Definitions

  • This invention relates to a process for the manufacture of planar transformers and a planar transformer manufactured by means of said process.
  • the object of this invention is to provide planar transformers of very small size and with a large capacity for insulation between layers, in particular between windings, offering the further possibility that they may be manufactured economically.
  • this invention discloses the manufacture of planar transformers comprising solely of windings and insulating layers of variable thickness according to the insulation between integrated circuits and/or windings manufactured by the punching of copper sheets or wound copper, ensuring that there is dielectric strength in the vertical direction.
  • Document US 5,317,300 describes a wholly conventional non-planar transformer with a coil, windings and terminals and a core formed by retention plates. Therefore it relates in fact to a transformer which belongs to a wholly separate stage in the development of transformers. It is cited because unlike the documents mentioned above it describes the total or partial encapsulation of the transformer with a thermoplastic material by injection.
  • manufacture of the planar transformer is effected through a series of successive operations which in total comprise:
  • the insulating layers In order to achieve good penetration by the resin, for example polyurethane, between the windings, it is necessary for the insulating layers to be of sufficient size to permit such penetration, in order to leave a larger region for penetration by the insulating resin.
  • the resin for example polyurethane
  • the box for moulding the assembly of windings, insulating plates and printed circuits may be incorporated in the transformer for the purpose of acting as an envelope for the assembly, although the transformer may be manufactured in the manner indicated within a metal or shell mould, in which case there is no outer box moulding the polyurethane resin.
  • Figure 1 illustrates the set of parts forming a planar transformer manufactured according to this invention, in which the relative position of a resin moulding box and the ferrite cores can be seen.
  • Figure 2 shows a cross-section of the planar transformer on a larger scale in which the moulding box is arranged in the form of a protective envelope.
  • Figure 3 illustrates a second cross-section of the planar transformer along a plane parallel to that in Figure 2.
  • Figure 4 shows a plan view
  • a planar transformer according to this invention comprises a set of interleaved windings and insulating layers stacked into an assembly joined together by a set of connecting pins as seen in Figure 1, in which may be seen the laminar printed circuit winding members -1- and -2- and intermediate windings -3- and -4-, punched from copper sheet or wound from the same material, the separators of insulating material -5-, -6-, -7-, -8- and -9- being located on each side of the said members and having surface dimensions which are smaller than those of printed circuit windings -1- and -2-.
  • the arrangement is that which may be seen in Figures 2 and 3, in which the arrangement of the windings, printed circuit boards and separators can be seen, fixed in position through a variable number of through pins, with the pins represented by the numbers -10-, -10'-, -10"- ..., as may be seen in Figure 1, it being understood that their number and arrangement will depend on the circuits enclosed.
  • These pins are inserted in the corresponding orifices in the printed circuit boards and winding boards as indicated for example by numbers -11-, - 11'-, -11"- ... in printed circuit board -1- and numbers -12- and -12'- in winding -3-.
  • pins are attached to the said panels and windings in ways which are known in the art, for example by cold welding, cementing masses or other means.
  • the assembly is embedded in a mass of insulating resin, for example polyurethane, which can be achieved by casting in an external or "shell” mould or using a box of appropriate structure -13-, which has an external shape matching that of the printed circuit boards, with lateral steps such as -14- and -15- to match lateral notches -16- and -17- of the said printed circuit boards and an extended central core -18- designed to coincide with the central openings of the said stacked members, that is, printed circuit boards, windings and insulating separators.
  • insulating resin for example polyurethane
  • ferrite cores -19- and -20- are attached, being joined by laminar insulating members fitted externally thereto or by any other means known in the art.
  • Figure 4 illustrates a plan view of an embodiment of a planar transformer manufactured in accordance with this invention, in which will be seen enclosing box -13- incorporated in the mass of polyurethane resin, forming end blocks -21- and -34- which are interconnected by portions -22- and -23- of which only the beginning can be seen in Figure 4, edging the central opening -25-.
  • the ends of the connecting pins extend beyond the block of polyurethane resin, being represented by the numbers -26-, -27-, -28- and -29- in the case of block -20- and pins -30-, -31-, -32- and -33- in the case of block -21-, although it should be understood that the number and arrangement of the said pins may vary with the specific design of the planar transformer.
