Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for producing a bipolar plate, comprising at least two plate elements connected to one another.
- the invention relates to a laser processing device for producing a bipolar plate.
- a fuel cell for example, consists of up to 200 bipolar plates that are joined together in a fluid-tight manner.
- Laser beam welding has established itself as a joining technology, but there is a lack of suitable process sensors to achieve 100% tightness under series production conditions.
- the cause of leaks can be, for example, inaccuracies in the clamping technology and the positioning of the laser beam. Individual leaks lead to high reject rates and are one of the reasons for the high costs of fuel cell technology.
- EP1504482B1 discloses a method for producing a bipolar plate for fuel cell systems, the metal sections being connected by laser beam welding.
- the plate-shaped metal sections are arranged on top of each other without a gap during the laser welding and to reduce the Due to the heat input during welding, the weld seams are designed as linear sections that are spaced apart from one another.
- DE102016200387A1 discloses a method for producing a bipolar plate, the separator plates being bonded to one another and the energy for the connection being supplied via the outer sides of both separator plates.
- DE102005001303B4 also discloses a method for joining at least a first metal sheet and a second metal sheet by means of laser welding.
- DE102010021982A1 discloses an arrangement for the hermetically sealed connection of fuel cell bipolar plates by means of laser transmission welding.
- a disadvantage of the prior art is that the laser processing beam cannot be guided to a specific position of a geometric feature of a bipolar plate in order to be able to produce fluid-tight bipolar plates in this way.
- the lack of positioning of the laser processing beam results in high reject rates and a lower output in bipolar plate production.
- the invention is based on the object of providing a method and a laser processing device by means of which bipolar plates can be produced with greater accuracy and in particular with greater tightness than is known from the prior art.
- the plate elements of the bipolar plate extend along a longitudinal extent of the beads and in a transverse direction arranged perpendicular thereto.
- the weld connection on the workpiece is formed by a laser machining beam, the high-energy machining beam being movable in a machining direction relative to the workpiece at a machining speed.
- the processing direction is oriented parallel to the longitudinal extension of the bead.
- the laser processing beam can be deflected and/or moved back and forth in a transverse direction oriented transversely and in particular perpendicularly to the processing direction.
- a zigzag or serpentine weld seam can be created by moving the laser processing beam back and forth.
- a depth direction is oriented in particular perpendicularly to the transverse direction and to the longitudinal extension of the bead.
- a depth of a bead at a specific position of the bead is to be understood in particular as a distance oriented in the depth direction between an upper side of the first plate element and this position of the bead.
- the laser processing beam By detecting a geometric feature located in a direction transverse to the longitudinal extent of the at least one bead, a deepest point and/or a point of defined depth of the bead, the laser processing beam can be arranged in a precise position.
- a fluid-tight connection between the first panel element and the second panel element can be produced by means of the exact positioning of the laser processing beam in the bead.
- a tight cooling channel can be formed in at least one bead of a plate element. This leads to a reduction in rejects in the production of bipolar plates and the test effort of several minutes to check the tightness of each bipolar plate.
- the geometric feature is detected by means of a measuring beam optically and/or without contact, in particular by means of an optical coherence tomograph, also called OCT (optical coherence tomography).
- OCT optical coherence tomography
- the measurement information detected by means of the optical coherence tomograph comprises height information of a measurement point at the respective measurement position, i. H. topographical information of the plate element and/or information regarding the penetration depth of the laser processing beam.
- the geometric feature is recorded coaxially to the laser processing beam by means of the optical coherence tomograph.
- the optical coherence tomograph provides a reference beam and the measurement beam, the reference beam being reflected at a reference mirror of the optical coherence tomograph, the measurement beam being reflected at a first plate element, and the reflected reference beam and the reflected measurement beam for generation be superimposed on an evaluation signal.
- an evaluation signal generated by the optical coherence tomograph has information regarding a depth of the bead along the transverse direction.

- the geometric feature of the bead of the first plate element is the deepest point of the bead and/or a point of defined depth of the bead. This has the advantage that the measuring beam is positioned in such a way that it measures at a point with a defined depth and the laser processing beam is readjusted at the point with a defined depth for welding the first and second plate element in order to achieve a flawless weld seam.
- a symmetry criterion of the bead can be used for the geometric feature.
- the geometric feature can be a center of the bead with respect to a transverse direction oriented to the longitudinal extension of the bead.
- first plate element and the second plate element are arranged clamped to one another before the weld connection is formed.
- Clamping during an upstream method step can be done, for example, by clamps, clamping devices or stops and has the advantage that the plate elements can be aligned with one another and correctly positioned before the weld connection is formed.
- first plate member and the second plate member may be spot welded or stitch welded, for example, prior to forming the welded joint to achieve mating with each other.
- the pre-assembly can be used to counteract gaps between the first plate member and the second plate member and allow for adequate welds.
- At least one bead of the first plate element and at least one bead of the second plate element are arranged as mirror images of one another, and/or a cavity for forming a channel, in particular a cooling channel, is formed between beads that are adjacent to one another in the transverse direction.

- only one of the panel elements can have beads and the second panel element can be flat.
- Webs are formed between two beads that are adjacent in a longitudinal extension. If the first plate element and the second plate element have beads and thus webs in the longitudinal extension, the plate elements are advantageously positioned relative to one another in a preceding method step such that one bead of the first plate element and one bar of the second plate element are opposite. In this case, there does not have to be any mechanical contact between the web and the bead, with an intermediate space being counteracted.
- the deepest point of a bead of a first plate element is preferably the support point for the second plate element and thus the preferred welding position if a second plate element has been positioned accordingly beforehand.
- the cooling channel between the plate elements can have one or more openings for coolant supply and/or removal.
- the welded connection between the first plate element and the second plate element is designed to be fluid-tight. This has the advantage that the number of rejects in the production of the bipolar plates and the test effort of several minutes for the tightness of the bipolar plates can be reduced.
- a laser processing beam with a wavelength of at least 350 nm and/or at most 1100 nm can be used to weld the first plate element and the second plate element.
- the first and/or the second plate element comprise or are made of a metallic, graphitic, ceramic or polymeric material.

- the measuring beam generated by means of the optical coherence tomograph is moved relative to the plate element and independently of the laser processing beam by means of at least one measuring beam deflection device.

- the independent movement of the measuring beam from the laser processing beam has the advantage that the measuring beam can be steered to any position of the plate element independently of the processing beam in order to detect geometric features at desired positions.
- the position of the measuring beam can be in the processing direction of the laser processing device, progressively in front of the laser processing beam (pre-measuring position), coaxial to the laser processing beam (in-measuring position) or following the laser processing beam (post-measuring position).
- the measuring beam generated by the optical coherence tomograph is arranged in a processing direction at a distance (d) in front of the laser processing beam, with the processing direction being oriented parallel to the longitudinal extension of the bead.
