Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of inductive devices, and specifically relates to a method for manufacturing a planar transformer and a planar transformer. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, with the development of switching power supply PCB technology, a solution using embedded magnetic technology to replace traditional surface mount technology for manufacturing planar transformers has emerged. This solution has the advantages of small size and no need for transformer surface mount technology. However, the process of embedding magnetic blocks in the industry is not yet fully mature, and the shape of the embedded magnetic blocks is relatively simple, such as single embedded magnetic sheets or magnetic pillars. Among them, single embedded magnetic sheets are placed on the upper and lower layers of the conductive coil winding. Due to the lack of a magnetic pillar that runs through the coil, the magnetic circuit is in a semi-closed state, the magnetic field between the magnetic sheets is disordered, the coupling coefficient between the primary and secondary coils is low, and the transmission efficiency of the transformer is poor. On the other hand, because metal oxide magnetic blocks (magnetic sheets or magnetic pillars) with a large difference in expansion coefficient from the PCB material are embedded in the circuit board, it is easy to cause serious board warping defects during the manufacturing process due to asymmetrical pressing. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a planar transformer and a planar transformer, which aims to overcome at least one of the defects in the prior art, improve the coupling coefficient of the planar transformer in the embedded magnetic PCB, and reduce board warping defects in the lamination process.

[0028] Furthermore, there is an air gap left between the magnetic column 1603 and the second magnetic sheet 222.

[0029] Term Explanation:

[0030] Circuit: The carrier of the flowing current. The manufacturing method is to use photoresist on the copper - clad laminate to determine the local etching area, then expose and develop, and pickling to remove the photoresist and the excess copper foil to form a coil pattern.

[0031] Prepreg: Also known as "PP sheet", it is one of the main materials in the production of multi - layer boards, mainly composed of resin and reinforcing materials.

[0032] Carrier board: Also called "PP sheet", it is also one of the main materials in the production of multi - layer boards, mainly composed of resin and reinforcing materials.

[0033] Concentrated magnetic circuit: Usually, magnetic flux is generated due to the charging of the coil winding and circulates around the conductive coil. The magnetic permeability of air is 1. Therefore, after the winding coil in the air is conductive, the magnetic flux will disperse around the winding, so the magnetic circuit is not concentrated. When a high - magnetic - permeability magnetic column is added between two magnetic sheets, because the magnetic permeability of the magnetic column is much greater than 1, it provides a high - speed conduction magnetic path, so that the magnetic flux is concentrated in the magnetic column for circulation, which is called a concentrated magnetic circuit.

[0034] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0035] (1) A magnetic column is added between the upper and lower magnetic sheets in the buried - magnet planar transformer, so that the magnetic circuit of the planar transformer is closed, the coupling coefficient between the primary - side winding and the secondary - side winding is increased, the eddy - current loss of the coil is reduced, and the transmission efficiency of the PCB buried - magnet planar transformer is improved.

[0036] (2) The circuit board is laminated in three stages, which can effectively reduce board warping defects caused by the introduction of metal magnetic blocks with large differences in expansion coefficients and asymmetrical lamination during the lamination process. Attached Figure Description

[0089] By setting the number and position of the magnetic posts 1603, other magnetic core structures can also be formed in the planar transformer according to embodiments of the present invention. For example, the number of magnetic posts 1603 is 3, one of which is a middle post and two are side posts. The side posts are arranged in parallel on the left and right sides of the middle post, so that the first magnetic sheet 212, the second magnetic sheet 222 and the magnetic posts 1603 form an inverted "day" - shaped magnetic core structure. The first circuit 1111, the second circuit 1211, the third circuit 1401 and the fourth circuit 1604 are arranged around the middle post in the area between the two side posts. For the cross - sectional view of the planar transformer with this magnetic core structure along the thickness direction, please refer to Figure 15 .

[0090] Furthermore, an air gap is left between the magnetic post 1603 and the second magnetic sheet 222, which can improve the anti - saturation ability of the planar transformer, enabling the transformer to withstand a larger working current and reducing the influence of the mechanical stress caused by PCB pressing on the magnetic sheet, which may lead to a decrease in inductance.
