[0033] This utility model proposes a fuel cell stack assembly device 1000.

[0034] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 6 In one embodiment of this utility model, the fuel cell stack assembly equipment 1000 includes a platform 1, an assembly component, and a clamping component 5; the platform 1 is provided with an mounting plate 11; the assembly component includes a first robot 2, a second robot 3, and a third robot 4, which are located on the periphery of the platform 1. The first robot 2 is used to grasp the lower cover 110 and the upper cover 170, the second robot 3 is used to grasp the first sealing gasket 120, the second sealing gasket 160, the first electrode plate 130, the second electrode plate 150, and the exchange membrane 140, and the third robot 4 is used to install screws; the clamping component 5 is movably disposed on the platform 1 and is used to clamp the upper cover 170; wherein, the lower cover 110, the first sealing gasket 120, the first electrode plate 130, the exchange membrane 140, the second electrode plate 150, the second sealing gasket 160, and the upper cover 170 are stacked sequentially to form a fuel cell stack unit 100.

[0035] In the technical solution of this utility model, the first robot 2, the second robot 3, and the third robot 4 are each responsible for different assembly tasks, which can realize the automated assembly of the fuel cell stack unit 100 and improve production efficiency. In addition, the clamping member 5 is movably set. After the first robot 2 grabs the lower cover 110 onto the mounting plate 11, it can grab the upper cover 170 onto the clamping member 5 while the second robot 3 is grabbing and assembling other components. In this way, after the lower cover 110, the first sealing gasket 120, the first electrode plate 130, the exchange membrane 140, the second electrode plate 150, and the second sealing gasket 160 are stacked, the clamping member 5 can directly complete the assembly of the upper cover 170, and the third robot 4 can install the screws earlier, further improving production efficiency.

[0036] Screws can tightly fasten the various components of the fuel cell unit 100 together, ensuring the airtightness and structural integrity of the fuel cell unit 100.

[0037] Furthermore, in one embodiment of this utility model, please refer to... Figure 2 The fuel cell stack assembly equipment 1000 also includes a first drive assembly 6, which is mounted on the platform 1. A clamping member 5 is mounted on the first drive assembly 6. The first drive assembly 6 drives the clamping member 5 to reciprocate along the Z-axis. The first drive assembly 6 enables the clamping member 5 to perform precise reciprocating motion along the Z-axis, which helps control the vertical position of the clamping member 5 and ensures precise docking of the top cover 170 with other components. During assembly, the clamping member 5 can be positioned at a higher level to avoid interference with the second robot 3. Simultaneously, during the assembly of the top cover 170, the clamping member 5 can apply a top-down preload to the fuel cell stack unit 100 under the drive of the first drive assembly 6, which also facilitates the subsequent installation and screw tightening by the third robot 4. The first drive assembly 6 drives the clamping member 5 through a motor and a lead screw-slider mechanism, providing precise linear motion control and ensuring highly accurate movement of the clamping member 5 in the Z-axis direction, thereby guaranteeing the accuracy of the fuel cell stack unit 100 assembly. Alternatively, the clamping component 5 can be driven to move by a cylinder or by a motor-driven gear rack.

[0038] For increased flexibility, please refer to one embodiment of this utility model. Figure 2The fuel cell stack assembly equipment 1000 also includes a second drive assembly 7, which is located on the platform 1. The mounting plate 11 is located on the second drive assembly 7, and the second drive assembly 7 drives the mounting plate 11 to reciprocate along the Y-axis. The second drive assembly 7 allows for flexible adjustment of the position of the mounting plate 11, ensuring that the mounting plate 11 is not directly below the clamping member 5 before the cover 170 is assembled, but rather staggered with the clamping member 5 along the Z-axis, creating a spatial misalignment. This facilitates the first robot 2 in grasping the cover 170 onto the clamping member 5 during the operation of the second robot 3. The second drive assembly 7 drives the mounting plate 11 via a motor and a lead screw-slider mechanism, providing precise linear motion control. Alternatively, it can be driven by a cylinder or by a motor driving a gear and rack mechanism.

