Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of capacitor product production, in particular to a busbar structure of a capacitor for new energy vehicles in the new energy field, that is, an aluminum busbar structure for capacitors. Background Technique
[0002] Due to its own advantages, such as high safety, long service life, large temperature wave current resistance, stable performance, etc., metallized film capacitors have been gradually widely used in the fields of new energy, automotive electronics, rail transit, industrial control, frequency conversion, etc. Especially in the field of new energy vehicles, the demand for film capacitors is increasing. Metallized film capacitors mainly consist of a core of non-inductive wound metallized film, a busbar, a plastic shell, and epoxy potting glue. The main process is that the cores are connected in parallel and welded to the solder joints at the core welding ends of the busbar, directly installed into the plastic shell, then epoxy potting glue is applied, and it is encapsulated through high-temperature curing, leaving the external installation terminal part of the busbar for performance testing and customer installation. Most of the busbars used in this production process are red copper, which are formed into the required structure by means of laser cutting or stamping. At the same time, to avoid the oxidation of copper by the environment, the surface of the copper busbar will be passivated or electroplated with a tin layer. However, currently, due to the increasing price of red copper year by year, it has become the main material cost of such metallized film capacitors, causing great pressure on the comprehensive manufacturing cost of such metallized film capacitors; continuous development is needed; how to develop a new busbar structure to replace the existing red copper busbar to reduce costs and at the same time meet the performance requirements of such metallized film capacitors has become the future development trend of such metallized film capacitors.
[0003] For example, in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN 113963950A, the disclosed utility model name is "A Capacitor Busbar and a Capacitor". The present utility model provides a capacitor busbar and a capacitor. The capacitor busbar includes: a main body and electrode terminals. The surface of the main body and the electrode terminals opposite to the end face electrode is the first surface, and the surface opposite to the first surface is the second surface; the electrode terminals extend from the specified edge of the main body in a direction orthogonal to the thickness direction of the main body. The electrode terminals have a bending part and an extending part. The first surface of the extending part is suitable for welding and fitting with the end face electrode. The bending part is located between the extending part and the main body. The structure of the bending part is bent and deformed from the specified edge of the main body in the thickness direction of the main body until the first surface of the extending part is lower than the first surface of the main body. This can ensure the close fitting of the electrode terminals and the end face electrode, reduce the contact resistance between the busbar and the core, reduce the risk of capacitance electrical parameter failure, ensure the moisture-proof performance of the capacitor, and avoid the situation of the busbar breaking during the capacitor manufacturing process.
[0004] Therefore, how to provide a busbar structure made of aluminum material for capacitors, that is, on the premise of ensuring the structural performance of the capacitor busbar body, it can meet the requirements of the busbar structure of metallized film capacitors in the new energy field through the replacement and innovation of the aluminum material of the busbar structure for metallized film capacitors, and ensure the overcurrent capacity and connection strength requirements of the capacitor busbar, etc. It preferably meets the above performance requirements of the capacitor busbar, that is, while ensuring the product performance, it can greatly reduce the cost, and has the advantages of low cost, high efficiency and high reliability. It improves the comprehensive performance of the film capacitor; and achieves the purpose of cost reduction and emission reduction. Summary of the Invention
[0005] A busbar structure made of aluminum material for capacitors disclosed by the present invention includes a busbar, a busbar flat part, a busbar bending part, a core welding end, a busbar cavity part, and an external connection installation terminal. The busbar includes a busbar bending part and a busbar flat part, and the busbar is made of pure aluminum metal material; through the replacement and innovation of the aluminum material of the busbar structure for capacitors, it meets the requirements of the busbar structure of capacitors, and ensures the overcurrent capacity and connection strength requirements of the capacitor busbar, etc. While ensuring the product performance, it can greatly reduce the manufacturing cost of the busbar structure for capacitors, and has the advantages of low cost, high efficiency and high reliability.
[0006] A busbar structure made of aluminum material for capacitors provided by the present invention, the busbar structure includes a busbar, a busbar flat part, a busbar bending part, a core welding end, a busbar cavity part, and an external connection installation terminal. The busbar includes a busbar bending part and a busbar flat part. The busbar bending part is arranged at a corresponding position on one side edge of the busbar flat part. A plurality of busbar cavity parts are arranged and evenly distributed on the busbar flat part. One end of the external connection installation terminal is fixedly connected to a corresponding position of the busbar bending part; the busbar is made of pure aluminum metal material; one end of the core welding end is fixedly connected to a corresponding position of the busbar flat part made of aluminum metal material inside the busbar cavity part.
[0007] For the described busbar structure made of aluminum material for capacitors, a connecting part is arranged on the busbar bending part, and the external connection installation terminal is movably or fixedly connected to the busbar bending part of the busbar through the connecting part.
[0008] Preferably, a groove is arranged at a position corresponding to the connection part of the core welding end inside the busbar cavity part of the busbar flat part, and a protrusion is arranged at one end of the core welding end, and it can be movably or fixedly clamped in the groove in a corresponding matching manner.
[0009] Furthermore, for the described busbar structure made of aluminum material for capacitors, both the external connection installation terminal and the core welding end are made of pure copper material.
[0010] In the described aluminum busbar structure for a capacitor, a reinforcement plate is further provided on the connection part of the busbar bending part, and the external mounting terminal is movably or fixedly connected to the connection part through the reinforcement plate.
[0011] A kind of aluminum busbar structure for a capacitor disclosed by the present utility model is aimed at the special busbar of the current metallized film capacitor mainly made of purple copper material through laser cutting, die stamping, welding, and surface treatment. However, with this current technology, the main disadvantage is that the busbar for the capacitor prepared with all pure copper or all purple copper material has a high cost and can no longer meet the customer's demand for cost control of the busbar. Therefore, it is urgent to use metal aluminum material to replace the pure purple copper or pure copper busbar or copper busbar structure. For the large component structures in the busbar flat part 2 and the busbar bending part 1b of the busbar structure, aluminum materials are used for replacement, while the easily foldable components such as the external mounting terminal 5 and the core welding end 3 still need to be prepared with pure copper materials. This not only meets the above requirements for cost reduction in the production of the busbar for the capacitor but also can achieve the performance requirements of using the busbar as the busbar of the metallized film capacitor.
[0012] Since the price of aluminum in the present utility model is much lower than that of copper, the cost of the capacitor busbar or the capacitor busbar structure prepared with the above structure of the present utility model will be greatly reduced by about 40% based on the current price. At the same time, the overcurrent capacity of the busbar is preferably retained. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
