Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of fuel cells, in particular to a positioning mechanism for a fuel cell stack, a fuel cell assembly having the positioning mechanism and an assembly method thereof. Background Art
[0002] A fuel cell is a chemical device that directly converts the chemical energy of a fuel into electrical energy. It is composed of a number of stacked bipolar plates and membrane electrodes.
[0003] The membrane electrode is the core reaction area of the fuel cell. The accurate positioning of the bipolar plate and the membrane electrode enables the reaction gas to effectively reach the catalyst layer, ensuring the efficiency of the electrochemical reaction.
[0004] In addition, inaccurate positioning between the bipolar plate and the membrane electrode may result in poor contact, poor sealing or short circuit between them; therefore, accurate positioning is an important prerequisite for ensuring stable operation of the fuel cell.
[0005] The existing technology usually controls the positioning accuracy by combining an internal positioning rod and an external positioning tool for loading the pile.
[0006] This method has the following disadvantages: 1. The internal positioning rod and the external positioning tool need to be repeatedly installed and disassembled before and after stacking and during subsequent maintenance, which is cumbersome to operate; 2. Due to dimensional errors of parts and other reasons, the internal positioning rod and some external positioning tools are prone to friction or collision with the bipolar plates and membrane electrodes during disassembly, causing damage to the battery stack and posing a safety hazard.
[0007] In addition, a fuel cell stack usually includes multiple single cells connected in series, and the multiple single cells need to be compressed by end plates at both ends. In addition, when the core is subjected to temperature shock, the core will expand and contract due to thermal expansion and contraction. Due to the continuous expansion and contraction, if the core is in a fixed and enclosed space, the external compression of the packaging body will seriously affect the normal use of the core.

[0047] In the present invention, the positioning mechanism for the fuel cell stack mainly includes a plurality of positioning rods 3. The positioning rods 3 have one function of laterally limiting the core 5, and another function of cooperating with the packaging shell 2 to limit the installation position of the fuel cell stack structure, specifically, to limit the position of the fuel cell stack structure in the packaging shell 2.

[0049] Furthermore, the positioning substrate in the present invention includes a supporting substrate 31 and an insulating substrate 32. The positioning substrate in the present invention is a supporting and limiting plate. The supporting substrate 31 of the present invention is the middle supporting structure of the positioning substrate, and the insulating substrate 32 not only realizes the supporting and limiting function, but also plays an isolation and protection role.
[0050] Meanwhile, in the present invention, the insulating substrate 32 and the positioning protrusions are distributed on two opposite sides of the supporting substrate 31 ; such a configuration avoids mutual installation interference between the positioning protrusions and the insulating substrate 32 .
[0051] Furthermore, the positioning substrate in the present invention includes a middle support body; a front support body is provided at one end of the middle support body; and a rear support body is provided at the other end; the setting of the middle support body plays a good supporting and raising role, and in the setting of the front support body and the rear support body, the front support body is connected to the front end plate 1, and the rear support body is used to connect to the rear end plate 8. Based on such a setting, the assembly of the battery stack structure is facilitated.
[0052] At the same time, the horizontal projection areas of the front support body and the rear support body of the present invention are larger than the horizontal projection area of the middle support body; the vertical cross-section of the positioning substrate is I-shaped; such a setting allows the front support body and the rear support body to form a horizontal protrusion on the middle support body, which facilitates the subsequent setting of fastening components.

