Abstract
Description

[0002] A common-mode inductor, also called a common-mode choke, is an electromagnetic component used to suppress common-mode interference. A common-mode inductor typically consists of a magnetic core, around which a coil winding is wound and then mounted in a base. In existing common-mode inductors, the magnetic core, magnetic sheet, and coil winding are fixed to the base with adhesive, which is labor-intensive and time-consuming. Furthermore, there is no physical plastic insulation between the magnetic sheet and the coil winding, posing safety risks during vibration. The adhesive application point for the coil winding is on the mounting surface of the magnetic core in the base, resulting in excessively long leads that are prone to deformation, shaking, and retraction. All of these factors contribute to the overall instability of the common-mode inductor's structure. Utility Model Content

[0034] One embodiment of this utility model proposes a structurally stable common-mode inductor, comprising:
[0035] The magnetic core assembly 1 is arranged in the form of a frame structure;
[0036] A coil winding 2 is wound around the magnetic core assembly 1, and the coil winding 2 is provided with a lead wire 21;
[0037] The magnetic sheet 3 is axially disposed in the magnetic core assembly 1;
[0038] The base 4 is used to fix the magnetic core assembly 1, the coil winding 2 and the magnetic sheet 3; the first side of the base 4 is provided with an installation area for installing the magnetic core assembly 1, and the installation area is snapped into the outer side wall of the magnetic core assembly 1; the second side of the base 4 is provided with an installation groove 41 extending along the axial direction of the magnetic core assembly 1, and the magnetic sheet 3 is inserted into the installation groove 41; the base 4 is also provided with a slot 42 for snapping into the lead wire 21.
[0039] This embodiment achieves a glue-free mechanical connection by using a snap-fit design between the first mounting area of the base 4 and the outer wall of the magnetic core assembly 1, and a plug-in fit between the second mounting groove 41 and the magnetic sheet 3. This design directly solves the technical pain points of "high labor costs for dispensing and long baking time" in traditional processes, significantly reducing manufacturing costs (saving labor and glue material costs in the dispensing process) and shortening the production cycle (no need to wait for glue to cure), while avoiding the risk of structural failure caused by glue aging. The mounting groove 41 extends axially along the magnetic core assembly 1, creating a rigid physical barrier between the magnetic sheet 3 and the coil winding 2, effectively solving the safety risks caused by the lack of plastic insulation between the magnetic sheet 3 and the coil winding 2. Especially under equipment vibration conditions, it can prevent accidental contact between the magnetic sheet 3 and the energized coil, meeting the mandatory requirements of safety standards such as IEC 60950 for electrical clearance and creepage distance. The glue dispensing between the lead wire 21 and the base 4 is eliminated, and it is fixed by snap-fitting through the slot 42, improving the stability of the coil winding 2 and the lead wire 21.
[0040] Furthermore, the magnetic core assembly 1 includes a magnetic core 11 and a protective upper cover 12 and a protective lower cover 13 wrapped around the magnetic core 11. The protective upper cover 12 and the protective lower cover 13 form a rigid protective layer by wrapping around the magnetic core 11, which can effectively resist mechanical stresses such as vibration and impact during transportation, installation, or use, preventing the magnetic core 11 from deforming, displacing, or breaking due to external forces, and ensuring the structural integrity of the magnetic core 11. The wrapping design of the protective upper cover 12 and the protective lower cover 13 reduces direct contact between the magnetic core 11 and the external environment, lowers the risk of mechanical damage caused by friction, collision, or dust intrusion, and extends the service life of the common-mode inductor.
[0041] Furthermore, the mounting area includes several baffles 43 that fit against the outer wall of the magnetic core assembly 1. Each baffle 43 has a locking hole 44, and the outer side of the magnetic core assembly 1 is provided with a buckle 14 that engages with the locking hole 44. The baffles 43 fit against the outer wall of the magnetic core assembly 1, physically restricting the horizontal (perpendicular to the axial) freedom of movement of the magnetic core assembly 1. Combined with the engagement of the buckle 14 and the locking hole 44, precise three-dimensional positioning of the magnetic core assembly 1 on the base 4 can be achieved, effectively preventing loosening, displacement, or tilting of the magnetic core assembly 1 due to vibration, impact, or long-term use, ensuring stable electromagnetic performance of the common-mode inductor during operation.
