Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by a person skilled in the art without creative efforts belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
Referring to fig. 1-2, an embodiment of the present invention provides a collector plate for a fuel cell stack, including a collector plate body 11 and a connecting member; the connecting part comprises a first connecting part 12, a second connecting part 13 and a third connecting part 14;
one end of the first connecting portion 12 is connected to one side of the collector body 11 through a bendable first bending portion; the other end of the first connecting part 12 is connected with one end of the second connecting part 13 through a second bending part which can be bent; the other end of the second connecting part 13 is connected with one end of the third connecting part 14 through a bendable third bending part; the third connecting portion 14 is provided with at least one connecting hole 15.
In one embodiment, the current collecting plate 1 is configured as: the plane of the first connecting part 12 is parallel to the plane of the collector body 11; the plane of the second connecting part 13 is perpendicular to the plane of the collector plate body 11; the collector plate body 11 has a rectangular plate-like structure. Therefore, the structure of the collector plate 1 is more regular and stable, and the reduction of the external packaging volume of the pile is facilitated.
It is understood that the connecting member and the collecting plate body 11 may be on the same plane before bending the three connecting portions of the connecting member, so the collecting plate 1 may be cut from the same plate at the time of production, and thus, the thickness of the collecting plate body 11, the first connecting portion 12, the second connecting portion 13, and the third connecting portion 14 is the same.
In one embodiment, the attachment holes 15 are screw holes; the number of the screw holes is two, and the distance between the two screw holes and the collector plate body 11 is the same. The third connecting portion 14 may be fastened to the connecting groove of the end plate after passing through the insertion hole from one side of the end plate of the stack, and screws are screwed into two screw holes of the third connecting portion 14 and two fixing connection holes of the connecting groove of the end plate to fixedly connect the connecting member and the end plate when mounting.
Referring to fig. 3-4, it should be noted that, because the current collecting plate 1 adopts the upper current collecting mode or the side current collecting mode, the current collecting area is not very large because of the influence of the external package of the stack. As shown in fig. 3, the overcurrent area of the current collecting plate 1 adopting the upper current collecting mode is S ═ L × H, and when the thickness (H) of the current collecting plate 1 is consistent, since the upper current collecting is limited by the stack structure, L cannot be too large, the overcurrent area is limited, if the overcurrent amount is increased, only the thickness H of the current collecting plate 1 can be increased, the production cost of the current collecting plate 1 is increased, and the increase of the thickness of the current collecting plate 1 also increases the external package volume of the stack, thereby indirectly reducing the volumetric specific power density.
The utility model discloses a current collector 1 adopts the mode of middle part mass flow, because the L of middle part mass flow mode is not influenced by the outside packaging structure of pile, as long as L no longer than current collector 1 the width can, can guarantee enough overcurrent area under the condition of the 1 thickness of the same current collector. Therefore, the utility model discloses an improve the mass flow mode of the structure of current collector plate 1 in order to change current collector plate 1, can increase current collector plate 1's overcurrent area under the prerequisite that does not increase the outside encapsulation volume of galvanic pile, can guarantee sufficient overcurrent area under the condition of the same volume of galvanic pile to volume ratio power density has been improved.
The foregoing is a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and it should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, a plurality of improvements and decorations can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and decorations are also considered as the protection scope of the present invention.
