Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of audio transformers, in particular to a stable audio transformer. Background Art

[0002] Audio transformers are miniature transformers used in audio circuits. Their main structure consists of a magnetic core, a primary coil, and a secondary coil. The primary and secondary coils are wound around the core and tightly coupled to form a winding. The main function of an audio transformer is to balance audio signals and boost or buck the voltage of audio circuits.

[0003] Audio circuits include audio transformers and a variety of other electronic components. Both the components and the audio transformer are soldered to the PCB. Several issues arise during the soldering process. The first is the orientation of the audio transformer during assembly. The second is ensuring full contact between the audio transformer and the PCB before soldering pin 04 to the PCB. The soldering between pin 04 and the PCB ensures the transformer's stability. To address the first issue, a common solution is to incorporate orientation markings on the audio transformer housing during production. This allows operators or mechanical devices to determine the correct installation orientation. However, both manual and mechanical methods can lead to misidentification. To address the second issue, a common solution involves applying pressure to the transformer housing during soldering, maintaining this pressure until all pins are soldered. Since the audio transformer's PCB is connected solely to the pins, applying external force to the transformer can cause the pins to loosen from the PCB. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a stable audio transformer to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0020] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0021] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the present invention's stable audio transformer comprises a metal housing 01 and a cover 02 mounted on housing 01. Housing 01 includes a mounting chamber for mounting a frame 03, with cover 02 positioned at the opening of the chamber. Frame 03 is provided with pins 04, one end of which passes through cover 02 and is soldered to an external PCB, securing the audio transformer to the PCB. Frame 03 is integrally formed with connecting blocks 05 and positioning posts 06 of varying cross-sectional shapes. These blocks 05 and posts 06 are diagonally positioned on frame 03, adjacent to pins 04, and extend through cover 02 to the exterior of housing 01.

[0022] When the audio transformer is connected to the PCB, a through-hole is provided on the PCB that mates with a connecting block 05 and a positioning post 06. The cross-sectional shapes of the connecting block 05 and the positioning post 06 are different. For example, the cross-sectional shape of the connecting block 05 is a quadrilateral, triangle, or other polygon, while the cross-sectional shape of the positioning post 06 is circular. The coordination between the connecting block 05 and the positioning post 06 ensures that the audio transformer maintains a unique orientation when installed on the PCB. If the audio transformer's installation orientation changes, the audio transformer cannot be installed on the PCB, thus preventing the audio transformer from being installed in the wrong orientation during installation.

[0023] After connecting block 05 and positioning pin 06 are inserted into the through-holes on the PCB, the ends of connecting block 05 and positioning pin 06 are melted by heat to form anchor points. The anchor points and the audio transformer housing are located on either side of the PCB. This secures the audio transformer to the PCB. Pin 04 is then soldered to the PCB. The anchor points provide two fixed points between the audio transformer and the PCB. When the audio transformer is subjected to external forces, pin 04 may become loose from the PCB. Because connecting block 05 and positioning pin 06 are positioned diagonally, two diagonally arranged anchor points are formed.

[0024] If the connecting block 05 and the positioning post 06 are set on the same side of the skeleton 03, or only the connecting block 05 or the positioning post 06 is set on the skeleton 03, when the connecting block 05 and the positioning post 06 are both inserted into the through holes on the PCB, and the ends of the connecting block 05 and the positioning post 06 are melted by hot melting to form anchor points, a gap will appear between the audio transformer and the PCB board, and the gap is located on the opposite side of the connecting block 05 and the positioning post 06.

[0025] At least one connection block 05 is provided on the skeleton 03 . In the present invention, three connection blocks 05 are provided on the component. The three connection blocks 05 and a positioning column 06 are respectively provided on the four corners of the skeleton 03 .

[0026] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the skeleton 03 includes a winding column 07 for winding the coil, and the first baffle and the second baffle 08 are integrally formed at both ends of the winding column 07. A winding groove 09 for fixing the coil is provided between the first baffle and the second baffle 08. The pins 04 are inserted into the first baffle, and the connecting block 05 and the positioning column 06 are integrally formed with the first baffle.

[0027] The first baffle is composed of two pin seats 10 of the same structure, with a gap 11 provided between the two pin seats 10. A through hole 12 for inserting the iron core is provided along the axial direction of the winding column 07, and the through hole 12 is connected to the gap 11.

[0028] Several steps 13 are arranged on the side of the pin base 10. The steps 13 are recessed into the pin base 10 or extend outward from the pin base 10. A through hole 12 is provided on the step 13. The axis of the through hole 12 is parallel to the axis of the through hole 12. The cross-sectional shape of the through hole 12 is circular or polygonal. The cross-sectional shape of the through hole 12 is preferably polygonal, such as triangular or quadrilateral, and the axis of the through hole 12 is parallel to the axis of the through hole 12. An L-shaped pin 04 is inserted into the through hole 12.

[0029] Pin 04 includes a limiting rod 14 and a connecting rod 15 formed by bending. The cross-sectional shape of the connecting rod 15 is the same as the cross-sectional shape of the insertion hole 12. The cross-sectional shapes of the insertion hole 12 and the connecting rod 15 are both polygonal designs to prevent pin 04 from rotating in the insertion hole 12. The connecting rod 15 is inserted into the insertion hole 12 and passes through the mounting hole 16 of the cover body 02 to connect with the external electronic components, while the limiting rod 14 abuts the surface of the step 13 and is fixedly connected to the coil on the winding column 07 by welding. Pin 04 is designed to be L-shaped. When a pulling force is applied to the connecting rod 15, the limiting rod 14 abuts the surface of the step 13. This prevents pin 04 from falling off the pin holder 10. The stability between pin 04 and the pin holder 10 is guaranteed.

[0030] like Figure 4 As shown, the cover body 02 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes 16 for the pins 04 to pass through and transition holes 17 respectively adapted to the connecting block 05 and the positioning column 06 , and a glue injection hole 18 is also provided on one side of the mounting hole 16 .

[0031] During assembly, the coil is first wound around the winding post 07. Pins 04 are then inserted into the various steps 13 as needed. The coil and pins 04 are securely connected by welding. This completes the fabrication of the skeleton 03. The skeleton 03 is then placed in the mounting chamber within the housing 01, and the cover is pressed into the housing 01. Pins 04 on the pin holder 10 are extended outside the housing 01 through the mounting holes 16 on the cover 02, facilitating connection between the pins 04 and external electronic components. Finally, epoxy resin is injected into the mounting chamber through the injection holes 18, filling the gaps between the skeleton 03 and the mounting chamber, as well as between the pins 04 and the insertion holes 12 on the steps 13. This enhances the overall mechanical strength of the audio transformer and increases its durability. The epoxy resin seals the internal components of the transformer, preventing the ingress of dust and moisture, thereby increasing the transformer's service life. Furthermore, epoxy resin filling the mounting chamber reduces noise in the transformer.

[0032] If the embodiments of the present invention involve directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), such directional indications are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the various components under a specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indications will also change accordingly.

[0033] The above embodiments are merely descriptions of preferred embodiments of the present invention and do not limit the scope of the present invention. Without departing from the design spirit of the present invention, various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present invention by ordinary engineering technicians in this field should fall within the scope of protection determined by the claims of the present invention.
