Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to inductance manufacturing technical field especially relates to a kind of PFC inductance of ultra-thin LLC resonant topology. BACKGROUND

[0002] LLC topology is widely used in high-power power supply structure field due to its low switching loss advantage. In many devices requiring efficient power conversion, such as server power supply, industrial automation equipment power supply, LLC topology plays a key role and provides strong support for stable operation of the device.

[0003] However, the traditional ring PFC inductance has many drawbacks in practical application. From the perspective of structural design, the window utilization rate of ring PFC inductance is low. This means that in a limited space, the window area cannot be fully utilized for winding winding, which limits the number of turns and affects the performance of the inductor. Under the same power demand, the size of the magnetic core has to be increased to compensate for this defect, which directly leads to a large finished product structure.

[0004] For example, in some data center server power supplies with extremely high space layout requirements, the traditional ring PFC inductance occupies a large space, making it difficult to further reduce the overall size of the power module, which is not conducive to the miniaturization design of the device. At the same time, the larger finished product structure means that more raw materials, including magnetic materials and wires, are needed, which undoubtedly increases production costs. Not only that, but the larger volume also increases transportation costs and causes additional economic burden in the logistics link.

[0005] In addition, due to the structural characteristics of the traditional ring PFC inductance, there are deficiencies in electromagnetic shielding, which can easily cause electromagnetic interference (EMI). In today's environment where electronic devices are intensively used, electromagnetic interference problems can affect the normal operation of other electronic devices in the surrounding area, reducing the stability and reliability of the entire system. For example, in the field of medical devices, aerospace electronic devices and other fields with strict requirements on electromagnetic environment, the electromagnetic interference problem of traditional ring PFC inductance has become a major obstacle to its application.

[0017] In the figure: 1, magnetic core; 2, winding; 3, lead. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The technical scheme in the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below, obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments.

[0019] Embodiment 1, refer to Figs. 1-2 A PFC inductor for an ultra-thin LLC resonance topology, comprising an ER type high magnetic flux alloy material magnetic core 1; a winding 2 formed in a flat wire winding structure; a lead 3 formed into an SMT mounting pin through a molding process.

[0020] In this embodiment, the magnetic core 1 is used to shield the winding 2, and the bottom and top of the inductor are flat structures, and the inductor is suitable for PFC power range of 500W-6KW.

[0021] The working principle of the embodiment: in the power supply system of LLC resonance topology, this ultra-thin PFC inductor plays a key role. Its working principle is based on the law of electromagnetic induction, and power factor correction and electric energy conversion are realized through the cooperative work of magnetic core and winding.

[0022] When the alternating current power is connected to the circuit, the current flows through the winding wound by flat wire. Since the winding is wound around the magnetic core made of ER type high magnetic flux alloy material, according to the principle of electromagnetic induction, the change of current will generate alternating magnetic field in the magnetic core. The magnetic core made of high magnetic flux alloy material has good magnetic conductivity, which can efficiently gather and conduct magnetic field, so that the magnetic field distribution is more concentrated and uniform.

[0023] In the process of power factor correction, the PFC inductor works with other elements in the circuit (such as diodes, capacitors, etc.). The inductor stores and releases energy to regulate the waveform of the current, so that the input current is closer to the sine wave, thereby improving the power factor. When the voltage in the circuit rises, the inductor stores energy to suppress the rapid rise of current; when the voltage decreases, the inductor releases the stored energy to maintain the stability of the current and compensate for the decrease of voltage, so as to reduce the current harmonics and improve the utilization efficiency of electric energy.

[0024] At the same time, the magnetic core plays a magnetic shielding role for the copper winding. The special structure and material properties of the magnetic core make the electromagnetic radiation generated by the winding limited in the magnetic core, reducing the electromagnetic interference (EMI) to the outside world and improving the electromagnetic compatibility of the whole system. The flat structure of the bottom and top of the inductor is conducive to closely fitting with the heat dissipation device, which can timely dissipate the heat generated in the working process of the inductor, ensuring the stability and reliability of the inductor in high power operation state, and avoiding performance degradation or damage due to overheating.

[0025] The above is only the preferred specific implementation of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited to this. Any skilled person in the art can make equivalent replacement or change according to the technical scheme and the inventive concept of the present application within the technical range disclosed by the present application, which should be covered in the protection scope of the present application.
