[0020] Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] A DC capacitor for rail transit includes a housing 1, a capacitor core 4, a heat dissipation component, and a shock-resistant component.

[0022] Housing 1: The housing 1 is a cuboid structure made of high-strength aluminum alloy, which has good heat dissipation performance and mechanical strength. The top of the housing 1 is provided with a cover plate 2, which is fixedly connected to the housing 1 by bolts. The cover plate 2 is provided with a terminal block 3 for connecting to an external circuit.

[0023] Capacitor core 4: The capacitor core 4 is disposed inside the outer casing 1 and fixed by an insulating bracket 5. The capacitor core 4 is composed of multiple capacitor units connected in series or parallel. The capacitor units use high-performance capacitor materials and have the characteristics of high capacity and low loss.

[0024] Heat dissipation assembly: The heat dissipation assembly includes heat sink fins 6, a cooling fan 7, and thermally conductive silicone 8. The heat sink fins 6 are evenly distributed on the outer surface of the housing 1, made of aluminum alloy, and connected to the housing 1 by welding, increasing the heat dissipation area. The cooling fan 7 is installed on one side of the housing 1 and communicates with the interior of the housing 1 through an air duct to accelerate airflow and improve heat dissipation efficiency. The thermally conductive silicone 8 is filled between the capacitor core 4 and the housing 1, quickly conducting the heat generated by the capacitor core 4 to the housing 1, and then dissipating it through the heat sink fins 6.

[0025] Seismic Components: The seismic components include a damping rubber pad 9 and a rubber pad 10. The damping rubber pad 9 is disposed between the capacitor core 4 and the insulating support 5 to buffer the impact of vibration on the capacitor core 4. The rubber pad 10 is disposed at the bottom of the outer shell 1 and is made of highly elastic rubber material to further absorb and buffer vibrations generated during rail transit operation.

[0026] Assembly process of a DC capacitor for rail transit:

[0027] The capacitor core 4 is mounted on the insulating bracket 5, and a shock-absorbing rubber pad 9 is installed between the capacitor core 4 and the insulating bracket 5 to provide cushioning. Thermally conductive silicone 8 is filled inside the outer casing 1, and then the insulating bracket 5 with the capacitor core 4 installed is placed inside the outer casing 1, ensuring the thermally conductive silicone 8 fully fills the space between the capacitor core 4 and the outer casing 1 to ensure good heat conduction. The heat sink fins 6 are welded to the outer surface of the outer casing 1, ensuring a secure connection between the heat sink fins 6 and the outer casing 1. A cooling fan 7 is installed on one side of the outer casing 1, and the air duct is connected to ensure airflow communication with the interior of the outer casing 1. A rubber pad 10 is installed at the bottom of the outer casing 1 to further enhance shock resistance. The cover plate 2 is fixed to the top of the outer casing 1 with bolts, and the terminal blocks 3 are installed, completing the assembly of the entire capacitor.

[0028] The working process of a DC capacitor used in rail transit:

[0029] When the capacitor is working, the capacitor core 4 generates heat. This heat is conducted to the outer casing 1 via the thermally conductive silicone 8, and then dissipated into the surrounding environment by the heat dissipation fins 6 on the outer casing 1. Simultaneously, the cooling fan 7 starts, accelerating airflow and quickly carrying away the heat, thus effectively reducing the capacitor's temperature. During rail transit operation, some of the vibrations generated are first absorbed by the rubber pad 10 at the bottom, and the remaining vibrations are further buffered by the shock-absorbing rubber pad 9, reducing the impact on the capacitor core 4 and ensuring stable capacitor operation.
