AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies make it difficult to fabricate nanocrystalline alloy rod-shaped magnetic cores with a diameter of more than 0.2 mm, and these cores are prone to breakage when wound into coils, resulting in insufficient inductance change rate and failing to meet the high resolution requirements of miniature inductors.
A rod-shaped magnetic core was prepared by filling the mold hole with nanocrystalline alloy wire and curing it with epoxy resin. The core strength was enhanced and the magnetic lines of force were constrained by combining it with an iron-based nanocrystalline soft magnetic alloy jacket. This method was used to prepare a rod-shaped magnetic core with a diameter of 0.3 to 0.5 mm and an inductor with an outer diameter of 0.8 to 0.9 mm.
The fabrication of rod-shaped magnetic cores with diameters greater than 0.2 mm has been achieved, enhancing the core strength and significantly improving the inductance. This enables non-destructive testing in circuit board holes with a resolution of 0.25–0.45 μH/μm.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of non-destructive testing technology for inductor devices, specifically relating to a rod-shaped magnetic core and its preparation method, an inductor and its preparation method, and its applications. Background Technology
[0002] When a rod-shaped inductor is inserted into a hole with a metal coating, significant eddy current induction occurs in the metal coating at higher frequencies, leading to a noticeable change in inductance. Therefore, rod-shaped inductors can be used for non-destructive testing of metal coatings, finding wide application in light industry, metallurgy, and electronics. Holes on circuit boards serve as solder joints, thus requiring the hole walls to have a metal coating that connects to the printed circuitry. The smallest hole on a circuit board has a diameter of only 0.9 mm, therefore the diameter of the miniature rod-shaped inductor must not exceed 0.9 mm.
[0003] The rate of change of inductance with and without coating is a key factor limiting detector resolution. To improve resolution, a larger inductance value and a larger inductance change value are required. From the formula (1) for a rod-shaped inductor, it can be seen that increasing the cross-sectional area (A) of the core material... c This helps to increase the inductance value.
[0004]
[0005] In equation (1), L s μ0 is the inductance of the rod-shaped inductor, in H; μ0 is the permeability of free space, in H / m; μ0 is the permeability of free space. r A is the relative permeability of the core material, without dimensions; N is the number of turns of the inductor coil, without dimensions; A c The cross-sectional area of the rod-shaped magnetic core is expressed in meters (m²). 2 l represents the length of the rod-shaped magnetic core, in meters (m).
[0006] Since the total diameter of a rod-shaped inductor cannot exceed 0.9 mm, the maximum diameter of the core material can only be around 0.5 mm. Chinese Patent 202211100714.0 reports a fabrication process for a nanocrystalline alloy rod-shaped magnetic core. This involves first preparing an amorphous alloy strip, then performing winding, annealing, and curing processes to obtain a nanocrystalline alloy block. Finally, a CNC wire cutting process is used to cut rod-shaped magnetic cores with a diameter of approximately 0.5 mm from the cured nanocrystalline alloy block. However, this process suffers from uneven cut surfaces and the presence of a burn-off layer, which significantly reduces the relative permeability of the core when the core diameter is very small.
[0007] Amorphous alloy wires can be prepared using a glass-encapsulated drawing process, followed by amorphous crystallization annealing to produce nanocrystalline alloy wires, resulting in nanocrystalline alloy wire cores with very high relative permeability. However, due to limitations in amorphous formation capabilities, current processes cannot produce single amorphous alloy wires with diameters greater than 0.2 mm, and therefore cannot produce single nanocrystalline alloy wires with diameters greater than 0.2 mm. Furthermore, after amorphous crystallization annealing, the nanocrystalline alloy wires become very brittle, unable to withstand stress during coil winding, and are extremely prone to breakage. Summary of the Invention
[0008] The purpose of this invention is to provide a rod-shaped magnetic core and its preparation method, an inductor and its preparation method, and its application. This invention can prepare rod-shaped magnetic cores with a diameter of 0.2 mm or more and the prepared rod-shaped magnetic cores have high strength.
[0009] This invention provides a method for preparing a rod-shaped magnetic core, comprising the following steps:
[0010] The nanocrystalline alloy wire is filled into the mold hole along the extension direction of the rod-shaped magnetic core mold hole, and then epoxy resin is infiltrated into the gap of the nanocrystalline alloy wire for curing to obtain the rod-shaped magnetic core; the diameter of the nanocrystalline alloy wire is 0.05-0.2 mm; the diameter of the mold hole is 0.3-0.5 mm.
[0011] Preferably, the nanocrystalline alloy wire is composed of an iron-based nanocrystalline soft magnetic alloy.
