Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of electronic device technology, and in particular relates to a vehicle-mounted horizontal electrolytic capacitor. Background Technology
[0002] In power supplies, aluminum electrolytic capacitors have become indispensable due to their high capacitance, high voltage, and reasonable price. In recent years, the application of leaded aluminum electrolytic capacitors with high voltage, large capacitance, and large ripple current has gradually increased.
[0003] With the development of new energy vehicles, many surface mount capacitors have been applied to them. Given the complex usage scenarios and safety considerations of automobiles, the installation requirements for surface mount capacitors used in automobiles are relatively high. It is necessary to ensure that the surface mount capacitors can be stably installed and fixed, and will not shake due to the vibration of the vehicle during long-term use, so as to avoid poor contact or loosening of contacts caused by shaking, which could lead to circuit failure.
[0004] However, the surface mount capacitors currently used in new energy vehicles do not adequately consider the installation and fixing issues. They are simply soldered to the circuit board with the positive and negative terminals. During long-term use of the vehicle, the capacitor is prone to shaking due to the bumps and vibrations of the car. Over time, this shaking can eventually cause the positive and negative terminals to loosen or be damaged, thus affecting the lifespan of the capacitor product.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to conduct research and development on the existing technologies to provide a solution that allows capacitors to be stably and securely mounted on circuit boards to adapt to complex application environments with various bumps and vibrations.

It should be noted that in some other embodiments, the inner sides of the plurality of support arms can also be configured with other shapes, such as being planar, with the inner sides of multiple support arms enclosing a square cavity to fit a square capacitor. In some embodiments, the outer side of each support arm is configured to be composed of multiple planes, with a reinforcing rib formed at the junction of every two planes, thus balancing the high strength of the base plate with its small volume.
[0041] Reference Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the plurality of support arms includes a first support arm 104, a second support arm 105, a third support arm 106, and a fourth support arm 107; wherein the first support arm 104, the second support arm 105, and the third support arm 106 are located on one half of the seat plate body 10, while the fourth support arm 107 is located on the other half of the seat plate body 10; the second support arm 105 is provided with a slot 101 between it and the first support arm 104 and the third support arm 106.

By providing the notch and the large-scale slot, the exposed area of the capacitor body is increased, which is beneficial to the heat dissipation of the capacitor body.
[0042] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the slot 101 is symmetrically arranged with the center line of the outer surface of the base plate body 10 as the center, and the terminal guide groove 102 is connected to the slot 101; correspondingly, the terminal guide groove 102 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the outer surface of the base plate body 10. In some embodiments, the width of the slot 102 is greater than or equal to the width of the terminal guide groove 102.
[0043] The terminal welding placement groove 103 includes a first placement groove 1031 and a second placement groove 1032. The first placement groove 1031 and the second placement groove 1032 form an L-shape on the bottom surface of the base plate body 10. The first placement groove 1031 and the second placement groove 1032 are respectively connected to the terminal guide groove 102. The connection between the first placement groove 1031, the second placement groove 1032 and the terminal guide groove 102 is set with an arc transition.
[0044] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, on the outer surface of the base plate body 10, the direction parallel to the outer surface of the base plate body 10 is defined as the width direction, and the direction perpendicular to the outer surface of the base plate body 10 is defined as the depth direction. In some embodiments, the depth d of the terminal guide groove 102 is equal to its width w; the width w of the first placement groove 1031... ` The first placement groove 1031 has the same width w as the terminal guide groove 102, and a depth d. ` The depth d of the terminal guide groove 102 is twice the width direction. On the bottom surface of the base plate body 10, the direction parallel to the bottom surface of the base plate body 10 is defined as the width direction, and the direction perpendicular to the bottom surface of the base plate body 10 is defined as the depth direction. In some embodiments, the depth of the second placement groove 1032 is equal to the depth of the terminal guide groove 102. In some embodiments, the width of the second placement groove 1032 is equal to the width of the terminal guide groove 102. In some embodiments, the width of the second placement groove 1032 is twice the width of the terminal guide groove.
[0045] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 9 As shown, specifically, the lead-out terminal 21 includes an extension 210 extending perpendicularly to the capacitor cover, a bent portion 211 bent into an L-shape from the end of the extension 210, and a welded portion 212 extending perpendicularly to the end of the bent portion 211. In some embodiments, the bent portion 211 is bent in a direction away from the center of the capacitor cover, and the welded portion 212 is bent in a direction closer to the center of the capacitor cover. The extension trajectory of the welded portion 212 is orthogonal to the axis of the capacitor body 100. In some embodiments, the plane defined by the welded portion 212 and the bent portion 211 is parallel to the plane where the capacitor cover is located.
