[0034] The present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and in conjunction with embodiments.

[0035] Embodiment 1

[0036] This embodiment relates to a fuel cell exhaust system, which can achieve better pressure control of the purge gas to avoid problems such as hydrogen backflow into the stack due to too small gas pressure or cracking of the stack housing due to too large gas pressure, thereby facilitating the improvement of the safety of the fuel cell system.

[0037] In terms of the overall structure, as Figures 1 to 6 shown, the fuel cell exhaust system of this embodiment includes an exhaust pipe 11, a first interface pipe 12 provided on the exhaust pipe 11, and a pressure detection unit provided on the first interface pipe 12. Moreover, a first flow channel 1111 is provided in the exhaust pipe 11. The inlet of the first interface pipe 12 is connected to the stack purge pipe of the fuel cell, the outlet of the first interface pipe 12 is connected to the first flow channel 1111, and the outlet of the first flow channel 1111 is arranged close to the outlet of the exhaust pipe 11.

[0038] At this time, with the above settings, by setting the first interface pipeline 12 connected to the stack purge pipeline, and arranging a first flow channel 1111 connected to the first interface pipeline 12 in the tail exhaust pipeline 11, and the outlet of the first flow channel 1111 being arranged close to the outlet of the tail exhaust pipeline 11, it is possible to separate the stack purge gas from the other gas flows for discharge, thereby reducing the risk of hydrogen backflow into the stack. At the same time, the setting of the pressure detection unit can monitor the pressure of the stack purge gas. It can not only cooperate with the first flow channel 1111 to reduce the risk of hydrogen backflow caused by too low pressure, but also avoid cracking of the stack housing due to excessive purge pressure, thus facilitating the improvement of the safety of the fuel cell.

[0039] It should be noted that the direction-related expressions in this embodiment are only exemplary descriptions of this embodiment. In specific implementation, the direction expressions in this embodiment vary with the setting direction of the tail exhaust pipeline, that is, the directions in this embodiment refer to a relative coordinate system based on the tail exhaust pipeline. For example, in Figure 1 the state shown, the inlet of the tail exhaust pipeline 11 is located at the left end of itself, and the outlet of the tail exhaust pipeline 11 is located at the right end of itself.

[0040] Based on the above overall introduction, in detail, in this embodiment, the pressure detection unit can preferably adopt a pressure sensor well-known to those skilled in the art. And in specific implementation, a first detection and installation part 13 integrated with the first interface pipeline 12 can preferably be provided on the tail exhaust pipeline 11. The specific structural form of the first detection and installation part 13 can be set and adjusted according to the actual layout and installation requirements of the pressure detection unit. For example, it is provided with a communication hole communicating with the first interface pipeline 12, etc.

[0041] Furthermore, as a preferred implementation form, the fuel cell exhaust system of this embodiment further includes a controller and an air compressor. When specifically setting, both the pressure detection unit and the air compressor are connected to the controller, and the output end of the air compressor is connected to the stack purge pipeline. Then, after the controller receives the pressure signal sent by the pressure detection unit, it can directly control the output pressure of the air compressor through the controller, thereby realizing the monitoring and adjustment of the pressure of the stack purge gas, and further achieving the purpose of avoiding hydrogen backflow or cracking of the stack housing.

[0042] Meanwhile, in addition to the above-described method of directly controlling the air compressor by the controller to adjust the purge pressure of the fuel cell stack, in this embodiment, as another preferred implementation form, on the basis of providing a controller and an air compressor, a regulating valve for controlling the gas flow rate may also be provided on the fuel cell stack purge pipeline. At this time, both the pressure detection unit and the regulating valve are connected to the controller, and the output end of the air compressor is connected to the fuel cell stack purge pipeline. Thus, after the controller receives the pressure signal sent by the pressure detection unit, the controller can control the opening degree of the regulating valve (at this time, it can be default that the output pressure of the air compressor is greater than the pressure bearing value of the fuel cell stack housing) to monitor and adjust the purge gas pressure of the fuel cell stack, thereby achieving the above-mentioned purpose of avoiding hydrogen backflow or cracking of the fuel cell stack housing.

