Definitions

  • the invention relates to magnetic cores for inductive components according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such magnetic cores are for example from US 3,543,249A known.
  • a special design and also the subject of the invention are cores with an air gap, in which the magnetic flux thus leaves the magnetic material at least once within the magnetic circuit.
  • cores with an air gap for slotted ring band, oval band, rectangular cores or similar If the air gap is small compared with the so-called iron path length located in the magnetic material, then the magnetic path in the magnetic material and thus the core must be curved.
  • the magnetic core In rod cores, the magnetic core is elongated, the magnetic flux exits at least partially from the rod ends and is returned by the environment, here is the path length in non-magnetic medium (eg air) longer than in the magnetic material.
  • non-magnetic medium eg air
  • other mixed forms eg U-Kexne. In all these forms, the flow does not occur only at the core ends (facing the air gap), but also at the sides. In the case of the realization of the core of elongate sheet-like or fibrous elements considered here, flow thus occurs not only from the end faces of the elements, but also from the side surfaces, which leads to additional problems in comparison to the known solid, isotropic magnetic materials.
  • the invention thus relates to all open (the magnetic flux exits the magnetic material at least once) magnetic cores made of laminated magnetic elements. Because of their ease of presentation and their greatest relevance, rod kernels will be considered below.
  • the embodiments may e.g. be transformed to slotted toroidal cores by the rod core is curved so that the rod ends face each other.
  • Bar cores are used, for example, as an antenna core. They bundle the magnetic flux more effectively in both transmit and receive antennas than in air coils.
  • Such an effective effect of a magnetic core in conjunction with a winding surrounding it is necessary, for example, for achieving an optimized transmission or reception power. This may be necessary, for example, for the transmission of information, but also for the transmission of energy.
  • Corresponding inductive components are used both in anti-theft, identification and access systems for exchanging information over distances of about 5 m, as well as for inductive energy transmission, such as battery charging (cf. GB 2388715 A ) or for energy supply of sensors or actuators (cf. US 3938018 ).
  • the design of the antenna and its control is crucial.
  • a maximum flux must be generated in the magnetic core.
  • Core core losses or losses in the antenna coils due to ohmic power, Proximity effect etc. are to be minimized in order to optimize the efficiency as a result.
  • re-magnetization losses would also lead to a self-heating of the magnetic core in addition to a reduction of the transmission power, which can lead to damage to the winding or other components in its environment.
  • Such a magnetic core as is required for an antenna, is usually constructed as a rod core in the form of a cuboid, which is surrounded by one or more coils.
  • the flow mostly comes from the end faces in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the cuboid, but partly also from the side faces and especially at the edges of the core ends. In these areas of the corners and edges at the core end, there is usually a flux concentration and thus an overload by saturation. It is the solution known to bevel the edges ( EP 762535 B1 ).
  • ferrites or soft magnetic metals are known as material for the magnetic core.
  • Such materials are typically homogeneous and i-sotropic such that the permeability is a scalar and not a tensor 2nd stage. This means that the flux in the magnetic core propagates in a straight line and according to an expected field in air.
  • Typical magnetic reversal losses can be described in metallic material in the frequency range to be considered here, which is for example between 15 and 150 kHz, by the formula: P ⁇ B 2 f 2 d 2 .
  • B induction amplitude
  • f frequency
  • d spatial extent, ie smallest diameter of the eddy current path.
  • the present invention has the object of a magnetic core to designed to be particularly efficient in terms of the prevention of eddy current losses or Ummagnetmaschineswen and on a uniform distribution of the flow to avoid saturation effects. Furthermore, the invention has for its object to provide an arrangement with a magnetic core according to the invention, which allows a particularly effective use as an inductive element for an antenna or similar device.
  • the invention is based on the finding that both eddy current losses can be effectively limited, and the flux distribution to the various magnetic elements within a magnetic core can be optimized if the elements are not equal to one another, d. H. If at least one of the magnetic elements differs from the rest by the presence, nature and location of incisions in the magnetic elements.
  • Magnetic cores and arrangements according to the invention are suitable for a frequency range of 5 kHz to 10 MHz, in particular from 15 kHz to 150 kHz. In this area, the advantages of the invention are also particularly effective.
  • the outer magnetic elements in rod-shaped elements around the outer layer in strip or band-shaped elements, the two outer bands are provided with a lower material permeability than the other bands, so pull the centrally arranged magnetic elements by their higher permeability of the incoming flow at.
  • the overloaded by the obliquely incident in the side surfaces of the magnetic core flow components outer magnetic elements are relieved and this leads to an overall homogenization of the flow distribution.
