Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to capacitors, and more particularly to a capacitor with terminals directly protruding from the side. Background Technology
[0002] Automotive capacitors are capacitors used in automotive circuits to store and hold electrical charge.
[0003] A capacitor is an electrical component formed by two conductors separated by an insulating material but placed close to each other. Automotive capacitors, as indispensable electronic components in the field of electrical electronics, play a crucial role in automotive circuits. They can be charged and discharged, offering higher charging and discharging efficiency than batteries. Automotive capacitors come in various types, including but not limited to air capacitors, ceramic capacitors, electrolytic capacitors, mica capacitors, and film capacitors, which are selected based on the specific requirements of the automotive circuitry.
[0004] Currently, the terminals of automotive capacitors are led out from the back of the capacitor and need to be bypassed by the capacitor casing and installed synchronously from one side of the capacitor alongside another terminal. This installation method can easily lead to insulation and interference risks between the copper busbar and other components inside the casing. With the development of capacitors and installation positions, it is now necessary for the capacitor terminals to be led out directly from the side wall of the capacitor.
[0005] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings, the designer actively researched and innovated in order to create a capacitor with direct side terminal output, which would make it more valuable for industrial use. Utility Model Content
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a capacitor with terminals directly extending from the side.
[0007] The present invention relates to a capacitor with a direct-out terminal block on the side, comprising a housing, wherein multiple capacitors are fixed inside the housing by means of glue injection, one side of the housing is open, and the other side of the housing has a slot for the terminal block to slide into, and the terminal block is covered with an insulating sleeve.
[0008] For this type of capacitor with terminals extending directly from the side, an insulating sleeve is placed over the terminal, and then the insulating sleeve is snapped into a slot in the housing to complete the installation. The insulating sleeve increases the insulation between the terminals and also improves the stability of the terminals after installation.
[0009] Furthermore, the insulating sleeve includes two sleeves that enclose the terminals, with a gap between the sleeves.
[0010] The two sleeves on the insulating sleeve are each matched with a terminal block.
[0011] Furthermore, the sleeve has an adapter block at its tail end that mates with the slot.
[0012] The adapter block and the sleeve are integrally formed, which increases the structural stability of the sleeve.
[0013] Furthermore, the upper and lower ends of the adapter block have raised ridges, and the inner side of the slot has a limiting groove that mates with the raised ridges. The limiting groove is located on the extension plate.
[0014] The adapter block is engaged with the limiting groove on the outer shell by a convex rib, which facilitates installation and ensures a sturdy structure after installation.
[0015] Furthermore, the inner side of the extension plate has a first limiting rib, and the outer end of the first limiting rib extends outward.
[0016] The first limiting rib on the extension plate can fit tightly with the glue after it is poured, and the stability between the shell and the glue can be increased after the glue solidifies.
[0017] Furthermore, there is a second limiting rib protruding inward inside the outer shell, and the outer end of the second limiting rib expands outward.
[0018] The second limiting rib on the outer shell has the same function as the first limiting rib, which also increases the stability between the outer shell and the adhesive.
[0019] Furthermore, the second limiting ribs are located on both sides of the slot.
[0020] The second limiting ribs are located on both sides of the slot, increasing the overall strength of the slot opening after the glue has solidified.
[0021] By means of the above solution, the present invention has at least the following advantages: This capacitor with terminals directly extending from the side leads out both terminals from the slot position on one side of the capacitor housing, and provides insulating sleeves for insulating the two terminals. The insulating sleeves are tightly fitted to the housing to prevent them from falling off, and also improve the overall strength between the terminals and the housing, making it suitable for vehicle vibration environments.
[0022] The above description is only an overview of the technical solution of this utility model. In order to better understand the technical means of this utility model and to implement it in accordance with the contents of the specification, the preferred embodiments of this invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit its scope.
[0028] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 A capacitor with terminals extending directly from the side has a semi-frame structure with one side open. After the capacitor 2 and the connecting copper busbar are placed inside the casing 1, glue is injected by potting. After the glue solidifies, it fixes the capacitor 2 and the casing 1 together. Before the capacitor 2 and the connecting copper busbar are inserted into the casing 1, the insulating sleeve 4 needs to be placed on the two leading terminals. Then the insulating sleeve 4 is snapped into the slot 3 on one side of the casing 1 to complete the assembly.
[0029] The insulator 4 has two sleeves 5, which are used for the terminals to pass through. The sleeves 5 are made of insulating material and serve the purpose of insulation protection.
[0030] The adapter block 6 at the tail end of the sleeve 5 is used to cooperate with the slot 4 to complete the fixed installation of the insulating sleeve 4.
[0031] The limiting groove 8 is located inside the extension plate 10. The extension plate 10 and the notch of the slot 3 are integrally formed. The protrusion 7 on the adapter block 6 slides and rotates with the limiting groove 8, which facilitates the insertion of the adapter block 6 and the assembly of the insulating sleeve 4.
[0032] The inner side of the outer shell 1 and the end of the extension plate 10 are respectively provided with a second limiting rib 9 and a first limiting rib 11. The ends of the second limiting rib 9 and the first limiting rib 11 are both extended outward. After the glue is filled, the glue can completely cover the second limiting rib 9 and the first limiting rib 11, so that the outer shell 1 is more firmly bonded to the glue.
[0033] The second limiting rib 9 is located on both sides of the opening of the slot 3, which can improve the strength of the slot 3 position of the outer shell 1.
[0034] Finally, the following points should be noted: First, in the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection", and "linkage" should be interpreted broadly, and can be mechanical or electrical connections, or internal connections between two components, or direct connections.
