DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The specific embodiments of the present invention are further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings to make the technical solutions of the present invention easier to understand and grasp.

[0030] Example 1:

[0031] A conveniently installed chip mutual inductor includes a magnetic core 1, a coil winding 2, a spring clip 3, and a housing 4. The coil winding 2 is an enameled wire winding structure. The two ends of the spring clip 3 are polished so that they can be welded. The spring clip 3 can be used as a conductor as a coil. The overall structure is shown in Figure 1. Figure 1 shown.

[0032] refer to Figure 3 It can be seen that the magnetic core 1 is divided into two symmetrical halves 11. The half 11 is "E"-shaped and the protruding part in the middle is the plug rod 12. The coil winding 2 is hollow and is sleeved on the plug rod 12. The plug rods 12 of the two half bodies 11 are respectively inserted into the hollow ends of the coil winding 2 and closed to each other. The two sides of the half body 11 are baffles 13, and a gap is left between the coil winding 2 and the baffle 13.

[0033] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 1 Understand, in Figure 2 In the schematic cross-sectional structure, the schematic is Figure 1 The approximate cross-sectional structure at the AA position in the middle. It can be understood in conjunction with the following structural description: the retaining spring 3 includes a snap edge 31 formed by bending, and a "U"-shaped enclosure portion 33. The above-mentioned grinding of the retaining spring 3 is performed on the bottom of the snap edge 31. The snap edges 31 are located at both ends of the enclosure portion 33 and are in a snap-fitting manner, which can compress the coil winding 2. During installation, the enclosure portion 33 extends from the gap and is snapped onto the magnetic core 1 through the snap edges 31. The outer periphery of the magnetic core 1 is fixed by tape and can also be assembled on the outer shell 4. There are pins 6 on the outer shell 4, which are connected to the coil winding 2. The retaining spring 3 and the magnetic core 1 are fixed by glue dripping, and the outer shell 4 is sleeved around the outer periphery of the magnetic core 1 and fixes the magnetic core 1.

[0034] exist Figure 2As can be seen in the figure, the enclosing plate portion 33 of the clamping spring 3 is provided with a plurality of bending structures 32, which are an even number and are symmetrical on the enclosing plate portion 33. There are two bending structures 32.

[0035] Example 2:

[0036] Combine Figure 2 and Figure 4 It is understood that this embodiment is based on embodiment 1. It can be seen that a test module 5 is provided in the enclosure portion 33 of the clamping spring 3. The test module 5 includes an insulating partition 51, a conductive support plate 52, a packaging shell 53, a rivet 54, and a thermal bimetallic strip 55. The packaging shell 53 has a accommodating space, and the conductive support plate 52 is divided into a positive electrode portion 521 and a negative electrode portion 522. An insulating partition 51 is placed on the conductive support plate 52, and the insulating partition 51 has a through groove 511. The insulating partition 51 is placed on the conductive support plate 52 and fixed to each other. The through groove 511 is positioned for the conductive support plate 52 to fix a fixed contact piece 523. One end of the thermal bimetallic strip 55 is fixed to the negative electrode portion 522 of the conductive support plate 52 by a rivet 54. The lower end of the thermal bimetallic strip 55 is provided with a moving contact piece 551 facing the fixed contact piece 523. The packaging shell 53 fixes the conductive support plate 52, and when the packaging shell 53 is heated and the heat is transferred to the thermal bimetallic strip 55, the positive electrode portion 521 and the negative electrode portion 522 of the conductive support plate 52 are connected.

[0037] As we know, the thermal bimetallic strip 55 deforms under high temperatures, specifically bending in one direction, allowing the movable contact 551 to contact the fixed contact 523, thereby connecting the conductive support plate 52. During use, wires are also drawn out, not shown in the accompanying drawings. These wires are connected to external circuits. During testing, the test module 5 can be connected in series with a battery and an indicator light. If the conductive support plate 52 is connected, the indicator light will illuminate; otherwise, the indicator light will remain off, indicating a power outage.

[0038] Test module 5 can test whether the internal operating environment is at a high temperature. This mechanical structure test is very reliable and has a long service life. When detecting high current, it can be used to set the temperature threshold to prevent the temperature from exceeding the upper limit.

[0039] Specifically, the encapsulating housing 53 is made of an insulating material and is insulated from the retaining spring 3. The conductive support plate 52 and the encapsulating housing 53 have terminals for connecting to the conductors and are insulated at the ends. To improve the reliability and comprehensiveness of the sensing, multiple test modules 5 are provided, located on both inner sides and / or the inner top of the retaining spring 3. This eliminates errors in many aspects and improves the reliability of operating temperature detection.

[0040] Specific example: a thermally conductive insulator 531 is provided on the packaging shell 53, and the thermally conductive insulator 531 includes one or more of thermally conductive silica gel, thermally conductive insulating elastic rubber, and thermally conductive filling glue.

[0041] Further, in order to solve the temperature threshold control, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, this solution features a bellows bladder 56 connected between the bimetallic strip and the conductive support plate 52. Bellows bladder 56 is a sealed bellows structure whose elasticity is adjusted by the inflation pressure. The addition of a test module 5 improves operational reliability, providing a sensitive response to temperature and also serving as a temperature-controlled switch. When connected, test module 5 provides a line-connection feedback signal if the transformer's operating temperature is abnormal.

[0042] Example 3:

[0043] Based on Example 2, it can be seen that a production method of a patch mutual inductor that is easy to install is provided. For the patch mutual inductor that is easy to install, the test module 5 is installed and the test lead is passed through. The coil winding 2 is connected to the pin 6. When the pin 6 is powered on for testing, the working temperature is transferred to the test module 5 by heat conduction. An external temperature detector is set in the laboratory and the external temperature data is displayed. The test module 5 adjusts the elastic force of the bellows airbag 56 by the amount of gas passed into the bellows airbag 56. When the thermal bimetallic strip 55 is deformed by heat and is about to become conductive, the elasticity of the bellows airbag 56 needs to be overcome. The ventilation volume or air pressure value of the bellows airbag 56 when the test module 5 is heated and powered on is set as needed.

[0044] The transformer's structure utilizes a magnetic core 1 to position the coil winding 2, while a retaining spring 3 also acts as a retaining force, allowing the coil winding 2 to be disengaged from various directions. The coil winding 2 is then further reinforced with adhesive tape and glue. This results in highly efficient assembly and a secure, reliable structure. The retaining spring 3 acts as a winding, allowing the robot arm to pick it up by gripping it, facilitating installation.

[0045] Example 4:

[0046] A method for producing a conveniently installed chip mutual inductor, based on Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, and according to the conveniently installed chip mutual inductor, comprises the following steps:

[0047] Step 1: Wind the enameled wire using an automatic winding machine, solder the enameled wire using an automatic soldering machine, clean it using ultrasonic waves, and wrap the coil with adhesive tape to form a coil winding 2;

[0048] Step 2: Install the retaining spring 3 and the magnetic core 1, wrap the magnetic core 1 with tape, and mark the points;

[0049] Step 3: Measure the inductance and use a glue dispenser to fix the retaining spring 3 and the magnetic core 1;

[0050] Step 4: Bake the product;

[0051] Step 5: Verification and testing, including appearance inspection, turn-to-turn test, voltage test, comprehensive test, projection inspection, and full appearance inspection.

[0052] Of course, the above are only typical examples of the present invention. In addition, the present invention may also have many other specific implementation methods. Any technical solutions formed by equivalent replacement or equivalent transformation fall within the scope of protection required by the present invention.
