Abstract:
A bus plate unit is provided. The bus plate unit electrically connects a unit stack for a fuel cell having a (+) and a (−) stack terminal at both sides. The unit includes a (+) bus plate having a first end portion bent toward a first side surface of the unit stack and electrically coupled to a (+) stack terminal of the unit stack. A second end portion has a (+) bus terminal and abuts an upper first side of the unit stack. A (−) bus plate has a first end portion bent toward a second side surface of the unit stack and electrically coupled to the (−) stack terminal of the unit stack. A second end portion provides a (−) bus terminal and is proximate to the upper second side of the unit stack. An insulating layer encloses a surface of the (+) bus plate and the (−) bus plate.
Abstract:
An apparatus for preventing deformation of a fuel cell stack is provided. The apparatus includes a support unit, respective ends of which are connected to first endplates of a pair of stacked fuel cell stacks. The apparatus further includes a support protrusion that protrudes from a surface of the support unit and extends through a gap between the pair of fuel cell stacks.
Abstract:
An apparatus for preventing a bolt release includes: a nut hole formed in a body; and an insulating part formed integrally with a bolt coupled to the nut hole and contacting the body, where a plurality of protruded slopes are formed along a circumference of a bonding surface among a plurality of bonding surfaces between the body and the insulating part according to a relative magnitude of hardness or friction coefficient between the body and the insulating part when the bolt is coupled.
Abstract:
The present invention features a fuel cell stack that preferably includes an electricity generating assembly having a plurality of unit cells that are suitably disposed one after another; a pair of end plates pressedly disposed respectively at upper and lower ends of the electricity generating assembly; and a joining device suitably engaging the end plates by a rope, where pressure is applied to the electricity generating assembly by means of tension of the rope, and the length and tension of the rope is suitably controlled.
Abstract:
A fuel cell includes a cell stack including a plurality of unit cells stacked in a first direction; a first end plate including a guide through-hole formed therein, the first end plate being disposed on one end of two ends of the cell stack; a second end plate including a guide support hole formed therein, the guide support hole overlapping the guide through-hole in the first direction, the second end plate being disposed on an opposite end of the two ends of the cell stack; and an enclosure surrounding a side portion between the two ends of the cell stack together with the first end plate and the second end plate, the enclosure being formed as a unitary structure. The enclosure includes a body surrounding the side portion of the cell stack and first and second ends coupled to the first end plate and the second end plate, respectively.
Abstract:
A fuel cell vehicle includes a fuel cell frame including an outer frame and an inner frame disposed inside the outer frame, an upper structure disposed on the fuel cell frame, and a lower structure disposed under the fuel cell frame. The inner frame is formed in the shape of a partition dividing an inner space surrounded by the outer frame into a plurality of hollows.
Abstract:
A fuel cell having a structure for detachably mounting a cell-monitoring connector thereon includes separators arranged to be spaced apart from each other in a first direction, each of the separators including a receiving recess arranged in one side thereof, and hook-shaped gaskets respectively disposed on the separators and located around the receiving recess. The cell-monitoring connector includes a housing, at least a portion of the housing being received in a receiving space defined by the receiving recess, and connection terminals inserted into the housing to be connected to the separators. The housing includes a body inserted into the receiving space in a second direction that intersects the first direction, and a lever portion including a latching protrusion configured to be latched to or separated from a corresponding gasket among the hook-shaped gaskets by a pressing operation.

Abstract:
A laser welding apparatus for laser-welding a first welding target and a second welding target seated on the first welding target includes a first jig on which the first welding target is seated, a second jig configured to press the first welding target such that the first welding target is adhered to the first jig, a third jig configured to press the second welding target such that the second welding target is adhered to the first welding target, one or more connection members connecting the second jig and the third jig such that the second welding target is pressed by the second jig when the first welding target is pressed by the first jig, and a laser head configured to laser-weld the first welding target and the second welding target by irradiating a laser beam to a specific welding part of the second welding target.
Abstract:
An apparatus for preventing moisture condensation includes a fuel cell stack and an enclosure in which the fuel cell stack is disposed. A heater and a temperature sensor are provided in the enclosure. A controller is configured to control the heater to be turned on when an insulation resistance between the fuel cell stack and the enclosure is less than a preset resistance value. The controller controls the heater not to be turned on when a surface temperature of the enclosure measured by the temperature sensor exceeds a preset temperature.
