[0027] Current winding processes require the wire to be led out through terminals at right or oblique angles during actual winding, and then cut at the tail end. However, this winding process usually requires the use of wire-blocking mechanisms and fixing devices to ensure that the guide pin can complete precise winding. The winding process is complex, resulting in low production efficiency.

[0028] Based on this, embodiments of this application provide a common-mode inductor. The technical solution shown in this application will be described in detail below through specific embodiments. It should be noted that the order of description of the following embodiments is not intended to limit the priority of the embodiments.

[0029] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This application provides a schematic diagram of the structure of a common-mode inductor. The common-mode inductor may include a magnetic core 1, metal terminals 2, and a coil 3.

[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, the magnetic core 1 includes a central post 11 and end plates 12 connected to both ends of the central post 11. The magnetic core 1 is made of magnetic material. The size and shape of the central post 11 and the end plates 12 can be designed according to the application of the common-mode inductor and the required magnetic flux. For example, the cross-sectional area of ​​the central post 11 can be designed to be larger to increase the magnetic flux transmission capacity, while the thickness of the end plates 12 can be appropriately increased to improve the magnetic permeability of the magnetic circuit and reduce the risk of magnetic saturation.

[0031] The metal terminal 2 is arranged on the side of the end plate 12 away from the center column 11, and two metal terminals 2 are arranged opposite to each other on the same side. In some embodiments, a boss structure 122 is arranged between the two metal terminals 2 on the same side. The boss structure 122 can isolate the two metal terminals 2 on the same side, effectively preventing short circuit problems caused by position deviation, accidental contact or electrical failure of the two metal terminals 2, and improving the safety and reliability of the common mode inductance. Moreover, the boss structure 122 is integrally formed with the end plate 12. Through the design of the boss structure 122 integrally formed with the end plate 12, the mechanical strength of the overall structure can be improved, and the possibility of loosening between components is reduced, thereby improving the anti-vibration capability of the common mode inductance.

[0032] In the embodiments of the present application, an adhesive layer (not shown in the figure) is arranged between the metal terminal 2 and the end plate 12. The metal terminal 2 and the end plate 12 are fixed by adhesion. The adhesive layer can be formed of a material with high adhesive strength to ensure that the metal terminal 2 and the end plate 12 do not relatively displace when subjected to external force impact or vibration, thereby maintaining the stability of the magnetic circuit.

[0033] In addition, the side of the metal terminal 2 away from the end plate 12 has a plating layer (not shown in the figure), which can significantly improve the corrosion resistance of the metal terminal 2, especially in humid or highly polluted environments, preventing poor contact problems caused by surface oxidation or corrosion of the metal terminal 2. Moreover, the plating layer can improve the surface flatness and conductivity of the metal terminal 2.

[0034] The coil 3 is formed by winding the wire 31 on the center column 11 according to a predetermined rule. The wire 31 can be a copper wire or an aluminum wire to provide good conductivity. The diameter of the wire 31 and the number of turns of the coil 3 can be selected according to the intended use and the required inductance value of the common mode inductance. In addition, the winding method of the coil 3 can be tight winding or loose winding to adapt to different inductance characteristics and thermal management requirements. Tight winding can reduce the capacitive effect between the coils 3, while loose winding can help dissipate heat and prevent overheating. In some cases, in order to further optimize performance, the surface of the wire 31 can be coated with an insulating layer to reduce leakage between adjacent turns and improve overall insulation performance.

[0035] In the embodiments of the present application, the end plate 12 has two opposite wire passing steps 121 arranged on one side. It should be noted that the two opposite wire passing steps 121 can be identical or different. In the embodiments of the present application, the included angle between the bottom surface and the side surface of the wire passing step 121 is greater than 90°. That is, the bottom surface and the side surface of the wire passing step 121 are both inclined surfaces.

[0036] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 6, the wire passing step 121 is arranged on the side of the end plate 12 away from the center column 11. The wire passing step 121 can be arranged on the side of the end plate 12 close to the center column 11. Figure 3As shown, the metal terminal 2 comprises a terminal body 21 and a first functional leg 22 arranged side by side and partially connected, and a wire binding groove 221 is arranged on the first functional leg 22, and the height of the wire binding groove 221 is greater than the bottom surface height of the wire passing step 121. The end of the wire 31 can be wound on the wire binding groove 221 through the wire passing step 121. The back of the wire binding groove 221 is bent towards the side away from the terminal body 21.

