However, the thermal management technology of fuel cell stacks still faces the following problems:

[0003] (1) Low heat dissipation efficiency of the stack thermal management system: Hydrogen fuel cells generate a large amount of heat during operation, which needs to be quickly dissipated into the atmosphere through the cooling system to ensure the normal operation of the stack. However, existing stack thermal management systems often cannot meet the heat dissipation requirements under high power conditions, resulting in excessively high stack temperatures, which in turn affects battery performance and life.

[0042] Figure 2is a schematic diagram of a thermal management system for a proton membrane hydrogen fuel cell stack according to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 2 As shown, the thermal management system of the proton membrane hydrogen fuel cell stack includes: a heat generation circuit 201 , a heat dissipation circuit 202 , a heat transfer circuit 203 and a controller 204 .

[0043] The heat generating circuit 201 is used to generate heat to start the fuel cell stack;

[0044] The above-mentioned stack is used to characterize the stack of the proton membrane hydrogen fuel cell.

[0045] The above-mentioned proton membrane hydrogen fuel cell stack thermal management system is used to characterize the system of the proton membrane hydrogen fuel cell stack, which realizes rapid startup speed of the stack at low temperature and rapid heat dissipation during operation through heat exchange.

[0046] The heat generation circuit 201 may refer to a circuit for generating heat. The heat generated by the heat generation circuit 201 can accelerate the chemical reaction rate in the battery stack to increase the startup speed of the battery stack. The heat generation circuit 201 may be arranged near the battery stack. In the heat generation circuit 201, the heat generated by the circuit is used to heat the circulating water flowing through the circuit to increase the temperature of the circulating water.

[0047] A heat dissipation circuit 202 is used to dissipate the heat generated by the battery stack;

[0048] The heat dissipation circuit 202 may refer to a circuit for dissipating the heat generated by the battery stack. The heat dissipation circuit 202 is composed of two heat dissipation branches, and the efficiency of heat dissipation is controlled by controlling the on-off state of the two heat dissipation branches. In the heat dissipation circuit 202, the first heat dissipation branch absorbs the heat of the circulating water flowing through the branch to reduce the temperature of the circulating water, and the second heat dissipation branch uses a cooling fan to reduce the temperature of the circulating water.

[0049] A heat transfer circuit 203, wherein the first output end of the heat transfer circuit is connected to the input end of the heat generating circuit, and the first input end of the heat transfer circuit is connected to the output end of the heat generating circuit to form a first heat exchange circuit; the second output end of the heat transfer circuit is connected to the input end of the heat dissipation circuit, and the second input end of the heat transfer circuit is connected to the output end of the heat dissipation circuit to form a second heat exchange circuit, and the heat transfer circuit is used to control the on / off state of the first heat exchange circuit or the second heat exchange circuit to exchange the heat generated by the fuel cell stack.

[0050] The heat transfer circuit 203 is used to indicate that when the stack is started at low temperature, the heat generated by the heat generation circuit is provided to the stack to increase the startup speed of the stack, and the heat generated by the stack when the temperature is too high is dissipated to quickly reduce the temperature of the stack and ensure the safety of the stack. The heat transfer circuit 203 relies on circulating water to achieve heat transfer.

[0051] Specifically, the heat transfer circuit 203 has two output ends and two input ends, the first output end is connected to the input end of the heat generation circuit 201, and the first input end of the heat transfer circuit 203 is connected to the output end of the heat generation circuit 201 to form a first heat exchange loop; the second output end of the heat transfer circuit 203 is connected to the input end of the heat dissipation circuit 202, and the second input end of the heat transfer circuit 203 is connected to the output end of the heat dissipation circuit 202 to form a second heat exchange loop; in the first heat exchange loop, the heat generated in the heat generation circuit is transferred to the heat transfer circuit 203, and then transferred to the fuel cell stack through the first input end of the heat transfer circuit 203, that is, the heat generated in the heat generation circuit 201 transfers the circulating water flowing through the heat generation circuit 201 into the fuel cell stack. The heated circulating water is heated by passing through the fuel cell stack via the heat transfer circuit 203, and the first heat exchange circuit is circulated multiple times to achieve rapid heating of the fuel cell stack, thereby improving the startup speed of the fuel cell stack; in the second heat exchange circuit, the heat generated by the fuel cell stack is transferred to the heat transfer circuit 203, and then transferred to the heat dissipation circuit 202 through the second output end of the heat transfer circuit for heat dissipation, that is, when the temperature of the fuel cell stack is too high, the circulating water flowing through the fuel cell stack is controlled to enter the heat dissipation circuit 202, and the heat dissipation circuit 202 quickly reduces the temperature of the circulating water and passes the circulating water through the fuel cell stack again via the heat transfer circuit 203 to reduce the temperature of the fuel cell stack, and the second heat exchange circuit is circulated multiple times to achieve rapid cooling of the fuel cell stack to avoid damage to the fuel cell stack due to excessive temperature.

