Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to an aluminum electrolytic capacitor, especially to an explosion-proof aluminum electrolytic capacitor. BACKGROUND

[0002] The aluminum electrolytic capacitor is applied in the circuit and is mainly used for tuning, filtering, coupling, bypass, energy conversion and time delay. Because the aluminum electrolytic capacitor contains electrolyte inside, when the circuit appears abnormal condition, the internal electrolyte will appear vaporization expansion, so that the capacitor appears explosion-proof valve action to release internal pressure. The design scheme of the traditional aluminum electrolytic capacitor explosion-proof groove is generally in the shape of "Y" or "cross", and is a center single-point release (see Figure 1 ), when the explosion-proof groove acts, the internal gas release is concentratedly sprayed, and the electrolyte is concentratedly sprayed, which can easily cause the short circuit of the peripheral components of the circuit board or even the fire problem. According to the incomplete statistics of the market quality feedback data of some household appliances, the aluminum electrolytic capacitor causes about 38% of the whole machine fire events (the data is from Capacitors and Their Applications, Chen Yongzhen, Science Press, 2005), and the concentrated spraying can also cause the internal core package electrolytic paper to be sprayed. How to design a better explosion-proof groove to improve the explosion-proof characteristics of the aluminum electrolytic capacitor becomes a difficult problem for capacitor design engineers to think. SUMMARY

[0004] To solve the above technical problems, the technical scheme provided by the utility model is as follows: an explosion-proof aluminum electrolytic capacitor, comprising a shell and a core package, the core package is sealed in the shell through a rubber plug or a sealing cover plate, the bottom of the shell is provided with an explosion-proof valve, and the explosion-proof valve is in the shape of "8".

[0005] The explosion-proof aluminum electrolytic capacitor, preferably, the explosion-proof valve comprises an S-shaped explosion-proof groove and a straight-line-shaped explosion-proof groove, and the straight-line-shaped explosion-proof groove and the S-shaped explosion-proof groove intersect at the midpoint of the S-shaped explosion-proof groove.

[0006] The explosion-proof aluminum electrolytic capacitor, preferably, the distance between the two end points of the S-shaped explosion-proof groove is one-half to three-fourths of the diameter of the bottom of the shell.

[0007] The explosion-proof aluminum electrolytic capacitor, preferably, the straight-line-shaped explosion-proof groove divides the S-shaped explosion-proof groove into two center-symmetrical arc-shaped explosion-proof grooves, and the depth of the end point of the arc-shaped explosion-proof groove is less than the depth of the midpoint of the arc-shaped explosion-proof groove.

[0008] Preferably, the depth of the arc-shaped anti-explosion groove end point is half of the depth of the arc-shaped anti-explosion groove middle point.

[0009] Preferably, the depth of the arc-shaped anti-explosion groove end point to the arc-shaped anti-explosion groove middle point is gradually deepened.

[0010] Preferably, the depth of the arc-shaped anti-explosion groove end point to the arc-shaped anti-explosion groove middle point is gradually deepened.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the anti-explosion groove in the utility model is in the shape of 8, when the explosion valve is opened, the explosion valve will not release in a single point in the center, but release in a plane, because the release area is large, the electrolytic paper is not easy to be ejected, and the ejection range of the electrolyte is relatively concentrated, thereby reducing the short circuit and fire problems of the peripheral components of the circuit board.
