Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of capacitors, and in particular to a smart capacitor. Background Technology

[0002] Intelligent capacitors are intelligent reactive power compensation devices that integrate advanced technologies such as modern measurement and control, power electronics, network communication, automation control, and power capacitors. Intelligent reactive power compensation capacitors have changed the outdated control technology and the reliance on mechanical contactors or electromechanical switches for switching capacitors used in traditional reactive power compensation devices. They have also changed the bulky and cumbersome structure of traditional reactive power compensation devices, resulting in a new generation of low-voltage reactive power compensation equipment with better compensation effect, smaller size, lower power consumption, lower price, greater cost savings, more flexible use, easier maintenance, longer service life, and higher reliability, thus meeting the higher requirements of modern power grids for reactive power compensation.

[0003] The intelligent capacitor consists of a housing and a cover. The housing houses the capacitor body, and the housing and cover work together to protect the capacitor body. A terminal block is connected to the cover to enable power transmission between the capacitor body and external devices. Currently, the terminal block and cover are molded together, and the number of terminals on the terminal block is fixed. To meet the requirements of resistance welding, additional terminals may be needed, resulting in higher production costs and greater operational difficulties. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to meet the needs of welding components such as resistors and reduce the production cost of smart capacitors, this application provides a smart capacitor.

[0005] The intelligent capacitor provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A smart capacitor includes a housing, a cover plate, a terminal block, and an explosion-proof plate. The housing has a receiving cavity, the cover plate is connected to the housing and covers the opening of the receiving cavity, the terminal block is connected to the cover plate, and the explosion-proof plate is embedded in the receiving cavity. The explosion-proof plate is used for resistance welding and is electrically connected to the terminal block through a wire.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, components such as resistors are soldered to the explosion-proof sheet, which meets the needs of adding terminals and soldering components such as resistors. Then, the explosion-proof sheet is connected to the terminal block with wires, which avoids the need for workers to add terminals at the terminal block and cover plate, thus reducing the production cost of smart capacitors.

[0008] Preferably, the explosion-proof plate includes a connecting plate and a safety plate. There are two connecting plates, which are symmetrically distributed along the width of the housing. The two ends of the safety plate are respectively connected to the two connecting plates. The safety plate is used for soldering resistors and wires.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the explosion-proof sheet consists of two connecting plates and a fuse. The fuse is connected to the connecting plates and is used to connect to the resistor and wires. When the internal circuit of the smart capacitor is short-circuited, the fuse can quickly disconnect the circuit, reducing the possibility of damage to the internal components of the smart capacitor caused by the short circuit and improving the service life of the smart capacitor.

[0010] Preferably, the explosion-proof plate further includes a fixing plate, the number of which is the same as the number of connecting plates and corresponds one-to-one, two of which are respectively connected to the side of the connecting plate away from the other connecting plate, and the fixing plate is connected to the cavity wall.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution and setting a fixing plate to connect the connecting plate and the shell, the possibility of the explosion-proof sheet becoming loose at the connection point between the fuse and the wire is reduced due to vibration or impact during transportation or use, thereby improving the service life of the smart capacitor.

[0012] Preferably, the fixing plate includes a first fixing piece and a second fixing piece. The first fixing piece is connected to one side of the connecting plate along the thickness direction of the connecting plate. The end of the first fixing piece away from the other connecting plate is connected to one end of the second fixing piece. The first fixing piece and the second fixing piece are at a right angle. A limiting seat is connected to the cavity wall. The number of limiting seats is the same as the number of second fixing pieces and they correspond one-to-one. A limiting groove is provided on the side of the limiting seat away from the other limiting seat. The second fixing piece is embedded in the limiting groove.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the fixing plate is composed of a first fixing piece and a second fixing piece. The first fixing piece and the second fixing piece are at right angles. The first fixing piece is connected to the connecting plate. A limiting seat is connected to the cavity wall. The limiting seat is provided with a limiting groove. The second fixing piece is embedded in the limiting groove, so as to realize the relative fixation of the explosion-proof plate and the shell in the horizontal direction and improve the stability of the connection between the connecting plate and the fixing plate.

[0014] Preferably, the surface of the second fixing piece closer to the first fixing piece is in contact with the surface of the connecting plate away from the other connecting plate.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the surface of the second fixing piece close to the first fixing piece is in contact with the surface of the connecting plate away from the other connecting plate, and the connecting plate supports the second fixing piece, thereby improving the connection strength between the second fixing piece and the limiting seat.

[0016] Preferably, the bottom of the limiting groove is connected to a positioning post, and the second fixing piece is provided with a positioning hole for the positioning post to be inserted.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, a positioning post is connected to the bottom of the limiting groove, and a positioning hole is provided on the second fixing plate. The positioning hole is used for the positioning post to be inserted, so as to realize the relative fixation of the explosion-proof plate and the shell along the vertical direction. This reduces the possibility of the explosion-proof plate moving in the cavity during the operation of the intelligent capacitor, causing a short circuit in the intelligent capacitor, and improves the reliability of the intelligent capacitor.

[0018] Preferably, there are a plurality of positioning posts, which are distributed at intervals along the length of the housing, and the number of positioning holes is equal to the number of positioning posts and corresponds one-to-one.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple positioning posts are set up, and a multi-point positioning method is used to achieve relative fixation of the second fixing plate and the limiting seat, reducing the possibility of the explosion-proof plate rotating along the axis of the positioning posts and improving the stability of the explosion-proof plate connection.

[0020] Preferably, the outer periphery of the positioning post at the end away from the bottom of the limiting groove is provided with a rounded corner, which is used to abut against the wall of the positioning hole.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the outer periphery of the positioning post away from the bottom of the limiting groove is provided with a rounded corner. The rounded corner is used to abut against the wall of the positioning hole, which plays a guiding role in the installation of the second fixing piece and improves the working efficiency of intelligent capacitor assembly.

[0022] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

Then, the explosion-proof sheet is connected to the terminal block with a wire, avoiding the need for workers to add terminals at the terminal block and cover plate, thus reducing the production cost of smart capacitors.

[0024] 2. The explosion-proof plate consists of two connecting plates and a fuse. The fuse is connected to the connecting plates and is used to connect to the resistor and wires. When the internal circuit of the smart capacitor is short-circuited, the fuse can quickly disconnect the circuit, reducing the possibility of damage to the internal components of the smart capacitor caused by the short circuit and improving the service life of the smart capacitor.

[0025] 3. The fixing plate consists of a first fixing piece and a second fixing piece, which are at right angles to each other. The first fixing piece is connected to the connecting plate, and a limiting seat is connected to the cavity wall. The limiting seat has a limiting groove, and the second fixing piece is embedded in the limiting groove to achieve relative fixation of the explosion-proof piece and the shell in the horizontal direction. A positioning post is connected to the bottom of the limiting groove, and the second fixing piece has a positioning hole for the positioning post to be inserted, thereby achieving relative fixation of the explosion-proof piece and the shell in the vertical direction. This reduces the possibility of the explosion-proof piece moving in the cavity during the operation of the intelligent capacitor, which could cause a short circuit in the intelligent capacitor, and improves the reliability of the intelligent capacitor.