[0052] Specifically, the thermal management system of the proton membrane hydrogen fuel cell stack also includes a controller 204, which is connected to the stack, the heat generation circuit 201 and the heat dissipation circuit 202, and is used to control the heat exchange circuit through which the circulating water flows according to the working state and temperature information of the stack. The controller 204 can control the rate of heat generation in the heat generation circuit and the rate of heat dissipation in the heat dissipation circuit, so that the stack is in a safe and stable working environment.

[0053] In an embodiment of the present invention, a thermal management system for a proton membrane hydrogen fuel cell stack is provided, comprising: a heat generating circuit, which is used to generate heat to start the stack; a heat dissipation circuit, which is used to dissipate the heat generated by the stack; a heat transfer circuit, wherein a first output end of the heat transfer circuit is connected to an input end of the heat generating circuit, and a first input end of the heat transfer circuit is connected to an output end of the heat generating circuit to form a first heat exchange circuit; a second output end of the heat transfer circuit is connected to an input end of the heat dissipation circuit, and a second input end of the heat transfer circuit is connected to an output end of the heat dissipation circuit to form a second heat exchange circuit, and the heat transfer circuit is used to control the first heat transfer circuit. The on and off state of the first heat exchange circuit or the second heat exchange circuit is used to exchange the heat generated by the fuel cell stack. It is easy to notice that the first heat exchange circuit can enable the fuel cell stack to start quickly at low temperatures to improve the response speed of the proton membrane hydrogen fuel cell, and the second heat exchange circuit can enable the fuel cell stack to quickly reduce the temperature when the temperature is too high to avoid damage to the fuel cell stack, thereby achieving the technical effect of improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the fuel cell stack thermal management system and ensuring that the fuel cell stack can start quickly at low temperatures, thereby solving the technical problems of low heat dissipation efficiency, low stability and slow startup speed of the fuel cell stack thermal management system at low temperatures in related technologies.

[0054] Optionally, the heat transfer circuit comprises: a first three-way valve, a first end of the first three-way valve is connected to an input end of the heat generating circuit, a second end of the first three-way valve is connected to an input end of the heat dissipating circuit, and is used to control circulating water to enter the heat generating circuit or the heat dissipating circuit, and the circulating water is transported to the third end of the first three-way valve via a first water pump;

[0055] The first water pump is used to characterize a device that drives circulating water to circulate in the thermal management system of the proton membrane hydrogen fuel cell stack by generating a pressure difference. The first water pump can be a centrifugal pump, an axial flow pump, a gear pump, etc. The specific type of water pump selected is not limited in the present invention. The first water pump is used to transport the circulating water flowing through the stack to the third end of the first three-way valve, that is, the inlet of the first three-way valve.

[0056] The first three-way valve can control whether the circulating water enters the heat generation circuit or the heat dissipation circuit. The circulating water flows into the third end of the first three-way valve via the first water pump and flows out via the first end or the second end of the first three-way valve, wherein the circulating water flows into the heat generation circuit via the first end and flows into the heat dissipation circuit via the second end. In addition, the first three-way valve can control the flow rate of circulating water flowing into other circuits. The three-way valves used in the present invention can realize the switching of the on-off state of the circuit and the control of the circulating water flow rate, and the three-way valves involved in other places will not repeat this function.

[0057] Specifically, when the fuel cell stack is in a low-temperature starting state, the first water pump transports the circulating water flowing through the fuel cell stack to the third end of the first three-way valve, and controls the circulating water to flow out from the first end of the first three-way valve through the first three-way valve to enter the heat generation circuit; when the fuel cell stack is in a high-temperature operating state, the first water pump transports the circulating water flowing through the fuel cell stack to the third end of the first three-way valve, and controls the circulating water to flow out from the second end of the first three-way valve through the first three-way valve to enter the heat dissipation circuit; when the fuel cell stack is operating normally within the preset temperature, the first three-way valve is controlled to be in a blocking state.

