Abstract:
An apparatus is provided to stack a fuel cell stack by pressurizing a separating plate component including a membrane-electrode assembly (MEA) sheet component, in which gas diffusion layers are bonded to both surfaces of an MEA, respectively. The apparatus include a component aligning unit connected to a completion end of a component transfer route of a conveyor to align the separating plate component and the MEA sheet component transferred by the conveyor to predetermined positions. A component stacking unit is installed at the component aligning unit side, and is configured to grip the separating plate component and the MEA sheet component and stack the components on a stack guide. A component pressurizing unit is installed at an upper side of a transfer route, through which the stack guide is transferred, and is configured to pressurize the separating plate component and the MEA sheet component stacked on the stack guide.

Claim (Index 19):
An apparatus for rapidly stacking a fuel cell stack, which assembles a fuel cell stack by stacking and pressurizing a separating plate component, in which a negative electrode metal separating plate and a positive electrode metal separating plate are bonded to each other, and including a membrane-electrode assembly (MEA) sheet component in which gas diffusion layers are bonded to both surfaces of an MEA, respectively, the apparatus comprising:\n a component aligning unit connected to a completion end of a component transfer route of a conveyor to align the separating plate component and the MEA sheet component transferred by the conveyor to predetermined positions; a component stacking unit installed at an upper side of the component aligning unit, and configured to grip the separating plate component and the MEA sheet component and stack the components on a stack guide; a component pressurizing unit installed at an upper side of a transfer route, through which the stack guide is transferred, and configured to pressurize the separating plate component and the MEA sheet component stacked on the stack guide; an end plate loading unit installed at an external side of a transfer route of the stack guide between the component stacking unit and the component pressurizing unit, and configured to grip each of upper and lower end plates and load the gripped end plate onto the stack guide; and a transferring unit configured to transfer the stack guide, on which the separating plate component and the MEA sheet component are stacked by the component stacking unit from a beginning end of the transfer route of the stack guide to the component pressurizing unit, and transfer a stack body, in which the separating plate component and the MEA sheet component are stacked by the component pressurizing unit, from the component pressurizing unit to a completion end of the transfer route of the stack guide, separately from the stack guide.
