Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of electronic device technology, and in particular relates to an explosion-proof and flame-retardant capacitor. Background Technology
[0002] Among various capacitors, explosion-proof and flame-retardant capacitors are more popular than other types of capacitors. For the same size, aluminum electrolytic capacitors can achieve a larger CV value per unit area, store more charge, and are cheaper.
[0003] Explosion-proof and flame-retardant capacitors are generally equipped with explosion-proof structures, such as explosion-proof valves or explosion-proof holes. Typically, the explosion-proof devices of most explosion-proof and flame-retardant capacitors are located on the aluminum shell, such as explosion-proof holes or explosion-proof valves designed on the bottom or side. The main purpose is that during the use of the explosion-proof and flame-retardant capacitor, if a performance abnormality occurs and the capacitor itself heats up, the electrolyte inside the capacitor will vaporize and generate a large amount of gas inside the shell. When the gas pressure exceeds the pressure release value of the explosion-proof valve, the explosion-proof valve will open, releasing the electrolyte and gas, thus preventing the capacitor from exploding.
[0004] Although most aluminum electrolytic capacitors are designed with explosion-proof structures, capacitor bursting can still occur. Explosion-proof and flame-retardant capacitors, because their electrolyte is primarily composed of ethylene glycol and polymer materials, which are flammable, and adsorbed onto the electrolytic paper, which is also flammable, can easily cause the capacitor core to ignite upon bursting due to the spark. Once a capacitor catches fire, it can damage the entire device using the capacitor, or even cause a serious fire, endangering the user's property and life. Therefore, the explosion-proof and flame-retardant design of explosion-proof capacitors is extremely important.