[0058] A second three-way valve, wherein the first end of the second three-way valve is connected to the output end of the heat generating circuit, and the second end of the second three-way valve is connected to the output end of the heat dissipating circuit, and is used to control the circulating water in the heat generating circuit or the heat dissipating circuit to flow through the fuel cell stack, and is transported to the third end of the first three-way valve through the first water pump, wherein the circulating water is transported from the third end of the second three-way valve to the first water pump via the second water pump.

[0059] The second water pump is used to drive the circulating water flowing through the heat generation circuit or the heat dissipation circuit to flow through the fuel cell stack and then be transported to the first water pump.

The heat transfer circuit has two output ends and two input ends, the first output end is connected to the input end of the heat generation circuit, and the first input end of the heat transfer circuit is connected to the output end of the heat generation circuit to form a first heat exchange circuit; the second output end of the heat transfer circuit is connected to the input end of the heat dissipation circuit, and the second input end of the heat transfer circuit is connected to the output end of the heat dissipation circuit to form a second heat exchange circuit.

[0078] Specifically, Figure 3 The path marked with a solid line is the path through which the circulating water flows, the path marked with a dotted line with an arrow is the path through which the exothermic reactants and the endothermic reactants are converted between the heat generating circuit and the heat dissipating circuit, and the path marked with a dotted line without an arrow is the path through which the controller controls the main components in the system.

[0079] Specifically, the controller obtains the working state and current temperature information of the stack. When the stack is in a low-temperature startup state, the first heat exchange circuit is used to generate heat to gradually increase the temperature of the stack to the working temperature, thereby increasing the startup speed of the stack. The specific process is as follows: when the battery stack is in a low-temperature starting state, the first water pump transports the circulating water flowing through the battery stack to the third end of the first three-way valve, and controls the circulating water to flow out from the first end of the first three-way valve through the first three-way valve to enter the heat generation circuit; in the heat generation circuit, the first reactant and the second reactant in the exothermic reactant storage area can be controlled by the controller to enter the exothermic reaction zone, so as to perform a synthesis reaction in the exothermic reaction zone, generate heat, and obtain a preset substance, and by controlling the reaction rates of the first reactant and the second reactant, the heat generated in the exothermic reaction zone can be stably controlled; when the circulating water passes through the exothermic reaction zone, it can absorb the heat generated in the exothermic reaction zone to increase the temperature of the circulating water; then the circulating water enters the second water pump through the second three-way valve, thereby flowing through the battery stack to increase the temperature of the battery stack; the first heat exchange circuit is circulated multiple times until the temperature of the battery stack rises to the operating temperature to increase the starting speed of the battery stack. When the stack reaches the normal operating temperature range, the proton membrane hydrogen fuel cell can operate normally, the first end of the first three-way valve is controlled to be in a blocked state, and the controller controls the transportation of the preset substance generated in the exothermic reaction zone to the endothermic reactant storage area.

[0080] Specifically, when the fuel cell stack is in a high-temperature operating state, the first water pump transports the circulating water flowing through the fuel cell stack to the third end of the first three-way valve, and controls the circulating water to flow out from the second end of the first three-way valve through the first three-way valve to enter the heat dissipation circuit; when the second end and the first end of the third three-way valve are both in a conducting state, the circulating water can enter the first heat dissipation branch; in the first heat dissipation branch, the controller can control the preset substance in the endothermic reactant storage area to enter the endothermic reaction zone, and decompose the substance in the endothermic reaction zone to absorb the heat in the circulating water, thereby reducing the temperature of the circulating water and obtaining the first reactant and the second reactant; then, the circulating water cooled by the first heat dissipation branch enters the heat transfer route, flows through the fuel cell stack through the heat transfer route, and cools the fuel cell stack. When the third end and the first end of the third three-way valve are both in the on state, the circulating water can enter the second heat dissipation branch; the cooling fan in the second heat dissipation branch is used to cool the circulating water, and at the same time, the cooling fan can also reduce the ambient temperature; so that the circulating water cooled by the second heat dissipation branch enters the heat transfer route, flows through the fuel cell stack through the heat transfer route, so as to cool the fuel cell stack.

