The planar winding is made of stacked PCB boards, and the magnetic core is composed of a lower base and an upper cover. The lower base and the upper cover sandwich the planar winding in the middle.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0022] Please see Figure 1-5 The present invention provides an embodiment of a high-frequency planar transformer, comprising a transformer body 1, a planar winding 2, a cover 5, and a magnetic core 20. The planar winding 2 is disposed inside the transformer body 1 and is made of PCB boards 21 stacked sequentially. A magnetic core 20 is disposed at the center of the outer side of the planar winding 2, and the magnetic core 20 includes a lower base 3 and an upper cover 4. The planar winding 2 passes between the lower base 3 and the upper cover 4.
[0023] The lower base 3 and the upper cover 4 sandwich the planar winding 2 in the middle. The upper cover 4 and the lower base 3 are fixed by adhesive to form a closed magnetic circuit. The magnetic core 20 is in close contact with the planar winding 2, resulting in low leakage inductance. The upper cover 4 and the lower base 3 are fixed by adhesive, resulting in more uniform stress distribution and reducing the risk of cracking of the magnetic core 20. Moreover, the magnetic core 20 is in direct contact with the PCB board 21, and heat can be directly conducted to the outside, resulting in better heat dissipation.
[0024] Side posts 9 are provided on both sides of the top of the lower base 3, and a central post 8 is provided at the center of the top of the lower base 3. A reserved hole 10 is provided at the center of the planar winding 2.
[0025] The cross-section of the central column 8 is trapezoidal, and the central column 8 passes through the reserved hole 10, which increases the contact area between the planar winding 2 and the magnetic core 20, so that the magnetic lines of force are concentrated through the center of the winding and the leakage magnetic field is reduced.
[0026] The side posts 9 are symmetrically distributed about the center post 8, and the side posts 9 are uniformly coated with flexible ferrite glue 11 on the side closest to the planar winding 2 to fill microscopic unevenness, reduce magnetic circuit air gap caused by assembly tolerance, and improve consistency.
[0027] The bottom of the transformer body 1 is uniformly provided with positioning posts 19, and the bottom surface of the planar winding 2 is uniformly provided with positioning grooves 17 that match the positioning posts 19, which restricts the degree of freedom of the planar winding 2 in the horizontal and vertical directions, making the planar winding 2 less likely to be displaced under vibration.
[0028] Each positioning groove 17 has a buffer pad 18 embedded inside, and the buffer pad 18 is made of silicone material, which absorbs the mechanical impact between the planar winding 2 and the positioning post 19 by utilizing its elastic deformation characteristics.
[0029] Pins 7 are provided on both sides of the bottom of the planar winding 2. The pins 7 extend to the outside of the transformer body 1 for electrical connection.
[0030] The transformer body 1 is provided with a cover 5 on the top. Support members 12 are provided at the four corners of the bottom of the cover 5, and a fixing clip 14 is provided on one side of each support member 12 via a rotating shaft 16.
[0031] Both ends of the transformer body 1 have slots 15 that match the fixing clips 14. One side of the fixing clips 14 is connected to the support 12 by a return spring 13.
[0032] The cover 5 is connected to the top of the transformer body 1. When the fixing clip 14 passes through the slot 15, it is engaged in the slot 15 under the elastic action of the return spring 13, thereby making the cover 5 and the transformer body 1 engage and achieving mechanical locking between the cover 5 and the transformer body 1. Assembly can be completed by pressing vertically with one hand without the need for additional tools.
[0033] The transformer body 1 has heat dissipation fins 6 evenly distributed on its outer side, and the heat dissipation fins 6 are all made of copper alloy. The heat dissipation fins 6 increase the total heat dissipation area of the transformer body 1, and together with the natural convection or forced air cooling system, the heat dissipation efficiency is improved.
[0034] Working Principle: In this embodiment, the planar winding 2 inside the transformer body 1 is made of stacked PCB boards 21. The magnetic core 20 consists of a lower base 3 and an upper cover 4. The lower base 3 and the upper cover 4 sandwich the planar winding 2 in the middle. The upper cover 4 and the lower base 3 are fixed together by adhesive to form a closed magnetic circuit. The magnetic core 20 has a tight contact with the planar winding 2, resulting in low leakage inductance. The upper cover 4 and the lower base 3 are fixed together by adhesive, resulting in more uniform stress distribution and reducing the risk of cracking of the magnetic core 20. Moreover, the magnetic core 20 is in direct contact with the PCB board 21, and heat can be directly conducted to the outside, resulting in good heat dissipation. A middle... The center post 8 has a reserved hole 10 at the center of the planar winding 2. The center post 8 passes through the reserved hole 10. At the same time, the center post 8 has a trapezoidal structure (narrower at the top and wider at the bottom), which increases the contact area between the planar winding 2 and the magnetic core 20, so that the magnetic lines of force are concentrated through the center of the winding and the leakage magnetic field is reduced. Then the cover 5 is connected to the top of the transformer body 1. When the fixing clip 14 passes through the slot 15, it is locked into the slot 15 under the elastic action of the return spring 13, so that the cover 5 is locked to the transformer body 1, realizing the mechanical locking of the cover 5 and the transformer body 1. Assembly can be completed by pressing vertically with one hand without additional tools.
