Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aluminum foil production technology, and in particular to a through aluminum foil for use in aluminum electrolytic capacitors. Background Technology
[0002] Electrolytic capacitors are indispensable components in electronic products. With the rapid development of electronic technology, the assembly density and integration level of electronic devices are further increasing. Aluminum electrolytic capacitors, as key, non-integrable discrete components, are developing towards smaller size, larger capacity, lower cost, and higher frequency and lower impedance. Aluminum electrolytic capacitors have excellent performance, large capacity, low price, ease of processing, and convenient use, and are therefore widely used in information electronic equipment, instruments, electromechanical products, and home appliances. Aluminum foil, as a key material in the production of aluminum electrolytic capacitors, has also made rapid progress in production technology, resulting in continuous improvement in product performance.
[0003] Regarding the aforementioned and existing related technologies, the inventors believe that the following shortcomings often exist: Traditional aluminum foil has many deficiencies when applied to aluminum electrolytic capacitors. For example, ordinary aluminum foil lacks mechanical strength, making it prone to tearing during processing and use, thus limiting its application range. Furthermore, its heat dissipation performance is limited; when the capacitor operates under high load, the generated heat is difficult to dissipate quickly, leading to an increase in internal temperature and affecting the capacitor's performance and lifespan. Simultaneously, in humid environments with microbial growth, aluminum foil is susceptible to corrosion and microbial attack, further reducing the capacitor's reliability. Therefore, to address these problems, a through-type aluminum foil for aluminum electrolytic capacitors is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies where traditional aluminum foil used in aluminum electrolytic capacitors suffers from insufficient mechanical strength, easy tearing during processing and use, poor heat dissipation performance, difficulty in dissipating heat under high loads, affecting capacitor performance and lifespan, and susceptibility to corrosion and erosion in humid and microbial environments, reducing capacitor reliability and limiting its application range. Therefore, this invention proposes a through-hole aluminum foil for aluminum electrolytic capacitors.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a through aluminum foil for an aluminum electrolytic capacitor, comprising a copper foil body, both sides of which are fixedly connected to a protective layer, the protective layer being polyimide, and a plurality of reinforcing wires passing through the copper foil body, the plurality of reinforcing wires being evenly distributed in a linear array within the copper foil body, the reinforcing wires being carbon fiber.
[0006] The effects achieved by the above components are as follows: by providing a polyimide protective layer in the copper foil body, the tear resistance of the copper foil body can be improved. At the same time, the carbon fiber reinforcing filaments are evenly distributed in a linear array in the copper foil body, which effectively enhances the overall strength and toughness of the copper foil. The two work together to significantly improve the mechanical properties and stability of aluminum foil in the application of aluminum electrolytic capacitors.

[0012] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) waterproof layer is set on the outside of the heat-conducting layer. Utilizing the extremely strong hydrophobicity and chemical stability of PTFE, moisture can be effectively blocked, preventing the aluminum foil from corroding due to moisture, ensuring the stable operation of the aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a humid environment, and extending its service life.
[0013] Preferably, an antibacterial layer is fixedly connected to the outside of the waterproof layer, and the antibacterial layer is a nano-alumina antibacterial coating.
[0014] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: the outer side of the waterproof layer is provided with a nano-alumina antibacterial coating as an antibacterial layer. With the antibacterial properties of nano-alumina, it can effectively inhibit the growth of bacteria and prevent microorganisms from corroding the aluminum foil and surrounding structures or affecting their performance. It is especially suitable for application scenarios with high requirements for hygiene conditions and ensures the long-term stable operation of aluminum electrolytic capacitors.
[0015] Preferably, the surface of the copper foil body is provided with a plurality of through holes, and the plurality of through holes are evenly distributed on the surface of the copper foil body.
[0016] The effects achieved by the above components are as follows: the through holes can accelerate the contact between the electrolyte and the electrodes inside the aluminum electrolytic capacitor and the ion migration speed, thereby improving the charging and discharging efficiency; at the same time, the ventilation channels formed by the through holes can timely discharge the heat and gas generated during the operation of the capacitor, reduce the internal pressure, avoid performance degradation caused by heat accumulation or excessive gas pressure, and enhance the stability and service life of the capacitor.

