[0017] Please refer to Figures 1-10 The application provides a technical solution: a high-stability fuel cell stack module, comprising a lower end plate 1, a lower insulating plate 2, a battery stack module 3, an upper insulating plate 4, and an upper end plate 5. The lower end plate 1 is provided with the lower insulating plate 2 on the upper end face, the lower insulating plate 2 is in contact with the lower end face of the battery stack module 3, the upper end face of the battery stack module 3 is in contact with the upper insulating plate 4, and the upper end plate 5 is installed on the upper end face of the upper insulating plate 4. Positioning mechanism 6 is used to realize the clamping and fixing of the lower end plate 1, the lower insulation plate 2, the battery stack module 3, the upper insulation plate 4 and the upper end plate 5, and to place the lower end plate 1, the lower insulation plate 2, the battery stack module 3, the upper insulation plate 4 and the upper end plate 5 out of position, and two positioning mechanisms 6 are sleeved outside the lower end plate 1, the lower insulation plate 2, the battery stack module 3, the upper insulation plate 4 and the upper end plate 5; Air control mechanism 7 is used to realize the automatic control and distribution of reaction air and cooling air, and the air control mechanism 7 is installed on the upper end plate 5.

[0018] When using the high-stability fuel cell stack module, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , first, the lower end plate 1, the lower insulation plate 2, the battery stack module 3, the upper insulation plate 4 and the upper end plate 5 are stacked and assembled from bottom to top, and after assembly, the positioning mechanism 6 is used to realize the installation and fixation of the whole device by cooperating with the upper side slot of the lower end plate 1, the lower insulation plate 2, the battery stack module 3, the upper insulation plate 4 and the upper end plate 5. The positioning mechanism 6 includes a U-shaped hoop 601 sleeved outside the lower end plate 1, the lower insulation plate 2, the battery stack module 3, the upper insulation plate 4 and the upper end plate 5, and a rubber pad 602 is fixed on the U-shaped hoop 601, and a vertical rod 603 is symmetrically and slidingly connected on the U-shaped hoop 601, and a spring 604 is fixed between the vertical rod 603 and the U-shaped hoop 601; The vertical rod 603 is uniformly provided with a reverse V-shaped groove 605, and the reverse V-shaped groove 605 is slidingly connected with a sliding rod 606, and the sliding rod 606 is fixed on a top plate 607 at equal intervals, and the top plate 607 is slidingly connected with the U-shaped hoop 601, and the top plate 607 is in contact with the lower end plate 1, the lower insulation plate 2, the battery stack module 3, the upper insulation plate 4 and the upper end plate 5 to realize the positioning function; When locking the device, as shown in Figure 1 , Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, firstly, the two U-shaped clamps 601 are fitted into the side slots of the lower end plate 1, lower insulating plate 2, battery stack module 3, upper insulating plate 4, and upper end plate 5, and then locked with bolts. When the U-shaped clamps 601 are fitted into the side slots of the lower end plate 1, lower insulating plate 2, battery stack module 3, upper insulating plate 4, and upper end plate 5, the top plate 607 is retracted within the U-shaped clamps 601, making the width of the U-shaped clamps 601 less than... The slot width facilitates the installation of the U-shaped clamp 601. During the locking process of the two U-shaped clamps 601 with bolts, when the top plates 607 on the upper and lower U-shaped clamps 601 contact, the bolt locking action causes the top plates 607 to slide inwards into the U-shaped clamps 601, and the spring 604 contracts under force. Combined with the sliding action between the inverted V-shaped groove 605 and the slide rod 606, the top plates 607 slide outwards from the U-shaped clamps 601. Furthermore, at this time, the distance between the upper and lower U-shaped clamps 601 decreases synchronously. When the rubber pad 602 on the upper U-shaped clamp 601 contacts the upper end plate 5 and the rubber pad 602 on the lower U-shaped clamp 601 contacts the lower end plate 1, the top plate 607 does not contact the side wall of the slot. By continuing to tighten the bolts, the rubber pad 602 contracts under its own elasticity and exerts pressure on the lower end plate 1 or the upper end plate 5 until the top plate 607 contacts the side wall of the slot to achieve positioning, thereby completing the locking function of the entire device. The U-shaped clamps 601 can achieve the peripheral clamping function of the device. Through the pressing action of the top plate 607 against the side wall of the slot, the left and right limiting functions of the lower end plate 1, the lower insulating plate 2, the battery stack module 3, the upper insulating plate 4, and the upper end plate 5 can be achieved, thereby effectively avoiding misalignment between the lower end plate 1, the lower insulating plate 2, the battery stack module 3, the upper insulating plate 4, and the upper end plate 5, ensuring the stable operation of the subsequent device. The battery stack module 3 includes a bipolar plate 301 in contact with the lower insulating plate 2. A cooling channel 302 is formed within the bipolar plate 301, and an air channel 303 is formed on the inner side of the cathode surface of the bipolar plate 301. Simultaneously, a hydrogen flow channel 304 is formed on the inner side of the anode surface of the bipolar plate 301. The air channel 303 and the hydrogen flow channel 304 communicate with a shunt port 305 uniformly formed on the bipolar plate 301. A support rod 306 is fixed at equal angles within the shunt port 305. 306 is fixed to the conical splitter plate 307, and the conical splitter plate 307 and the splitter port 305 are distributed in a one-to-one correspondence; sealing plates 308 are installed between the bipolar plate 301 and the membrane electrode 309, and catalyst layers 310 are symmetrically arranged on the membrane electrode 309; a temperature sensor 501 is installed in the middle opening on the left side of the upper end plate 5, and a hydrogen connector 502 is installed at the rear opening on the left side of the upper end plate 5; the air control mechanism 7 includes components fixed to the upper end plate. 