Meanwhile, two adjacent winding coils 21 of the radiating fins 33 are in contact with the radiating fins 33, and the radiating fins 33 support the corresponding winding coils 21, so that the size of the gap 1 can be controlled by the structure of the radiating piece 30, the heat of each part of the winding 20 is uniformly radiated, and the problem of overlarge difference of radiating conditions caused by the uncontrollable gap 1 between the winding coils 21 is solved.
In one embodiment, heat sink 30 is made of an insulating material. For example, the heat sink 30 may be formed by injection molding or other processes using a polymer material such as plastic or rubber, so as to reduce the mass of the heat sink 30 and simplify the manufacturing process of the heat sink 30, and the polymer material may have the characteristic of easy processing, so that the shape of the heat sink 30 may be adjusted according to actual needs. The heat sink 30 may also be made of inorganic non-metallic materials such as ceramics by slip casting or the like.
In one embodiment, the heat sink 30 is made of metal and the outer surface of the metal is covered with an insulating layer. The type of the metal material is not particularly limited herein, and may be iron, copper, aluminum, or the like as long as it can be molded. The insulating layer may be made of an insulating material such as plastic, rubber, or fiber, as long as the surface of the heat sink 30 is insulated.
In one embodiment, with reference to fig. 2, in the first direction X, the thicknesses of the plurality of heat dissipation fins 33 are the same, and the distance between every two adjacent heat dissipation fins 33 is the same as the thickness of the winding coil 21 in the first direction X. That is to say, the plurality of heat dissipation fins 33 have the same thickness, and the distance between every two adjacent heat dissipation fins 33 is also the same, and the plurality of heat dissipation fins 33 are uniformly arranged on the body 32 along the first direction X. When the heat sink 30 is mounted on the winding 20 and the heat dissipating fins 33 are inserted into the corresponding gaps 1, the heat dissipating fins 33 also support the winding coils 21, so that the distance between every two adjacent winding coils 21 is equal, and the layers of winding coils 21 are uniformly distributed in the first direction X. Therefore, the heat dissipation areas and the heat dissipation spaces of the plurality of layers of winding coils 21 are the same, the heat dissipation of the winding 20 at each position in the first direction X is uniform, and the instability of the working performance of the power inductor 100 caused by overheating at a certain position of the winding 20 is avoided.
Referring to fig. 1 and 3, in an embodiment, the plurality of heat dissipation fins 33 includes a first heat dissipation fin 331 and a second heat dissipation fin 332, the second heat dissipation fin 332 is located at a middle position of the body 32, and a thickness of the second heat dissipation fin 332 is greater than a thickness of the first heat dissipation fin 331 in the first direction X. Specifically, the first heat dissipation fins 331 are located at positions close to the two ends of the body 32 and distributed at two sides of the area where the second heat dissipation fins 332 are located. That is, in the first direction X, the thickness of the heat radiating fins 33 located at both ends of the body 32 is small, and the thickness of the heat radiating fins 33 located at the middle of the body 32 is large. When the heat dissipating fins 33 are inserted into the gap 1 in a one-to-one correspondence, the distance between two adjacent winding coils 21 located in the middle of the winding 20 is large, and the distance between two adjacent winding coils 21 located at opposite ends of the winding 20 in the first direction X is small. Since more heat is easily accumulated in the middle of the winding 20, the thickness of the second heat dissipation fin 332 is set to be greater than that of the first heat dissipation fin 331, so that the distance between two adjacent winding coils 21 in the middle of the winding 20 can be increased, the winding coils 21 in the middle of the winding 20 have a larger heat dissipation space and a larger contact area, and the heat dissipation efficiency of the winding coils 21 in the middle of the winding 20 is improved.
Referring to fig. 1 and 2, in one embodiment, the body 32 is attached to the outer peripheral surface of the winding coil 21, and the heat dissipation fins 33 are inserted into the gap 1 from the outer peripheral surface of the winding coil 21.
Specifically, the first side surface 321 of the body 32 is attached to the outer peripheral surface of the winding coil 21, the second side surface 322 is exposed outside the power inductor, the heat of the winding coil 21 and the magnetic core column 11 is transferred to the body 32 by the heat dissipation fins 32, the body 11 sucks away the heat on the winding coil 21 through the first side surface 321, and then the heat is dissipated through the second side surface 322 of the body 32, so that the power inductor 100 can dissipate heat timely and effectively. In the present embodiment, the contour of the first side 321 of the body 32 corresponds to the contour of the outer peripheral surface of the winding coil 21. For example, when the outline of the outer circumferential surface of the winding coil 21 is an arc shape, the portion of the first side surface 321 contacting the winding coil 21 is an arc surface matching the arc shape, so that the body 32 is tightly matched with the outer circumferential surface of the winding coil 21, the contact area between the body 32 and the coil is increased, and thus more heat on the winding coil 21 can be transferred to the body 32 and then transferred from the body 32 to the outside, and the heat dissipation efficiency of the power inductor 100 is further increased.
