DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0032] Example: Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, a fuel cell compressor device comprises a main frame 1, a DC motor 2 is fixedly installed on the left side of the inner bottom surface of the main frame 1 by bolts, a compressor 3 is fixedly installed on the right side of the inner bottom surface of the main frame 1 by bolts, the output shaft of the DC motor 2 is coaxially fixedly connected to a driving pulley 4, the input shaft of the compressor 3 is coaxially fixedly connected to a driven pulley 5, and the driving pulley 4 and the driven pulley 5 are driven by a transmission belt;

[0033] The normal working process of the fuel cell compressor is that the DC motor 2 drives the compressor 3 to work through the driving pulley 4, the driven pulley 5 and the transmission belt.

[0034] like Figure 5-Figure 7 As shown, a vibration feedback mechanism is also installed on the inner bottom surface of the main frame 1, and the vibration feedback mechanism includes a cross plate 6, a swing plate 7 is rotatably connected to the middle of the front of the cross plate 6, a counterweight swing block 28 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the swing plate 7, an arc-shaped rack 8 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the swing plate 7, the arc-shaped rack 8 is meshed with a spur rack 9, a piston rod 13 is fixedly connected to the right side of the spur rack 9, and a piston 18 is fixedly connected to the right end of the piston rod 13;

[0035] When the fuel cell compressor is working normally, the mechanical vibration generated will cause the swing plate 7 to swing back and forth. The function of the counterweight block 28 is to increase the rotational inertia of the swing plate 7. As the swing plate 7 swings back and forth, the arc-shaped rack 8 drives the spur rack 9 to move back and forth, further driving the piston rod 13 to move back and forth, and the piston 18 moves synchronously with the piston rod 13.

[0036] like Figure 6As shown, the left and right ends of the cross plate 6 are fixedly connected with fixed plates 10, a positioning slide bar 11 is horizontally fixedly connected between the two fixed plates 10, and the cross-section of the positioning slide bar 11 is rectangular, and a slider 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the spur rack 9, and the slider 12 is slidably connected to the positioning slide bar 11.

[0037] The cross section of the positioning slide bar 11 is rectangular, which can limit the rotation of the slider 12 , and the spur rack 9 will move along the direction of the positioning slide bar 11 .

[0038] like Figure 6 As shown, two support plates 19 are fixedly connected to the inner bottom surface of the main frame 1, the top surfaces of the two support plates 19 are fixedly connected to the same water delivery cylinder 20, and the piston 18 is slidably connected inside the water delivery cylinder 20;

[0039] The right side of the water delivery cylinder 20 is connected with a water inlet pipe 21 and a water outlet pipe 22, both of which are equipped with one-way valves. The water inlet pipe 21 is connected with a heat exchange plate 23, and the water outlet pipe 22 is connected with an external water pipe.

[0040] like Figure 5 As shown, the one-way valve on the water inlet pipe 21 makes the water flow direction of the water inlet pipe 21 enter the water delivery cylinder 20, and the one-way valve on the water outlet pipe 22 makes the water flow direction of the water outlet pipe 22 enter the water delivery cylinder 20 into the water outlet pipe 22. The piston 18 is pushed by the piston rod 13 to reciprocate inside the water delivery cylinder 20. During the movement of the piston 18 to the left, the water in the water inlet pipe 21 is pumped into the water delivery cylinder 20. At this time, the one-way valve on the water outlet pipe 22 is closed. During the movement of the piston 18 to the right, the water in the water delivery cylinder 20 is pushed into the water outlet pipe 22. At this time, the one-way valve on the water inlet pipe 21 is closed.

[0041] like Figure 8 As shown, a metal serpentine tube is provided inside the heat exchange plate 23, and the water inlet pipe 21 is connected to the outlet of the metal serpentine tube, and the inlet of the metal serpentine tube is connected to the external water pipe.

[0042] During the reciprocating movement of the piston 18, the water in the metal serpentine tube inside the heat exchange plate 23 is always in a flowing state, taking away the heat generated by the operation of the compressor. In order to improve the heat exchange efficiency, the heat exchange plate 23 and the metal serpentine tube are both made of copper with high thermal conductivity.

[0043] A limit plate 14 is fixedly connected to the upper front part of the cross plate 6, a slide plate 15 is slidably connected to the limit plate 14, and the cross section of the slide plate 15 is rectangular, a mouth-shaped plate 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the slide plate 15, a top plate 17 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the cross plate 6, and a button for activating the alarm is installed on the bottom surface of the top plate 17.

[0044] like Figure 7As shown, a connecting rod 24 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the swing plate 7, and a movable block 27 is rotatably connected to the end of the connecting rod 24. The movable block 27 is slidably connected to the bottom surface of the mouth-shaped plate 16.

[0045] When the fuel cell compressor vibrates abnormally, the swing amplitude of the swing plate 7 will increase. As the swing plate 7 swings, the connecting rod 24 drives the mouth-shaped plate 16 to move vertically along the direction of the slide plate 15, and the vertical height of the connecting rod 24 changes. When the connecting rod 24 reaches the highest point, the top surface of the mouth-shaped plate 16 presses the button, and the alarm is activated.

[0046] When the fuel cell compressor works normally, the swing amplitude of the swing plate 7 is in a normal range. Even if the connecting rod 24 reaches the highest point, the top surface of the mouth-shaped plate 16 will not touch the button. The normal swing amplitude of the swing plate 7 is positively correlated with the distance from the top surface of the mouth-shaped plate 16 to the button. That is, the greater the distance from the top surface of the mouth-shaped plate 16 to the button, the greater the normal swing amplitude of the swing plate 7.

[0047] A spring is fixedly connected between the top surface of the mouth-shaped plate 16 and the bottom surface of the top plate 17 , and a baffle is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the slide plate 15 , and the baffle contacts the top surface of the limiting plate 14 .

[0048] The spring plays a buffering role when the mouth-shaped plate 16 presses the button, and the baffle plays a limiting role in the downward movement of the slide plate 15.

[0049] A soundproof cover 25 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom surface of the main frame 1, and the rear side of the soundproof cover 25 is set as a shutter air inlet;

[0050] The DC motor 2 , the compressor 3 and the vibration feedback mechanism are all located inside the soundproof cover 25 , and the heat exchange plate 23 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the soundproof cover 25 .

[0051] Sound insulation cotton is pasted on the inner wall of the sound insulation cover 25 to reduce the operating noise of the fuel cell compressor, and air can enter the compressor 3 through the shutter air inlet.

[0052] Side guard plates are installed on the left and right sides of the main frame 1 by bolts, a front door panel is installed on the front of the main frame 1 by bolts, an air inlet is opened on the front of the front door panel, and an electric control cabinet 26 is installed on the top surface of the main frame 1.

[0053] The fuel cell compressor is protected by the side guard plates, the front door plate and the main frame 1. The air inlet on the front door plate allows external air to enter the main frame 1. A PLC controller is installed inside the electric control cabinet 26, and the PLC controller can control the operation of the DC motor 2.

[0054] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or replace some of the technical features therein by equivalents. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
