[0059] In combination with Figure 3 and Figure 4, shows the internal structure of the capacitor protection cover in an embodiment of the application. In some embodiments, in order to ensure that the capacitor protection cover has sufficient creepage distance, the first shell 100 is provided with a plurality of first limiting ribs 120, which are arranged at intervals on the inner side wall of the first accommodating cavity 100A. The second shell 200 is provided with a plurality of second limiting ribs 220, which are arranged at intervals on the inner side wall of the second accommodating cavity 200A. The first shell 100 is also provided with a plurality of third limiting ribs 150, which are arranged on the end face of the first shell 100 facing the top of the capacitor 10. The second shell 200 is provided with a plurality of fourth limiting ribs 250, which are arranged on the end face of the second shell 200 facing the top of the capacitor 10. By arranging the plurality of first limiting ribs 120 and the plurality of second limiting ribs 220, when the capacitor 10 is installed in the capacitor protection cover, the first limiting ribs 120 and the second limiting ribs 220 limit the radial direction of the capacitor 10.

[0060] In an optional embodiment, the plurality of first limiting ribs 120 and the plurality of second limiting ribs 220 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence in the axial direction of the capacitor protection cover, so that the corresponding first limiting ribs 120 and second limiting ribs 220 form a circular ring when the first shell 100 and the second shell 200 are combined, thereby limiting the outer side wall of the capacitor 10.

This minimum inner diameter is equal to the maximum outer diameter of the capacitor 10 applicable to the capacitor shield, thereby making the capacitor shield suitable for capacitors 10 of different sizes. When a capacitor 10 with an outer diameter smaller than the minimum inner diameter is installed in the capacitor shield, the creepage distance of the capacitor 10 relative to the capacitor shield also meets the safety requirements.

By arranging the first connecting hole 412A on one side of the first housing 100 opposite the connecting member 300 and the second connecting hole 422A on one side of the second housing 200 opposite the connecting member 300, the worker can connect the fastener through the first connecting hole 412A and the second connecting hole 422A after pre-assembling the capacitor protection cover, so as to tightly connect the first connecting part 412 and the second connecting part 422, and thus tightly connect the first housing 100 and the second housing 200, ensure that the gap between the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 meets the electrical clearance requirement of the safety standard, and meet the requirement of not being directly disassembled of the safety standard, avoid the situation of electric leakage, and have the advantage of high safety performance.

[0067] In another embodiment, the first connecting part 412 is provided with the second connecting hole 422A, and the second connecting part 422 is provided with the first connecting hole 412A.

In other embodiments, the first connecting hole 412A and the second connecting hole 422A can also be both arranged as connecting through holes. By penetrating a bolt through the two connecting through holes, the purpose of tightly connecting the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 after connecting by the fastener can also be achieved.

[0069] In an exemplary embodiment, the fastener mounted on the first connecting hole 412A and the second connecting hole 422A is a screw or a bolt.

[0070] In an optional embodiment, as Figures 1 to 3As shown, the two clamps 411 are arranged on one side of the first shell 100, and the two buckles 421 are arranged on one side of the second shell 200. The first connecting portion 412 is arranged between the two clamps 411, and the second connecting portion 422 is arranged between the two buckles 421. By arranging the two clamps 411 and the two buckles 421 at the positions of the two ends of the side edge of the capacitor protection cover along the axis, the first connecting portion 412 and the second connecting portion 422 are arranged near the middle position of the side wall of the capacitor protection cover, so that the gap of the capacitor protection cover at the two ends is pressed by the clamps 411 and the buckles 421. The electrical gap between the first shell 100 and the second shell 200 can be effectively ensured to be less than 1.5 mm, and the safety performance of the capacitor protection cover can be improved.
