[0001] This utility model relates to the field of capacitor packaging shell technology, and in particular to an aluminum electrolytic capacitor packaging shell structure. Background Technology
[0002] Electrolytic capacitors are widely used in various electronic devices due to their small size and large capacitance. As an important component of capacitors, the encapsulation shell directly affects their performance, lifespan and safety. The quality of the encapsulation shell structure directly affects the performance and reliability of the capacitor.
[0003] Currently, common aluminum electrolytic capacitor packaging shells have shortcomings in sealing and fixing. Some packaging shells use simple pressing or bonding methods, resulting in unstable sealing performance. In harsh environments such as high temperature and high humidity, external moisture and corrosive gases can easily enter the interior, eroding the electrodes and electrolyte, reducing capacitor performance and lifespan. At the same time, during equipment operation, external forces such as vibration and impact may cause the sealing cover to loosen or shift, leading to sealing failure. Therefore, this paper proposes an aluminum electrolytic capacitor packaging shell structure to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0014] The effect achieved by the above components is that, by setting up a silicone cushioning pad, when the outer shell is subjected to vibration or impact, the cushioning pad can absorb and disperse energy through its own elastic deformation, thus preventing internal components from being damaged by collision.
[0015] Preferably, a positioning groove is provided at the bottom of the outer shell body.
[0016] The effect achieved by the above components is that the positioning groove is set at the bottom of the housing body and cooperates with the positioning protrusion on the equipment, so that the capacitor can be quickly and accurately positioned during the installation process, thereby improving the installation efficiency.

[0026] Reference Figure 1-4As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: an aluminum electrolytic capacitor encapsulation shell structure, including a shell body 1 and a sealing cover 2. The opening end of the shell body 1 is provided with an external thread, and the inner wall of the sealing cover 2 is provided with an internal thread. The external thread of the shell body 1 is adapted to the internal thread of the sealing cover 2. The sealing cover 2 is screwed onto the opening end of the shell body 1 through the cooperation of the internal thread and the external thread of the shell body 1. Two L-shaped plates 3 are fixedly connected to the arc surface of the shell body 1. A screw 4 is inserted into the internal thread of the L-shaped plate 3. Two limiting grooves are opened on the arc surface of the sealing cover 2. A sealing ring 11 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the sealing cover 2. The mating of the external thread of the outer casing 1 with the internal thread of the sealing cap 2, along with the engagement of the sealing ring 11, effectively prevents external moisture, dust, corrosive gases, and other contaminants from entering the aluminum electrolytic capacitor, maintaining a stable internal environment, ensuring stable capacitor performance, and extending its service life. Furthermore, the screw 4, screwed into the limiting groove, ensures precise positioning of the sealing cap 2, preventing it from rotating or loosening due to vibration or external force during use, further guaranteeing the overall structural stability. Several rectangular blocks 5 are fixedly connected to the arc surface of the sealing cap 2, and the surfaces of the rectangular blocks 5 are provided with anti-slip grooves. The presence of these rectangular blocks 5 increases the friction between fingers and the sealing cap 2, facilitating the disassembly and installation of the sealing cap 2 and the outer casing 1. Several heat dissipation fins 6, made of copper, are fixedly connected to the arc surface of the outer casing 1. The heat dissipation fins 6 increase the heat dissipation area of the outer casing 1, improving heat dissipation efficiency, effectively reducing the capacitor's operating temperature, and extending its service life. Two mounting ears 7 are fixedly connected to the arc surface of the outer casing 1, and the surfaces of the mounting ears 7 are provided with mounting grooves. The mounting ears 7 allow workers to easily secure the capacitor to the equipment using bolts or rivets. A buffer pad 9, made of silicone, is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer casing 1. When the outer casing 1 is subjected to vibration or impact, the buffer pad 9 absorbs and disperses energy through its elastic deformation, preventing damage to internal components. A positioning groove 8 is provided at the bottom of the outer casing 1. This groove 8, located at the bottom of the outer casing 1, cooperates with positioning protrusions on the equipment, enabling quick and accurate positioning of the capacitor during installation, improving installation efficiency. An explosion-proof valve 10 is installed on the surface of the sealing cover 2. This valve 10 automatically opens when the internal pressure of the capacitor exceeds a set value, releasing the internal pressure and preventing the capacitor from exploding.
[0027] Working principle: First, the capacitor core is placed inside the outer casing 1. Then, the sealing cover 2 is screwed onto the outer casing 1. At this time, the sealing ring 11 inside the sealing cover 2 fits tightly with the casing to ensure sealing performance. Then, the screw 4 is rotated within the L-shaped plate 3 and moves towards the sealing cover 2 until the screw 4 is inserted into the limiting groove of the sealing cover 2. Next, the mounting lug 7 allows the operator to fix the capacitor to the equipment surface with bolts or rivets, or to mate the positioning groove 8 with the positioning protrusion on the equipment. This allows for quick and accurate positioning of the capacitor during installation, improving installation efficiency. During use, the heat dissipation fins 6 increase the heat dissipation area of the outer casing 1, improving heat dissipation efficiency, effectively reducing the operating temperature of the capacitor, and extending the capacitor's service life. When the shell body 1 is subjected to vibration or impact, the buffer pad 9 can absorb and disperse energy through its own elastic deformation, preventing internal components from being damaged by collision. Finally, by setting an explosion-proof valve 10, when the internal pressure of the capacitor exceeds the set value, the explosion-proof valve 10 will automatically open to release the internal pressure and prevent the capacitor from exploding. Through the matching and screwing of the external thread of the shell body 1 with the internal thread of the sealing cover 2 and the cooperation between the sealing ring 11, external moisture, dust, corrosive gases and other substances can be effectively prevented from entering the aluminum electrolytic capacitor, maintaining the stability of the internal environment, ensuring the stability of the capacitor's electrical performance, and extending its service life. Furthermore, by screwing the screw 4 into the limiting groove, the sealing cover 2 is precisely positioned to prevent the sealing cover 2 from rotating or loosening due to vibration, external force, etc. during use, further ensuring the overall structural stability.