[0037] It can be understood that the size and depth of the wire binding groove 221 can be set according to actual conditions. The size and depth of the wire binding groove 221 can determine the number of turns of the wire and form support points during winding, thereby stabilizing and efficiently winding the wire.

[0038] In some embodiments, the connection part of the wire 31 and the wire binding groove 221 is provided with a welding structure. The welding structure can provide a firm wire 31 fixing method to prevent the wire 31 from loosening during use. It can also improve the electrical connection performance and ensure the stability of the electrical contact between the wire 31 and the metal terminal 2.

[0039] Since the bottom surface and the side surface of the wire passing step 121 are both inclined, and the height of the wire binding groove 221 arranged on the first functional leg 22 is greater than the bottom surface height of the wire passing step 121, the design cooperation of the wire passing step 121 and the wire binding groove 221 makes the threading process more convenient. Since the bottom surface and the side surface of the wire passing step 121 are both inclined, the position of the needle hole no longer needs to be fixed, but can be flexibly adjusted within a larger range, thereby avoiding the problem of blocking wire winding (i.e. without the help of a blocking mechanism). Such design reduces the complexity of the winding process, significantly improves the efficiency of the threading process, and also solves the instability problem of high-frequency inductance segmented wire arrangement. Through this improvement, a more efficient production process can be achieved, and the use cost of materials can be significantly reduced during the production process. In addition, since the back of the wire binding groove 221 is bent towards the side away from the terminal body 21, the inclined winding leg design of the wire binding groove 221 can be achieved to simplify the threading process without the help of any auxiliary tools, thereby effectively improving the efficiency of the threading operation.

[0040] It should be noted that the partially connected terminal body 21 and the first functional leg 22 mean that only the side away from the wire passing step 121 of the terminal body 21 and the first functional leg 22 is connected together, and the terminal body 21 and the first functional leg 22 have a gap except for the connection part. This design can reduce the contact area between the terminal body 21 and the first functional leg 22, thereby reducing the heat transfer path between the terminal body 21 and the first functional leg 22, to prevent damage to the adhesive layer between the terminal body 21 and the terminal plate 12 when welding the welding structure on the first functional leg 22.

[0041] In the embodiments of the present application, the distance between the first functional leg 22 and the terminal body 21 is greater than the diameter of the wire guide needle, so as to ensure the smooth passing of the wire guide needle and prevent the wire guide needle from being blocked. In some embodiments, the side of the first functional leg 22 away from the wire binding groove 221 is provided with a heat insulation groove 222, so as to further reduce the heat transfer path between the terminal body 21 and the first functional leg 22.

[0042] In some embodiments, the metal terminal 2 further comprises a second functional leg 23 connected to the terminal body 21 and extending towards the middle column 11, and the second functional leg 23 is buckled on the part of the end plate 12 between the two wire passing steps 121. The firm connection between the second functional leg 23 and the end plate 12 can further enhance the mechanical bonding strength between the metal terminal 2 and the end plate 12, and improve the durability and stability of the overall common mode inductance.

[0043] In summary, the common mode inductance provided by the embodiments of the present application comprises a magnetic core 1, a metal terminal 2 and a coil 3, wherein the magnetic core 1 comprises a middle column 11 and end plates 12 connected to both ends of the middle column 11, and the end plates 12 are provided with two oppositely arranged wire passing steps 121 on one side; the metal terminal 2 is arranged on the side of the end plate 12 away from the middle column 11, and the two metal terminals 2 are oppositely arranged on the same side, the metal terminal 2 comprises a terminal body 21 and a first functional leg 22 arranged side by side and partially connected, the first functional leg 22 is provided with a wire binding groove 221, and the height of the wire binding groove 221 is greater than the height of the bottom surface of the wire passing step 121. The coil 3 is composed of a wire 31 wound around the middle column 11 according to a predetermined rule, and the end of the wire 31 is wound on the wire binding groove 221 through the wire passing step 121. The present scheme sets the wire passing step 121 on the end plate 12, and sets the wire binding groove 221 with a height greater than the height of the bottom surface of the wire passing step 121 on the first functional leg 22, so that the wire winding does not need to be blocked during the winding process, which reduces the complexity of the winding process and improves the wire routing efficiency.

[0044] The common mode inductance provided by the present application is described in detail above, and the principles and implementation modes of the present application are described by applying specific examples. The above description of the embodiments is only used to help understand the core idea of the present application; at the same time, for those skilled in the art, according to the idea of the present application, the specific implementation mode and application range will be changed, and the above description of the present application should not be understood as a limitation.
