[0009] The objects, features and advantages of the present disclosure will become more apparent from the following detailed description and drawings.

[0010] The film capacitor of the basic configuration of the present disclosure is formed by winding or stacking multiple metallized films in one direction, the metal film being formed by vapor-depositing a metal film that serves as an electrode on the surface of a dielectric film made of, for example, polypropylene resin.

[0011] A metallikon electrode that is electrically connected to the metal film is provided on each end surface of the laminate in which the metallized films are stacked. One metallikon electrode is joined to a part of the metal film, and the other metallikon electrode is connected to the remaining metal film. The metallized films are stacked with a shift so that the metal film does not connect to the two metallikon electrodes and cause a short circuit (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

[0012] In a structure such as the film capacitor described in Patent Document 1, the end face portions where the metallized films are misaligned and extend are more likely to deform than the central portion where the metallized films overlap. Particularly at high temperatures, the extended portions stretch and become even more susceptible to deformation, causing breakage of the deformed portions and degrading the capacitor characteristics.

[0013] An object of the present disclosure is to provide a film capacitor, a linked capacitor, an inverter, and an electric vehicle that can suppress deterioration of capacitor characteristics.

[0014] Hereinafter, a film capacitor according to an embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. A film capacitor 10 according to an embodiment includes a film laminate 4 formed by alternately laminating dielectric films 1 and 2, each having a metal layer 3, on one surface of a base film, as shown in FIG. 1A.

[0015] In this embodiment, the metal layer 3 is a so-called comb-tooth shaped metal layer, and includes a plurality of strip metal layers 3a and one common metal layer 3c, and the strip metal layers 3a are electrically connected to the common metal layer 3c. A connecting metal layer 3b may be provided between the strip metal layers 3a and the common metal layer 3c, connecting them. The connecting metal layer 3b connects the ends of the strip metal layers 3a to the sides of the common metal layer 3c. After lamination, each strip metal layer 3a becomes an internal electrode of the capacitor. The dielectric films 1 and 2 have the same configuration, except that the orientations when laminated are reversed.

[0016] In each figure, the direction in which the strip metal layers 3a formed parallel to each other extend is the first direction (x direction), and the arrangement direction of the parallel strip metal layers 3a (y direction perpendicular to the x direction) is the second direction. The film is laminated in a third direction (z direction in the figure) perpendicular to the first and second directions. The film laminate 4 after lamination will be described in detail later.

[0017] Each strip-shaped metal layer 3a on the surface of the dielectric films 1, 2 is formed by metal deposition on a base film. Between adjacent strip-shaped metal layers 3a in the y direction, a film surface (hereinafter, insulating margin S) is exposed, so that each strip-shaped metal layer 3a is electrically insulated from the others. Each insulating margin S is connected to an edge insulating region T that continues in the y direction at one end side in the x direction. The spacing (pitch P) between each insulating margin S is the sum of the width P1 in the y direction of each strip-shaped metal layer 3a and the width P2 in the y direction of each insulating margin S (P=P1+P2).

[0018] The common metal layer 3c is provided extending in the y direction on the side opposite to the edge insulating region T of the dielectric films 1 and 2, i.e., on the other edge in the first direction. Each strip-shaped metal layer 3a is electrically insulated from the other strip-shaped metal layer 3a by an insulating margin S, but is electrically connected as a whole metal layer 3 by connecting to one common metal layer 3c. In addition, when the metal layer 3 has a connecting metal layer 3b, the length (width) of the connecting metal layer 3b in the y direction is smaller than the length (width) of the strip-shaped metal layer 3a in the y direction. The connecting metal layer 3b functions as a fuse for each strip-shaped metal layer 3a. For example, when the strip-shaped metal layer 3a is short-circuited with another strip-shaped metal layer 3a due to insulation breakdown of the base film, etc., and a current greater than a specified value flows, the high-resistance connecting metal layer 3b is burned off to break the wire, so that the function of the entire film capacitor 10 does not stop.

[0019] The base film of the dielectric films 1 and 2 may be made of an organic resin material such as polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, polyarylate, or cycloolefin polymer. The metal layer 3 of the dielectric films 1 and 2 may be made of a metal material such as aluminum.

[0020] As shown in FIG. 1B, the dielectric films 1 and 2 are laminated by alternately inverting the orientation in the x direction of the dielectric film 1 and the dielectric film 2 adjacent thereto above and below (z direction) in the figure. That is, the dielectric films 1 and 2 are laminated so that the planar positions of the edge insulating regions T at one end in the x direction of each of the dielectric films 1 and 2 overlap in the x direction every other film to form the film laminate 4. Similarly, the dielectric films 1 and 2 are laminated so that the planar positions of the common metal layers 3c at the other end of each of the dielectric films 1 and 2 overlap in the x direction every other film. Also, the film laminate 4 is laminated so that the planar positions of the edges in the x direction are shifted for each film. The x direction edge of the dielectric film 1 and the x direction edge of the dielectric film 2 are not aligned in planar positions, but are laminated with a shift. When only the dielectric films 1 are viewed every other film, their edges are aligned, and when the dielectric films 2 are viewed every other film, their edges are aligned. When the film laminate 4 is viewed in plan, one end in the x direction is a shifted portion where only the edge where the common metal layer 3c of the dielectric film 1 is located overlaps, and the other end in the x direction is a shifted portion where only the edge where the common metal layer 3c of the dielectric film 2 is located overlaps, and in the center in the x direction, the strip-shaped metal layer 3a of the dielectric film 1 and the strip-shaped metal layer 3a of the dielectric film 2 overlap. That is, of both end faces in the x direction of the film laminate 4, one end face is formed by the edge where the common metal layer 3c of the dielectric film 1 is located, and the other end face is formed by the edge where the common metal layer 3c of the dielectric film 2 is located.

