[0024] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present disclosure. Instead, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0025] It is understood that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the present disclosure are used to describe various information, but these information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish the same type of information from each other, and do not indicate a specific order or importance.

[0026] It is further understood that, although the operations are described in a specific order in the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure, it should not be understood as requiring the operations to be performed in the specific order shown or in a serial order, or requiring the execution of all the operations shown to obtain the desired results.

[0027] It should be noted that all actions of acquiring signals, information or data in the present disclosure are carried out in compliance with the relevant data protection laws and policies of the country where the device is located and with the authorization given by the owner of the corresponding device.

[0028] The applicant has found that in the prior art, during the operation of the fuel cell, the reversible attenuation of the fuel cell system is a common phenomenon. The primary influencing factor is the change in the state of the platinum catalyst. The platinum catalyst may be reduced to platinum oxide at a high potential. This change may temporarily affect the activity of the catalyst, thereby affecting the performance of the fuel cell; when the potential is further increased, the platinum may also be oxidized into platinum ions, which may lead to the loss of platinum, thereby exacerbating the decline in the performance of the fuel cell, thereby directly affecting the overall performance of the fuel cell. Secondly, when the fuel cell is started, the membrane will dry out during the loading process due to the lack of gas in the local monolithic cell, and the membrane dryness phenomenon may also cause the reverse polarity phenomenon. Reverse polarity refers to the fact that during the operation of the fuel cell, due to the abnormal internal potential of some monolithic cells, the positive and negative electrodes are reversed. This phenomenon not only causes a sharp decline in the performance of the monolithic cell, but also may cause irreversible damage to the entire fuel cell system. The reverse polarity phenomenon will aggravate the degradation of the electrolyte membrane and the deactivation of the catalyst, and further deteriorate the performance of the fuel cell. Therefore, the applicant has proposed a control method for a fuel cell in response to the above problems. The control method of the fuel cell provided by the present disclosure is described below.

[0029] Figure 1 is a flow chart of a method for controlling a fuel cell according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes: In step S101 , the out-of-stack temperature of a vehicle fuel cell is obtained.

[0030] In step S102, when the stack temperature is less than a preset start-up temperature threshold, the single cell voltage of the fuel cell is determined based on the stack temperature, so as to control the fuel cell to enter a reduction state through the single cell voltage to restore the reversible attenuation of the fuel cell.

[0031] In step S103, when the stack temperature is greater than or equal to a preset starting temperature threshold, the power battery SOC of the vehicle is obtained, and when the power battery SOC is greater than a preset SOC threshold, the single-chip cell voltage of the fuel cell is determined, so as to control the fuel cell to enter a reduction state through the single-chip cell voltage and restore the reversible attenuation of the fuel cell.

[0032] Exemplarily, when the vehicle is in a starting state, the stack outlet temperature of the fuel cell of the vehicle is obtained, and based on the stack outlet temperature and a preset starting temperature threshold, it is determined whether the fuel cell of the vehicle enters a reduction state; when the stack outlet temperature is less than the preset starting temperature threshold, the vehicle needs to enter a reduction state, and the single-chip cell voltage of the fuel cell is determined based on the stack outlet temperature, and the fuel cell is controlled to enter a reduction state by the single-chip cell voltage to restore the reversible attenuation of the fuel cell; when the stack outlet temperature is greater than or equal to the preset starting temperature threshold, the SOC of the power battery of the vehicle is obtained, and when the power battery SOC is greater than the preset SOC threshold, the single-chip cell voltage of the fuel cell is determined, and the fuel cell is controlled to enter a reduction state by the single-chip cell voltage to restore the reversible attenuation of the fuel cell, wherein, in order to avoid the fuel cell of the vehicle being damaged by frequent reduction state when the power battery SOC satisfies a condition greater than the preset SOC threshold, the reduction state is entered only once when the power battery SOC satisfies a condition greater than the preset SOC threshold within one cycle.

