[0002] The existing fuel cell buses using hydrogen as energy have a compact rear compartment space, but the radiator of the fuel cell is large, so the radiator is usually arranged on the roof of the vehicle in the prior art.

[0003] In order to solve the problem of poor sealing of the whole vehicle due to the large number of connecting pipes of the fuel cell radiator and the need to open many holes on the roof. The Chinese patent document with the announcement number CN212979862U discloses a transition device for the cooling pipes of the roof and the rear cabin of a fuel cell bus, including a mounting plate and a plurality of pipe joints vertically bonded to the mounting plate by sealants. Although the above-mentioned transition device can avoid the problems of water leakage and pipe wear caused by the pipes directly passing through the roof skin, the sealant is not heat-resistant and cold-resistant. Only by using sealants to bond the pipe joints to the perforated inner wall of the mounting plate, the reliability of the connection between the pipe joints and the mounting plate cannot be ensured, and the problem of poor sealing of the whole vehicle caused by the loosening of the pipe joints may occur.

[0004] Therefore, the prior art still needs to be improved and developed. Utility Model Content

[0008] Furthermore, the mounting plate is provided with a plurality of through holes suitable for the pipe joints to pass through; a second sealing adhesive layer is filled between the inner walls of the through holes and the pipe joints.

[0009] Furthermore, the mounting plate is riveted to the roof skin via a plurality of second rivets.

[0010] Furthermore, a third sealant layer is filled between the mounting plate and the roof skin.

[0011] Furthermore, the pipe joints include at least two main water pipe joints, at least one water supply pipe joint and at least two degassing pipe joints.

[0012] Furthermore, the pipeline connection structure of the fuel cell cooling system also includes a throat clamp; the throat clamp is used to fix the main water pipe, the water supply pipe and the degassing pipe on the corresponding pipe joints.

[0013] Furthermore, the first sealant layer and the second sealant layer are both glass glue layers.

[0014] Furthermore, the third sealing adhesive layer is a glass adhesive layer.

[0015] The utility model also provides a fuel cell vehicle, comprising the pipeline connection structure of the fuel cell cooling system.

[0016] Beneficial effects:

[0023] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model clearer and more specific, the utility model is further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the utility model and are not used to limit the utility model.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the utility model provides a pipeline connection structure of a fuel cell cooling system, including a mounting plate 1 and a plurality of pipe joints.

[0025] Wherein, the mounting plate 1 is mounted on the upper part of the roof skin 6. A plurality of the pipe joints are vertically penetrated on the mounting plate 1. In order to firmly mount the pipe joint on the mounting plate 1, an annular flange connection portion 5 is fixedly provided on the outer wall of the pipe joint (the flange connection portion 5 can be welded to the outer wall of the pipe joint by welding). The flange connection portion 5 is located above the mounting plate 1, and the flange connection portion 5 is riveted to the mounting plate 1 through a plurality of first rivets 9. Since riveting has the advantage of making the structural connection more reliable, the flange connection portion 5 is provided on the outer wall of the pipe joint, and the flange connection portion 5 is riveted to the mounting plate 1, which can further improve the connection stability between the pipe joint and the mounting plate 1, so that the pipe joint is not easy to loosen, and there will be no problem of poor sealing of the whole vehicle caused by the loosening of the pipe joint.

[0026] Furthermore, a first sealant layer (not shown in the drawings) is filled between the mounting plate 1 and the flange connection portion 5. By filling the gap between the mounting plate 1 and the flange connection portion 5 with the first sealant layer, the sealing of the vehicle can be further enhanced to prevent water leakage.

[0027] Furthermore, the mounting plate 1 is provided with a plurality of through holes suitable for the pipe joint to pass through; a second sealant layer (not shown in the drawings) is filled between the inner wall of the through hole and the pipe joint. The second sealant layer itself can play a role in bonding the pipe joint and the inner wall of the through hole, and combined with the riveting of the flange connection part 5 and the mounting plate 1, the connection stability between the pipe joint and the mounting plate 1 is further improved.

[0028] Furthermore, the mounting plate 1 is riveted to the roof skin 6 by a plurality of second rivets 7. Compared with the conventional method in which the mounting plate 1 is bonded to the roof skin 6 by a sealant, when the mounting plate 1 is riveted to the roof skin 6 by the second rivets 7, the connection between the mounting plate 1 and the roof skin 6 is more reliable and will not be loosened, thereby further improving the sealing performance of the entire vehicle.

[0029] Furthermore, a third sealant layer (not shown in the drawings) is filled between the mounting plate 1 and the roof skin 6. The third sealant layer is an existing setting, and the third sealant layer is retained so that it can cooperate with the second rivet 7 in the riveting manner during the service life, so that the connection stability between the mounting plate 1 and the roof skin 6 is further improved.

[0030] Furthermore, the pipe joints include at least two main water pipe joints 2, at least one water supply pipe joint 3 and at least two degassing pipe joints 4. The pipeline connection structure of the fuel cell cooling system also includes a throat clamp 8; the throat clamp 8 is used to fix the main water pipe, the water supply pipe and the degassing pipe on the corresponding pipe joints.

[0031] When the main water pipe, water supply pipe and degassing pipe need to be replaced, it is only necessary to loosen the throat clamp 8 to separate the pipeline from the pipe joint. There is no need to remove the pipeline connection structure provided by the utility model from the roof skin 6, so the replacement of the pipeline saves time and effort.

[0032] Furthermore, the first sealant layer, the second sealant layer and the third sealant layer can all be glass glue layers. Glass glue has a longer service life than other types of sealants and can play a role in preventing water leakage for a long time.

[0033] The utility model also provides a fuel cell vehicle, comprising the pipeline connection structure of the fuel cell cooling system.

[0034] To sum up, the utility model can further improve the connection stability between the pipe joint and the mounting plate by arranging a flange connection portion riveted to the mounting plate on the outer wall of the pipe joint, so that the pipe joint is not easy to loosen, and the problem of poor sealing of the whole vehicle caused by loose pipe joint will not occur.

[0035] It should be understood that the application of the present invention is not limited to the above examples. For ordinary technicians in this field, improvements or changes can be made according to the above description. All these improvements and changes should fall within the scope of protection of the claims attached to the present invention.