[0024] Reference Figures 1-4As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a through-type aluminum foil for aluminum electrolytic capacitors, comprising a copper foil body 1, with a protective layer 3 fixedly connected to both sides of the copper foil body 1. The protective layer 3 is polyimide. A plurality of reinforcing wires 2 are threaded through the copper foil body 1, and these reinforcing wires 2 are evenly distributed in a linear array within the copper foil body 1. The reinforcing wires 2 are carbon fibers. By providing the polyimide protective layer 3 within the copper foil body 1, the tear resistance of the copper foil body 1 can be improved. Simultaneously, the carbon fiber reinforcing wires 2, evenly distributed in a linear array within the copper foil body 1, effectively enhance the overall strength and toughness of the copper foil. The synergistic effect of these two elements significantly improves the performance of the aluminum foil in aluminum electrolytic capacitors. In capacitor applications, to ensure mechanical performance and stability, a protective mesh 4 is fixedly connected to the outside of the protective layer 3. The protective mesh 4 is made of aramid fiber woven mesh. The aramid fiber woven mesh, fixed to the outside of the polyimide protective layer 3, leverages the high strength and high toughness of aramid fibers to further enhance the protection of the copper foil body 1, resisting external mechanical impacts and wear, and improving the overall durability and reliability of the aluminum foil. A thermally conductive layer 5, made of graphene coating, is fixedly connected to the outside of the protective mesh 4. Utilizing the excellent thermal conductivity of graphene, the heat generated during aluminum foil operation can be quickly conducted away, effectively reducing temperature and preventing overheating from affecting performance. The aluminum electrolytic capacitor boasts excellent performance and its good flexibility is well-suited to the aluminum foil structure. A waterproof layer 6, made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), is fixedly connected to the outside of the thermally conductive layer 5. PTFE's strong hydrophobicity and chemical stability effectively block moisture, preventing corrosion of the aluminum foil due to dampness. This ensures stable operation of the aluminum electrolytic capacitor in humid environments and extends its service life. An antibacterial layer 7, a nano-alumina antibacterial coating, is also fixedly connected to the outside of the waterproof layer 6. The antibacterial properties of nano-alumina effectively inhibit bacterial growth. To prevent microorganisms from corroding the aluminum foil and surrounding structures or affecting performance, this method is particularly suitable for applications with high hygiene requirements, ensuring long-term stable operation of aluminum electrolytic capacitors. Several through holes 8 are evenly distributed on the surface of the copper foil body 1. The through holes 8 can accelerate the contact between the electrolyte and the electrodes inside the aluminum electrolytic capacitor and the ion migration speed, thereby improving the charging and discharging efficiency. At the same time, the ventilated channels formed by the through holes 8 can timely discharge the heat and gas generated during capacitor operation, reduce internal pressure, avoid performance degradation caused by heat accumulation or excessive gas pressure, and enhance the stability and service life of the capacitor.
[0025] Working principle: The polyimide protective layers 3 on both sides of the copper foil body 1 absorb external impacts through the flexibility of the molecular chains, improving tear resistance. The carbon fiber reinforcing filaments 2 distributed linearly inside enhance the overall strength and toughness of the copper foil body 1. The two are bonded together at the interface to form a reinforcement system, which greatly improves the tear resistance of the copper foil body 1. The protective net 4 of aramid fiber woven mesh on the outside disperses external impact forces with a grid structure, further resisting mechanical wear. The through holes 8 evenly distributed on the surface of the copper foil body 1 increase the specific surface area, accelerate the contact between the electrolyte and the electrode, improve the ion migration speed, and form a breathable channel to promote hot air convection. Combined with the graphene coating heat conduction network, the working heat is quickly dissipated, which reduces the internal temperature of the capacitor. The polytetrafluoroethylene waterproof layer 6 isolates moisture with its strong hydrophobicity. The nano-alumina antibacterial layer 7 inhibits microorganisms by adsorbing and destroying bacterial cell membranes, forming an environmental protection system. Through the physical and chemical interactions and structural synergy between the materials, the copper foil body 1 achieves a comprehensive improvement in mechanical stability, heat dissipation efficiency and environmental resistance.