[0033] For example: when the vehicle is in the starting state and the rocker switch of the fuel cell of the vehicle is in the on state, the stack temperature of the fuel cell of the vehicle is obtained, and the vehicle controller of the vehicle compares the stack temperature of the fuel cell of the vehicle with the preset starting temperature threshold. When the preset starting temperature threshold is 0°C, when the stack temperature is less than 0°C, the fuel cell of the vehicle must enter the reduction state, and the single-chip cell voltage of the fuel cell is determined based on the stack temperature. The fuel cell is controlled to enter the reduction state by the single-chip cell voltage to restore the reversible attenuation of the fuel cell; when the stack temperature is greater than or equal to 0°C, the power battery SOC of the vehicle is obtained, and the power battery SOC of the vehicle is compared with the preset SOC threshold. Assuming that the preset SOC threshold is 30%, when the power battery SOC is greater than 30%, it is determined whether the vehicle has entered the reduction state in the current cycle. If the fuel cell of the vehicle has not entered the reduction state in the current cycle, the single-chip cell voltage of the fuel cell is determined, and the fuel cell is controlled to enter the reduction state by the single-chip cell voltage to restore the reversible attenuation of the fuel cell, which can reduce the attenuation rate of the fuel cell and increase the service life of the fuel cell.

[0034] Through the above technical solution, the fuel cell of the vehicle can be controlled to enter a reduction state to restore the reversible attenuation of the fuel cell, thereby reducing the fuel cell attenuation rate and increasing the service life of the fuel cell. At the same time, the fuel cell power generation efficiency can be improved, the vehicle's hydrogen consumption can be reduced, the economy and competitive advantage can be improved, and the safety of the entire vehicle can be improved.

[0035] Figure 2 is a flow chart showing another method for controlling a fuel cell according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 2 As shown, step S102 includes: In step S1021, when the stack-out temperature is less than the preset start-up temperature threshold, the stack-out temperature is compared with a first preset temperature threshold; In step S1022, when the stack temperature is greater than or equal to a first preset temperature threshold, the DC controller is controlled not to load current, and the fuel cell is controlled to enter a reduction state according to the single cell voltage to restore the reversible attenuation of the fuel cell, or the fuel cell is controlled to shut down due to a fault; In step S1023, when the stack temperature is lower than the first preset temperature threshold, the fuel cell stack is heated by the vehicle's PTC heater, and after the stack is heated, the DC controller is controlled not to draw current, and the fuel cell is controlled to enter a reduction state according to the single-chip cell voltage to restore the reversible attenuation of the fuel cell, or the fuel cell is controlled to shut down due to a fault.

[0036] Exemplarily, when the stack temperature is less than a preset starting temperature threshold, the fuel cell of the vehicle must enter a reduction state, compare the stack temperature with a first preset temperature threshold, and determine the starting mode of the fuel cell based on the comparison result; when the stack temperature is greater than or equal to the first preset temperature threshold, the fuel cell starts normally, controls the DC controller not to load current, and controls the fuel cell to enter a reduction state to restore the reversible attenuation of the fuel cell according to the single-chip battery voltage, or controls the fuel cell to shut down in case of a fault; when the stack temperature is less than the first preset temperature threshold, the fuel cell of the vehicle performs a low-temperature cold start, heats the fuel cell stack through the vehicle's PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) heater and water pump, and after heating the stack, controls the DC controller not to load current, and controls the fuel cell to enter a reduction state to restore the reversible attenuation of the fuel cell according to the single-chip battery voltage, or controls the fuel cell to shut down in case of a fault. When the fuel cell of the vehicle performs a low-temperature cold start, when the fuel cell of the vehicle is in a reduction state, the heat energy generated by the fuel cell in the reduction state and the PTC heater of the vehicle are used to heat the fuel cell stack, which can save the power of the vehicle's power battery, shorten the heating time and shorten the start-up time of the fuel cell; in winter when the ambient temperature is low and the temperature difference is large, the benefit of heating through the heat energy generated by the fuel cell in the reduction state is greater than in summer when the temperature difference is small, and the benefit of platinum oxide reduction when the fuel cell is in the reduction state in summer when the temperature difference is small is greater than in winter when the ambient temperature is low and the temperature difference is large.

