Each of collectors 22 of an electrode structure 20, which partially constitutes a polymer electrolyte fuel cell, is formed from a metal lath MR having a large number of through-holes. A stopping portion 22a in which the through-holes are reduced in diameter is formed at a peripheral end portion of the collector 22. The peripheral end portion of the collector 22 is folded; subsequently, the folded peripheral end portion is pressed, thereby forming the stopping portion 22a. A resin seal portion 23 for sealing introduced fuel gas and oxidizer gas is formed integrally with the stopping portions 22a by insert molding which is performed such that an injected molten resin encloses the stopping portions 22a. The resin seal portion 23 formed integrally with the stopping portions 22a can reliably prevent inflow of the molten resin toward central portions of the collectors 22.

There is provided a fuel cell having a seal structure that has high gas sealability and, further, is capable of supplying gas to a membrane electrode assembly without being path-cut even if there are conventional processing errors (variations) in the gasket. With respect to a gasket 5 provided at the periphery of the membrane electrode assembly, a first seal protrusion 51 is formed around a manifold 6. A notch 31 is formed at an end portion of a gas flow path layer 3. An end portion of the gasket 5 blocks the notch 31 and has at least one second seal protrusion 52 protruding from the surface of the gas flow path layer 3 and having a height of the same level as or less than the first seal protrusion 51. A separator 4 is in contact with the gas flow path layer 3 in a posture where the first seal protrusion 51 and the second seal protrusion 52 are compressed. At least one linear seal structure is formed by the second seal protrusion 52 and the separator 4.

A fuel cell includes a membrane electrode assembly (MEA) having an electrolyte membrane and a pair of electrodes arranged on both sides of the electrolyte membrane in the thickness direction, a pair of frames having a frame shape and holding an outer periphery portion of the electrolyte membrane, a pair of gas diffusion layers arranged inside the pair of frames and on both sides of the MEA in the thickness direction, and a gasket covering at least a part of the pair of frames. The fuel cell further includes a first cross-linking adhesive member formed of rubber which includes a membrane accommodating portion having an indented shape for accommodating the outer periphery portion of the electrolyte membrane and a first intermediate portion interposed between the pair of frames and which is subjected to cross-linking adhesion with the outer periphery portion of the electrolyte membrane and the pair of frames.

摘要:
The deformation of a plate-like member (a separator) or the degradation of a seal function due to heat generated during power generation is suppressed. To realize this, disclosed is a heat insulation cell for a fuel cell in which an insulation layer is constituted of one or more plate-like members and a seal member, the heat insulation cell being provided with a communication section which is disposed in at least a part of a seal line formed by the seal member to seal the insulation layer and the outside of the cell and which connects the insulation layer to the outside. A portion provided with the communication section in at least one of the plate-like members preferably has a projection. It is also preferable that the insulation layer is formed by an insulation member and that the insulation member is disposed in the communication section.

A rubber gasket to be disposed in a compressed state between separators of a fuel cell includes a sealing portion having a sectional shape of a two-projection structure with a first projection having a curved slope of a first curvature radius (D), and a second projection provided on the first projection and having a second curvature radius (H). A pedestal portion extends in a horizontal direction with a predetermined thickness continuously from a foot portion of the curved slope of the first projection and has a flat bottom surface.
摘要:
An apparatus for feedback adjusting the working condition of a working machine on the basis of measured dimensions of processed workpieces, including a determining device for determining automatic and manual compensating values, and an applying device for applying the automatic and manual compensating values (Ui, U') to a machine controller for adjusting the machine working condition. The determining device determines the automatic compensating value on the basis of first or second estimated dimensional values of the workpieces obtained in an automatic compensating cycle. Each first estimated dimensional value is a sum of an actually measured dimension (X) of the workpiece and a last compensating value (U'), while each second estimated dimensional value is a sum of the actually measured dimension, the last compensating value and a previous compensating value (Ui-2, Ui-1) preceding the last compensating value. Also disclosed is a method of feedback adjusting the machine working condition.
摘要:
A fuel cell diagnostic apparatus that diagnoses a fuel cell in which a plurality of power generating cells are stacked together includes a voltage applying device that applies voltage from outside of the fuel cell; a magnetic field measuring device that measures a magnetic field in or around the fuel cell when external voltage is being applied; and a diagnostic device that diagnoses the state of the fuel cell from the measurement results of the magnetic field. By diagnosing an in-plane distribution of current in the power generating cells by measuring the magnetic field, the distribution of water in an electrolyte membrane after power is generated can be diagnosed based on the diagnostic results of that in-plane distribution of the current.
