Fuel cell
First Claim
1. A fuel cell comprising:
- a generator section having an electromotive unit which generates power based on a chemical reaction, a fuel tank which contains fuel, a passage which is connected to the electromotive unit and through which fluids, including the fuel, water, and air, are circulated, and a valve mechanism which is located in the passage and regulates the circulation of the fluids;
a control section which has a connector connectable to an electronic device and controls operation of the generator section; and
a locking mechanism having a locking member, movable between a locking position in which the locking member locks the electronic device connected to the connector in a connected position and a release position in which the electronic device is unlocked, and an eject member which moves the locking member from the locking position to the release position, the control section having a detector which detects movement of the eject member, and a valve drive unit which closes the valve mechanism of the generator section when the movement of the eject member is detected by the detector.

Abstract
A generator section of a fuel cell comprises an electromotive unit, a fuel tank, a passage through which fluids, including fuel, water, and air, are circulated, and a valve mechanism in the passage. A control section has a connector connectable to an electronic device and controls operation of the generator section. A locking mechanism has a locking member, movable between a locking position in which the electronic device connected to the connector is locked in a connected position and a release position in which the electronic device is unlocked, and an eject member which moves the locking member to the release position. The control section has a detector which detects movement of the eject member and a valve drive unit which closes the valve mechanism of the generator section when the movement of the eject member is detected by the detector.