[0081] Furthermore, when the temperature of the fuel cell stack drops to a normal operating temperature range, the third three-way valve is controlled to be in a blocked state. At the same time, the controller is used to control the first reactant and the second reactant generated in the endothermic reaction zone to be transported to the exothermic reactant storage area. When the heat generating circuit undergoes a chemical reaction, the first reactant and the second reactant can continue to be utilized for an exothermic reaction, thereby realizing the recycling of the reactants.

[0082] Furthermore, the chemical reaction in the above-mentioned heat generation circuit and the chemical reaction in the heat dissipation circuit are reversible chemical reactions, which can not only realize the recycling of reactants, but also the chemical reaction in the heat dissipation circuit can increase the decomposition rate with the help of the heat released by the fuel cell stack during high-temperature operation, thereby realizing the recovery of waste heat from the fuel cell stack.

[0083] Based on the above embodiments, when the stack is started at low temperature, the heat generated in the exothermic reaction zone can be stably controlled by controlling the reaction rates of the first reactant and the second reactant, which not only improves the startup speed of the stack but also prevents the stack from being damaged by excessive temperature fluctuations; when the stack is in a high-temperature operating state, the first heat dissipation branch absorbs heat by chemical reaction, and the second heat dissipation branch reduces the temperature by physical means. The dual heat dissipation mechanism improves the heat dissipation efficiency, ensures that the stack can operate within the normal operating temperature range, and the recycling of reactants reduces the operating cost; heat exchange is achieved through chemical reaction, the recycling of reactants is achieved, resource waste is reduced, and the energy efficiency of the stack thermal management system of the proton membrane hydrogen fuel cell is improved; finally, the stack thermal management system of the proton membrane hydrogen fuel cell only involves components such as water pumps, three-way valves and cooling fans, and there are not too many heat dissipation components, thereby simplifying the stack thermal management system and improving the stability of the simplified stack thermal management system.

[0084] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a method for thermal management of a proton membrane hydrogen fuel cell stack is also provided, which is applied to the above-mentioned thermal management system of the proton membrane hydrogen fuel cell stack. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer executable instructions, and although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in an order different from that shown here.

[0085] Figure 4 1 is a flow chart of a thermal management method for a proton membrane hydrogen fuel cell stack according to one embodiment of the present invention, which is applied to a thermal management system for a proton membrane hydrogen fuel cell stack, such as Figure 4 As shown, the method comprises the following steps:

[0086] Step S42, obtaining the working state and current temperature information of the fuel cell stack in the proton membrane hydrogen fuel cell;

[0087] In step S42, the working state of the battery stack is used to characterize whether the battery stack is in a startup state or an operation state; the current temperature information is used to characterize whether the battery stack is in a low temperature state or a high temperature risk state.

[0088] Step S44, determining a target heat exchange mode that the stack needs to be controlled to enter based on the working state and current temperature information;

[0089] In step S44, the target heat exchange mode is used to characterize a heat generation mode or a heat dissipation mode.

[0090] Specifically, the control of the stack to enter the target exchange mode is determined according to whether the current state of the stack is a low-temperature start-up state or a high-temperature operation state. When the current state of the stack is a low-temperature start-up state, the stack is controlled to enter a heat generation mode to quickly increase the temperature of the stack to the operating temperature range, thereby quickly starting the stack; when the current state of the stack is a high-temperature operation state, the stack is controlled to enter a heat dissipation mode to quickly reduce the temperature of the stack to the operating temperature range, thereby preventing the stack from being damaged due to high temperature.

[0091] Step S46, based on the target heat exchange mode, controlling the on / off states of the heat generating circuit and the heat dissipating circuit to exchange the heat generated by the fuel cell stack.

[0092] Specifically, when the current state of the battery stack is a low-temperature start-up state, the target heat exchange mode is determined to be a heat generation mode. The heat generation circuit is controlled to be in a conducting state so that the battery stack enters the heat generation mode. In the heat generation mode, the circulating water is quickly heated up by a chemical reaction, and the heated circulating water flows through the battery stack to quickly increase the temperature of the battery stack to the operating temperature range, thereby quickly starting the battery stack; when the current state of the battery stack is a high-temperature operation state, the target heat exchange mode is determined to be a dissipation mode. The heat dissipation circuit is controlled to be in a conducting state so that the battery stack enters the heat dissipation mode. In the heat dissipation mode, the temperature of the circulating water is quickly reduced through the dual heat dissipation mechanisms of chemical reaction and physical method, and then the circulating water is controlled to flow through the battery stack, so that the temperature of the battery stack is quickly reduced to the operating temperature range, which can not only improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the battery stack thermal management system, but also prevent the battery stack from being damaged due to excessive temperature.

