Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of inductors and relates to an inductor, and in particular to an inductor and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Currently, one-piece molded inductors are widely used in various application scenarios such as consumer electronics, industrial products, medical and automotive. Usually, one-piece molded inductors are composed of three parts: coil, powder and pad. As SMD surface mount inductors, one-piece molded inductors have the following advantages: First, the fully enclosed structure of one-piece molded inductors has good magnetic shielding effect, which can effectively reduce electromagnetic interference; second, one-piece molded inductors can ensure that the current resistance inductance value decreases smoothly; third, the application frequency of one-piece molded inductors is high, up to 5MHz; fourth, one-piece molded inductors are suitable for high reliability requirements in the automotive, military, medical and aerospace industries.

[0003] However, with the rapid development of robots and AI, the conversion efficiency of electronic components is increasingly required. For electronic devices of the same size, if the conversion efficiency is increased by 10%, the energy consumption and heat generation will decrease year-on-year. In this context, the efficiency improvement of integrated inductors is particularly important. However, the inductors in the existing technology cannot effectively improve the efficiency of the inductors because the wires are tightly wound and the enameled film is not resistant to high temperatures.

[0004] CN105989988A discloses an integrated inductor, which relates to the field of electronic technology and can dissipate the heat inside the integrated inductor, thereby ensuring that the integrated inductor will not be damaged. The integrated inductor includes a magnetic core and a coil, the coil is embedded in the magnetic core, and the integrated inductor also includes: at least one through hole penetrating the magnetic core, and the at least one through hole is used for heat dissipation of the integrated inductor.

[0005] CN205943643U discloses an integrally formed inductor. It includes a coil, a straight-cylindrical sleeve, an electrode and a powder coating layer. The coil is placed inside the straight-cylindrical sleeve, and the coil and the straight-cylindrical sleeve are tightly matched. The electrode includes a connecting part and a welding part. The connecting part of the electrode is connected to the lead pin of the coil. The straight-cylindrical sleeve, the coil and the connecting part of the electrode are buried in the center of the powder coating layer, and the welding part of the electrode is exposed on the surface of the powder coating layer. This patent protects the coil by a straight-cylindrical sleeve, and at the same time, by adjusting the material, shape and size of the straight-cylindrical sleeve, the integrally formed inductor can present a variety of choices in terms of performance parameters.

[0006] CN102737802A discloses a coil magnetic powder integrated inductor, comprising a cubic magnetic material block, an embedded coil, two opposite surfaces each with an end electrode, the end electrode is connected to one end of the coil, the magnetic material block is composed of two or more magnetic powders with different average particle sizes and insulating resin, the general formula of the magnetic powder is Fe 100-x-y-z Si x Cr y B z The manufacturing method is as follows: (i) uniformly mix magnetic powders of different particle sizes; (ii) mix magnetic powders with insulating resin to form a composite magnetic material mass; (iii) make an air-core coil; (iv) heat the forming mold and the lower punch, fill the composite magnetic material mass and the air-core coil, press and mold, keep warm until the resin is solidified and then demold; (v) polish the two end faces; (vi) vacuum sputter to form electrodes. The pressing operation can be completed with a relatively small pressure, and the pressing process causes little damage to the magnetic particles and the coil.

[0007] The inductors disclosed in the prior art all have certain defects. There is a problem that the inductor efficiency cannot be effectively improved due to the tight winding of the wire and the enamel film is not resistant to high temperature.

[0091] Comparative Example 1

[0092] This comparative example provides an inductor, which is a traditional one-piece molded inductor. The traditional one-piece molded inductor includes a magnetic core and a coil. The number of turns of the coil is the same as the number of turns of the layered spirally wound coil in Example 1. The coil is embedded in the magnetic core. The traditional one-piece molded inductor also includes: a through hole penetrating the magnetic core, and the through hole is used for heat dissipation of the one-piece molded inductor.

