Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of transformers, inductors and mutual inductance devices, and in particular to an integrated magnetic device. Background Art
[0002] The statements in this section merely provide background technical information related to the present invention and do not necessarily constitute prior art.
[0003] In everyday electronic circuits, a resonant circuit is one that consumes very little energy at a specific frequency while simultaneously achieving maximum voltage and current. Resonant inductors are a common component in circuits. They are designed and manufactured using the property of inductive impedance, which exhibits pure electrical impedance at resonance. They are primarily used to adjust the resonant frequency of a circuit and balance the current and voltage within the resonant circuit. Resonant inductors are widely used in circuits such as AC voltage regulators, bandpass filters, and RF preamplifiers, and are indispensable components in wireless communication circuits. The function of a current transformer is to convert a larger primary current into a smaller secondary current using a certain transformation ratio, which is then used for protection, measurement, and other purposes.
[0004] In existing electronic circuit designs, transformers, resonant inductors, and current transformers are widely used as independent components. In traditional circuit designs, these components are usually set up independently, leading to the following problems:
[0005] Large space occupation: Since these components exist independently, the space utilization efficiency of the entire circuit board is low, especially in occasions with strict requirements on device volume, such as portable devices and power modules, the restrictions on space design are more obvious.
[0006] High number of components: Each function is implemented by a separate component, which increases the number of components in the circuit design and increases the complexity of production and assembly.
[0007] Reduced overall reliability: The increase in the number of components increases circuit complexity, which may increase the probability of failure and reduce overall reliability. Utility Model Content
[0008] In order to solve the above problems, the utility model proposes an integrated magnetic device, which integrates a transformer, a resonant inductor and a current transformer, adopts a flat design, and minimizes the volume of the integrated transformer, resonant inductor and current transformer device, thereby solving the problems of large volume, complex design and low reliability when traditional circuits use multiple magnetic devices.
[0009] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:
[0010] One or more embodiments provide an integrated magnetic device, comprising a plurality of stacked magnetic cores and coils disposed on the magnetic cores, wherein the coils include a resonant inductor coil and a transformer coil;
[0011] Each magnetic core has a clearance space that matches the coil, and a core center column is provided at the center of the clearance space. When multiple magnetic cores are stacked, the core centers of all magnetic cores are in the same straight line, and adjacent magnetic cores contact each other to form a closed magnetic circuit.
[0012] A coil is arranged in the clearance space, and the coil is wound on the same plane with the same center to form a flattened winding structure.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0014] The coils of the present invention are wound around the same level, which can reduce the coil height. The coils are stacked and assembled, thereby reducing the overall height of the product, which is conducive to the miniaturization of the device. The structure is also convenient and quick to assemble, which can greatly improve production efficiency. The coil winding method of this embodiment can form a flat structure, and the wound coils form concentric rings. The inductor coils using a flattened winding structure can greatly reduce the volume of the integrated inductor device, improve space utilization, and achieve a compact design; enhance the heat dissipation performance of the device. At the same time, winding the coils around the same level can reduce the parasitic capacitance between the coils, reducing losses in high-frequency applications, thereby improving the working efficiency and frequency response characteristics of the inductor.
[0015] The advantages of the present invention and additional advantages will be described in detail in the following specific embodiments. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

When the plurality of magnetic cores 1 are stacked, the magnetic core center columns 1-2 of all the magnetic cores 1 are aligned in a straight line, and adjacent magnetic cores 1 contact each other to form a closed magnetic circuit. Coils are disposed in the clearance spaces 1-1 of the stacked magnetic cores 1, and the coils are wound in the same plane and around the same center to form a flattened winding structure. The coils in the clearance spaces 1-1 include a resonant inductor coil and a transformer coil, and a current transformer is disposed at the coil output end.
[0035] The coils in this embodiment are wound around the same level, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the coil height can be reduced and the coils can be stacked and assembled, which is beneficial to the miniaturization of the device. The structure assembly is convenient and quick, which can greatly improve the production efficiency.
[0036] The coil winding method of this embodiment can form a flattened structure, with the wound coils forming concentric rings. Using a coil with a flattened winding structure can significantly reduce the size of the integrated device, improve space utilization, and achieve a compact design.