  • This design can also be modified to increase the material permeability continuously or in stages from the outside to the inside of the individual magnetic elements.
  • the magnetic elements are expediently arranged so that the outer shortened magnetic elements of the bundle remain symmetrically at both ends behind the ends of the centrally arranged magnetic elements. It can also be provided that not only the outermost magnetic elements are shortened, but that from the inside to the outside or from the center to a side in band-shaped magnetic elements or on both sides of a continuous shortening of the magnetic elements is provided.
  • a magnetic core which consists of band-shaped magnetic elements having different dimensions.
  • this measure is not related to an improvement in the power loss associated there and there is a yoke body for a transformer, the magnetic elements also differ not in length, but the width.
  • the outer of the magnetic elements (in rod-shaped magnetic elements, the radially outermost layer, in the case of strip-shaped magnetic elements, the two outer layers) are curved away from the central longitudinal axis of the magnetic core at their ends.
  • the magnetic core is particularly well adapted to the typical fan-shaped flow pattern of a dipole field outside the magnetic core. Obliquely entering into the end face of the magnetic core flux lines meet almost perpendicular to the end faces of the fan-shaped expanded magnetic elements, if they have as usual cuboid or cylindrical shape. This has, as described above, advantageous effects on the reduction of eddy current losses and on a uniform distribution of the flux density across the cross section of the magnetic core.
  • the magnetic core can be designed so that only the outer layer of the magnetic elements is correspondingly curved, but it can also be provided that from the outer layer towards the center, the individual magnetic elements have a decreasing curvature away from the longitudinal axis, so that in a longitudinal section results in a typical fan-shaped course of the magnetic elements, either in three dimensions in rod-shaped magnetic elements or in only two dimensions in strip or band-shaped magnetic elements.
  • the magnetic elements are formed in the outermost position or at the greatest distance from the central longitudinal axis of the magnetic core thinner or with a smaller cross-sectional area than the central magnetic elements of the magnetic core.
  • the outermost magnetic elements may be provided that only the outermost magnetic elements differ from the others with regard to the thickness or the cross section or, on the other hand, that a stepwise or more or less continuous increase in the thickness of the individual magnetic elements is provided from outside to inside.
  • the outer magnetic elements may be in a magnetic core, the outer magnetic elements have a lower material permeability than the inner and at the same time be bent outwardly at their ends.
  • the thickness of the individual magnetic elements can decrease toward the outside.
  • thin strip conductors for example, which are present as nanocrystalline, soft-magnetic materials and, for example, can also be produced in rapid solidification technology, can be kept in stock with correspondingly different features.
  • different magnetic elements are then assembled in terms of material permeability, thickness and length. It is also possible to keep already pre-curved magnetic elements in stock.
  • curvature of the ends of magnetic elements it may also be provided, after the assembly of a magnetic core, to fan out the outer magnetic elements at their ends by a tool and thereby to produce a corresponding curvature away from the longitudinal axis.
  • the features mentioned can also be asymmetrically distributed in a magnetic core, in order to take account of corresponding ambient conditions which produce an asymmetrical flux distribution.
  • Another advantage is the reduction in effective bandwidth in areas where flux components enter the tape layers vertically. For these components, it is not the strip thickness that determines the re-magnetization losses, but the width, which must then be used in the formula given above for the losses for the bandwidth.
  • the interruption of the eddy current paths is sufficient, ie in the simplest case a cutting of the tape layers parallel to the tape longitudinal axis. Ideal, but technically more difficult is the cutting exactly along the field lines, ie obliquely away from the belt center axis.
  • the reduction in losses is particularly effective when the resulting bandwidth is small, technically feasible e.g. in the order of 0.3-2 mm.
  • a noticeable reduction can be achieved even if e.g. a 12 mm wide strip is divided into three.
  • the potential for improvement increases with increasing frequency: at e.g. 10 kHz, with the same subdivision, a lower benefit is achieved than with e.g. 1 MHz.
  • the division can be done in addition to cutting by sawing, etching, eroding, etc. Of course, this measure can be combined as desired with all other measures mentioned.
  • an inductive element is constructed with the magnetic core according to the invention and a coil in the form of a winding
  • the effect according to the invention can be enhanced by virtue of the winding density being applied to at least one of the ends of the winding
  • Magnetic core increases and / or the winding extends beyond one of the ends of the magnetic core addition.
