Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of common mode inductors, and in particular to a snap-fit ​​common mode inductor. Background Technology

[0002] A common-mode inductor, also called a common-mode choke, is commonly used in computer switching power supplies to filter common-mode electromagnetic interference signals. Essentially, it's a bidirectional filter; it filters out common-mode electromagnetic interference on signal lines while simultaneously suppressing its own electromagnetic interference emissions to avoid affecting the normal operation of other electronic devices in the same electromagnetic environment. The structure of a common-mode inductor generally consists of a frame, coil, sheath, packaging material, and a magnetic core or iron core.

[0003] In existing technologies, the components of common-mode inductors are mainly fixed and connected by dispensing adhesive, which is relatively cumbersome in processing and installation. Dispensing adhesive also introduces many instabilities and significantly affects the reliability of the finished common-mode inductor. Furthermore, the dispensing process requires subsequent baking, which increases costs. Therefore, it is urgent to solve these problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, the present invention achieves the above objectives through the following technical solution: a snap-fit ​​common-mode inductor, comprising a magnetic core, a frame, and a winding, wherein the frame comprises a sheath and a support, the sheath comprises an annular cylinder and a cover plate, the cover plate being used to cover the port of the annular cylinder to form an annular cavity for accommodating the magnetic core; a partition plate is snapped into the inner hole of the annular cylinder to divide the annular cylinder into a first winding portion and a second winding portion, and the winding comprises a first coil wound on the first winding portion and a second coil wound on the second winding portion; The bracket has a mounting plate at its bottom and two limiting posts at its top. The two limiting posts are parallel and spaced apart and extend vertically. The sheath is snapped between the two limiting posts. The mounting plate has several wire hanging slots on its side. The wire ends of the first coil and the second coil are snapped into the wire hanging slots one by one.

[0005] Furthermore, the inner wall of the annular cylinder is provided with two slots, which are symmetrically arranged relative to the axis of the annular cylinder; the top and bottom of the partition plate are respectively engaged in the slots. This allows the partition plate to be engaged in the inner hole of the annular cylinder, making installation convenient.

[0006] Furthermore, each end of the partition has a protruding locking block, and the limiting post has a locking hole for the locking blocks to engage. This ensures that all four sides of the partition are connected, guaranteeing a secure connection.

[0007] Furthermore, guide grooves are respectively formed on the opposite sidewalls of the two limiting posts, and the guide grooves are connected to the locking holes. The guide grooves facilitate the locking block's insertion into the locking holes, making installation easier.

[0008] Furthermore, the edges of the card block are chamfered or rounded. This facilitates the card block's insertion into the card hole and makes installation easier.

[0009] Furthermore, the mounting plate is provided with a limiting groove, which is located between the two limiting posts; the side wall of the annular cylinder is provided with a positioning block, which is engaged in the limiting groove. This ensures that the annular cylinder is installed in the correct position, facilitates installation, and makes the connection more secure.

[0010] Furthermore, there are two positioning blocks, which are symmetrically arranged with respect to the axis of the annular cylinder.

[0011] Furthermore, the guide groove extends vertically, and the limiting groove extends horizontally.

[0012] Furthermore, the magnetic core is made of nanocrystalline material.

[0013] Furthermore, the hanging slot is shaped like a "7". This effectively restricts the wire end, ensuring it is securely fastened to the mounting plate.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: by snapping the partition plate into the inner hole of the annular cylinder, snapping the sheath between the two limiting posts, and snapping the coil wire ends one by one into the hanging slot, the connection of each component is a snap-fit ​​type, eliminating the need for glue application for connection and fixation. This makes processing and installation relatively convenient and quick. Simply snapping the corresponding components together achieves the connection, simplifying the assembly process, reducing labor costs and time, and thus effectively solving the technical problems in this field. Moreover, the structure is relatively simple, simplifying redundant structures and saving glue application and baking costs, effectively reducing costs. It also avoids the instability factors present in glue application methods, improving the reliability of the common mode inductor product. Overall, the present invention has the advantages of simple structure, convenient installation, and high reliability, effectively reducing costs and making the connection more reliable and convenient.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a snap-fit ​​common mode inductor includes a magnetic core 1, a frame, and windings. The frame includes a sheath 2 and a support 3. The sheath 2 includes an annular cylinder 21 and a cover plate 22. The cover plate 22 is used to cover the port of the annular cylinder 21 to form an annular cavity 23 for accommodating the magnetic core 1. A partition 4 is snapped into the inner hole of the annular cylinder 21 to divide the annular cylinder 21 into a first winding section 211 and a second winding section 212. The windings include a first coil 5 wound on the first winding section 211 and a second coil 6 wound on the second winding section 212. The bracket 3 has a mounting plate 31 at its bottom and two limiting posts 32 at its top. The two limiting posts 32 are parallel and spaced apart, extending vertically. The sheath 2 is snapped between the two limiting posts 32. The mounting plate 31 has several wire hanging slots 33 on its side, and the wire ends of the first coil 5 and the second coil 6 are snapped into the wire hanging slots 33 one by one. Preferably, the cross-section of the first coil 5 and the second coil 6 is circular, and the winding process can be semi-automated, compatible with round wires of different specifications, and can be wound with single or multiple wires in parallel, increasing the heat dissipation area and meeting the requirements of high current operation. The two limiting posts 32 not only provide additional support and fixation for the partition 4, but also constitute a frame structure on the mounting plate 31, providing a positioning reference for the subsequent installation of the annular cylinder.