[0012] Preferably, the viscosity of the epoxy resin is less than 1500 mPa·s.
[0013] Preferably, the length of the nanocrystalline alloy wire is equal to the depth of the mold hole.
[0014] The present invention also provides a rod-shaped magnetic core prepared by the preparation method described above, wherein the rod-shaped magnetic core comprises nanocrystalline alloy wire bundles and epoxy resin filling the gaps between the nanocrystalline alloy wire bundles, and the diameter of the rod-shaped magnetic core is 0.3 to 0.5 mm.
[0015] The present invention also provides an inductor comprising a rod-shaped magnetic core, a coil, epoxy resin, and an outer sheath; the coil is wound around the rod-shaped magnetic core; the epoxy resin is filled between the rod-shaped magnetic core on which the coil is wound and the outer sheath.
[0016] The outer diameter of the outer jacket is 0.8–0.9 mm;
[0017] The rod-shaped magnetic core is the rod-shaped magnetic core described in the above scheme.
[0018] Preferably, the length of the rod-shaped magnetic core is 6-8 mm.
[0019] Preferably, the length of the outer jacket is 8-12 mm; the outer jacket is composed of an iron-based nanocrystalline soft magnetic alloy.
[0020] The present invention also provides a method for preparing the inductor described above, comprising the following steps:
[0021] A coil is wound around a rod-shaped magnetic core to obtain a rod-shaped magnetic core with a wound coil.
[0022] The rod-shaped magnetic core of the wound coil is inserted into the outer casing, and epoxy resin is filled into the gap between the rod-shaped magnetic core and the outer casing. After curing, the inductor is obtained.
[0023] The present invention also provides the application of the inductor described in the above-described scheme or the inductor prepared by the above-described scheme in the copper layer of the probe circuit board.
[0024] This invention provides a method for preparing a rod-shaped magnetic core, comprising the following steps: filling a mold hole with nanocrystalline alloy wire along the extension direction of the mold hole; then infiltrating the gaps between the nanocrystalline alloy wire with epoxy resin and curing it to obtain the rod-shaped magnetic core; the diameter of the nanocrystalline alloy wire is 0.05–0.2 mm; the diameter of the mold hole is 0.3–0.5 mm. The preparation method of this invention can prepare rod-shaped magnetic cores with a diameter of 0.2 mm or more, and the epoxy resin in this invention enhances the strength of the rod-shaped magnetic core, preventing it from breaking when wound with a coil. Furthermore, the rod-shaped magnetic core of this invention does not have the problems of uneven surface and burn-out layer, and does not reduce the relative permeability of the magnetic core.
[0025] The rod-shaped magnetic core prepared by this invention has a diameter of 0.3 to 0.5 mm, which lays the foundation for preparing miniature rod-shaped inductors with high inductance and a diameter not exceeding 0.9 mm.
[0026] This invention provides an inductor that, by using a rod-shaped magnetic core with a diameter of 0.3–0.5 mm, allows the outer diameter of the outer casing to be reduced to 0.8–0.9 mm, not exceeding the minimum hole diameter of 0.9 mm on the circuit board, thus enabling non-destructive testing of the copper layer within the circuit board holes. The testing principle is as follows: when a copper layer is tightly attached to the outside of the outer casing, a significant eddy current effect is generated within the copper layer, inducing a current. The induced magnetic field generated by this current significantly reduces the inductance value of the miniature rod-shaped inductor. The thicker the copper layer, the more pronounced the eddy current effect and the greater the reduction in inductance. Therefore, the thickness of the copper layer within the circuit board holes can be determined based on the magnitude of the inductance change, achieving non-destructive testing.
[0027] Furthermore, when the outer casing is made of an iron-based nanocrystalline soft magnetic alloy, the inductor provided by this invention has a rod-shaped magnetic core made of nanocrystalline alloy inserted inside, and is wrapped with an iron-based nanocrystalline soft magnetic alloy cylindrical outer casing. This further constrains the magnetic field lines of the spiral coil, confining them within the iron-based nanocrystalline alloy. Therefore, under the same size and number of turns, the inductance value is much higher than that of ordinary rod-shaped inductors. The results of the embodiments show that the inductor of this invention has a resolution of 0.25–0.45 μH / μm for metal coatings. Attached Figure Description

[0059] In this invention, the outer casing is preferably composed of an iron-based nanocrystalline soft magnetic alloy; the iron-based nanocrystalline soft magnetic alloy preferably includes Fe. 73.5 Si 13.5 B9Nb3Cu1 or Fe 73.5 Si 15.5 B7Nb3Cu1.
