DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a safe and groundable AC motor capacitor includes a capacitor body 1, a protective frame 2 and a snap mechanism, wherein the capacitor body 1 is arranged in the protective frame 2; a threaded column 11 is arranged on the top of the capacitor body 1, and a snap groove 21 is opened on the protective frame 2. During installation, the capacitor body 1 is first placed in the protective frame 2, and the threaded column 11 on the top of the capacitor body 1 passes through the snap groove 21 opened on the protective frame 2.

[0028] The buckle mechanism includes a positioning plate 3, a clamping plate 4 and a diagonal brace 42. The clamping plate 4 is arranged on the left and right sides of the positioning plate 3. The bottom of the clamping plate 4 passes through the buckle groove 21 and abuts against the bottom of the protective frame 2. The side wall of the clamping plate 4 is provided with the diagonal brace 42, and the diagonal brace 42 abuts against the top of the protective frame 2. The positioning plate 3 and the clamping plate 4 are an integral structure, and the clamping plate 4 is elastically connected to the positioning plate 3. Abutment interfaces 41 are provided at both ends of the side wall of the clamping plate 4, and the diagonal brace 42 is arranged on the top of the abutment interface 41. The diagonal brace 42 is an integral structure with the clamping plate 4, and the diagonal brace 42 is elastically connected to the clamping plate 4.

[0029] The positioning plate 3 of the buckle mechanism is fixedly connected to the threaded column 11. Since the clamping plates 4 are arranged on the left and right sides of the positioning plate 3, and the bottom of the clamping plates 4 can pass through the clamping grooves 21 and abut against the bottom of the protection frame 2, the positioning plate 3 can drive the clamping plates 4 to move downward and clamp on the protection frame 2 after being fixed. At the same time, the diagonal braces 42 arranged on the side walls of the clamping plates 4 will abut against the top of the protection frame 2, further enhancing the stability of the buckle mechanism.

[0030] The positioning plate 3, the clamping plate 4 and the diagonal brace 42 are made of metal conductive material, so the entire buckle mechanism has good conductive performance. When the capacitor body 1 needs to be grounded, it can be connected to the grounding device through the buckle mechanism to achieve safe and reliable grounding protection.

[0031] Through the design of the snap mechanism, the capacitor body 1 can be stably fixed in the protective frame 2, preventing the capacitor from loosening or falling off during installation and use, and improving the safety and reliability of the equipment. At the same time, the snap mechanism of the metal conductive material can also realize the grounding protection of the capacitor body 1, further enhancing the safety of the equipment. At the same time, because the snap mechanism has a certain elastic deformation ability, it can adapt to protective frames 2 and capacitor bodies 1 of different sizes. This design enables the capacitor to be widely used in various power systems, improving the adaptability and flexibility of the equipment.

[0032] Limiting plates 5 are provided on the front and rear sides of the positioning plate 3, and rectangular grooves 12 are opened on both sides of the threaded column 11. A supporting mechanism is provided on the side of the limiting plate 5 close to the rectangular groove 12, and the supporting mechanism includes a supporting plate 6, a guide rod 62 and a connecting plate 63. The supporting plate 6 is provided on the side of the limiting plate 5 close to the rectangular groove 12, one end of the supporting plate 6 abuts against the side wall of the rectangular groove 12, and the other end is provided with the guide rod 62, the guide rod 62 passes through the limiting plate 5 and is fixedly connected with the connecting plate 63, the guide rod 62 is slidably matched with the limiting plate 5, a spring 64 is provided between the connecting plate 63 and the limiting plate 5, and the spring 64 is sleeved on the guide rod 62.

[0033] A rectangular groove 12 is provided on both sides of the threaded column 11 of the capacitor body 1, and a limit plate 5 is provided on both sides of the front and rear of the positioning plate 3. When the capacitor body 1 is placed in the protective frame 2, and the threaded column 11 passes through the buckle groove 21, the limit plate 5 will be close to the rectangular groove 12. At this time, the support plate 6 is arranged on the side of the limit plate 5 close to the rectangular groove 12, and one end thereof abuts against the side wall of the rectangular groove 12, which plays a role in preliminary positioning; a guide rod 62 is provided at the other end of the support plate 6, and the guide rod 62 passes through the limit plate 5 and is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 63. Since the guide rod 62 and the limit plate 5 are slidably matched, the support plate 6 can move within a certain range to adapt to threaded columns 11 and rectangular grooves 12 of different sizes; a spring 64 is provided between the connecting plate 63 and the limit plate 5, and the spring 64 is sleeved on the guide rod 62. When the support plate 6 abuts against the side wall of the rectangular groove 12, the spring 64 is compressed, providing additional support force for the support plate 6, and ensuring the stability of the capacitor body 1 in the protective frame 2.