[0021] The inner wall of the annular cylinder 21 has two protruding slots 213, which are symmetrically arranged relative to the axis of the annular cylinder 21. The top and bottom of the partition plate 4 are respectively engaged in the slots 213. Specifically, the annular cylinder 21, as the main structure, provides a precise positioning reference for the partition plate 4 through the slots 213, achieving the first layer of fixation of the partition plate 4 inside the annular cylinder 21. The top and bottom of the partition plate 4 are simultaneously engaged in the slots, forming a bidirectional engagement, which not only effectively prevents the partition plate 4 from shaking and displacing inside the annular cylinder 21, but also restricts its rotational freedom. The symmetrical arrangement of the slots 213 ensures the balanced installation of the partition plate 4 at the center position of the annular cylinder 21, which helps to evenly distribute stress, simplifies the assembly process, avoids installation difficulties caused by incorrect orientation, and also achieves the equal distribution of the first winding part 211 and the second winding part 212 by the partition plate 4. It can provide sufficient fixing force to ensure that the partition 4 can maintain its preset position in the working state, thus ensuring the stability of electrical performance.

[0022] Both ends of the partition 4 are provided with protruding locking blocks 41, and the limiting posts 32 are provided with locking holes 321 for the locking blocks 41 to engage. The opposite sidewalls of the two limiting posts 32 are provided with guide grooves 322, which connect to the locking holes 321. The edges of the locking blocks 41 are chamfered or rounded; the edges of the locking grooves 213 are also chamfered or rounded. Specifically, the engagement of the locking holes 321 and the locking blocks 41 effectively enhances the lateral stability of the partition 4 and tightly connects it to the limiting posts 32, achieving a second layer of fixation for the partition 4. During actual installation and snap-fitting, the chamfered or rounded corners reduce frictional resistance during assembly, allowing the snap-fit ​​block 41 to smoothly enter the guide groove 322 and the snap-fit ​​hole 41. Simply slide the snap-fit ​​block 41 to the position aligned with the snap-fit ​​hole 321, and a slight push causes the limiting post 32 to elastically deform, allowing the snap-fit ​​block 41 to precisely engage in the snap-fit ​​hole 321, effectively preventing jamming. Furthermore, the guide groove 322 greatly simplifies the alignment process of the snap-fit ​​block 41, reducing the difficulty and time of manual operation and improving assembly efficiency. It also ensures that the snap-fit ​​block 41 can only enter along a preset path, avoiding assembly failure or component damage due to incorrect angle or positional deviation. It also prevents wear or deformation of the edges of the snap-fit ​​block 41 or the snap-fit ​​hole 321 during forced assembly, thus providing some protection for the components.

[0023] The mounting plate 31 is provided with a limiting groove 34, which is located between two limiting posts 32. A positioning block 214 protrudes from the side wall of the annular cylinder 21 and engages within the limiting groove 34. Two positioning blocks 214 are provided, symmetrically arranged relative to the axis of the annular cylinder 21. A guide groove 322 extends vertically, and the limiting groove 34 extends horizontally. Specifically, the mounting plate 31 serves as the base or integrated platform for the entire common-mode inductor. Through the cooperation of the limiting groove 34 and the positioning blocks 214, precise connection of the annular cylinder 21 can be achieved. The two positioning blocks 214 ensure the balance and stability of the connection between the annular cylinder 21 and the mounting plate 31, allowing the annular cylinder 21 to be installed in either direction relative to the mounting plate 31, making installation convenient and quick.

[0024] The magnetic core 1 is made of nanocrystalline material. Nanocrystalline material is an advanced soft magnetic material with extremely high permeability, saturation magnetic induction intensity and extremely low loss, especially performing well in high-frequency applications, significantly improving the performance, efficiency and miniaturization potential of common-mode inductors.

[0025] The hanging slot 33 is shaped like a "7". This effectively locks or restricts the movement of the wire end after it enters the hanging slot 33, preventing it from being easily pulled out or accidentally falling off due to vibration or gravity. The wire end needs to be moved along the opening direction of the hanging slot 33 to be removed, which greatly enhances the reliability of the wire connection.

[0026] Preferably, both the end face of the annular cylinder 21 and the end face of the cover plate 22 are provided with protruding blocks 24. The blocks 24 and the partition plate 4 are arranged on the same plane to increase the area of ​​the partition plate 4 and ensure the partitioning effect, which can meet the withstand voltage of the winding above 2000V. The cover plate 22 is annular, and the annular cylinder 21 and the cover plate 22 are fixed by an interference fit. A threaded structure or a snap-fit ​​structure can also be used. The protruding blocks 24 on the cover plate 22 can also facilitate manual gripping and facilitate the installation of the cover plate 22.

[0027] In actual installation, first place the magnetic core 1 inside the annular cavity 23, then cover the annular cylinder 21 with the cover plate 22 to make the annular cavity 23 relatively closed. Next, wind the winding on the annular cylinder 21, and insert the partition 4 along the slot 213 to separate the first coil 5 and the second coil 6 into the first winding part 211 and the second winding part 212. Finally, insert the sheath 2 and the partition 4 into the bracket 3, and insert the locking block 41 into the locking hole 321. The positioning block 214 at the lower end is inserted into the limiting groove 34. At the same time, tidy up the wire ends and insert them into the hanging slots 33 to complete the installation of the entire common mode inductor without the need for glue application or baking.

[0028] In summary, the technical solution of this invention can fully and effectively achieve the above-mentioned objectives. Furthermore, the structure and functional principles of this invention have been fully verified in the embodiments, achieving the expected effects and objectives. Without departing from the principles and essence of this invention, various changes or modifications can be made to the embodiments. Therefore, this invention includes all substitutions within the scope mentioned in the patent application claims, and any equivalent changes made within the scope of this patent application are within the scope of the patent application.
