[0021] Please refer to Figure 1-2, A fuel cell PTC multi-functional combined bracket, including a mounting frame 1. The mounting frame 1 is U-shaped. There is a PTC mounting plate 2 inside the mounting frame 1, and an extension plate 3 is provided on the mounting frame 1. It highly integrates components such as PTC 11 and intercooler 8 in the fuel cell system. The U-shaped mounting frame 1 enables multi-components to overlap in height, solving the problem of insufficient installation space when multi-components are laid flat. It is especially suitable for small-power fuel cell systems and also reduces the manufacturing cost of the bracket.
[0022] There is a flanging plate 4 at the end of the side of the mounting frame 1. The flanging plate 4 provides a mounting point for the mounting frame 1, making the mounting frame 1 more firmly fixed.
[0023] There are mounting holes 5 on the side of the mounting frame 1. The mounting holes 5 are used for fixing water pipes 10, wire harnesses 12, etc.
[0024] The PTC mounting plate 2 is welded inside the mounting frame 1, enabling the PTC mounting plate 2 to overlap in the vertical direction, reducing the overall floor area. At the same time, welding can also improve the overall connection strength and reduce the risk of fracture.
[0025] There are side plates 6 connected to the mounting frame 1 on both sides of the PTC mounting plate 2, increasing the welding area and connection strength through the side plates 6.
[0026] There are kidney-shaped holes 7 on the PTC mounting plate 2. The PTC 11 is fixed on the PTC mounting plate 2 through the kidney-shaped holes 7.
[0027] There is an intercooler 8 on the extension plate 3. In this way, the intercooler 8 and PTC 11 can overlap on the same vertical plane, effectively reducing the overall floor area and solving the problem of insufficient installation space when laid flat.
[0028] There is a support plate 9 at the end of the extension plate 3. There is a water pipe 10 on the intercooler 8, and the water pipe 10 is placed on the support plate 9. The support plate 9 is used to support the water pipe 10, reducing the risk of fracture at the connection between the water pipe 10 and the intercooler 8.
[0029] There is a PTC 11 on the PTC mounting plate 2, and there is a wire harness 12 on the PTC 11. The wire harness 12 is fixed on the side of the mounting frame 1 for convenient installation.
