An electrode substrate used for a fuel electrode or an air electrode of a fuel cell is cut on one side to provide a groove for allowing fuel gas or air to flow through a porous and air-permeable carbon plate. At this time, chips generated at the time of cutting enter the porous material of the electrode base material and impair the air permeability. Therefore, it is necessary to remove the chips in order to improve the gas permeability.

In the conventional ultrasonic cleaning and drying process, which removes chips generated during cutting from the electrode base material, the electrode base material is immersed in a liquid and then heated and dried. As a result, the flatness is impaired, so that in the assembly of the fuel cell, inconveniences such as damage to the electrode base material due to the tightening pressure at the time of laminating the electrodes may occur. In addition, frequent replacement of the cleaning liquid and disposal of the waste liquid required a lot of cost, and much time was required for the drying treatment.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described based on examples. FIG. 1 is a layout view of a fuel cell electrode substrate cleaning apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. In this figure, an electrode substrate 1 containing cutting chips at the time of cutting, which is disposed on the upper part of a grid plate 3 with a cut groove, has a compressed air inlet 8 through a gasket 7 on the upper part thereof. A hood 2 is installed, and a suction hood 6 installed on a base 9 via a grid plate 3 is attached to a lower portion of the hood 2. The lower part of this suction hood 6 is the first wind tunnel
Filter 4 connected to this wind tunnel and second wind tunnel 11 connected to 10
Is sandwiched. The second wind tunnel 11 is connected to the vacuum pump 5, and exhaust from the pump is exhausted from an exhaust port 21 attached to the pump. In the apparatus having such a configuration, when the vacuum pump 5 is operated to supply compressed air to the compressed air hood 2 from the compressed air inlet 8, the electrode base material 1 containing cutting chips in the hole is cut into grooves. Compressed air enters through the porous vents on the back side of the carbon plate, and blows off the cutting chips accumulated in the holes near the cut grooves to clean them. The chips separated from the electrode substrate 1 enter the suction hood 6 together with the compressed air and reach the filter 4 through the first wind tunnel 10, where they are collected and only the remaining compressed air enters the vacuum pump 5 and is exhausted. Exhausted from mouth 21.

Since the present invention does not have a step of dipping the electrode base material in a liquid or drying by heat as described above, the flatness after cleaning processing of the chips is not impaired, and the electrode base material is incorporated into a fuel cell as a high quality electrode base material. I can do it. Further, since the chips separated from the electrode base material can be collected by a filter and easily taken out and processed, the trouble and cost of processing and separating the washing waste liquid as in the conventional example can be saved. In addition, as in the conventional example, a long processing time of immersing in a cleaning liquid, applying ultrasonic vibration, and drying in a drying oven can be greatly reduced, and the working efficiency can be increased.