[0054] A fuel cell assembly comprises a packaging shell 2, a core 5, an end plate mechanism and a positioning mechanism for the stack; the packaging shell 2 is a box structure with a hollow interior; the core 5 is placed inside the packaging shell 2; the positioning mechanisms in the positioning mechanism for the stack are distributed around the core 5 and connected to the inner wall of the packaging shell 2; the end plate mechanism comprises a front end plate 1 and a rear end plate mechanism; the front end plate 1 and the rear end plate mechanism are distributed at both ends of the packaging shell 2; the positioning mechanism for the stack, the front end plate 1 and the rear end plate mechanism are pressed against the core 5; the present invention can realize the extrusion fixation of the core 5 in 6 directions by using the positioning mechanism for the stack, the front end plate 1 and the rear end plate mechanism in combination, thereby ensuring the overall strength of the packaging structure and fixing the core 5, thereby improving the overall vibration and impact resistance of the stack.
[0055] In the present invention, the packaging shell 2 is a box structure with a hollow interior; the core 5 is placed inside the packaging shell 2; the positioning rods 3 in the positioning mechanism for the battery stack are evenly distributed on the inner wall of the packaging shell 2; the end plate mechanism includes a front end plate 1 and a rear end plate mechanism; the front end plate 1 and the rear end plate mechanism are distributed at both ends of the packaging shell 2; the positioning mechanism for the battery stack, the front end plate 1 and the rear end plate mechanism are pressed against the core 5; the present invention can realize the extrusion and fixation of the core 5 in 6 directions through the coordinated use of the positioning mechanism for the battery stack, the front end plate 1 and the rear end plate mechanism, while ensuring the overall strength of the packaging structure, the fixation of the core 5 is realized, and the overall vibration and impact resistance of the battery stack is improved.
[0056] The packaging shell 2 of the present invention mainly plays an external protective role, which facilitates the arrangement and placement of the core 5. The core 5 is arranged inside the packaging shell 2, and a positioning mechanism and an end plate mechanism for the fuel cell stack are provided on the packaging shell 2; the positioning mechanism for the fuel cell stack mainly provides internal support for the core 5 placed in the packaging shell 2, and the end plate mechanism mainly provides end support for the core 5, thereby achieving extrusion and fixation of the core 5 in 6 directions. While ensuring the overall strength of the packaging structure, the core 5 is fixed, thereby improving the overall vibration and impact resistance of the fuel cell stack.
[0057] As shown in the figure, the end plate mechanism of the present invention includes a front end plate 1 and a rear end plate mechanism; the front end plate 1 and the rear end plate mechanism are distributed at both ends of the packaging shell 2; the front end plate 1 is used for supporting the lower part of the core 5, and the rear end plate mechanism is used for supporting the upper part of the core 5. In the present invention, the core 5 supporting mechanism is arranged on the inner wall of the packaging shell 2, and the core 5 is squeezed and fixed by pressing the core 5 with the core 5 supporting mechanism, the front end plate 1 and the rear end plate mechanism.
[0058] Furthermore, in the present invention, the rear end plate mechanism includes a rear end plate 8 and a floating end plate 6; the rear end plate 8 is connected to the floating end plate 6 through an elastic mechanism; the floating end plate 6 fits the end face of the core 5; in the present invention, the rear end plate 8 is fixed at the end of the packaging shell 2, and the floating end plate 6 is equivalent to being arranged inside the packaging shell 2, and the floating end plate 6 is pressed against the end of the core 5, thereby achieving blocking and squeezing of the core 5; and the setting of the elastic mechanism enables the floating end plate 6 to have a certain mobility. Such a setting enables the floating end plate 6 to be in contact with the core 5 all the time when the battery cell expands and contracts with heat and cold, and then while achieving the position limitation of the core 5, the compression deformation of the spring 7 can also be used to compensate for the thermal expansion and contraction of the core 5, thereby ensuring that the core 5 still has good sealing performance under low temperature conditions.
[0059] Furthermore, in the present invention, the elastic mechanism includes a plurality of elastic components; the plurality of elastic components are arranged at intervals between the rear end plate 8 and the floating end plate 6; in the present invention, the elastic component includes a support spring 7; the support spring 7 provides elastic force to ensure that the floating end plate 6 and the core 5 are in a constant contact state.
[0060] Furthermore, the elastic component in the present invention also includes a spring pad arranged at the end of the support spring 7; the spring pad plays a good blocking and supporting role, which is convenient for the subsequent cooperation with the tightening bolt 9 to achieve the extrusion and fixation of the floating end plate 6; and prevents the support spring 7 from being separated from the tightening bolt 9.
[0061] Furthermore, the floating end plate 6 described in the present invention is provided with a fixing hole for placing the elastic component; the provision of the fixing hole in the present invention facilitates the placement of the elastic component, and at the same time, the position of the floating end plate 6 can be limited by subsequently inserting the tightening bolts 9 into the corresponding fixing holes, thereby avoiding lateral displacement of the floating end plate 6.
[0062] In addition, the elastic component in the present invention also includes a tightening bolt 9; the tightening bolt 9 passes through the rear end plate 8 and presses against the spring pad in the corresponding fixing hole; the tightening bolt 9 is threadedly connected to the rear end plate 8, and the end portion is inserted into the fixing hole to squeeze the elastic component in the fixing hole, thereby realizing the squeezing of the floating end plate 6 on the end surface of the core 5.
[0063] specific:
[0064] The battery stack structure disclosed in the present invention is designed with a reinforcement structure on the package to ensure the overall structural strength of the package and ensure that the package deformation is within an allowable range under the action of assembly force.
[0065] In addition, a positioning mechanism for the stack is provided between the encapsulating shell 2 and the core 5, and the core 5 is fixed in four directions: front, rear, left and right.
[0066] In the axial direction, the core 5 is fixed by the front end plate 1 and the rear end plate mechanism, so that the core 5 is fixed in six directions. While ensuring the overall strength of the packaging structure, the core 5 is fixed, thereby improving the overall vibration and impact resistance of the fuel cell stack.
[0067] A support spring 7 is designed on the floating end plate 6. The assembly force acts on the support spring 7 through the spring pad. The compression deformation of the spring 7 is used to compensate for the thermal expansion and contraction of the core 5, ensuring that the core 5 still has good sealing performance under low temperature conditions.
[0068] The front end plate 1 is fixed on the packaging shell 2 , the core 5 is placed inside the packaging shell 2 , and the core 5 is abutted against the inner cavity of the positioning mechanism for the stack on all sides; then an end plate 6 is prevented from floating on the core 5 .
[0069] Then, the support spring 7 and the spring washer are sequentially placed into the fixing holes on the floating end plate 6, and the rear end plate 8 is fixed on the packaging shell 2. After the pressure on the press acts on the floating end plate 6 to a certain assembly force, the long tightening bolt 9 is screwed into the threaded through hole of the rear end plate 8 to act on the spring washer, and then the tightening bolt 9 is shortened with a certain torque, so that the force acting on the core 5 reaches a certain degree, and the core 5 is fixed in six directions: front, rear, left, right, up and down. The support spring 7 allows the core 5 to maintain a certain deformation space in the vertical direction, and can also compensate for the assembly force of the core 5 when it shrinks, so that the core 5 can play a sealing role.
[0070] Furthermore, in the present invention, a guide groove 21 is provided on the inner wall of the package shell 2; the setting of the guide groove 21 in the present invention plays a good guiding and limiting role, which is convenient for subsequent use.
[0071] In the present invention, a positioning protrusion is provided on the side of the positioning substrate; the positioning protrusion can cooperate with the guide groove 21 on the inner wall of the packaging shell 2 in subsequent use to guide the installation of the battery stack structure.

[0074] Step 2: Then place the core 5 in the above-mentioned placement cavity;
[0075] Step 3: After step 2 is completed, a rear end plate mechanism is arranged on the core 5 placed on the inner cavity and fixed to form a stack structure;