[0046] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, the lead-out terminal 21 passes through the slot 101 on the base plate body. The length of the extension 210 of the lead-out terminal 21 is less than the thickness of the base plate body. The inner surface of the base plate contacts the surface of the capacitor cover plate, thereby allowing the capacitor body 100 to be stably mounted and fixed on the base plate, preventing the capacitor body 100 from shaking. The bent portion 211 of the lead-out terminal 21 is placed in the terminal guide groove 102 on the outer surface of the base plate body, and the shape and size of the bent portion 211 are adapted to the guide groove 102. The welding portion 212 of the lead-out terminal 21 is placed in the terminal welding placement groove 103 of the base plate body. In some embodiments, the diameter of the bent portion 211 of the lead-out terminal 21 is adapted to the width of the terminal guide groove 102, so that the bent portion 211 and the terminal guide groove 102 are in seamless contact and are tightly locked in the guide groove 102; in some embodiments, the surface of the bent portion 211 of the lead-out terminal 21 is flush with the outer surface of the base plate body; in some embodiments, the surface of the welding portion 212 of the lead-out terminal 21 is flush with or higher than the outer surface of the base plate body. With such a design, the capacitor can be mounted on the circuit board through the outer surface of the base plate body or through the bottom surface of the base plate body, and the mounting method is flexible and diverse.
[0047] It should be noted that, corresponding to the two slots 101 on the base plate body 10, the lead-out terminals include a positive lead-out terminal 21 and a negative lead-out terminal 22. The positive lead-out terminal and the negative lead-out terminal have the same structure and correspond to the two slots of the base plate body 10, respectively. In some embodiments, the distance between the two slots 101 is equal to the distance between the positive lead-out terminal 21 and the negative lead-out terminal 22.
[0048] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, when the capacitor body 100 is mounted on the surface mount capacitor base plate 200 of this invention, the positive and negative terminals 21 and 22 of the capacitor body 100 pass through the slot 101, are guided by the terminal guide groove 102, and then the soldering ends of the positive and negative terminals 21 and 22 are placed in the terminal soldering placement groove 103, and then soldered onto the circuit board. The bottom surface of the base plate body is tightly attached to the circuit board. In some embodiments, the width of the terminal guide groove 102 is set to match the diameter of the positive and negative terminals 21 and 22 of the capacitor, thereby ensuring that when the positive and negative terminals 21 and 22 of the capacitor are placed in the terminal guide groove, the positive and negative terminals 21 and 22 will not protrude above the bottom surface of the base plate body.
[0049] Specifically, the soldering portion 212 within the terminal soldering placement groove 103 is soldered onto the circuit board, and the solder fills the terminal soldering placement groove 103, thereby mounting the capacitor onto the circuit board in a secure and stable manner. Furthermore, the extension direction of the soldering portion 212 of the lead-out terminal 21 is perpendicular to the central axis of the capacitor body. After soldering onto the circuit board, the lateral resistance of the capacitor increases, preventing lateral rolling. Combined with the fixing effect of the base plate, the capacitor can be well fixed onto the circuit board, improving its vibration resistance.
[0050] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the terminal welding placement groove 103 is configured to include a first placement groove 1031 and a second placement groove 1032, thereby accommodating various positive and negative terminal lead-out structures of the capacitor. The bottom surface of the base plate body 10 is a flat surface, ensuring a large contact area and stable and secure mounting when the base plate is attached to the circuit board. It should be noted that the base plate can be fixed to the circuit board by dispensing adhesive or other methods.
[0051] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the inner and outer surfaces of the base plate body 10 are parallel to each other. The inner surface of the base plate body 10 is configured to fit the shape of the cover plate of the capacitor body 100, thereby ensuring that the capacitor body 100 can make full contact with the base plate 200 when it is installed on the base plate, resulting in a more robust and secure installation. In some embodiments, the base plate body 10 is also provided with a positioning groove 109, which is configured to divide the capacitor base plate 200 into two halves. In some embodiments, the positioning groove 109 connects the second support arm 105, the outer surface of the base plate body, and the fourth support arm 107. When the capacitor is installed on the circuit board, the base plate is fixed to the circuit board, and the soldering part in the terminal soldering placement groove is soldered to the circuit board. The solder fills the terminal soldering placement groove, thereby installing the capacitor on the circuit board in a robust and secure manner. In addition, the soldering part of the lead-out terminal is parallel to the side of the capacitor. After being soldered to the circuit board, the forces in the longitudinal and lateral directions of the capacitor are greatly increased, thereby ensuring that the capacitor is stably installed on the circuit board and has strong vibration resistance. Furthermore, the base plate of this utility model, through such a design, can take into account both small size and high strength, and can stably fix the capacitor on the circuit board; in addition, by setting slots and notches between the support arms, and setting the cavity for accommodating the capacitor to ensure that the capacitor can be accommodated while maximizing the exposed surface area of the capacitor, the heat dissipation performance of the capacitor is improved.
