Abstract

A metallized film capacitor includes: a metallized film columnar body including two metallized films that are laminated and wound, the two metalized films each including a vapor-deposited metal film with a plurality of vapor-deposition-free slits and fuse portions each interposed between the vapor-deposition-free slits, and a polyvinylidene fluoride dielectric film, the metallized film columnar body having two electrode extraction surfaces; metal-sprayed parts disposed respectively on the two electrode extraction surfaces; and outgoing terminals joined respectively to the metal-sprayed parts. Each of the two metallized films has a shape with successive sloped ridges and valleys in a cross-section orthogonal to a winding direction, and the two metallized films are laminated such that the ridges and valleys of one of the metallized films are aligned with the ridges and valleys of the other one of the metallized films.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A metallized film capacitor comprising:
a metallized film columnar body including two metallized films that are laminated and wound, the two metalized films each including a vapor-deposited metal film with a plurality of vapor-deposition-free slits and fuse portions each interposed between the vapor-deposition-free slits, and a polyvinylidene fluoride dielectric film, the metallized film columnar body having two electrode extraction surfaces;
metal-sprayed parts disposed respectively on the two electrode extraction surfaces; and
outgoing terminals joined respectively to the metal-sprayed parts, wherein
each of the two metallized films has a shape with successive sloped ridges and valleys in a cross-section orthogonal to a winding direction, and
the two metallized films are laminated such that the ridges and valleys of one of the metallized films are aligned with the ridges and valleys of the other one of the metallized films.

2. The metallized film capacitor according to claim 1 , wherein each of the ridges has such a shape that a resistance of twice a coefficient of friction of the dielectric film acts on the dielectric film.

3. The metallized film capacitor according to claim 1 , wherein each of the ridges has such a shape that a resistance equivalent to a coefficient of static friction of 0.8 or higher acts on the dielectric film.

4. The metallized film capacitor according to claim 1 , wherein a slope angle θ of each of the ridges from a horizontal line is 60 degrees or larger.

5. A metallized film capacitor manufacturing method comprising:
forming, on a surface of a polyvinylidene fluoride dielectric film, a vapor-deposited metal film with a plurality of vapor-deposition-free slits and fuse portions each interposed between the vapor-deposition-free slits to produce a metallized film intermediate body, and then shaping the metallized film intermediate body so as to have successive sloped ridges and valleys in a cross-section orthogonal to a winding direction of the metallized film intermediate body to produce a metallized film;
laminating two of the metallized film with the ridges and valleys of one of the metallized films aligned with the ridges and valleys of the other one of the metallized films, and winding the laminate to produce a metallized film columnar body; and
forming metal-sprayed parts respectively on two electrode extraction surfaces of the metallized film columnar body and joining outgoing terminals respectively to the metal-sprayed parts, thus manufacturing the metallized film capacitor.

6. A metallized film laminate for a wound metallized film capacitor comprising:
two metallized films each including a vapor-deposited metal film with a plurality of vapor-deposition-free slits and fuse portions each interposed between the vapor-deposition-free slits, and a polyvinylidene fluoride dielectric film,
the two metallized films are laminated and wound to constitute the metallized film laminate,
each of the two metallized films has a shape with successive sloped ridges and valleys in a cross-section orthogonal to a winding direction, and

the two metallized films are laminated such that the ridges and valleys of one of the metallized films are aligned with the ridges and valleys of the other one of the metallized films.