[0043] Of course, in order to control the purge pressure of the fuel cell stack to avoid hydrogen backflow or cracking of the fuel cell stack housing, those skilled in the art can adopt other common technical means to control the purge pressure of the fuel cell stack based on the information feedback of the pressure detection unit, not limited to the above two control methods. And the above-mentioned regulating valve can specifically adopt a flow control valve or a solenoid valve, and the above-mentioned controller can specifically be a control device commonly known to those skilled in the art such as an HCU (Hybrid Vehicle Controller) or an ECU (Electronic Control Unit) to save design and manufacturing costs. Secondly, for the related structural parts not mentioned in the fuel cell exhaust system of this embodiment, they can all refer to the structures in the fuel cell system well-known to those skilled in the art, and will not be elaborated here.

[0044] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as a preferred implementation form, in combination with Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a first convex portion 111 protruding into the tail exhaust pipeline 11 is provided on the inner wall of the tail exhaust pipeline 11, and a first flow channel 1111 is provided in the first convex portion 111. The main advantage of such a setting is that it is beneficial to the layout of the first flow channel 1111, and to separate and discharge the fuel cell stack purge gas from other discharged gases in the tail exhaust pipeline 11.

[0045] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, as a preferred implementation form, a second interface pipeline 14 is provided on the tail exhaust pipeline 11, and the inlet of the second interface pipeline 14 is connected to the pressure relief pipeline of the fuel cell. At the same time, a second flow channel 1112 is provided in the first convex portion 111, the outlet of the second interface pipeline 14 is connected to the second flow channel 1112, and the outlet of the second flow channel 1112 is arranged close to the outlet of the tail exhaust pipeline 11.

[0046] It can be understood that by cooperatively arranging the second interface pipeline 14 and the second flow channel 1112 integrated on the first convex portion 111, not only can the gas discharged from the pressure relief pipeline be separated from and discharged together with other discharged gases, but also it is beneficial to improve the overall integration degree of the device. Moreover, the outlet of the second flow channel 1112 is arranged close to the outlet of the tail exhaust pipeline 11, which is beneficial to reducing the risk of hydrogen backflow.

[0047] Furthermore, as a further improved form, in this embodiment, the second interface pipeline 14 is located between the outlets of the first interface pipeline 12 and the tail exhaust pipeline 11, which is beneficial to improving the layout rationality of the tail exhaust pipeline 11 and each interface pipeline, saving space occupation while avoiding cross - over between the first flow channel 1111 and the second flow channel 1112.

[0048] In addition, in this embodiment, as a preferred implementation form, in combination with Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 as shown, a third interface pipeline 15 is provided on the tail exhaust pipeline 11, and the inlet of the third interface pipeline 15 is connected to the drainage pipeline of the fuel cell. At the same time, a third flow channel 1121 is provided in the tail exhaust pipeline 11, the outlet of the third interface pipeline 15 is connected to the third flow channel 1121, and the outlet of the third flow channel 1121 is arranged close to the outlet of the tail exhaust pipeline 11.

[0049] Also, as a preferred implementation form, in this embodiment, a fourth interface pipeline 16 is provided on the tail exhaust pipeline 11, the inlet of the fourth interface pipeline 16 is connected to the nitrogen discharge pipeline of the fuel cell, and the outlet of the fourth interface pipeline 16 is connected to the third flow channel 1121.

[0050] The main advantage of such an arrangement is that through the cooperative arrangement of the third interface pipeline 15, the fourth interface pipeline 16 and the third flow channel 1121, while improving the integration degree of the fuel cell exhaust system, it can achieve separation and discharge from other discharged gases and avoid the occurrence of hydrogen backflow.

[0051] Moreover, in this embodiment, also as a preferred implementation form, a second convex portion 112 protruding into the tail exhaust pipeline 11 is provided on the inner wall of the tail exhaust pipeline 11, and the third flow channel 1121 is arranged in the second convex portion 112. Thus, it is beneficial to the layout and design of the third flow channel 1121 and to separate and discharge the hydrogen in the drainage pipeline and the nitrogen discharge pipeline from other discharged gases.

[0052] At this time, to further reduce the risk of hydrogen backflow, in this embodiment, as a preferred implementation form, a hydrogen concentration detection unit is provided on the tail exhaust pipeline 11, and the hydrogen concentration detection unit is arranged close to the exhaust port of the tail exhaust pipeline 11. It can be understood that by setting the hydrogen concentration detection unit, it is conducive to real-time monitoring of the hydrogen concentration and avoiding safety accidents caused by too high hydrogen concentration in the tail exhaust.

