Abstract
Description
Technical Field

[0002] Capacitors are widely used in wireless communication, radio frequency identification (RFID), radar systems, and other high-frequency electronic devices. They play a role in filtering, coupling, and decoupling in circuits, effectively processing high-frequency signals. With the development of technology, some circuit systems, such as those used in three-level platforms in rail transit systems, have higher frequency requirements for capacitors. For common DC support capacitors, the typical ripple current frequency is 50Hz, but the capacitors used in three-level platform circuit systems for rail transit systems require a frequency of 36kHz.

[0025] Furthermore, although specific embodiments have been described herein with reference to them, it should be understood that these embodiments are merely examples of the principles and applications of the present invention. Therefore, it should be understood that many modifications can be made to the exemplary embodiments, and other arrangements can be designed without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims. It should be understood that different dependent claims and features herein can be combined in ways not used as described in the original claims. It is also understood that features described in conjunction with individual embodiments can be used in other embodiments.
[0026] To solve the above problems, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model provides a low-inductance capacitor, including a main body, a first electrode 11 and a second electrode 12. The first electrode 11 and the second electrode 12 have the same shape and size. The central axis of the first electrode 11 and the central axis of the second electrode 12 are parallel to each other. Both the first electrode 11 and the second electrode 12 are electrically connected to the main body.
[0027] In this embodiment, a first electrode 11 and a second electrode 12 electrically connected to the main body of the capacitor are provided on the main body to lead out the positive and negative terminals of the capacitor, respectively. The first electrode 11 and the second electrode 12 have the same shape and size, and the central axis of the first electrode 11 and the central axis of the second electrode 12 are parallel to each other, so that the current flowing through the first electrode 11 and the second electrode 12 is the same in magnitude and opposite in direction. According to the right-hand screw rule, the magnetic field lines generated by the first electrode 11 and the second electrode 12 can largely cancel each other out, thereby reducing the inductance of the capacitor.
[0028] Specifically, according to the formula
[0029] Where f is the resonant frequency, L is the inductance, and C is the capacitance, it can be seen that the resonant frequency of the capacitor is inversely proportional to the inductance. Reducing the inductance of the capacitor can increase the resonant frequency and prevent the capacitor from resonating with the circuit system; both the first electrode 11 and the second electrode 12 can be circular structures.
[0030] Optionally, such as Figure 2 As shown, the low-inductance capacitor also includes a first electrode 131 and a second electrode 132 that are parallel to each other. The first electrode 11 is connected to the side of the first electrode 131 away from the second electrode 132, and the second electrode 12 is connected to the side of the second electrode 132 close to the first electrode 131. A connection hole is provided on the first electrode 131, and the second electrode 12 passes through the connection hole. Both the first electrode 131 and the second electrode 132 are electrically connected to the main body.
[0031] In this embodiment, a first electrode plate 131 is connected below the first electrode 11, and the first electrode 11 and the first electrode plate 131 are integrally formed. Correspondingly, a second electrode plate 132 is connected below the second electrode 12, and the second electrode 12 and the second electrode plate 132 are integrally formed. A connection hole is opened on the first electrode 11 for the second electrode 12 to pass through. The second electrode 12 passes through the connection hole from below the first electrode plate 131. Both the first electrode plate 131 and the second electrode plate 132 are electrically connected to the main body, so that the first electrode 11 and the second electrode 12 can be simultaneously set on the same side of the main body, which facilitates the connection of the capacitor to an external circuit.
[0032] Optionally, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the main body includes a core 2 and a first connecting piece 3. The core 2 includes a plurality of arrayed elements 21. One side of the plurality of elements 21 is connected to the second electrode plate 132, and the other side of the plurality of elements 21 is connected to the first connecting piece 3. The first electrode plate 131 is electrically connected to the side of the first connecting piece 3 away from the elements 21.
[0033] In this embodiment, the main body of the capacitor includes a core 2, which includes multiple arrayed elements 21. Specifically, by providing a first connecting piece 3, multiple elements 21 are connected to one side of the first connecting piece 3, making it easy to connect multiple elements 21 into a whole. The other side of the first connecting piece 3 is electrically connected to the first electrode plate 131, thereby enabling the first electrode plate 131 to be electrically connected to multiple elements 21 through the first connecting piece 3. The side of multiple elements 21 away from the first connecting piece 3 is connected to the second electrode plate 132, allowing current to flow through the first electrode 11, the first electrode plate 131, the first connecting piece 3, the elements 21, the second electrode plate 132, and the second electrode 12, electrically connecting the first electrode 11, the second electrode 12, and the main body.
[0034] Specifically, the core 2 may include 21 elements 21 arranged in three rows and seven columns, and the elements 21 are made of two layers of metallized polypropylene film wound together.
[0035] Optionally, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the main body also includes a second connecting piece 4, which has a U-shaped structure. The inner walls of one side of the two second connecting pieces 4 are respectively connected to the two ends of the side of the first connecting piece 3 facing away from the core 2 along the width direction, and the inner walls of the other side of the two second connecting pieces 4 are respectively connected to the two ends of the first electrode plate 131 along the width direction.
