[0019] In order to facilitate the understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be described in more comprehensive and detailed manner below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments of the specification, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the following specific embodiments.

[0020] It should be noted that when an element is described as being "fixed, fixed, connected or communicated with" another element, it can be directly fixed, fixed, connected or communicated with the other element, or it can be indirectly fixed, fixed, connected or communicated with the other element through other intermediate connectors.

[0021] Unless otherwise defined, all technical terms used hereinafter have the same meanings as those generally understood by those skilled in the art. The technical terms used herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Example 1

[0022] like Figure 1 A safe aluminum electrolytic capacitor is shown, comprising a housing, a core pack, and a seal. The core pack is positioned within the housing via the seal, which may be a rubber stopper. A vent is formed at the bottom of the housing, and a waterproof, breathable membrane is positioned over the vent. The membrane is tightly attached to the bottom of the housing. In this embodiment, two vents are provided at the bottom of the housing; the number of vents can be adjusted based on the size of the capacitor; the diameter of the vents is generally no greater than 1 mm. In this embodiment, the waterproof, breathable membrane prevents electrolyte impregnated into the core pack within the housing from escaping through the membrane. However, generated hydrogen can pass through the membrane due to the pressure differential between the inside and outside of the housing. When hydrogen is not generated within the core pack, the pressure differential between the inside and outside is consistent, preventing external gas from entering the housing. Since leakage current in aluminum electrolytic capacitors cannot be completely avoided, and due to the presence of electrolyte, the pressure inside the housing will not be less than the external pressure.

[0023] In this embodiment, gases such as hydrogen generated by decomposition of the electrolyte in the core package can pass through the waterproof and breathable membrane and thus be discharged from the outer shell, so the hydrogen remover in the traditional electrolyte can be eliminated.

[0024] In this embodiment, the four sides of the waterproof breathable membrane are directly connected to the bottom of the housing through sealant; the middle of the waterproof breathable membrane is tightly attached to the vent hole at the bottom of the housing.

[0025] In the utility model, by providing a vent hole and a waterproof breathable membrane at the bottom of the shell, the generated hydrogen can be discharged in time; thus, there will be no safety problem caused by the opening of the explosion-proof valve due to excessive hydrogen in traditional aluminum electrolytic capacitors. Example 2

[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a cavity is provided at the bottom of the housing, the vent is located within the cavity, and a sealant seals the waterproof, breathable membrane within the cavity. In this embodiment, by providing a cavity at the bottom of the housing and sealing the waterproof, breathable membrane within the cavity using sealant, a more effective sealing connection is achieved. The remainder of this embodiment is identical to that of Example 1. Example 3

[0027] like Figure 3 As shown, the waterproof breathable membrane is sealed on all sides by an extruded plate and is set at the bottom of the housing. A through hole is set in the middle of the extruded plate; the middle of the waterproof breathable membrane is tightly attached to the vent hole at the bottom of the housing. The extruded plate is sealed and connected to the bottom of the housing by welding or by using a sealant. In this embodiment, Figure 3As shown, the through hole in the middle of the extrusion plate can be a through hole with a diameter less than or equal to 1 mm; as Figure 4 As shown, the through hole in the middle of the extrusion plate can also be a through hole with a diameter greater than 1 mm, and a flow channel for gas is formed between the through hole on the bottom of the shell and the through hole on the extrusion plate.

[0028] The other parts of this embodiment are the same as those of Embodiment 1. Embodiment 4

[0029] In this embodiment, as shown, Figure 5 The bottom of the shell is provided with a cavity, and the sealing glue seals and connects the waterproof and breathable film and the extrusion plate in the cavity. In this embodiment, the sealing glue can not be used, but the waterproof and breathable film can be extruded in the cavity by the extrusion plate, and the waterproof and breathable film is sealed and connected to the bottom of the shell in the form of welding between the extrusion plate and the inner wall of the cavity. The other parts of this embodiment are the same as those of Embodiment 3.