[0037] The above scheme can determine the starting mode of the fuel cell of the vehicle according to the stack temperature and the first preset threshold value during the operation of the fuel cell, and restore the reversible decay of the fuel cell or control the fuel cell to shut down due to a fault, when the vehicle has not performed the recovery of the reversible decay of the fuel cell in the current cycle, thereby avoiding the platinum catalyst being reduced to platinum oxide at a high potential to affect the activity of the catalyst, thereby affecting the performance of the fuel cell or causing the loss of platinum, and can avoid aggravating the decline in fuel cell performance and affecting the overall performance of the fuel cell.

[0038] Figure 3 is a flow chart showing another method for controlling a fuel cell according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 3 As shown, the DC controller in steps S1022 and S1023 does not load current, and controls the fuel cell to enter a reduction state to restore the reversible attenuation of the fuel cell according to the voltage of the single-chip battery, or controls the fuel cell to shut down due to a fault, including: In step S10203, after controlling the DC controller not to draw current, the voltage of the single-chip battery is compared with a first preset voltage threshold.

[0039] Exemplarily, after controlling the DC controller not to pull current, a first preset time period is continued to allow the single-chip battery voltage in the fuel cell system to reach a stable state. After the single-chip battery voltage reaches a stable state, the single-chip battery voltage is compared with a first preset voltage threshold.

[0040] In step S10204, when the single-chip battery voltage is greater than or equal to the first preset voltage threshold, the DC controller is used to control the single-chip battery voltage to drop to the second preset voltage threshold so that the fuel cell enters a reduction state, until the stack temperature and / or the reduction state meets the first set condition, the DC controller is used to reduce the current to adjust the single-chip battery voltage so that the fuel cell responds to the target power of the entire vehicle.

[0041] In step S10205, when the single-chip battery voltage is less than the first preset voltage threshold and the single-chip battery voltage meets the second set condition, the fuel cell is controlled to perform a fault shutdown.

[0042] Exemplarily, the first setting condition includes that the restoration state continues for a second preset time period, and the second setting condition is that when the single-chip battery voltage is less than the first preset voltage threshold for a third preset time period, the single-chip battery voltage is compared with the first preset voltage threshold again. If the single-chip battery voltage is still less than the first preset voltage threshold, the second setting condition is met.

[0043] Optionally, in another embodiment, the first setting condition may be that the stack temperature is greater than a second preset temperature threshold and / or the reduction state lasts for a second preset time, and the second setting condition may be that when the single cell voltage is less than the first preset voltage threshold for a third preset time, the single cell voltage is compared with the first preset voltage threshold again, and the single cell voltage is still less than the first preset voltage threshold; accordingly, when the fuel cell of the vehicle is started normally, step S104 may include: In step S10406, when the stack temperature is greater than or equal to the first preset temperature threshold and the updated first startup number is zero, the DC controller is controlled not to load current for a first preset time period, and the single cell voltage is compared with the first preset voltage threshold.

[0044] In step S10407, when the single-chip battery voltage is greater than or equal to the first preset voltage threshold, the DC controller is used to control the single-chip battery voltage to decrease to the second preset voltage threshold, so that the fuel cell enters a reduction state, until the stack temperature is greater than the second preset temperature threshold and / or the reduction state lasts for a second preset time, the DC controller is used to reduce the current to control the single-chip battery voltage, so that the fuel cell responds to the target power of the whole vehicle, and the first startup number is increased by one.