[0039] Furthermore, in one embodiment of this utility model, please refer to... Figure 2 The fuel cell stack assembly equipment 1000 also includes a third drive assembly 8, which is disposed above the second drive assembly 7. The mounting plate 11 is disposed on the third drive assembly 8, and the third drive assembly 8 is used to drive the mounting plate 11 to reciprocate along the X-axis. In this way, the mounting plate 11 can move in the X and Y-axis directions, while the clamping member 5 can move in the Z-axis direction. This coordinated movement in three directions improves the assembly flexibility of the equipment. The third drive assembly 8 drives the mounting plate 11 through a motor and a lead screw and slider mechanism, thus providing precise linear motion control. Alternatively, the mounting plate 11 can also be driven by a cylinder or by a motor driving a gear and rack mechanism.

[0040] To facilitate positioning, in one embodiment of this utility model, the mounting plate 11 is provided with a positioning groove, which can limit the lower cover 110, thereby ensuring the consistency of the position between the components and helping to improve the final product quality.

[0041] Specifically, in one embodiment of this utility model, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The first robot 2 includes a first movable base and a first robotic arm 21. The first robotic arm 21 includes a mounting base 211 and two clamping plates 212. The mounting base 211 is located on the first movable base, and the two clamping plates 212 are movably mounted on one end of the mounting base 211. The first movable base allows the first robotic arm 21 to move in multiple directions in space, ensuring operational flexibility and adapting to different assembly tasks and working environments. The movably mounted two clamping plates 212 allow for precise control of gripping and releasing.

[0042] Furthermore, in one embodiment of this utility model, please refer to... Figure 3Each clamping plate 212 has multiple spaced grooves on the side facing the other clamping plate 212. The grooves increase the friction between the clamping plate 212 and the clamped object (lower cover 110 and upper cover 170), improving clamping stability and preventing slippage during transport. Furthermore, the groove design reduces the direct contact area between the clamping plate 212 and the surface of the clamped object, thereby reducing the risk of damage to the object's surface.

[0043] Specifically, in one embodiment of this utility model, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 The second robot 3 includes a second movable seat and a second robotic arm 31. The second robotic arm 31 includes a connecting plate 311 and a vacuum suction cup 312. The connecting plate 311 is located on the second movable seat, and the vacuum suction cup 312 is located on the connecting plate 311. The second movable seat allows the second robotic arm 31 to move in multiple directions in space, ensuring operational flexibility and adapting to different assembly tasks and working environments. The vacuum suction cup 312 can precisely adsorb and release various components, thereby ensuring the precise assembly of the fuel cell stack unit 100. Furthermore, the vacuum suction cup 312 can quickly adsorb and release components, improving the assembly efficiency of the fuel cell stack unit 100.

[0044] Furthermore, the second robotic arm 31 includes multiple vacuum suction cups 312, which are arranged in a rectangular array on the connecting plate 311. The multiple vacuum suction cups 312 can simultaneously adsorb, improving the adsorption capacity of the second robotic arm 31. The rectangular array arrangement ensures that the adsorbed object experiences more uniform force, avoiding damage caused by excessive localized force. In this embodiment, please refer to... Figure 4 The number of vacuum suction cups 312 is four. Furthermore, the vacuum suction cups 312 are movably mounted on the connecting plate 311, allowing adjustment of the distance between each vacuum suction cup 312 to accommodate objects of different sizes. In addition, the second robotic arm 31 also includes a vision locator 313, which is positioned at the center of multiple vacuum suction cups 312. The vision locator 313 can identify the position of the electrode plates, thereby precisely clamping the first electrode plate 130 and the second electrode plate 150.

[0045] Specifically, in one embodiment of this utility model, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 The third robot includes a third movable seat and a torque wrench 41, which is located on the third movable seat. The torque wrench 41 can precisely control the torque when tightening screws, which can prevent component damage or poor assembly due to excessive or insufficient torque, thereby improving assembly quality.

[0046] Furthermore, in one embodiment of this utility model, please refer to... Figure 5The torque wrench 41 is equipped with a display screen 411. The display screen 411 can display the current torque value in real time, allowing the operator to monitor the accuracy of the tightening operation in an instant, and also increasing the transparency of the operation.
