Background Technology

[0002] Megahertz (MHz) power electronics technology has received widespread attention and achieved significant development in recent years. The main research areas in megahertz power electronics technology include the research and design of megahertz fundamental devices and materials, the research and design of megahertz high-efficiency inverters (power amplifiers), the research and design of megahertz high-efficiency rectifiers and synchronous rectification control algorithms, and the research and design of megahertz high-efficiency transformers. Among these, the research and design of megahertz fundamental devices and materials is of paramount importance, serving as the foundation for other research areas in megahertz power electronics technology.

[0003] Wire is the most fundamental material in the field of power electronics, used to connect circuits or to further manufacture inductors, coils, and other equipment. Traditionally, wires used in the megahertz frequency band are made of ordinary Litz wire, ordinary copper foil, or ordinary solid copper wire. Due to the proximity and skin effect at high frequencies, these traditional wires often have high internal resistance and high losses in the megahertz frequency band. Inductors and coils made from these wires have high internal resistance and low quality factor at high megahertz frequencies, resulting in a decrease in overall system efficiency. Therefore, researching, designing, and developing a new type of wire structure suitable for megahertz power electronics is of great significance.

[0004] Currently, the relevant existing technologies include:

It includes a bundle-shaped protective layer and a wire core. The bundle-shaped protective layer is disposed around the surface outside the wire core. The wire core includes multiple strands of spirally twisted Litz wire. Each Litz wire includes multiple insulated and spirally twisted conductors. The cross-section of the bundle-shaped protective layer and the wire core is approximately rectangular. The scope of application of this technical solution is relatively limited, and the application frequency is limited to medium and high frequency. Summary of the Invention

[0008] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention aims to provide a wire structure and preparation method based on filler and multiple stranded Litz wire.

[0009] The method for preparing a wire structure based on filler and multiple stranded Litz wire according to the present invention includes:

[0010] Step S1: Determine the total number of fine copper wires in the wire structure, the total number and diameter of each stranded wire, and the total filler amount of the wire structure;

[0011] Step S2: Based on the total number and diameter of the fine copper wires in the primary structure wire determined in step S1, twist the fine copper wires together and cover them with filler for the first time to obtain the primary structure wire;

[0012] Step S3: Based on the total number of fine copper wires in the stranded structure, the total number and diameter of each level of stranded structure, and the total filler amount of the wire structure confirmed in Step S1, repeat the multi-level stranding and filler addition for the previous level structure until the total number and diameter of each level of stranded structure and the total filler amount of the wire structure are satisfied as determined in Step S1.

[0013] The repeated multi-stage twisting includes at least a second-stage twisting of the primary structure line.

[0014] Preferably, the filler coating method is to increase the paint thickness or to incorporate non-conductive material, and the filler filling amount is expressed as the non-copper wire area ratio.

[0015] Preferably, step S1 includes:

[0016] Step S1.1: Obtain the eddy current loss of a single thin copper wire;

[0017] Step S1.2: Combining the eddy current loss of the single thin copper wire in step S1.1, obtain the AC internal resistance R of the wire. ac The mathematical relationship between the amount of filling material and the amount of filling material;

[0018] Step S1.3: Combining the AC internal resistance R of the wire in step S1.2 ac To obtain the overall internal resistance R of the wire;

[0019] Step S1.4: Combining the overall wire resistance R in step S1.3 and the wire AC resistance R in step S1.2. ac The mathematical relationship between the amount of fine copper wire and the amount of filler is used to determine the number of fine copper wires N and the non-copper wire area ratio δ.

[0020] Step S1.5: Combine the results from steps S1.1 to S1.4 to obtain the fine copper wire arrangement and stranding method, including: the number of fine copper wires, the total number of wires in each stranding structure, the initial phase and diameter.

[0021] Preferably, in step S1.1, for a single fine copper wire, the eddy current loss of the wire conductor is proportional to the fourth power of the wire diameter, the square of the operating frequency, the reciprocal of the resistivity, and the square of the magnetic field strength. The time-averaged eddy current loss is derived using formula (1):

[0022]

[0023] Where l is the length of the conductor, d is the diameter of the conductor, ω is the angular frequency of the operating frequency, and B max ρ is the peak amplitude of the sinusoidal magnetic field at the location of the conductor, and ρ is the resistivity of the conductor.

