Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of inductor technology, and in particular to a three-phase four-column INV inductor. Background Technology

[0002] Inductors (INV) are commonly used in inverter circuits, primarily for filtering, energy storage, and current regulation. Specifically, INV inductors, together with capacitors, form an LC filter to suppress high-frequency switching noise (such as harmonics generated by PWM), ensuring a smooth and stable output current. When switching devices (such as MOSFETs and IGBTs) are turned on, the INV inductor stores energy and releases it when turned off, maintaining current continuity. Furthermore, the INV inductor protects switching components from damage caused by sudden current changes.

[0003] Three-phase four-limb INV inductors typically employ a symmetrical four-limb layout, specifically comprising: each of the three main magnetic limbs corresponds to one phase winding (U / V / W), bearing the magnetic flux generated by that phase current; the neutral magnetic limb provides a closed path for the three-phase magnetic flux, balancing the asymmetrical magnetic flux and reducing leakage flux and core losses; and the yoke connects the top and bottom of each magnetic limb, forming a closed magnetic circuit to ensure efficient flux circulation. The four-limb design effectively disperses magnetic flux density, preventing local saturation, and the neutral limb reduces flux distortion during three-phase imbalance, improving system stability. However, existing three-phase four-limb INV inductors lack a supporting structure to provide structural support, making them susceptible to vibration and displacement during practical applications, which can affect the inductor's operational stability. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a three-phase four-limb INV inductor to address the technical problem of insufficient working stability of existing three-phase four-limb INV inductors.

[0005] A three-phase four-limb INV inductor includes several windings, a magnetic core structure, and a support structure. The windings are wound on the side surface of the magnetic core structure to form an inductor functional structure; the support structure is sleeved on the yoke of the magnetic core structure.

[0006] The magnetic core structure is provided with several magnetic yokes and several magnetic core pillars. The magnetic yokes are arranged in sequence at equal intervals along one direction to provide installation space for the magnetic core pillars. Several magnetic core pillars are arranged between two adjacent magnetic yokes, and the magnetic core pillars are arranged and connected along one direction to form two sets of parallel magnetic core pillars, thereby forming two parallel magnetic circuits, which are respectively connected to the magnetic yokes at both ends to form one of the single-phase magnetic core structures.

[0007] The support structure includes several brackets, which are respectively fitted onto one side surface of each magnetic yoke connected to the magnetic core column.

[0008] Each bracket is configured as a plate-like structure, and each bracket is provided with a mating part and a supporting part.

[0011] In one embodiment, the aforementioned mating part is configured as a pre-shaped enclosure structure corresponding to the magnetic yoke. When the mating part is mated and connected with the corresponding magnetic yoke, the mating part is sleeved onto the side surface of the magnetic yoke.

[0013] In one embodiment, each of the above-mentioned support portions is provided with a plurality of reinforcing ribs, and the plurality of reinforcing ribs are disposed between the support portion and the mating portion.

[0014] In one embodiment, one end of each of the reinforcing ribs is connected to the surface of the support portion, and the other end of the reinforcing rib is connected to the outer surface of the side wall of the mating portion.

[0015] In one embodiment, the aforementioned support is made of an elastic material.

[0016] In one embodiment, the aforementioned bracket is made of silicone.

[0017] In one embodiment, the aforementioned bracket is made of thermally conductive silicone.

[0019] In one embodiment, each of the above-mentioned magnetic core posts is configured as a uniformly extended main body structure, and both ends of the magnetic core posts are configured as flat end faces.

[0020] In one embodiment, the two windings corresponding to the two magnetic circuits between the two adjacent magnetic yokes are connected in series and wound on the side surfaces of two sets of parallel magnetic core columns respectively.

[0021] The aforementioned three-phase four-limb INV inductor provides stable support for the core structure through a support structure, thereby enhancing the installation stability of the three-phase four-limb INV inductor, reducing vibration of the core structure and windings, and improving the inductor's operating stability. Specifically, the core structure includes several yokes and several core pillars; several core pillars are arranged between adjacent yokes, and these core pillars are connected in one direction to form two parallel sets of core pillars, thus forming two parallel magnetic circuits, which are respectively connected to the yokes at both ends to form one single-phase core structure.

