Description

Driving device of fuel cell electric vehicle
Technical Field
The invention relates to a fuel cell, in particular to a driving device of a fuel cell electric vehicle.
Background
An electrochemical fuel cell is a device capable of converting hydrogen and an oxidant into electrical energy and reaction products. The inner core component of the device is a Membrane Electrode (MEA), which is composed of a proton exchange Membrane and two porous conductive materials sandwiched between two surfaces of the Membrane, such as carbon paper. The membrane contains a uniform and finely dispersed catalyst,such as a platinum metal catalyst, for initiating an electrochemical reaction at the interface between the membrane and the carbon paper. The electrons generated in the electrochemical reaction process can be led out by conductive objects at two sides of the membrane electrode through an external circuit to form a current loop.
At the anode end of the membrane electrode, fuel can permeate through a porous diffusion material (carbon paper) and undergo electrochemical reaction on the surface of a catalyst to lose electrons to form positive ions, and the positive ions can pass through a proton exchange membrane through migration to reach the cathode end at the other end of the membrane electrode. At the cathode end of the membrane electrode, a gas containing an oxidant (e.g., oxygen), such as air, forms negative ions by permeating through a porous diffusion material (carbon paper) and electrochemically reacting on the surface of the catalyst to give electrons. The anions formed at the cathode end react with the positive ions transferred from the anode end to form reaction products.
In a pem fuel cell using hydrogen as the fuel and oxygen-containing air as the oxidant (or pure oxygen as the oxidant), the catalytic electrochemical reaction of the fuel hydrogen in the anode region produces hydrogen cations (or protons). The proton exchange membrane assists the migration of positive hydrogen ions from the anode region to the cathode region. In addition, the proton exchange membrane separates the hydrogen-containing fuel gas stream from the oxygen-containing gas stream so that they do not mix with each other to cause explosive reactions.
In the cathode region, oxygen gains electrons on the catalyst surface, forming negative ions, which react with the hydrogen positive ions transported from the anode region to produce water as a reaction product. In a proton exchange membrane fuel cell using hydrogen, air (oxygen), the anode reaction and the cathode reaction can be expressed by the following equations:
and (3) anode reaction:
and (3) cathode reaction:
in a typical pem fuel cell, a Membrane Electrode (MEA) is generally placed between two conductive plates, and the surface of each guide plate in contact with the MEA is die-cast, stamped, or mechanically milled to form at least one or more channels. The flow guide polar plates can be polar plates made of metal materials or polar plates made of graphite materials. The fluid pore channels and the diversion trenches on the diversion polar plates respectively guide the fuel and the oxidant into the anode area and the cathode area on two sides of the membrane electrode. In the structure of a single proton exchange membrane fuel cell, only one membrane electrode is present, and a guide plate of anode fuel and a guide plate of cathode oxidant are respectively arranged on two sides of the membrane electrode. The guide plates are used as current collector plates and mechanical supports at two sides of the membrane electrode, and the guide grooves on the guide plates are also used as channels for fuel and oxidant to enter the surfaces of the anode and the cathode and as channels for taking away water generated in the operation process of the fuel cell.
In order to increase the total power of the whole proton exchange membrane fuel cell, two or more single cells can be connected in series to form a battery pack in a straight-stacked manner or connected in a flat-laid manner to form a battery pack. In the direct-stacking and serial-type battery pack, two surfaces of one polar plate can be provided with flow guide grooves, wherein one surface can be used as an anode flow guide surface of one membrane electrode, and the other surface can be used as a cathode flow guide surface of another adjacent membrane electrode, and the polar plate is called a bipolar plate. A series of cells are connected together in a manner to form a battery pack. The battery pack is generally fastened together into one body by a front end plate, a rear end plate and a tie rod.
A typical battery pack generally includes: (1) the fuel (such as hydrogen, methanol or hydrogen-rich gas obtained by reforming methanol, natural gas and gasoline) and the oxidant (mainly oxygen or air) are uniformly distributed in the diversion trenches of the anode surface and the cathode surface; (2) the inlet and outlet of cooling fluid (such as water) and the flow guide channel uniformly distribute the cooling fluid into the cooling channels in each battery pack, and the heat generated by the electrochemical exothermic reaction of hydrogen and oxygen in the fuel cell is absorbed and taken out of the battery pack for heat dissipation; (3) the outlets of the fuel gas and the oxidant gas and the corresponding flow guide channels can carry out liquid and vapor water generated in the fuel cell when the fuel gas and the oxidant gas are discharged. Typically, all fuel, oxidant, and cooling fluid inlets and outlets are provided in one or both end plates of the fuel cell stack.
The proton exchange membrane fuel cell can be used as a power system of vehicles, ships and other vehicles, and can also be used as a movable and fixed power generation device.
When the proton exchange membrane fuel cell can be used as a vehicle power system, a ship power system or a mobile and fixed power station, the proton exchange membrane fuel cell must comprise a cell stack, a fuel hydrogen supply system, an air supply subsystem, a cooling and heat dissipation subsystem, an automatic control part and an electric energy output part.