[0093] Based on the above steps S42 to S46, a method of obtaining the working status and current temperature information of the stack in the proton membrane hydrogen fuel cell is adopted. Based on the working status and current temperature information, the target heat exchange mode that needs to be controlled for the stack is determined. Finally, based on the target heat exchange mode, the on-off state of the heat generating circuit and the heat dissipation circuit is controlled to exchange the heat generated by the stack, thereby achieving the purpose of using simple heat dissipation components to ensure that the stack can start quickly at low temperatures and dissipate heat quickly during operation, thereby achieving the technical effect of improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the stack thermal management system, simplifying the stack thermal management system and ensuring that the stack can start quickly at low temperatures, thereby solving the technical problems of low heat dissipation efficiency, low stability and slow startup speed of the stack thermal management system at low temperatures in related technologies.

[0094] Optionally, in step S46, based on the target heat exchange mode, controlling the on / off state of the heat generating circuit and the heat dissipating circuit to exchange the heat generated by the stack includes:

[0095] Step S461, in response to the target heat exchange mode being the first heat exchange mode, controlling the heat generation circuit to be in an on state and the heat dissipation circuit to be in an off state to generate heat, wherein the heat is used to increase the temperature of the battery stack to start the battery stack;

[0096] In step S461, the first heat exchange mode is a heat generation mode.

[0097] Step S462, in response to the target heat exchange mode being the second heat exchange mode, controlling the heat dissipation circuit to be in an on state and the heat generation circuit to be in an off state to dissipate the heat generated by the fuel cell stack.

[0098] In step S462, the second heat exchange mode is a heat dissipation mode.

[0099] Specifically, when the target heat exchange mode is the heat generation mode, the heat generation circuit is controlled to be in an on state and the heat dissipation circuit is controlled to be in an off state so that the fuel cell enters the heat generation mode. In the heat generation mode, the circulating water is rapidly heated up through chemical reactions, and the heated circulating water is then passed through the fuel cell to rapidly increase the temperature of the fuel cell to the operating temperature range, thereby quickly starting the fuel cell; when the target heat exchange mode is the heat dissipation mode, the heat dissipation circuit is controlled to be in an on state and the heat generation circuit is controlled to be in an off state so that the fuel cell enters the heat dissipation mode. In the heat dissipation mode, the temperature of the circulating water is rapidly reduced through a dual heat dissipation mechanism of chemical reactions and physical methods, and the circulating water is then controlled to flow through the fuel cell to rapidly reduce the temperature of the fuel cell to the operating temperature range, which can not only improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the fuel cell thermal management system, but also prevent the fuel cell from being damaged by overtemperature.

[0100] Based on the above steps S461 to S462, in response to the target heat exchange mode being the first heat exchange mode, the heat generating circuit is controlled to be in an on state, and the heat dissipating circuit is controlled to be in an off state to generate heat; in response to the target heat exchange mode being the second heat exchange mode, the heat dissipating circuit is controlled to be in an on state, and the heat generating circuit is controlled to be in an off state to dissipate the heat generated by the battery stack. According to the actual working state and requirements of the battery stack, different target heat exchange modes are flexibly switched. By precisely controlling the on and off states of the heat generating and heat dissipating circuits, the battery stack is controlled to operate in a normal working state, which can not only avoid system instability or failure caused by improper temperature control, but also improve the reliability of the entire system.

[0101] Optionally, in step S461, controlling the heat generating circuit to be in an on state and the heat dissipating circuit to be in an off state to generate heat includes:

[0103] Step S4612, controlling the first reactant and the second reactant to undergo a chemical reaction to generate heat and obtain a preset substance, wherein the preset substance is used to be transported to a heat dissipation circuit for a decomposition reaction.

