Problems solved by technology

[0010] The existing sealing rings are sealed by the vertical pressure of the guide plate or bipolar plate and the membrane electrode assembly (MEA), without considering another auxiliary sealing method, such as using the pressure difference of the gas to make the sealing ring seal. Self-locking (pressing) is formed in the channel to achieve the sealing effect

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of fuel cell, specifically relates to a proton exchange membrane fuel cell sealing structure. The invention further discloses a self-locking fuel cell sealing assembly structure. The structure relates to a fuel cell monomer, wherein the fuel cell monomer comprises a bipolar plate and a membrane electrode assembly. The bipolar plate comprises an upper monopolar plate and a lower monopolar plate. The proton exchange membrane fuel cell sealing structure is characterized in that: cross-section shapes of an upper sealing ring and a lower sealing ring are concave, the concave parts of the upper sealing ring and the lower upper sealing ring are arranged toward a gas flow field region; a bonding agent layer is arranged between the edge part of a proton exchange membrane and an annular support bench of a membrane electrode support part to bond and fix the edge part and the annular support bench. The structure provided by the present invention has characteristics of simpleness, reliability, easy processing, outer leakage resistance and inner leakage resistance (blow-by of the anode and the cathode).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of fuel cells, and in particular relates to a sealing structure of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell. Background technique [0002] Proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is a power generation device that directly utilizes hydrogen energy. PEMFC directly converts the chemical energy stored in hydrogen fuel and oxidant into electrical energy, and the energy conversion efficiency is high; the fuel cell is environmentally friendly and the only emission It is water. Therefore, fuel cell technology is considered to be the preferred clean and efficient power generation technology in the 21st century. [0003] When the proton exchange membrane fuel cell is working, under the action of the catalyst, the reaction that occurs is: [0004] [0005] The generated pollution-free water is directly discharged or recycled to humidify the gas, and the electrons generated by the electrode reaction reach the cathod...
