[0029] In order to more clearly describe the technical content of the present invention, further description is given below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0030] The single-cell airtight flow resistance testing tooling device of the utility model comprises an upper tooling module, an upper tooling module, a sealing ring, and a plurality of product limit blocks. The sealing ring is installed between the upper tooling module and the lower tooling module, the plurality of product limit blocks are installed on the inner side of the lower tooling module, and the plurality of product limit blocks surround the outside of the sealing ring and limit the sealing ring.

[0031] As a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, the sealing ring comprises an upper sealing ring and a lower sealing ring, and the upper sealing ring is embedded and installed on the inner side of the upper tooling module.

[0032] As a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, the lower sealing ring is embedded and installed on the inner side of the lower tooling module, and the upper sealing ring and the lower sealing ring are installed and connected by interference fit.

[0033] As a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, an upper tooling groove is provided on the inner side of the upper tooling module, and the upper sealing ring is installed in the upper tooling groove.

[0034] As a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, the surface of the sealing ring has frosted pattern and peeling abrasive.

[0035] As a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, the device further comprises a hydrogen cavity hole, a water cavity hole and a cavity hole, and the hydrogen cavity hole, the water cavity hole and the cavity hole are all arranged on the upper surface of the upper tooling module.

[0036] With the rapid development of the fuel cell industry, the requirements for single-cell detection and positioning are becoming increasingly higher, so a convenient installation sealing ring has been developed. The upper and lower sealing rings are used to tighten the bipolar plate or membrane electrode to accurately detect the airtightness of the membrane electrode and bipolar plate.

[0037] In the specific implementation of the utility model, the technical solution includes two parts: a lower tooling module and an upper tooling module.

[0038] The installation process of the utility model is as follows:

[0039] Step 1: The sealing ring is installed in the upper tooling groove (the sealing ring is wider than the groove edge) and is inserted through interference fit to facilitate installation and changeover.

[0040] Step 2: The frosted pattern on the sealing ring surface removes abrasive materials to prevent material from being carried.

[0041] Step 3: If the sealing ring is damaged, it is designed to be easily replaced.

[0042] Conventional sealing rings are generally bonded on one side with glue, which makes it inconvenient to clean after changing the shape, and is more likely to contaminate the product to be tested and cause product damage. The utility model is easy to disassemble and assemble for changing the shape. The sealing strip and the tooling of the utility model are inserted into each other through interference fit, which is convenient for disassembly and replacement.

[0043] Compared with other double-peak seals, the utility model has a better sealing effect with frosted patterns on the surface. The frosted patterns of the utility model make the contact area larger and the sealing effect better, and have an anti-sticking function, which is not available in other conventional double-peak seals.

[0044] The sealing ring of the utility model is thicker and not easy to be damaged. The sealing ring is embedded in the tooling and is more solid and durable than the conventional sealing ring, which is relatively thin and easy to be damaged.

[0045] Most conventional sealing ring designs are only for reducing costs, and are often insufficient in terms of convenient disassembly and assembly. The utility model is not only low in cost but also easy to disassemble and replace.

[0046] The specific implementation scheme of this embodiment can refer to the relevant description in the above embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

[0047] It can be understood that the same or similar parts of the above embodiments can be referenced to each other, and the contents not described in detail in some embodiments can refer to the same or similar contents in other embodiments.

[0048] It should be noted that, in the description of the present invention, the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance. In addition, in the description of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, the meaning of "plurality" refers to at least two.

[0049] In the description of this specification, the description with reference to the terms "one embodiment", "some embodiments", "example", "specific example", or "some examples" means that the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described in conjunction with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the utility model. In this specification, the schematic representation of the above terms does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described can be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner.

[0050] The utility model adopts the single-cell airtight flow resistance test fixture device, which is convenient for changing the type by adopting the design that the width of the sealing ring is slightly wider than the width of the groove and the installation method of interference fit. The frosted pattern design on the surface of the sealing ring plays an anti-slip sealing role. The sealing ring is easy to disassemble and assemble.

[0051] In this specification, the utility model has been described with reference to its specific embodiments. However, it is obvious that various modifications and changes can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model. Therefore, the description and drawings should be regarded as illustrative rather than restrictive.
