[0051] In order to more clearly illustrate the embodiments of the present application or the technical solutions in the prior art, the drawings required for use in the embodiments or the description of the prior art will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, for ordinary technicians in this field, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without paying any creative labor.

[0053] Figure 2 It is a structural schematic diagram of a fuel cell stack assembly device in an embodiment of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0054] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application, the scheme of the present application will be further described below. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0055] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present application, but the present application may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments in the specification are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0056] As a zero-emission energy conversion technology, hydrogen fuel cells can reduce dependence on fossil fuels and help slow global warming. In recent years, hydrogen fuel cell technology has made continuous breakthroughs, and these technological advances have made the application of hydrogen fuel cells in automobiles, stationary power generation, portable power sources and other fields more feasible.

[0057] As the core component of hydrogen fuel cells, the fuel cell stack is the place where hydrogen fuel cells generate electricity and plays a vital role in hydrogen fuel cells. During the production and manufacturing process of the fuel cell stack, its assembly process directly determines the performance of the fuel cell stack and its production qualification rate. Therefore, there are strict requirements for the production and assembly process of the fuel cell stack. Through advanced and efficient fuel cell stack assembly process and technology, the efficiency and qualification rate of fuel cell stack assembly can be effectively improved.

[0058] In the existing battery stack assembly process, it is still difficult to ensure the qualified rate of battery stack assembly, especially the control of the compression rate of the membrane electrode in the battery stack, which will directly affect the production efficiency of the battery stack. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the assembly process of the battery stack.

[0059] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flow chart of a fuel cell stack assembly method in an embodiment of the present application, which may include the following steps:

[0060] Step S102, according to the structure of the battery stack, stack the battery stack components end plates, current collecting plates, bipolar plates, and membrane electrodes in a stacking mechanism of a press, and apply pressure to the upper end plate of the battery stack through the press.

[0061] Step S104, setting the press speed of the press according to the applied pressure value, wherein the press speed and the applied pressure value are inversely correlated.

[0062] In the embodiment of the present application, the pressure applied by the press to the upper end plate of the battery stack is continuously increased, and the pressing speed is gradually decreased as the pressure value increases. In this way, damage to the plates and membrane electrodes during the assembly process of the battery stack can be effectively avoided, thereby improving the accuracy of the battery stack assembly.

[0063] Optionally, when the applied pressure value is less than or equal to the first pressure value, the press speed of the press is set to V1; when the applied pressure value is greater than the first pressure value and less than or equal to the second pressure value, the press speed of the press is set to V2; when the applied pressure value is greater than the second pressure value and less than or equal to the third pressure value, the press speed of the press is set to V3; when the applied pressure value is greater than the third pressure value and less than or equal to the first target pressure value, the press speed of the press is set to V4; wherein V4 is the first speed, V1> V2> V3> V4. For example, the first pressure value is 5000N, the second pressure value is 10000N, and the third pressure value is 20000N; V1 is 4mm / min, V2 is 3mm / min, V3 is 2mm / min, and V4 is 1mm / min.

[0064] Step S106, determining whether the applied pressure value reaches a first target pressure value.

[0065] When the applied pressure value reaches the first target pressure value, the press speed of the press is the first speed, and step S108 is executed. When the applied pressure value does not reach the first target pressure value, the pressure continues to be applied.

[0066] Step S108, using a core height measurement sensor to measure the core height, and calculating the compression rate of the membrane electrode according to the core height.

[0067] When the pressure value reaches the first target pressure value, it indicates that the pressure value is relatively high. At this time, the compression state of the membrane electrode is monitored by measuring the height of the core and calculating the compression rate of the membrane electrode to determine the rationality of the compression state.

[0068] Optionally, assuming that the height of the core is L1 and the theoretical height of the core in an unpressurized state is L2, the compression rate a of the membrane electrode can be calculated according to the formula: a=(L2-L1) / L2.

