Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of electrical enclosure technology, and in particular relates to a supercapacitor housing. Background Technology
[0002] Supercapacitors, also known as electrochemical capacitors, possess both the rapid charging and discharging characteristics of capacitors and the energy storage characteristics of batteries. During use and storage, the internal components of supercapacitors require additional components for fixation, cushioning, and protection, while also facilitating transportation. Therefore, it is necessary to research a supercapacitor casing to address these issues. Utility Model Content
[0003] This utility model is achieved using the following technical solution:
[0004] A supercapacitor housing includes a first mounting body and a second mounting body. The first mounting body includes an integrally formed upper cover plate, a rear cover plate, a left side plate, and a right side plate. The second mounting body includes an integrally formed front cover plate and a lower bottom plate. The first mounting body and the second mounting body are assembled to form a supercapacitor housing with a hollow box structure. The supercapacitor housing is made of metal.
[0005] The supercapacitor housing is also equipped with several buffer pads inside.
[0006] The upper cover plate is provided with at least two hollow wiring ports;
[0007] The bottom of the left and right side plates are bent outward to form a mounting plate. The mounting plate is provided with at least one pair of first mounting notches, and the two sides of the bottom plate are provided with second mounting notches that match the first mounting notches on the mounting plate.
[0008] Furthermore, a plurality of first studs are installed on the rear cover plate, and the PCBA is connected to the first studs by a cross-slot and recessed hexagonal combination screw, so that the PCBA is fixed on the rear cover plate, and the PCBA is grounded through the first studs.
[0009] Furthermore, a reinforcing plate is fixedly connected between the left or right side plate and the mounting plate.
[0010] Furthermore, a bent guide edge is formed on one side of the hollowed-out wiring port.

[0023] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this embodiment discloses a supercapacitor housing, including a first mounting body 1 and a second mounting body 9. The first mounting body 1 includes an integrally formed upper cover plate 101, a rear cover plate 102, a left side plate 103, and a right side plate 104. The second mounting body 9 includes an integrally formed front cover plate 901 and a lower bottom plate 902. The first mounting body and the second mounting body are assembled to form a hollow box structure supercapacitor housing, and the supercapacitor housing is made of metal. It should be noted that the supercapacitor housing can be carbon steel, stainless steel, or aluminum alloy, etc.
[0024] The supercapacitor housing is also provided with several buffer pads 7. It is conceivable that the buffer pads can be fixed on the inner wall of the front cover, or the buffer pads can be placed directly inside the supercapacitor housing. During installation, the buffer pads are glued to the top of the capacitor unit of the PCBA so that when the capacitor unit is soldered at a high height, the buffer pads can be compressed in the thickness direction, thus avoiding excessive compression of the capacitor unit after installation.
[0025] The top cover plate is provided with at least two hollow wiring ports 10. The terminals on the top of the PCBA can be wired through the rectangular hollow wiring ports. In addition, in order to guide the terminals when the PCBA is placed in preparation for installation, it is possible to form a bent guide edge on one side of the hollow wiring port. The guide edge is a small fold edge with an inward bend of less than 90°.
[0026] The bottom of the left and right side plates are bent outward to form a mounting plate 11. The mounting plate is provided with at least one pair of first mounting notches 12. The two sides of the bottom plate are provided with second mounting notches 13 that match the first mounting notches on the mounting plate. The first and second mounting notches allow the supercapacitor housing to be connected to other components by bolts, screws and other hardware. After connection, the notches on both sides overlap, which is equivalent to thickening the plate at the bottom connection, thereby strengthening the connection strength between the supercapacitor housing and other components.
[0027] A plurality of first studs 3 are installed on the rear cover plate. The PCBA is connected to the first studs by cross-head hexagonal combination screws 5, so that the PCBA is fixed on the rear cover plate and the PCBA is grounded through the first studs. Specifically, the first studs 3 are installed on the rear cover plate. The top of the first studs is degreased and derusted, and is not painted or coated. After the PCBA is installed, it can be connected to the studs by bolts or screws. After connection, it is not only used to fix the PCBA, but also to ground the PCBA through the supercapacitor shell. In this embodiment, cross-head hexagonal combination screws 5 are used to connect to the first studs 3 to fix the PCBA to the rear cover plate. This connection method is because after welding the individual capacitors, the overall height of the PCBA is relatively high. At the same time, because the operating space between the individual units is limited, it is inconvenient to use a cross screwdriver. Cross-head hexagonal combination screws can be used to install by using a socket wrench to cover the outer hexagon of the screw.
[0028] A reinforcing plate 14 is formed at the bending connection between the left or right side plate and the rear cover plate. The reinforcing plate 14 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate. The reinforcing plate 14 connects the left and right side plates and the rear cover plate, increasing the connection area and strength between the left and right side plates and the rear cover plate, and preventing cracking at the folded edge between the left and right side plates and the rear cover plate due to excessive local stress.
[0029] The upper cover plate is provided with at least one pair of handles 2; the handles can be made of metal, nylon rope, or other materials. The upper part of the upper cover plate has holes for the handles to be installed, so that hardware such as bolts and screws can pass through the holes and be installed with the handles. Alternatively, nylon ropes can be directly passed through the upper cover plate.
[0030] The left side plate, right side plate, and top cover plate are provided with integrally formed connecting side edges 15. Several first rivet nuts 6 are installed on the connecting side plates, and the front cover plate is connected to the left side plate, right side plate, and top cover plate respectively by countersunk screws 8. After installation, there are no protruding screws on the surface of the outer shell, so as not to scratch other parts.
[0031] The rear cover plate is provided with several connecting blocks 16. The lower base plate is fixedly connected to the rear cover plate through the connecting blocks. The connecting blocks are also equipped with rivet nuts. The lower base plate and the rear cover plate are connected by countersunk screws.
[0032] The buffer pad 7 can be attached to the individual capacitors of the PCBA or to the cover plate 9, providing buffering and protection for the internal components of the supercapacitor, especially the individual capacitors.
[0033] It should be noted that the buffer pad 7 is a composite material of sponge and rubber, that is, a relatively soft sponge sheet and a relatively hard rubber sheet are bonded together. It is advisable to place the buffer pad on top of the capacitor unit of the PCBA so that when the capacitor unit is soldered at a high height, the sponge sheet can be compressed in the thickness direction, avoiding excessive compression of the capacitor unit after the front cover is installed.
[0034] The upper surface of the cover plate is provided with several mounting holes 4, and a second rivet nut is installed in the mounting holes to facilitate installation with other components by means of bolts, screws and other hardware.
[0035] The technical solution of this utility model has been described above with reference to the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that the protection scope of this utility model is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principle of this utility model, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after these changes or substitutions will all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
