[0027] In order to make the technical problems, technical schemes and beneficial effects of the application more clear, the application will be further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and embodiments.It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the application and not to limit the application.
[0028] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as "provided on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or indirectly on the other element.When an element is referred to as "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or indirectly connected to the other element.
[0029] It needs to be understood that the terms "length", "width", "upper", "lower", "inner", "outer" and the like indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the devices or elements referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present application.
[0030] In addition, the terms "first", "second" are only for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined with "first", "second" can explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present application, the meaning of "multiple" is two or more, unless otherwise explicitly and specifically limited.
[0031] It needs to be known that inductance as an important basic element in the electrical field has many core functions such as energy storage, filtering and signal processing. In modern electronic equipment and circuit design, the application range of inductors is extremely wide, covering power management, audio signal processing, wireless communication, radio frequency circuit and automobile electronics and many other fields. These applications usually require inductors to have high efficiency, good frequency characteristics and stable performance.
[0032] With the continuous progress of science and technology and the increasing demand of society for small and light electronic products, the integration of electronic equipment is increasingly improved, and the available space on the circuit board is gradually reduced. Under this background, the design and arrangement of inductors face significant challenges. Especially in complex circuits, the mutual interference between various functional elements and layout restrictions make the selection of inductance installation position complex and difficult.
[0033] In the related art, the wiring position of inductance is often affected by the close layout and space limitation of surrounding elements. For example, in high frequency applications, the electromagnetic compatibility, signal coupling and transmission characteristics of inductance are directly related to the signal integrity of the entire circuit and the stability of the device. If the inductance is not correctly arranged, it may cause signal distortion, noise interference and instability of the circuit, thereby affecting the working performance and reliability of the electronic equipment. This is particularly evident in application scenarios that require precise signal processing and high data transmission speed, such as in communication equipment and high-performance computers.
[0034] In addition, inductors themselves are usually large in size, limited by traditional design concepts and material specifications, making their applicability in compact design significantly restricted. Although some miniaturized inductor design schemes have appeared, most inductors still cannot meet the needs of rapidly developing small circuit boards. This problem has prompted engineers to explore new inductor design schemes and the application of alternative materials to achieve more efficient energy storage and signal processing.
[0035] The current inductor needs to be arranged as close to the circuit board as possible, however, in the case that the circuit board has high electrical density, a slightly larger inductor may not be able to be placed in the area. Therefore, the present application improves the related inductor assembly and electronic device based on this.
[0036] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 The structure of the inductor assembly provided by the embodiment is shown. The inductor assembly of the embodiment includes a housing 100, an inductor 200, and an extension 300; one side of the housing 100 is used to be fixed with the circuit board, and the side away from the circuit board is provided with an opening 110; the inductor 200 is arranged in the housing 100, and the inductor 200 has a pin 210 extending out of the opening 110; the extension 300 is connected to the side of the housing 100 provided with the opening 110, and extends along a first direction a, which is at an angle to the direction from one side of the housing 100 to the other side provided with the opening 110; the side of the extension 300 away from the housing 100 is provided with an electrical connection part 310, the electrical connection part 310 is connected to the pin 210, and the electrical connection part 310 is used to connect the circuit board.
[0037] It should be explained that the housing 100 can be used as a support structure of the inductor 200; the housing 100 can also be provided as an insulating material support to improve the insulation performance of the inductor 200. The inductor 200 is used to realize the basic function of the inductor structure; the inductor 200 can include a magnetic core and a coil, the coil is wound on the magnetic core, and the end and / or the head of the coil extends out of the opening 110 to form the pin 210.
[0038] It can be understood that the extension 300 extends along the first direction a which is at an angle to the direction from one side of the housing 100 to the other side provided with the opening 110. Due to the presence of the extension 300, the electrical connection part 310 can be located away from the main body of the inductor 200, which makes the inductor 200 can be selectively installed in the empty area on the circuit board. This design makes the pin 210 connection part of the inductor assembly can be away from the housing 100, so that the pin 210 can extend from above the circuit board to a farther place to connect with the wiring point of the circuit board. Thus, the pin 210 wiring can avoid other structures on the circuit board to optimize the layout of the inductor.
[0039] In the related art, the circuit board is provided with an inductance connection point, and the inductance usually needs to be arranged close to the inductance connection point, which limits the size and shape of the inductance. However, in the present application, the inductance component 200 can be connected to the circuit board through the electric connection part 310 away from it, so that the inductance component 200 can be arranged at a relatively empty position on the circuit board, thereby facilitating the optimization of the layout of the inductance position on the circuit board. At the same time, the pin 210 is wired along the empty extension part 300 on the circuit board, which is beneficial to avoid other structures on the circuit board.
[0040] In some embodiments, the first direction a forms an angle with the direction from one side of the shell 100 to the other side where the opening 110 is arranged, which can be within 0°-180° and 180°-360°. It should be noted that if the angle is 0° or 360°, the extension part 300 will be away from the circuit board along the direction perpendicular to the circuit board, which is not conducive to the effect of separating the inductance layout position and the inductance connection position in the present application. If the angle is 180°, the extension part 300 will be close to the circuit board along the direction perpendicular to the circuit board, which is not conducive to the effect of separating the inductance layout position and the inductance connection position in the present application.
[0041] In some embodiments of the present application, please refer to Figure 1 The first direction a of the present embodiment is perpendicular to the direction from one side of the shell 100 to the other side where the opening 110 is arranged.
[0042] It can be understood that since the extension part 300 extends along the vertical direction, the inductance component can extend outward as much as possible in the layout of the circuit board. This means that more space can be used to arrange components, avoiding space limitations caused by the presence of other components, thereby achieving a more efficient design.
