Thus, a feature specified as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features.

[0041] In the following description, suffixes such as "module", "component", "assembly" or "unit" are used only to facilitate the description of the present invention and have no specific meaning. Therefore, they can be used interchangeably.

[0042] The present invention will be further described in detail below through specific implementations in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0043] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the present application provides an inductor, comprising a magnetic shielding shell 1 , a primary coil 2 , a secondary coil 3 and a magnetic isolation ring 4 .

[0044] Among them, the magnetic shielding shell 1 has a mounting cavity 11 and a magnetic core 12 arranged in the mounting cavity 11; the primary coil 2 and the secondary coil 3 are both arranged in the mounting cavity 11. The magnetic shielding shell 1 not only provides physical protection for the inductor, but more importantly, it can effectively isolate the external interference magnetic field and ensure the stability and purity of the magnetic field inside the inductor. The magnetic core 12 serves as a magnetic conductive medium for the inductance effect. Therefore, the primary coil 2 and the secondary coil 3 are both sleeved on the magnetic core 12 and arranged in sequence along the axial direction of the magnetic core 12, thereby forming an inductance effect. In order to further optimize the performance of the inductor of the present application, a magnetic isolation ring 4 is also provided. The magnetic isolation ring 4 is sleeved on the magnetic core 12 and is located between the primary coil 2 and the secondary coil 3, thereby effectively avoiding mutual interference between the magnetic fields of the primary coil 2 and the secondary coil 3, thereby further improving the electromagnetic performance and magnetic field stability of the inductor.

[0045] like Figure 5 As shown, in a specific embodiment of the present application, the primary coil 2 and the secondary coil 3 are both formed by winding flat enameled wire in a spiral direction.

[0046] When winding the primary coil 2 and secondary coil 3, the leads are first fixed, and then the tail wires are moved independently to complete the winding process. This results in a high degree of elasticity in the coils after winding, which can easily cause them to loosen and damage them during the encapsulation resin. To address these issues, flat enameled wire not only requires high insulation properties but also self-adhesiveness to ensure a tight fit during winding and prevent them from loosening. The selection of flat enameled wire must meet the following key indicators: the surface elongation must be greater than 15% to ensure that it has sufficient flexibility and ductility during the winding process; the material must be not easy to break to improve the durability of the coil; good windability is convenient for efficient winding in a limited space; after winding, the surface enamel film should remain intact, without cracking and copper exposure to ensure its insulation performance; the insulation properties must reach an excellent level, and the surface insulation withstand voltage must exceed 1600V to ensure the safe operation of the coil in a high-voltage environment; the number of pinholes should be strictly controlled, less than 5, to reduce the risk of current leakage; in addition, it must also have high temperature resistance, and the temperature of the softening breakdown test should be greater than 300°C to ensure the long-term stable operation of the coil in a high-temperature environment.

[0047] Within a limited space, enameled wires are tightly packed to maximize space utilization. Compared to round enameled wires, flat wires can better utilize the limited winding space. Their larger surface area also helps conduct and dissipate heat, allowing them to withstand higher currents.

[0048] like Figure 5 As shown, in a specific embodiment of the present application, the two ends of the primary coil 2 are first end electrodes 21. After being led out from the main body of the primary coil 2, the first end electrode 21 is bent along the axis of the primary coil 2 at an angle of approximately 90°. This ensures a good fit and stable connection between the electrode and subsequent connecting components or circuit boards, while optimizing the compactness and space utilization of the overall structure. Correspondingly, the two ends of the secondary coil 3 are second end electrodes 31. After being led out from the main body of the secondary coil 3, the second end electrode 31 is bent along the axis of the secondary coil 3 at an angle of approximately 90°. This ensures a good fit and stable connection between the electrode and subsequent connecting components or circuit boards, while optimizing the compactness and space utilization of the overall structure.

[0049] In a specific embodiment of the present application, a conductive coating is provided on both the first end electrode 21 and the second end electrode 31, thereby improving the conductive efficiency and welding ability of the first end electrode 21 and the second end electrode 31. Before applying the conductive coating, the paint on the first end electrode 21 and the second end electrode 31 must be removed. A laser stripping method can be used. According to different wire diameters, the pulse and pulse width of the laser equipment can be adjusted to achieve a suitable energy value. Laser stripping uses high-energy laser pulses to locally heat the material in a small area. The paint film on the surface of the lead wire vaporizes under high temperature conditions, ensuring that the paint film is destroyed without damaging the copper wire inside the enameled wire. At the same time, the peeling area can also be controlled. Finally, a conductive coating is plated on the first end electrode 21 and the second end electrode 31 from which the paint film has been removed.

[0050] In a specific embodiment of the present application, the conductive coating specifically includes a conductive middle layer and a conductive outer layer to further improve the conductivity and welding reliability of the first terminal electrode 21 and the second terminal electrode 31. The conductive middle layer is plated on the copper substrate of the first terminal electrode 21 and the second terminal electrode 31.

[0051] The copper substrate, as the main part of the electrode, already has good electrical conductivity. However, in order to further improve its electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance, a material with high conductivity, good corrosion resistance and excellent adhesion is selected as the conductive middle layer. It is evenly covered on the surface of the copper substrate to form a continuous and dense conductive layer, thereby effectively improving the electrical conductivity and durability of the electrode.

[0052] A conductive outer layer is applied over the conductive middle layer. This outer layer utilizes a different material than the conductive middle layer, yet possesses the same high conductivity and excellent welding properties. This not only further enhances the electrode's electrical conductivity but also optimizes its welding performance. The conductive outer layer acts as a bridge between the electrode and the solder, promoting solder wetting and diffusion, resulting in a stronger and more reliable solder joint. Furthermore, the conductive outer layer protects the conductive middle layer from environmental corrosion, extending the electrode's service life.

[0053] In a specific embodiment of the present application, the conductive middle layer is a nickel-plated layer, and the conductive outer layer is a tin-plated / lead-plated layer.

[0054] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, in a specific embodiment of the present application, the two first end electrodes 21 of the primary coil 2 are located on the same side of the magnetic shielding shell 1, and the two second end electrodes 31 of the secondary coil 3 are located on the same side of the magnetic shielding shell 1. The first end electrode 21 and the second end electrode 31 are respectively located on both sides of the magnetic shielding shell 1. This not only ensures a reasonable and compact spatial layout between the electrodes and between the electrodes and the magnetic shielding shell, but also further optimizes the overall performance and stability of the circuit system. By arranging the first end electrode 21 and the second end electrode 31 on both sides of the magnetic shielding shell 1, we can effectively reduce electromagnetic interference between the electrodes and improve the anti-interference capability of the circuit system. At the same time, this layout also helps to achieve convenient and stable connection between the electrodes and external circuits or connectors, thereby ensuring that the circuit system can operate normally and efficiently.

[0055] In one embodiment of the present application, the magnetic shielding housing 1 is a soft ferrite housing. As a magnetic material, soft ferrite has high resistivity, low loss, good temperature stability, and is also easy to process and shape. This magnetic shielding housing 1 can effectively absorb, guide, and shield external electromagnetic interference, providing a relatively pure and stable electromagnetic environment for the internal electronic components and circuits, thereby improving the performance of the entire electronic device and extending its service life.

[0056] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in a specific embodiment of the present application, the inductor further includes a bottom plate 5. The bottom plate 5 is also made of soft ferrite. The bottom plate 5 is bonded to the bottom of the magnetic shielding housing 1 and together with the magnetic shielding housing 1, forms a mounting cavity 11.

[0057] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