[0045] In step S10408, when the single-chip battery voltage is less than the first preset voltage threshold and lasts for a third preset time, the single-chip battery voltage is compared with the first preset voltage threshold again. If the single-chip battery voltage is less than the first preset voltage threshold, the fuel cell is controlled to shut down due to a fault.

[0046] Exemplarily, when the first preset temperature threshold is 0°C, the second preset temperature threshold is 60°C, the first preset time is 1s, the second preset time is 1min, the third preset time is 3s, the first preset voltage threshold is 0.6v, and the second preset voltage threshold is 0.2v, the FCU of the vehicle determines the difference between the stack temperature and the first preset temperature threshold. When the stack temperature is greater than or equal to 0°C and the updated first startup number is 0, the single-chip battery voltage is established, the DC controller is controlled not to load current and lasts for 1s, and the difference between the single-chip battery voltage and 0.6v is determined. When the voltage of the single cell is greater than or equal to 0.6v, based on the oxygen starvation control strategy, the DC controller controls the voltage of the single cell to be reduced to 0.2v, so that the fuel cell enters a reduction state, reduces the platinum oxide generated by the high voltage, and quickly heats the stack to generate a large amount of water, weakens the adsorption of the catalyst on the sulfonic acid group in the proton exchange membrane, and restores reversible decay until the stack temperature is greater than 60°C and / or the reduction state lasts for 1min, and the DC controller reduces the current to control the voltage of the single cell, so that the fuel cell responds to the target power of the whole vehicle, and the first startup number is increased by one. When the voltage of the single cell is less than 0.6v and lasts for 3s, the FCU of the vehicle is used to judge the size of the voltage of the single cell and 0.6v again. If the voltage of the single cell is less than 0.6v, the fuel cell is controlled to shut down due to a fault. The above process can make the fuel cell enter a reduction state, avoiding the platinum catalyst being reduced to platinum oxide at a high potential to affect the activity of the catalyst, thereby affecting the performance of the fuel cell or causing the loss of platinum, thereby avoiding aggravating the decline in fuel cell performance and avoiding affecting the overall performance of the fuel cell. Optionally, in another embodiment, the fuel cell of the vehicle is cold-started at a low temperature, and the step S104 also includes: In step S10408, when the stack temperature is lower than a first preset temperature threshold, the fuel cell is controlled to be cold-started at a low temperature, and the fuel cell stack is heated by the vehicle's PTC heater and water pump. When the stack temperature is higher than a preset start temperature, the DC controller is controlled not to draw current, and after a first preset time period, the single-cell battery voltage is compared with a first preset voltage threshold.

[0047] In step S10409, when the single-chip battery voltage is greater than or equal to the first preset voltage threshold, the DC controller is used to control the single-chip battery voltage to decrease to the second preset voltage threshold, so that the fuel cell enters a reduction state, until the stack temperature is greater than the second preset temperature threshold, the DC controller is used to reduce the current to control the single-chip battery voltage, so that the fuel cell responds to the target power of the whole vehicle, and the first startup number is increased by one.

[0048] In step S10410, when the single-chip battery voltage is less than the first preset voltage threshold and lasts for a third preset time, the single-chip battery voltage is compared with the first preset voltage threshold again. If the single-chip battery voltage is less than the first preset voltage threshold, the fuel cell is controlled to shut down due to a fault.