The free end part 333 of the heat radiation fin 33 is inserted into the gap 1 from the outer peripheral surface of the winding coil 21, and the heat radiation fin 33 is in contact with the winding coil 21, so that the heat on the winding coil 21 can be transmitted to the heat radiation fin 33, then transmitted to the outside by the heat radiation fin 33 or transmitted to the body 32, and transmitted to the outside by the body 32, thereby increasing the heat radiation efficiency of the winding coil 21. In this embodiment, after the free end portions 333 of the heat dissipation fins 33 are inserted into the gap 1, the free end portions contact with the outer peripheral surface of the core column 11, so that the heat on the core column 11 can be directly transmitted to the heat dissipation fins 33 and then transmitted to the outside by the heat dissipation fins 33, thereby increasing the heat dissipation efficiency of the power inductor 100. In the present embodiment, the shape and contour of the end 333 of the heat dissipating fin 33 correspond to the contour of the core leg 11. For example, when the contour of the outer peripheral surface of the magnetic core pillar 11 is an arc shape, the shape contour of the end part 333 of the heat dissipation fin 33 is closely fitted to the arc shape to increase the contact area between the heat dissipation fin 33 and the main body 32 of the magnetic core pillar 11, so that the heat on the magnetic core pillar 11 can be more effectively transmitted to the main body 32 for heat dissipation, and the heat dissipation efficiency of the power inductor 100 is further increased.
In one embodiment, the heat dissipation fins 33 at both ends of the heat dissipation member 30 are in contact with the surfaces of the core top cover 12 and the core bottom cover 13 to insulate the windings 20 from the magnetic core 10. That is, among the heat dissipation fins 33 located at both ends of the heat dissipation member 30, the heat dissipation fin 33 near the core top cover 12 extends between the core top cover 12 and the winding coil 21 to insulate the winding 20 from the core top cover 12, and the heat dissipation fin 33 near the core bottom cover 13 extends between the core bottom cover 13 and the winding coil 21 to insulate the winding 20 from the core bottom cover 13. Meanwhile, the free ends of the other heat dissipation fins 33 abut against the outer peripheral surface of the magnetic core column 11, so that an insulation gap is formed between the winding 20 and the magnetic core column 11, and the heat dissipation between the winding 20 and the magnetic core 10 is realized through the heat dissipation member 30 without additionally arranging an insulation member, so that the structure of the power inductor 100 can be simplified.
Referring to fig. 4, in one embodiment, the heat dissipation portion 31 further includes a heat dissipation structure 34 located outside the winding coil 21. When the main body 32 is attached to the outer peripheral surface of the winding coil 21 and the heat dissipation fins 33 are inserted into the gap 1 from the outer peripheral surface of the winding coil 21, the heat dissipation structure 34 is protruded on the other side surface of the main body 32 opposite to the heat dissipation fins 33. That is, the heat dissipation structure 34 is protruded from the second side 322. In this embodiment, the heat dissipation structure 34 may be formed by a plurality of heat dissipation teeth arranged along the first direction X on the second side 322 of the body 32, and the heat dissipation structure 34 extends from the body 32 toward the winding 20. A part of the heat generated by the winding coil 21 is transmitted to the heat dissipation fins 33, then transmitted to the body 32 by the heat dissipation fins 33, then transmitted to the heat dissipation structure 34 by the body 32, and dissipated to the outside by the heat dissipation structure 34. By providing the heat dissipation structure 34, the contact area with the outside is increased, and the heat dissipation area of the heat dissipation member 30 is increased, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the heat dissipation member 30.

In the present embodiment, the second side surface 322 is bonded to the outer peripheral surface of the core leg 11, and the first side surface 321 is bonded to the inner peripheral surface of the winding coil 21. The heat on the magnetic core upright post 11 can be directly transferred to the body 32 through the second side surface 322, transferred to the heat dissipation fins 33 from the body 32, and dissipated by the portions of the heat dissipation fins 33 exposed outside the winding 20. The heat on the winding coil 21 can also be directly transmitted to the body 32 through the first side surface 322, and is transferred from the body 32 to the heat dissipation fins 33, the heat on the winding coil 21 can also be transferred to the heat dissipation fins 33 in contact with the heat dissipation fins, and the heat dissipation fins 33 dissipate heat through the parts exposed outside the winding 20, thereby achieving effective heat dissipation of the power inductor 100. In another embodiment, second side surface 322 may have a gap with the outer peripheral surface of core leg 11, and first side surface 321 may have a gap with the inner peripheral surface of winding coil 21.

When the outline of the outer circumferential surface of the winding coil 21 is an arc, the outline of the shape of the portion of the first side surface 321 in contact with the winding coil 21 is an arc surface in arc fit with the arc, so that the body 32 is tightly fitted with the outer circumferential surface of the winding coil 21, the contact area between the body 32 and the winding coil 21 is increased, heat on the winding coil 21 can be more effectively transmitted to the body 32 for heat dissipation, and the heat dissipation efficiency of the power inductor 100 is further increased.
The heat radiation fins 33 are inserted into the gap 1 from the inner peripheral surface of the winding coil 21 and protrude out of the winding 20 through the outer peripheral surface. The heat radiating fins 33 are in contact with the winding coil 21 so that heat on the winding coil 21 can be transferred to the heat radiating fins 33 and then transferred to the outside by the heat radiating fins 33, increasing the heat radiating efficiency of the winding coil 21. In this embodiment, the heat dissipating fins 33 directly extend out of the winding 20 and are exposed in the external environment, the area contacting the external air is large, and the heat transmitted from the magnetic core column 11 and the winding 20 to the heat dissipating fins 33 can be transmitted to the outside more quickly and efficiently, so that the heat dissipating efficiency of the power inductor 100 is further improved.