[0042] Furthermore, a first guide slope 15 is provided on the outer side of the buckle 14 along its insertion direction. The first guide slope 15 forms a wedge-shaped guide structure when the buckle 14 is inserted into the buckle hole 44. This slope structure transforms the traditional "vertical pressing" action required for buckling into a composite motion of "sloping surface sliding + elastic deformation," reducing the pressing force required for assembly, facilitating assembly convenience, and improving assembly efficiency. The guide slope replaces the rigid collision of the right-angle buckle 14 with sliding contact, reducing frictional loss between the buckle 14 and the edge of the buckle hole 44.
[0043] Furthermore, a second guide slope 45 is provided on the inner side of the baffle 43 along the insertion direction of the buckle 14, and the second guide slope 45 is located above the buckle hole 44. The first guide slope 15 and the second guide slope 45 form a double guide structure. When the buckle 14 is inserted, the second guide slope 45 first contacts the top of the buckle 14, guiding the buckle 14 to shift towards the buckle hole 44 through the slope sliding. Subsequently, the first guide slope 15 further adjusts the angle of the buckle 14 to improve assembly accuracy and efficiency.
[0044] Furthermore, the magnetic core assembly 1 is configured as a rectangular frame structure, with several baffles 43 respectively abutting the end corners of the magnetic core assembly 1. The symmetrical design of the rectangular frame structure allows for a more uniform distribution of the magnetic field within the magnetic core 11, reducing magnetic leakage caused by structural asymmetry. Simultaneously, the axial arrangement of the rectangular frame and the magnetic sheet 3 forms a closed magnetic circuit, further reducing magnetic resistance and increasing the inductance of the common-mode inductor and its ability to suppress common-mode interference. The geometric constraints of the rectangular frame and the baffles 43 restrict the horizontal movement freedom of the magnetic core assembly 1, and combined with the snap-fit of the buckle 14 and the snap-fit hole 44, a three-dimensional fixation is formed, significantly improving the overall structure's vibration resistance.
[0045] Furthermore, the side wall of the slot 42 is also provided with an opening 46 communicating with its interior. In this embodiment, by opening the opening 46 in the side wall of the slot 42, the stability of the lead wire 21 can be improved. The lead wire 21 and the base 4 can be connected without glue. Specifically, after the lead wire 21 is inserted into the slot 42 of the base 4, pressure can be applied to the lead wire 21 through the opening 46 with the help of an external tool, so that the lead wire 21 deforms along the direction of the opening 46 and engages with the buckle 14, thereby ensuring that the lead wire 21 can be stably limited in the slot 42.
[0046] Furthermore, the mounting groove 41 and the base 4 are configured as an integrally formed structure. In this embodiment, the integrally formed structure avoids the accumulation of gaps or tolerances between the mounting groove 41 and the base 4 caused by independent processing and assembly, ensuring the fitting accuracy between the magnetic sheet 3 and the mounting groove 41. Under vibration or impact environments, the risk of loosening, displacement, or abnormal noise of the magnetic sheet 3 can be reduced, significantly improving the vibration resistance of the common mode inductor.
[0047] Furthermore, the base 4 is a one-piece molded structure made of plastic. The plastic material has insulating properties, which can effectively isolate the magnetic core assembly 1, the coil winding 2 and the external circuit, avoiding the risk of short circuit or leakage caused by accidental contact, and is especially suitable for high voltage, high frequency or high power application scenarios.
[0048] Furthermore, the coil windings 2 are configured as two sets, and the two sets of coil windings 2 are symmetrically wound on the sidewalls of the magnetic core assembly 1. The two sets of coil windings 2 are symmetrically wound on the two sidewalls of the magnetic core 11. Through the symmetrical layout, the magnetic flux generated by the common-mode current enhances each other, and the differential-mode magnetic flux cancels each other out, thus optimizing the filtering performance.
[0049] The above description is only an optional embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
