Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of aluminum electrolytic capacitor technology, and in particular to surface-mount aluminum electrolytic capacitors with anti-corrosion function. Background Technology

[0002] As a key passive component in electronic circuits, aluminum electrolytic capacitors are widely used in power supply filtering, signal coupling, energy storage and other fields due to their advantages such as high capacitance density and low cost. Surface mount aluminum electrolytic capacitors have become the first choice for modern high-density electronic equipment due to their miniaturization and surface mount technology (SMT) compatibility.

[0003] However, as electronic devices expand into extreme environments, such as high temperature and humidity, industrial dust, vibration and shock, traditional capacitors are mostly encapsulated with epoxy resin or plastic. Their sealing performance is easily degraded under long-term humid and hot cycling, especially in high temperature, humid and dusty environments, which leads to increased leakage current and accelerated capacity decay.

[0004] Electrolyte is prone to vaporization and expansion under high temperature or overpressure conditions; existing pressure relief structures mostly use single linear grooves, which are prone to forming irregular cracks when they rupture. After pressure relief, they cannot maintain an effective seal, and external contaminants can enter back through the cracks, causing the internal electrolyte to dry out and fail.

[0005] Traditional leak-proof designs rely on the physical seal between the pins and the base, but due to the difference in thermal expansion coefficients, micron-level gaps are easily generated under temperature cycling; the electrolyte can migrate along the pins at a rate of up to 0.5 mm / h through capillary action, leading to corrosion of the copper foil on the circuit board.

[0006] In other words, existing technologies have the following technical problems: ordinary aluminum electrolytic capacitors are prone to electrolyte leakage and corrosion in high-temperature and high-humidity environments. Therefore, a surface-mount aluminum electrolytic capacitor with anti-corrosion function is proposed to address the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0007] This embodiment provides a surface-mount aluminum electrolytic capacitor with anti-corrosion function to solve the problem of corrosion caused by electrolyte leakage in ordinary aluminum electrolytic capacitors with ordinary terminals in the prior art under high temperature and high humidity environments.

[0008] According to one aspect of this application, a surface-mount aluminum electrolytic capacitor with corrosion resistance is provided, the surface-mount aluminum electrolytic capacitor with corrosion resistance comprising:

[0009] An aluminum electrolytic capacitor body, wherein a fixed base assembly is fixedly connected to the bottom of the aluminum electrolytic capacitor body, the fixed base assembly includes a base and surface mount pins, and surface mount pins are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom surface of the base.

[0010] A protective housing assembly is disposed on the outer surface of the aluminum electrolytic capacitor body and is fixedly connected to the aluminum electrolytic capacitor body. The protective housing assembly is used to protect the aluminum electrolytic capacitor body and prevent electrolyte leakage.

[0011] Furthermore, the aluminum electrolytic capacitor body includes a capacitor body, leads, and scribe lines, with scribe lines provided on the upper surface of the capacitor body.

[0012] Furthermore, the scoring lines are cross-shaped.

[0013] Furthermore, the protective housing assembly includes a protective housing, a thermally conductive sheet, a rubber sealing ring, and a polymer hydrogel ring. The protective housing is fixedly disposed on the outer surface of the capacitor body, and a rubber sealing ring is fixedly connected to the contact end face between the protective housing and the capacitor body.

[0014] Furthermore, several heat-conducting fins are fixedly disposed on the outer surface of the protective shell.

[0015] Furthermore, several of the heat-conducting sheets are arranged in a ring, with one end of each heat-conducting sheet extending to the outer wall of the capacitor body and contacting the capacitor body.

[0016] Furthermore, a polymer hydrogel ring is fixedly connected to the upper wall of the inner cavity of the protective shell, and the bottom surface of the polymer hydrogel ring is in contact with the upper surface of the capacitor body.

[0017] Furthermore, the capacitor body has pins on its bottom surface, and these pins are connected to surface mount pins.

[0018] Furthermore, the pins are wavy, and several V-shaped grooves are formed on the outer surface of the heat-conducting sheet.

[0019] Furthermore, a circular groove is provided on the upper surface of the base, and a flow guide groove extends from the side of the circular groove to the pin position of the capacitor body. The interior of the circular groove is filled with a polymer hydrogel sheet.

