Abstract:
A fuel cell vehicle is provided and includes a system frame on which a fuel cell is mounted and first and second side members extending in a first direction and facing each other in a second direction intersecting the first direction. A first fastening part fastens the system frame to each of the first and second side members. The system frame includes a first aperture formed therein in a horizontal direction. The first fastening part includes a first support bracket, including a second aperture, a first insertion hole, and a first tab portion extending from the first insertion hole in the horizontal direction, and a first bolt, including a first shank portion inserted into the first aperture, the second aperture, and the first insertion hole in the horizontal direction and a first threaded portion engaged with the first tab portion.
Abstract:
A structure for mounting a fuel cell stack in an enclosure or a frame includes a first mounting mechanism for fastening and mounting a first mounting part located at a first side of the fuel cell stack in a longitudinal direction of the stack, which is a cell stacking direction, to the enclosure or the frame in a completely fixing fashion, and a second mounting mechanism for mounting a second mounting part located at a second side of the fuel cell stack in the longitudinal direction of the stack to the enclosure or the frame in a state of being movable in the longitudinal direction of the stack.
Abstract:
A connector that may be prevented from detaching from separating plates of a stack even when vibrations or an external impact of a vehicle occurs by maintaining a locking state in which locking bosses of a CPA are inserted into lock grooves of terminals of separating plates. In addition, connecting points of connecting pieces of connecting terminals are spaced apart to not contact each other with respect to a contact line. The connecting terminals are not detached from the separating plates even when the separating plates is a ultra-slim film having a thickness of about 0.1 mm or less, making it possible to increase a reliability of a product.
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:
A fuel cell stack preventing deterioration of an end cell, which has a structure for preventing cooling of a neighbor cell adjacent to a closed end plate, is provided. To this end, an open end plate and a closed end plate, which are provided on a first side and a second side, respectively, of the fuel cell stack, fasten a plurality of working cells together. More specifically, a hollow flow space is formed in an inner wall of the closed end plate to form an air pocket therein.
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 vehicle includes a fuel cell, an air compressor configured to draw in and discharge air, a cooler configured to cool air discharged from the air compressor, a humidifier configured to humidify air cooled by the cooler and to supply the humidified air to the fuel cell, and a system frame on which the fuel cell is disposed. The system frame accommodates at least a portion of each of the cooler and the humidifier therein.
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 stack enclosure includes: a lower housing disposed under a fuel cell stack and having a bottom plate portion provided with a water outlet therein; a sealing cap closing the water outlet from an outside of the lower housing; and an elastic member elastically pulling the sealing cap toward the bottom plate portion of the lower housing.
