Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of crucibles for capacitor sintering, in particular to a capacitor sintering crucible. Background Art
[0002] Since high-energy hybrid tantalum capacitors use large-capacity electrochemical capacitor cathodes instead of electrolytic capacitor cathodes, the volume of the electrochemical capacitor cathode is very small, and the saved space can be used to increase the size of the anode. Therefore, the energy density of the capacitor can be increased exponentially. High-energy hybrid tantalum capacitors have the advantages of high operating voltage, good AC characteristics, high energy density, and high power, and can be used in pulse power supplies, filters, and communication equipment. With the widespread application of high-energy hybrid tantalum capacitors in energy storage, power-off delay protection and other functions, the task of producing high-energy hybrid tantalum capacitors in workshops has become increasingly arduous. In addition, due to increasingly fierce market competition, shorter delivery cycles can create greater benefits. Therefore, improving the sintering efficiency of high-energy hybrid tantalum capacitors is crucial to improving market competitiveness and contract delivery rates.
[0003] The existing tantalum crucibles used for sintering high-energy hybrid tantalum capacitors are relatively small, and the sintering furnace load of a single crucible of this specification is low, resulting in low sintering efficiency and large differences in tantalum core shrinkage within a batch. Therefore, a sintering crucible that can improve efficiency is needed.
[0004] Patent document with announcement number CN207468678U discloses a stacked crucible assembly for a vacuum furnace. Although the patent discloses a lifting rod and a reserved heat dissipation gap, it is not suitable for sintering tantalum capacitors and cannot be used for stacking the furnace.

[0023] The technical solution of the present invention is further described below, but the scope of protection claimed is not limited to the described solution.
[0024] Example 1:
[0025] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, a capacitor sintering crucible includes a crucible body 1, pillars A2, and pillars B3. The crucible body 1 has several through-holes A11 on its sidewalls and several through-holes B12 on its bottom. The pillars A2 are connected to the sidewalls of the crucible body 1, and the pillars B3 are connected to the bottom of the crucible body 1. The crucible body 1, pillars A2, and pillars B3 are all made of tantalum. Pillar A2 is attached to a hanger to facilitate the movement of the crucible, and pillar B3 is provided to provide spacing when stacking crucibles. The provision of through-holes A11 and B12 enhances heat transfer through radiation and improves the ability of the tantalum core to expel impurities during the sintering process.
[0026] The crucible body 1 has a circular cross section. The crucible body 1 is connected to the support B3 via a connecting ring 4 . The connecting ring 4 is welded to the support B3 .
[0027] The connecting ring 4 is bent in a J-shape and includes a contact portion 41 and a bent portion 42. One end of the contact portion 41 is connected to one end of the bent portion 42, and the other end of the bent portion 42 is connected to the bottom surface of the crucible body 1. The side wall of the contact portion 41 is in contact with and connected to the support B3, and the bottom surface of the contact portion 41 is welded to the bottom surface of the support B3.
[0028] A plurality of pillars A2 are evenly distributed circumferentially on the inner wall of the side wall of the crucible body 1 , and the pillars A2 are connected to the crucible body 1 by welding.
[0029] The top height of the support A2 is greater than the top height of the crucible body 1 .
[0030] The support B3 is provided through the crucible body 1 , and the bottom surface of the support B3 is flush with the bottom surface of the crucible body 1 . The support B3 is in a hollow cylindrical shape.
[0031] The top height of the pillar B3 is greater than or equal to the top height of the pillar A2.
[0032] The diameter of the pillar A2 is smaller than the diameter of the pillar B3.
[0033] Comparative Example 1:
[0034] The structure of the crucible is substantially the same as that of Example 1, except that the through hole A and the through hole B are not provided on the crucible body, and the height of the crucible body is half that of Example 1.
[0035] The comparison of the structure and loading rate of the crucible of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 is shown in Table 1.
[0036] Table 1 Tantalum crucible structure comparison table
[0037] Comparative Example 1 Example 1 Crucible height / mm 30 60 Number of through holes A 0 216 Number of through holes B 0 32 Single crucible loading capacity / piece 40 144
[0038] The crucibles of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 were used to perform the following preparation process:
[0039] 1) Use 23000μF·V / g tantalum powder with a specific volume to form CASD5 type 63V4000μF (φ33.5×3) tantalum anode cores. The formed tantalum anode cores are laid flat in a single layer of 8 pieces into the crucible to cover the entire crucible.
[0040] 2) Sintering: Use a high temperature of (1435±10)°C, maintain it for (20±5) minutes after reaching the temperature, and remove it from the furnace after cooling to 30°C, ensuring that the specific capacitance of the tantalum core and tantalum powder after sintering is about 23000μF·V / g.
[0041] 3) Conventional phosphoric acid-ethylene glycol solution was used for step-by-step voltage boosting, with a boost current density of 0.008 mA / g at (0-30) V, 0.006 mA / g at (30-60) V, and 0.005 mA / g at (60-90) V. When the voltage reached 90 V, the voltage was maintained constant for 4.5 h ± 5 min to prepare a tantalum core with a good Ta2O5 dielectric oxide film.
[0042] The crucible of Comparative Example 1 is a two-layer stacked sintered crucible. Compared with the crucible of Example 1, in terms of structure, under the same diameter size, the crucible of Comparative Example 1 has a height of 30mm, and the crucible is surrounded by a solid tantalum sheet structure. The single crucible tantalum core loading capacity is stacked by 5 layers, totaling 40 pieces. The crucible of Example 1 has a height of 60mm, and the crucible is surrounded by evenly arranged through holes A11 and through holes B12. The single crucible tantalum core loading capacity is stacked by 18 layers, totaling 144 pieces. In terms of electrical performance parameter comparison, as shown in Table 2, using the crucible of Example 1, the sintering efficiency is increased by 80%, the temperature difference between the two stacked and sintered tantalum crucibles is reduced (20°C), the extreme difference in shrinkage rate of the tantalum core sintered in the same furnace is reduced by 1.5%, and the capacitance and leakage current of the tantalum core remain consistent after energization.