[0020] In order to solve the problem that ordinary surface-mount aluminum electrolytic capacitors are prone to reduced lifespan due to external moisture and dust corrosion when used in high temperature, humidity or dust environments for a long time, this application designs a protective shell assembly. The protective shell assembly can effectively protect the aluminum electrolytic capacitor body, improve heat dissipation, and further effectively prevent electrolyte leakage that could lead to circuit board corrosion. It is suitable for widespread use. Attached Figure Description

[0037] Please see Figure 1-6 As shown, a surface-mount aluminum electrolytic capacitor with anti-corrosion function includes:

[0038] An aluminum electrolytic capacitor body 1, with a fixed base assembly 2 fixedly connected to the bottom of the aluminum electrolytic capacitor body 1. The fixed base assembly 2 includes a base 201 and surface mount pins 202. Surface mount pins 202 are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom surface of the base 201.

[0039] The protective housing assembly 3 is disposed on the outer surface of the aluminum electrolytic capacitor body 1 and is fixedly connected to the aluminum electrolytic capacitor body 1. The protective housing assembly 3 is used to protect the aluminum electrolytic capacitor body 1 and prevent electrolyte leakage.

[0040] Through the above technical solution, the protective shell component 3 can effectively protect the aluminum electrolytic capacitor body 1, while improving the heat dissipation effect. Furthermore, it can effectively avoid the problem of electrolyte leakage causing corrosion of the circuit board, making it suitable for widespread use.

[0041] The aluminum electrolytic capacitor body 1 includes a capacitor body 101, leads 102 and scribing lines 103, and the scribing lines 103 are provided on the upper surface of the capacitor body 101.

[0042] The scribing line 103 is cross-shaped. Through this technical solution, the scribing line 103 can play a role in relieving pressure. When the internal pressure of the capacitor body 101 is too high, the scribing line breaks and forms a crack, thereby relieving pressure.

[0043] The protective shell assembly 3 includes a protective shell 301, a heat-conducting sheet 302, a rubber sealing ring 303, and a polymer hydrogel ring 304. The protective shell 301 is fixedly disposed on the outer surface of the capacitor body 101. The rubber sealing ring 303 is fixedly connected to the contact end face between the protective shell 301 and the capacitor body 101. Through this technical solution, the protective shell 301 can protect the capacitor body 101, effectively preventing corrosion caused by external dust and moisture. At the same time, it can also protect against cracks generated during pressure relief, preventing external corrosion damage caused by external forces entering the interior of the capacitor body 101 through the cracks.

[0044] Several heat-conducting plates 302 are fixedly installed on the outer surface of the protective shell 301.

[0045] The heat-conducting sheets 302 are arranged in a ring. One end of each heat-conducting sheet 302 extends to the outer wall of the capacitor body 101 and contacts the capacitor body 101. Through this technical solution, the heat-conducting sheets 302 can conduct heat and increase the air contact area, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the aluminum electrolytic capacitor body 1.

[0046] A polymer hydrogel ring 304 is fixedly connected to the upper wall of the inner cavity of the protective shell 301. The bottom surface of the polymer hydrogel ring 304 is in contact with the upper surface of the capacitor body 101. Through this technical solution, the polymer hydrogel ring 304 can absorb electrolyte leakage when it occurs, thus avoiding corrosion and pollution caused by leakage.

[0047] The capacitor body 101 has pins 102 on its bottom surface, and the pins 102 are connected to the surface mount pins 202.

[0048] The pin 102 is wavy, and several V-shaped grooves 1021 are formed on the outer surface of the heat-conducting sheet 302. With this technical solution, when the electrolyte inside the capacitor flows along the pin 102 through capillary action, the wavy pin 102 can greatly increase the flow distance, thereby reducing the phenomenon of flowing into the circuit board. At the same time, the V-shaped grooves 1021 can further act as a barrier when the electrolyte flows along the pin 102, further reducing the phenomenon of seeping into the circuit board.

[0049] A circular groove 203 is provided on the upper surface of the base 201. A guide groove 204 extends from the side of the circular groove 203 and extends to the pin position of the capacitor body 101. The interior of the circular groove 203 is filled with a polymer hydrogel sheet 205. With this technical solution, when electrolyte seeps out at the pin position, the guide groove 204 can guide the electrolyte, allowing it to flow into the interior of the circular groove 203 and be absorbed by the polymer hydrogel sheet 205, thus avoiding the phenomenon of electrolyte corroding the circuit board.

[0050] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