[0031] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This utility model discloses a three-phase four-column INV inductor 10, which includes several windings 100, a magnetic core structure 200, and a support structure. The windings 100 are wound on the side surface of the magnetic core structure 200 to form an inductor functional structure. The support structure is sleeved on the yoke 210 of the magnetic core structure 200. In the actual application of the three-phase four-column INV inductor 10, when it is installed at a preset installation point, the support structure can provide stable support for the magnetic core structure 200, thereby enhancing the installation stability of the three-phase four-column INV inductor 10, reducing the vibration of the magnetic core structure 200 and the windings 100, and improving the working stability of the inductor. Specifically, the magnetic core structure 200 is provided with a plurality of magnetic yokes 210 and a plurality of magnetic core pillars 220. The plurality of magnetic yokes 210 are arranged sequentially and equidistantly along one direction to provide installation space for the magnetic core pillars 220. A plurality of magnetic core pillars 220 are provided between two adjacent magnetic yokes 210, and the plurality of magnetic core pillars 220 are arranged and connected along one direction to form two sets of parallel magnetic core pillars 220, thereby forming two parallel magnetic circuits, which are respectively connected to the magnetic yokes 210 at both ends to form one single-phase magnetic core structure 200. Based on this, the support structure includes a plurality of brackets 300, which are respectively sleeved on one side surface of each magnetic yoke 210 connected to the magnetic core pillar 220, so that each magnetic yoke 210 has sufficiently stable support. More specifically, each bracket 300 is configured as a plate structure, and each bracket 300 is provided with a mating part 310 and a supporting part 320. The mating part 310 is provided on one side surface of the bracket 300 for mating and connecting with the corresponding magnetic yoke 210. The supporting part 320 extends outward from the edge of the bracket 300 by a predetermined distance to form a support plate for supporting the magnetic yoke 210, so as to avoid the magnetic yoke 210 directly contacting the mounting point and affecting the overall installation stability of the inductor.

[0032] Furthermore, each bracket 300 is also provided with a clearance groove a, which is provided on the main body of the bracket 300 corresponding to the end face of the magnetic core column 220. The clearance groove a passes through both sides of the bracket 300 to form a through hole of a preset shape and size. Correspondingly, the end face of the magnetic core column 220 can cooperate with the corresponding clearance groove a and is connected to the surface of the corresponding magnetic yoke 210 through the clearance groove a. This ensures that the bracket 300 supports the magnetic yoke 210 while ensuring an effective connection between the magnetic core column 220 and the corresponding magnetic yoke 210.

[0033] Furthermore, the mating part 310 is configured as a pre-shaped enclosure structure corresponding to the yoke 210. When the mating part 310 is mated and connected with the corresponding yoke 210, the mating part 310 is sleeved onto the side surface of the yoke 210. That is, the yoke 210 is embedded in the mating part 310 and abuts against the main body of the bracket 300. This effectively ensures the tightness of the connection between the bracket 300 and the yoke 210, reduces the vibration between the yoke 210 and the bracket 300, and thus improves the stability during inductor application.

[0034] Furthermore, the support portions 320 are respectively disposed on the edges of both sides of the bracket 300, so that in practical applications, the inductor can be installed at a preset mounting point by selecting one of the two sides of the support portion 320, thereby enabling the inductor to be supported by the support portion 320 while reducing the lateral volume of the inductor and improving the installation flexibility of the inductor.

[0035] Furthermore, each support portion 320 is provided with a plurality of reinforcing ribs 321, which are disposed between the support portion 320 and the mating portion 310. Specifically, one end of each reinforcing rib 321 is connected to the surface of the support portion 320, and the other end of the reinforcing rib 321 is connected to the outer surface of the side wall of the mating portion 310, thereby reinforcing the structure between the support portion 320 and the mating portion 310, thereby improving the bending resistance of the support portion 320 and enhancing the stability of the support.

[0036] In one embodiment, the bracket 300 is made of an elastic material, thereby enhancing its cushioning and shock absorption performance while providing support and improving the inductor's vibration resistance during use. In one embodiment, the bracket 300 is made of silicone; in another embodiment, the bracket 300 is made of thermally conductive silicone to further enhance the inductor's heat dissipation performance.

[0037] Furthermore, each magnetic route between two adjacent magnetic yokes 210 comprises four magnetic core posts 220 stacked in one direction. In one embodiment, each magnetic core post 220 is configured as a uniformly extended main structure, and both ends of the magnetic core post 220 are configured as flat end faces, which facilitates the linear stacking arrangement of the magnetic core posts 220.

[0038] Furthermore, the two windings 100 on both sides of the two magnetic circuits between two adjacent magnetic yokes 210 are connected in series and wound on the side surfaces of two sets of parallel magnetic core columns 220 respectively.

[0039] In summary, the three-phase four-limb INV inductor disclosed in this utility model provides stable support for the core structure through a support structure, thereby enhancing the installation stability of the three-phase four-limb INV inductor, reducing vibration of the core structure and windings, and improving the inductor's operating stability. Specifically, the core structure is provided with several yokes and several core pillars; several core pillars are arranged between two adjacent yokes, and these core pillars are arranged and connected in one direction to form two sets of parallel core pillars, thus forming two parallel magnetic circuits, which are respectively connected to the yokes at both ends to form one single-phase core structure; based on this, the support structure includes several brackets, which are respectively sleeved on one side surface of each yoke connected to the core pillar, so that each yoke has sufficiently stable support. Each bracket is configured as a plate structure, and each bracket is provided with a mating part and a supporting part. The mating part is located on one side surface of the bracket for mating and connecting with the corresponding magnetic yoke. The supporting part extends outward from the edge of the bracket by a predetermined distance to form a support plate, which is used to support the magnetic yoke and prevent the magnetic yoke from directly contacting the mounting point and affecting the overall installation stability of the inductor.

[0040] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0041] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
