[0044] An inductor according to an embodiment of the present invention may be configured as a separate module as an inductor module and may be applied to an inverter module. An inverter module according to an embodiment of the present invention to which an inductor according to an embodiment of the present invention is applied may be a PV inverter module. A PV inverter module is a device that receives power from a PV panel or a PV converter and converts it into power that can be used in a home or building. It receives DC power such as a PV converter, converts it into AC power, and outputs it. At this time, the DC power is transmitted to an inverter driving unit through a wire connection, and the inverter driving unit converts the power, and then transmits the converted power to a load again through the wire connection. The inverter driving unit may include a power conversion element and a switching element or an MCU for controlling the power conversion element. The power conversion element may include a passive element such as an inductor or a capacitor, and may include a switching element implemented as a FET or a diode, and may include an MCU for controlling the switching element. In addition, various elements for converting power may be included, or elements for implementing functions other than power conversion may be included.

[0045] The first core (110) includes a first base (111), a first outer leg (112), and a first middle leg (113).

[0046] The first base (111) may have a plate shape. A first outer leg (112) and a first intermediate leg (113) may be extended and arranged from the first base (111). The first outer leg (112) extends in a first direction from an edge of one side of the first base (111). Here, the first direction may be an upper direction of the first base (111). The first outer leg (112) may include a first-first outer leg and a first-second outer leg extending from one side, an opposite side of the one side, and both sides of the first base (111).

The first core (110) may include a first intermediate leg (113) in the center from the first base (111), a first-first outer leg and a first-second outer leg arranged on both sides of the first intermediate leg (113).

[0047] The first base (111), the first outer leg (112), and the first middle leg (113) can each be formed as blocks. The blocks can be formed using magnetic powder, and the blocks can be assembled to form the first core (110). At this time, each block can be a ferromagnetic block. Or, it can be a soft magnetic block. It goes without saying that the first base (111), the first outer leg (112), and the first middle leg (113) can be formed as a single unit.

[0048] The second core (120) includes a second base (121), a second outer leg (122), and a second middle leg (123).

[0049] The second base (121) may have a plate shape. A second outer leg (122) and a second middle leg (123) may be extended and arranged from the second base (121). The second outer leg (122) extends from an edge of one side of the second base (121) in a direction opposite to a first direction. Here, the direction opposite to the first direction may be a direction facing the first core (110). The second outer leg (122) may include two outer legs extending from one side of the second base (121) and the opposite side of the one side, that is, from both sides. The second middle leg (123) extends from the center of one side of the second base (121) in a direction opposite to the first direction. The cross-sectional area of ​​the second middle leg may be formed in a circular or rectangular shape. The second core (120) may include a second intermediate leg (123) in the center from the second base (121) and two second outer legs (122) arranged on both sides of the second intermediate leg (123).

[0050] The first core (110) and the second core (120) can be in contact with each other to form one core. The first outer leg (112) and the first middle leg (113) of the first core (110) can be in contact with and combined with the second outer leg (122) and the second middle leg (123) of the second core (120), respectively. Through this, a space surrounded by the first base (111), the first outer leg (112), the second base (121), and the second middle leg (122) can be formed. The first middle leg (113) and the second middle leg (123) can be positioned at the center of the space.

[0051] The second base (121), the second outer leg (122), and the second middle leg (123) can each be formed as blocks. The blocks can be formed using magnetic powder, and the blocks can be assembled to form the second core (120). At this time, each block can be a ferromagnetic block. Or, it can be a soft magnetic block. It goes without saying that the second base (121), the second outer leg (122), and the second middle leg (123) can be formed as a single unit.

[0052] The third core (130) includes a third base (131), a third outer leg (132), and a third middle leg (133).

[0053] The third base (131) may have a plate shape. A third outer leg (132) and a third intermediate leg (133) may be extended and arranged from the third base (131). The third outer leg (132) extends from an edge of one side of the third base (131) in a direction opposite to a first direction. Here, the direction opposite to the first direction may be a direction facing the second core (120). The third outer leg (132) may include two outer legs extending from one side of the third base (131) and the opposite side of the one side, that is, from both sides. The third intermediate leg (133) extends from the center of one side of the second base (121) in a direction opposite to the first direction. The cross-sectional area of ​​the third intermediate leg may be formed in a circular or rectangular shape. The third core (130) may include a third intermediate leg (133) in the center from the third base (131) and two third outer legs (132) arranged on either side of the third intermediate leg (133).

[0054] The third core (130) can be in contact with and coupled to the other surface of the second base (121) of the second core (120), so that the first core (110), the second core (120), and the third core (130) can form one core. The third outer leg (132) and the third middle leg (133) of the third core (130) can be in contact with and coupled to the other surface of the second base (121). Through this, a space surrounded by the second base (121), the third base (131), and the third outer leg (132) can be formed. The third middle leg (133) can be positioned at the center of the space.

[0055] The third base (131), the third outer leg (132), and the third middle leg (133) can each be formed as blocks. The blocks can be formed using magnetic powder, and the blocks can be assembled to form the third core (130). At this time, each block can be a ferromagnetic block. Or, it can be a soft magnetic block. It goes without saying that the third base (131), the third outer leg (132), and the third middle leg (133) can be formed as a single unit.

[0056] The first coil (141) is wound and arranged around the first intermediate leg (113) and the second intermediate leg (123).

