[0048] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of this application, but not all embodiments.

[0049] Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0050] As described in the background section, in related technologies, the thermally conductive adhesive has a high coefficient of thermal expansion. When heated, the adhesive expands and may crack the magnetic core, thus affecting the normal function of the magnetic component. To address this issue, one related technology uses a thermally conductive adhesive with a lower coefficient of thermal expansion; however, this method results in higher costs. Another related technology reduces the power density of the magnetic component; however, reducing the power density increases the size of the components, leading to a larger overall volume, increased material usage, and higher costs.

[0051] In view of this, the embodiments of this application aim to provide a magnetic component and a switching power supply. By setting a flexible insulating layer between the coil and the magnetic core, the flexible insulating layer can absorb the stress generated by the thermal expansion of the thermally conductive adhesive layer through deformation. This absorbs the stress on the magnetic core after the thermally conductive adhesive layer expands due to heat, thus ensuring the normal function of the magnetic component. Compared with solutions in related technologies, this application improves the reliability of the magnetic component and saves costs without reducing the power density of the magnetic component.

[0052] The embodiments of this application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that those skilled in the art can gain a more detailed understanding of the content of this application. It should be noted that, in the description of this embodiment, the first direction X, the second direction Y, and the third direction Z are three different directions in three-dimensional space; for example, the first direction X, the second direction Y, and the third direction Z can be perpendicular to each other.

[0053] Please refer to Figures 1-11 This embodiment provides a magnetic element, including:

[0054] The housing 100 has a shape that can be configured as needed, for example, it can be cylindrical or prismatic. One side of the housing 100 has an opening to allow the magnetic component 200 to be inserted into or removed from the housing 100.

[0055] At least one magnetic component 200 is disposed within the housing 100. The magnetic component 200 includes a magnetic core 210, at least one coil 220, and a flexible insulating layer 230. The coil 220 is disposed on the magnetic core 210, and the flexible insulating layer 230 is disposed between the coil 220 and the magnetic core 210. The coil 220 can be formed by spirally winding wire, and can be a single coil, an inner and outer double coil, or a coil with a winding skeleton. The wire can be flat wire, round wire, triple-insulated wire, Litz wire, etc. In this embodiment, the flexible insulating layer 230 can be an elastic layer such as a non-woven fabric layer, a silicone resin layer, a silicone rubber layer, or a polyethylene terephthalate (PET or PEIT) layer.

[0056] A thermally conductive adhesive layer (not shown in the figure) is filled between the magnetic core 210 and the outer shell 100, as well as between any two of the magnetic core 210, coil 220 and flexible insulating layer 230. The thermally conductive adhesive layer can bond the magnetic component 200 to the outer shell 100 as a whole, and can also improve the heat dissipation capacity of the magnetic component 200, so that the magnetic component 200 can maintain good performance.

[0057] It is understood that in this embodiment, by providing a flexible insulating layer 230 between the coil 220 and the magnetic core 210, the flexible insulating layer 230 can absorb the stress on the magnetic core caused by the thermal expansion of the thermally conductive adhesive layer through deformation, thereby ensuring the normal function of the magnetic component.

[0058] In some embodiments, the area of ​​the flexible insulating layer 230 in this embodiment is greater than or equal to one-third of the projected area of ​​the coil 220 on the magnetic core 210, thereby ensuring that the flexible insulating layer 230 can better absorb the stress generated by the thermal expansion of the thermally conductive adhesive layer, providing a good buffering effect and reducing the probability of the magnetic component 200 cracking. In other embodiments of this invention, the area of ​​the flexible insulating layer 230 may also be greater than or equal to half of the projected area of ​​the coil 220 on the magnetic core 210.

[0059] Please continue to refer to Figures 4-6Specifically, the magnetic core 210 of this embodiment includes a first end face 211, a second end face 212, at least one central post 213, a first side post 214, and a second side post 215 disposed opposite to each other. The two ends of the central post 213, the first side post 214, and the second side post 215 are respectively connected to the first end face 211 and the second end face 212. The coil 220 is sleeved on the central post 213. Referring to the accompanying drawings, it can be understood that in this embodiment, part of the central post 213, part of the first side post 214, and part of the second side post 215 are integrally formed with the first end face 211, and another part of the central post 213, another part of the first side post 214, and another part of the second side post 215 are integrally formed with the second end face 212. The above two parts of the structure abut against each other along the first direction X to form the central post 213, the first side post 214, and the second side post 215. The coil 220 is wound on the central post 213.