[0104] Specifically, when the heat generating circuit is in an on state and the heat dissipating circuit is in an off state, the first reactant and the second reactant in the exothermic reactant storage area are obtained, and the first reactant and the second reactant are transported to the exothermic reaction zone through the controller, and the first reactant and the second reactant undergo a chemical reaction in the exothermic reaction zone to generate heat and a preset substance.

[0105] Furthermore, since the heat generation circuit is in the on state and the heat dissipation circuit is in the off state, the circulating water can enter the heat generation circuit and flow through the exothermic reaction zone; the circulating water can absorb the heat generated by the exothermic reaction zone when passing through the exothermic reaction zone to increase the temperature of the circulating water; the circulating water flows through the battery stack through the heat transfer circuit to increase the temperature of the battery stack; the circuit is circulated multiple times until the temperature of the battery stack rises to the operating temperature range, thereby increasing the startup speed of the battery stack. When the battery stack reaches the normal operating temperature range, the proton membrane hydrogen fuel cell can work normally, at this time, the heat generation circuit is controlled to be in the blocked state, and the controller controls the preset substance generated in the exothermic reaction zone to be transported to the endothermic reactant storage area in the heat dissipation circuit to provide raw materials for the decomposition reaction in the heat dissipation circuit.

[0106] Based on the above steps S4611 to S4612, in response to the heat generating circuit being in the on state and the heat dissipating circuit being in the off state, the first reactant and the second reactant are obtained; the first reactant and the second reactant are controlled to undergo a chemical reaction to generate heat, and a preset substance is obtained. By controlling the reaction rates of the first reactant and the second reactant, the heat generated in the exothermic reaction zone can be stably controlled, that is, the startup speed of the battery stack is increased without preventing the battery stack from being damaged due to excessive temperature fluctuations.

[0107] Optionally, in step S462, controlling the heat dissipation circuit to be in an on state and the heat generation circuit to be in an off state to dissipate the heat generated by the battery stack includes:

[0109] Specifically, when the first heat dissipation branch in the heat dissipation circuit is in a conducting state, a preset substance in the endothermic reactant storage area is obtained, and the preset substance is transported to the endothermic reaction zone through a controller, and the preset substance undergoes a decomposition reaction in the endothermic reaction zone to absorb the heat generated by the fuel cell stack and obtain a first reactant and a second reactant.

[0110] Specifically, when the first heat dissipation branch in the heat dissipation circuit is in a conducting state, the circulating water can enter the first heat dissipation branch and flow through the endothermic reaction zone; when the circulating water passes through the endothermic reaction zone, the endothermic reaction zone can absorb the heat in the circulating water to reduce the temperature of the circulating water; then, the circulating water flows through the battery stack through the heat transfer circuit to reduce the temperature of the battery stack; this route is circulated multiple times until the temperature of the battery stack is reduced to the normal operating temperature range. In addition, when the temperature of the battery stack is reduced to the normal operating temperature range, the first heat dissipation branch is controlled to be in a blocked state, and at the same time, the controller is used to control the first reactant and the second reactant generated in the endothermic reaction zone to be transported to the exothermic reactant storage area. When the heat generation circuit undergoes a chemical reaction, the first reactant and the second reactant can continue to be used for an exothermic reaction, thereby realizing the recycling of the reactants.

[0111] Step S4622, in response to the second heat dissipation branch in the heat dissipation circuit being in a conducting state, controlling the cooling fan to be in an operating state to reduce the temperature of the battery stack.

[0112] Specifically, when the second heat dissipation branch in the heat dissipation circuit is in a conducting state, the circulating water can enter the second heat dissipation branch; the cooling fan in the second heat dissipation branch is used to cool the circulating water, and at the same time, the cooling fan can also reduce the ambient temperature; then, the circulating water cooled by the second heat dissipation branch enters the heat transfer route, flows through the fuel cell stack via the heat transfer route, so as to cool the fuel cell stack.

[0113] Based on the above steps S4621 to S4622, in response to the first heat dissipation branch in the heat dissipation circuit being in a conducting state, the preset substance is controlled to perform a decomposition reaction to absorb the heat generated by the fuel cell stack and obtain a first reactant and a second reactant; in response to the second heat dissipation branch in the heat dissipation circuit being in a conducting state, the cooling fan is controlled to be in an operating state to reduce the temperature of the fuel cell stack. The first heat dissipation branch absorbs heat by chemical reaction, and the second heat dissipation branch reduces the temperature by physical means. The dual heat dissipation mechanism ensures that the fuel cell stack can operate within the normal operating temperature range, and the recycling of reactants reduces operating costs.

