Detailed Implementation

[0024] This utility model provides a miniaturized transformer and circuit board. To make the purpose, technical solution and effects of this utility model clearer and more explicit, the following describes this utility model in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0025] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "top", "bottom", "upper", "lower", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model; in addition, the terms "installation", "connection", etc. should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a miniaturized transformer, including a primary frame 1, a secondary frame 2, and two magnetic cores 3; the secondary frame 2 has a first through slot 21 in the middle, the primary frame 1 is disposed in the first through slot 21, forming a frame structure with the secondary frame 2, and the two magnetic cores 3 are respectively disposed at the top and bottom of the frame structure; the primary frame 1 has a second through slot 101 in the middle, and a mounting groove is formed between the side wall of the primary frame 1 and one side wall of the first through slot 21; the magnetic core 3 includes a central column 31 and a side column 32, the central column 31 is located in the second through slot 101, and the side column 32 is located in the mounting groove.

[0027] This application discloses a miniaturized transformer. By placing the primary frame 1 within the secondary frame 2, a compact transformer structure is achieved, significantly reducing its size and saving design space, while also increasing the overall leakage inductance of the transformer. The magnetic core 3 includes a center column 31 and side columns 32. The center column 31 is used to control the main inductance, ensuring effective transmission of magnetic flux and reducing magnetic flux leakage, thereby improving energy conversion efficiency. The side columns 32 are used to adjust the leakage inductance, which is an undesirable inductance component in the transformer, leading to energy loss and voltage fluctuations. By properly setting the side columns 32, the magnitude of the leakage inductance can be effectively controlled, thereby reducing energy loss and improving the output voltage stability of the transformer. Therefore, by using the center column 31 and side columns 32 in conjunction with the primary frame 1 and secondary frame 2, the operating efficiency of the miniaturized transformer can be improved, ensuring excellent performance in various applications.

[0028] Further, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The primary frame 1 includes a first top plate 102, a first bottom plate 103, and a first winding post. The top of the first winding post is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first top plate 102, and the bottom of the first winding post is fixedly connected to the top of the first bottom plate 103. The first winding post is used to wind the primary coil. The first top plate 102 is flush with the upper surface of the secondary frame 2, and the first bottom plate 103 is flush with the lower surface of the secondary frame 2. The second through slot 101 is formed in the middle of the first winding post.

[0029] In this embodiment, the first top plate 102, the first bottom plate 103, and the first winding post are integrally formed, which can improve the stability of the entire primary frame 1 structure, enabling it to withstand greater mechanical stress and ensuring stability and safety during the winding process. The top plate of the primary frame 1 and the upper surface of the secondary frame 2 are aligned with the same plane, and the bottom plate of the primary frame 1 and the lower surface of the secondary frame 2 are also aligned with the same plane, so that the primary frame 1 and the secondary frame 2 are tightly integrated, and the formed frame structure is tightly fitted to the inner wall of the magnetic core 3, which significantly reduces the overall height of the transformer, thereby facilitating the miniaturization and weight reduction of the transformer.

[0030] Further, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3The secondary frame 2 includes a second top plate 22, a second bottom plate 23, and a second winding post 24.

The second winding post 24 is used to wind the secondary coil. The second top plate 22 is flush with the upper surface of the first top plate 102, and the second bottom plate 23 is flush with the lower surface of the first bottom plate 103. The first through groove 21 is opened in the middle of the second winding post 24. The mounting groove is formed between one side wall of the first winding post and one side wall of the first through groove 21.

[0031] In this embodiment, the second top plate 22, the second bottom plate 23, and the second winding post 24 are integrally formed, which can improve the stability of the entire secondary skeleton 2 structure, enabling it to withstand greater mechanical stress and ensuring stability and safety during the winding process.

[0032] Further, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 Three first fixing posts 104 are provided on one side of the first base plate 103, and four first fixing posts 104 are provided on the other side of the first base plate 103. First connector pins 105 are respectively connected to the outer side of the first fixing posts 104. Two second fixing posts 25 are provided on one side of the second base plate 23. The two second fixing posts 25 are respectively located at both ends of the three first fixing posts 104. Second connector pins 26 are connected to the outer side of the second fixing posts 25.

[0033] In this embodiment, three first fixing posts 104 are provided on one side of the first base plate 103, while four first fixing posts 104 are provided on the other side. This asymmetrical design not only enhances the overall stability but also makes the weight distribution more uniform. Two second fixing posts 25 are provided on one side of the second base plate 23, and the two second fixing posts 25 are located at the two ends of the three first fixing posts 104 respectively. This layout not only ensures the compactness of the structure but also greatly improves the overall torsional resistance, enabling the entire transformer to maintain stable operation even in complex environments. Each first fixing post 104 and second fixing post 25 is connected to a corresponding first terminal pin 105 and second terminal pin 26 on its outer side, which ensures a stable and reliable electrical connection between the transformer and the circuit board, preventing circuit faults caused by poor contact or loosening. The use of terminal pins enhances the safety of electrical equipment, not only reducing losses during transmission but also ensuring that the current flows along a predetermined path, avoiding potential safety hazards caused by current leakage or short circuits.

