Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of fuel cell installation equipment, in particular to a fuel cell clamping mechanism. Background Art

[0002] Fuel cells are highly efficient energy conversion devices that directly convert the chemical energy of fuel into electrical energy. During the fuel cell assembly process, ensuring the proper alignment of each fuel cell unit is crucial. Alignment involves precisely adjusting the position of the fuel cell relative to its central axis to minimize positional deviation during stacking. Ignoring this alignment step can lead to errors in the subsequent assembly of the fuel cell, reducing assembly efficiency and potentially resulting in the production of fuel cells that fail to meet established assembly standards and performance requirements.

[0003] However, current automated fuel cell assembly technology faces a challenge: the lack of efficient alignment devices. Due to the small size of fuel cells and the compact structure of assembly equipment, many existing fuel cell production equipment struggle to integrate alignment capabilities. This means that alignment operations on fuel cell production lines often rely on manual labor, which not only increases production costs but also introduces the potential for human error.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The following describes in detail embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. On the contrary, the embodiments of the present invention include all variations, modifications, and equivalents that fall within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

[0020] The fuel cell clamping mechanism according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the fuel cell clamping mechanism of the embodiment of the present invention may include a support base 10, two clamping components 20, a retractable device 30 and a transmission assembly 40, wherein the two clamping components 20 are symmetrically and slidably arranged on the support base 10.

[0022] The retractable device 30 is disposed on the support base 10 , and the transmission assembly 40 is connected to the output end of the retractable device 30 and the two clamping components 20 respectively.

[0023] It should be noted that the telescopic device 30 described in this embodiment may be a pneumatic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder or an electric telescopic rod, and the initial state of the output end of the telescopic device 30 is an extended state.

[0024] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the clamping component 20 may include a slider 21 , a support plate 22 and a clamping member 23 .

[0025] The support base 10 is provided with two symmetrically distributed sliding grooves 11 , and the sliders 21 are slidably arranged in the corresponding sliding grooves 11 .

[0026] The support plate 22 is fixedly arranged on the slider 21, and the bottom wall of the support plate 22 is in contact with the top wall of the support seat 10. A first slideway 2201 is provided on the top wall of one end of the support plate 22, and the clamping member 23 is fixedly connected to the top wall of the other end of the support plate 22.

[0027] In order to clearly illustrate the above embodiment, in one embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the clamping member 23 may include a clamping block 231 and a clamping head 232 , wherein the clamping block 231 is fixedly disposed on the other end wall of the support plate 22 , and a mounting groove 2301 is defined on the clamping block 231 .

[0028] The clamping head 232 is rotatably disposed in the mounting groove 2301 , wherein the clamping head 232 is semicircular.

[0029] It should be noted that the mounting groove 2301 described in this embodiment is semicircular, and a semicircular slide rail (not specifically marked in the figure) is provided at the bottom of the mounting groove 2301, and a semicircular slide groove (not shown in the figure) is provided at the bottom of the clamping head 232, and the clamping head 232 is slidably connected to the semicircular slide rail through the semicircular slide groove.

[0030] In the embodiment of the present invention, anti-slip grooves are provided on the clamping surface of the clamping head 232. It is understood that the anti-slip grooves provided on the clamping surface of the clamping head 232 can prevent the clamping head 232 from slipping when clamping the fuel cell, thereby preventing the fuel cell from falling during the process of being clamped by the clamping head 232.

[0031] It can be understood that by rotating the clamping head 232 and setting it in the installation groove 2301 of the clamping block 231, when the clamping head 232 clamps a fuel cell with an uneven surface, the clamping head 232 can be rotated to make full contact with the surface of the fuel cell, thereby increasing the friction between the clamping head 232 and the fuel cell and preventing the fuel cell from slipping during the clamping process.

[0032] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the transmission assembly 40 may include a driving block 41 and two driving arms 42, wherein the driving block 41 is movably set on the support seat 10, and one end of the driving block 41 is fixedly connected to the output end of the retractable device 30, and a second slide 401 is provided on the top surface of the driving block 41.

[0033] The two driving arms 42 are symmetrically distributed on the support base 10, and the middle portion of the driving arm 42 is rotatably connected to the support base 10 via a rotating shaft. One end of the driving arm 42 is slidably connected to the corresponding first slide 2201 via a connecting rod, and the other end of the driving arm 42 is slidably connected to the second slide 401 via a connecting rod. The driving arm 42 is V-shaped. It should be noted that the V-angle of the driving arm 42 described in this embodiment is an obtuse angle.

[0034] Specifically, when a fuel cell needs to be assembled by centering and clamping, the staff first needs to position the fuel cell between the two clamping components 20. Then, the staff controls the output end of the retractable device 30 to retract and drive the drive block 41 away from the fuel cell. At this time, the moving drive block 41 drives the two drive arms 42 to rotate toward each other. The two rotating drive arms 42 respectively push the corresponding support plates 22 to drive the slider 21 and the clamping member 23 to move along the slide 11. The clamping heads 232 in the two clamping members 23 moving toward each other clamp the fuel cell in the center. This allows the position of the fuel cell to be precisely adjusted, effectively reducing the positional deviation of the fuel cell during the stacking process.

[0035] In summary, the fuel cell clamping mechanism of the embodiment of the present invention can effectively achieve high-precision centering operation, thereby improving the production efficiency and product quality of the fuel cell.