[0093] The inductors provided in the above embodiments and comparative examples were used to perform inductance value (LS@1M) test, equivalent series resistance (RS@3M) test, direct current resistance (DCR) test, inductance value at 6A (L6A) test and conversion efficiency test;

[0094] The LS@1M test method is as follows: the test instrument is a CH3302 inductance tester; the test frequency voltage is 100kHz / 1V; the test number of turns is 0.4mm25Ts, and the test results are shown in Table 1;

[0100]

[0101]

[0102] Table 2

[0103]

[0104] From Table 1 and Table 2, we can get:

[0105] (1) The inductors provided in embodiments 1 to 3 of the present invention have a large inductance value, a low series resistance and a low DC resistance, and a high conversion efficiency;

[0106] (2) By comparing Example 1 with Examples 4 and 5, it can be seen that the pressure of cold pressing in the preparation method of the inductor of the present invention will affect the performance of the inductor; when the pressure of cold pressing is too low, the LS@1M of the inductor will decrease, the RS@3M will increase, the DCR will increase, the L6A will decrease, and the conversion efficiency will decrease. This is because using appropriate pressure in cold pressing helps to increase the density of magnetic powder. If the pressure is too low, it may cause insufficient density of magnetic powder, affecting the electrical performance of the inductor; when the pressure of cold pressing is too high, the LS@1M of the inductor will decrease, the RS@3M will increase, the DCR will increase, the L6A will decrease, and the conversion efficiency will decrease. This is because excessive pressure may cause the inductor coil to deform or be damaged, affecting the electrical characteristics and mechanical strength of the coil. Excessive pressure in cold pressing may also cause cracks inside the inductor. These cracks may cause the inductor to fail in subsequent use.

[0107] (2) By comparing Example 2 with Examples 6 and 7, it can be seen that the pressure of cold pressing in the preparation method of the inductor of the present invention will affect the performance of the inductor; when the pressure of hot pressing is too low, the LS@1M of the inductor will be reduced, the RS@3M will be increased, the DCR will be increased, the L6A will be reduced, and the conversion efficiency will be reduced. This is because the use of appropriate pressure in hot pressing helps to increase the density of magnetic powder. If the pressure is too low, it may lead to insufficient density of magnetic powder, affecting the electrical performance of the inductor; when the pressure of hot pressing is too high, the LS@1M of the inductor will be reduced, the RS@3M will be increased, the DCR will be increased, the L6A will be reduced, and the conversion efficiency will be reduced. This is because excessive pressure may cause the inductor coil to deform or be damaged, affecting the electrical characteristics and mechanical strength of the coil. Excessive pressure in hot pressing may also cause cracks inside the inductor. These cracks may cause the inductor to fail in subsequent use.

[0108] (3) By comparing Example 1 with Examples 8 and 9, it can be seen that the holding temperature during the sintering process in the preparation method of the inductor described in the present invention, that is, the terminal temperature of the heating, will affect the performance of the inductor; when the holding temperature is too low, the LS@1M of the inductor will become smaller, the RS@3M will become larger, the DCR will become larger, the L6A will become smaller, and the conversion efficiency will become smaller. This is because the low holding temperature will lead to insufficient bonding between the magnetic powder particles in the gaps between the layers of the coil, thereby affecting the overall density and mechanical strength of the inductor, thereby affecting the performance of the inductor. In addition, insufficient sintering temperature will affect the microstructure and grain growth of the magnetic powder, and it is impossible to achieve ideal magnetic properties; when the holding temperature is too high, the LS@1M of the inductor will become smaller, the RS@3M will become larger, the DCR will become larger, the L6A will become smaller, and the conversion efficiency will become smaller. This is because the high holding temperature will cause excessive sintering of the magnetic powder, causing abnormal grain growth, thereby reducing the magnetic properties of the material;

[0109] (4) By comparing Example 1 with Comparative Example 1, it can be seen that the gaps between the layers of the layered spirally wound coil in the inductor provided by the present invention are filled with magnetic powder 3, thereby improving the inductance value, reducing the DC resistance of the inductor, and improving the efficiency of the inductor; the inductor provided by the present invention avoids the problem that the inductor efficiency cannot be effectively improved due to the enamel film being not resistant to high temperatures.

[0110] The above description is only a specific implementation mode of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art should understand that any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention are within the protection scope and disclosure scope of the present invention.