[0049] Exemplarily, when the stack temperature is less than 0°C, the fuel cell is controlled to start at low temperature, and the fuel cell stack is heated by the vehicle's PTC heater and water pump. When the stack temperature is greater than a preset start-up temperature, the single-chip battery voltage is established, the DC controller is controlled not to load current, and after 1 second, the single-chip battery voltage is compared with 0.6V. When the single-chip battery voltage is greater than or equal to 0.6V, the DC controller is used to control the single-chip battery voltage to drop to 0.2V, so that the fuel cell enters a reduction state, reduces the platinum oxide generated by the high voltage, and The stack heats up quickly, generating a large amount of water, weakening the adsorption of the catalyst on the sulfonic acid group in the proton exchange membrane, and restoring reversible decay until the stack temperature is greater than 60°C, and the DC controller reduces the current and re-establishes the single-chip battery voltage, so that the fuel cell responds to the target power of the vehicle, the fuel cell jumps to the operating state, and the first startup number is increased by one; when the single-chip battery voltage is less than 0.6v and lasts for 3s, the FCU of the vehicle again determines the size of the single-chip battery voltage and 0.6v. If the single-chip battery voltage is less than 0.6v, the fuel cell is controlled to shut down due to a fault. The above process can make the fuel cell enter a reduction state, avoiding the reduction of the platinum catalyst to platinum oxide at a high potential, which affects the activity of the catalyst, thereby affecting the performance of the fuel cell or causing the loss of platinum, thereby avoiding aggravating the decline in fuel cell performance and avoiding affecting the overall performance of the fuel cell.

[0050] Figure 4is a flow chart showing another method for controlling a fuel cell according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 4 As shown, step S103 includes: In step S1031, when the stack temperature is greater than or equal to a preset start-up temperature threshold, the power battery SOC of the vehicle and the first start-up number of the vehicle are obtained.

[0051] In step S1032, when the SOC of the power battery is less than or equal to the preset SOC threshold, the first startup number is increased by one to obtain the updated first startup number of the fuel cell.

[0052] In step S1033, when the power battery SOC is greater than the preset SOC threshold and when the first startup number is zero, the single-chip cell voltage of the fuel cell is determined to control the fuel cell to enter a reduction state through the single-chip cell voltage to restore the reversible attenuation of the fuel cell.

[0053] Exemplarily, when the stack temperature is greater than or equal to the first preset temperature threshold, the SOC of the power battery of the vehicle and the first startup number of the vehicle are obtained, and when the SOC of the power battery is less than or equal to the preset SOC threshold, the first startup number is added by one to obtain the first startup number after the fuel cell is updated. For example: when the preset SOC threshold is 30%, the SOC of the current power battery of the vehicle is less than or equal to 30%, then the first startup number of the vehicle is +1, and recorded as the updated first startup number; that is, when the first startup number is 0, the updated first startup number is recorded as 1, or, when the first startup number is N, the updated first startup number is recorded as N+1; when the stack temperature is greater than or equal to the first preset temperature threshold, and when the first startup number is zero, the single-chip cell voltage of the fuel cell is determined, so as to control the fuel cell to enter a reduction state through the single-chip cell voltage, and restore the reversible attenuation of the fuel cell. When the stack outlet temperature is greater than or equal to a first preset temperature threshold and the vehicle has not performed recovery of the reversible decay of the fuel cell in the current cycle, the single-chip cell voltage of the fuel cell can be determined based on the stack outlet temperature, and the fuel cell can be controlled to enter a reduction state through the single-chip cell voltage to recover the reversible decay of the fuel cell, thereby avoiding the platinum catalyst being reduced to platinum oxide at a high potential to affect the activity of the catalyst, thereby affecting the performance of the fuel cell or causing the loss of platinum, and can avoid aggravating the decline in fuel cell performance and avoiding affecting the overall performance of the fuel cell.

[0054] Figure 5 is a flow chart of another method for controlling a fuel cell according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 5 As shown, step S1033 includes: In step S10331, when the SOC of the power battery of the vehicle is greater than a preset SOC threshold and the first startup number is zero, the DC controller is controlled not to load current, and then the single-chip battery voltage is compared with a first preset voltage threshold.

[0055] In step S10332, when the single-chip battery voltage is greater than or equal to the first preset voltage threshold, the DC controller is used to control the single-chip battery voltage to drop to the second preset voltage threshold so that the fuel cell enters a reduction state. Until the stack temperature and / or the reduction state meets the first set condition, the DC controller is used to reduce the current to adjust the single-chip battery voltage so that the fuel cell responds to the target power of the vehicle.