[0036] In this embodiment, by setting a second connecting piece 4, which is a U-shaped structure with the opening of the U-shape facing horizontally, the lower inner walls of the two second connecting pieces 4 are respectively connected to the two ends of the lower surface of the first connecting piece 3 along the width direction, and the upper inner walls of the two second connecting pieces 4 are respectively connected to the two ends of the first electrode plate 131 along the width direction, so that the two second connecting pieces 4 are fastened to the two ends of the core 2 along the width direction. The first electrode plate 131 is connected to the first connecting piece 3 through the second connecting pieces 4, so that the current can flow through the first electrode 11, the first electrode plate 131, the second connecting piece 4, the first connecting piece 3, the element 21, the second electrode plate 132, and the second electrode 12. The current flows from the first electrode 11 to the first connecting piece 3 and the element 21 along the second connecting pieces 4 at both ends of the width direction of the core 2. Compared with using one second connecting piece 4 for single-sided connection, using two connecting pieces 2 increases the overall area of the connecting pieces, improves the heat dissipation effect, increases the composite degree of the first connecting piece 3 and the second connecting piece 4, that is, the overlap area, reduces the inductance, reduces the resistance, thereby reducing the heat generated during the use of the capacitor and improving the service life of the capacitor.
[0037] Optionally, all of the components 21 are soldered onto the first connecting piece 3.
[0038] In this embodiment, by welding multiple components 21 onto the first connecting plate, the multiple components 21 are easily electrically connected into a whole.
[0039] Optionally, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the main body also includes two first insulating plates 5, one of which is disposed between a second connecting piece 4 and the core 2, and the other of which is disposed between another second connecting piece 4 and the core 2.
[0040] In this embodiment, a first insulating plate 5 is provided between the second connecting piece 4 and the core 2. There are two first insulating plates 5 and two connecting pieces 4. The first insulating plate 5 can be an L-shaped structure. The horizontal end of the L-shaped structure is located between the upper surface of the core 2 and the side wall of the second connecting piece 4 located above the core 2. The vertical end of the L-shaped structure is located between the side wall of the core 2 and the bottom wall of the second connecting piece 4. Since the lower side wall of the second connecting piece 4 and the lower surface of the core 2 are the first connecting piece 3, the second connecting piece 4 and the core 2 do not contact each other. The two first insulating plates 5 are respectively provided between the two second connecting pieces 4 and the core 2, which insulates the second connecting piece 4 from the core 2 and prevents the current from flowing directly from the second connecting piece 4 to the component 21 adjacent to the second connecting piece 4, and thus preventing the current from flowing to all components 21.
[0041] Optionally, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the main body also includes a second insulating plate 6, which is disposed between the first electrode plate 131 and the second electrode plate 132. The second insulating plate 6 has a through hole for the second electrode 12 to pass through. An upwardly extending insulating ring is provided on the hole wall of the through hole. The second electrode 12 passes through the through hole and the connecting hole. The insulating ring is located between the hole wall of the connecting hole and the peripheral surface of the second electrode 12.
[0042] In this embodiment, a second insulating plate 6 is provided, on which through holes are formed for the second electrode 12 to pass through. The number and position of the through holes correspond to the number and position of the second electrodes 12. The second insulating plate 6 is disposed between the first electrode plate 131 and the second electrode plate 132, and an upwardly extending insulating ring is provided on the hole wall of the through hole. The insulating ring can extend into the through hole. When the second electrode 12 passes through the through hole and the connecting hole in sequence, the insulating ring is located between the hole wall of the connecting hole and the peripheral surface of the second electrode 12, isolating the second electrode 12 from the first electrode plate 131, realizing the separation of the first electrode 11 and the second electrode 12, preventing the current from flowing directly from the first electrode 11 to the second electrode 12, causing the capacitor to fail, and playing the role of insulating the first electrode 11 and the second electrode 12.
[0043] Optionally, the second insulating plate 6 is made of epoxy resin.
[0044] In this embodiment, the second insulating plate 6 is manufactured by using epoxy resin. Epoxy resin has insulating properties, which facilitates the second insulating plate 6 to insulate the first electrode 11 and the second electrode 12.
[0045] Specifically, the first insulating plate 5 is also supported by epoxy resin, which facilitates the insulation of the second connecting piece 4 with the core 2.
[0046] Optionally, such as Figure 1 As shown, there are multiple first electrodes 11 and multiple second electrodes 12, and the multiple first electrodes 11 and multiple second electrodes 12 are connected in an array on the main body.
[0047] In this embodiment, by setting multiple first electrodes 11 and second electrodes 12, and having the same number of first electrodes 11 and second electrodes 12 in a one-to-one correspondence, and arranging them in an array on the main body, it is convenient for the capacitor to be connected to the external circuit system.
[0048] Another embodiment of the present invention includes a circuit system comprising the aforementioned low-inductance capacitor.
[0049] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the circuit system in this embodiment are roughly the same as those of the low-inductance capacitor described above, and will not be repeated here.
[0050] Although the present invention has been disclosed above, its protection scope is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and all such changes and modifications will fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