[0021] Metal electrodes (hereinafter, metallicons) are formed on both end faces in the x direction of the film laminate 4 by metal spraying. One of the metallicons formed on both end faces in the x direction is called metallicon 5A (first metal electrode) and the other is called metallicon 5B (second metal electrode), but they only differ in their arrangement positions and have no difference in structure. For example, metallicon 5A is electrically connected to the common metal layer 3c of the dielectric film 1 at one end face and is also electrically connected to each strip-shaped metal layer 3a via the common metal layer 3c. On the other hand, metallicon 5B is electrically connected to the common metal layer 3c of the dielectric film 2 at the other end face and is also electrically connected to each strip-shaped metal layer 3a via the common metal layer 3c. If metallicons 5A and 5B are electrically connected to the common metal layer 3c, each strip-shaped metal layer 3a can be reliably connected to metallicons 5A and 5B via the common metal layer 3c. Moreover, the metal layer 3 of the dielectric film 1 and the metallikon 5B are electrically insulated by the edge insulating region T. Furthermore, the shifted portion at the x-direction end of the film laminate 4 causes the edge where the edge insulating region T of the dielectric film 1 is located to recede inward, providing a gap between the edge and the metallikon 5B, thereby more reliably insulating the metallikon 5B. Similarly, the metal layer 3 of the dielectric film 2 and the metallikon 5A are electrically insulated by the edge insulating region T. Furthermore, the shifted portion at the x-direction end of the film laminate 4 causes the edge where the edge insulating region T of the dielectric film 2 is located to recede inward, providing a gap between the edge and the metallikon 5A, thereby more reliably insulating the metallikon 5A.

[0022] As described above, the film capacitor 10 has sufficient insulation from the metallikon of the opposite polarity by providing the offset portions at both ends of the film laminate 4 in the x direction. However, the offset portions overlap only the dielectric film 1 or the dielectric film 2, and there is also a gap between the metallikon and the offset portions, making them more susceptible to deformation. At high temperatures, the base film is stretched by thermal expansion and becomes more susceptible to deformation. The deformation of the offset portions is bending and curving in the z direction perpendicular to one surface of the base film. Such deformation causes breakage of the film, peeling of the laminate, and the like, which deteriorates the capacitor characteristics. The film capacitor 10 of this embodiment has a protective metal layer 11 to suppress deterioration of the capacitor characteristics due to such deformation. The protective metal layer 11 extends from the ends of the metallikons 5A and 5B in the z direction along the x direction to the surface of the film laminate 4. In the film capacitor 10 of this embodiment, both ends of the metallikons 5A and 5B in the z direction are flat surfaces, which are flush with the outer surface of the film laminate 4 in the z direction. The protective metal layer 11 extends along the y direction so as to cover the boundary between the metallikon 5A, 5B and the film laminate 4. By extending the protective metal layer 11 from the metallikon 5A, 5B to the film laminate 4, the portion of the protective metal layer 11 located on the surface of the film laminate 4 overlaps at least a portion of the shifted portion in a plan view. Such a protective metal layer 11 can suppress deformation at both ends of the film laminate 4 in the x direction. The protective metal layer 11 enables the film capacitor 10 of this embodiment to suppress deterioration of the capacitor characteristics due to deformation.

[0023] The protective metal layer 11 is bonded to, for example, the ends of the metallikons 5A and 5B. The protective metal layer 11 does not have to be bonded to the film laminate 4. As long as the protective metal layer 11 is bonded to the ends of the metallikons 5A and 5B, deformation of the shifted portion can be suppressed even if the protective metal layer 11 is not bonded to the film laminate 4. The protective metal layer 11 may be bonded to the ends of the metallikons 5A and 5B via a bonding material such as solder or brazing material. When the film laminate 4 is deformed, a force in the z direction is applied to the protective metal layer 11 to peel it off from the metallikons 5A and 5B. In order to prevent the protective metal layer 11 from peeling off from the metallikons 5A and 5B, for example, the adhesive strength between the protective metal layer 11 and the metallikons 5A and 5B is set to 10 N / mm 2 The adhesion strength is, for example, a tensile adhesion strength measured in accordance with JIS H 8402 "Testing method for tensile adhesion strength of thermal spray coatings."

