Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of capacitor technology, specifically to a capacitor with current overload protection. Background Technology
[0002] A capacitor is a passive electronic component that can store electric charge and electrical energy. It consists of two conductors (electrodes) and an insulating material (dielectric) in between, and is an indispensable basic component in electronic circuits.
[0003] In existing capacitors, overload protection typically involves connecting a fusible metal wire (fuse) directly in series with the capacitor's electrodes inside the capacitor. When the current is too high, the internal fuse blows, thus protecting the capacitor. However, in practice, integrating the metal wire (fuse) inside the capacitor, especially in smaller capacitors where internal space is limited, can sacrifice capacitance or voltage withstand capability. Furthermore, after the fuse blows, the entire capacitor needs to be replaced, rather than just the fuse element, increasing maintenance costs.
[0004] Therefore, we propose a capacitor with current overload protection. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a capacitor with overcurrent protection to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the problem that the metal wire (fuse) is placed inside the capacitor, especially in smaller capacitors where the internal space is limited, the integration of the fuse will sacrifice the capacitance or withstand voltage, and the entire capacitor needs to be replaced after the fuse blows, rather than just the fuse element, which increases maintenance costs.

[0007] Preferably, the inner side of the sealing cover is provided with a positioning ear, which is a negative electrode positioning mark used to determine the positive and negative electrodes, and the surface of the sealing cover is provided with a negative electrode marking groove.
[0008] Preferably, the metal casing has safety protection mechanism grooves on both sides for installing safety protection mechanisms, the top of the metal casing has an explosion guide groove for the direction of explosion, and the sidewalls of the metal casing have positioning ear grooves for sliding positioning ears.
[0009] Preferably, the safety protection mechanism includes a fuse, a metal connecting piece, an insulating base, a metal extrusion piece, and a pin metal connecting piece.

This invention uses a metal casing to fix the fuse protection mechanism, placing the fuse on the outside of the metal casing, reducing the internal space of the dedicated metal casing for fuses, facilitating fuse replacement, and reducing maintenance costs.
[0029] Furthermore, the inner side of the sealing cover 5 is provided with a positioning ear 501, which is a negative electrode positioning mark used to determine the positive and negative electrodes, and a negative electrode mark groove is provided on the surface of the sealing cover 5.
[0030] Furthermore, both sides of the metal casing 4 are provided with safety protection mechanism grooves for installing the safety protection mechanism 3, the top of the metal casing 4 is provided with an explosion guide groove for the direction of explosion, and the side wall of the metal casing 4 is provided with a positioning ear groove for the sliding of the positioning ear 501.
[0031] Furthermore, the safety protection mechanism 3 includes a fuse 301, a metal connecting piece 302, an insulating base 303, a metal extrusion piece 304, and a pin metal connecting piece 305. The insulating base 303 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the groove of the safety protection mechanism. One end of the insulating base 303 is provided with the metal connecting piece 302, and the other end of the insulating base 303 is fixedly connected to the pin metal connecting piece 305. The metal extrusion piece 304 is provided inside the metal connecting piece 302. One end of the metal connecting piece 302 is fixedly connected to the positive electrode metal piece 6. One end of the metal connecting piece 305 is disposed on the inner wall of the insulating pad 2. One end of the metal connecting piece 305 is fixedly connected to one end of the positive electrode pin 1. The other end of the metal connecting piece 305 is provided with a metal extrusion piece 304. One side of the metal extrusion piece 304 is tightly pressed against the side wall of the metal connecting piece 305, and the other side of the metal extrusion piece 304 is fixedly connected to the contact surface of the metal connecting piece 305. One end of the fuse 301 is tightly pressed against the metal connecting piece 305, and the other end of the fuse 301 is tightly pressed against the metal connecting piece 302.
[0032] Furthermore, an insulating pad 2 is fixedly connected inside the metal casing 4, and the insulating pad 2 is fixedly connected to the negative electrode pin 9.
[0033] In this scheme, the assembly process is as follows: First, positive electrode metal sheet 6, insulating sheet 7, and negative electrode metal sheet 8 are stacked sequentially inside the metal casing 4 to form the capacitor core. A metal connecting piece 302 is installed at one end of the insulating base 303, and one end is welded and fixed to the positive electrode metal sheet 6; the other end has a reserved interface for connecting the fuse 301. A pin-type metal connecting piece 305 is fixed at the other end of the insulating base 303, one end of which extends to the inner wall of the insulating pad 2, and the other end has a reserved pressing surface for a metal extrusion piece 304. The insulating base 303 is then embedded into the safety protection mechanism grooves on both sides of the metal casing 4 and fixed by adhesive to form an electrical insulation base. Then, one end of the fuse 301 is pressed onto the pressing surface of the pin metal connecting piece 305, and the other end is pressed onto the corresponding interface of the metal connecting piece 302 to form a current path. One end of the positive pin 1 is inserted into the reserved hole of the insulating pad 2 and fixed by welding. One end of the negative pin 9 is passed through the other reserved hole of the insulating pad 2 and fixed by welding to one end of the pin metal connecting piece 305. The positioning ear 501 inside the sealing cover 5 is slid into the positioning ear groove on the side wall of the metal shell 4 to ensure that the positioning ear 501 as the negative positioning mark is fully exposed. At the same time, the insulating pad 2 is fixed to the bottom of the metal shell 4 and the sealing state is ensured.
[0034] When it is necessary to replace fuse 301, move the sealing cover 5 upward and separate it from the metal housing 4, then remove the old fuse 301 and pull it out, insert the new fuse 301, and finally move the sealing cover 5 downward and seal it.
