[0001] The utility model relates to the field of fuel cells, in particular to a connecting device for stack testing.

Background Art

[0002] In order to ensure the manufacturing quality of fuel cells, the fuel cell stack needs to be connected to a test bench for stack activation testing and performance testing after manufacturing. To improve the test efficiency and reduce the connection time between the fuel cell and the test equipment, a quick connection device is generally used. Referring to the existing literature (Patent Application No. 202120638662.7), it discloses a quick connection device for stack testing, including a test equipment. A first hydrogen, air, and cooling water inlet and outlet pipe fitting is fixedly connected to the front end of the test equipment. A connection mechanism is fixedly installed at the front end of the first hydrogen, air, and cooling water inlet and outlet pipe fitting. A guide rail is arranged below the front of the test equipment. A baffle is fixedly connected to the rear end of the guide rail. A locking hole is formed in the middle of the guide rail. A quick connection device is arranged on the front side of the guide rail. A second hydrogen, air, and cooling water inlet and outlet pipe fitting is fixedly connected to the rear end of the quick connection device. A rubber tube is fixedly connected to the rear end of the second hydrogen, air, and cooling water inlet and outlet pipe fitting. A fuel cell is arranged at the upper end of the quick connection device. A fixing rod is fixedly connected to the lower end of the quick connection device. A roller is fixedly installed at the lower end of the fixing rod. A fixator is arranged above the roller at the lower front side of the fixing rod. The defects of this kind of quick connection device are as follows: 1. The quick connection device is connected to the stack by a rubber tube, which greatly increases the connection time and reduces the work efficiency; 2. The first hydrogen, air, and cooling water inlet and outlet pipe fitting on the test equipment is connected to the second hydrogen, air, and cooling water inlet and outlet pipe fitting on the quick connection device by a clamp.

[0026] The working principle of the self-sealing quick-connect fitting is as follows: When the first interface assembly 70 and the second interface assembly 71 are docked, the ball 705 of the first interface assembly 70 is held in the card slot 7111 of the second interface assembly 71 to achieve the locking between the two. The first pair of tops 7022 of the first interface assembly 70 and the second pair of tops 7122 of the second interface assembly 71 abut against each other, and the first spring 703 is compressed, so that a first cooling water flow gap 72 is formed between the second sealing mating portion 7011 of the first core body 701 and the first sealing mating portion 7021 of the first sealing plug 702. The third spring 713 is compressed, so that a second cooling water flow gap 73 is formed between the fourth sealing mating portion 7110 of the second core body 711 and the third sealing mating portion 7121 of the second sealing plug 712. Cooling water enters from within the first interface main body portion 700, then passes through a number of first through holes in the first spring abutting portion 7020, then passes through the first cooling water flow gap 72 and the second cooling water flow gap 73, then passes through a number of second through holes in the second spring abutting portion 7120, and finally reaches within the second interface main body portion 710 and flows out from within the second interface main body portion 710. When it is necessary to disconnect the first interface assembly 70 and the second interface assembly 71, the lock sleeve 706 is moved to the right, and the second spring 707 is compressed. A space 74 is formed between the lock sleeve 706 and the first core body 701 for the ball to move in a direction away from the card slot (i.e., away from the center of the circle). Then, the second interface assembly 71 is pulled out to the left. During the pulling-out process, the ball 705 is pushed into the space 74 formed between the lock sleeve 706 and the first core body 701, and the ball 705 is disengaged from the card slot 7111 to release the lock. When the first interface assembly 70 and the second interface assembly 71 are disconnected, the second sealing mating portion 7011 of the first core body 701 and the first sealing mating portion 7021 of the first sealing plug 702 are closely fitted to achieve sealing. The sealing surface formed by the second sealing mating portion 7011 of the first core body 701 and the first sealing mating portion 7021 of the first sealing plug 702 is a conical surface. The fourth sealing mating portion 7110 of the second core body 711 and the third sealing mating portion 7121 of the second sealing plug 712 are closely fitted to achieve sealing. The sealing surface formed by the fourth sealing mating portion 7110 of the second core body 711 and the third sealing mating portion 7121 of the second sealing plug 712 is a conical surface, so that the water remaining in the first interface assembly 70 is sealed within the first interface assembly 70, and the water remaining in the second interface assembly 71 is sealed within the second interface assembly 71, preventing it from flowing onto the ground.

[0027] A plurality of toggle mechanisms 4 are arranged around the base 30. The toggle mechanism 4 includes: a support 40, a pull rod 41, a connecting rod 42, an adjusting bolt 43, a handle 44 and a stack end plate pressing plate 45. The support 40 includes a mounting portion 400 mounted on the quick-connect device 3, a connecting portion 401 connected to the handle 44, and a sleeve portion 402 through which the pull rod 41 passes. The mounting portion 400 of the support 40 and the quick-connect device 3 are connected by a plurality of fifth fixing members, and the fifth fixing members are bolts. The connecting portion 401 of the support 40 and the handle 44 are connected by a first rotating shaft (not shown). The pull rod 41 is arranged in the sleeve portion 402 of the support 40 and can move axially along the sleeve portion 402 of the support 40. One free end of the connecting rod 42 and the handle 44 are connected by a second rotating shaft (not shown). The other free end of the connecting rod 42 and one free end of the pull rod 41 are connected by a third rotating shaft (not shown). A nut 46 cooperating with the adjusting bolt 43 is welded to the other free end of the pull rod 41. The stack end plate pressing plate 45 is sleeved on the adjusting bolt 43, and the stack end plate pressing plate 45 cooperates with the end plate 23 on the stack 2. By rotating the adjusting bolt 43, the distance that it extends out of the pull rod 41 can be adjusted, and further the stroke range of the stack end plate pressing plate 45 can be adjusted. The working principle of the toggle mechanism 4 is as follows: when the handle 44 is pulled backward, the handle 44 rotates around the first rotating shaft and pulls the connecting rod 42, and the connecting rod 42 further pulls the pull rod 41. Under the action of the connecting rod 42, the pull rod 41 moves backward from the sleeve portion 402 of the support 40, and further pulls the stack end plate pressing plate 45 to press the stack end plate 23 tightly, so as to realize the locking of the stack 2 and the quick-connect device 3.

[0028] In summary, the present utility model improves the hose connection structure between the stack and the quick-connect device in the prior art into a toggle connection structure, greatly reducing the device connection time during testing, thus improving the work efficiency. In addition, the present utility model is connected with a self-sealing quick connector at the free end of the third cooling water inlet and outlet pipe fitting. Through the docking and disconnection of the quick connector, the connection and disconnection of the third cooling water inlet and outlet pipe fitting and the first cooling water inlet and outlet pipe fitting can be completed, without the need to operate the clamp as in the prior art, so the work efficiency is also greatly improved. In addition, since the quick connector in the present utility model is a self-sealing quick connector, when it is disconnected, the water remaining in the interface will remain in the interface respectively, thus avoiding the cooling water flowing to the ground and causing potential safety hazards.

[0029] The above embodiments only illustrate the principle and efficacy of the present utility model creatively and some applied embodiments, rather than limiting the present utility model. It should be pointed out that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the creative concept of the present utility model, several deformations and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present utility model.