[0057] The first coil (141) may be wound around the first intermediate leg (113) and the second intermediate leg (123). The first coil (141) may be a metal wire, for example, a copper wire. It may be formed in a shape that wraps around the first intermediate leg (113) and the second intermediate leg (123), thereby forming an inductor. The first coil (141) may be placed in a space formed by the first core (110) and the second core (120). The first coil (141) may be placed in a space surrounded by one surface of the first base (111), the inner surface of the first outer leg (112), one surface of the second base (121), and the inner surface of the second outer leg (122), and may be formed in a shape that wraps around the first intermediate leg (113) and the second intermediate leg (123) that are positioned at the center of the space and face each other and make contact.

[0058] The second coil (142) is wound around the third intermediate leg (133). The second coil (142) may be a metal wire, for example, a copper wire. It may be formed in a shape that wraps around the third intermediate leg (133), thereby forming an inductor. The second coil (142) may be placed in a space formed by the second base (121) of the second core (120) and the third core (130). The first coil (141) may be placed in a space surrounded by the other surface of the second base (121), one surface of the third base (131), and the inner surface of the third outer leg (132), and may be formed in a shape that wraps around the third intermediate leg (133) located at the center of the space.

[0059] The first coil (141) and the second coil (142) can be respectively placed on two spaces of one inductor core composed of the first core (110), the second core (120), and the third core (130). At this time, the first intermediate leg (113), the second intermediate leg (123), and the third intermediate leg (133) are connected in the form of one intermediate leg, so that the first coil (141) and the second coil (142) are magnetically coupled, thereby increasing the power density.

[0060] The first coil (141) and the second coil (142) may be spaced apart from each other by the second base (121). The first coil (141) and the second coil (142) may each form an inductor. The first coil (141) may be an inverter-side inductor coil, and the second coil (142) may be a grid-side inductor coil. As shown in Fig. 2, an LCL filter may be included between the inverter (210) and the grid (220). The LCL filter is a filter composed of an inverter-side inductor (151), a capacitor (170), and a grid-side inductor (152), and is a filter that can effectively attenuate current ripple and satisfy the current quality required by the grid (220). The first coil (141) may form an inverter-side inductor (151), and the second coil (142) may form a grid-side inductor (152).

[0061] The first coil (141) and the second coil (142) are arranged spaced apart from each other, but one of the two connecting lines drawn from each coil can be electrically connected to each other. At this time, the first coil (141) and the second coil (142) can be connected in series. The inverter side inductor (151) and the grid side inductor (152) can be connected in series, and the first coil (141) and the second coil (142) can also be connected in series.

[0062] The length of the second outer leg (122) in the first direction may be formed longer than the length of the third outer leg (132) in the first direction. The length of the first outer leg (112) in the first direction may be the same as the length of the second outer leg (122) in the first direction. The first core (110) and the second core (120) may be arranged to face each other in the arrangement direction, but their shapes may correspond to each other. As shown in Fig. 3, the length (F1) of the first outer leg (112) in the first direction may be the same as the length (F2) of the second outer leg (122) in the first direction, and the length (F2) of the second outer leg (122) in the first direction may be formed longer than the length (F3) of the third outer leg (132) in the first direction. The inductance capacity of the inverter side inductor (151) must be greater than the inductance capacity of the grid side inductor (152), and accordingly, the number of times the first coil (141) winds the first intermediate leg (113) and the second intermediate leg (123) must be greater than the number of times the second coil (142) winds the third intermediate leg (133), and the length (F2) of the second outer leg (122) in the first direction can be formed to be longer than the length (F3) of the third outer leg (132) in the first direction.

[0063] The thickness of the second intermediate leg (123) may be the same as the thickness of the third intermediate leg (133). The thickness (D2) of the third intermediate leg (133) around which the second coil (142) is wound may be formed to be the same as the thickness (D1) of the second intermediate leg (123) around which the first coil (141) is wound. Through this, in order to implement the inductance of the grid-side inductor (152), the number of times the second coil (142) is wound around the third intermediate leg (133) can be reduced.

[0064] As described above, the first core (110), the second core (120), and the third core (130) constitute one core, but two spaces are formed in which the first coil (141) and the second coil (142) are placed, thereby forming an integrated inductor in which two inductors are integrated.

[0065] Through this, it is possible to increase the inductance at the same size by utilizing the coupling of the core, maximize the quality of the current flowing into the system at the same power density, and increase the efficiency and power density of the power conversion circuit of the inverter.

[0072] The first coil (141) may be formed by being wound around the first intermediate leg (113) and the second intermediate leg (123), and the second coil (142) may be formed by being wound around the third intermediate leg (133). The first coil (141) may be arranged in a space surrounded by one surface of the first base (111), the inner surface of the first outer leg (112), one surface of the second base (121), and the inner surface of the second outer leg (122), and the second coil (142) may be arranged in a space surrounded by one surface of the third base (131), the inner surface of the third outer leg (132), and the other surface of the second base (121).

[0082] The sizes (unit: mm) of each of the two inductors (21, 22) that constitute the grid side inductor are as follows.

[0083] [Table 2]

[0084]

[0085] The sum of the core volumes of four inductors having that size can be 0.74 L.

[0086] In contrast, the core of the inductor according to the embodiment of the present invention is 70.6 x 89.6 mm, which is the same size as the inverter side inductor of Fig. 7. The sum of the core volumes of the two inductors is 0.64 L, which is a size reduction of about 14% compared to the comparative example of Fig. 7 that configures four separate inductors. That is, by forming two inductor cores with the same size inductor cores, it is possible to increase the inductance at the same size using the coupling of the cores, maximize the quality of the current flowing into the system at the same power density, and increase the efficiency and power density of the power conversion circuit of the inverter.
