Abstract:
The present invention relates to a device for joining a fuel cell stack. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a device for joining a fuel cell stack capable of reducing the number of parts, simplifying a process for joining a stack and enhancing the torsional rigidity of the stack against vehicle vibration or impact load. To achieve the purpose, the present invention provides the device for joining a fuel cell stack which comprises a joining bar for connecting two end plates at both ends of the fuel cell stack at the position of the side surface of the fuel cell stack, wherein both end parts of the joining bar are inserted and fixed to the end parts of the two end plates by a female groove having an inner inclined plane and a protrusion part which is inserted and connected to the inner side of the female groove while having an inclined plane in a reverse-tapering shape against the inclined plane of the female groove.
Abstract:
A cell voltage measuring connector of a fuel cell stack maintains a locking state that a locking protrusion of a CPA is inserted into a lock home of a separation plate terminal in order to prevent the connector from being separated from a separation plate of the stack. As it has a structure that connection points of a connection piece of a connection terminal is overlapped with each other based on a contact line, the reliability of the product is increased even when the thickness of the separation plate becomes less than 0.1��according to a weight lightening trend of a fuel cell. In addition, when the connector needs to be separated for component replacement, it can be easily separated by inserting an end of a separation tool into a locking release hole of the CPA by using the tool and lifting up it to release the locking of the CPA.

PURPOSE: An end plate for a fuel cell is provided to prevent the bending phenomenon by a resin pressure in an injection molding by selecting a sandwich insert and a bending prevention plate. CONSTITUTION: An end plate for a fuel cell comprises a sandwich insert(100) of which a plurality of plates are attached by an attaching unit. A bending prevention plate(200) is attached to the surface of an injection mold(400) on the opposite side of the side of a sandwich insert where a resin pressure is directly applied. A plastic injection material(300) is injection molded and the bending prevention plate can support the sandwich insert which is applied by a resin pressure in the injection mold.

PURPOSE: A separator for a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell is provided to lower electricity contact resistance and to reduce energy loss by smoothening water circulation through reaction by increasing a hydrophilic property of the separator surface. CONSTITUTION: A method for manufacturing a separator for a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell comprises the steps of: supplying prepreg(10) and graphite foil(11); cutting the prepreg and graphite foil in a longitudinal direction of the separator to be manufactured; compressing the cut prepreg and graphite foil; heating and pressurizing the prepreg in which graphite foil is laminated in one body to form hydrogen, air, and cooling water channels through high temperature press(22), or passing through a hot roll press to prepare a separator(30); cutting unnecessary parts from a heated and pressurized separator; and performing post-curing treatment of the manufactured separator.