[0056] In step S10333, when the single-chip battery voltage is less than the first preset voltage threshold and the single-chip battery voltage meets the second set condition, the fuel cell is controlled to perform a fault shutdown.

[0057] Exemplarily, when the SOC of the vehicle's power battery is greater than a preset SOC threshold and the first number of startup times is zero, the DC controller is controlled not to draw current, and then the single-chip battery voltage is compared with the first preset voltage threshold; when the single-chip battery voltage is greater than or equal to the first preset voltage threshold, the DC controller is used to control the single-chip battery voltage to decrease to a second preset voltage threshold, so that the fuel cell enters a reduction state, until the stack temperature and / or the reduction state meets a first set condition, and the DC controller is used to reduce the current to adjust the single-chip battery voltage, so that the fuel cell responds to the target power of the entire vehicle; when the single-chip battery voltage is less than the first preset voltage threshold, and the single-chip battery voltage meets the second set condition, the fuel cell is controlled to shut down due to a fault.

[0058] Exemplarily, when the preset SOC threshold is 30%, the first preset voltage threshold is 0.6v, the second preset voltage threshold is 0.2v, the first setting condition and the second setting condition are time thresholds, the first setting condition is 1min, and the second setting condition is 3s, the SOC of the power battery of the vehicle is greater than 30% and the first startup number is zero, the single-chip battery voltage is established, the DC controller is controlled not to load current, and the FCU of the vehicle determines the size of the single-chip battery voltage and 0.6v. When the single-chip battery voltage is greater than or equal to 0.6 v, based on the oxygen starvation control strategy, the DC controller controls the voltage of the single-chip battery to be reduced to 0.2v, so that the fuel cell enters a reduction state, reduces the platinum oxide generated by the high voltage, and quickly heats the stack to generate a large amount of water, weakens the adsorption of the catalyst on the sulfonic acid group in the proton exchange membrane, and restores reversible decay until the stack temperature is greater than 60°C and / or the reduction state lasts for 1min, and the DC controller reduces the current to control the voltage of the single-chip battery, so that the fuel cell responds to the target power of the whole vehicle, and the first startup number is increased by one. The FCU of the vehicle is used to judge the size of the single-chip battery voltage and 0.6v again. If the single-chip battery voltage is less than 0.6v and lasts for 3s, the fuel cell is controlled to shut down due to a fault. Through the above process, the fuel cell can enter a reduction state, avoiding the reduction of the platinum catalyst to platinum oxide at a high potential to affect the activity of the catalyst, thereby affecting the performance of the fuel cell or causing the loss of platinum, thereby avoiding aggravating the decline in fuel cell performance and avoiding affecting the overall performance of the fuel cell.

[0059] Figure 6 is a flow chart of another method for controlling a fuel cell according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 6 As shown, step S1031 includes: In step S10311, when the vehicle is in the startup state, the first startup number of the fuel cell is determined based on a preset cycle and whether the fuel cell of the vehicle has entered a reduction state in the current cycle.

[0060] In step S10312, when the fuel cell has not entered the reduction state, the first startup times of the fuel cell are set to zero.

[0061] In step S10313, when the fuel cell enters the reduction state, it is determined whether the current cycle of the vehicle is the same as the cycle when the vehicle was last started.

[0062] In step S10314, when the current cycle of the vehicle is different from the cycle of the last startup state of the vehicle, the first startup number of the fuel cell is set to zero.

[0063] In step S10315, when the current cycle of the vehicle is the same as the cycle of the last startup state of the vehicle, the first startup number is increased by one to obtain an updated first startup number of the fuel cell.

[0064] Exemplarily, the first number of startups of the fuel cell is determined based on a preset cycle and whether the fuel cell of the vehicle has entered a reduction state in the current cycle. When the fuel cell has not entered a reduction state, the vehicle must enter a reduction state if the conditions for entering a reduction state are met in any cycle. When the fuel cell has entered a reduction state, if the vehicle obtains the first number of startups of the fuel cell of the vehicle, the preset cycle is set according to the battery status of the vehicle.

