Abstract
A fuel cell stack comprising a plurality of fuel cell units stacked via separator plates, which further comprises (a) voltage-measuring projection terminals on peripheries of the separator plates, (b) a plurality of terminal members connected to voltage-inputting terminals of a voltage-measuring apparatus, and (c) an insulating casing comprising a plurality of partitions for supporting each terminal member in an insulated state.
Claims20
An integral terminal member for connecting voltage-measuring projection terminals on peripheries of separator plates and voltage-inputting terminals of a voltage-measuring apparatus in a fuel cell stack, comprising (a) a tip end portion to be connected to a projection terminal of said separator plate, (b) an elastic support portion constituted by narrow-width strip portions connected to said tip end portion, and (c) a fulcrum portion connected to said elastic support portion and to be connected to said voltage-inputting terminal.
A fuel cell stack comprising a plurality of fuel cell units stacked via separator plates, which further comprises (a) voltage-measuring projection terminals on peripheries of said separator plates, (b) a plurality of terminal members connected to voltage-inputting terminals of a voltage-measuring apparatus, and (c) an insulating casing comprising a plurality of partitions for supporting each terminal member in an insulated state.
A fuel cell stack comprising a plurality of fuel cell units stacked via separator plates, which further comprises (a) voltage-measuring projection terminals on peripheries of separator plates, (b) a plurality of terminal members connected to voltage-inputting terminals of a voltage-measuring apparatus, and (c) an insulating casing comprising a plurality of partitions for supporting each terminal member in an insulated state, said voltage-inputting terminals being engaged to said terminal members, and said terminal members being engaged to said voltage-measuring terminals of said separator plates by rotating said casing around said voltage-inputting terminals as a fulcrum, whereby said voltage-inputting terminals are connected to said voltage-measuring terminals.
