Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of producing aluminum shell equipment for aluminum electrolytic capacitors, and particularly relates to an aluminum shell side wall explosion-proof mold structure and an explosion-proof testing method. Background Art

[0002] As the most basic electronic component, aluminum electrolytic capacitors are widely used in various circuits such as distillation, filtering, bypassing, and coupling. With the development of surface mount technology and electronic component products towards high reliability and long life, users have also put forward requirements for aluminum electrolytic capacitors such as small size, chip-type, high performance, long life, and low loss. As the main component of aluminum electrolytic capacitors, aluminum shells need to be treated with explosion-proof treatment during the production process and given explosion-proof characteristics, so that the aluminum shell can release the ability to explode under high pressure, thereby protecting the capacitor and external accessories when the aluminum electrolytic capacitor is abnormal. Since the depth of the explosion-proof groove of the aluminum shell is one of the important indicators for measuring the technical parameters of aluminum electrolytic capacitors, the explosion-proof groove is too deep and it is very easy to cause the aluminum shell to be punctured. When it is too shallow, it is very easy to cause a safety accident due to the overload of the electrolytic capacitor. In order to control the depth of the explosion-proof groove, the height of the explosion-proof core has been adjusted. This method needs to be adjusted according to operating experience, and the operability is low, and it is difficult to guarantee the quality of aluminum shell production.

[0003] In the prior art, there are studies on the problem of adjusting the depth of explosion-proof grooves by adjusting the height of explosion-proof cores, such as patent application CN207615453U - an explosion-proof aluminum shell forming mold, which realizes the precise adjustment of the explosion-proof core in the explosion-proof concave mold through an explosion-proof core adjustment device, solving the problem of low operability of the current method of adjusting the height of the explosion-proof core. Although the existing explosion-proof aluminum shell forming mold can improve the quality and production efficiency of the product to a certain extent, it is difficult to achieve mold standardization for various styles and specifications of aluminum shells, making it difficult to meet the development trend and market demand of aluminum electrolytic capacitors, and the existing explosion-proof forming mold has a complex structure, and the processing and manufacturing costs are relatively high, and it is difficult to ensure the flexibility of maintenance. To this end, a new technical solution is needed to solve the above technical problems. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an aluminum shell side wall explosion-proof mold structure and an explosion-proof testing method to solve the problems raised in the above background technology that the current explosion-proof aluminum shell forming mold is difficult to standardize for various styles and specifications of aluminum shells, making it difficult to meet the development trend and market demand of aluminum electrolytic capacitors, and the existing explosion-proof forming mold has a complex structure, relatively high processing and manufacturing costs, and it is difficult to ensure maintenance flexibility.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: an explosion-proof mold structure for the side wall of an aluminum shell, comprising an upper mold and a lower mold, a plurality of bolt holes being horizontally opened on the side of the lower mold, the bolt holes being connected to an explosion-proof core groove vertically opened downward inside the lower mold, an explosion-proof core being inserted into the explosion-proof core groove, a sinking groove being extended at the top of the explosion-proof core groove, the sinking groove being matched with the upper clearance of the explosion-proof core, the explosion-proof core being locked in the explosion-proof core groove by bolts threadedly connected to the bolt holes and the top of the core is opposite to or cross-arranged with the core at the bottom of the upper mold, the top of the core is connected to a rotating mechanism and is connected to the upper mold through the rotating mechanism, and the rotating mechanism allows the core to be rotated and adjusted relative to the upper mold.

[0006] Furthermore, a chamfered surface is provided on both sides of the upper part of the explosion-proof core, and the tops of the two chamfered surfaces meet to form a tip, and the tip is arranged opposite to or cross-arranged with the mold core.

[0007] Furthermore, the mold core is rotatably adjusted relative to the upper mold through a rotating mechanism to be arranged opposite to the tip of the explosion-proof core or to be cross-arranged at a predetermined angle.

[0008] Furthermore, one end of the lower mold is set with the aluminum shell through its cylindrical structure, and a threaded hole is opened on the end face of the other end of the lower mold and an air pump is threadedly connected through the threaded hole; the interior of the lower mold is penetrated by an air hole connected with the threaded hole; the gas generated by the air pump is transmitted to the interior of the lower mold through the threaded hole and the air hole, and the aluminum shell is pushed out along the axial direction of the lower mold by the gas pressure; a guide limit platform is set at the bottom of the end of the lower mold with the threaded hole, and is fixed to the lower mold fixing seat of the explosion-proof equipment through the guide limit platform.

