Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of hydrogen energy fuel cell processing, in particular to an airtightness detection machine. Background Art

[0002] Air tightness and insulation are two major safety indicators of hydrogen fuel cells. During the production of hydrogen fuel cells, air tightness testing is required. The air tightness test mainly includes hydrogen flow channel air tightness test and overall air tightness test.

[0003] When conducting the hydrogen flow channel air tightness test, if the working pressure of the hydrogen side of the fuel cell is ≥50kpa, the airtight pressure test pressure is set to 50kpa, if the working pressure of the hydrogen side of the fuel cell is between 30-50kpa, the airtight pressure test pressure is set to (30-50kpa), if the working pressure of the hydrogen side of the fuel cell is <30kpa, the airtight pressure test pressure is set to 30 kpa. The test process is: first close the hydrogen outlet, keep other inlets and outlets unobstructed, and pass helium-nitrogen mixed gas (helium concentration is not less than 10%) from the hydrogen inlet to stabilize the pressure to the set pressure. After the pressure stabilizes to the set pressure, close the hydrogen inlet, maintain the pressure for 20 minutes, and record the pressure drop value.

[0004] When conducting the overall air tightness test, close the hydrogen outlet, air outlet and coolant outlet, and introduce helium-nitrogen mixed gas (helium concentration not less than 10%) from the hydrogen inlet, air inlet and coolant inlet to stabilize the pressure to the normal working pressure. Then close the main air inlet, maintain the pressure for 20 minutes, and record the pressure drop value.

[0005] The airtightness test is generally achieved through a test machine, which includes a hydraulic press and an airtightness test module. The hydraulic press is a hydraulic press for airtightness test of bipolar plates for fuel cells disclosed in the existing patent announcement number CN218560348U, which includes a hydraulic press, and a loading and unloading device is provided on one side of the hydraulic press. The loading and unloading device includes a push-pull assembly and a jacking assembly driven by the push-pull assembly. The jacking assembly is provided with an adsorption assembly, and the adsorption assembly includes a loading suction cup and a unloading suction cup. The two sides of the hydraulic press are provided with a pushing assembly and a receiving assembly. The bipolar plate is adsorbed in the pushing assembly by the loading suction cup for loading with the cooperation of the push-pull assembly and the jacking assembly, while the unloading suction cup adsorbs the bipolar plate after testing to the receiving assembly for unloading. The adsorption assembly uses a rod and a suction cup arranged at the end of the rod.

[0029] The top seat 15 is located directly above the base 14, and the guide posts 16 are connected between the base 14 and the top seat 15. The guide posts 16 are distributed around the base 14. The first platform 11 is placed above the base 14 and is installed on the base 14 through a lifting cylinder 110. Figure 4 As shown, the first platform 11 is provided with a second linear guide rail 111, and the second platform 12 is slidably connected to the first platform 11 through the second linear guide rail 111. A slide cylinder 112 is connected between the second platform 12 and the first platform 11 for driving the second platform 12 to move laterally.

[0030] The third platform 13 is sleeved on the guide column 16. A pressure cylinder 113 is provided on the top seat 15, and the pressure cylinder 113 is connected to the third platform 13. The third platform 13 is driven to rise and fall by the extension and contraction of the pressure cylinder 113 to pressurize or release the fixture on the second platform 12.

[0031] A rod 18 is connected between the top seat 15 and the base 14, and two proximity switches 19 are arranged on the rod 18.