[0024] In step S1.2, the non-copper wire area ratio δ is defined as the ratio of the total area of ​​copper wires in the cross-section of the wire to the cross-sectional area of ​​the wire, which is used to represent the amount of filler. The formula for calculating δ is as follows:

[0025]

[0026] Where S is the total cross-sectional area of ​​the wire, N is the total number of fine copper wires, and d is the diameter of each fine copper wire.

[0027] When S is fixed, N causes a change in δ, which in turn causes a change in loss: When S is fixed and the wire structure is fixed, a change in N will not cause a change in current distribution, and the magnetic induction intensity B... max The spatial distribution remains unchanged; the total wire loss increases linearly with the number of copper wires; combining formula (1), the total AC internal resistance of the wire is:

[0028]

[0029] Where P is the eddy current loss of a single thin copper wire in formula (1), k is the internal resistance-single wire loss proportional coefficient, and I is the total current flowing through the wire.

[0030] When N is fixed, S causes a change in δ, which in turn causes a change in loss:

[0031] Changes in the cross-sectional area S of the wire will cause changes in the average distance D between the fine copper wires. avg The change in D; due to the square relationship between distance and area, avg The relationship between S and S is also quadratic:

[0032]

[0033] Where α is the coefficient of proportionality between average distance and number of roots;

[0034] According to Biosavart's law, the magnetic induction intensity B in formula (1) max It is proportional to the total current intensity I passing through the wire and the average distance D between the copper wires. avg The inverse relationship is as follows:

[0035]

[0036] Where β is the proportionality coefficient between the magnetic induction intensity and the average distance of the current;

[0037] Combining and simplifying formulas (1), (4), and (5), the AC internal resistance R of a single copper wire is obtained. ac The relationship between the wire cross-section S and the wire cross-section is shown in formula (6):

[0038]

[0039] Combining formula (6) and formulas (1) to (3), we obtain R. ac The relationship between δ and its value is:

[0040]

[0041] Wherein, ε is the proportionality coefficient between AC loss and copper wire density;

[0042] In step S1.3, the total internal resistance R of the wire is determined by the DC internal resistance R0.dc With AC internal resistance R ac Together, we determine the total DC internal resistance R of the wire. dc The calculation is as follows:

[0043]

[0044] Where N is the number of fine copper wires, l is the length of each fine copper wire, s is the cross-sectional area of ​​each fine copper wire, and ρ is the resistivity of the copper wire.

[0045] Combining formulas (7) and (8), the overall internal resistance R of the wire is obtained as follows:

[0046]

[0047] In step S1.4, in formula (9), since all parameters except N are fixed values, the total internal resistance of the wire is considered as a function of the number of fine copper wires N; when N takes a specific optimal value (denoted as n), the total internal resistance R of the wire can take the minimum value, thereby minimizing the total loss of the wire; the value of n satisfies the following formula (10):

[0048]

[0049] Combining formulas (9) and (10), the specific value of the optimal value n for N is calculated using formula (11):

[0050]

[0051] At this point, with the cross-sectional area of ​​the copper wire and the cross-sectional area of ​​the wire fixed, the optimal total resistance of the wire is obtained by adding filler. Combining formulas (2) and (11), the corresponding non-copper wire area ratio δ is calculated as follows:

[0052]

[0053] Step S1.5: Obtaining the fine copper wire arrangement and twisting method; including:

[0054] Each copper wire in the stranded wire structure is represented by the parametric equation shown in the following formula (13):

[0055]

[0056] Where j represents the fine copper wire number, h represents the parameter variable in the parametric equation, and x j This represents the x-coordinate and y-coordinate of the line in a Cartesian coordinate system. j This represents the y-coordinate and z-coordinate of the line in a Cartesian coordinate system. j This represents the z-coordinate of the line in a Cartesian coordinate system, t represents the total number of twists, and p... i r represents the intercept of the i-th twist.i,j φ represents the twisting radius of the j-th copper wire in the i-th twist. i,j This indicates the initial (phase) position of the j-th copper wire during the i-th twist;

[0057] In each stranding process of the wire structure, the number of wires involved in the stranding is less than or equal to six, and the stranding radius of the wires is the same in each stranding process.

[0058] The wire structure and its corresponding mathematical expression are obtained as shown in formulas (14) and (15):

[0059]

[0060] Where N represents the total number of copper wires, q represents the total number of twists, and r i Let n represent the twist radius of the i-th twist. i This represents the number of strands in the i-th twist. This represents the initial reference phase in the i-th twist.

