Abstract

Provided is an electrolytic capacitor including: a plurality of capacitor elements; a plurality of storers that stores the plurality of capacitor elements, respectively; and a sealer that seals the plurality of capacitor elements in the plurality of storers. The plurality of storers is integrally formed.

Claims (31)

1 . An electrolytic capacitor, comprising:

a plurality of capacitor elements;

a plurality of storers that stores the plurality of capacitor elements, respectively; and

a sealer that seals the plurality of capacitor elements in the plurality of storers, wherein

the plurality of storers is integrally formed.

2 . The electrolytic capacitor according to claim 1 , wherein insulation processing is applied to an inside of each of the plurality of storers.

3 . The electrolytic capacitor according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of storers partially forms a housing that includes a side surface and a bottom surface.

4 . The electrolytic capacitor according to claim 3 , wherein the plurality of storers and the side surface are formed by extrusion.

5 . The electrolytic capacitor according to claim 4 , wherein the bottom surface is formed separately from the plurality of storers and the side surface.

6 . The electrolytic capacitor according to claim 4 , wherein the bottom surface is configured to include a member that seals the plurality of storers.

7 . The electrolytic capacitor according to claim 3 , wherein:

at least one of the plurality of storers includes a facing wall that faces an inner space of the housing, and

the facing wall includes an explosion preventer that prevents a rupture of the corresponding one of the plurality of storers.

8 . The electrolytic capacitor according to claim 3 , further comprising a heat dissipater that is provided in the side surface.

9 . The electrolytic capacitor according to claim 3 , wherein the plurality of storers and the side surface are formed of aluminum.

10 . A power supply apparatus comprising an electrolytic capacitor, wherein:

the electrolytic capacitor includes:

a plurality of capacitor elements;

a plurality of storers that stores the plurality of capacitor elements, respectively; and

a sealer that seals the plurality of capacitor elements in the plurality of storers, and

the plurality of storers is integrally formed.

11 . The power supply apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein insulation processing is applied to an inside of each of the plurality of storers.

12 . The power supply apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the plurality of storers partially forms a housing that includes a side surface and a bottom surface.

13 . The power supply apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein the plurality of storers and the side surface are formed by extrusion.

14 . The power supply apparatus according to claim 13 , wherein the bottom surface is formed separately from the plurality of storers and the side surface.

15 . The power supply apparatus according to claim 13 , wherein the bottom surface is configured to include a member that seals the plurality of storers.

16 . The power supply apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein:

at least one of the plurality of storers includes a facing wall that faces an inner space of the housing, and

the facing wall includes an explosion preventer that prevents a rupture of the corresponding one of the plurality of storers.

17 . The power supply apparatus according to claim 12 , further comprising a heat dissipater that is provided in the side surface.

18 . The power supply apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein the plurality of storers and the side surface are formed of aluminum.
