Through the stress applied around the third end plate 800, the elastic component 700 reacts on the cell stack 300, so that the stress distribution of the cell stack 300 is more uniform, particularly, the reaction force of the elastic component 700 at the central part of the cell stack 300 can compensate and promote the static friction force between cell sealing devices or cell parts in the cell stack, so as to prevent the cells in the cell stack 300 from sliding, and the acting force can also keep the gravity center of the cell stack 300 stable, prevent the stacked cell sealing devices from deforming, thereby obtaining the cell stack with simple structure, part tolerance and low cost. Preferably, in this embodiment, the elastic member 700 is a disc spring.
The fastening points of the electric pile provided by the embodiment are arranged on the first end plate 100 and the second end plate 400, and the first end plate 100 and the second end plate 400 can be made of metal materials, so that the electric pile is high in strength, high in elastic modulus and fatigue-resistant, and is more reliable in fastening; the fastening force is uniformly transmitted to the stack structure by the first end plate 100 and the second end plate 400, and the elastic assembly 700 and the buffer laminate 600 compensate, so that the deviation caused by the processing precision is avoided, and the stack is not easy to deform; the insulating plate 500 integrates the functions of the insulating plate cooling cavity 2 and the manifold, so that the parts of the galvanic pile are reduced, and the current collecting plate 200 is embedded in the insulating plate 500, so that the assembly is simple, and the integration level of the galvanic pile is high; the processing precision requirement of the electric pile auxiliary part can be relaxed, and the processing cost is reduced. In addition, because of having avoided the contact of fluid with the auxiliary of electric pile such as end plate and fastener, reduced the risk of oxidative corrosion, expanded end plate and fastener electric pile auxiliary material selection, selectable light rigid material further lightens electric pile weight for the low in manufacturing cost of electric pile.
The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and it should not be understood that the present invention is limited to the details of the embodiment and the range of applications, which can be changed by those skilled in the art according to the spirit of the present invention.