[0061] Preferably, in step S2: every n i A thin copper wire is first stranded; after stranding, a filler is wrapped around the surface of the stranded structure to form a primary structural wire.

[0062] Step S3 includes:

[0063] Step S3.1: Based on the total number and diameter of the primary structural lines in the secondary structural lines determined in step S1, twist multiple primary structural lines together and then cover them with filler material for the second time to obtain the secondary structural lines;

[0064] Step S3.2: Based on the total number and diameter of the secondary structural lines in the tertiary structural line determined in step S1, twist multiple secondary structural lines together and cover them with filler for the third time to obtain the tertiary structural line;

[0065] After three layers of filling material application in steps S2, S3.1, and S3.2, the total filling material amount meets the total filling material amount of the wire structure determined in step S1.

[0066] Preferably, in step S3.1: the primary structural wire obtained in step S2 is twisted together to obtain a secondary structural wire, and filler is added. If the filler in step S2 already meets the total filler amount of the wire structure in step S1, then no more filler is added.

[0067] In step S3.2: the secondary structure wires obtained in step S3.1 are twisted together to obtain tertiary structure wires, and filler is added. If the filler in step S3.1 already meets the total filler amount of the wire structure in step S1, no more filler is added.

[0068] The present invention provides a megahertz wire structure based on filler and multiple stranded Litz wire, which is obtained by the novel high-frequency megahertz wire structure preparation method based on filler and multiple stranded Litz wire provided by the present invention. It has the performance of suppressing the proximity effect and skin effect of current at high frequencies and reducing loss and internal resistance in the megahertz frequency band.

[0069] Preferably, the wire structure is formed by multiple fine copper wires twisted together in multiple stages, the fine copper wires are evenly and symmetrically arranged in space, and there is a non-conductive filler between each fine copper wire.

[0070] Preferably, the fine copper wire is pre-coated with filler by increasing the enamel thickness or coating with a non-conductive material.

[0071] Preferably, the wire structure is used to wind a megahertz coil.

[0072] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0073] 1. This invention reasonably increases the distance between different fine copper wires in the Litz wire structure by adding filler according to the arrangement optimization during the multi-stage winding process, thereby reducing the eddy current loss and AC internal resistance of each copper wire. In particular, it reduces the high-frequency (megahertz band) AC loss of the wire compared with the traditional concentric twisted structure.

[0074] 2. This invention improves, optimizes, and averages the current distribution in different fine copper wires by repeatedly twisting multiple copper wires in the Litz wire, making each fine copper wire as symmetrical as possible in spatial position; it suppresses the proximity effect and skin effect of current at high frequencies, thereby reducing the loss and internal resistance of the wire in the megahertz frequency band, and further improving the quality factor and other performance of inductors and coils made of this wire in the megahertz frequency band.

[0075] 3. This invention, through the design of the number and arrangement of fine copper wires, takes into account the influence of AC internal resistance and DC internal resistance, and can achieve excellent control effect on DC and AC losses under different numbers of fine copper wires.

[0076] 4. The macroscopic structure of the wire obtained by this invention is similar to that of traditional wire, which makes it easy to produce the new type of wire proposed in this solution by simply modifying existing production equipment, thereby reducing production costs.

[0082] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to specific embodiments. These embodiments will help those skilled in the art to further understand the present invention, but do not limit the invention in any way. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several changes and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention. These all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0083] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a method for preparing a wire structure based on filler and multiple stranded Litz wire, comprising:

[0084] Step S1: Determine the total number of fine copper wires in the wire structure, the total number and diameter of each stranded wire, and the total filler amount of the wire structure;

[0085] Step S3: Based on the total number of fine copper wires in the stranded structure, the total number and diameter of each level of stranded structure, and the total filler amount of the wire structure confirmed in Step S1, repeat the multi-level stranding and filler addition for the previous level structure until the total number and diameter of each level of stranded structure and the total filler amount of the wire structure are satisfied as determined in Step S1.

[0086] Repeated multi-stage twisting includes at least a second stage of twisting the primary structure wire.

[0087] Furthermore, the filler is filled by increasing the paint thickness or by incorporating non-conductive materials, and the filler amount is expressed as the non-copper wire area ratio.

