DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an explosion-proof structure for an electrolytic capacitor that prevents an explosion due to an increase in the internal pressure of the electrolytic capacitor.

Due to its structure, electrolytic capacitors generate hydrogen gas due to the operating current, but when a large current (overcurrent) flows, the generation of hydrogen gas becomes noticeable, and the outer case is damaged by the hydrogen gas. There is a risk of explosion due to increased internal pressure.

For this reason, electrolytic capacitors have an explosion-proof structure to prevent explosions caused by a sudden increase in internal pressure. There are things that form. As an example of the former, when the exterior case is made of aluminum or the like, a V-shaped explosion-proof valve that can be opened by a specific pressure is formed on the bottom of the case, and as an example of the latter, as shown in Fig. 7. As shown, an explosion-proof valve 8 is formed in a sealing body 6 of an exterior case 4 housing an electrolytic capacitor element 2.

〔発明が解決しようとする問題点〕[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

ところで、封口体6に設けられる防爆構造は、

By the way, the explosion-proof structure provided in the sealing body 6 is as follows.
Since an elastic material such as rubber is used for the sealing body 6, the elasticity of the material is utilized to form a portion that can be opened by the action of pressure.
As shown in FIG. 8, simultaneously with the molding process of the sealing body 6, an explosion-proof hole 1 is formed in the sealing body 6 using the molds 10 and 12.
4 and a thin wall portion 16 is formed inside thereof to form an explosion-proof valve 8.

弁8の動作圧力が誤差によつて0.25〜2.25倍の幅

得られないおそれがあつた。
The accuracy of the dimension d 1 of the thin wall portion 16 formed by such molds 10 and 12 remains unchanged even if the precision of molding elements such as the interval and molding pressure during molding of the molds 10 and 12 is increased. Since the relief due to the elasticity of the elastic material itself that forms the sealing body 6 has a large effect, it is lower than the dimensional accuracy of the opening diameter d2 , and the error due to relief cannot be absorbed only by adjusting the mold accuracy. . For example, when the thickness of the thin wall portion 16 forming the explosion-proof valve 8 is set to 0.4 mm, the error reaches as much as ±0.2 mm, which is because the operating pressure of the explosion-proof valve 8 varies from 0.25 to This resulted in fluctuations with a width of 2.25 times, and there was a risk that proper valve opening operation could not be obtained.

The escape during molding due to the elasticity of the material is also affected by the elastic material and temperature, so the operating characteristics of the thin walled portion 16 are not uniform, and as a result, the valve opening operation becomes uneven, and the sealing member The explosion-proof structure on the 6th side had the drawback of lacking reliability.

そこで、この発明は、弁部分の寸法精度を高め

Therefore, the present invention aims to improve the dimensional accuracy of the valve portion, to make the operating characteristics uniform, and to obtain a highly reliable explosion-proof structure.
