DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0023] For the convenience of understanding the present application, the following will combine the description of the drawings and the preferred embodiments to make a more comprehensive and detailed description of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited to the following specific embodiments.
[0024] It should be particularly noted that when a certain element is described as "fixed to, fixedly connected to, connected to or communicated to" another element, it can be directly fixed, fixedly connected, connected or communicated to another element, or indirectly fixed, fixedly connected, connected or communicated to another element through other intermediate connecting elements.
[0025] Unless otherwise defined, all the professional terms used in the following have the same meaning as generally understood by those skilled in the art. The professional terms used in this paper are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present application. Embodiment 1
[0026] As shown in Figure 1 A long-life aluminum electrolytic capacitor, comprising a cover plate 1, a shell 2 and a core package, the core package is arranged in the shell 2 through the cover plate 1, and the cover plate 1 is provided with an exhaust device 3. As shown in Figure 2 In this embodiment, the exhaust device 3 is a split structure, the exhaust device 3 comprises a connecting pipe 31, an upper end cover 32 and a lower end cover 33, the upper end cover 32 and the lower end cover 33 are connected with the connecting pipe 31 through threads or welding, the upper end cover 32 is provided with an exhaust hole 321 communicated with the center hole of the connecting pipe 31; the lower end cover 33 comprises a lower cap 331 and a top rod 332, the top rod 332 extends into the connecting pipe 31, the top rod 332 and the lower cap 331 are provided with communicated through holes; the top rod 332 and the upper end cover 32 are provided with a hole plugging assembly. In order to enhance the sealing between the lower cap 331 and the cover plate 1, the connecting pipe 31 and the cover plate 1 are sealed by glue or extrusion connection, and the lower cap 331 and the cover plate 1 are provided with a sealing ring 34; after the lower end cover 33 and the connecting pipe 31 are connected through threads or welding, the lower end cover 33 extrudes the sealing ring 34 to ensure the sealing degree between the lower cap 331 and the cover plate 1.
[0027] In this embodiment, when the lower end cover 33 and the connecting pipe 31 are connected by threads, the lower part of the connecting pipe 31 is provided with internal threads, and the top rod 332 on the lower end cover 33 is provided with external threads matched with the internal threads.
[0028] In this embodiment, the upper end cover 32 can be made of insulating materials such as plastic, or can be made of metal such as aluminum. When it is made of metal, the distance between the upper end cover 32 and the positive and negative lead terminals on the cover plate 1 may be close, which may cause arc discharge. Therefore, as shown inFigure 3 As shown, a groove 11 is provided at the position where the cover plate 1 contacts the upper end cover 32. An insulating sleeve 35 is fitted onto the upper end cover 32, with the bottom of the insulating sleeve 35 extending into the groove 11. To prevent arc discharge between the lower cap and the positive and negative leads, it can be done as follows: Figure 4 As shown, a groove 11 is provided at the position where the cover plate 1 contacts the lower cap, and an insulating sleeve 35 is fitted on the lower cap 331 of the lower end cover 33, with the bottom of the insulating sleeve 35 extending into the groove 11.
[0029] In this embodiment, the plugging assembly includes a silicone ball 36, which is positioned between the push rod 332 and the upper cap 32. The top of the push rod 332 presses against the silicone ball 36, compressing it and blocking the through hole in the middle of the push rod 332. When excessive gas is generated inside the aluminum electrolytic capacitor, causing excessive internal pressure, the gas passes through the through holes on the push rod 332 and the lower cap 331, forcing open the silicone ball 36 and venting out through the vent hole 321 of the upper cap 32, thus reducing the possibility of product failure due to excessive internal pressure. After the internal gas of the aluminum electrolytic capacitor is released, the elasticity of the silicone ball 36 re-blocks the through hole on the push rod 332, thereby reducing the chance of external impurities entering the capacitor. Example 2
[0030] like Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the plugging assembly includes a partition 37 and an elastic compression member 38. The elastic compression member 38 is disposed between the partition 37 and the upper end cap 32. The top of the push rod 332 abuts against the partition 37 and compresses the partition 37 and the elastic compression member 38. A soft rubber layer or a soft plastic layer is disposed at the bottom of the partition 37, and the soft rubber layer or soft plastic layer abuts against the top of the push rod. The elastic compression member 38 can be as follows: Figure 5 The spring pad shown is used to release gas from the aluminum electrolytic capacitor. When excessive gas is generated inside, leading to excessive internal pressure, the gas forces its way through the through holes on the top rod 332 and the lower cap 331, breaking through the partition and escaping through the vent hole 321 on the upper cap 32. This releases the internal gas and reduces the possibility of product failure due to excessive internal pressure. After the internal gas of the aluminum electrolytic capacitor is released, the elasticity of the elastic pressing member 38 causes the partition to re-block the through hole on the top rod 332, thereby reducing the chance of external impurities entering the capacitor.
[0031] The other parts of this embodiment are the same as those in Embodiment 1. Example 3
[0032] like Figure 6As shown, in this embodiment, the upper end cap and the connecting tube are integrally formed and can be made of resin or metal. An internal thread is provided in the central hole of the connecting tube, and the top rod 332 on the lower end cap 33 is provided with an external thread that matches the internal thread. Other parts of this embodiment are the same as in Embodiment 1. In this embodiment, the cover plate, upper end cap, and connecting tube can also be integrally formed. Example 4
[0033] like Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the upper end cap 32 and the cover plate are integrally molded and can be made of resin material. The connecting pipe can be made of resin material or metal material. The other parts of this embodiment are the same as in embodiment 1.
