    摘要: A sealing structure in a fuel cell comprises a pair of separators including gas passages and a membrane electrode assembly held by the pair of separators and having a polymerized electrolytic membrane and a electrode layer so as to form a fuel cell. The sealing structure seals a sealing portion between the pair of the separators and the polymerized electrolytic membrane. A sealing groove is provided to the sealing portion of one of the separators, and a first seal has a thickness greater than the depth of the sealing groove and a portion which is gradually narrowed toward an end thereof. A protrusion is provided to the sealing portion of the other separator, and a second seal having a constant width is provided to the front surface of the protrusion. The polymerized electrolytic membrane is held by the first seal and the second seal.

    摘要: A method for fabricating a seal-integrated separator for a fuel cell is presented, with which seals can be accurately positioned and the assembling time for the fuel cell units may be greatly reduced. The method comprises the steps of: forming a through hole in the separator body; providing a first mold having grooves respectively positioned corresponding to the inner and outer seals disposed on one side of the separator body, a connecting cavity for forming a seal bridge at least partially connecting the inner and outer seals to each other at a position corresponding to the through hole, and at least one gate communicating with each of the grooves, and a second mold having grooves respectively positioned corresponding to the inner and outer seals disposed on the other side of the separator body, and a connecting cavity for forming a seal bridge at least partially connecting the inner and outer seals to each other at a position corresponding to the through hole; holding the separator body between the first mold and the second mold; and injecting melted seal material to form the seals into each of the grooves in the first mold by supplying the melted seal material into the gate and injecting a portion of the melted seal material into each of the grooves in the second mold via the through hole. Through this method, a seal-integrated separator having first to fourth seals which are integrated on both sides of the separator body is fabricated.
