Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of capacitor technology, specifically to a leakage-proof capacitor. Background Technology

[0002] Aluminum electrolytic capacitors, also known as capacitors, are energy storage components. Their structures can be divided into three types: fixed capacitors, semi-variable capacitors, and variable capacitors. They are characterized by large capacitance, but also by large leakage current, large error, and poor stability. They are commonly used for AC bypass and filtering, and are also used for signal coupling when the requirements are not high. Collisions or squeezing during transportation or installation can cause the casing to deform or break.

[0003] A search of existing technology revealed a "high-sealing aluminum electrolytic capacitor with leak-proof designation" (publication number CN211828501U). This device uses a sealing cap for sealing, and two sealing rings distributed vertically between the sealing cap and the inner wall of the outer casing are provided to further improve the sealing effect. However, external contact may cause the surface of the capacitor to rupture due to contact, which may lead to leakage of the internal dielectric of the capacitor to the outside.

[0004] Based on this, the present invention designs a leakage-proof capacitor to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention provides a leakage-proof capacitor.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A leakage-proof capacitor includes a capacitor body with two contacts fixedly connected to its lower end, a protective mechanism mounted on the surface of the capacitor body extending to the lower end of the capacitor body, and the protective mechanism sleeved over the contacts; wherein the protective mechanism includes a thermally conductive metal sleeve sleeved on the surface of the capacitor body, a protective component connected inside the thermally conductive metal sleeve, the protective component mounted on the surface of the capacitor body, and a reinforcing component provided at the lower end of the protective component, the reinforcing component mounted at the lower end of the capacitor body, and the reinforcing component sleeved over the contacts.

[0008] Furthermore, the protective assembly includes multiple external support rings fitted onto the surface of the capacitor body. The multiple external support rings are evenly distributed longitudinally along the surface of the capacitor body. A connecting plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of each external support ring. The end of the connecting plate away from the external support ring is fixedly connected to the surface of the capacitor body. A protective frame is provided between adjacent external support rings.

[0009] Furthermore, the reinforcement component includes a silicone pad installed at the lower end of the capacitor body. The lower end of the capacitor body has a groove, and the silicone pad is embedded in the groove. Two reinforcement sleeves are provided inside the silicone pad, and the lower ends of the reinforcement sleeves extend to the bottom of the capacitor body.

[0010] Furthermore, the protective frame includes multiple baffles disposed on the surface of the capacitor body, and two support guides are fixedly connected to the side of the baffles near the capacitor body, the support guides being fixedly connected to the surface of the capacitor body.

[0011] Furthermore, the plurality of the baffle plates are evenly distributed in a ring shape along the surface of the capacitor body, with the upper baffle plate and the lower baffle plate being staggered.

[0012] Furthermore, the ends of the baffle plates are all located inside the adjacent outer support rings, and the baffle plates are made of copper metal components.

[0013] Furthermore, the upper end of the reinforcing sleeve is fixedly connected to the inner top wall of the groove, and the reinforcing sleeve is fitted onto the surface of the adjacent contact foot.

[0014] Furthermore, the longitudinal section of the silicone pad is an isosceles trapezoid, and the silicone pad matches the groove.

[0015] Beneficial effects

[0016] The aforementioned leak-proof capacitor forms a ring-shaped protective effect through multiple baffles, and the supporting guides can provide good support for the baffles. Furthermore, the supporting guides can form multiple longitudinal airflow channels, which can assist in heat dissipation on the surface of the capacitor body when heat is generated, thereby cooling the surface of the capacitor body, preventing direct contact with external objects, reducing the risk of surface cracking, and minimizing the leakage of the internal dielectric from the capacitor body to the outside.

[0017] The device uses a silicone pad to alleviate the lower end of the capacitor body from contact, a reinforcing sleeve to improve the stability of the connection between the contacts and the capacitor body, and an isosceles trapezoidal groove to provide stable support for the contacts, reducing the occurrence of breakage at the connection and minimizing leakage of the dielectric inside the capacitor body.
