When individual chip-type laminated solid aluminum electrolytic capacitors in a module in the circuit fail due to short circuit, they are prone to overheating or burn. In order not to affect the operation of the remaining chip-type laminated solid aluminum electrolytic capacitors in the module, it is usually necessary to add an additional insurance circuit during design and use, and use the fuse's fusing characteristics to make the problematic chip-type laminated solid aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the circuit in an open circuit state. However, adding an additional insurance circuit not only requires matching the insurance circuit components with the capacitor, but also increases the circuit space and reduces production efficiency.

[0031] Example 1

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the utility model provides an aluminum electrolytic capacitor with a built-in fuse, which is composed of a capacitor core 6, an epoxy resin shell 7, a fuse 10, a positive lead terminal 8, a negative lead terminal 9 and a core welding terminal 11. The capacitor core 6 is formed by overlapping 6 single-piece cores 5, and the single-piece core 5 includes a negative terminal 2, an isolation rubber wire 3 and a positive terminal 4, and the isolation rubber wire 3 is arranged between the negative terminal 2 and the positive terminal 4.

[0033] The utility model designs a lead frame 12 structure, such as Figure 2 As shown, the lead frame 12 becomes the negative lead terminal 8, the positive lead terminal 9, and the core welding terminal 11 after being cut and bent.

[0034] like Figure 1As shown, the negative terminals 2 of the six monolithic cores 5 are first bonded to the overlapping area of ​​the negative lead terminals 8 through the conductive silver glue 1, and then welded to the lead frame 12, and the positive terminals 4 of the monolithic cores 5 are overlapped and welded to the core welding terminal 11, and then a fusible fuse 10 is connected to the core welding terminal 11, and the other end is connected to the positive lead terminal 9, so as to form the capacitor body. Then the capacitor body is encapsulated with epoxy resin to form a sealed protective shell, and then the negative lead terminal 8, the positive lead terminal 9, and the core welding terminal 11 are punched out from the lead frame 12 by a cutting device, and then the negative lead terminal 8 and the positive lead terminal 9 are bent into a shape that is convenient for surface mounting by a bending foot forming device, and then the subsequent aging, reflow soldering detection, bending foot forming, test sorting, appearance inspection, packaging and inspection warehousing processes are carried out to obtain the built-in fuse aluminum electrolytic capacitor described in the utility model.

[0035] The aluminum electrolytic capacitor with built-in fuse provided by the utility model does not need to add an additional fuse circuit, which can reduce circuit occupancy and improve production efficiency. In addition, the fuse occupies a very small volume and does not affect the product capacity. When the capacitor core is short-circuited or fails, the internal fuse will be blown, thereby changing it to an open-circuit mode with a lower degree of danger, thereby preventing the capacitor from burning the circuit board or other electronic components due to a short circuit.

[0036] The manufacturing process of the utility model built-in fuse aluminum electrolytic capacitor is as follows Figure 3 As shown, the following steps are performed in sequence: cutting, arranging, gluing, chemical formation, coating, polymerization, cleaning, chemical formation, carbon coating, silver coating, assembly, plastic sealing, cutting, aging, reflow soldering detection, bending foot molding, testing and sorting, appearance inspection, packaging and inspection for warehousing, etc.

[0037] Example 2

[0038] The difference from the first embodiment is that the core welding terminal 11 is connected to the positive electrode lead terminal 9 through two fusible fuses 10 .

[0039] Comparative Example

[0040] An aluminum electrolytic capacitor, whose structure does not contain a fuse compared with Example 1. If a fuse is not provided outside the aluminum electrolytic capacitor, when an individual solid aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a module in a circuit fails due to a short circuit, it is easy to overheat or there is a danger of burning.

[0041] In order to ensure the safety of the circuit, a fuse is installed outside the aluminum electrolytic capacitor. When the capacitor core is short-circuited or fails during use, the fuse outside the capacitor will be blown, making the problematic aluminum electrolytic capacitor in an open circuit state in the circuit. However, the additional addition of a fuse circuit not only requires matching the fuse circuit components with the capacitor, but also increases the circuit space and reduces production efficiency.

[0042] In summary, the utility model provides an aluminum electrolytic capacitor with a built-in fuse, which places the fuse inside the aluminum electrolytic capacitor. When the capacitor core is short-circuited or fails, the internal fuse will be blown, thereby turning it into an open-circuit mode with a lower risk, thereby preventing the capacitor from burning the circuit board or other electronic components due to a short circuit. Batch production can be achieved without the need for additional fuse circuits, which can reduce circuit occupancy and improve production efficiency. In addition, the fuse occupies a very small volume and does not affect the product capacity.

[0043] The above is only a preferred specific implementation of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