[0069] Step S110, determining whether the compression rate of the membrane electrode is less than the first compression rate.

[0070] If the compression rate of the membrane electrode is less than the first compression rate, it means that the compression rate is still small, and step S112 is executed; if the compression rate of the membrane electrode is greater than or equal to the first compression rate, step S114 is executed. Optionally, the first compression rate is 15%.

[0071] Step S112, increasing the applied pressure value to a second target pressure value at a second speed, and returning to step S108; wherein the second speed is lower than the first speed.

[0072] In this step, the applied pressure value continues to increase, and when the second target pressure value is reached, the process returns to step S108 to recalculate the compression rate of the membrane electrode.

[0073] Step S114, determining whether the compression rate of the membrane electrode is less than the second compression rate.

[0074] If the compression rate of the membrane electrode is less than the second compression rate, step S116 is performed, and if the compression rate of the membrane electrode is greater than or equal to the second compression rate, step S124 is performed. Optionally, the second compression rate is 20%.

[0075] Step S116, using a resistance measuring device to measure the resistance value of the fuel cell stack.

[0076] By monitoring the resistance value of the battery stack during the battery stack assembly process, it can be determined whether the battery stack assembly is qualified.

[0077] Step S118, determining whether the resistance value is less than the first resistance value.

[0078] If the resistance value is greater than or equal to the first resistance value, it means that the resistance value of the battery stack is large and the battery stack assembly is unqualified, and step S120 is executed; if the resistance value is less than the first resistance value, it means that the resistance value of the battery stack meets the requirement and the battery stack assembly is qualified, and step S122 is executed.

[0079] Step S120, increasing the applied pressure value to a third target pressure value at a third speed, and returning to step S108; wherein the third speed is lower than the first speed.

[0080] Similarly, the applied pressure value continues to increase, and when the third target pressure value is reached, the process returns to step S108 to recalculate the compression rate of the membrane electrode.

[0081] Step S122, determining that the battery stack assembly is complete.

[0082] Step S124, using a resistance measuring device to measure the resistance value of the fuel cell stack.

[0083] When the compression rate of the membrane electrode is large, whether the stack assembly is qualified can be judged by monitoring the resistance value of the stack during the stack assembly process.

[0084] Step S126, determining whether the resistance value is greater than or equal to the second resistance value and less than the first resistance value.

[0085] If the resistance value is greater than or equal to the second resistance value and less than the first resistance value, step S122 is executed; if the resistance value is less than the second resistance value or greater than or equal to the first resistance value, step S128 is executed.

[0086] Since a large compression rate will affect the transmission of gas in the membrane electrode, in addition to the failure of the stack assembly when the resistance value is large, the stack assembly is also unqualified when the resistance value is small.

[0087] Step S128, determining that the stacking is unqualified.

[0088] The fuel cell stack assembly method of the embodiment of the present application sets different press speeds during the stack assembly process according to the pressure value applied by the press. As the pressure value increases, the press speed gradually decreases, thereby effectively avoiding the damage of the plates and membrane electrodes caused by the stack during the assembly process, and improving the accuracy of the stack assembly. A resistance measuring device and a core height measuring sensor are added to the stack assembly press equipment. The core height is measured by the core height measuring sensor, and then the compression rate of the membrane electrode is calculated. Therefore, the compression state of the membrane electrode during the stack assembly process can be monitored in real time, and the rationality of its compression state can be judged. The resistance value of the stack during the stack assembly process can be monitored in real time by the resistance measuring device, and whether the stack assembly is qualified can be judged by the resistance value. The bad stack during the assembly process can be found in time, and the qualified rate and production efficiency of the stack can be improved.

[0089] It should be noted that although the steps of the method in the present application are described in a specific order in the drawings, this does not require or imply that the steps must be performed in this specific order, or that all the steps shown must be performed to achieve the desired results. Additionally or alternatively, some steps may be omitted, multiple steps may be combined into one step, and / or one step may be decomposed into multiple steps, etc.
