Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of common-mode inductors, and in particular to a common-mode inductor with an inner and outer stepped ring structure. Background Art
[0002] As an important electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) component, common mode inductors are widely used in various power and signal lines to suppress common mode interference and improve the stability and reliability of circuits. Traditional common mode inductors mostly use pure circular magnetic rings as their core components. This pure circular magnetic ring has a simple design and relatively low manufacturing cost, so it meets basic application requirements to a certain extent.
[0003] However, with the continuous advancement of electronic technology and the increasing requirements for power efficiency, especially in the application of high-efficiency and high-power switching power supplies, the traditional pure circular magnetic ring common-mode inductor has gradually exposed some shortcomings. In order to improve the impedance and efficiency of the common-mode inductor and improve the electromagnetic interference (EMI) suppression effect, the inductor often needs to adopt the cross winding method. The cross winding method is a special winding layout method, which requires the inductor coil to be divided into two parts, which are wound along two perpendicular directions of the magnetic ring, so that the two parts of the coil form a cross on the magnetic ring.
[0004] However, since the pure circular core has no steps or separation structures, it is impossible to accurately control the spacing between the 1 / 2 coil of each winding and the other 1 / 2 coil during the winding process. This inconsistency in spacing will cause fluctuations in the electrical performance parameters of the inductor (such as impedance, inductance, etc.), thus affecting the consistency and stability of the product. In addition, inaccurate spacing may also cause changes in the electromagnetic coupling effect between the coils, further affecting the EMI suppression effect of the inductor.
[0005] Therefore, in order to overcome the shortcomings of traditional pure circular magnetic ring common-mode inductors in the winding process, improve the consistency and stability of the product, and at the same time meet the high requirements of high-efficiency and high-power switching power supplies for common-mode inductor performance, it is necessary to develop a new type of common-mode inductor with inner and outer step ring structure. Summary of the invention
[0006] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a common-mode inductor with an inner and outer stepped ring structure, which solves the problems raised by the above-mentioned background technology.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions: a common-mode inductor with an inner and outer step ring structure, comprising a magnetic core, a first coil winding, a second coil winding and a PCB board, wherein the outer edge and the inner edge of the magnetic core are respectively provided with equidistantly distributed outer convex steps and inner convex steps, the magnetic core is divided into four winding sections, the first coil winding and the second coil winding are respectively wound in two opposite winding sections to achieve uniform distribution of the four coils, and the magnetic core, the first coil winding and the second coil winding are fixed as a whole on the PCB board.
[0008] Furthermore, the outer convex step and the inner convex step are integrally formed with the magnetic core, and the height of each step is 1 mm, the width of the outer convex step is 2.4 mm, and the width of the inner convex step is 1.16 mm.
[0009] Furthermore, the common mode inductor further includes: The partition is arranged between the first coil winding and the second coil winding and is fixed between two opposite inner convex steps through a snap-fit structure to avoid mutual interference.
[0010] Furthermore, the engaging structure includes a limiting groove provided at the end of the inner convex step, a clamping groove located inside the limiting groove, and a clamping protrusion at the end of the partition, and the clamping groove and the clamping protrusion are mutually adapted hemispherical structures.
[0011] Furthermore, pins are provided at the bottom of the first coil winding and the second coil winding, and reserved holes matching the pins are reserved on the PCB board, and the pins are inserted into the reserved holes and extend to the bottom of the PCB board.
[0012] Furthermore, a glue seat is coated between the bottom of the magnetic core and the upper surface of the PCB board, which is used to bond and fix the magnetic core to the PCB board.
[0013] Furthermore, the provision of the outer convex step and the inner convex step enables the first coil winding and the second coil winding to maintain a fixed distance, thereby ensuring product consistency.
[0014] Furthermore, the partition is firmly connected to the inner convex step through a snap-fit structure, ensuring that the partition will not fall off naturally after installation, thereby enhancing the stability of the structure.
[0015] The present invention provides a common mode inductor with inner and outer step ring structure. Compared with the prior art, it has the following beneficial effects: 1. This common-mode inductor successfully divides the magnetic ring into four symmetrical winding sections by adding four raised steps on both sides of the inner and outer sides of the magnetic core, and the step height is about 1mm. This design allows the two coils of the common-mode inductor to be divided into four coils, and these four coils can maintain a fixed distance. This precise winding layout not only improves the accuracy and controllability of the winding, but also effectively achieves product consistency and ensures the stability and reliability of the electrical performance parameters of the inductor.
[0016] 2. After adding the steps, the surface area of the core of the common-mode inductor has been significantly increased, thereby expanding the heat dissipation area. This improvement enables the common-mode inductor to better dissipate the heat generated during operation, reduces the temperature rise, and improves the thermal stability and service life of the inductor. This improvement is particularly important in high-efficiency and high-power switching power supplies because it helps maintain the stable performance of the inductor under long-term high-load operation.
[0017] 3. The increase in steps of the common-mode inductor also increases the weight of the magnetic core, which in turn increases the magnetic flux of the magnetic core. This change directly increases the inductance of the finished product, making the inductor perform better in suppressing common-mode interference. At the same time, due to the increase in inductance, the EMI suppression effect of the inductor has also been significantly enhanced, providing more effective electromagnetic compatibility protection for the circuit.
[0018] In summary, the proposed inner and outer step ring structure common mode inductor not only solves the shortcomings of the traditional pure circular magnetic ring common mode inductor in the winding process through the innovative step design, but also brings significant improvements in heat dissipation performance, inductance and EMI effect. This improvement not only meets the high requirements of high-efficiency and high-power switching power supplies for common mode inductor performance, but also provides new ideas and technical support for the development of the electronic component field.
