DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] In order to further understand the features, technical means and achieved specific purposes and functions of the present application, the present application is described in further detail below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0033] Reference is made to Figures 1 to 10The application discloses a sleeve type annular cathode open air-cooled hydrogen fuel cell for cooling a hydrogen fuel cell stack, which comprises a rack 1, an air-cooled module 2 vertically arranged on the rack 1, the air-cooled module 2 comprising an inner cooling bin 21 and an outer cooling bin 22 coaxially arranged outside the inner cooling bin 21, a wind cavity 23 capable of conducting a wind source being formed between the inner cooling bin 21 and the outer cooling bin 22, the hydrogen fuel cell stack being vertically arranged in the inner cooling bin 21, the inner cooling bin 21 being a hollow and two-end-open rectangular shell and a side wall of the inner cooling bin 21 being provided with a through hole for conducting the wind source to the hydrogen fuel cell stack, the outer cooling bin 22 being a hollow and two-end-open rectangular shell, an air suction module 3 vertically arranged at a middle part of the inner cooling bin 21 for sucking the wind source at the middle part of the hydrogen fuel cell stack, and an air supply module 4 vertically and slidably arranged in the wind cavity 23, the air supply module 4 comprising an upper limiting unit 41 and a lower limiting unit 42 slidably arranged in the wind cavity 23 and capable of dynamically compressing and guiding the wind source in the wind cavity 23, the air supply module 4 further comprising two traction units 43 capable of dynamically pulling the upper limiting unit 41 and the lower limiting unit 42 towards two ends of the outer cooling bin 22 respectively and a locking unit 44 capable of dynamically locking sliding strokes of the upper limiting unit 41 and the lower limiting unit 42 respectively.

[0034] The hydrogen fuel cell is arranged on an inner wall of the inner cooling bin 21 and between the inner cooling bin 21 and the air suction module 3.

[0035] When the hydrogen fuel cell stack needs to be cooled, an external power source is connected to drive the air supply module 4 to work, the air supply module 4 continuously inputs a stable wind source into the wind cavity 23 arranged at the periphery of the hydrogen fuel cell stack, so as to form an air flow field from outside to inside. The air flow can promote the heat generated in the working process of the hydrogen fuel cell stack to be conducted in a transverse direction and gradually gathered, and finally the generated heat energy is efficiently discharged from two ends of the air-cooled module 2 by the air suction module 3, so as to realize the active cooling effect of the hydrogen fuel cell stack. By adopting the cooling mode from outside to inside, compared with the traditional cooling mode from inside to outside, the heat dissipation concentration and efficiency can be significantly improved, and the secondary heat accumulation in the heat dissipation process can be effectively reduced, so as to avoid the problem that the temperature of surrounding equipment is increased due to heat overflow in the heat dissipation process.

[0036] Further, when the monitoring module (which is used to monitor the working temperature of each section of the hydrogen fuel cell stack in real time, which is the prior art and will not be described here) detects that a certain area of the hydrogen fuel cell stack has a local high temperature and there is a risk of overheating, the system can automatically drive the upper limit unit 41 and the lower limit unit 42 to slide towards each other in the air cavity 23, thereby dynamically adjusting the air flow path of the air cavity 23 to the corresponding high temperature section, achieving spot air supply and strengthening cooling of the local area. When the cooling effect reaches the preset temperature threshold and the high temperature warning is removed, the upper limit unit 41 and the lower limit unit 42 are restored to the normal position under synchronous action, respectively close to the top and bottom of the outer cooling bin 22, thereby lengthening the overall air inlet stroke of the air cavity 23 and maintaining the normal air supply cooling effect of the battery stack.

[0037] In the above manner, not only can the hydrogen fuel cell stack be actively and efficiently cooled, but also targeted cooling can be provided under local overheating conditions, improving the intelligence and accuracy of cooling. Thus, the technical problems of battery performance degradation and membrane electrode assembly accelerated aging caused by uneven cooling are effectively avoided.

[0038] The two traction units 43 are fixedly arranged at the top and bottom of the outer cooling bin 22 and the limiting ends are arranged towards the outer cooling bin 22.

[0039] The locking unit 44 is provided with two groups, and the two groups of locking units 44 are arranged in a vertical state on the two sides of the outer cooling bin 22, for dynamically locking the sliding stroke of the upper limit unit 41 and the lower limit unit 42.

