[0050] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and beneficial effects of this application clearer, the technical solution in the embodiment of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiment of this application. Obviously, the described embodiment is only a part of the embodiment of this application, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0051] In order to facilitate those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical terms involved in the present application are briefly introduced below.

[0052] A single cell is a component of a fuel cell stack, consisting of a bipolar plate and a membrane electrode assembly (MEA). The membrane electrode assembly is the core component of a single cell power generation. Figure 1 As shown, it is composed of a gas diffusion layer, a catalyst layer and a proton exchange membrane, and specifically includes seven structural layers, namely, a proton exchange membrane, an anode catalyst layer and a cathode catalyst layer, an anode gas diffusion layer and a cathode gas diffusion layer, and a sealing gasket with sealing and fixing functions. The working principle of the membrane electrode assembly is that hydrogen undergoes an oxidation reaction on the surface of the anode catalyst layer under the action of the anode catalyst to generate hydrogen protons and electrons, the hydrogen protons pass through the proton exchange membrane, and undergo a reduction reaction with oxygen on the surface of the cathode catalyst layer under the action of the cathode catalyst to generate water, and the electrons are directionally conducted to the cathode catalyst layer through an external circuit to generate current in the process of directional conduction to provide electricity for the load.

[0053] The target structural layer is a structural layer to be tested that is configured according to actual needs among the various structural layers of the membrane electrode assembly, for example, the target structural layer is the entire membrane electrode assembly, or the target structural layer is the proton exchange membrane of the membrane electrode assembly, or the target structural layer is the proton exchange membrane, anode gas diffusion layer and cathode gas diffusion layer of the membrane electrode assembly, or the target structural layer is the proton exchange membrane, anode gas diffusion layer and cathode gas diffusion layer, anode catalyst layer and cathode catalyst layer of the membrane electrode assembly, etc.

[0054] The spatial domain thickness characteristic data is characteristic data used to characterize the nonlinear relationship between the plane position and the cross-sectional thickness of the target structure layer. For example, the spatial domain thickness characteristic data is a cross-sectional thickness curve of the target structure layer.

[0055] The frequency domain thickness characteristic data is characteristic data used to characterize the periodic relationship between the plane position distance and the cross-sectional thickness peak of the target structure layer. For example, the frequency domain thickness characteristic data is a cross-sectional thickness spectrum diagram of the target structure layer.

[0056] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", "third", etc. mentioned in this application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such terms can be interchanged where appropriate, so that the embodiments described herein can be implemented in an order other than that illustrated or described herein. The term "and / or" mentioned in this application describes the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that three relationships may exist. For example, A and / or B can be represented as A existing alone, A and B existing at the same time, and B existing alone. The character " / " generally indicates that the objects associated before and after are in an "or" relationship.

[0057] After introducing the technical terms involved in this application, the application scenarios and design concepts of this application are briefly introduced.

[0058] In a fuel cell system, the uniformity and attenuation of the thickness of the membrane electrode assembly at various locations are important indicators reflecting the degree of corrosion of the membrane electrode assembly. Detection of the uniformity and attenuation of the thickness of the membrane electrode assembly at various locations is crucial. The traditional solution is usually to measure the thickness of the membrane electrode assembly in full size through a microscope, and then analyze the uniformity and attenuation based on the measured full-size thickness of the membrane electrode assembly. This membrane electrode thickness detection solution has a long cycle, a large workload, and extremely high labor and equipment costs.

[0059] To this end, after obtaining the cross-sectional thicknesses at multiple different positions of the target structural layer of the membrane electrode assembly, the present application inputs the cross-sectional thicknesses at multiple different positions of the target structural layer into a membrane electrode thickness detection model, so as to determine the spatial domain thickness characteristic data and the frequency domain thickness characteristic data of the target structural layer based on the cross-sectional thicknesses at multiple different positions of the target structural layer through the membrane electrode thickness detection model, and then analyzes the spatial domain thickness characteristic data and the frequency domain thickness characteristic data to obtain a thickness detection result for characterizing the thickness uniformity and / or thickness attenuation of the target structural layer, thereby achieving automatic detection of the thickness uniformity and / or thickness attenuation by obtaining a limited number of cross-sectional thicknesses, thereby reducing the cycle and workload of membrane electrode thickness detection, and reducing labor and equipment detection costs, and by performing thickness detection based on the spatial domain thickness characteristic data and the frequency domain thickness characteristic data of the target structural layer through the membrane electrode thickness detection model, the accuracy of the thickness uniformity and / or thickness attenuation of the membrane electrode can be improved.