[0052] Reference Figure 6— Figure 8 As shown, the end of the capacitor body 100 with the cover plate is defined as the head of the capacitor body 100, and the other end of the capacitor body is defined as the tail of the capacitor body 100; in some embodiments, a capacitor mounting base 300 is installed at the tail of the capacitor body 100. (Refer to...) Figures 6-8 As shown, the capacitor mounting base 300 includes a base body 30, a plurality of support blocks perpendicular to the inner surface of the base body 30 at its periphery, and a welding piece 31 mounted on the base body 30; wherein, the inner sides of the plurality of support blocks together form a receiving space 301 for accommodating the tail of the capacitor body 100; the welding piece 31 is mounted on the bottom surface of the base body 30 for welding to a circuit board, thereby fixing the capacitor mounting base 300 to the circuit board, and thus stably mounting the capacitor body 100 on the circuit board.
[0053] Reference Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, the base 30 has a mounting hole 302 at one end near the bottom surface of the base for mounting the welding piece 31; the mounting hole 302 penetrates the inner surface and outer surface of the base 30, and after the welding piece 31 is mounted in the mounting hole 302, one side of the welding piece 31 is exposed on the inner surface of the base 30; the tail of the capacitor body 100 is placed in the receiving space 301 of the capacitor fixing base 300, closely fitting the inner surface of the base 30 and contacting the welding piece 31.
[0054] Reference Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, the welding piece 31 includes a mounting portion 310 and a welding portion 311 bent perpendicular to the mounting portion 310. In some embodiments, the mounting portion 310 is mounted at the mounting hole 302 of the base, and a retaining piece 3101 is provided at the end of the mounting portion 310, which is held in place by the retaining piece 3101 on the inner surface of the base. The welding portion 311 is attached to the bottom surface of the base and protrudes from the bottom surface of the base. In some embodiments, the welding portion 311 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the base, thereby making the capacitor fixing plate more stable when mounted on the circuit board. In some embodiments, the base 30 is also provided with a slot 32 penetrating the inner surface and the outer surface of the base; the bottom surface of the base 30 is set as a flat plane for mounting and fixing the capacitor fixing plate on the circuit board.
[0055] Reference Figures 6-8As shown, in one embodiment, the plurality of support blocks includes a first support block 33, a second support block 34, a third support block 35, and a fourth support block 36; wherein the first support block 33, the second support block 34, and the third support block 35 are located on one half of the base, and the fourth support block 36 is located on the other half of the base; slots 32 are respectively provided between the second support block 34 and the first support block 33 and the third support block 35. A groove 37 is provided between the first support block 33 and the fourth support block 36, and correspondingly, a groove 37 is also provided between the third support block 35 and the fourth support block 36; the groove 37 is higher than the inner surface of the base. (Refer to...) Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the inner side of the fourth support block 36 is L-shaped at the position corresponding to the mounting hole 302 of the base. With this design, the inner surface of the receiving space 301 for mounting the capacitor is not completely arc-shaped, thereby increasing the friction between the receiving space 301 and the capacitor surface and preventing the capacitor body 100 from rotating. In addition, by hollowing out, the material can be reduced and the weight of the capacitor fixing plate can be reduced.
[0056] Reference Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, there are two mounting holes 302, which are respectively located at the two corners of the fourth support block 36 near the bottom surface of the base; corresponding to the mounting holes 302, there are two welding pieces 31, which are respectively installed at the two mounting holes.
[0057] Reference Figures 6-8 As shown, the slots 32 are symmetrically arranged around the centerline of the outer surface of the base, and the outer surface of the base also has channels 38 communicating with the slots 32. When installing and fixing the capacitor, the base 30 mainly bears the weight on the half where the fourth support block 36 is located. Therefore, this design balances the structural strength and overall weight of the capacitor fixing plate. By setting slots and grooves, materials can be reduced and weight can be lightened without affecting the overall strength of the capacitor fixing plate. At the same time, the exposed area of the capacitor can be increased, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect. In some embodiments, the base 30 is also provided with a groove 39, which is configured to divide the capacitor fixing plate into two halves. In some embodiments, the groove 39 connects the second support block 34, the outer surface of the base, and the fourth support block 36.
