Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0026] A small power box for an air-cooled hydrogen fuel cell comprises a box body 1, a lithium battery 2, an air-cooled hydrogen fuel cell stack 3, a medium-pressure sensor 4, a pressure reducing valve 5, a low-pressure sensor 6, an air intake connector 7, an air intake solenoid valve 8, an exhaust solenoid valve 9, a controller 10, a plurality of transmission pipes 11, and a plurality of wires 12. A detachable side panel 13 is provided on the right outer side of the box body 1. The right outer side of the box body 1 and the side panel 13 form a wiring channel 14. A through hole 15 is provided at the bottom of the box body 1. An air intake grille 16 and an exhaust grille 17 are provided on the front and rear sides of the box body 1, respectively. The pressure reducing valve 5 comprises a first air intake port 51 and a first exhaust port 52. The air-cooled hydrogen fuel cell stack 3 comprises a second air intake port 31 and a second exhaust port 32. The air intake solenoid valve 8 comprises a first input end 81 and a first output end 82. The exhaust solenoid valve 9 comprises a second input end 91 and a second output end 92.

[0027] The lithium battery 2 and the air-cooled hydrogen fuel cell stack 3 are both arranged inside the box 1, the lithium battery 2 is located above the air-cooled hydrogen fuel cell stack 3, the pressure reducing valve 5 is installed on the inner bottom of the box 1, the pressure reducing valve 5 is located below the air-cooled hydrogen fuel cell stack 3, the medium pressure sensor 4 and the low pressure sensor 6 are both installed on the pressure reducing valve 5, the intake solenoid valve 8, the exhaust solenoid valve 9 and the controller 10 are all installed on the right inner side of the box 1, the intake solenoid valve 8 and the exhaust solenoid valve 9 are both located on the right side of the pressure reducing valve 5, the controller 10 is located on the right side of the lithium battery 2, and the intake connector 7 is provided on the outside of the box 1;

[0028] One end of the transmission pipe 11 is connected to the air intake connector 7, and the other end passes through the bottom of the box 1 and is connected to the first air intake port 51. The first exhaust port 52 is connected to the first input port 81 through the transmission pipe 11, and the first output port 82 is connected to the second air intake port 31 through the transmission pipe 11. The second exhaust port 32 is connected to the second input port 91 through the transmission pipe 11, and the second output port 92 is connected to the through hole 15; the lithium battery 2, the air-cooled hydrogen fuel cell stack 3, the medium pressure sensor 4, the low pressure sensor 6, the intake solenoid valve 8 and the exhaust solenoid valve 9 are respectively electrically connected to the controller 10 through their respective wires 12, and the wiring channel 14 is used to arrange a number of the wires 12.

[0029] This solution is a small air-cooled hydrogen fuel cell power box, such as Figure 1-5As shown, when it is necessary to use it to provide electrical energy for an external power system, first connect the air intake connector 7 to the hydrogen gas source (not shown in the figure), then turn on the hydrogen gas source, and the hydrogen is transmitted to the pressure reducing valve 5 through the transmission pipe 11 connected to the air intake connector 7. The setting of the medium pressure sensor 4 can detect the air pressure of the hydrogen when it is input into the pressure reducing valve 5 in real time. When the medium pressure sensor 4 detects that the hydrogen pressure value is 0.1-3.5MPa, the pressure reducing valve 5 will reduce the hydrogen pressure to 40-70KPa. The setting of the low pressure sensor 6 can detect the air pressure of the hydrogen when it is output from the pressure reducing valve 5 in real time. When the low pressure sensor 6 detects that the hydrogen pressure value is 40-70KPa, the controller 10 controls the air intake solenoid valve 8 to open, and the air intake solenoid valve 8 allows a certain amount of hydrogen to pass through, and then closes. Hydrogen is transmitted to the air-cooled hydrogen fuel cell stack 3 through the transmission pipe 11 for reaction. At this time, the air outside the box 1 enters the air-cooled hydrogen fuel cell stack 3 through the air intake grille 16 and is discharged from the exhaust grille 17. This process provides oxygen for the reaction of the air-cooled hydrogen fuel cell stack 3. When hydrogen and oxygen have fully reacted, the controller 10 controls the exhaust solenoid valve 9 to open, and the generated water can be discharged to the outside of the box 1 through the through hole 15. Hydrogen and oxygen react in the air-cooled hydrogen fuel cell stack 3, and electrical energy is generated through chemical reactions. Finally, after the electrical energy passes through the controller 10, it is stored in the lithium battery 2 for use as a backup power supply.

The wires 12 are uniformly arranged in a wiring channel 14 formed by the right outer side of the box 1 and the side panel 13. Compared to the traditional method of placing the wiring channel in the middle of the box cavity, the wiring channel 14 is placed outside the box 1. This effectively avoids the wiring channel 14 occupying the internal space of the box 1, thereby limiting the layout and capacity of other key components. In addition, when staff need to repair or organize the wires 12, they only need to remove the side panel 13.

[0031] Preferably, the right outer side of the box body 1 is provided with a first opening 18 and a second opening 19, and the first opening 18 is located below the second opening 19.

The wire 12 connected to the output power plug 21 is located in the wiring channel 14.

[0037] In this embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the first mounting bracket 25 is provided to provide stable support and fixation for the lithium battery 2, thereby ensuring that the lithium battery 2 is in a stable position inside the box 1 and preventing damage or performance degradation due to vibration or movement. The second mounting bracket 26 is provided to provide necessary support and fixation for the air-cooled hydrogen fuel cell stack 3, thereby ensuring that the air-cooled hydrogen fuel cell stack 3 is in a stable position inside the box 1, which helps to improve its working efficiency and reliability.