[0060] After introducing the application scenarios and design ideas of the present application, the technical solutions provided by the present application are described in detail below.

[0061] The present application provides a fuel cell membrane electrode thickness detection method, which can be applied to electronic devices such as computers, for example. Figure 2 As shown, the general process of the fuel cell membrane electrode thickness detection method provided in the embodiment of the present application is as follows:

[0062] Step 201: Obtain cross-sectional thicknesses at multiple different locations of a target structural layer of a membrane electrode assembly. In practical applications, after the membrane electrode assembly is subjected to working condition tests such as carbon corrosion, mechanical durability, and anti-reverse polarity of a small piece fixture, the thickness of each part of the membrane electrode assembly may change compared to the original sample. Therefore, for the membrane electrode assembly after the working condition test, the structure layer to be tested of the membrane electrode assembly can be configured as the target structure layer according to actual needs, for example, the membrane electrode assembly is configured as the target structure layer, and the proton exchange membrane of the membrane electrode assembly is configured as the target structure layer, and the proton exchange membrane, anode gas diffusion layer, and cathode gas diffusion layer of the membrane electrode assembly are configured as the target structure layer, and the proton exchange membrane, anode gas diffusion layer, cathode gas diffusion layer, anode catalyst layer, and cathode catalyst layer of the membrane electrode assembly are configured as the target structure layer, etc., and then, the cross-sectional thickness of multiple different positions calibrated according to the set size interval on the target structure layer of the membrane electrode assembly can be obtained. Specifically, when obtaining the cross-sectional thickness of multiple different positions calibrated according to the set size interval on the target structure layer of the membrane electrode assembly, but not limited to any of the following methods can be used:

[0063] The first method is to collect cross-sectional infrared sensing signals at multiple different positions on the target structure layer calibrated according to set size intervals through an infrared sensor, and determine the cross-sectional thickness at multiple different positions of the target structure layer based on the cross-sectional infrared sensing signals at multiple different positions of the target structure layer.

[0064] For example, multiple positions are pre-calibrated on the target structure layer of the membrane electrode assembly at a set size interval of 3 cm, and then the cross-sectional infrared sensing signals of the multiple positions are respectively collected by an infrared sensor, so as to determine the cross-sectional thicknesses of multiple different positions of the target structure layer based on the cross-sectional infrared sensing signals of the multiple positions.

[0065] The second method is to collect the cross-sectional depth image and cross-sectional RGB image of the target structure layer through a binocular camera device, and perform image analysis on the cross-sectional depth image and the cross-sectional RGB image to identify the cross-sectional thickness at multiple different positions on the target structure layer calibrated according to set size intervals.

[0066] For example, a cross-sectional depth image and a cross-sectional RGB image of a target structure layer are collected by a binocular camera device, and a target recognition model is used to identify the target structure layer in the cross-sectional depth image and the cross-sectional RGB image, as well as the cross-sectional thicknesses at multiple positions on the target structure layer that are pre-calibrated at a set size interval of 3 cm, thereby obtaining the cross-sectional thicknesses at multiple different positions of the target structure layer.

[0067] The third method is to measure the cross-sectional thickness at multiple different locations on the target structure layer calibrated at set size intervals through a microscope.

[0068] For example, multiple positions are pre-calibrated on the target structure layer of the membrane electrode assembly at a set size interval of 3 cm, and then the cross-sectional thickness of the multiple positions is measured by any microscope such as a metallographic microscope, a laser microscope or an electron microscope, thereby obtaining the cross-sectional thickness of multiple different positions of the target structure layer.

[0069] Step 202: input the cross-sectional thicknesses at multiple different positions of the target structure layer into the membrane electrode thickness detection model to obtain the thickness detection result of the target structure layer output by the membrane electrode thickness detection model; wherein the membrane electrode thickness detection model is used to determine the spatial domain thickness characteristic data and the frequency domain thickness characteristic data of the target structure layer based on the cross-sectional thicknesses at multiple different positions of the target structure layer, and then analyze the spatial domain thickness characteristic data and the frequency domain thickness characteristic data to obtain the thickness detection result used to characterize the thickness uniformity and / or thickness attenuation degree of the target structure layer.

