Detailed Description
Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are illustrative and intended to explain the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
An explosion-proof air-cooled fuel cell system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to fig. 1 to 10, the explosion-proof air-cooled fuel cell system including: a battery case 110, a fuel cell stack 120, and a moving grid.
The fuel cell stack 120 is located in the battery box 110, the battery box 110 is provided with an air inlet 113 and an air outlet 114, and the air inlet 113 and the air outlet 114 are both provided with fixed grids. The movable grill is movably disposed between an open position, in which the movable grill is interfitted with the fixed grill to close the air inlet 113 and the air outlet 114, and a closed position, in which the movable grill is spaced apart from the fixed grill to open the air inlet 113 and the air outlet 114. That is, the closing and opening of the battery case 110 can be achieved by the cooperation between the moving grill and the fixed grill.
The explosion-proof air-cooled fuel cell system provided by the embodiment of the invention can enable the cathode open type air-cooled fuel cell to be used in a polluted environment, the fuel cell is timely isolated from the outside through the matching of the movable grating and the fixed grating when the environment has an explosion risk, and even if the fuel cell explodes in the cell box, the sealed cell box can also play a role in explosion suppression. Therefore, the explosion-proof air-cooled fuel cell system provided by the embodiment of the invention can be suitable for high-pollution and severe environments such as coal mines and the like, and has the advantages of high safety, simple structure and low cost.
As shown in fig. 1 to 10, the fixed grill includes an inlet grill 115 and an outlet grill 116. An inlet grill 115 is provided at the inlet 113, and an outlet grill 116 is provided at the outlet 114. The inlet grill 115 and the outlet grill 116 each include a plurality of horizontally disposed fixed division bars 200, and the fixed division bars 200 have spaces therebetween, which allow air to circulate.
The moving grill includes a first grill 131 and a second grill 132, and the first grill 131 and the second grill 132 are located in the battery case 110. The first grill 131 is opposed to the gas inlet 113, the second grill 132 is opposed to the gas outlet 114, and the first grill 131 and the second grill 132 are movably disposed in the gas flow direction so as to move between the open position and the closed position. The gas flow direction is shown by the arrows in fig. 1, 3, 5, 10.
The first grill 131 and the second grill 132 each include a plurality of horizontally disposed moving division bars 220. The intervals between the moving division bars 220 of the first grill 131 and the fixed division bars 210 of the intake grill 115 are opposite in the gas flow direction, and the intervals between the moving division bars 220 of the first grill 131 and the fixed division bars 210 of the intake grill 115 are opposite in the gas flow direction. The intervals between the movable spacers 220 of the second grill 132 and the fixed spacers 210 of the outlet grill 116 are opposite in the gas flow direction, and the intervals between the movable spacers 220 of the second grill 132 and the fixed spacers 210 of the outlet grill 116 are opposite in the gas flow direction.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 1 to 10, the inlet grill 115, the first grill 131, the fuel cell stack 120, the second grill 132, and the outlet grill 116 are arranged in this order in the gas flow direction.
As shown in fig. 2, 4, 6, and 8, in the closed position, the first grill 131 and the intake grill 115 are fitted to each other so that the intake port 113 is closed, that is, the movable partitioning bars 220 of the first grill 131 block the gaps between the fixed partitioning bars 210 of the intake grill 115. The second grill 132 and the outlet grill 116 are interlaced to close the outlet 114, i.e. the movable parting strips 220 of the second grill 132 block the gaps between the fixed parting strips 210 of the outlet grill 116, so that the external air can no longer enter the battery case 110.
As shown in fig. 1, 3, 5 and 7, in the open position, the first grill 131 is spaced apart from the inlet grill 115, i.e., the first grill 131 is spaced apart from the inlet grill 115 in the gas flow direction, and the second grill 132 is spaced apart from the outlet grill 116, i.e., the second grill 132 is spaced apart from the outlet grill 116 in the gas flow direction, so that air can enter the battery case 110 to react with the fuel cell stack 120 and then flow out of the outlet port 114.
The grill structure is advantageous in that the battery case 110 can be quickly closed with a short stroke while ensuring the intake air amount of the battery case 110, that is, by providing the first grill 131 and the second grill 132 corresponding to the inlet grill 115 and the outlet grill 116, respectively, the respective moving distances of the first grill 131 and the second grill 132 are short, and the first grill 131 and the second grill 132 can quickly move to block the inlet port 113 and the outlet port 114 in response, thereby achieving the effect of closing the battery case 110.