[0009] The explosion-proof mold structure of the aluminum shell side wall set up above is used to perform an explosion-proof test on the aluminum shell side wall, and the specific test steps are as follows: first, fix the upper mold in the mold handle hole of the explosion-proof equipment, fix the lower mold on the lower mold fixing seat of the explosion-proof equipment, and connect the output pipe of the air pump to the threaded hole of the lower mold, and ensure that the output pipe is connected to the air hole; secondly, put the aluminum shell on the cylindrical structure of the lower mold, and then use the hydraulic control system to punch the explosion-proof core of the lower mold with the core of the upper mold, and perform explosion-proof treatment on the side wall of the aluminum shell to form an explosion-proof groove; finally, the gas pressure generated by the air pump is transmitted to the inside of the lower mold through the threaded holes and the air holes, and pushes the aluminum shell out smoothly along the axial direction of the lower mold until the aluminum shell is completely separated from the lower mold.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. The present invention adopts a design of locking the explosion-proof core in the explosion-proof core groove with bolts, so that the explosion-proof core has a detachable function, so that when the explosion-proof core is worn, the mold structure only needs to replace the explosion-proof core without replacing the entire mold, which simplifies the structure of the mold, greatly reduces the manufacturing and maintenance costs of the mold, improves the flexibility and maintainability of the mold, and reduces the downtime of the aluminum shell in the production process. At the same time, it also realizes the precise adjustment of the explosion-proof core in the explosion-proof core groove without relying on operating experience, greatly improves the convenience and accuracy of operation, can more effectively control the depth of the explosion-proof groove, and ensures the quality of aluminum shell production By controlling the size of the lower die and the connection between the bolt hole and the explosion-proof core groove, the die structure can process aluminum shell products with different outer diameters under the action of the same explosion-proof core, breaking the limitations of the existing die for various styles and specifications of aluminum shells, and realizing the standardization and unification of the die, thereby meeting the development trend and market demand of aluminum electrolytic capacitors. The explosion-proof core of the lower die and the core of the upper die are set opposite or crosswise, making the side wall of the aluminum shell more flexible and efficient in the process of explosion-proof treatment, ensuring the uniformity of the force on the aluminum shell, helping to reduce the deformation and defects of the aluminum shell, and ensuring the quality and consistency of the product; 2. The present invention adopts the design of extending the sinking groove at the top of the explosion-proof core groove, which provides a more stable supporting environment for the explosion-proof core, reduces the shaking or deviation of the explosion-proof core during the stamping process, thereby improving the accuracy and consistency of the explosion-proof groove. By setting the design of beveled surfaces on both sides of the upper part of the explosion-proof core, the explosion-proof core can distribute the pressure more evenly during stamping, effectively avoiding the deformation or damage of the aluminum shell caused by excessive local pressure. The setting of the tip formed by the intersection of the tops of the two beveled surfaces can more accurately locate the position of the explosion-proof groove, ensuring the reliability of the explosion-proof effect; 3. The present invention allows the mold core to be rotated and adjusted relative to the upper mold through a rotating mechanism, so that the mold structure can adapt to aluminum shells of different specifications or shapes, thereby improving the flexibility and versatility of the mold, and also realizing the precise alignment of the explosion-proof groove and the side wall of the aluminum shell, further improving the quality and consistency of the product, reducing the generation of defective and waste products, and improving the utilization rate of raw materials and the qualified rate of products; 4. The present invention utilizes a mechanism that uses gas pressure to push the aluminum shell out along the axial direction of the lower mold. Compared with the traditional mechanical pushing method, the gas pushing has a more uniform and gentle driving force, which can reduce damage to the aluminum shell and the mold, and improve the integrity and quality of the product. The design that the air holes that penetrate the lower mold are connected to the threaded holes forms an efficient gas transmission channel inside the lower mold, ensuring that the gas generated by the gas pump can be quickly and accurately transmitted to the lower mold, so as to effectively push the aluminum shell. By adjusting the output pressure and flow of the gas pump, the driving force and pushing speed of the gas can be accurately controlled, thereby achieving precise control of the aluminum shell pushing process, reducing manual intervention and downtime, and improving production efficiency. By setting a guide limit platform at the bottom of one end of the lower mold where the threaded hole is opened, it not only fixes and limits the lower mold, but also ensures the stable operation of the mold in the explosion-proof equipment, effectively preventing the mold from shaking or shifting under the push of high-pressure gas, and ensuring the processing accuracy and safety of the product; 5. The present invention utilizes the mold structure to perform explosion-proof tests on the side walls of the aluminum shell, thereby achieving precise control of the explosion-proof grooves on the side walls of the aluminum shell, effectively avoiding safety issues such as aluminum shell breakdown or inability to open due to improper depth of the explosion-proof grooves, reducing scrap rates, improving production efficiency, and ensuring the safety and reliability of aluminum electrolytic capacitors during use, thereby improving the product quality and market competitiveness of aluminum electrolytic capacitors.