[0088] Further, step S1 includes:

[0089] Step S1.1: Obtain the eddy current loss of a single fine copper wire; specifically, for a single fine copper wire, the eddy current loss of the wire conductor level is proportional to the fourth power of the wire diameter, the square of the operating frequency, the reciprocal of the resistivity, and the square of the magnetic field strength. The time-averaged eddy current loss is derived from formula (1):

[0090]

[0091] Where l is the length of the thin copper wire, d is the diameter of the thin copper wire, ω is the angular frequency of the operating frequency, and B max ρ is the peak amplitude of the sinusoidal magnetic field at the location of the thin copper wire, and ρ is the resistivity of the thin copper wire.

[0092] Step S1.2: Obtain the AC internal resistance R of the wire ac The mathematical relationship between the amount of filler and the non-copper wire area ratio δ is defined as the ratio of the total area of ​​copper wires in the cross-section of the wire to the cross-sectional area of ​​the wire. It is used to characterize the amount of filler. The more filler, the larger the value of δ. Specifically, the formula for calculating δ is as follows:

[0093]

[0094] Where S is the total cross-sectional area of ​​the wire, N is the total number of fine copper wires, and d is the diameter of each fine copper wire.

[0095] When S is fixed, N causes a change in δ, which in turn causes a change in loss: When S is fixed and the wire structure is fixed, a change in N will not cause a change in current distribution, and the magnetic induction intensity B... max The spatial distribution therefore remains unchanged; the AC loss of the wire increases linearly with the number of copper wires; at this time, using formula (1), the total AC internal resistance of the wire is:

[0096]

[0097] Where P is the eddy current loss of a single thin copper wire in formula (1), k is the AC internal resistance - single wire loss proportional coefficient, and I is the total current flowing through the wire.

[0098] When N is fixed, S causes a change in δ, which in turn causes a change in loss:

[0099] Changes in the cross-sectional area S of the wire will cause changes in the average distance D between the fine copper wires. avg The change in D; due to the square relationship between distance and area, avg The relationship between S and S is also quadratic, specifically:

[0100]

[0101] Where α is the coefficient of proportionality between average distance and number of roots;

[0102] According to Biosavart's law, the magnetic induction intensity B in formula (1) is... max It is proportional to the total current intensity I passing through the wire and the average distance D between the copper wires. avg It is inversely proportional, as given by formula (5):

[0103]

[0104] Where β is the proportionality coefficient between the magnetic induction intensity and the average distance of the current;

[0105] Combining and simplifying formulas (1), (4), and (5), the relationship between the AC internal resistance of a single copper wire and S is shown in the following formula (6):

[0106]

[0107] Formula (3) shows that the total AC internal resistance R of the wire ac It is directly proportional to the total number of copper wires N; Formula (6) shows that the total AC internal resistance of the wire is inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area S of the wire; Combining with Formula (2), R can be given. ac The relationship between the δ value and the δ value is given by formula (7):

[0108]

[0109] Where ε is the AC loss-copper wire density proportional coefficient, formula (7) shows that by adding filler and increasing the non-copper wire area ratio δ of the wire, the AC internal resistance R of the wire can be effectively suppressed. ac ;

[0110] Step S1.3: Obtain the overall internal resistance R of the wire; the total internal resistance R of the wire is determined by the DC internal resistance R0. dc With AC internal resistance R ac Together, we decided that the following sections would discuss how to minimize the total internal resistance of the wire by adding filler.

[0111] The total DC internal resistance R of the wire dc The calculation is as follows:

[0112]

[0113] Where N is the number of fine copper wires, l is the length of each fine copper wire, s is the cross-sectional area of ​​each fine copper wire, and ρ is the resistivity of the copper wire.

[0114] Combining formulas (7) and (8), the overall internal resistance R of the wire is obtained as follows:

[0115]

[0116] Step S1.4: Determine the number of fine copper wires N; specifically: in formula (9), since all parameters except N are fixed values, the total internal resistance of the wire can be regarded as a function of the number of fine copper wires N; when N takes a specific optimal value (denoted as n), the total internal resistance R of the wire can take the minimum value, thereby minimizing the total loss of the wire; the value of n satisfies the following formula (10):

[0117]

[0118] Combining formulas (9) and (10), the specific value of the optimal value n for N is calculated using formula (11):

[0119]

[0120] At this point, with the cross-sectional area of ​​the copper wire and the cross-sectional area of ​​the wire fixed, the optimal total resistance of the wire can be obtained by adding filler. Combining formulas (2) and (11), the corresponding non-copper wire area ratio δ can be calculated as follows:

[0121]

[0122] Step S1.5: Obtain the arrangement and twisting method of fine copper wires; including:

[0123] Each copper wire in the stranded wire structure is represented by the parametric equation shown in the following formula (13):

