[0035] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] See also Figure 1-4 A transformer for reducing thermal damage includes a protective shell 1, on which a winding skeleton 2 and a magnetic core 3 are provided. The winding skeleton 2 has a magnetic core penetration hole 4 arranged along a first direction, and the outer side of the winding skeleton 2 is provided with a winding groove 5 surrounding the magnetic core penetration hole 4 along the circumference of the magnetic core penetration hole 4. The winding groove 5 is used for winding a primary winding and a secondary winding. The magnetic core 3 is penetrated on the magnetic core penetration hole 4 along the first direction. A magnetically actuated heat dissipation component 6 is also provided on the protective shell 1.

[0037] The magnetically actuated heat dissipation component 6 is configured such that when the primary winding and the secondary winding are energized, the magnetic field obtained by the magnetic core 3 is magnetically actuated to a heat dissipation state; when the power is cut off and the magnetic attraction fails, it is reset to a protection state.

[0038] In some embodiments, the portion of the winding bobbin 2 having the winding groove is located inside the protective shell 1 , and a heat dissipation connecting groove 7 corresponding to the inner winding bobbin 2 is passed through the outer side of the protective shell 1 .

[0039] The magnetically actuated heat dissipation assembly 6 includes a protective cover 601 movably arranged on the protective shell 1. The protective cover 601 moves on the protective shell 1 and forms a first movable position for blocking the heat dissipation connecting groove 7 or intensifying the blocking of the heat dissipation connecting groove 7, and a second movable position for disengaging from the blocking of the heat dissipation connecting groove 7 or reducing the blocking of the heat dissipation connecting groove 7.

[0040] The protective cover 601 is provided with a magnetically attracted member 602 and an elastic reset member 603. When the primary winding and the secondary winding are energized, the magnetically attracted member 602 on the protective cover 601 is magnetically attracted by the magnetic field obtained by the magnetic core, causing the protective cover 601 to move from the first active position to the second active position, so that the heat in the protective shell 1 can be discharged more quickly, reducing the heat accumulation in the winding and the magnetic core. At this time, the elastic reset member 603 is in an elastic deformation state or an aggravated elastic deformation state; when the power is cut off and the magnetic attraction fails, the elastic reset member 603 performs elastic deformation recovery accordingly, causing the protective cover 601 to move from the second active position to the first active position, forming a reset effect. At this time, the protective cover 601 forms a blockage for the heat dissipation connection groove 7, so that the winding in the protective shell 1 is further protected.

[0041] In some embodiments, the protective shell 1 has a through-connecting groove that penetrates two opposite outer sides of the protective shell 1 along a first direction. After the through-connecting groove penetrates the two opposite outer sides along the first direction, a first through-connecting opening 8a and a second through-connecting opening 8b are formed on the two opposite outer sides respectively.

[0042] like Figure 3 As shown, the connecting groove is provided to pass through the upper and lower sides of the protective shell 1 .

[0043] In some embodiments, the winding bobbin 2 includes a winding post 203 arranged along a first direction, a connection end 201 connected to one end of the winding post 203, and a functional end 202 located at the other end of the winding post 203. The functional end 202 is detachable from the winding post 203, the connection end 201 is provided with a winding outlet 204 and a connecting pin 205, and the winding groove 5 is provided on the outer side of the winding post 203.

[0044] After the other end of the winding post 203 passes through the protective shell 1 from the first penetration opening 8a (or the second penetration opening), the functional end 202 can be engaged with one end of the winding post 203 at the second penetration opening 8b (or the first penetration opening).

[0045] When engaged, the functional end portion 202 and the connection end portion 201 can clamp the protective shell 1 in a first direction.

[0046] In some embodiments, the winding bobbin 2 further includes a connecting tape 206 , which tightly wraps the functional end 202 and the wiring end 201 on the protective shell 1 .

[0047] like Figure 1 、 3 As shown, for example, the first through-opening 8 a is located on the bottom side of the protective shell 1 , and the second through-opening 8 b is located on the top side of the protective shell 1 .

[0048] The winding post 203 passes through the first opening 8a into the protective shell 1, and the connection end 201 forms a counteracting effect with the bottom side of the protective shell 1; the functional end 202 approaches the upper end of the winding post 203 from top to bottom, and forms a counteracting effect on the top side of the protective shell 1 from top to bottom.

