Abstract
A fuel cell system having a fuel pressurizing system. The fuel cell system includes: a cartridge comprising a fuel storage pack; a main body; and a pressurizing unit disposed in the main body to pressurize the fuel storage pack when the cartridge is mated to the main body. The cartridge further includes a pressurizing plate to transmit pressure received from the pressurizing unit to the fuel storage pack when the cartridge is mated to the main body and to preventing the fuel storage pack from being pressurized when the cartridge is separated from the main body. The main body can include a case on which the fuel storage pack and the pressurizing plate are received.
Claims22
A fuel cell system comprising:
- a cartridge comprising a fuel storage pack, a pressurizing plate, and a case to house the fuel storage pack and the pressurizing plate;
- a main body, the main body being configured to mate with the cartridge;
- a fixing unit disposed in the cartridge and on a second end of the case, to fix a second end of the pressurizing plate when the main body and the cartridge are separated;
- and
- a pressurizing unit disposed in the main body to pressurize the fuel storage pack when the main body is mated with the cartridge, wherein:
- the pressurizing plate is configured to transmit a force from the pressurizing unit to the fuel storage pack when the main body is mated with the cartridge, and
- the pressurizing plate is disposed in the case in relationship to the fuel storage pack to protect the fuel storage pack from pressurization when the main body is separated from the cartridge.
A fuel cell system comprising:
- a main body comprising a biasing device disposed therein;
- and
- a cartridge configured to mate with the main body, the cartridge comprising a fuel storage pack and a pressurizing plate having a fixed position in the cartridge, the pressurizing plate having first and second ends, the cartridge having first and second holes, and the first and second ends of the pressurizing plate being disposed in the first and second holes of the cartridge when the pressurizing plate is in the fixed position,
- wherein the biasing device is configured to move the pressurizing plate against the fuel storage pack to pressurize the fuel storage pack when the cartridge is mated with the main body.
A fuel cell system comprising:
- a cartridge comprising a fuel storage pack, a pressurizing plate, and a case to house the fuel storage pack and the pressurizing plate;
- a main body, the main body being configured to mate with the cartridge;
- and
- a pressurizing unit disposed in the main body to pressurize the fuel storage pack when the main body is mated with the cartridge, wherein:
- the pressurizing plate is configured to transmit a force from the pressurizing unit to the fuel storage pack when the main body is mated with the cartridge,
- the pressurizing plate is disposed in the case in relationship to the fuel storage pack to protect the fuel storage pack from pressurization when the main body is separated from the cartridge, and
- the pressurizing plate has first and second ends, the case has first and second holes disposed on an end thereof, and the first and second ends of the pressurizing plate are disposed in the first and second holes when the cartridge is separated from the main body such that the pressurizing plate is in a fixed position.