[0124]

[0125] Where j represents the fine copper wire number, h represents the parameter variable in the parametric equation, and x j This represents the x-coordinate and y-coordinate of the line in a Cartesian coordinate system. j This represents the y-coordinate and z-coordinate of the line in a Cartesian coordinate system. j This represents the z-coordinate of the line in a Cartesian coordinate system, t represents the total number of twists, and p... i r represents the intercept of the i-th twist. i,j φ represents the twisting radius of the j-th copper wire in the i-th twist. i,i This indicates the initial (phase) position of the j-th copper wire during the i-th twist;

[0126] Furthermore, to achieve a more precise and superior control effect, in a more preferred embodiment, the present invention provides a wire structure and its corresponding mathematical expression; the structure has the following main features: in each stranding process, the number of wires involved in stranding is less than or equal to six, and the stranding radius of the wires is the same each time; its mathematical expression is based on formula (13), with relevant features supplemented by formulas (14) and (15):

[0127]

[0128] In the formula, N represents the total number of copper wires, q represents the total number of twisting operations, and r i Let n represent the twist radius of the i-th twist. i This represents the number of strands in the i-th twist. This represents the initial reference phase in the i-th twist; meanwhile, the wire example model constructed by formulas (13), (14), and (15) is as follows: Figure 1 As shown;

[0129] Furthermore, Figure 2 The optimized structure of this wire, as shown by formulas (13), (14), and (15), demonstrates the suppression effect of proximity effect and skin effect at high frequencies (taking 6.78MHz as an example). Specifically, the current in different fine copper wires is relatively consistent (e.g., ...). Figure 2 The leftmost sub-figure shows the current distribution in a common copper wire arrangement with the same number of copper wires and the same cross-sectional area. The middle and right sub-figures show the current distribution in a common copper wire arrangement with the same number of copper wires and the same cross-sectional area.

[0130] Furthermore, in step S2 above: every n i A thin copper wire is first stranded; after stranding, a filler is wrapped around the surface of the stranded structure to form a primary structural wire.

[0131] Step S3 above includes:

[0132] Step S3.1: Based on the total number and diameter of the primary structural lines in the secondary structural lines determined in step S1, twist multiple primary structural lines together and then cover them with filler material for the second time to obtain the secondary structural lines;

[0133] Step S3.2: Based on the total number and diameter of the secondary structural lines in the tertiary structural line determined in step S1, twist multiple secondary structural lines together and cover them with filler for the third time to obtain the tertiary structural line;

[0134] After three layers of filling material application in steps S2, S3.1, and S3.2, the total filling material amount meets the total filling material amount of the wire structure determined in step S1.

[0135] Further, in step S3.1 above: the primary structural wire obtained in step S2 is twisted to obtain the secondary structural wire, and filler is added. If the filler in step S2 already meets the overall filler amount of the wire structure in step S1, then no more filler is added; specifically: since the filler in the primary structural wire may have a certain volume, elasticity and toughness, it plays the role of filler in the secondary structural wire and increases the distance between the thin copper wires; therefore, it can be omitted for cost considerations.

[0136] In step S3.2 above: the secondary structure wires obtained in step S3.1 are twisted together to obtain tertiary structure wires, and filler is added. If the filler in step S3.1 already meets the total filler amount of the wire structure in step S1, no more filler is added.

[0137] The Litz wire with a multi-twisted structure and filler, manufactured according to the proposed scheme, exhibits a significant performance improvement in the megahertz frequency band compared to traditional Litz wire.

[0138] More specifically, this invention also provides a megahertz wire structure based on filler and multiple stranded Litz wire. This structure is obtained through the novel high-frequency megahertz wire fabrication method provided in this invention, which suppresses the proximity effect and skin effect of current at high frequencies, and reduces losses and internal resistance in the megahertz band. The wire structure is formed by multiple fine copper wires stranded in multiple stages. The fine copper wires are evenly and symmetrically arranged in space, and each fine copper wire is separated by a non-conductive filler such as insulating varnish or nylon wire.

[0139] The following is a more specific embodiment to further illustrate the point:

[0140] Example 1

[0141] In a more specific embodiment, the filler and the formation of the multiple-stranded structure are achieved by repeatedly twisting the wrapped Litz wire, such as... Figure 3 As shown, this wire has a 6*6*30*0.03mm wire structure; it can be used as a general wire, or it can be used to make inductors and coils, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the upper left is the wire, the lower left is the wire used to wind the inductor, and the right is the wire used to wind the coil.