5. A diverter box 701 is located on the upper right side, and a partition 702 is fixed inside the diverter box 701. A first air inlet 703 is installed on the rear side of the diverter box 701, and a first solenoid valve 704 is fixed on the first air inlet 703. A second air inlet 705 is installed on the front side of the diverter box 701, and a second solenoid valve 706 is installed on the second air inlet 705. A miniature electric cylinder 707 is fixed inside the diverter box 701, and a mounting plate is fixed at the output end of the miniature electric cylinder 707. The mounting plate 708 has a lower baffle 709 fixed at its lower end. The mounting plate 708 is rotatably connected to one end of the connecting rod 710, and the other end of the connecting rod 710 is rotatably connected to the side baffle 711. A guide rod 712 is fixed on the side baffle 711, and the guide rod 712 is slidably connected to the partition 702. The side baffle 711 cooperates with the exhaust one-way valve 713 to achieve sealing, and the exhaust one-way valve 713 is installed on the partition 702. After the device is assembled, such as Figures 1-10 As shown, the device operates in several ways: During low-power operation: Hydrogen is introduced through a hydrogen delivery pump and conduit via hydrogen connector 502. The hydrogen then enters the hydrogen flow channel 304 through the upper end plate 5, upper insulating plate 4, and the rear opening on the bipolar plate 301, and exits through the diverter port 305 to contact the catalyst layer 310. The diversion effect of the conical diverter plate 307 further disperses the hydrogen, ensuring uniform contact between the hydrogen and the catalyst layer 310, thereby generating protons and electrons. Electrons flow through the external circuit to the cathode of the bipolar plate 301, generating direct current. At this time, the second solenoid valve 706 opens, and the first solenoid valve 704 closes. Air enters the diverter box 701 through the first air delivery pump, conduit, second air inlet 705, and second solenoid valve 706. Simultaneously, the micro-cylinder 707 retracts a certain distance according to the power, causing the mounting plate 708 to move under force, thereby driving the lower baffle 709. The lower baffle 709 moves to block the rear opening of the distribution box 701, thereby controlling the airflow in the cooling channel 302. When the mounting plate 708 moves, the connecting rod 710 moves the side baffle 711, releasing the partial obstruction of the outlet check valve 713. This allows some air to enter the front space of the distribution box 701 and then enter the air channel 303 through the pipe. The air in the air channel 303 is discharged to the cathode side of the bipolar plate 301 through the distribution port 305. With the diversion effect of the conical distribution plate 307, the air can be evenly dispersed. At this time, electrons combine with oxygen in the air at the cathode position to produce water. The air entering the cooling channel 302 can also dissipate heat from the device, ensuring its normal operation. At this time, the airflow in the air channel 303 is less than the airflow in the cooling channel 302. When operating at half the rated power: Hydrogen is introduced through a hydrogen delivery pump and conduit via hydrogen connector 502. At this time, hydrogen enters the hydrogen flow channel 304 through the upper end plate 5, upper insulating plate 4, and the rear opening on the bipolar plate 301, and exits through the diversion port 305, contacting the catalyst layer 310. Combined with the diversion effect of the conical diversion plate 307, hydrogen dispersion is further achieved, ensuring uniform contact between hydrogen and the catalyst layer 310, thereby generating protons and electrons. Electrons flow to the cathode of the bipolar plate 301 through the external circuit, generating direct current. Meanwhile, the second solenoid valve 706 opens, and the first... When the solenoid valve 704 is closed, air enters the distribution box 701 through the first air delivery pump, the conduit, the second air inlet 705, and the second solenoid valve 706. At this time, the micro electric cylinder 707 retracts a certain distance according to the power, causing the mounting plate 708 to move under force, thereby driving the lower baffle 709 to move. This causes the lower baffle 709 to block half of the rear opening of the distribution box 701. At this time, the side baffle 711 opens half of the outlet check valve 713. That is, at this time, the air flow rate in the air channel 303 is equal to the air flow rate in the cooling channel 302, so as to ensure the normal operation and heat dissipation of the device. When operating at more than half of its rated power: Hydrogen is introduced through a hydrogen delivery pump and conduit via hydrogen connector 502. The hydrogen then enters the hydrogen flow channel 304 through the upper end plate 5, upper insulating plate 4, and the rear opening of the bipolar plate 301, and exits through the diverter port 305, contacting the catalyst layer 310. Combined with the diversion effect of the conical diverter plate 307, this further disperses the hydrogen, ensuring uniform contact between the hydrogen and the catalyst layer 310, thereby generating protons and electrons. The electrons flow through the external circuit to the cathode of the bipolar plate 301, generating direct current. At this time, the second solenoid valve 706 opens, and the first solenoid valve 704 opens. The micro-cylinder 707 extends to its maximum position, completely releasing the lower baffle 709 from obstructing the rear opening of the diverter box 701. Simultaneously, the side baffle 711 completely covers the outlet check valve 713. The system ensures that all air entering the distribution box 701 through the first air delivery pump, conduit, second air inlet 705, and second solenoid valve 706 is directed into the cooling channel 302 for heat dissipation. Meanwhile, air entering the distribution box 701 through the first air delivery pump, conduit, first air inlet 703, and first solenoid valve 704 is directed into the air channel 303 for reaction. This ensures stable operation and heat dissipation of the device. Furthermore, the air used for reaction is completely isolated from the heat dissipation air pipeline, achieving decoupling control between the reaction air and the heat dissipation air. This avoids the introduction of excessive dry air for heat dissipation, greatly helping to maintain a high humidity on the cathode side. This creates excellent conditions for the reverse diffusion of water, enabling efficient self-humidification and ensuring that the membrane electrode 309 is fully wetted. This effectively reduces the proton conduction resistance, thereby effectively improving battery performance.