In addition, since the first grill 131 is spaced apart from the front of the inlet grill 115 and the second grill 132 is spaced apart from the outlet grill 116 in the open position, there is no significant resistance to the flow of air. As shown in fig. 10, the first grid 131 and the inlet grid 115 at the upstream of the fuel cell stack 120 play a role of turbulence, so that the airflow entering the fuel cell stack 120 is more stable, the reaction of each unit cell is more uniform, and the life reduction phenomenon of the fuel cell stack 120 due to the non-uniform reaction can be improved to a certain extent.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the air-cooled fuel cell system further comprises a filtering device comprising an air screen 142, the air screen 142 being opposite the air inlet 113. As an example, as shown in fig. 1, the filtering means includes an air filter case 141 and an air filter 142, the air filter 142 is provided on the air filter case 141, the air filter case 141 is provided outside the battery case 110 and connected thereto, and the air filter 142 is opposite to the air inlet 113. The outside air passes through the empty filter 142 before entering the battery case 110, and the empty filter 142 is used to effectively reduce the concentration of harmful components in the cathode suction gas of the fuel cell.
The air-cooled fuel cell system includes a fan 143, and the fan 143 is located in the battery case 110 and provided on the side of the fuel cell stack 120 near the air outlet 114. The air passing through the fuel cell pair 120 is discharged from the air outlet 114 via the fan 143.
Further, the air-cooled fuel cell system comprises a moving device acting on the first and second louvers 131 and 132 for driving the first and second louvers 131 and 132 to move together between the open and closed positions. That is, the first grill 131 and the second grill 132 can be moved to the open position or to the closed position together using the moving device. It is understood that the first grill 131 and the second grill 132 move in opposite directions. When moving to the closed position, the first grill 131 and the second grill 132 move away from each other, and when moving to the open position, the first grill 131 and the second grill 132 move toward each other.

Specifically, in the embodiment shown in fig. 1 to 10, the first grill 131 includes two first push plates 1312, the two first push plates 1312 being respectively connected to both sides of the first grill portion 1311, the first push plates 1312 extending from the connection with the first grill portion 1311 in the direction of the gas flow toward the second grill 132. The second grill 132 includes two second push plates 1322, the two second push plates 1322 are respectively connected to both sides of the second grill portion 1321, and the second push plates 1322 extend from the connection with the second grill portion 1321 in the direction of the first grill 131 along the gas flow direction. The first 1312 and second 1322 push plates are both vertically disposed.
As shown in fig. 7 and 8, the first push plate 1312 has a first sliding groove 1313 formed on an outer side thereof, and the second push plate 1322 has a second sliding groove 1323 formed on an outer side thereof. First sliding groove 1313 and second sliding groove 1323 are both provided obliquely, and the inclination directions of first sliding groove 1313 and second sliding groove 1323 are opposite.
The moving device includes a push rod 151, a first roller 152 and a second roller 153, and the first roller 152 and the second roller 153 are connected to both ends of the push rod 151, respectively. The first roller 152 is slidably fitted in the first slide groove 1313, and the second roller 153 is slidably fitted in the second slide groove 1323. The push rod 151 is movably disposed along a first direction perpendicular to the gas flowing direction to drive the first and second louvers 131 and 132 to move together in the open and closed positions by driving the first and second rollers 152 and 153 to slide along the first and second sliding grooves 1313 and 1323, respectively.
In the present embodiment, the push rod 151 is horizontally disposed, and the first direction is a vertical direction. The moving device further comprises a driving device 154, a sliding block 155 and a screw 156, the sliding block 155 is arranged on the screw 156, the sliding block 155 is connected with the push rod 151, the screw 156 is located between the first grid 131 and the second grid 132 and extends along the first direction, the driving device 154 drives the screw 156 to rotate forward and backward through a coupler 157 to drive the sliding block 155 to move up and down along the screw 156, the sliding block 155 moves to drive the push rod 151 to move along the first direction, and then the first grid 131 and the second grid 132 are driven to move together. The embodiment adopts a group of moving devices to simultaneously realize the movement of the first grid 131 and the second grid 132, and has simple structure and reduced cost.
Alternatively, the drive 154 is a motor and the drive 145 is provided below the lead screw 156.
