[0024] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0025] In order to solve the technical problems in the prior art that the charging pile transformer is large in size, low in performance and installation efficiency, the present application provides a transformer.

[0026] See also Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5In a possible implementation, the transformer includes: a shell 2, a primary winding 7, a secondary winding 6 and a magnetic core 3, wherein the primary winding 7, the secondary winding 6 and the magnetic core 3 are installed in the shell 2; the incoming line terminal 5 of the primary winding 7 and the outgoing line terminal 1 of the secondary winding 6 are installed in the outgoing line insulating column 14 on the shell 2; wherein the primary winding 7 and the secondary winding 6 are wound around the inner and outer layers of the same magnetic core 3, the primary winding 7 and the secondary winding 6 are filled with insulating material, and the primary winding 7 and the secondary winding 6 are wrapped in an insulating material structure 4; the magnetic core 3 is connected to the shell 2 through a mounting frame 11, the mounting frame 11 is connected to the magnetic core 3 and the shell 2 through bolts 13, and the shell 2 and the magnetic core 3 are filled with insulating material; two insulating columns 14 are arranged on the shell 2, and the incoming line terminal 5 and the outgoing line terminal 1 are respectively arranged in the two insulating columns 14.

[0027] In the above scheme, electromagnetic compatibility and safety are taken into consideration in the structural design of the transformer. The high efficiency and long-term stable operation of the transformer are ensured through the precise layout of the internal components, the winding method of the primary winding and the secondary winding, the connection method of the magnetic core and the shell, and the application of insulating materials. In this embodiment, the magnetic core and the shell are connected by a mounting frame, which not only enhances the stability of the structure, but also is fixed by bolts, making the overall structure more solid and easy to maintain and overhaul. The two insulating column designs on the shell effectively isolate the incoming and outgoing terminals, further improving the safety during use.

[0028] See also Figure 2 , electrical connection diagram of the transformer, the incoming terminal 5 on the primary winding 7 side serves as the voltage input terminal of the transformer, and the outgoing terminal 1 on the secondary winding 6 side serves as the voltage output terminal of the transformer. The voltage is input at the incoming terminal 5, and the voltage value required by the design is output at the outgoing terminal 1 through mutual inductance.

[0029] In a possible implementation manner, the primary winding 7 and the secondary winding 6 are respectively wound crosswise, and the second layer of coils is wound on the first layer of coils after the first layer of coils are wound, and the input end and the output end of the coils are on the same side.

[0030] In the above scheme, the cross-winding winding method not only improves the uniformity of the transformer's magnetic field and reduces energy loss, but also optimizes the space utilization of the transformer. This design enables the transformer to be more efficient when transmitting electrical energy and the heat distribution is more uniform, thereby extending the service life of the transformer. By setting the input and output ends of the coil on the same side, the wiring of the transformer is simplified, making it easier to install and maintain.

[0031] In a possible implementation, the material of the magnetic core 3 is an amorphous nanocrystalline alloy.

[0032] In the above scheme, amorphous nanocrystalline alloy is used as the core material, which has excellent magnetic properties and low loss. The use of this material significantly improves the efficiency of the transformer and reduces energy consumption. Amorphous nanocrystalline alloy has high saturation magnetic induction intensity and good anti-magnetic saturation ability, so that the transformer can still maintain stable performance under high load and is suitable for use in a variety of working environments.

[0033] In a possible implementation, the primary winding 7 and the secondary winding 6 are made of Litz wire.

[0034] In the above scheme, the use of Litz wire further improves the electrical performance of the transformer. Due to its unique structure, Litz wire can effectively reduce the skin effect and proximity effect, thereby reducing the resistance loss at high frequency. This makes the transformer perform better in high-frequency applications, with better transmission efficiency and lower heat loss. The application of Litz wire, together with the aforementioned amorphous nanocrystalline alloy core, constitutes a high-efficiency, low-loss transformer design.

[0035] In a possible implementation, the housing 2 is an aluminum alloy housing.

