Device for transporting planar SOFC stack

A device, adapted for transporting a cell stack while the cell stack is sandwiched between a top plate and a bottom plate, comprising:

• a plurality of load units, each adapted for exerting a pressure on the cell stack;
• a lifting unit, composed of a joint portion and a plurality of cantilevers in a manner that the plural cantilevers are arranged centering the joint portion while extending radially outward therefrom, each having a fixing part arranged at the end thereof to be used for connecting to the cell stack by the bottom thereof;
• and
• a mobile seat, further comprising a crane, adapted for connecting to the lifting unit for enabling the lifting unit and the cell stack connected thereto to be moved with the moving of the mobile seat;
• wherein each load device further comprises:
• a pressure column, being arranged abutting against the top of the top plate;
• a load cell, arranged on the top of the pressure column;
• an elastic member, arranged on the top of the load cell;
• a pressure balance ring, arranged on the top of the elastic member;
• a screw rod, arranged in a manner that it pieces through the centers of the pressure column, the load cell, the elastic member, and the pressure balance ring;
• and
• a screw nut, capable of being screwed to the screw rod.
