[0002] The fuel cell manufacturing industry is one of the new industries of my country's national economy. With the rapid development of the national economy, the development scale and technical level of the domestic fuel cell manufacturing industry have been improved, and the requirements for the production of fuel cell stack parts have also increased. As we all know, the fuel cell stack is composed of a series of single chips in series. In the production process of battery stack parts, the gluing process of single chip components is indispensable. The stack single chip is composed of bipolar plates, membrane electrodes, anode and cathode gas diffusion layers, etc. Common fuel cell stacks will design sealant grooves on the bipolar plate components. This type of bipolar plate component is easier to glue, and only needs to apply the sealant in the groove. For air-cooled fuel cell stacks, in order to pursue high power density, the bipolar plates are welded or combined with lighter and thinner metal sheets and stamped sheets with parallel flow fields. There is no special sealant groove reserved, and the bipolar plates and membrane electrodes and gas diffusion layer components need to be positioned layer by layer through precise positioning. In the prior art, when making a single chip, these components need to be placed one by one on the glue-coated board and fixed by pressing blocks. However, misalignment and displacement are prone to occur during the gluing or transfer process, so the position of each component needs to be repeatedly adjusted, which seriously affects the gluing efficiency and quality and the quality of the prepared single chip, and ultimately affects the quality and performance of the battery stack.