[0034] By setting up a supporting mechanism, the capacitor body 1 can obtain more stable support during the installation process to prevent loosening or falling off due to improper installation or external force; at the same time, the abutment between the support plate 6 and the rectangular groove 12 and the elastic supporting effect of the spring 64 jointly ensure the stability of the capacitor body 1 in the protective frame 2, and can adapt to threaded columns 11 of different sizes, thereby improving the adaptability and flexibility of the equipment.

[0035] The bottom of the support plate 6 is provided with an escape groove 61 , and the escape groove 61 is inclined relative to the threaded column 11 .

[0036] When the capacitor body 1 is placed in the protective frame 2 and the threaded column 11 passes through the snap groove 21, the avoidance groove 61 at the bottom of the support plate 6 can cleverly avoid the raised part of the threaded column 11, ensuring that the support plate 6 can slide smoothly and fit on the side wall of the rectangular groove 12.

[0037] The inclined design of the avoidance groove 61 not only provides sufficient space to avoid direct collision with the threaded column 11 , but also plays a certain guiding role, guiding the support plate 6 to move to the side wall of the rectangular groove 12 in the correct direction.

[0038] The bottom of the clamping plate 4 is provided with a bending portion 7, and a side of the bending portion 7 away from the positioning plate 3 is provided with an abutting portion 71, and the abutting portion 71 abuts against the bottom of the protection frame 2. A through hole 72 is provided at the connection between the clamping plate 4 and the bending portion 7.

[0039] When the capacitor body 1 is placed in the protective frame 2 and fixedly connected to the positioning plate 3 by the threaded column 11, the clamping plate 4 moves downward and snaps into the buckle groove 21 of the protective frame 2. At this time, the bending portion 7 and the abutment portion 71 on the side away from the positioning plate 3 begin to play a role. The abutment portion 71 is tightly abutted against the bottom of the protective frame 2, providing additional fixing force for the capacitor body 1 to prevent it from moving in the vertical direction. This design enhances the stability of the capacitor body 1 in the protective frame 2.

[0040] The design of the bending portion 7 allows the card plate 4 to produce a certain elastic deformation when it moves downward and snaps into the snap groove 21. This deformation helps the card plate 4 to better adapt to the protective frames 2 and snap grooves 21 of different sizes, ensuring that the capacitor body 1 can be stably fixed therein; at the same time, the elastic effect of the bending portion 7 also allows the card plate 4 to produce a certain buffering effect when subjected to external forces, protecting the capacitor body 1 from damage. The through hole 72 opened at the connection between the card plate 4 and the bending portion 7 not only reduces the weight of the snap mechanism, but also improves its overall flexibility. The through hole 72 allows the card plate 4 to produce a certain deformation when subjected to external forces, thereby absorbing the impact force and protecting the capacitor body 1.

[0041] A threaded hole 13 is formed on the top of the threaded column 11 , a positioning hole 31 is formed on the positioning plate 3 , a bolt 8 is provided between the positioning hole 31 and the threaded hole 13 , and the bolt 8 passes through the positioning hole 31 and is threadably engaged with the threaded hole 13 .

[0042] The design of the bolt 8 makes it more convenient and quick to disassemble or replace the capacitor body 1. The capacitor body 1 can be easily removed by simply unscrewing the bolt 8 from the threaded hole 13 using an appropriate tool.

[0043] Working principle of the present invention: During installation, first place the capacitor body 1 in the protective frame 2. The threaded column 11 on the top of the capacitor body 1 passes through the snap groove 21 provided on the protective frame 2. Next, the positioning plate 3 of the snap mechanism is fixedly connected to the threaded column 11. Since the positioning plate 3 is provided with a card plate 4 on the left and right sides, and the bottom of the card plate 4 can pass through the snap groove 21 and abut against the bottom of the protective frame 2, the positioning plate 3 can drive the card plate 4 to move downward and clamp on the protective frame 2 after being fixed. At the same time, the diagonal brace 42 provided on the side wall of the card plate 4 will abut against the top of the protective frame 2, further enhancing the stability of the snap mechanism. Since the positioning plate 3 and the card plate 4 are an integrated structure, and the card plate 4 and the positioning plate 3 are elastically connected, the card plate 4 has a certain elastic deformation ability during the installation process, and can better adapt to the protective frame 2 and the capacitor body 1 of different sizes. At the same time, the abutment interfaces 41 opened at both ends of the side wall of the card plate 4 and the diagonal brace 42 set on the top enable the card plate 4 to maintain a stable abutment state when subjected to external forces, preventing the capacitor body 1 from loosening or falling off during the installation process. Since the positioning plate 3, the card plate 4 and the diagonal brace 42 are all made of metal conductive materials, the entire snap mechanism has good conductive properties. When the capacitor body 1 needs to be grounded, it can be connected to the grounding device through the snap mechanism to achieve safe and reliable grounding protection.

[0044] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to implement or use the present application. Various modifications to these embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present application. Therefore, the present application will not be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but will conform to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
