Automatic fixing device is glued to hydrogen fuel cell metal sheet point
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of hydrogen fuel cell production equipment, and particularly relates to an automatic fixing device for dispensing metal plates of a hydrogen fuel cell.
Background
Fuel cells are promising new power sources, generally using hydrogen, carbon, methanol, borohydride, gas or natural gas as fuel, as the negative electrode, and oxygen in air as the positive electrode. The main difference from a general cell is that the active material of the general cell is pre-placed inside the cell, and thus the cell capacity depends on the amount of active material stored, while the active materials (fuel and oxidant) of the fuel cell are continuously fed while reacting, so that such a cell is actually just an energy conversion device. The battery has the advantages of high conversion efficiency, large capacity, high specific energy, wide power range, no need of charging and the like.
Hydrogen fuel cells, which are one type of proton exchange membrane fuel cell, are capable of converting chemical energy into electrical energy by a redox reaction that continues to occur at the anode and cathode. Electrode plates are an important component of a typical hydrogen fuel cell stack, which serve both as current collector plates and as support membrane electrodes. The flow guide channels on the electrode plates are used for both the channels of fuel hydrogen and oxidant entering the surfaces of the anode and the cathode and the channels for taking away water generated in the operation process of the fuel cell.
The metal plate is an electrode plate made of metal, and is a relatively common electrode plate, in the prior art, a channel on the surface of the metal plate is sealed in a glue injection mode or a sealing ring installation mode, but the sealing performance of the glue injection mode is poor, and the sealing ring mode (namely, the sealing ring is independently manufactured and then fixed on the metal plate in a manual mode) has good sealing performance, but automatic production cannot be realized.
The metal plate is a very thin material, and needs to be pressed in the dispensing process to prevent the metal plate from warping or swelling, so that a device special for fixing the metal plate needs to be developed for realizing the automatic dispensing of the matched metal plate.
