Definitions
- This invention concerns a planar transformer of particular application in low-profile, switched power supply units that can attain working frequencies up to several megahertz.
- the transformers used are either of the traditional type, which have a high copper density and in which the problems resulting from winding non-repeatability are more obvious, or planar transformers, in which the wire turn repeatability problem has been overcome thanks to the perfect control of the wire turn shape in the manufacturing process, whereby there is no variation in parasitic effects.
- planar winding transformer of the invention consisting of a core of ferromagnetic material and windings formed by flat wire turns, is characterised in that each wire turn is an open ring of conductive material, coated with insulating material to isolate it electrically from the other wire turns. Thanks to this form of construction, the wire turns are easily reproduced without deviations occurring with respect to the original design.
- the open rings have at least two segments free of insulating material and they are joined together by a soldering process.
- This process is characterised in that the open rings are joined together electrically inside the window of the magnetic core with no requirement for external means such as interconnecting pins that make it necessary to form the connection outside the magnetic core window; or machining pre-processes, such as drilling the turns.
- This form of construction combines the advantages of the conventional transformers with those of planar transformers, like high conductive material density and winding repeatability, adding a simple method of interconnecting the wire turns within the transformer window and smaller size.
- the end wire turns of the windings are characterised in that they have an extension which is used as a transformer terminal, facilitating its connection to other components of the power supply module.
- the open rings are characterised in that they are circular when the core has a circular window, and to facilitate their assembly inside the core, they are characterised in that they have a notch at an angle that shifts progressively with respect to an origin, the opening of the rings of a winding forming a helix.
- the planar winding transformer of the invention is formed by a core (N) of ferromagnetic material in the window (V) of which are lodged the wire turns of the windings (D) of the transformer, as can be seen in figure 1.
- the wire turn is an open circular ring (E,C), as is shown in figure 2.
- the rings are of a conductive material and are isolated from each other by means of a coating of insulating material. To connect the rings (E,C) electrically to each other, the insulating material at their ends is removed and the rings (E,C) are joined by a soldering process for each winding (D), in such a way that the join is made within the transformer window (V).
- the soldering process takes place in an oven in which the rings (E,C) are placed mounted on a metallic piece or cylinder with the shape of the central part of the core (N) and which is equipped with a clamping mechanism. Once the rings have been positioned and placed under pressure on the device, the assembly is introduced into the oven for the wire turn soldering process to be carried out.
- the task of situating the rings on the cylinder is facilitated if the latter has a projection equivalent to the notch (H) which each ring (E,C) has.
- the notch (H) of each wire turn is shifted progressively by a determined angle from an origin whereby the openings of the rings (E,C) of each winding (D) form a helix, as can be seen from figure 3. Once the winding (D) has been formed, it is mounted inside the core.
- a series of notches (H) can be practised, incremented by a determined angle starting from a given origin.
- a core (N) is employed with an inside in the form of a polygon, the openings of the wire turns will also form a helix once the windings are constituted and mounted inside the core.
- the end rings (E) of each winding (D) are different from the internal rings (C) of the winding (D).
- the difference lies in that the end rings (E) have an extension (P) that facilitates the connection of the planar transformer to other elements in the power supply unit.