For example, fig. 1 shows a typical fuel cell power generation system, in fig. 1, 1 is a fuel cell stack, 2 is a hydrogen storage bottle or other hydrogen storage device, 3 is a pressure reducing valve, 4 is an air filtering device, 5 is an air compression supply device, 6', 6 are water-vapor separators, 7 is a water tank, 8 is a cooling fluid circulation pump, 9 is a radiator, 10 is a hydrogen circulation pump, and 11, 12 are hydrogen and air humidifying devices.
The power generation principle of a fuel cell is actually that hydrogen fuel in the fuel cell is combined with oxygen in the supply air to the fuel cell to generate water, and this chemical reaction process is a process in which most of chemical energy is converted into electrical energy. The speed at which the fuel cell generates electricity is affected by many factors:
1. the speed and sufficiency of supplying hydrogen fuel, air to the fuel cell;
2. the diffusion rate of hydrogen, oxygen in air, to the electrodes in the fuel cell;
3. the catalytic reaction speed of hydrogen and oxygen in the air in the electrode;
the above three points are related to the design of the power generation capacity of the fuel cell itself.
Generally, when a variable power condition such as starting or accelerating of a fuel cell electric vehicle occurs, or when a user supplied from a fuel cell power plant is loaded, the response of the required fuel cell output power also changes.
Although the design of the rated output power of the fuel cell, that is, the power generation capacity of the fuel cell itself, generally meets the requirement of the maximum power requirement of the vehicle-mounted power source or the power station, when the output power of the fuel cell changes, the output voltage also changes greatly due to the three polarization effects of the fuel cell itself. In general, fuel cell power output increases with increasing current output. A typical one is the 10KW fuel cell volt-ampere-power output curve, as shown in figure 2. A typical volt-ampere-power output curve of a 10KW fuel cell power generation system, from which it can be seen that the fuel cell power generation system, as a power source for an on-vehicle power source, outputs a voltage that varies greatly when the power output varies.
Therefore, when a fuel cell power generation system is used as a power source of a vehicle-mounted power source, a driving system thereof often needs a dc-dc conversion voltage stabilizer, and fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a driving system of an electric vehicle using a general fuel cell as a power source. In fig. 3, 100 is a fuel cell power generation system (current and voltage are output by positive and negative electrodes), 20 is a first dc-dc conversion voltage stabilizer, 30 is a vehicle speed controller of an electric vehicle drive motor, 40 is an electric vehicle drive motor, and 50 is a pedal.
The electric vehicle driving system mainly comprises a power supply, namely a fuel cell power generation system 100, wherein the output voltage of the fuel cell power generation system is greatly changed along with the increase of current, and the output voltage is firstly subjected to voltage reduction or voltage increase and stabilization through a first direct current-direct current conversion device 20(DC/DC), and the speed of the electric vehicle driving motor is controlled according to the power demand of a driver on a pedal 50, and the controller drives the electric vehicle driving motor 40 to operate.
The electric vehicle driving system has the following technical defects:
1.20, 30 are voltage regulators, each of which has large power loss, so that the energy conversion efficiency of the whole driving system is reduced;
2.20, 30 are expensive and take up a lot of space, weight;
3.20, 30 each device has limited reliability and stability.

The operation principle of the present invention is shown in fig. 4, and the electric drive system mainly outputs power from a power source fuel cell power generation system 100, and since the output voltage of the fuel cell power generation system is greatly changed with the increase of current, a direct current-direct current conversion device (DC-DC) which can be completely adapted to the range between the highest voltage (at the time of minimum current) and the lowest voltage (at the time of maximum current) output from the fuel cell is used to directly drive an electric vehicle drive motor 40. The driver transmits a driving command through the foot pedal 50 through the vehicle speed controller to weak electric signals (sensing signals from the current sensor and the foot pedal) and controls the voltage output of the motor 20, and directly drives the main motor 40.
Compared with the prior art, the technical scheme of the invention has the following advantages:
1. the main circuit of the driving system of the novel electric vehicle reduces a voltage conversion device and reduces the power self-loss;
2. a main circuit of the driving system reduces a power device with larger volume and weight, and replaces the main circuit with a vehicle speed controller 4 with smaller volume, smaller weight and inexpensive price for weak electric signal conversion;
3. the main circuit (strong current circuit) of the driving system reduces one power device and increases the reliability. A signal conversion device, namely a vehicle speed controller, is adopted in the weak current circuit, so that the overall reliability of the electric vehicle is improved.
4. The vehicle speed controller controls the output power to the U2 (power device) and can be controlled by the pedal and the current sensor signal simultaneously or in a cross mode. Sometimes, the pedal is stepped too hard, the vehicle speed controller is controlled by the current sensor, and thus the output power of the fuel cell power generation system can be controlled more smoothly.
