Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of magnetic core components, in particular to a PFC inductor structure. Background Technique

[0002] In current power supplies, a phase difference between current and voltage will form harmonic current, and due to the existence of harmonic current, the total power consumption, that is, the apparent power, is much higher than the effective power; thus causing a loss of exchange power, and further resulting in a large waste of electric energy. Therefore, in order to suppress harmonics, a power factor corrector, that is, a PFC inductor, is required in power supply design to improve the power factor of the circuit. The power factor refers to the ratio of the effective power to the total power consumption.

[0003] Traditional PFC inductors mainly include a magnetic core stacked by cold-rolled silicon steel sheets. The magnetic core is of UU type, and leads are led out after windings are wound around the magnetic core. The rated current, as a main parameter of the inductor, refers to the maximum current value that the inductor can withstand under the allowed working environment. In current practical applications, some high-power circuits have relatively high requirements for the rated current of the inductor; therefore, large-current special inductors have emerged. At present, PFC circuit inductors are mainly wound by the method of "O"-type iron-silicon-aluminum magnetic core + enameled wire winding, and its defect is that it is easy to generate large battery interference in high-power circuits.

[0004] Based on this, Chinese Patent CN109036782A discloses a PFC circuit inductor, which includes a bracket, a wound coil, iron-silicon-aluminum sheets, a magnetic core and a packaging cover. The bracket includes a cylinder and a square support plate fixedly installed at the bottom of the cylinder. A wound coil with a multi-layer and multi-turn stacked winding structure is wound on the cylinder. Two leads of the wound coil are respectively arranged on the left and right symmetric sides of the square support plate. The magnetic core includes a cylindrical magnetic core protrusion and an insulating base, and the insulating base is fixedly connected to the PCB board. The iron-silicon-aluminum sheets are arranged on the top of the magnetic core protrusion, and both the iron-silicon-aluminum sheets and the magnetic core protrusion are inserted into the cylinder inside the wound coil. The packaging cover is arranged outside the wound coil and is clamped on the insulating base to protect the wound coil and the magnetic core. This solution plays an effective isolation role by setting the packaging cover, can minimize the exposed coils to the greatest extent, and can minimize the interference of the magnetic flux generated in the coils to the outside, thus avoiding interference to peripheral devices.

[0005] However, the above-disclosed PFC circuit inductor still has the technical problem of low efficiency under no-load or light-load conditions. Specifically, the saturation superposition effect of the existing PFC circuit inductor is not good, which affects the upper limit of the inductor's use, thus affecting the inductance provided by the inductor under no-load or light-load conditions, and further affecting its light-load power; moreover, there is also the defect of being not easy to install and fix.

[0006] ​Summary of the Invention

[0007] Based on this, in view of the technical problem of how to improve the efficiency of the inductor under load or light load, it is necessary to provide a PFC inductor structure.

[0008] A PFC inductor structure includes: a bearing part, a magnetic core, a winding skeleton, a winding, a connecting piece, and pins; two magnetic cores are respectively arranged at both ends above the bearing part, and the two magnetic cores are connected in a relatively fitting manner. Two winding skeletons are arranged in parallel and movably sleeved between the two magnetic cores, and one winding is arranged on each winding skeleton. The ends of the two windings on the same side are limited on the winding skeleton by the connecting piece, and the two connecting pieces are respectively arranged oppositely to enclose the two windings on the two corresponding winding skeletons. A plurality of pins are evenly arranged below the connecting piece, and each pin is connected to the connecting piece and the pin.

[0009] Further, the bearing part is provided with a plate body, a right-angle guiding part, and jacks.

[0010] Furthermore, a right-angle guiding part is arranged at each of the four corners of the plate body.

[0011] Furthermore, a magnetic core is limited and connected between the two right-angle guiding parts on the same side of the plate body.

[0012] Furthermore, a plurality of jacks are evenly arranged in the plate body, and each jack is correspondingly connected to a pin in a matching manner.

[0013] Furthermore, the magnetic core has a T-shaped part and a connecting part.

[0014] Furthermore, the ends of the two T-shaped parts are connected by the connecting part.

[0015] Furthermore, the two oppositely arranged T-shaped parts are paired and connected to form an I-shaped structure.

[0016] Furthermore, a winding skeleton is sleeved between every two relatively connected T-shaped parts.

[0017] Furthermore, a connecting piece is connected between every two juxtaposed T-shaped parts.

Therefore, a PFC inductor structure of the present utility model solves the technical problem of how to improve the no-load or light-load efficiency of the inductor.