[0040] In the non-working state, the upper limit unit 41 and the lower limit unit 42 are respectively positioned near the top and bottom of the outer cooling bin 22 under the action of the two traction units 43, so that they are in a stable initial state. Not only can the position of the upper limit unit 41 and the lower limit unit 42 be effectively limited in the non-working state to avoid abnormal structure of the air cavity 23 caused by loosening or deviation, but also the upper limit unit 41 and the lower limit unit 42 can be quickly restored to the initial state under the elastic resetting action of the traction unit 43 after completing the local limiting adjustment, achieving efficient resetting of the upper limit unit 41 and the lower limit unit 42.

[0041] Further, when it is necessary to efficiently exchange the air source in the air cavity 23, the lower limit unit 42 is driven to slide back and forth in the air cavity 23 at high speed, which can achieve the effect of efficiently pumping and exchanging the air source in the air cavity 23.

[0042] In addition, the locking unit 44 is used to longitudinally lock the upper and lower limit units 41 and 42 in the adjusting position when local high temperature occurs during the operation of the hydrogen fuel cell stack and targeted cooling is needed, so that the local cooling airflow can be kept in a stable position within the preset limit section, ensuring the pinpoint effect of the local cooling airflow.

[0043] The limit unit 42 has good initial limiting and automatic resetting functions in the non-working state, and can cooperate with the locking unit 44 to realize accurate locking and stable control of the local cooling channel in the working state, so as to ensure the long-term stable operation of the hydrogen fuel cell stack heat dissipation structure, and realize local efficient cooling and dynamic controllability of the overall air cavity 23 structure.

[0044] Referring to Figure 10 As shown in the figure: the traction unit 43 includes a tension spring 431 capable of always pulling the upper limit unit 41 and a mounting bin 432 capable of keeping the traction end of the tension spring 431 in the non-working state flush with the top of the outer cooling bin 22; the tension spring 431 is vertically fixed to the top of the outer cooling bin 22 through the mounting bin 432, and the traction end of the tension spring 431 is movably connected with the upper surface of the upper limit unit 41.

[0045] By installing the tension spring 431 through the mounting bin 432, the upper limit unit 41 can be pulled to a position flush with the top of the outer cooling bin 22 by the retraction force of the tension spring 431 in the non-working state, so as to ensure that the upper limit unit 41 remains stable in the resting state. In order to ensure the stability of the traction force, the mounting bin 432 and the tension spring 431 are both arranged in at least two symmetrical groups, so that the tension spring 431 can act on both sides of the upper limit unit 41 at the same time, thereby realizing bidirectional balanced traction. Through this symmetrical distribution, it can effectively prevent the upper limit unit 41 from tilting or jamming during resetting, and ensure its linearity and stability in longitudinal movement.

[0046] Referring to Figure 7 As shown in the figure: the locking unit 44 includes a mounting frame 441, an electromagnet 442 and a controller 443; the mounting frame 441 is centrally arranged in a vertical state on the side wall of the outer cooling bin 22; the electromagnet 442 is embeddedly installed on the mounting frame 441 and is equidistantly arranged along the long edge direction of the mounting frame 441; the controller 443 is fixedly arranged on the mounting frame 441 and is arranged close to the top of the mounting frame 441. Among them, the controller 443 is electrically connected with the detection module to control the opening and closing of the electromagnet 442.

[0047] When it is necessary to accurately limit the longitudinal adjustment height of the upper limiting unit 41 and the lower limiting unit 42, first, the position and range of the local high-temperature section are determined according to the hydrogen fuel cell stack temperature distribution data collected by the monitoring module in real time; then the controller 443 selectively opens the electromagnet 442 at the corresponding position according to the detection result, so that it is in the energized working state. In this process, when the upper limiting unit 41 and the lower limiting unit 42 are gradually moved towards the high-temperature section under the drive, and when they are moved to the preset position and contact the corresponding electromagnet 442, the electromagnet 442 immediately magnetically adsorbs the upper limiting unit 41 and the lower limiting unit 42, thereby realizing the stable locking of the position. In this way, the upper limiting unit 41 and the lower limiting unit 42 can be reliably fixed at the required position under the action of electromagnetic adsorption, and the two form a local air cavity 23 with a short stroke and corresponding to the high-temperature section in the longitudinal direction, so that the air source is concentrated on the high-temperature section of the battery stack to realize efficient, directional and continuous forced air cooling.

[0048] Referring to Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the top and bottom of the outer cooling bin 22 are also provided with a first air guide nozzle 221 and a second air guide nozzle 222, respectively, which can guide the air source into the air cavity 23.

