Abstract

The invention discloses a fuel cell stack with adjustable end plate stress, and relates to the technical field of fuel cells. The fuel cell stack comprises a stack mechanism, a fixed end plate and anadjusting end plate mechanism are arranged at two ends of the stack mechanism respectively; the adjusting end plate mechanism comprises an adjusting end plate and an adjusting assembly matched with the adjusting end plate, the adjusting assembly is located between the adjusting end plate and the stack mechanism, the adjusting assembly comprises a spring end plate, one side of the spring end plateis fixedly connected with the stack mechanism, and the adjusting end plate mechanism provides pressure which is gradually reduced from the center of the spring end plate to the periphery for the stackmechanism. Through the work of the adjusting assembly, the stress of each point in the stack is the same, the stack structure design of the fuel cell is perfected, the excessive initial assembly gapbetween the polar plate and the MEA can be avoided, more serious consequences caused by poor stack sealing effect and reaction gas leakage can also be prevented, the performance and quality of the fuel cell are improved, the service life of the fuel cell is prolonged, and the potential safety hazard during use of the fuel cell is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of fuel cells, in particular to a fuel cell stack with adjustable stress on end plates. Background technique [0002] The fuel cell stack is assembled by a number of identical single cells in series, mainly including end plates, bipolar plates, membrane electrodes, sealing gaskets and other components, in which each single cell receives assembly pressure under the action of fastening bolts on the end plates , the bipolar plate is a statically indeterminate assembly between the MEA. Gan Frequency and others pointed out in "Distribution Law of Metal Plate Fuel Cell Stack Contact Pressure" that the transfer mechanism of the internal assembly pressure of the stack is: after the torque is applied, the end plate generates an assembly force on the metal plate, and the metal plate Under the action of assembly force, the compression gasket reduces its thickness and makes contact with the MEA. Therefore, after the a...
