A sealed location auxiliary structure for sealing positioning seal groove and seal part
Technical Field
The utility model belongs to the technical field of fuel cell's technique and specifically relates to a sealed location auxiliary structure for sealing positioning seal groove and seal part, in particular to its mechanical connection structure.
Background
The essence of a fuel cell is that hydrogen and oxygen, which are essential reaction raw materials for the fuel cell, electrochemically react to generate electric energy. The two gases enter the fuel cell to carry out precise chemical reaction, and specific reaction areas, reaction amount, reaction product discharge and the like need to be well controlled. In this process, the sealing control of the two gases is important. Therefore, the long-term effectiveness of the sealing member, which serves as an important component of the fuel cell and serves to seal the gas therein, is a prerequisite for ensuring long-term reliable operation of the fuel cell.
The sealing grooves of the existing metal plate generally have two forms, one is a groove structure flush with the recess under the flow field region (as shown in fig. 11), and the other is a protrusion structure similar to the protrusion of the flow field region (as shown in fig. 12), and the corresponding sealing components are mostly structures with rectangular cross sections or similar shapes as shown in fig. 1. This structure is susceptible to lateral misalignment when mated with a seal slot, and this problem has not been solved or even studied. This results in stacking of multiple layers of plates upon stacking, due to the offset of the seal structure (as shown in fig. 2), deformation of the plates upon compression, and uneven application of contact stress on the seal surface, with the part with too low contact stress being an important cause of failure of the fuel cell seal, which seriously affects the reliability of the seal structure. Intuitively, during simulation, the contact stress is unevenly distributed on the contact surface due to the seal misalignment, the seal member is unevenly deformed, and related members such as the electrode plate and the proton membrane frame are all distorted (as shown in fig. 13). This not only causes the aforementioned sealing failure problem, but also may cause the cracking of the electrode plate, the plastic deformation of the proton membrane frame, etc., which seriously affects the safe use of the fuel cell. In view of the above, the current sealing structure is problematic in application, and there is room for improvement in ensuring the sealing reliability, and an auxiliary structure capable of performing sealing positioning is required to perform improvement, so as to improve the robustness of the metal sealing structure of the fuel cell.
