip, which has the advantages of good control, but the cost is high, and most of the power management chips are imported products, which has certain uncertainty in supply.
