[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model. Example 1

[0024] Please see Figures 1-6 This utility model discloses a self-healing low-voltage parallel capacitor device, including a protective shell 1 and a capacitor cover 2 disposed on the protective shell 1, as well as a capacitor connection assembly 3, an explosion-proof assembly 4, a filter assembly 5, and a core assembly 6, wherein:

[0025] The capacitor cover 2 includes a top cover 21, which is fixed to the cover groove 22 by screws. A filter groove 221 is provided in the middle of the cover groove 22, and electrical connection grooves 222 are symmetrically provided on both sides of the filter groove 221.

[0026] Please refer to the appendix. Figure 4The capacitor connection assembly 3 includes a connection bolt 31, which passes through the outer side of the connection groove 222 and is locked. A conductive piece 32 is provided on the connection bolt 31. One side of the conductive piece 32 abuts against the electrode piece 33 and is locked by the bolt. A pressure plate 34 is provided on one side of the electrode piece 33. The pressure plate 34 is welded to the connection groove 222 by a spring 35. Specifically, the conductive piece 32 enables the current connected to the electrode piece 33 to be combined and connected in parallel, and finally connected to the outside from the outer end of the connection bolt 31 located in the middle, thereby connecting the capacitor device to the power system.

[0027] Please refer to the appendix. Figure 5 The explosion-proof component 4 includes an isolation plate 41, on which a controller 42 is provided. The controller 42 is electrically connected to a solenoid valve 43 and a pressure sensor 44. One end of the solenoid valve 43 is connected to an air inlet pipe 45, and the other end is connected to an air outlet pipe 46.

[0028] The air inlet pipe 45 is locked onto the isolation plate 41 and connects to the inside of the protective housing 1. The air outlet pipe 46 is locked onto the bottom of the cover groove 22 and connects to the filter groove 221. The pressure sensor 44 is locked onto the isolation plate 41 by threads and connects to the inside of the protective housing 1.

[0029] In this embodiment, the pressure sensor 44 monitors the pressure in real time. When the pressure inside the capacitor exceeds the set threshold, the pressure sensor 44 transmits a signal to the controller 42. The controller 42 triggers the solenoid valve 43 to open, and the internal gas passes through the solenoid valve 43 from the air inlet pipe 45 and enters the filter tank 221 from the air outlet pipe 46, thereby quickly expelling the high temperature and high pressure gas inside and preventing the capacitor from exploding. Example 2

[0030] Based on the above embodiment 1, please refer to the appendix. Figure 2 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 6 The inner wall of the protective housing 1 is provided with several heat dissipation fins 12, which are immersed in insulating liquid. The outer end of the connecting bolt 31 is nested with an insulating sleeve 36, and the inner end passes through the pressure plate 34. The pressure plate 34 abuts against the electrode plate 33. Specifically, the heat dissipation fins 12 can increase the heat dissipation area of ​​the protective housing 1 and accelerate the heat dissipation inside the capacitor device.

[0031] The filter assembly 5 includes a metal wire mesh filter layer 51, and an activated carbon filter layer 52 is provided above the metal wire mesh filter layer 51. Both the metal wire mesh filter layer 51 and the activated carbon filter layer 52 are fixed in the filter tank 221.

[0032] The bottom of the protective housing 1 is provided with a conductive bolt 11, which is grounded through a wire. The top cover 21 is provided with several pressure relief holes 211, which are located directly above the filter tank 221.

[0033] The core assembly 6 includes several capacitor units 61. Each capacitor unit 61 has an interlaced ring structure of metallized thin film 611 and insulating medium 612. An insulating sealing gasket 62 is embedded on the isolation plate 41. Specifically, the insulating sealing gasket 62 can separate the conductive wires to prevent breakdown, and at the same time ensure that the internal air pressure of the capacitor device does not leak out, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the pressure sensor 44 and triggering the solenoid valve 43 to open in time to avoid explosion.

[0034] The positive and negative electrodes of the metallized thin film 611 pass through the insulating sealing gasket 62 via wires and are electrically connected to the electrode sheet 33. The bottom of the capacitor unit 61 is fixed to the insulating frame 63 by bolts, and the inner wall of the protective shell 1 is welded to the insulating frame 63.

[0035] In this embodiment, during the operation of the capacitor, if a breakdown point occurs in the insulating medium 612 due to excessive voltage, partial discharge, or other reasons, the metallization film 611 will form a tiny metal melting spot around the breakdown point to isolate the breakdown point and enable the capacitor to continue to work normally. When an insulation fault occurs inside the capacitor, causing the protective shell 1 to become energized, the conductive bolt 11 can conduct the current to the ground through the grounding wire to prevent the operator from being electrocuted.

[0036] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When assembling the capacitor device, the positive terminal of the capacitor unit 61 is connected to the same side of the electrical groove 222 through the electrode plate 33, and conduction is achieved by abutting the same conductive plate 32, while the negative terminal is connected to the other side of the electrical groove 222, so that each capacitor unit 61 is connected in parallel. When connecting to the power, the electrode plate 33 is first locked to the conductive plate 32 by the electrical bolt 31. At the same time, the pressure plate 34 makes the electrode plate 33 stick tightly to the conductive plate 32 under the elastic force of the spring 35, reducing the contact resistance, reducing the generation of heat and malfunctions, and ensuring the safety and stability of the wiring.

[0037] When a fault occurs inside the capacitor device and the pressure increases, the pressure sensor 44 monitors the pressure in real time. Once the pressure exceeds the set threshold, the pressure sensor 44 transmits a signal to the controller 42. The controller 42 triggers the solenoid valve 43 to open, and the internal gas passes through the solenoid valve 43 from the air inlet pipe 45 and enters the filter tank 221 from the air outlet pipe 46. This allows the high-temperature and high-pressure gas inside to be quickly discharged from the pressure relief hole 211, preventing the capacitor device from exploding.

[0038] Meanwhile, the metal wire mesh filter layer 51 and the activated carbon filter layer 52 in the filter tank 221 can effectively filter impurities and sparks in the discharged gas, prevent external fires, and greatly improve the safety performance of the capacitor device.