[0043] In some embodiments of the present application, please refer to Figure 1 The direction from one side of the shell 100 to the other side where the opening 110 is arranged in the present embodiment is perpendicular to the circuit board. In this way, the vertically arranged shell 100 can reduce the space occupied by the shell 100 on the circuit board.
[0044] In some embodiments of the present application, please refer to Figure 1 The electric connection part 310 of the present embodiment extends along the second direction b and is arranged apart from the shell 100 along the first direction a, and the extension end of the electric connection part 310 is used to connect the circuit board; the second direction b is parallel to the direction from one side of the shell 100 to the other side where the opening 110 is arranged.
[0045] It should be explained that the electric connection part 310 is arranged apart from the shell 100, and the space between them can accommodate other electronic components on the circuit board to optimize the space layout on the circuit board.
[0046] In some embodiments of the present application, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 The structure diagram of the inductor assembly provided by the present embodiment is shown. The extension member 300 of the present embodiment is provided with a through hole 320, and the electrical connection part 310 is arranged in the through hole 320 and extends out of the through hole 320 at both ends. One end of the electrical connection part 310 extending out is connected with the pin 210, and the other end of the electrical connection part 310 extending out is used for connecting the circuit board.
[0047] It should be explained that the through hole 320 provided on the extension member 300 provides a fixed path to allow the electrical connection part 310 to pass from the inside of the extension member 300. Through this design, the layout of the electrical connection part 310 can be effectively managed, and the stability and reliability of the electrical connection part 310 in the extension member 300 can be ensured. Moreover, the electrical connection part 310 can pass through the extension member 300 to be connected with the pin 210, which is conducive to simplifying the wiring of the pin 210.
[0048] In some embodiments of the present application, please continue to refer to Figure 1 and refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 The structure diagram of the inductor 200 provided by the present embodiment is shown. The inductor 200 of the present embodiment has at least two pins 210, and the through hole 320 is provided at least two. The at least two pins 210 are arranged one by one with the at least two through holes 320.
[0049] It can be understood that each pin 210 has a corresponding through hole 320, so that the pin 210 can pass through the electrical connection part 310 in the corresponding through hole 320 to be connected with the external circuit. This one-to-one correspondence ensures the correct matching and connection between the pin 210 and the through hole 320.
[0050] In some embodiments of the present application, please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The at least two pins 210 of the present embodiment have a spacing in the third direction c, and the at least two through holes 320 are arranged with a spacing in the first direction a and / or the third direction c.
[0051] It should be explained that the two pins 210 are arranged with a spacing along the third direction c, which is conducive to reducing the mutual interference between the two pins 210, so as to reduce the coupling effect in the inductor assembly. This third direction c can be a direction parallel to the plane of the circuit board. The at least two through holes 320 are arranged with a spacing at least along the first direction a and / or the second direction b, so as to form a spacing between the two electrical connection parts 310, thereby reducing the mutual interference between the two electrical connection parts 310 and reducing the coupling effect in the inductor assembly.
[0052] It can be understood that the two electrical connections 310 are arranged at intervals, and can be connected with different electronic components through the electrical connections 310, so as to be suitable for different circuit boards.
[0053] In some embodiments of the present application, please refer to Figure 2 The extension piece 300 of the embodiment is provided with a wiring groove 330, and the pins 210 are arranged in the wiring groove 330.
[0054] It can be understood that the wiring groove 330 provides a clear path and space for the pins 210, so that the pins 210 can be arranged neatly in the wiring groove 330, avoiding the interlacing and confusion between the pins 210. This not only improves the neatness of the appearance of the inductor assembly, but also helps to protect the pins 210 from external mechanical damage, such as scratching or bending.
[0055] In some embodiments of the present application, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The inductor assembly of the embodiment further comprises a fixing piece 400, the fixing piece 400 is arranged on the shell 100, and the fixing piece 400 is provided with a fixing groove 410 for fixing components.
[0056] It can be understood that the fixing piece 400 can fix other electronic components on the circuit board, and the fixing groove 410 can be used for wiring of other electronic components on the circuit board.
[0057] In some embodiments of the present application, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The fixing piece 400 and the extension piece 300 of the embodiment are respectively arranged on the adjacent two sides of the opening 110, and the fixing groove 410 is arranged towards the circuit board. By arranging the fixing piece 400 and the extension piece 300 on the adjacent two sides of the opening 110 respectively, the space inside the inductor assembly can be used more effectively. This layout avoids the conflict between the fixing piece 400 and the extension piece 300 in space, so that the overall structure of the inductor assembly is more compact and reasonable. At the same time, this also provides more space for the arrangement of other components, which helps to improve the integration and space utilization of the entire electronic product.
[0058] In some embodiments of the present application, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The fixing piece 400, the shell 100 and the extension piece 300 of the embodiment are of an integrated structure; the fixing piece 400, the shell 100 and the extension piece 300 are insulating structural members.
[0059] It can be understood that the one-piece structure design enables the close connection between the fixing member 400, the shell 100 and the extension member 300 without any gap or interface, thereby improving the integrity and stability of the inductance assembly. Such a design helps to reduce performance degradation or failure caused by loose or displacement of components, and ensures stable operation of the inductance assembly in various environments. The fixing member 400, the shell 100 and the extension member 300 serve as insulation structural members, and have excellent insulation performance. This can prevent damage or failure of the inductance assembly caused by current leakage or short circuit during operation. At the same time, the insulation performance helps to improve the electrical performance and safety of the inductance assembly, and ensures normal operation of the inductance assembly under high voltage or high current conditions.