[0070] In practical applications, the membrane electrode thickness detection model includes multiple convolutional layers for obtaining spatial domain thickness feature data and frequency domain thickness feature data, and a fully connected layer connected to the multiple convolutional layers for obtaining thickness detection results. For example, see Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the membrane electrode thickness detection model may include a first convolution layer for obtaining spatial domain thickness feature data and a second convolution layer for obtaining frequency domain thickness feature data, which are connected in sequence, and a fully connected layer for obtaining thickness detection results, which is respectively connected to the first convolution layer and the second convolution layer. Based on this, after the cross-sectional thicknesses at multiple different positions of the target structure layer are input into the membrane electrode thickness detection model, when the membrane electrode thickness detection model is used to obtain the thickness uniformity and / or thickness attenuation of the target structure layer based on the cross-sectional thicknesses at multiple different positions of the target structure layer, the following methods may be used but are not limited to:

[0071] First, through the first convolution layer in the membrane electrode thickness detection model, the cross-sectional thickness at multiple different positions of the target structure layer is curve fitted to obtain the spatial domain thickness feature data used to characterize the nonlinear relationship between the plane position and the cross-sectional thickness of the target structure layer; wherein the spatial domain thickness feature data can be as follows Figure 4 The cross-sectional thickness curve of the target structure layer is shown.

[0072] Then, through the second convolution layer in the membrane electrode thickness detection model, the spatial domain thickness feature data is Fourier transformed to obtain the frequency domain thickness feature data used to characterize the periodic relationship between the plane position distance of the target structure layer and the cross-sectional thickness peak value; wherein the frequency domain thickness feature data can be as follows Figure 5 The cross-sectional thickness spectrum of the target structure layer is shown.

[0073] Finally, through the fully connected layer in the membrane electrode thickness detection model, the spatial domain thickness characteristic data and the frequency domain thickness characteristic data are analyzed to obtain the periodic change data of the cross-sectional thickness of the target structure layer. Based on the periodic change data of the cross-sectional thickness of the target structure layer, the thickness detection result used to characterize the thickness uniformity and / or thickness attenuation of the target structure layer is determined.

[0074] In another embodiment, the membrane electrode thickness detection model may further include a first convolution layer for obtaining spatial domain thickness feature data, a third convolution layer for smoothing the spatial domain thickness feature data, and a second convolution layer for obtaining frequency domain thickness feature data, which are sequentially connected, and a fully connected layer for obtaining thickness detection results respectively connected to the first convolution layer and the second convolution layer. Based on this, after the cross-sectional thicknesses at multiple different positions of the target structure layer are input into the membrane electrode thickness detection model, when the membrane electrode thickness detection model is used to obtain the thickness uniformity and / or thickness attenuation of the target structure layer based on the cross-sectional thicknesses at multiple different positions of the target structure layer, the following methods may be used but are not limited to:

[0075] First, through the first convolution layer in the membrane electrode thickness detection model, the cross-sectional thickness at multiple different positions of the target structure layer is curve fitted to obtain the spatial domain thickness feature data used to characterize the nonlinear relationship between the plane position and the cross-sectional thickness of the target structure layer; wherein the spatial domain thickness feature data can be as follows Figure 4 The cross-sectional thickness curve of the target structure layer is shown.

[0076] Then, the spatial domain thickness feature data of the target structure layer is smoothed by the third convolution layer in the membrane electrode thickness detection model to obtain smoothed spatial domain thickness feature data.

[0077] Secondly, through the second convolution layer in the membrane electrode thickness detection model, the smoothed spatial domain thickness feature data is Fourier transformed to obtain the frequency domain thickness feature data used to characterize the periodic relationship between the plane position distance of the target structure layer and the cross-sectional thickness peak value; wherein the frequency domain thickness feature data can be as follows Figure 5 The cross-sectional thickness spectrum of the target structure layer is shown.

