Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of hydrogen fuel cell technology, and in particular to a method, device, equipment and medium for stacking hydrogen fuel cell stack modules. Background Art
[0002] Hydrogen fuel cells are an efficient and clean energy device with the advantages of high efficiency, high power density, rapid low-temperature start-up and low pollution. They have good application prospects in many fields such as transportation, aerospace, etc. Hydrogen fuel cell monomers are composed of bipolar plates, sealing rubber, and membrane electrode assemblies. Usually, the output voltage of hydrogen fuel cell monomers is about 1V, which is difficult to meet the power generation capacity requirements. Therefore, the products in actual use are mostly large-scale stack structures containing hundreds of layers of monomers. During the assembly process of the stack, hundreds of hydrogen fuel cell monomers are stacked in series according to the actual current, voltage and power requirements, and the end plates and fasteners are used to tightly package the internal structure together to form a hierarchical stack structure.
[0003] The stacked structure of hundreds of single cells in series in the battery stack places high demands on the assembly process. The high-power battery stack assembled with large-area, thin-thick, and light-weight bipolar plates, sealant layers, and membrane electrode assemblies has an even more urgent need to achieve high-quality and high-efficiency assembly in a micron-level space. However, during the assembly process of the battery stack, the shape error, size error, assembly error, and error caused by the slip of parts under compression load cannot be avoided. With hundreds of layers of components stacked and assembled, the deviations in all directions of the battery stack are continuously transmitted and accumulated, resulting in the deviation of the battery stack exceeding the assembly accuracy requirements, unqualified assembly quality, and directly causing the performance degradation of the battery stack and the failure of the sealing structure. Therefore, how to reduce the assembly deviation of the battery stack module and improve the overall assembly quality and consistency of the battery stack during the assembly process is a technical problem that needs to be solved. Summary of the invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the defects of the above-mentioned prior art and to provide a hydrogen fuel cell stack module stacking method, device, equipment and medium. By collecting stack module parameters, calculating stack module assembly deviations, calculating stack module stacking position intervals, and optimizing stack module stacking positions, the error accumulation is reduced, the assembly deviation of the stack module is ensured to be within the required range of assembly accuracy, and the assembly quality of the stack module is improved.
[0005] The purpose of the present invention can be achieved by the following technical solutions:

[0011] S5. When the total number of stacking layers on the battery stack assembly platform reaches a preset target value, the stacking is stopped, and the total number of stacking layers and assembly deviation of the battery stack are stored in the data processing and display module 3.
[0012] The edge of the battery stack in S1 is the edge of the battery stack module to be stacked parallel to the stacking direction.
[0013] In S2, the deviation between the assembly position coordinates of each component and the corresponding reference coordinates is calculated to obtain the deviation data of each component.
[0014] The assembly deviation of the battery stack to be stacked is calculated based on the deviation data of each component, and the deviation configuration of the battery stack to be stacked is analyzed.
[0015] In S3, according to the stack deviation limit tolerance range and the assembly deviation of the stack to be stacked, the expression of the stacking feasible position variation range is obtained as follows:
[0016] γ=δ-ε1=γ1+γ2,
[0017] Among them, γ is the range of feasible stacking position variation, δ is the stack deviation limit tolerance interval, ε1 is the assembly deviation of the stack to be stacked, γ1 is the distance from the left end point of ε1 to the left end point of δ, and γ2 is the distance from the right end point of ε1 to the right end point of δ.
[0018] Taking the bottom layer of the stack to be stacked as the reference position, according to the range of the feasible stacking position, the expression of the feasible stacking position interval of the stack to be stacked is obtained as follows:
[0019] λ=[P-γ2,P+γ1],
[0020] Wherein, λ is the stacking position interval of the stacked electrodes to be stacked, and P is the reference position.
[0021] In S4, the effects of the assembly deviation of the battery stack to be stacked, the deviation configuration of the battery stack to be stacked and the stacking position interval of the battery stack to be stacked on the straightness of the battery stack edge are described; based on the description results, the stacking position interval of the battery stack to be stacked is used as a constraint condition, and the minimum straightness of the battery stack edge is used as the goal, to obtain the optimized position strategy of the battery stack to be stacked.
[0022] According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a device for stacking hydrogen fuel cell stack modules, including a stack, a stack assembly platform, a stacked stack, a stack to be stacked, stack components, an optical detection module, and a data processing and display module;
[0023] Among them, the battery stack components include sealing rubber, membrane electrode assembly and bipolar plate; in the stacking process, the battery stack components are stacked layer by layer, and stacked according to the assembly accuracy requirements of the battery stack components to obtain the battery stack to be stacked;
[0024] The battery stack is placed on a battery stack assembly platform, and the optical detection module is arranged on the side of the battery stack and connected to the data processing and display module.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0028] (1) Improving the assembly accuracy of hydrogen fuel cell stacks: During the stacking process, high-precision optical scanning equipment is used to scan the edges of the stack modules to obtain data such as the number of stacked layers, overall geometric dimensions, and assembly position coordinates of each part. The assembly deviation of the stack module is then calculated, and the feasible stacking position range is calculated based on the stack deviation limit tolerance range, which effectively reduces error accumulation and ensures that each stack module can be accurately controlled within the allowable deviation range during stacking, thereby significantly improving the overall assembly accuracy of the hydrogen fuel cell stack.
[0029] (2) Optimize the stacking position of the fuel cell modules to improve assembly quality and efficiency: By analyzing the impact of the assembly deviation, deviation configuration and stacking position of the fuel cell modules on the accuracy of the geometric features of the fuel cell edge, the stacking position interval is used as a constraint condition and the optimal accuracy of the geometric features of the fuel cell edge is used as the goal. The optimal stacking position of each fuel cell module is obtained through an optimization algorithm. This optimization strategy not only improves the assembly quality of the fuel cell modules, but also improves the assembly efficiency by reducing the number of rework and adjustments.
[0030] (3) Realize automated and intelligent stacking to meet production line requirements: The optical detection module is connected to the data processing and display module to collect and process the stacking position data of the battery stack module in real time, calculate the assembly deviation and optimize the stacking position. This automated and intelligent stacking method greatly reduces the reliance on manual operation and reduces the errors caused by human factors, while also saving labor costs. In addition, the data processing and display module records and stores the overall stacking number and assembly deviation of the battery stack, which can also provide reliable data support for subsequent quality traceability and continuous improvement. Each battery stack module is treated as an independent unit. On the production line, not only can the assembly accuracy of the battery stack module be guaranteed, but the stacking position between the battery stack modules can also be dynamically adjusted.
