DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] With reference to the drawings of the embodiments of the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely.

Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of the present application.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 5 The utility model provides a technical scheme: a fuel cell stack and fuel cell system, including box 2, install multiple cell main body 3 in box 2, and cell main body 3 bottom is connected with external connection pipe 11, and cell main body 3 top is connected with two terminal blocks 10, and the top of the box 2 is provided with an upper cover 1, and the bottom of the upper cover 1 is connected with a plurality of connecting devices 8, the connecting device 8 includes fixed block 801, the bottom of fixed block 801 is provided with telescopic slot, and the telescopic slot is slidably connected with telescopic block 805, and the bottom of telescopic block 805 is connected with wiring copper plate 806, the top of telescopic block 805 is provided with two built-in slots 803, and the bottom of built-in slot 803 is connected with first spring 807, and the other end of first spring 807 is connected with the top of telescopic slot inner wall, and the bottom of external connection pipe 11 penetrates the bottom of box 2, and the bottom of wiring copper plate 806 is in contact with the top of two adjacent terminal blocks 10, and the top of fixed block 801 is connected with the bottom of upper cover 1, the bottom of built-in slot 803 is provided with support slot 804, and support rod 802 is slidably connected in support slot 804, and the top of support rod 802 is connected with the top of telescopic slot inner wall, and first spring 807 is sleeved on support rod 802, and the top of both side cell main body 3 is connected with external connection terminal 4, the top of one terminal block 10, and the top of upper cover 1 is provided with two through slots, and external connection terminal 4 penetrates upper cover 1 through through slot, and the both sides of box 2 inner wall are provided with installation slot 5, and the same limiting plate 6 is installed between two installation slots 5 through screw, and the top of cell main body 3 is provided with limiting slot 7, and the inner wall of limiting slot 7 is attached with the outer wall of limiting plate 6.

[0031] Specifically, by setting the connecting device 8, by moving the upper cover 1, the upper cover 1 is aligned with the top of the box body 2, and then the upper cover 1 is moved downward, so that the upper cover 1 drives the fixing block 801 at the bottom to move downward, the fixing block 801 drives the telescopic block 805 in the telescopic slot to move, and then the telescopic block 805 drives the connecting copper plate 806 at the bottom to move downward, so that the bottom of the connecting copper plate 806 is in contact with the connecting terminal 10. By setting the first spring 807, the first spring 807 drives the connecting copper plate 806 to tightly contact the connecting terminal 10 through the telescopic block 805 by the elasticity of the first spring 807, thereby ensuring the connection effect of the connecting copper plate 806, avoiding deformation of the connecting copper plate 806 due to extrusion during use, and affecting the power-on effect. By connecting the two adjacent battery bodies 3 through the connecting copper plate 806, the operation is avoided to be complicated due to external connection, and the risk of electric shock is avoided by manual wiring. By setting the supporting rod 802 to support the first spring 807, the first spring 807 is prevented from being bent when compressed, which affects the resilience of the first spring 807. By setting the limiting plate 6 to fix the battery body 3, the battery body 3 is prevented from shaking during use, which affects the contact effect of the connecting copper plate 806.

[0032] The box body 2 is provided with the installation and dismounting device 9 on both sides, the installation and dismounting device 9 comprises a movable slot 907, the movable slot 907 is arranged on the top of the box body 2, a connecting block 902 is slidably connected in the movable slot 907, a clamping block 901 is connected to the top of the connecting block 902, a pressing block 903 is connected to the bottom of the connecting block 902, two fixed slots are arranged on one side of the pressing block 903, and a fixed rod 904 is slidably connected in the fixed slot, the other end of the fixed rod 904 is connected to one side of the inner wall of the movable slot 907, a second spring 905 is sleeved on the outer wall of the fixed rod 904, and the two ends of the second spring 905 are respectively connected to one side of the pressing block 903 and one side of the inner wall of the movable slot 907. A connecting slot 906 is arranged on one side of the movable slot 907, the inner wall of the connecting slot 906 is in close contact with and slidably connected to the outer wall of the pressing block 903, two clamping slots are arranged on the bottom of the upper cover 1, and the clamping slots are clamped on one side of the corresponding clamping block 901.

[0033] In a specific implementation, by setting up the installation and removal device 9, when the upper cover 1 moves down, the upper cover 1 drives the edge of the snap-fit ​​groove to press the snap-fit ​​block 901, causing the snap-fit ​​block 901 to move to one side under force. The snap-fit ​​block 901 drives the connecting block 902 to move, and the connecting block 902 drives the pressure block 903 to move. During the movement, the pressure block 903 presses the second spring 905, causing the second spring 905 to compress and generate a rebound force. By setting up the fixing rod 904 to support the second spring 905, it is prevented from swaying left and right when the second spring 905 is compressed, which would cause the second spring 905 to fold and fail to rebound, thus affecting the normal operation of the device. Then, when the upper cover 1 is attached to the top of the box 2, the snap-fit ​​block 901 is reset by the rebound of the second spring 905, and then snaps into the snap-fit ​​groove to fix the upper cover 1, thereby making the device easier to install and improving the installation efficiency.

[0034] Working principle: In use, place the battery body 3 into the housing 2, ensuring the bottom outer connector 11 extends out of the bottom of the housing 2. Then, fix the limiting plate 6 to the mounting slots 5 on both sides with screws. Next, move the top cover 1 down, causing the bottom fixing block 801 to move down. This causes the fixing block 801 to move the telescopic block 805 in the telescopic slot. The telescopic block 805 then moves the bottom wiring copper plate 806 down, connecting two adjacent terminals 10. This prevents the connection of multiple battery bodies 3 when connected. Manual connection poses a risk of electric shock. Before the top cover 1 is attached to the top of the housing 2, the snap-fit ​​block 901 is pressed by the snap-fit ​​groove at the bottom of the top cover 1, causing the snap-fit ​​block 901 to move inward. This causes the snap-fit ​​block 901 to move the connecting block 902, which in turn causes the pressure block 903 to move inward. The pressure block 903 then presses the second spring 905. After the top cover 1 is attached to the top of the housing 2, the rebound of the second spring 905 causes the snap-fit ​​block 901 to snap into place with the snap-fit ​​groove, thus fixing the top cover 1 and making installation more convenient.
