5. When the fuel cell is assembled by stacking the anode C1 separator f and tightening the outer periphery with a predetermined tightening force, a wave-shaped unevenness as shown in FIG. Since a method in which g is fixed to a separator h, or a method in which protrusions are formed on the separator f as shown in Fig. 6 is adopted, the height of the above-mentioned waveform irregularities 9 and protrusions can be adjusted to a predetermined height. If this setting is not made, when a tightening force is applied to the outer periphery, overpressure may occur on the electrode plates of the cathode 2 and anode 3 due to the separator f, which may cause cracks in the tile a. There is. Furthermore, if the thicknesses of the cathode 2 and anode 3 electrodes varied due to manufacturing errors, it was not possible to press the electrodes uniformly onto the tile a. Furthermore, conventionally, there are cases in which a wire mesh is used to hold the electrode when pressing the electrode against the tile, but this wire mesh has the problem of insufficient contact of the gas to the electrode.

Furthermore, hydrogen flows through a channel formed in the channel plate on the anode side, and a reaction occurs during this time. Both the channel plate on the cathode side and the channel plate on the anode side are elastic, so that when assembled, the cathode and anode can be pressed against the tile with the necessary surface pressure.
Even if the cathode and anode have manufacturing errors and variations in thickness, the deflection due to the spring characteristics of the channel plate can absorb the variation in thickness, allowing them to be pressed uniformly onto the tile.

The channel plates 7 and 8 are positioned so that the channel plates 7 are connected to the cathode 2 and the separator 4.
During this period, the channel plate 8 is interposed between the anode 3 and the separator 4, and apart from the tightening for the seal, the channel plates 7 and 8, which have spring characteristics, connect the cathode 2 and the anode 3 with the necessary surface pressure. If you press it on tile 1, you will get it.

ことがなくなる。The channel plate 7, which is interposed within the internal hollowed out portion 5a of the manifold plate 5 and between the cathode 2 and the separator 4, can press the cathode 2 against the tile 1 with a required surface pressure due to its own spring characteristics. Similarly, the channel plate 8, which is interposed within the hollowed-out portion 6a of the manifold plate 6 and between the seven nodes 3 and the separator 4, also uses its own spring characteristics to press the anode 3 against the tile 1 with the required surface pressure. Can be pushed. Thereby, even if there is a manufacturing error in the cathode 2 and anode 3, this error can be absorbed and pressed uniformly, making it easier to manufacture the electrodes. Since the pressure applied to the electrodes by the channel plates 7 and 8 is independent of the pressure applied by the surrounding seal, the cathode 2, Each electrode of the anode 3 can be pressed against the tile 1 with the necessary surface pressure. This prevents the tile 1 from cracking.

Specifically, the flow path plates 5 and 6 may have a shape as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. The following are possible. The example in FIG. 3 is a perspective view of what is shown in FIG.
A cut 9 is made in the middle of the thin plate, and the plate is pressed to bend in the opposite direction at the cut 9 to give it elasticity.The cut 9 is also opened to provide a hole 10 to allow the working fluid to flow. Parallel flow flows through the holes 10 on both the front and back sides of the plate. In the example shown in FIG. 4, a thin plate is processed into a corrugated shape and holes 11 are formed at appropriate locations so that the working fluid can flow freely to the front and back sides of the plate.