[0078] Finally, through the fully connected layer in the membrane electrode thickness detection model, the spatial domain thickness characteristic data and the frequency domain thickness characteristic data are analyzed to obtain the periodic change data of the cross-sectional thickness of the target structure layer. Based on the periodic change data of the cross-sectional thickness of the target structure layer, the thickness detection result used to characterize the thickness uniformity and / or thickness attenuation of the target structure layer is determined.

[0079] It is worth mentioning that in the embodiment of the present application, the spatial domain thickness characteristic data and the frequency domain thickness characteristic data are analyzed through the fully connected layer in the membrane electrode thickness detection model, and the periodic change data such as the peak values ​​of each cross-sectional thickness when the cross-sectional thickness of the target structure layer changes with the size position and the plane position distance between each two cross-sectional thickness peaks can be obtained. When detecting the thickness uniformity, the thickness uniformity used to characterize the target structure layer can be directly determined based on the thickness change period represented by the periodic change data. The longer the thickness change period represented by the periodic change data, the better the thickness uniformity of the target structure layer. The thickness uniformity can be a numerical value such as a score, a grade, or a percentage. When detecting the thickness attenuation degree, in addition to analyzing the spatial domain thickness characteristic data and the frequency domain thickness characteristic data of the target structure layer after the operating condition test of the membrane electrode assembly through the fully connected layer in the membrane electrode thickness detection model to obtain the periodic change data of the cross-sectional thickness of the target structure layer after the operating condition test, it is also necessary to use the membrane electrode thickness detection model to detect the thickness attenuation degree. The fully connected layer in the measurement model analyzes the spatial domain thickness characteristic data and the frequency domain thickness characteristic data of the target structural layer of the membrane electrode assembly before the operating condition test to obtain the periodic change data of the cross-sectional thickness of the target structural layer before the operating condition test, thereby determining the thickness attenuation degree of the target structural layer based on the periodic change data of the cross-sectional thickness of the target structural layer after the membrane electrode assembly is tested under the operating condition and the periodic change data of the cross-sectional thickness of the target structural layer before the membrane electrode assembly is tested under the operating condition. Similarly, the thickness attenuation degree of the target structural layer can be a numerical value such as a score, a grade, or a percentage. Among them, the spatial domain thickness characteristic data and the frequency domain thickness characteristic data of the target structural layer of the membrane electrode assembly before the operating condition test are obtained by inputting the cross-sectional thickness of multiple different positions of the target structural layer of the membrane electrode assembly before the operating condition test into the membrane electrode thickness detection model, and then obtaining them through the first convolution layer (and the third convolution layer) and the second convolution layer in the membrane electrode thickness detection model. The acquisition method is the same as the above-described method, and the repeated parts will not be repeated.

[0080] The following is a brief description of the training process of the membrane electrode thickness detection model provided in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 6 As shown, the training process of the membrane electrode thickness detection model provided in the embodiment of the present application includes the following steps:

[0081] Step 601: Obtain a training sample set; wherein the training sample set includes a plurality of training sample data, each training sample data includes at least the cross-sectional thickness of a target structure layer of a membrane electrode assembly at a plurality of different positions before and after the operating condition test, as well as the standard thickness uniformity and standard thickness attenuation of the target structure layer.

[0082] Step 602: Train the initial membrane electrode thickness detection model based on the training sample set to obtain the membrane electrode thickness detection model. Specifically, the initial membrane electrode thickness detection model can be iteratively trained based on the training sample set until it is determined that the iteration termination condition is met, and the membrane electrode thickness detection model is obtained based on the model parameters of the initial membrane electrode thickness detection model updated when the model training operation is performed for the last time; wherein each execution of the model training operation includes: selecting target training sample data from the training sample set; inputting the cross-sectional thickness of the target structure layer of the membrane electrode assembly contained in the target training sample data at multiple different positions before and after the working condition test into the initial membrane electrode thickness detection model to obtain the predicted thickness uniformity and predicted thickness attenuation output by the initial membrane electrode thickness detection model; determining the current loss value based on the predicted thickness uniformity and predicted thickness attenuation and the standard thickness uniformity and standard thickness attenuation of the target structure layer contained in the target training sample data; and updating the model parameters of the initial membrane electrode thickness detection model based on the current loss value. In practical applications, the iteration termination condition may be, but is not limited to, the number of iterations being not less than the first threshold, the current loss value being not greater than the second threshold, etc.
