Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of soft magnetic material manufacturing technology, specifically relating to a method for preparing a new energy iron core based on amorphous alloy materials. Background Technology

[0002] Amorphous alloys are widely used in high-efficiency and energy-saving power equipment due to their excellent soft magnetic properties, such as high permeability, low iron loss, and high saturation magnetic induction. However, amorphous alloy strips are extremely thin (typically 20–30 μm), hard, and brittle, making them prone to microcracks, residual stress, and interlayer dislocations during traditional core winding processes. This leads to significant deterioration of magnetic properties, especially a sharp increase in eddy current losses under high-frequency (>1 kHz) operating conditions. Furthermore, existing winding processes often employ constant tension control, which is ill-suited to the uneven stress distribution caused by curvature changes during winding of amorphous strips. This results in compression of the inner ring and stretching of the outer ring, further worsening the uniformity of magnetic properties. In new energy applications, the requirements for high-frequency, low-loss, high-stability, and miniaturized cores are even more stringent, necessitating the development of a novel winding process to improve the overall performance and reliability of amorphous alloy cores. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for preparing a new energy core based on amorphous alloy materials. By optimizing the winding tension control strategy, introducing a stress buffer layer and a precise positioning structure, the mechanical stress and micro-damage during the winding process are effectively suppressed, and the magnetic performance stability and energy efficiency of the core under high-frequency operating conditions are significantly improved.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for preparing a new energy core based on an amorphous alloy material, comprising the following steps: A pre-defined gradient tension curve is used to alternately wind amorphous alloy strip and a flexible polymer film, while simultaneously performing laser positioning to achieve interlayer alignment control and form an internal stress buffer layer. An amorphous alloy strip is wound onto an internal stress buffer layer using a set gradient tension curve to form the main magnetic circuit functional layer. An outer protective layer is fabricated on the outer surface of the main magnetic circuit functional layer to obtain the formed iron core. The formed iron core is annealed to obtain a new energy iron core.

[0005] Preferably, the amorphous alloy strip and the flexible polymer film are alternately wound using a predetermined gradient tension curve. Specifically, the method is as follows: The tension applied to the amorphous alloy strip decreases monotonically from the starting radius to the target radius.

[0006] Preferably, the tension value satisfies the following formula:

[0007] in, Let r be the winding tension at a radius r from the center of the iron core; The initial tension; The inner diameter of the iron core; This is the attenuation coefficient.

[0008] Preferably, the flexible polymer film is a polyimide, polyetheretherketone, or a liquid crystal polymer.

[0009] Preferably, the thickness of the flexible polymer film is 10 μm–25 μm.

[0010] Preferably, the process parameters for annealing are: Annealing was carried out under an inert atmosphere at a temperature of 320℃–380℃ for 1–2 hours.

[0011] Preferably, the outer protective layer is formed by impregnation and curing with a high-temperature resistant insulating resin.

[0012] Secondly, the present invention provides a new energy iron core based on amorphous alloy material, wherein the new energy iron core is prepared based on the preparation method described above.

[0013] Preferably, the new energy core comprises, from the inside out, an internal stress buffer layer, a main magnetic circuit functional layer, and an outer protective layer, wherein: The internal stress buffer layer is composed of alternating layers of flexible polymer film and amorphous ribbon; The main magnetic circuit functional layer is composed of stacked amorphous ribbon.

[0014] Preferably, the outer protective layer is formed by impregnation and curing with a high-temperature resistant insulating resin.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: This invention provides a method for preparing a new energy core based on amorphous alloy materials. By alternately winding amorphous alloy strip and a flexible polymer film using a predetermined gradient tension curve, and simultaneously implementing laser positioning to control interlayer alignment, combined with the fabrication of an outer protective layer and subsequent annealing, the method synergistically achieves internal stress buffering, uniform interlayer stress distribution, and improved magnetic circuit continuity. This effectively suppresses mechanical stress and microscopic damage during the winding process, significantly improving the magnetic performance stability and energy efficiency of the core under high-frequency operating conditions. It is particularly suitable for new energy equipment fields with stringent requirements for high-frequency, low-loss, and high-power-density operation. Specifically: The flexible polymer film effectively relieves the compressive stress in the inner ring and avoids brittle fracture of the amorphous ribbon. Gradient variable tension winding makes the stress distribution of each layer of the iron core uniform, which significantly reduces hysteresis loss and eddy current loss (measured at 10 kHz, iron loss is reduced by 18–25%). High-precision interlayer alignment improves magnetic circuit continuity and reduces local eddy current hotspots. Detailed Implementation