  • an asymmetrical variant of the magnetic core is designed and arranged with respect to the asymmetric magnetic field, that on the one hand the entry of flux lines through lateral boundary surfaces of the magnetic core minimized and on the other hand, the distribution of the flow on the cross section of the magnetic core as a whole is made as uniform as possible.
  • This is the case, for example, in arrangements in which a transmitting antenna and a receiving antenna are located at a small distance in order to transmit energy, for example for charging a battery, via an air gap.
  • the resulting magnetic field profile is highly asymmetrical and this fact can be taken into account by the embodiment described.
  • a magnetic core consisting of band-shaped or strip-shaped magnet elements in such a way that they lie obliquely on one side of the magnet core in its side surfaces entering flux lines on the narrow sides of the corresponding belt-shaped magnetic elements.
  • the magnetic core only needs to be aligned so that the interfaces between the band-shaped magnetic elements are aligned parallel to the incident flux lines.
  • the thickened ends act as a kind of pole piece through which flow lines increasingly enter the respective magnetic element.
  • Such thickened at the ends of magnetic elements may be arranged in particular in the inner region of a magnetic core to capture in this area a particularly large number of flux lines and thus to equalize the flux density, since in the outer region, the magnetic elements, as described above, additionally capture the obliquely incoming flow lines.
  • the outer magnetic elements are thinned at their ends, so that as a whole results in a cuboid cross-section of the magnetic core.
  • the described thickening of individual magnetic elements can be provided without problems, in particular when the ends are fanned out, when they are curved away from the longitudinal axis of the magnetic core.
  • FIG. 1 shows a magnetic core 1, which is made as a laminate of many rectangular, equal-sized, strip-shaped magnetic elements 2 to 8, which are connected, for example, with the interposition of thin plastic layers by means of adhesive.
  • the individual magnetic elements 2 to 8 may consist, for example, of an amorphous or nanocrystalline metallic material having soft-magnetic properties, from which high-performance magnets can be produced.
  • Such magnetic cores can be used to form inductive components, for example using a surrounding winding.
  • a component for an antenna for transmitting information or for transmitting energy can serve such powerful magnetic cores.
  • FIG. 2a schematically shows in this respect a simple structure with a magnetic core 1 ', which is surrounded by a winding 9 with the two terminals 10, 11.
  • the flux lines 12, 13, 14 are shown, which correspond to the course of a normal magnetic dipole field.
  • the longitudinal axis 15 of the magnetic core is registered.
  • FIG. 2b the same magnetic core 1 'is shown, wherein the laminated construction is not shown separately, and wherein in addition to the magnetic core on the left side another soft magnetic body 16 is drawn with high permeability, which attracts the magnetic flux.
  • another soft magnetic body 16 is drawn with high permeability, which attracts the magnetic flux.
  • Figure 2c shows the magnetic core 1 'in an arrangement with a non-magnetic metal plate 17, which displaces the magnetic flux due to the induced in the metallic body eddy currents, which counteract the magnetic field. Accordingly, the flux lines 18 preferably close over the air gap via the right side of the magnetic core 1 '.
  • Figure 2d shows the magnetic core 1 'in an annular configuration with a gap in the vicinity of which flow lines 19 emerge from the core material.
  • FIG. 3b shows a similar distribution of flux lines in a magnetic core 28, which is composed of individual band-shaped magnetic elements 29, 30. It can be seen that in the outer region of the magnetic core 28, the distribution of the flux lines 31, 32 approximately equal to the distribution in a solid magnetic core as in FIG. 3a shown corresponds.
  • the eddy current losses which typically occur due to magnetization reversal are caused in each case by the annular flow of electrical currents perpendicular to the direction of flow in the material.
  • the eddy current paths, which in the FIG. 4 are designated 33, 34, have substantially circular shape and the loss occurring is proportional to the square of the maximum for an eddy current path available diameter d ', d ".
  • Magnetic elements in strip or strip form are available in thicknesses of less than 10 ⁇ m. Typical are thicknesses between 10 and 30 microns.
  • the aim of the various measures according to the invention is to concentrate the flow within the magnetic core substantially in flow directions extending longitudinally thereof and to distribute the flow to the individual magnetic elements as evenly as possible.
  • FIG. 5a a magnetic core 70 for a symmetrical dipole field in which the outer band layers are shortened with respect to the inner ones. Accordingly, obliquely entering into the core flow lines do not enter all in the lateral boundary surface of the outermost magnetic element 35, but partially also in the second outermost magnetic element 36, where it projects beyond the outermost magnetic element 35.
