AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The existing hydrogen fuel cell stacking wires When the arm loading mechanism adjusts the height of the electrode plate and bipolar plate, frequent height adjustments increase the burden on the control system, resulting in slowing reaction speeds, and require additional sensors and measurement devices to monitor and compensate stack heights, increasing operational complexity and production costs.

Method used

The electrode plate and bipolar plate are transported to the material transfer mechanism through two alternating conveyor belts, and the electrode plate or bipolar plate is supported by sliding rollers at the bottom of the flip rack, and the flip rack is moved simultaneously by driving the movement of the drive assembly, so that the electrode plate or bipolar plate falls naturally, and cooperate with the downward pressure of the downward pressure component to ensure that the electrode plate or bipolar plate falls stably on the storage rack, without manual intervention in the entire process.

Benefits of technology

Automatic stacking of electrode plates and bipolar plates is realized, reducing dependence on manual operation, reducing labor costs, and reducing rework costs by reducing surface damage, ensuring the accuracy and neatness of the stack.

Abstract

The present invention relates to the field of hydrogen fuel cell technology, and specifically to an automatic stacking line for air-cooled stacks used in the production of hydrogen fuel cell stacks, including a frame, a storage rack, a material transfer mechanism and two conveyor belts, the material transfer mechanism including a support frame, a drive assembly and a pressure assembly, the electrode plates and bipolar plates are alternately transported to the material transfer mechanism by two conveyor belts, the electrode plates or bipolar plates are supported by sliding rollers at the bottom of the flip rack, and then the two flip racks are synchronously driven to move by the drive assembly, so that the electrode plates or bipolar plates fall naturally from between the two flip racks. With the downward pressure of the pressure assembly, the auxiliary electrode plate or bipolar plate can fall stably on the storage rack; the above process does not require manual intervention, ensuring the accuracy and neatness of the stacking. Automated stacking reduces dependence on manual operation and reduces labor costs, and due to the reduction in surface damage to the electrode plates and bipolar plates, the rework costs caused by unqualified materials are further reduced.