[0049] The connecting belt 206 wraps the functional end 202 and the wiring end 201 tightly on the protective shell 1 along the wrapping route of the top of the functional end 202 - the right side of the protective shell 1 - the bottom of the wiring end 201 - the left side of the protective shell 1, so that the functional end 202 and the wiring end 201 form a clamping on the protective shell 1 in the up and down directions.

[0050] In some embodiments, the magnetic core 3 has a columnar portion 301, which penetrates the magnetic core penetration hole 4 from bottom to top. When the primary winding and the secondary winding are energized, a magnetic pole direction is formed on the top of the columnar portion 301 along the first direction.

[0051] In some embodiments, the heat dissipation connecting groove 7 is provided on the outer side of the protective shell 1 parallel to the first direction, and the protective cover 601 moves along the first direction.

[0052] In some embodiments, a slide rail 9 is provided on the functional end 202, and a slider 10 that cooperates with the slide rail 9 is connected to the protective cover 601. The protective cover 601 is slid on the slide rail 9 along the first direction through the slider 10, and can slide to the first active position and the second active position accordingly.

[0053] The protective cover 601 moves on the outside of the protective shell 1 where the heat dissipation connecting groove 7 is located, and when the protective cover 601 moves to the first movable position, the protective cover 601 moves along the first direction to block the notch of the heat dissipation connecting groove 7 or to block the notch of the heat dissipation connecting groove 7 more; when the protective cover 601 moves to the second movable position, the protective cover 601 moves along the first direction to disengage from the notch of the heat dissipation connecting groove 7 or to block the notch of the heat dissipation connecting groove 7 less.

[0054] In some embodiments, the heat dissipation connecting groove 7 penetrates two opposite outer sides of the protective shell 1 along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, and forms a first heat dissipation opening 701 and a second heat dissipation opening 702 on the two opposite outer sides respectively.

[0055] like Figure 1 、 3 As shown, the heat dissipation connecting groove 7 passes through the front and back sides of the protective shell 1.

[0056] In some embodiments, after the winding post 203 is inserted into the protective shell 1, a gas flow channel 11 connected to the first heat dissipation opening 701 and the second heat dissipation opening 702 is provided between the inner wall of the protective shell 1 and the winding (primary winding, secondary winding) wound on the winding post 203, thereby achieving better heat dissipation effect.

[0057] In some embodiments, the protection cover 601 has a first portion corresponding to the first heat dissipation opening 701 , and a second portion corresponding to the second heat dissipation opening 702 .

[0058] In some embodiments, the present transformer is used in a circuit system having an air-cooling module. Through the first heat dissipation opening, the second heat dissipation opening and the gas flow channel, when the primary winding and the secondary winding are energized, the present transformer can be better air-cooled by the air-cooling module in the circuit system through the open gas flow channel; when the primary winding and the secondary winding are de-energized, the gas flow channel can be switched to a closed state, thereby reducing damage to the windings inside the protective shell.

[0059] In some embodiments, the magnetic pole direction of the magnetic field obtained by the magnetic core 3 is parallel to the first direction.

[0060] In some embodiments, the slide rail 9 is formed on a side of the functional end 202 away from the connection end 201 along the first direction, and the slider 10 is slidably disposed on the slide rail along the first direction.

[0061] The slider 10 can be placed in the slide rail 9 from the opening at one end of the slide rail 9 away from the wiring end 201. When the connecting belt 206 is tightened, the connecting belt 206 forms a corresponding limiting structure for preventing the slider 10 from falling out. The structure is simple and ingenious, easy to install and stable.

[0062] In some embodiments, the magnetically attracted member 602 is connected to the slider 10 , and the magnetically attracted member 602 corresponds to the magnetic poles formed after the magnetic core 3 obtains the magnetic field.

[0063] In some embodiments, the elastic return member 603 is an elastic component such as a spring (such as a compression spring) or a spring.

[0064] The elastic reset member 603 is located between the slider 10 and the inner wall of the slide rail 9. When the slider 10 slides along the first direction and in the direction close to the wiring end 201, the elastic reset member 603 is pressed by the slider 10 and the inner wall of the slide rail 9 to elastic deformation.

[0065] In some embodiments, the magnetically attracted object is, for example, an iron block.

[0066] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the invention can be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as illustrative and non-restrictive, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims, not the foregoing description, and all variations within the meaning and range of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included therein. Any reference sign in a claim should not be construed as limiting the claim to which it relates.