[0053] During specific implementation, for the convenience of assembling the hydrogen concentration detection unit, in this embodiment, a second detection and installation member 19 for arranging and installing the hydrogen concentration detection unit may also be provided on the tail exhaust pipeline 11. The specific structural form of the second detection and installation member 19 can be set and adjusted according to the actual installation requirements of the hydrogen concentration detection unit. For example, an installation through hole communicating with the inside of the tail exhaust pipeline 11 is provided on the second detection and installation member 19.

[0054] In this embodiment, as a preferred implementation form, an air valve is provided at the inlet of the tail exhaust pipeline 11 to facilitate the control of the on-off between the tail exhaust pipeline 11 and the air module. During specific implementation, as Figure 1 shown, an air valve connection flange 115 for connecting with the air valve is further provided at the left end of the tail exhaust pipeline 11 in this embodiment.

[0055] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, in this embodiment, as a preferred implementation form, a fifth interface pipeline 17 is provided on the tail exhaust pipeline 11. The inlet of the fifth interface pipeline 17 is connected to the outlet of the intercooler of the fuel cell, and the outlet of the fifth interface pipeline 17 is connected to the inside of the tail exhaust pipeline 11. At the same time, as a preferred implementation form, a sixth interface pipeline 18 is provided on the tail exhaust pipeline 11. The inlet of the sixth interface pipeline 18 is connected to the purge outlet of the air compressor of the fuel cell, and the outlet of the sixth interface pipeline 18 is connected to the inside of the tail exhaust pipeline 11.

[0056] Here, through the combined setting of the fifth interface pipeline 17 and the sixth interface pipeline 18, other interface pipelines can be combined to reduce the number of components, thereby reducing costs, saving space, improving the integration degree, and being beneficial to lightweight design.

[0057] In addition, still as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, in this embodiment, as a preferred implementation form, an installation part is provided on the tail exhaust pipeline 11, and the installation part fixes the tail exhaust pipeline 11 in the fuel cell system to facilitate the layout and installation of the fuel cell exhaust system in the fuel cell system.

[0058] In specific implementation, the installation part of this embodiment includes an installation seat 113 provided on the tail exhaust pipeline 11. The installation seat 113 includes a mounting plate for fixedly installing in the fuel cell system, and a support plate provided between the tail exhaust pipeline 11 and the mounting plate. When necessary, reinforcing ribs and the like can also be provided between the mounting plate, the support plate and the tail exhaust pipeline 11.

[0059] Furthermore, as a preferred implementation form, a wire harness fixing part for fixing the wire harness is provided on the tail exhaust pipeline 11 of this embodiment, which is conducive to the arrangement and storage of the wire harness in the fuel cell system. In specific implementation, the wire harness is provided with fixing feet with threads. The wire harness fixing part includes a wire harness fixing plate 114 and a wire harness fixing protrusion 116 provided on the tail exhaust pipeline 11, and threaded holes for threaded cooperation with the fixing feet are provided on both the wire harness fixing plate 114 and the wire harness fixing protrusion 116. Thus, the wire harness can be arranged and fixed by screwing the fixing feet into the threaded holes.

[0060] In the fuel cell exhaust system of this embodiment, by providing a first interface pipeline 12 connected to the stack purge pipeline, and providing a first flow channel 1111 connected to the first interface pipeline 12 in the tail exhaust pipeline 11, and the outlet of the first flow channel 1111 is arranged close to the outlet of the tail exhaust pipeline 11, it is possible to separate the stack purge gas from the other gas flows for discharge, so as to reduce the risk of hydrogen backflow into the stack. At the same time, the setting of the pressure detection unit can monitor the pressure of the stack purge gas, which can not only cooperate with the first flow channel 1111 to reduce the risk of hydrogen backflow caused by too low pressure, but also avoid the cracking of the stack housing caused by too high purge pressure. Thus, it is beneficial to improve the safety of the fuel cell.

[0061] At the same time, in this embodiment, by integrating each interface pipeline on the tail exhaust pipeline 11, the number of components can be reduced, so as to reduce costs and save space, and then improve the integration degree of the tail exhaust pipeline and be beneficial to lightweight. Secondly, the settings of the first flow channel 1111, the second flow channel 1112 and the third flow channel 1121 are not only conducive to preventing hydrogen from backflowing into the stack, but also can reduce the hydrogen backflow into the tail exhaust pipeline 11, thus being beneficial to improving the safety quality of the fuel cell.