  • the same distribution is shown on the other side of the longitudinal axis 37, so that ademandbau- ⁇ Trent the distribution of the flux density is achieved on the various magnetic elements 35, 36 and in particular - unlike the prior art in FIG. 3b shown - are also distributed obliquely incident components on different magnetic elements. This also results in an effective distribution of the power loss and thus a lower probability of local overheating of the magnetic core.
  • FIG. 5b shows a stepped structure with a trapezoidal longitudinal sectional view of a magnetic core 70 ', which is useful when the corresponding magnetic core is to be used in an asymmetric magnetic field.
  • the flux density above the magnetic body is substantially greater than below, for example because above the magnetic body, a soft magnetic further body is positioned, which is not shown.
  • the differences in length between the individual magnetic elements 35, 36 can vary over the entire stack of a magnetic core more than 5%, in particular more than 10%.
  • FIG. 6a shows a variant in which the ends of the magnetic elements are curved away from the longitudinal axis 41 in a core 80 of magnetic elements 38, 39, 40.
  • This allows the flow lines 42, 43 an entrance preferably in the end faces of the magnetic elements 38, 40, so that there the flow within the respective magnetic element initially extends in the longitudinal direction and corresponding eddy current losses are kept low.
  • the flux then substantially follows its curvature, so that the flux lines are also bundled with the centered in the center magnetic elements.
  • the body 44 may be a nonmagnetic metal plate that displaces the magnetic flux so that the density of the magnetic flux above the magnetic core 80 'is greater than below.
  • the lowermost magnetic element 45 may then be formed straight, the magnetic elements 46, 47 arranged above are each curved at their ends away from the longitudinal axis of the magnetic core in order to allow an optimized entry of the flux lines into the magnetic elements.
  • FIG. 1 Another variant of the embodiment of the invention is intended in connection with the FIG. 1 be explained in the geometrically similar magnetic elements 2 to 8 are layered according to the prior art.
  • these magnetic elements 2 to 8 can also be equipped with different material permeability, wherein either only the outermost, 2 and 8 are provided with a reduced material permeability or more of the magnetic elements 2 to 8 are provided from the inside to the outside with decreasing material permeability.
  • the highest material permeability should be achieved in the central area of the stack, for example in the magnetic elements 4, 5 and 6.
  • the differences between the permeabilities ( ⁇ max - ⁇ min) should be at least 10% over the entire core, preferably more than 100% relative to the average Permeability.
  • the central magnetic elements because of their higher permeability, attract the flow more strongly, so that the effect that the laterally incident flow is additionally captured in the outer magnetic elements is somewhat compensated. Thereby, a uniform distribution of the flow can be achieved on the cross section of the magnetic core.
  • Figure 7a In order to achieve optimized magnetic properties, a magnetic core consisting of magnetic elements of different thicknesses decreases, the thickness decreasing from the inside to the outside. The outermost magnetic element 48 is thus thinner than the remaining magnetic elements.

It can also be provided that only certain of the magnetic elements have corresponding thickenings, namely those magnetic elements into which the flow is to be preferably directed, for example, only the centrally arranged magnetic elements.
  • the magnetic elements each increase in thickness from its center with respect to the length towards the ends and that in the stack and magnetic elements are provided with different contour to this in the Compensate total stack and come to a cuboid magnetic body.
  • the magnetic elements becoming thicker towards their end would optimally be arranged in the center of the stack, while the magnetic elements becoming thinner towards their ends should be provided in the outer layers in order to achieve a uniform flux distribution with low power loss.
  • FIG. 8a shows a stack of magnetic elements 52, 53 which form a magnetic core 90, wherein in the outermost magnetic element 52 incisions 54, 55 are provided, which completely pass through the magnetic element 52 perpendicular to its band plane.
  • FIG. 8b shows a further development in which cuts in the longitudinal direction of the magnetic elements enforce them all, which here leads to a bundle of rod-shaped magnetic elements or magnetic elements of smaller width, which are arranged above and next to each other.
  • FIG. 9 shows two measures that can be provided in an inventive arrangement with a magnetic core 58 and a winding 59. Since at the end of a winding, especially when it does not coincide with the end of the magnetic core, especially many flux lines emerge laterally from the magnetic core, this area is particularly critical for the unwanted flux components perpendicular to the side surfaces of the magnetic core. It may therefore be provided on the one hand, as is the case at the upper end of the coil 59 shown, to guide the winding beyond the end of the magnetic core. This can be done, for example, that the magnetic core is surrounded by a sleeve on which the winding is wound and which projects beyond this at both ends or at one end of the magnetic core.