[0024] Even if the adhesive strength between the protective metal layer 11 and the metallikon 5A, 5B is sufficient, if the protective metal layer 11 itself undergoes plastic deformation due to the force in the z direction applied to the protective metal layer 11 when the film laminate 4 is deformed, there is a risk of the film laminate 4 being deformed. The protective metal layer 11 may be any layer having a mechanical strength capable of suppressing deformation of the film laminate 4. For example, when the base film is made of polypropylene and the thickness (dimension in the z direction) of the film laminate 4 is 10 mm, the protective metal layer 11 can be made of a stainless steel plate having a thickness of 0.5 mm or more.

[0025] The protective metal layer 11 may be made of the same metal material as the metallikons 5A and 5B. The metallikons 5A and 5B are formed by metal spraying, and metal materials such as zinc, tin, and zinc-tin alloys are used. A thin plate-shaped member made of the same metal material as the metallikons 5A and 5B is prepared as the protective metal layer 11, and the formation of the metallikons 5A and 5B and the joining to the protective metal layer 11 can be performed simultaneously during metal spraying.

[0026] When the film capacitor 10 is housed in an exterior case, for example, the position of the metallikon is fixed. If the base film shrinks at low temperatures, a tensile force is applied to the metallikons 5A and 5B in the x direction, which may cause cracks. The protective metal layer 11 is bonded to the ends of the metallikons 5A and 5B, which can suppress the occurrence and growth of cracks at low temperatures.

[0027] 2 to 4 are diagrams illustrating a manufacturing method of the film capacitor of the embodiment. In manufacturing the laminated film capacitor 10, first, as shown in Fig. 2, a plurality of dielectric films 1 or 2 each having a plurality of strip-shaped metal layers 3a continuous along the x direction and a common metal layer 3c extending in the y direction on the surface of the film are stacked while alternately reversing the x direction orientation, that is, while reversing the x direction orientation for each film so that the planar positions of the edge insulating regions T overlap every other film.

[0028] As mentioned above, the dielectric films 1 and 2 have the same structure, except that their orientation in the x direction is reversed. The lamination can be performed by a conventional method, such as stacking the long dielectric films 1 and 2 and winding them around a cylinder or a tube with a polygonal cross section. The imaginary line (two-dot chain line) in Fig. 2 indicates the cutting line after winding around a tube or the like.

[0029] FIG. 3 is a view of the film laminate 4 after cutting to a predetermined length, viewed from the cut surface (y-direction end surface). As shown in FIG. 3, the dielectric film 1 and the dielectric film 2 adjacent to each other are laminated in a state where they are shifted (offset) in the x direction, and the common metal layer 3c is exposed at both end surfaces in the x direction of the film laminate 4. Since the metal layer 3 is exposed on the upper surface side of the film laminate 4, a cover layer 12 such as a base film is laminated thereon. The cover layer 12 may also be laminated on the lower surface side of the film laminate 4. The protective metal layer 11 is disposed on the upper and lower surfaces, which are the z-direction surfaces of the film laminate 4. The protective metal layer 11 may be disposed so as to extend outward from both end surfaces in the x direction of the film laminate 4. The protective metal layer 11 does not need to be bonded to the upper and lower surfaces of the film laminate 4, and may be temporarily fixed by clamping the upper and lower surfaces with a jig or the like.

[0030] 4, metallicons 5A and 5B are formed by metal spraying on both end faces in the x direction of the film laminate 4 where the above-mentioned common metal layer 3c is exposed. As a result, the strip-shaped metal layers 3a on the dielectric films 1 and 2 are electrically connected to the metallicons 5A and 5B via the common metal layer 3c, and function as internal electrodes of the film capacitor 10. The metallicons 5A and 5B are formed between the protective metal layer 11 arranged on the upper surface side and the protective metal layer 11 arranged on the lower surface side, and the metallicons 5A and 5B are joined to the protective metal layer 11.

[0031] In the above embodiment, the film laminate 4 is formed by laminating the dielectric films 1 and 2 with their orientations in the x direction alternately inverted, and the dielectric films 1 and 2 have the same configuration but different orientations. As a modification, the film laminate 4 may have the dielectric film 1 of the same configuration as in the above embodiment, but the dielectric film 2 may be a so-called solid pattern planar metal layer in which a metal layer is provided on the entire area of ​​one surface of the base film except for the edge insulating area T.

[0032] In the above embodiment, the protective metal layer 11 is a thin plate covering the boundary between the metallikon 5A, 5B and the film laminate 4 along the y direction, but this is not limited thereto, and the protective metal layer 11 may be partially interrupted or divided in the y direction. In addition, the protective metal layer 11 and the film laminate 4 may be bonded to each other via an adhesive or the like.

[0033] In the above manufacturing method, the protective metal layer 11 is placed on the surface of the film laminate 4 and then the metallikon 5A, 5B is formed, but this is not limited to the above, and the protective metal layer 11 may be joined to the z-direction ends of the metallikon 5A, 5B after forming the metallikon 5A, 5B.
