優れた効果を奏し得る。Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fuel cell. [0002] A conventional fuel cell is, as shown in FIG.
The pedestal 2 is set inside the stack container 1, the heater plate 3 is placed on the pedestal 2, and the cells 4 are stacked in multiple layers on the heater plate 3, and another heater plate is placed on the cell 4. 5, a clamping device 6, which is inflated with air, is placed above the heater plate 5, and a holding member 7 is placed above the fastening device 6, and the holding member 7 and the pedestal 2 are placed. The cell 4 is fixedly held inside the stack container 1 by tightening a bolt 9 and a nut 9 ′ between the holding block 8 protruding from the side surface of the stack container 1 and expanding the fastening device 6. [0003] However, the conventional fuel cell has the following problems. That is, the cell 4 is simply stacked between the holding member 7 and the pedestal 2 and is only fixed by the bolt 9 and the nut 9 ' . 4 may move in the horizontal direction and come into contact with the stack container 1 or may be shifted from each other. The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and has as its object to provide a fuel cell capable of restraining horizontal movement of a cell. According to the present invention, cells 4 are stacked in multiple layers, and high rigidity heater plates 3 and 5 are arranged above and below the stacked cells 4 and these are bolted together with bolts 9 and 4. nut
In the fuel cell housed in the stack container 1, which is fastened and fixed in the vertical direction at 9 ′ , water from the sides of the heater plates 3 and 5
And forming projecting the supported member 12 toward the horizontal direction, the
Thermal expansion on the inner surface of the stack container 1 facing the supported member 12
Supported member 1 through a gap that allows elongation due to
2. The fuel cell according to claim 1, wherein a support member 13 that fits and locks with the projection 2 is protruded. According to the present invention, the supported member 12 projecting from the side of the heater plates 3 and 5 is fitted and locked by the supporting member 13 projecting from the inner surface of the stack container 1. So
The cells 4 are prevented from moving in the horizontal direction and coming into contact with the stack container 1 or being shifted from each other. An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 show an embodiment of the present invention. In the drawing, the same components as those in FIG. 3 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted. Hereinafter, only the configuration unique to the present invention will be described. A supported member 12 is formed so as to protrude in the horizontal direction from the side of the high-rigidity heater plates 3 and 5 disposed above and below the cell 4, and a star opposed to the supported member 12 is formed. A support member 13 that fits and locks on the inner surface of the container 1 with the supported member 12 to restrain the supported member 12 from moving in the horizontal direction.
To protrude. A slight gap is formed between the support member 13 and the supported member 12 so as to allow elongation due to thermal expansion. Further, if necessary, a supported member 14 similar to the above is formed so as to protrude from the side of the tightening device 6 and the holding member 7, and a fitting engagement with the supported member 14 is formed on the inner surface of the stack container 1. Then, a support member 15 for restraining the supported member 14 from moving in the horizontal direction is provided. A small gap 16 is provided between the supporting member 15 and the supported member 14 so as to allow elongation due to thermal expansion.
To form Further, a positioning projection 17 is formed on the upper surface of the tightening device 6, and a concave portion 18 is provided on the lower surface of the pressing member 7 so as to be fitted with the projection 17. Next, the operation will be described. The process of fixing and holding the cell 4 inside the stack container 1 is the same as that shown in FIG. When a horizontal force acts due to an earthquake or the like, the supported member 12 protruding from the side of the highly rigid heater plates 3 and 5 disposed above and below the cell 4.
Are fitted and locked by the support member 13 provided on the inner surface of the stack container 1, so that the cells 4 are prevented from moving in the horizontal direction and coming into contact with the stack container 1 or being shifted from each other. A supported member 14 similar to the above is formed so as to protrude from the side of the tightening device 6 and the holding member 7, and a support member 15 fitted and locked to the supported member 14 on the inner surface of the stack container 1. By projecting, the support for the cell 4 becomes more reliable. Further, the projections 17 are formed on the upper surface of the tightening device 6 and the concave portions 18 are formed on the lower surface of the holding member 7 so as to be fitted with the projections 17, so that the support for the cell 4 is further improved. It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and it is needless to say that various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. As described above, according to the fuel cell of the present invention, an excellent effect that the horizontal movement of the cell 4 can be restrained can be obtained.
