DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0021] The utility model discloses a specific embodiment as follows and further describes the technical scheme of the utility model in connection with the drawings, but the utility model is not limited to these embodiments.
[0022] As Figures 1 to 4 The utility model discloses a kind of explosion-proof capacitors, including explosion-proof shell 1, installation seat 2 is provided on explosion-proof shell 1, core body 3 is installed on installation seat 2, through-hole 21 is opened in installation seat 2, cover plate 4 is installed on the top of explosion-proof shell 1, vent hole 11 is opened in the bottom of explosion-proof shell 1, vent valve 5 is installed in vent hole 11, installation groove 12 is opened in the both sides of vent hole 11, limit plate 6 is installed in installation groove 12, corresponding limit slot is opened in the top of vent valve 5, limit plate 6 is provided with fracture zone 61.
[0023] The installation of installation seat 2 is used to separate the space between core body 3 and explosion-proof shell 1, facilitate gas circulation;Vent hole 11 is the passage for gas release in explosion-proof shell 1, the setting of vent valve 5 makes gas release after reaching certain pressure;Limit plate 6 is used to limit vent valve 5 to send out vent hole 11 due to the push of gas;The opening of fracture zone 61 makes fracture zone 61 break when gas reaches certain condition, so that vent valve 5 is pushed out by gas.
[0024] As Figure 2 And Figure 3 Vent hole 11 is installed with dust screen 7, as shown in the drawings. Because explosion-proof shell 1 needs to be reused, so that vent valve 5 may bring external air during exhaust process, dust screen 7 can prevent impurities in external air from flowing into explosion-proof shell 1.
[0025] As Figure 2 And Figure 3 Tapered portion 51 is provided on vent valve 5, and sealing pad 511 is sleeved on tapered portion 51. Tapered portion 51 and sealing pad 511 cooperate to seal vent hole 11, to prevent external air from communicating with explosion-proof shell 1.
[0026] As Figure 2 And Figure 3 Vent pipe 52 is provided below tapered portion 51, and air outlet 521 is opened in vent pipe 52. Vent pipe 52 serves as a passage for discharging gas, and when vent valve 5 moves out of vent hole 11, gas is discharged through air outlet 521.
[0027] As Figure 3 Reset portion 53 extends below vent pipe 52, and spring one 54 is arranged between reset portion 53 and explosion-proof shell 1. Reset portion 53 is used to reset vent valve 5, so that vent valve 5 is reset by cooperating with spring one 54 after completing exhaust to reduce the internal pressure of explosion-proof gas, so that vent valve 5 can repeatedly exhaust.
[0028] As Figure 3 shown, the reset part 53 is provided with a guide rod 531, and the explosion-proof housing 1 is provided with a guide hole 13. The guide rod 531 cooperates with the guide hole 13 to guide the movement of the breather valve 5, preventing the breather valve 5 from deviating during movement, which causes the breather valve 5 and the breather hole 11 to fail to be in close contact.
[0029] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the mounting groove 12 is provided with a clamping groove 121, the limiting plate 6 is provided with a clamping rod 62, and the mounting groove 12 is provided with a recess 122 at the end away from the breather valve 5. The limiting plate 6 is installed in the mounting groove 12 by clamping the clamping rod 62 into the clamping groove 121, facilitating the replacement of the limiting plate 6; the recess 122 is provided to facilitate the user to take out the limiting plate 6.
[0030] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 shown, the mounting groove 12 is rotatably provided with a fixing strip 8, the fixing strip 8 is provided with a limiting hole 81, the explosion-proof housing 1 is provided with a limiting block 9, and the limiting block 9 and the mounting groove 12 are provided with a spring 91. The fixing strip 8 is used to limit the rotation of the limiting plate 6, preventing the displacement of the limiting plate 6 caused by the pushing of the breather hole 11, which causes the breather valve 5 to be opened when the pressure in the explosion-proof housing 1 does not reach the set value; the limiting block 9 is used to clamp the explosion-proof housing 1 and the fixing strip 8; and the spring 91 is used to reset the limiting block 9.
[0031] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the spirit of the present application. Those skilled in the art of the present application can make various modifications or supplements to the described specific embodiments or use similar ways to replace them, without deviating from the spirit of the present application or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.
[0032] Although various terms are used herein, the possibility of using other terms is not excluded. These terms are used only to more conveniently describe and explain the essence of the present application; any interpretation of them as any kind of additional limitation is contrary to the spirit of the present application.