[0142] In this embodiment:

[0143] In step S2, prepare several fine copper wires with a diameter of 0.03mm, and twist 30 fine copper wires together for the first time. After twisting, cover the surface of the twisted structure with a layer of nylon filament as a filler to form a 30*0.03 primary structure wire.

[0144] In step S3.1, the six primary structural wires are twisted together to form a 6*30*0.03 secondary structural wire. At this time, the nylon filaments on the surface of the primary structural wires, due to their own certain volume, elasticity and toughness, meet the filler area requirements when determining the arrangement method, and play the role of filler in the secondary structural wires and widening the distance between the fine copper wires.

[0145] In step S3.2, the six secondary structure wires are twisted together to form a 6*6*30*0.03 tertiary structure wire; at this time, the nylon filaments on the surface of the primary structure wire continue to serve as filler and to increase the distance between the fine copper wires.

[0146] In a more preferred embodiment, the fine copper wire is pre-coated with filler by increasing the enamel thickness or coating with a non-conductive material, and the amount of filler in the fine copper wire coating affects the value of δ.

[0147] The coils wound using the novel high-frequency megahertz wire structure based on filler and multiple stranded Litz wire obtained through the above steps were analyzed using a network analyzer, and the results are shown in the table below:

[0148]

[0149] Compared to existing ordinary Litz wire products, which have an inductance of 4.15uH, an internal resistance of 0.46Ω, and a quality factor of 387 at 6.78MHz with the same number of turns, the Litz wire with filler in this application has an inductance of 3.38uH, an internal resistance of 0.15Ω, and a quality factor of 973 at 6.78MHz. Compared to traditional wire (ordinary Litz wire products), this application shows a significant performance improvement in the megahertz frequency band.

[0150] More specifically, the implementation principle of this invention is as follows: for a given system and copper wire, the wire length, wire diameter, operating frequency, and resistivity of the material are all fixed values. Therefore, the loss P can be reduced by decreasing the magnetic induction intensity of the magnetic field at the location of the wire. According to the principle of linear superposition of magnetic fields, the magnetic induction intensity at the location of each thin wire is equal to the superposition of the magnetic fields generated by all other thin wires at that point. According to the Biot-Savart principle, under the condition that the current distribution remains basically unchanged, the farther each thin wire is from other thin copper wires, the lower the magnetic induction intensity value at its location. Correspondingly, as can be seen from formula (1), the lower the magnetic induction intensity, the smaller the loss. Therefore, in terms of filler, by using different means, while ensuring that the structure remains approximately unchanged, increasing the filler can significantly increase the spacing between different thin wires in the Litz wire, thereby significantly reducing the AC internal resistance of the Litz wire in the megahertz frequency band. In terms of arrangement, ordinary Litz wires are usually composed of many fine copper wires randomly. The arrangement of the fine copper wires in this invention is specially designed to meet the requirements of repeated stranding. The core purpose of this repeated stranding is to make each fine copper wire as symmetrical and uniform as possible in spatial position, so as to avoid the phenomenon of current being too concentrated on certain wires, reduce the skin effect and proximity effect of current distribution in the megahertz frequency band, make the current distribution between different fine wires as even as possible, and thus reduce AC loss and AC internal resistance.

[0151] In summary, this invention provides a wire structure and preparation method based on filler and multiple stranded Litz wire. The preparation method of the wire structure based on filler and multiple stranded Litz wire includes: Step S1: Determining the optimal arrangement in the wire stranding; Step S2: Stranding fine copper wire and covering it with filler to obtain a primary structure wire; Step S1: Determining the optimal arrangement in the wire stranding; Step S2: Stranding fine copper wire and covering it with filler to obtain a primary structure wire; Step S3: According to the optimal arrangement in the wire stranding confirmed in Step S1, repeating multiple stranding and adding filler to the previous structure wire until the optimal arrangement in the wire stranding determined in Step S1 is satisfied; the repeated multiple stranding includes at least a secondary stranding of the primary structure wire. The filling method involves increasing the enamel thickness or stranding in non-conductive materials; the filling increases the spacing between the fine copper wires in the wire, reducing the AC loss in the megahertz band of the resulting Litz wire; the optimized internal structure arrangement of the wire suppresses the proximity effect and skin effect at high frequencies, reducing the high-frequency AC internal resistance and AC loss of the resulting Litz wire.