[0114] Optionally, in step S44, based on the working state and current temperature information, determining the target heat exchange mode that the stack needs to be controlled to enter includes:

[0116] Specifically, when the working state of the battery stack is the startup state and the current temperature information is lower than the first preset threshold value, the battery stack is in the low-temperature startup state, and it is determined that the target heat exchange mode that the battery stack needs to enter is the first heat exchange mode, that is, the heat generation mode. The temperature of the battery stack is quickly raised to the operating temperature range by using the first heat exchange mode, thereby improving the startup speed of the battery stack.

[0117] Step S442, in response to the working state being the running state and the current temperature information being higher than the second preset threshold, determining that the target heat exchange mode is the second heat exchange mode, wherein the second heat exchange mode is used to control the heat dissipation circuit to dissipate the heat generated by the battery stack, and the second preset threshold is higher than the first preset threshold.

[0118] Specifically, when the working state of the stack is the running state and the current temperature information is higher than the first preset threshold, the stack is in a high-temperature running state. At this temperature, the proton membrane hydrogen fuel cell has the risk of being damaged by high temperature, and the target heat exchange mode that the stack needs to enter is determined to be the second heat exchange mode, that is, the heat dissipation mode. The temperature of the stack is quickly reduced to the normal operating temperature range by using the second heat exchange mode, thereby protecting the stack and preventing the stack from being damaged by high temperature.

[0119] Based on the above steps S441 to S442, in response to the working state being the start-up state and the current temperature information being lower than the first preset threshold, the target heat exchange mode is determined to be the first heat exchange mode; in response to the working state being the running state and the current temperature information being higher than the second preset threshold, the target heat exchange mode is determined to be the second heat exchange mode. By dynamically selecting the target heat exchange mode according to the working state of the fuel cell stack and the current temperature information, the flexibility of the fuel cell stack thermal management system of the proton membrane hydrogen fuel cell is improved, ensuring that the fuel cell stack always operates within the normal operating temperature range.

[0121] Step S501, obtaining the working state and current temperature information of the fuel cell stack in the proton membrane hydrogen fuel cell;

[0122] Step S502, in response to the working state being the startup state and the current temperature information being lower than a first preset threshold, determining that the target heat exchange mode is the first heat exchange mode;

[0123] Step S503, in response to the working state being the running state and the current temperature information being higher than the second preset threshold, determining that the target heat exchange mode is the second heat exchange mode;

[0124] Step S504, when the target heat exchange mode is the first heat exchange mode, in response to the heat generating circuit being in an on state and the heat dissipating circuit being in an off state, obtaining a first reactant and a second reactant;

[0125] Step S505, controlling the first reactant and the second reactant to undergo a chemical reaction to generate heat and obtain a preset substance, wherein the heat is used to increase the temperature of the fuel cell stack to start the fuel cell stack;

[0126] Step S506, when the target heat exchange mode is the second heat exchange mode, in response to the first heat dissipation branch in the heat dissipation circuit being in a conducting state, controlling the preset substance to perform a decomposition reaction to absorb heat generated by the fuel cell stack and obtain a first reactant and a second reactant;

[0127] Step S507 , in response to the second heat dissipation branch in the heat dissipation circuit being in a conducting state, controlling the heat dissipation fan to be in an operating state to dissipate the heat generated by the fuel cell stack.

[0128] Based on the above steps S501 to S507, a method of obtaining the working status and current temperature information of the stack in the proton membrane hydrogen fuel cell is adopted. Based on the working status and current temperature information, the target heat exchange mode that needs to be controlled for the stack is determined. Finally, based on the target heat exchange mode, the on-off state of the heat generating circuit and the heat dissipating circuit is controlled to exchange the heat generated by the stack, thereby achieving the purpose of using simple heat dissipation components to ensure that the stack can start quickly at low temperatures and dissipate heat quickly during operation, thereby achieving the technical effect of improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the stack thermal management system, simplifying the stack thermal management system and ensuring that the stack can start quickly at low temperatures, thereby solving the technical problems of low heat dissipation efficiency, low stability and slow startup speed of the stack thermal management system at low temperatures in related technologies.
