具体实施方式
下面结合附图和具体实施方式对本发明作进一步说明。
如图1-4所示,质子交换膜燃料电池双极板的长轴两侧分设有阳极气体入口110、阳极气体出口120,且阳极单板100上设有与阳极气体入口110、阳极气体出口120连通的阳极反应区,阳极反应区由多个相互平行且紧密排列的阳极流道140构成,阳极流道140为蛇形弯曲结构,阳极流道140两端分设有阳极气体入口通道130、阳极气体出口通道150,阳极气体入口通道130与阳极气体入口110连通,阳极气体出口通道150与阳极气体出口120连通,阳极气体入口110的数量少于阳极气体入口通道130,阳极气体出口120数量少于阳极气体出口通道150。
质子交换膜燃料电池双极板短轴两侧分设有阴极气体入口210、阴极气体出口220,阴极气体入口210和阴极气体出口220均包括沿质子交换膜燃料电池双极板长轴方向排列的至少两个,且阴极单板200上设有与阴极气体入口210、阴极气体出口220连通的阴极反应区;阴极气体从阴极气体入口210进入到阴极单板200后从阴极气体入口互通通道280进入到阴极气体入口通道230,然后从阴极气体入口通道230流入阴极气体入口 分配区240,在阴极气体入口分配区240将阴极气体均匀分配后进入阴极反应区,在阴极反应区反应后流入阴极气体出口分配区250,在阴极气体出口分配区250均匀分配之后进入到阴极气体出口通道260,随后从阴极气体出口通道260流至阴极气体出口互通通道290,最后阴极气体从阴极气体出口220流出。
阴极反应区具有朝向背离阳极单板100一侧的凸块271,各凸块271沿质子交换膜燃料电池双极板长轴方向排列成行,凸块271沿质子交换膜燃料电池双极板长轴方向的长度为1~2mm,各行凸块271再沿质子交换膜燃料电池双极板短轴方向排列,凸块271沿质子交换膜燃料电池双极板短轴方向的宽度为0.5~1mm,凸块上斜面的倾斜角度为10°~30°;每一行凸块271中各凸块271间隔排列,且相邻凸块271之间的间隔小于凸块271沿质子交换膜燃料电池双极板长轴方向的长度;相邻两行凸块271之间错位设置,使其中一行凸块271对准另一行凸块271的间隙;同一行凸块271中的间隙以及相邻两行凸块271之间形成阴极流道270;且凸块271在沿质子交换膜燃料电池双极板短轴方向上中间高、前后低形成前后两面斜面,相邻两行凸块271之间间隙排列或者斜面的一部分重叠排列。
质子交换膜燃料电池双极板短轴两侧分设有冷却液入口310、冷却液出口320,冷却液经冷却液入口310流入冷却液入口互通通道330,经冷却液入口互通通道330后流经整个质子交换膜燃料电池双极板后仅冷却液出口互通通道340后从冷却液出口320流出。
冷却液流场由阳极单板100与阴极单板200间空腔形成,冷却液流场两侧贴合结构,一侧为条状流场,一侧为倾斜单元流场,条状流场有利于冷却液的横向流动,倾斜单元流场有利于冷却液的多向扩散,使冷却液在空腔内部均匀分布,均衡双极板整体温度,有利于双极板散热。
此外,与阴极气体入口分配区240、阴极气体出口分配区250相接合的阳极单板100区域为条状凸起结构,相互接合空腔形成冷却液入/出口分配区,且该条状凸起区域与阳极气体反应区被阳极单板100密封条隔离,形成特殊的分配区域,在形成冷却液进/出口分配区的同时不影响阳极气体反应区域,且不影响阳极气体的密封与分配。
同时冷却液入口310与阴极气体入口210设于短轴的同一侧,冷却液出口320与阴极气体出口220设于相对的另一侧,且冷却液入口310与冷 却液出口320对角设置,阴极气体入口210与阴极气体出口220对角设置。
具体使用时,质子交换膜燃料电池双极板沿短轴方向竖向设置,即质子交换膜燃料电池双极板的短轴与放置面垂直,且阴极气体入口210、冷却液入口310位于上侧,阴极气体出口220、冷却液出口320位于质子交换膜燃料电池双极板下侧,阴极气体由上往下流动、冷却液由上往下流动。