[0049] When it is necessary to longitudinally slide and adjust the upper limiting unit 41 and the lower limiting unit 42 in the air cavity 23, first, the external air source is connected and the first air guide nozzle 221 and the second air guide nozzle 222 are respectively guided to direct the airflow into the air cavity 23. At this time, the air source entering the air cavity 23 forms a push field from top to bottom and from bottom to top under the action of air pressure, which respectively acts on the upper limiting unit 41 and the lower limiting unit 42, so that they move along the longitudinal trajectory in the opposite direction without mechanical contact intervention. By adjusting the air pressure size and air supply duration of the first air guide nozzle 221 and the second air guide nozzle 222, the sliding speed and stopping position of the upper limiting unit 41 and the lower limiting unit 42 can be flexibly controlled, so as to realize the dynamic adjustment of the longitudinal section of the air cavity 23 and ensure that the local high-temperature section can be enclosed and accurately cooled in the shortest time. Correspondingly, when the upper limiting unit 41 and the lower limiting unit 42 do not need to slide, at this time, only the air supply needs to be stopped, and the upper limiting unit 41 and the lower limiting unit 42 will quickly reset to the initial state under the traction of the traction unit 43.

[0050] Referring to Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown in the figure, the lower limiting unit 42 is composed of a first floating ring 421, a first sealing ring 422 arranged around the outside of the first floating ring 421, and a first magnetic attraction part 423 arranged vertically opposite to the two sides of the first floating ring 421.

[0051] The first floating ring 421 is matched with the shape of the air cavity 23 and is sealed with the sealing ring arranged on the outer wall, so that when the first air guide nozzle 221 is in the input air source, the lower limiting unit 42 can slide in the air cavity 23 under the driving of the air source; the first magnetic attraction part 423 fixed on both sides of the first floating ring 421 is used to lock with the locking unit 44, so as to realize the purpose of locking the lower limiting unit 42 sliding to the corresponding height on the preset height through the locking unit 44.

[0052] The upper limiting unit 41 is composed of a second floating frame 411, a second sealing ring 412 arranged around the outer of the second floating frame 411, and a second magnetic attraction part 413 arranged vertically on both sides of the second floating frame 411.

[0053] Referring to Figure 8 As shown in the figure, the first floating ring 421 is also provided with a gas guide hole 4211.

[0054] The gas guide hole 4211 is communicated with the external air source through the gas supply pipeline, which is used to provide stable air source input for the air cavity 23 in different working states. In the normal cooling state, the external air source is continuously input into the air cavity 23 through the gas guide hole 4211, forming a constant cooling air flow, so as to ensure that the hydrogen fuel cell stack can maintain balanced heat dissipation under normal operating conditions. Further, when the longitudinal position of the upper limiting unit 41 and the lower limiting unit 42 needs to be adjusted, the first air guide nozzle 221 and the second air guide nozzle 222 are opened synchronously, and the external air source is injected into the air cavity 23 in the form of directional air flow. At this time, the directional air flow acts on the upper limiting unit 41 and the lower limiting unit 42 respectively, and pushes them to slide along the guide structure in the longitudinal direction, so as to complete the position adjustment without mechanical driving. By adjusting the gas supply pressure and flow, the moving speed and the stopping position of the upper and lower limiting units 42 can be flexibly controlled, and the rapid dynamic adjustment of the local cooling section of the air cavity 23 can be realized.

[0055] Referring to Figure 6 As shown in the figure, the air suction module 3 includes a conduction bin 31 capable of longitudinally guiding the air source and a first air suction device 32 and a second air suction device 33 capable of guiding the air source in the conduction bin 31 out of both ends of the conduction bin 31 respectively; wherein the first air suction device 32 is fixedly arranged at the top of the conduction bin 31; the second air suction device 33 is fixedly arranged at the bottom of the conduction bin 31 relative to the first air suction device 32. The conduction bin 31 is a hollow rectangular shell with both ends open, and a plurality of groups of through holes for air source conduction are also equally arranged on the side wall of the conduction bin 31.

[0056] When the hydrogen fuel cell stack is cooled by the air supply module 4, the heat generated by the stack during operation gradually spreads to the interior of the stack body and, under the continuous cooling effect, is guided to the middle region of the stack and finally converges to the conduction bin 31. In order to timely export the heat source accumulated in the conduction bin 31, when the cooling demand is enhanced, the first air suction device 32 and the second air suction device 33 are synchronously or alternately actuated under the driving instruction of the control system to form a directional negative pressure suction air flow from one end of the conduction bin 31, rapidly discharge the high-temperature gas, and establish a stable circulating air flow path. The present application not only can efficiently cool the hydrogen fuel cell stack but also can dynamically adjust the heat dissipation section, and the heat dissipation efficiency is high.

[0057] The above embodiments only express one or several embodiments of the present application, and the description is more specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as the limitation of the scope of the present application. It should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, several modifications and improvements can be made, which belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the appended claims.
