Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of main transformer technology, and more specifically to a main transformer for a micro inverter. Background Technology

[0002] A microinverter is a low-power inverter primarily used to convert direct current (DC) generated by a single or a few photovoltaic (PV) panels into alternating current (AC). It differs from traditional centralized inverters and string inverters, which centrally convert DC power generated by multiple PV modules. In a microinverter, a key role of the transformer is voltage transformation. The DC voltage generated by PV panels is typically low, generally around 12-48V. To convert this to AC voltage suitable for grid connection, a transformer is needed to step up the voltage. This effectively increases the voltage, allowing the output AC power to be successfully connected to the grid or to supply local AC loads.

[0003] Existing microinverters use a single transformer core and multiple pins as the main transformer. For example, the prior art publication CN219800631U describes a magnetically integrated transformer for a microinverter, a microinverter, and a photovoltaic system. This invention includes a transformer frame, a magnet, and multiple coil groups. The transformer frame has multiple pins, and the transformer core is mounted on the transformer frame. Multiple coil mounting cavities are formed within the transformer core, spaced apart sequentially. Each coil mounting cavity contains a winding post, and the number of coil groups corresponds to the number of coil mounting cavities.

[0004] However, the existing technology has the following problems when used: the transformer winding coil in the main transformer of the micro inverter is usually installed inside the transformer core, and the heat dissipation speed is slow, which will cause the temperature of the entire transformer to rise, thus affecting the normal power of the main transformer. Based on this, the present invention provides a main transformer for micro inverters that is small in size and has good heat dissipation. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the aforementioned deficiencies in the prior art, this utility model provides a main transformer for a micro inverter. By exposing the transformer winding coils to the air for heat dissipation, and by applying black glue between the first, second, and third welded parts and the top of the transformer frame, and between the bottom of the fourth welded part and the top of the transformer winding coils, the black glue can isolate the air at the weld joints, preventing air oxidation from reducing the weld strength. At the same time, the entire main transformer has a flat design, which can reduce the occupied area and facilitate better installation and use, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a main transformer for a micro inverter, comprising a transformer frame, a transformer core fixedly mounted at the top of the transformer frame, a first welded component and a second welded component fixedly mounted at the front end of the transformer core, and a transformer winding coil assembly at the rear end of the transformer core. The transformer winding coil assembly is a key component of the transformer, made of wire with an insulating layer, which converts the input voltage into the output voltage through the principle of electromagnetic induction, realizing the transmission and distribution of electrical energy. A third welded component and a fourth welded component are fixedly mounted at the rear end of the transformer core, and the bottom end of the fourth welded component is fixedly welded to the top of the transformer winding coil assembly. The transformer winding coil assembly has a first and a second terminal pin fixedly mounted on the front side of the bottom end of the transformer frame, and a third, fourth, fifth, and sixth terminal pin fixedly mounted on the rear side of the bottom end of the transformer frame for connecting the transformer circuit.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the first welded component, the second welded component, the third welded component, and the transformer winding coil are all fixed to the top of the transformer frame for normal use of the micro inverter.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, black adhesive is fixedly bonded between the first, second, and third welded parts and the top of the transformer frame, and between the bottom of the fourth welded part and the top of the transformer winding coil. The black adhesive applied to the weld joint can enhance the reliability of the weld joint, provide electrical insulation protection, and prevent oxidation and corrosion of the weld joint. Therefore, by using black adhesive at the weld joints of the first, second, third, and fourth welded parts, oxidation can be prevented and the weld strength can be improved.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, welding tape is fixedly pasted on both the front and rear sides of the bottom end of the transformer frame. Specifically, welding tape is a special tape widely used in industries such as electronics, batteries, and automobile manufacturing. It has high temperature resistance and electrical insulation properties. Therefore, setting welding tape can play an insulating protection role at the bottom of the transformer frame.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth connection pins are evenly distributed at the bottom of the transformer frame to avoid mutual interference between the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth connection pins.

[0011] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] This invention exposes the transformer winding coil to the air for heat dissipation. Black glue is applied between the first, second, and third welded parts and the top of the transformer frame, and between the bottom of the fourth welded part and the top of the transformer winding coil. The black glue can isolate the air at the weld, preventing air oxidation from reducing the weld's strength. At the same time, the entire main transformer has a flat design, which can reduce the occupied area and facilitate better installation and use. Attached Figure Description

A transformer winding coil 5 is provided at the rear end of the transformer core 2. The transformer winding coil 5 is a key component in the transformer. It is made of wire with an insulating layer and converts the input voltage into the output voltage through the principle of electromagnetic induction to realize the transmission and distribution of electrical energy.

[0020] The rear end of the transformer core 2 is fixedly provided with a third welding part 6 and a fourth welding part 7.

[0021] Furthermore, the first welded component 3, the second welded component 4, the third welded component 6, and the transformer winding coil group 5 are all fixed to the top of the transformer frame 1 for normal use of the micro inverter;

[0022] Furthermore, black glue 14 is fixedly bonded between the first welded part 3, the second welded part 4, and the third welded part 6 and the top of the transformer frame 1, and between the bottom of the fourth welded part 7 and the top of the transformer winding coil 5. The black glue 14 applied to the weld joint can enhance the reliability of the weld joint, provide electrical insulation protection, and prevent oxidation and corrosion of the weld joint. Therefore, by using black glue 14 at the weld joints of the first welded part 3, the second welded part 4, the third welded part 6, and the fourth welded part 7, oxidation can be prevented and the weld strength can be improved.

[0023] Soldering tape 15 is fixedly pasted on both the front and rear sides of the bottom end of the transformer frame 1. Specifically, the soldering tape 15 is a special tape widely used in industries such as electronics, batteries, and automobile manufacturing. It has high temperature resistance and electrical insulation properties. Therefore, the soldering tape 15 can play an insulating protection role at the bottom of the transformer frame 1.

[0024] In use, the transformer can be used normally by cooperating with the transformer core 2 through the first welding part 3, the second welding part 4, the third welding part 6, the fourth welding part 7, the first terminal pin 8, the second terminal pin 9, the third terminal pin 10, the fourth terminal pin 11, the fifth terminal pin 12, and the sixth terminal pin 13.

Black glue 14 is applied between the first welding part 3, the second welding part 4, and the third welding part 6 and the top of the transformer frame 1, and between the bottom of the fourth welding part 7 and the top of the transformer winding coil 5.