[0060] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the flexible insulating layer 230 can be disposed between the coil 220 and the first side post 214, and between the coil 220 and the second side post 215. It is understood that in other possible embodiments, the flexible insulating layer 230 may also be disposed only between the coil 220 and the first side post 214; or, only between the coil 220 and the second side post 215. The specific location and quantity of the flexible insulating layer 230 can be selected based on parameters such as the volume change of the thermally conductive adhesive layer after thermal expansion. Figure 4 As shown, in a plane perpendicular to the second direction Y, the projected area of ​​the flexible insulating layer 230 is greater than or equal to one-third of the projected area of ​​the coil 220 on the magnetic core 210, and more preferably, the projected area of ​​the flexible insulating layer 230 is greater than or equal to half of the projected area of ​​the coil 220 on the magnetic core 210 (the same applies below, and will not be repeated). It should be noted that, as... Figure 4 As shown, the side of the first side post 214 and the second side post 215 of the magnetic core 210 that is close to the coil 220 is set to be arc-shaped to match the shape of the coil 220. The flexible insulating layer 230 is also set to be arc-shaped to match the shape of the coil 220. At this time, the area of ​​the arc-shaped surface of the flexible insulating layer 230 is greater than or equal to one-third of the area of ​​the arc-shaped surface of the first side post 214 and the second side post 215.

[0061] like Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments, the flexible insulating layer 230 can be disposed between the coil 220 and the central post 213. The coil 220 is generally wound in a cylindrical shape, and two opposing flexible insulating layers 230 are provided inside the coil 220 along the second direction Y. It can be understood that the two flexible insulating layers 230 can also be disposed opposite each other inside the coil 220 along the third direction Z; or, only one flexible insulating layer 230 can be provided inside the coil 220; or, multiple flexible insulating layers 230 can be disposed circumferentially spaced inside the coil 220. The specific placement and number of the flexible insulating layers 230 can be selected based on parameters such as the volume change of the thermally conductive adhesive layer after thermal expansion. Figure 5 As shown, in a plane perpendicular to the second direction Y, the projected area of ​​the flexible insulating layer 230 is greater than or equal to one-third of the projected area of ​​the coil 220 on the magnetic core 210. It should be noted that, as... Figure 5 As shown, the side of the first side post 214 and the second side post 215 of the magnetic core 210 that is close to the coil 220 is set to be arc-shaped to match the shape of the coil 220. The flexible insulating layer 230 is also set to be arc-shaped to match the shape of the coil 220. At this time, the area of ​​the arc-shaped surface of the flexible insulating layer 230 is greater than or equal to one-third of the area of ​​the arc-shaped surface of the first side post 214 and the second side post 215.

[0062] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the flexible insulating layer 230 can be disposed between the coil 220 and the first end face 211. It is understood that in other possible embodiments, the flexible insulating layer 230 can be disposed between the coil 220 and the second end face 212; or, the flexible insulating layer 230 can be disposed simultaneously between the coil 220 and the first end face 211 and between the coil 220 and the second end face 212. The specific location and quantity of the flexible insulating layer 230 can be selected based on parameters such as the volume change of the thermally conductive adhesive layer after thermal expansion. Figure 6 As shown, in a plane perpendicular to the first direction X, the projected area of ​​the flexible insulating layer 230 is greater than or equal to one-third of the projected area of ​​the coil 220 on the magnetic core 210.

[0063] In other possible embodiments, the flexible insulating layer 230 may be disposed between at least two of the following: coil 220 and first side post 214, coil 220 and second side post 215, coil 220 and middle post 213, coil 220 and first end face 211, and coil 220 and second end face 212. For example, the flexible insulating layer 230 may be disposed simultaneously between coil 220 and first side post 214 and between coil 220 and middle post 213; or, the flexible insulating layer 230 may be disposed simultaneously between coil 220 and first side post 214 and between coil 220 and first end face 211. The specific location and quantity of the flexible insulating layer 230 may be selected based on parameters such as the volume change of the thermally conductive adhesive layer after thermal expansion.

[0064] Please continue to refer to Figures 7-9 In this embodiment, the structure of the magnetic core 210 can also be configured as needed.

[0065] like Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the magnetic core 210 includes a central post 213 located between the first side post 214 and the second side post 215. In this case, the flexible insulating layer 230 can be disposed between the coil 220 and the first side post 214, and between the coil 220 and the second side post 215. It is understood that, based on the above description, the flexible insulating layer 230 can also be disposed between the coil 220 and the central post 213; or, between the coil 220 and the first end face 211, and between the coil 220 and the second end face 212.