As shown in fig. 7, the driving device 145 drives the slider 155 to move downward, and both the first grid 131 and the second grid 132 move to the open position, i.e., the first grid 131 and the second grid 132 move toward each other. As shown in fig. 8, the driving device 145 drives the slider 155 to move upward, and both the first grid 131 and the second grid 132 move to the closed position, i.e., the first grid 131 and the second grid 132 move away from each other.
In order to improve the degree of automation and the reaction speed of the air-cooled fuel cell system, the air-cooled fuel cell system further includes a controller (not shown), in which sensors for flammable and explosive gases such as methane and hydrogen, and a temperature sensor (not shown) for measuring the temperature of the fuel cell stack 120 are installed in the battery case 110. When the concentration of a certain gas reaches 50% or more of the explosion limit or when the temperature of the fuel cell stack 120 exceeds the normal operating temperature, the controller sends a signal for closing the battery case 110 to the driving device 145, the driving device 145 operates to drive the slider 16 to move upward along the lead screw 156, the push rod 151 is driven to move upward, the first roller 151 and the second roller 153 slide upward along the first sliding groove 1313 and the second sliding groove 1323, respectively, and the first grid 131 and the second grid 132 are driven to move from the open position to the closed position, thereby closing the battery case 110. And then the controller controls the hydrogen inlet valve, the auxiliary power supply and the anode exhaust valve to be closed in sequence, so that the whole device is powered off, the whole battery system can be timely isolated from the outside under the condition of potential safety problems, and accidents such as explosion can be avoided.
When the controller sends a signal to the driving device 145 to open the battery pack 110, the driving device 145 operates to drive the slider 16 to move down along the lead screw 156, so as to drive the push rod 151 to move down, and the first roller 151 and the second roller 153 slide down along the first sliding groove 1313 and the second sliding groove 1323, respectively, so as to drive the first grill 131 and the second grill 132 to move from the closed position to the open position, thereby opening the battery pack 110. Since the opening between the moving grill and the fixed grill is small and the stroke of the slider 155 is short, the mechanical structure is designed such that the opening and closing of the battery case 110 can be completed in a short time, and a quick response can be achieved in an emergency.
Alternatively, in order to make the force applied symmetrical, the moving means may include two, which act on the left and right sides of the first grill 131 and the second grill 132, respectively, and cooperate based on the instruction.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 1, the battery box 110 includes a box body 111 and a box cover 112, the box cover 111 is fastened to the top opening of the box body 111 and is in threaded connection with the box body 111, and the box cover 111 can be opened at any time to perform maintenance on the components inside the battery box 110. In order to avoid the shifting of the moving grill during the moving process, two guide rails 117 extending along the moving direction of the moving grill are further disposed in the battery box 110, the lower surface of the box cover 112 is also provided with corresponding guide rails, the first push plate 1312 and the second push plate 1322 both move along the guide rails 117, and are limited by the guide rails 117, and can only move in one direction, so that the accurate movement of the front and rear push plates can be further ensured.
An auxiliary equipment box 160 is further installed at the bottom of the battery box 110, the auxiliary equipment box 160 is used for placing auxiliary lithium batteries, DC/DC, control boards and other equipment, and the hydrogen connection port 7 at the bottom of the battery box 110 is used for introducing a hydrogen pipeline into the anode of the fuel cell stack 120.
In order to ensure that the fuel cell system can be applied to mobile equipment such as a robot dog, an unmanned aerial vehicle and the like, the invention carries out lightweight design on the battery box while ensuring the strength of the battery box. As shown in fig. 1 to 10, the battery case 110 is a cylindrical shape, the air inlet 113 and the air outlet 114 are disposed on the sidewall of the case 111 and are opposite in the radial direction, and the fixed grill and the movable grill are arc-shaped.
Further, as shown in fig. 1, a winding layer 180 is wound around the side wall of the case 111, and the winding layer 180 inwardly presses the battery case. The winding layer 180 is used for applying an inward prestress to the case 111 so that the battery case 110 is always in a compressive stress state, and when the battery case 110 explodes, the prestress applied by the winding layer 180 can offset the tension brought to the battery case 110 by a large part of explosion, so that the tensile strength of the whole case is improved. The embodiment shown in FIG. 1 includes three wraps 180, with the three wraps 180 being spaced apart.
