Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of capacitors, in particular to a low-voltage parallel capacitor. Background Art

[0002] Low-voltage shunt capacitors are capacitors used to improve the power factor and power quality in power systems. They are typically installed on the low-voltage side of the power system and connected in parallel with the load. The main function of shunt capacitors is to provide reactive power to compensate for the reactive power generated by inductive loads (such as motors and transformers), thereby improving the power factor of the entire system. In this way, line losses can be reduced, power transmission efficiency can be improved, and power costs can be reduced. Low-voltage shunt capacitors are typically composed of multiple single capacitors, which can be types such as metallized film capacitors, liquid-impregnated capacitors, or dry capacitors. They can be fixed or adjustable. Fixed capacitors provide constant reactive power, while adjustable capacitors can adjust the reactive power output according to system needs.

[0003] After searching, I found that Chinese patent publication number CN208889497U discloses a self-healing low-voltage parallel capacitor, which includes a capacitor body, a temperature detection device for detecting the ambient temperature and converting it into a temperature detection signal, and a first comparison device coupled to the temperature detection device to receive the temperature detection signal and output a first comparison signal.

[0004] In practice, the installation of low-voltage shunt capacitors typically requires connecting the pin connectors to the capacitor housing one by one. This process is both time-consuming and labor-intensive, as each capacitor needs to be individually wired and secured. As production volumes increase, this installation method can lead to reduced efficiency, impacting overall production schedules. Furthermore, the manual labor involved can lead to wiring errors or poor contact during installation, increasing the difficulty and cost of subsequent maintenance. Therefore, this one-by-one installation method is particularly inefficient in large-scale production. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is:

[0017] The sealing arrangement at the connection between the pin connector and the mounting package cover ensures the safety and reliability of the capacitor during use. The sealing performance of the connection between the docking interface and the mounting package cover is enhanced by bonding the sealing strip.

[0018] The slit-shaped mounting, docking, and connection holes provide optimal force distribution and reduce stress concentration.

[0025] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easier to understand, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0026] like Figure 1 - Figure 5 As shown, a low-voltage shunt capacitor, featuring a sophisticated design and robust functionality, comprises a capacitor housing 1 and multiple pin connectors 5. Multiple docking ports 6 are defined on the upper end and sidewalls of the capacitor housing 1, and sealed support frames 7 are positioned at these ports. Support blocks 8 are specially designed at the corners of the sealed support frames 7 to provide additional stability and support. Connection holes 9 are defined at the upper ends of the support blocks 8 to facilitate subsequent installation and connection.

[0027] The mounting package cover 2 is installed between the docking port 6 and the sealed support frame 7. Its lower end is provided with a sealing frame 10 that mates with the sealed support frame 7. The mounting package cover 2 also has docking holes 11 that mate with the connection holes 9. Bolts are inserted to securely secure the mounting package cover 2 to the capacitor housing 1.

[0028] Multiple pin connectors 5 are carefully installed on the top of the mounting cover 2 to facilitate connection of the capacitor to other circuits. Furthermore, mounting blocks 3 are provided at both ends of the mounting cover 2, each with mounting holes 4 defined in its end faces. These mounting holes 4 allow for the expansion of the number of capacitors to meet diverse circuit requirements.

[0029] The capacitor housing 1 and sealed support frame 7 are integrated into a single unit, further enhancing the overall structural stability. The cross-section of the sealed support frame 7 is an inverted U-shaped design, which is both aesthetically pleasing and practical. The sealed support frame 7 and support block 8 are also integrated into one unit, further enhancing structural stability. To ensure a secure seal, sealing strips are installed on the outer ends of the sealed support frame 7 and support block 8, ensuring a seal with the mounted encapsulation cover 2.

[0030] The sealing frame 10 and the mounting package cover 2 are also integrated into one design. The surface of the sealing frame 10 is also provided with a sealing strip to ensure a sealed setting at the contact end with the sealing support frame 7 and the support block 8. This design not only improves the sealing performance, but also simplifies the assembly process.

[0031] The mounting cover 2 and mounting block 3 also feature an integrated design, with an Ω-shaped cross-section. This aesthetically pleasing design also provides a better seal. The mounting cover 2 mates with the docking port 6, and the connection between the two is bonded with a sealing strip, further enhancing the seal.

[0032] Mounting holes 4, docking holes 11, and connection holes 9 are all designed with waist holes, their openings are curved. This design is not only aesthetically pleasing but also provides better force distribution and reduces stress concentration. The end surface of mounting block 3 is attached with an adhesive to a non-slip rubber gasket, increasing stability and anti-slip performance during installation.

[0033] Pin connector 5 is pre-installed on mounting package cover 2, and the connection between pin connector 5 and mounting package cover 2 is also sealed, ensuring the safety and reliability of the capacitor during use. Overall, the design of this low-voltage shunt capacitor takes into account both functionality, aesthetics, and safety.

[0034] Installation process: Confirm that the capacitor housing 1, sealed support frame 7, mounting package cover 2, pin connector 5, mounting block 3 and other components are intact. Insert the sealed support frame 7 into the docking port 6 on the upper end and side wall of the capacitor housing 1. Ensure that the corners of the support block 8 are aligned with the corresponding positions of the capacitor housing 1. Fit the lower end of the mounting package cover 2 with the sealing frame 10 of the sealed support frame 7. Securely connect the mounting package cover 2 to the capacitor housing 1 by inserting bolts. Install multiple pin connectors 5 on the upper end of the mounting package cover 2, ensuring that they are secure and in the correct position. Fix the mounting block 3 to both ends of the capacitor housing 1. Ensure that the end faces of the mounting block 3 are aligned with the corresponding positions of the capacitor housing 1. Apply adhesive to the docking hole 11, mounting hole 4 and docking hole 11. Ensure that all connections are well sealed to enhance the stability and sealing performance of the overall structure. Glue the anti-slip rubber gasket to the end face of the mounting block 3 to increase stability and anti-slip performance during installation.

[0035] Instructions for Use: Connect pin 5 of the low-voltage shunt capacitor to the corresponding terminal on the power supply or other circuit. Ensure the connection is secure and provides good contact. Before applying power, check all connections for correct alignment and ensure there are no loose connections or short circuits. After applying power, observe the capacitor's operating status to ensure it is functioning properly and without any abnormal noise or heat. During operation, regularly check parameters such as temperature, voltage, and current to ensure they are operating within normal ranges. Clean the capacitor surface regularly to prevent dust and dirt from affecting its performance. Check all connections and seals to ensure they are not loose or damaged.

[0036] If you find any abnormal operation of the capacitor, immediately disconnect the power supply, inspect and eliminate the fault. If you need to replace the capacitor, please follow the above installation process to remove and replace it. This will ensure the correct installation and safe use of the low-voltage parallel capacitor.