[0066] like Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the magnetic core 210 includes two central pillars 213, each comprising a first central pillar 2131 and a second central pillar 2132, spaced apart between a first side pillar 214 and a second side pillar 215. The magnetic component 200 includes two coils 220, each comprising a first coil 221 and a second coil 222, the first coil 221 being sleeved on the first central pillar 2131 and the second coil 222 being sleeved on the second central pillar 2132. In this case, a flexible insulating layer 230 can be disposed between the first coil 221 and the first side pillar 214, and between the second coil 222 and the second side pillar 215. It is understood that, based on the above description, the flexible insulating layer 230 can also be disposed between the first coil 221 and the first central post 2131, between the second coil 222 and the second central post 2132; or, between the first coil 221 and the first end face 211, between the second coil 222 and the first end face 211, between the first coil 221 and the second end face 212, and between the second coil 222 and the second end face 212.

[0067] like Figure 9As shown, in some embodiments, the magnetic core 210 includes three central pillars 213, namely a first central pillar 2131, a second central pillar 2132, and a third central pillar 2133. A first side pillar 214 is located between the first central pillar 2131 and the second central pillar 2132, and a second side pillar 215 is located between the second central pillar 2132 and the third central pillar 2133. The magnetic component 200 includes three coils 220, namely a first coil 221, a second coil 222, and a third coil 223. The first coil 221 is sleeved on the first central pillar 2131, the second coil 222 is sleeved on the second central pillar 2132, and the third coil 223 is sleeved on the third central pillar 2133. At this time, the flexible insulating layer 230 can be disposed between the first coil 221 and the first side post 214, between the second coil 222 and the first side post 214, between the second coil 222 and the second side post 215, and between the third coil 223 and the second side post 215. It is understood that, based on the above description, the flexible insulating layer 230 can also be disposed between the first coil 221 and the first central post 2131, between the second coil 222 and the second central post 2132, and between the third coil 223 and the third central post 2133; or, between the first coil 221 and the first end face 211, between the second coil 222 and the first end face 211, between the third coil 223 and the first end face 211, between the first coil 221 and the second end face 212, between the second coil 222 and the second end face 212, and between the third coil 223 and the second end face 212.

[0068] Understandably, due to Figure 8 and Figure 9 The magnetic components 200 shown all include two or more coils 220, therefore compared to Figure 7 The magnetic component 200 shown can significantly improve the power density of the magnetic component 200.

[0069] Please continue to refer to Figure 3 In this embodiment, the magnetic core 210 further includes a winding bobbin 240, which is sleeved on the central post 213, and the coil 220 is sleeved on the winding bobbin 240. The winding bobbin 240 can be divided into two parts, which abut each other to form the winding bobbin 240. The shape of the winding bobbin 240 can be adapted to the shape of the central post 213. In this embodiment, the material of the winding bobbin 240 can be, for example, bakelite, nylon, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), or other materials with good insulation properties.

[0070] In this embodiment, the flexible insulating layer 230 can be bonded to the coil 220 or the magnetic core 210. Alternatively, the flexible insulating layer 230 can also be bonded to the coil 220 or the magnetic core 210 solely by the thermally conductive adhesive layer.

[0071] Please continue to refer to Figures 1-3 In this embodiment, the magnetic component 200 also includes a base 250, which covers the opening and has lead holes. The coil 220 is led out through the lead holes and connected to an external switching power supply device. By providing lead holes on the base 250, the connector of the coil 220 can be positioned, facilitating connection with the external switching power supply device.

[0072] In this embodiment, multiple magnetic components 200 can be disposed inside the housing 100 to meet the needs of multi-branch power supply applications.

[0073] For example, such as Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, the housing 100 may be provided with a plurality of magnetic elements 200, which are arranged sequentially along the first direction X.

[0074] For example, such as Figure 11 As shown, in some embodiments, the housing 100 may be provided with a plurality of magnetic elements 200, which are arranged in multiple rows along the first direction X and in multiple columns along the second direction Y.

[0075] In this embodiment, when assembling the magnetic components, flexible insulating material can be pre-attached between the outer side of the coil 220 and the magnetic core 210. Then, the coil 220 and the magnetic core 210 are combined to form a magnetic component 200. The magnetic component 200 is then partially or completely placed into the outer casing 100. Thermally conductive adhesive can be injected into the outer casing 100 before or after the magnetic component 200 is placed.

[0076] This embodiment also provides a switching power supply, including the aforementioned magnetic component.

[0077] It is understood that, due to the use of the aforementioned magnetic components, the switching power supply in this embodiment has improved reliability during use, thereby enabling the switching power supply to have a longer service life.
