Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of transformer technology, specifically a transformer frame. Background Technology
[0002] The transformer bobbin, also known as the transformer wire frame, is a major structural component of a transformer. Its main functions include: providing winding space for the copper wires; securing the transformer core; providing a path for the wires during winding in the bobbin; the metal pins in the bobbin acting as supports for the copper wire winding, connecting to the PCB board after soldering, and providing conductivity during transformer operation; and the protrusions, recesses, or chamfers in the bobbin determining the transformer's placement orientation or pin sequence during use.
[0003] Transformers are used in PCB power supplies to perform voltage, current, and impedance transformations on the PCB. Therefore, they have high requirements for electrical safety. If the creepage distance between the transformer windings and pins is too short, it can easily lead to a short circuit, thereby damaging the entire PCB. Existing technology increases the creepage distance between the transformer windings and pins by increasing the length of the frame. However, this method increases the volume of the transformer frame, increases material costs, and is not conducive to reducing the overall size of the transformer or the PCB layout space. Therefore, a new transformer frame is proposed. Utility Model Content

The top of the main frame is respectively fixed with a first baffle and a second baffle, and a winding drum is fixed between the first baffle and the second baffle. A first protrusion is fixed to the bottom left side of the main frame, a second protrusion is fixed to the bottom right side of the main frame, and a third protrusion is fixed to the top of the main frame away from the first protrusion.

[0018] Example Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a transformer frame, including a frame body 1 installed inside the transformer. In this embodiment, the frame body 1 is applied to a voltage input power module. The frame body 1 has several pin seats 12 on both sides, and wire grooves 11 are provided between adjacent pin seats 12. The right pin seat 12 is fixed with a first pin 4, and the left pin seat 12 is fixed with a second pin 6. The frame body 1 serves as the core support structure, and the pin seats 12 on both sides are respectively fixed with the first pin 4 and the second pin 6 to realize electrical connection with the external circuit. The wire grooves 11 between adjacent pin seats 12 are used to standardize the wire routing path and avoid wire crossing interference. A first baffle 2 and a second baffle 5 are fixed to the top of the main frame 1, and a winding drum 3 is fixed between the first baffle 2 and the second baffle 5. A wire winding 14 is wound around the outside of the winding drum 3, and insulating tape is applied to the outside of the wire winding 14. The wire winding 14 is connected to the first pin 4 and the second pin 6 via wires. A wire groove 11 guides the wire routing. A magnetic core 13 is sleeved on the outside of the first baffle 2 and the second baffle 5. The magnetic core 13 is located outside the winding drum 3 and the wire winding 14, and is connected to the top of the main frame 1 by adhesive or clips. The winding drum 3 is fixed between the first baffle 2 and the second baffle 5, and the wire winding 14 is wound around its outside, connecting to the first pin 4 and the second pin 6 via wires. The magnetic core 13 sleeved on the outside of the baffles forms a closed magnetic circuit, realizing electromagnetic energy conversion. The insulating tape wraps around the wire winding 14 to prevent short circuits and enhance insulation performance.
[0019] A first protrusion 7 is fixed to the bottom left side of the main frame 1, a second protrusion 8 is fixed to the bottom right side of the main frame 1, and a third protrusion 10 is fixed to the top of the main frame 1 away from the first protrusion 7. A groove 9 is opened on the right side of the third protrusion 10. The groove 9 is square in shape and has a side length of 1.1 mm. The second protrusion 8 and the third protrusion 10 are located on both sides of the wire winding 14, respectively. The first protrusion 7 on the left and the second protrusion 8 on the right are located on both sides of the bottom of the frame, forming a physical isolation barrier.
[0020] The groove 9 is located on the top of the first pin 4. The groove 9 is opened on the right side of the third protrusion 10 at the top, and the groove 9 is located on the top of the first pin 4, forming a discontinuous path. The first protrusion 7, the second protrusion 8, the groove 9 and the third protrusion 10 are used to extend the creepage path and thus increase the creepage distance. The first protrusion 7, the second protrusion 8, the groove 9 and the third protrusion 10 increase the creepage path between the wire winding 14 and the first pin 4 and the second pin 6, thereby increasing the creepage distance, and there is no need to increase the length of the skeleton body 1. The path is forced to go around the second protrusion 8 or the first protrusion 7, or go up into the groove 9 and then over the third protrusion 10. It is equivalent to turning a straight line into a zigzag or U-shaped path around obstacles on a two-dimensional plane, so the creepage distance is greatly extended.
[0021] Structural principle: A winding drum 3 is fixed between the first baffle 2 and the second baffle 5. The winding drum 3 serves as the winding carrier for the conductor winding 14, providing space for the transformer coil winding. The conductor winding 14 is wound around the outside of the winding drum 3, and insulating tape is provided on the outside of the conductor winding 14. The insulating tape serves as insulation, preventing leakage between the conductor winding 14 and other components, and ensuring the electrical safety performance of the transformer. The wire groove 11 can regulate the layout of the wires, make the wires neat and orderly, avoid the wires from tangling and interfering with each other, and also facilitate installation and maintenance, ensuring that the current can be stably transmitted from the wire winding 14 to the first pin 4 and the second pin 6 respectively, so as to exchange energy with the external circuit. The function of the magnetic core 13 is to enhance magnetic field coupling and improve the electromagnetic induction efficiency of the transformer. When an alternating current passes through the conductor winding 14, an alternating magnetic field is generated. The magnetic core 13 can concentrate most of the magnetic field inside itself, reducing magnetic field leakage, thereby achieving efficient power conversion.
[0022] The first protrusion 7, the second protrusion 8, the groove 9, and the third protrusion 10 are used to extend the creepage path, thereby increasing the creepage distance. During transformer operation, voltage differences may exist between components at different potentials. If the creepage distance is too short, surface discharge may occur in harsh environments such as high voltage or humidity, leading to insulation failure and affecting the safe operation of the transformer. By setting these protrusions and grooves 9, the creepage distance between the conductor winding 14 and the first pin 4 and the second pin 6 is increased, effectively preventing surface discharge, improving the insulation performance and safety of the transformer, without increasing the length of the frame body 1, achieving improved insulation performance within a limited space, and contributing to the miniaturization of the transformer.
[0023] In summary, the first protrusion 7, the second protrusion 8, the groove 9, and the third protrusion 10 provided on one side of the frame body 1 are used to extend the creepage path and increase the creepage distance. During the operation of the transformer, it can prevent surface discharge between components at different potentials from occurring due to excessively short creepage distance in harsh environments such as high voltage or humidity, which could lead to insulation failure. This effectively improves the insulation performance and safety of the transformer. It does not require increasing the length of the frame body 1, and improves insulation performance within a limited space, which is conducive to the miniaturization of the transformer.