[0065] Optionally, in another embodiment, taking the current date as a preset period, step S1031 includes: In step S10316, when the vehicle is in the startup state, the current date is obtained and compared with the date when the vehicle was last in the startup state.

[0066] In step S10317, when the current date is increased compared to the date when the vehicle was last started, it is determined that there is a jump span in the current date, and the first startup times of the fuel cell are set to zero.

[0067] In step S10318, when the current date is the same as the date when the vehicle was last started, it is determined that there is no jump span in the current date, and the first startup number of the fuel cell remains the current startup number.

[0068] Exemplarily, the vehicle is first powered on at low voltage, the instrument is started, and then the vehicle is powered on at high voltage. When the vehicle is in the startup state, the current date is obtained, and the current date is the time date in the networking state, and the current date is compared with the date when the vehicle was last in the startup state. When the current date is compared with the date when the vehicle was last in the startup state, there is a jump span in the current date, and the first startup number of the fuel cell is set to zero. When the current date is the same as the date when the vehicle was last in the startup state, it is determined that there is no jump span in the current date, and the first startup number of the fuel cell remains the current startup number; for example: the current date obtained is M, when the date when the vehicle was last in the startup state increases compared to M, the first startup number of the fuel cell is recorded as 0, and when the date when the vehicle was last in the startup state is the same as M, the current startup number N is obtained, and the first startup number is recorded as N; the startup number of the fuel cell of the vehicle is refreshed every day through the vehicle controller of the vehicle.

[0069] Optionally, in another embodiment, comprising: In step S10319, when the first startup number is zero, the power battery SOC of the vehicle is obtained; when the power battery SOC is less than or equal to a preset SOC threshold, the first startup number is increased by one to obtain the first startup number after the fuel cell is updated; when the power battery SOC is greater than the preset SOC threshold, the first startup number is used as the first startup number after the fuel cell is updated.

[0070] Exemplarily, when the first startup number is zero and the rocker switch of the fuel cell is in the on state, the power battery SOC of the vehicle is obtained. When the power battery SOC is less than or equal to a preset SOC threshold, the first startup number is increased by one to obtain the updated first startup number. When the power battery SOC is greater than the preset SOC threshold, the first startup number is used as the updated first startup number. For example: when the preset SOC threshold is 30%, and the SOC of the vehicle's current power battery is less than or equal to 30%, the first startup number of the vehicle is +1, and recorded as the updated first startup number; that is, when the first startup number is 0, the updated first startup number is recorded as 1, or, when the first startup number is N, the updated first startup number is recorded as N+1; when the SOC of the vehicle's current power battery is greater than 30%, the first startup number of the vehicle is recorded as the updated first startup number, that is, when the first startup number is 0, the updated first startup number is recorded as 0, or, when the first startup number is N, the updated first startup number is recorded as N.

[0071] Optionally, the method further comprises: When the rocker switch of the fuel cell is in the off state, a shutdown command is generated by the vehicle controller of the vehicle, and the shutdown command is used to instruct the fuel cell controller to control the engine of the fuel cell to shut down.

[0072] Exemplarily, when the rocker switch of the fuel cell is in the off state, the circuit to which the fuel cell of the vehicle belongs is in the disconnected state, and a shutdown command is generated by the vehicle controller of the vehicle, and the shutdown command is used to instruct the fuel cell controller to control the engine of the fuel cell to shut down.

[0073] Through the above technical solution, the fuel cell of the vehicle can be controlled to enter a reduction state to restore the reversible attenuation of the fuel cell, thereby reducing the fuel cell attenuation rate and increasing the service life of the fuel cell. At the same time, the fuel cell power generation efficiency can be improved, the vehicle's hydrogen consumption can be reduced, the economy and competitive advantage can be improved, and the safety of the entire vehicle can be improved.
