Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of transformers, and particularly relates to a planar transformer. Background Art

[0002] Compared with a conventional transformer, the core size of a planar transformer is greatly reduced, especially the height is reduced a lot. This application feature has obvious advantages in occasions where the space in power equipment (such as a charger) is strictly limited, so it can become the preferred magnetic component in many power equipment.

[0003] At present, the traditional planar transformer is a combined structure of a single circuit board and a core. The single circuit board is a multi-layer structure. When the input voltage is very high, for example, when the input is an AC power supply, there are more primary windings in the transformer, and more circuit board layers are required. Then the process of the circuit board is complicated, resulting in an overly long production cycle of the traditional planar transformer. Moreover, the more layers the circuit board has, the higher the process and the lower the error tolerance, so the production cost of the traditional planar transformer is increased. When the traditional planar transformer needs to change the interlayer capacitance size or the number of winding turns of the circuit board, the design of the circuit board must be adjusted, but the time for re-design is long and time-consuming. In other words, a new circuit board needs to be used. However, due to the overly long production cycle of the multi-layer circuit board used in the traditional planar transformer, the traditional planar transformer must spend too much time waiting for the new circuit board in production, which also results in very low adjustability of the traditional planar transformer.

[0004] Moreover, for the traditional planar transformer, when there are safety rule standards and EMI requirements, to meet the creepage distance requirement, the distance between the winding pins and the core must be lengthened, resulting in an increase in the overall length of the transformer, which is not conducive to the miniaturization of the transformer; to meet the EMI requirement of the transformer, the coils of the transformer should not be exposed as much as possible.