[0034] In this embodiment, the first connector 105 is welded or crimped to the first fixing post 104, and the first fixing post 104 is integrally formed with the primary frame 1; the second connector 26 is welded or crimped to the second fixing post 25, and the second fixing post 25 is integrally formed with the secondary frame 2.

[0035] Further, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 A wire groove 106 is formed between adjacent first fixed posts 104.

[0036] In this embodiment, the wire trough 106 formed between adjacent first fixed posts 104 not only manages and guides the wire layout in an orderly manner, preventing the wires from becoming messy or crossing, but also effectively avoids potential faults that may be caused by messy wires. Furthermore, placing the wires in the trough significantly reduces the risk of the wires being damaged by external mechanical forces, ensuring the stability and safety of current transmission, improving the overall reliability of the transformer, extending its service life, and ensuring that the transformer maintains efficient and stable performance during long-term operation.

[0037] Further, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 A limiting plate 107 is provided on one side of the bottom of the first base plate 103, and a first positioning block 108 is provided on the other side of the bottom of the first base plate 103; a first limiting groove is provided on one side of the bottom of the second base plate 23, and a second positioning block 27 is provided at both ends of the other side of the bottom of the second base plate 23; the limiting plate 107 is connected to the first limiting groove, and the two ends of the first positioning block 108 abut against the two second positioning blocks 27 respectively.

[0038] In this embodiment, the limiting plate 107 and the first positioning block 108 are integrally formed with the first base plate 103, and the second positioning block 27 is integrally formed with the second base plate 23. Through the cooperation and connection between the limiting plate 107 and the first limiting groove, and the abutment between the first positioning block 108 and the two second positioning blocks 27, the positioning accuracy of the first base plate 103 and the second base plate 23 during connection is ensured, avoiding errors caused by inaccurate positioning. Furthermore, the first base plate 103 and the second base plate 23 can be firmly connected together, are not easy to loosen, and improve the stability of the entire structure.

[0039] Further, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3The top of the first top plate 102 is provided with two first limiting blocks 109, and the bottom of the first bottom plate 103 is provided with two second limiting blocks 110; the two first limiting blocks 109 and the two second limiting blocks 110 are respectively located at both ends of the second through groove 101; the first limiting blocks 109 are used to limit the movement position of the magnetic core 3 located at the top, and the second limiting blocks 110 are used to limit the movement position of the magnetic core 3 located at the bottom.

[0040] In this embodiment, the first limiting block 109 and the second limiting block 110 are integrally formed with the first top plate 102 and the first bottom plate 103, respectively. By setting two first limiting blocks 109 on the top of the first top plate 102 and two second limiting blocks 110 on the bottom of the first bottom plate 103, the movement position of the magnetic core 3 in the horizontal direction can be effectively limited, improving the reliability and durability of the entire structure. Furthermore, since the magnetic core 3 is constrained by the limiting blocks, the friction and collision between the magnetic core 3 and the surrounding structure are reduced, lowering the risk of wear and damage. At the same time, the presence of the first limiting block 109 and the second limiting block 110 also makes it easier to position and fix the magnetic core 3 during assembly and disassembly, improving work efficiency and convenience.

[0041] Further, please refer to Figure 4 The magnetic core 3 includes a U-shaped body 33, a central column 31 disposed in the inner middle of the U-shaped body 33, and a side column 32 disposed in the U-shaped body 33 and located on one side of the central column 31; a receiving groove is formed between the U-shaped bodies 33 of the two magnetic cores 3, and the skeleton structure part is located in the receiving groove.

[0042] In this embodiment, the central column 31 and the side column 32 are integrally formed with the U-shaped body 33; the receiving groove formed between the U-shaped bodies 33 of the two magnetic cores 3 can stably accommodate the skeleton structure, thereby enhancing the stability and reliability of the overall structure of the miniaturized transformer.

[0043] Further, please refer to Figure 4 The U-shaped main body 33 has a second limiting groove 34 on each side, and the second limiting groove 34 is located at both ends of the central column 31; the two second limiting grooves 34 are respectively connected to the two first limiting blocks 109 or the two second limiting blocks 110.

[0044] In this embodiment, the two second limiting slots 34 are respectively connected to the first limiting block 109 of the top magnetic core 3 or to the second limiting block 110 of the bottom magnetic core 3, which can ensure the precise positioning and stable connection between the components and avoid performance degradation or damage caused by loosening or misalignment.
