Publication number: 20240125400Abstract: Included are: a cylindrical body (cylindrical portion 16) provided with a shaft portion (18); and a first valve body (11) that is in close contact with the shaft portion to close an opening portion (22) of the cylindrical body, and is separated from the shaft portion when pressure (P) in the cylindrical body rises to a threshold (Pth) or higher by gas that has entered the cylindrical body, to release the gas from the cylindrical body to the outside. The valve body includes a closing portion (40) that receives the pressure (P) of the gas in the cylindrical body. The pressure received by the closing portion (40) serves as a valve opening force. As a result, the discharge characteristics of the gas filling a case are improved to enhance a pressure regulation function.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 24, 2022Publication date: April 18, 2024Applicant: NIPPON CHEMI-CON CORPORATIONInventors: Ryoichi Yasuda, Ikufumi Honda, Atsushi Koga, Hiroshi Komatsu, Satoru Tsumeda, Shin Watanabe

Patent number: 11393639Abstract: A seal plate (2) seals an opening part of a capacitor case (an exterior case 52) and includes a main body part (4) including a through-hole (8) for discharging a gas (G) in the capacitor case, a pressure valve (12) arranged to cover the through-hole and including a valve body part (26) allowing passage of the gas, a storage part (16) formed in the through-hole to receive the valve body part expanded due to a pressure in the capacitor case, and a stopper (stopper wall 10) that includes an opening part (20) for discharging the gas passing through the valve body part and that comes into contact with a portion of the valve body part in the storage part to deform the valve body part. This achieves an increase in gas permeability of the pressure valve and a high operating pressure maintained in the pressure valve.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2018Date of Patent: July 19, 2022Assignee: NIPPON CHEMI-CON CORPORATIONInventors: Ikufumi Honda, Hiroyuki Wakabayashi, Masayuki Mori, Masaru Saito, Takashi Kuroki, Kazuo Matsushita, Atsushi Koga, Ryoichi Yasuda, Koji Hoshino, Masahiro Matsushima, Keita Yajima

Patent number: 9697955Abstract: A capacitor device has an accommodating case in which a plurality of accommodating parts are formed for accommodating capacitor main bodies. The plurality of accommodating parts are oriented so that the longitudinal directions thereof all face the same direction, and the plurality of capacitor main bodies are accommodated in the accommodating parts in a manner such that the sides having terminal parts are set up in the same orientation. The sides of the capacitor main bodies having the terminal parts are provided with engaging parts that engage with engaged parts provided to a predetermined element member, and the capacitor main bodies are accommodated all together in the accommodating case in a manner such that the engaging parts are engaged with the engaged parts.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2012Date of Patent: July 4, 2017Assignees: NIPPON CHEMI-CON CORPORATION, MAZDA MOTOR CORPORATIONInventors: Ikufumi Honda, Hitoshi Ohara, Joji Obara, Seigo Suzuki, Masayoshi Takahashi, Akira Sone

Patent number: 9484154Abstract: An object of the invention is to provide a capacitor device that can be made slimmer and lighter and that enables the strength and heat dissipation properties to be improved. A capacitor device (1) has a plurality of capacitor units (2) integrally housed within a housing case (3), the housing case (3) having cylindrical housing sections (5) for housing the capacitor bodies. The housing sections (5) are longitudinally aligned in the same direction and are joined together as an integrated whole. A capacitor unit (2) is inserted via an opening (9) at one end of each of the housing sections (5) so that the entire circumference of the capacitor unit (2) is covered by the corresponding housing section (5). The housing sections (5) have a uniform thickness at least on the outer side along the outer periphery of the capacitor units.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2011Date of Patent: November 1, 2016Assignee: NIPPON CHEMI-CON CORPORATIONInventors: Ikufumi Honda, Nobukatsu Abe, Tsubasa Abe
