Abstract
A movable body includes a fuel cell stack (100) and structural bodies (110, 111, 132 and 133) that constitute a body or a frame of the movable body. The fuel cell stack (100) includes a power generation stack body (10), two end plates (11 and 12), and clamping members (14b). The movable body further includes first connection portions (120) that connect at least one of the two end plates (11 and 12) to the structural bodies (110 and 111), and second connection portions (130 and 131) that connect the clamping members (14b) to the structural bodies (132 and 133), respectively.
Claims13
A movable body, comprising:
- a fuel cell stack that includes:
- a power generation stack body formed by stacking a plurality of power generation bodies;
- two end plates between which the power generation stack body is clamped in a direction in which the power generation bodies are stacked;
- and a clamping member that is provided on a side face of the power generation stack body and that extends between the two end plates in such a manner that the two end plates are firmly connected to each other;
- a structural body that constitutes a body or a frame of the movable body;
- a first connection portion that connects at least one of the two end plates to the structural body;
- and
- a second connection portion that connects the clamping member to the structural body.
A method for mounting a fuel cell stack in a movable body, the fuel cell stack including a power generation stack body formed by stacking a plurality of power generation bodies;
- two end plates between which the power generation stack body is clamped in a direction in which the power generation bodies are stacked;
- and clamping members that are provided on respective side faces of the power generation stack body and that extend between the two end plates in such a manner that the two end plates are firmly connected to each other, the method comprising:
- connecting at least one of the two end plates to a structural body that constitutes a body or a frame of the movable body;
- and
- connecting the clamping members and the structural body to each other at positions that are symmetrical with respect to the fuel cell stack.
