Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of capacitors, and in particular to a capacitor capable of preventing electrolyte leakage and a working method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Electrochemical capacitors, also known as supercapacitors, are a new type of energy storage device between traditional capacitors and batteries. The working principle of electrochemical capacitors is to store electrical energy using electrochemical processes. Their core components are electrodes, which are connected by electrolytes and move relative to each other in them, resulting in electrical reactions and the storage or release of electrical energy. The charge storage of electrochemical capacitors mainly relies on the interfacial double layer formed between the electrodes and the electrolyte, as well as possible Faraday processes (in pseudocapacitors).
[0003] Before the adsorption material of the capacitor fails, the shell and surrounding components will expand and contract repeatedly with the adsorption material, causing serious deformation of the shell, resulting in electrolyte leakage from the gaps in the shell. The more layers of the electrode group, the greater the thickness change, the easier it is to cause electrolyte leakage, and even damage the seal, resulting in premature scrapping of the capacitor.
[0004] Among them, the main leakage points include: the welding point between the metal shell and the sealing cover, and the connection point between the pin and the sealing cover. Therefore, the technical personnel in this field provide a capacitor that prevents electrolyte leakage and a working method thereof to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

A connecting rod is slidably connected between the bottom ring and the limiting ring, and one end of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to a connecting plate.

A plurality of heat sinks 2 are provided above the cover plate, and a connecting plate is fixedly connected above one of the heat sinks 2, and the connecting plate is located at the center of the cover plate.
[0010] Preferably, the outer side of one end of the limit ring is bent downward to align with the outer side of the bottom ring, a gap is formed between the outer side of the limit ring and the top of the bottom ring, a track is formed between the limit ring and the bottom ring, one end of the connecting rod is inserted into the limit ring and the bottom ring through the gap, and a roller is installed on one end of the connecting rod inside the limit ring and the bottom ring.

[0014] The present invention also provides a method for using a capacitor that prevents electrolyte leakage, comprising the following steps:

[0018] Technical effects and advantages of the present invention:
[0019] 1. The present invention installs the capacitor inside the shell and isolates the capacitor from the circuit board through the shell, thereby avoiding the circuit board from being corroded by direct leakage of the capacitor, thereby increasing the loss cost and improving the degree of maintenance. In addition, the heat dissipation structure inside and outside the shell ensures that the heat of the capacitor can be dissipated in time when it is working.
[0020] 2. The present invention is designed with a connecting plate. When the capacitor is mounted on a circuit board and the circuit board is mounted inside a device, when the capacitor is horizontal, the leaked liquid will flow downward. The connecting plate can move to the bottom of the capacitor under the influence of gravity, thereby catching the leaked liquid of the capacitor and avoiding turbulent flow of the electrolyte inside the shell.

The heat conducting plate 10 and the contact plate 8 are movable, so that various types of capacitors can be applied. At the same time, the heat conducting plate 10 is pushed by the arc block 13 and the elastic rod 12. Multiple heat conducting plates 10 push different places of the contact plate 8, so that there are multiple force points on one side of the contact plate 8, so that the contact plate 8 can bend and change the curvature, so that the contact plate 8 is more closely fitted to the outside of the capacitor.
[0032] A connecting sleeve 17 is fixedly connected above the bottom plate 9, and the capacitor pin is inserted into the connecting sleeve 17.

When the pins are vertically upward during operation, the electrolyte at the pins is located above the sealing cover of the capacitor itself, and is restrained by the edge of the aluminum shell of the capacitor itself to prevent turbulence.