[0036] In the above scheme, aluminum alloy is selected as the shell, not only because of its good thermal conductivity, which helps to quickly dissipate the heat inside the transformer, but also because aluminum alloy has a light weight, which is convenient for the transportation and installation of the transformer. In addition, the aluminum alloy shell also has strong corrosion resistance and mechanical strength, which can protect the internal components of the transformer under various environmental conditions and extend the service life of the transformer.

[0037] In a possible implementation manner, the insulating material structure 4 is made of epoxy resin.

[0038] In the above scheme, epoxy resin is selected as the insulating material structure 4, which provides excellent electrical insulation performance and chemical stability. Epoxy resin can not only effectively isolate electrical components and prevent electrical failures, but also has good bonding properties, which can enhance the integrity and sealing of the internal structure of the transformer. In addition, the application of epoxy resin also helps to prevent moisture and dust, further improving the reliability and durability of the transformer.

[0039] In a possible implementation manner, the magnetic core 3 outside the portion wrapped by the insulating material structure 4 is wrapped by a stainless steel shell 10 ; the mounting frame 11 is connected to the stainless steel shell 10 by bolts 13 .

[0040] In the above scheme, the stainless steel shell design outside the magnetic core not only provides additional mechanical protection and ensures the stable operation of the transformer in harsh environments, but the selection of stainless steel materials further enhances the corrosion resistance and durability of the transformer. The connection method of bolts and mounting brackets makes the installation and maintenance of the transformer more convenient, improving the maintainability and reliability of the transformer.

[0041] In a possible implementation, the housing 2 further includes a detachable cover plate 9, an insulating column 14 is mounted on the cover plate 9, two insulating holes are provided in the insulating column 14, and two lead wires of the outlet terminal 1 or the inlet terminal 5 pass through the two insulating holes.

[0042] In the above scheme, the design of the detachable cover provides great convenience for the inspection and maintenance of the transformer; by setting insulating holes on the insulating columns and allowing the lead wires to pass through, it not only optimizes the layout of the wires and reduces the interference between the wires, but also enhances the safety of the transformer. This design takes into account the convenience and practicality of the transformer during use, so that the transformer can provide stable and reliable performance in different application environments.

[0043] The transformer of the embodiment of the present application can be used in an electric vehicle charging pile. The high-frequency transformer achieves an efficient and compact design by optimizing the magnetic core material, coil structure and cooling method.

[0044] The high-frequency transformer for charging piles of the above scheme includes a primary winding and a secondary winding, as well as a magnetic core and an aluminum alloy shell, and a structure of an outlet insulating column is provided on the outside of the shell; wherein the main material of the winding is Litz wire, which is wound in a cross-winding manner, and the magnetic core structure is made of amorphous nanocrystalline alloy, which has good high-frequency response characteristics and low magnetic loss, thereby improving the working efficiency of the transformer; the primary winding and the secondary winding are wound on one side of the magnetic core in a cross-winding manner with two wires in parallel, and are electrically isolated by insulating materials, thereby improving the power density and product safety of the product; the structural design of the transformer is optimized, the volume and weight are reduced, and installation and use are convenient; at the same time, the wire package wound on the magnetic core is fixed on the aluminum alloy shell and cast together with epoxy resin, thereby strengthening the mechanical structure performance of the product, and facilitating the stable operation and heat dissipation of the product; wherein the amorphous nanocrystalline iron core is wrapped in a stainless steel shell, and a detachable fixing part, i.e., a mounting frame, is added to the outside of the shell, which is conducive to fixing the iron core in the aluminum alloy shell, reducing the influence of uncertain factors on the fixing of the iron core wire package and the shell, and helping to improve the assembly efficiency of the product.

[0045] The magnetic core structure of the present application greatly improves the efficiency of the transformer at high frequencies, reduces energy waste, and also improves the safety of charging; the design of electrical isolation and epoxy resin casting effectively prevents the risk of electric shock to users and improves the safety of the product.
