Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fuel cell technology, specifically to an anti-corrosion coating structure for a closed-type titanium alloy cathode fuel cell. Background Technology
[0002] An electric fuel cell stack is a device that directly converts chemical energy into electrical energy. It mainly consists of core components such as membrane electrode assemblies, bipolar plates, and seals. Its working principle is based on electrochemical reactions, generating current through the redox reaction of hydrogen and oxygen. It features high energy conversion efficiency, fast response speed, and environmental friendliness, and is widely used in transportation, distributed power generation, portable power supplies, and other fields. With the advancement of materials science and manufacturing processes, the power density, durability, and low-temperature start-up performance of electric fuel cell stacks are constantly improving, providing important support for the development of clean energy technologies.
[0003] However, it still has some drawbacks. For example, the anti-corrosion coating of the cathode closed titanium alloy stack is mostly a fixed structure, which is difficult to disassemble and maintain quickly. It cannot effectively isolate the long-term erosion of external corrosive media, resulting in a shortened service life of the stack. At the same time, the traditional coating structure requires the entire stack to be disassembled during maintenance, which is complicated and time-consuming, increasing maintenance costs.
[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this application proposes an anti-corrosion coating structure for a closed-type titanium alloy cathode stack. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an anti-corrosion coating structure for a closed-type titanium alloy cathode fuel cell stack, so as to solve the problem that the anti-corrosion coating of the closed-type titanium alloy cathode fuel cell stack is inconvenient to disassemble and maintain, as mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a corrosion-resistant coating structure for a closed-type titanium alloy cathode fuel cell stack, comprising a fuel cell stack end plate body, a quick-release corrosion-resistant coating frame detachably mounted on the front side of the fuel cell stack end plate body, a side baffle fixedly connected to one side of the fuel cell stack end plate body, and another set of fuel cell stack end plate bodies fixedly connected to the rear end of the side baffle. The fuel cell stack end plate bodies are fixedly connected to both sides of the side baffle, and the fuel cell stack end plate body has two sets. The quick-release corrosion-resistant coating frame facilitates rapid encapsulation and protection of the fuel cell stack through modular design. The frame is made of titanium alloy material and has an internal graphene composite coating with excellent corrosion resistance, effectively isolating the fuel cell stack from external corrosive media. At the same time, the quick-release corrosion-resistant coating frame adopts a detachable design, and the disassembly method is simple, facilitating later maintenance and replacement, significantly extending the service life of the fuel cell stack and reducing maintenance costs.
[0007] Preferably, the rear end of the fuel cell stack end plate body is detachably equipped with a quick-release anti-corrosion coating frame, and the quick-release anti-corrosion coating frame is provided in two sets. A single battery pack is installed on the inner side between the two sets of fuel cell stack end plate bodies, and the single battery pack is provided in multiple sets.
[0008] Preferably, side baffles are installed on both sides of the single battery pack, and two sets of side baffles are provided. Upper and lower protective frames are installed on the upper and lower sides of the single battery pack, and two sets of upper and lower protective frames are provided. Battery stack interface groups are fixedly connected to both sides of the front of the main body of the battery stack end plate, and the battery stack interface groups penetrate through both sides of the front of the quick-release anti-corrosion coating frame.

[0010] Preferably, a short threaded rod is fixedly connected to the other side of the linkage fixing rod, and a threaded groove is opened inside the perimeter of the other set of quick-release anti-corrosion coating frames. A short threaded rod can be detached inside the threaded groove. The linkage fixing rod passes through the rod movable groove, and the rod movable groove is opened inside both sides of the upper and lower protective frames.
[0011] Preferably, the linkage fixing rod penetrates the interior of both sets of fuel cell stack end plates. The quick-release anti-corrosion coating frame and the upper and lower protective frames are provided with a titanium alloy substrate layer. A ceramic composite transition layer is disposed inside the titanium alloy substrate layer, and a graphene composite coating is disposed inside the ceramic composite transition layer. During use, the quick-release anti-corrosion coating frame is quickly assembled and disassembled using an internal hexagonal cylinder within four operating slots. During installation, the quick-release anti-corrosion coating frame is first placed against the front of the fuel cell stack end plate. The linkage fixing rod is then inserted through the rod movable slot of the upper and lower protective frames and into the threaded groove of the rear quick-release anti-corrosion coating frame. Rotating the internal hexagonal cylinder drives the short threaded rod into the threaded groove to complete the fastening. For disassembly, rotating in the opposite direction separates the quick-release anti-corrosion coating frame. Its titanium alloy substrate layer and internal graphene composite coating form a double protection. The modular design eliminates the need to disassemble the entire fuel cell stack during maintenance; only the quick-release anti-corrosion coating frame and the upper and lower protective frames need to be replaced to restore anti-corrosion performance.
