- Patent application
EP 2 395 521 A1 is disclosing is disclosing a transformer-core comprising three hollow-cylindrical rectangular shaped core-parts wound from an amorphous magnetic band-like material, wherein two opposed limb areas and an upper and lower yoke area are formed along a circumferential path, wherein the core-parts comprise one first and at least one second slanted area parallel to the circumferential path in the belonging limb area and wherein the at least three core-parts are connected according to a polygonal layout at their belonging first slanted areas which are arranged adjacently face to face. - Patent application
KR 101 026 357 B1 - Based on this state of the art it is the objective of the invention to provide a polygonal transformer core, especially an amorphous polygonal transformer core, with increased mechanical stability. This problem is solved by a transformer core of the aforementioned kind. This is characterized in that at least one flat plate is foreseen in each limb area, which is connected even and stiff with a respective adjacent slanted area.
- The basic idea of this invention consists in increasing the mechanical stability respectively stiffness of such a transformer core by connecting a flat plate on a belonging slanted area, which is characterized by a reduced mechanical stability compared to a non-slanted area. Thus the flat plate and the slanted area have to be adapted concerning their basic shape. Of course it is also possible to connect a bended plate on a belonging bended slanted area. Due to the design of the core according to a polygonal - preferably triangular - layout the width of the wound magnetic band-like material varies from layer to layer in a way that a belonging cross section with a non-rectangular shape is formed. Preferably the cross section in the limb area of a belonging core part is shaped in that way that no or at least nearly no gap is built inbetween first slanted areas of adjacent core parts. Thus the adjacent core-parts are easier and more stable to connect on one side and on the other side the magnetic active cross section of a limb, which is formed by two belonging limb sections of adjacent core-parts, is increased. A core part with round corners, that's layout corresponds more to an oval than to a rectangular shape has also to be seen as rectangular shaped within the frame of this invention. In the easiest case, the magnetic band-like material is comparable to typical metal sheets of stacked transformer cores and has a thickness of for example 0,2mm or 0,3mm. Also in this case the mechanical stability of a wound core-part is reduced compared to a stacked transformer core and is stabilized in an advantageous way by the invention.
- The principles of a transformer core according to the invention can also be used for a reactor core for example.
- The wound magnetic band-like material is an amorphous material, which is significantly more fragile than comparable shaped metal sheets. Moreover, the thickness of layers of such amorphous material is significantly lower, for example 30µm or less. Thus the effect of mechanical stabilization of an amorphous core-part according to the invention is once more increased.
- According to a preferred embodiment of the invention at least one plate is connected even and stiff at least on one of their both flat sides with the belonging adjacent slanted area by a glued bond. A glue based connection is rather easy to manufacture whereas at least most of the layers of the wound band-like material are fixed therewith. Thus a vibration of the layers is reduced in an advantageous way and the mechanical stability is increased. Glue in its liquid state is filling any unevenness on the slanted areas and enables a mechanical connection with a high mechanical stability. According to a certain embodiment of the invention, the flat plate connected to a slanted area of a core-part comprises some holes, long-holes or other cut-outs.
- The mechanical stability is not reduced therewith, but the weight of the transformer is reduced in an advantageous way therewith.
- The belonging first slanted areas are connected even and stiff with a belonging flat plate. The mechanical stabilizing effect of a plate is highest at the first slanted areas since also the connection inbetween adjacent core-parts are realized by using those first areas. Such a connection could be realized for example by a tape-like material, which is wound around adjacent core sections of adjacent core-parts so that a permanent pressure force is applied on adjacent plates.
- Following another embodiment of the invention adjacent first slanted areas are connected even and stiff to the same plate inbetween them. Such connection could be realized for examples from both sides by a glue bond. Thus the mechanical stability of the transformer core will be once more increased. It is not required to reopen such a core for arranging a coil on a belonging transformer limb since a conductor of such a coil can also be wound around a limb of a closed core.
- According to a further embodiment of the invention adjacent first slanted areas are connected even and stiff to belonging individual and stacked plates inbetween them. Thus each belonging first area of a transformer-part is connected to an individual flat plate, whereas the belonging plates are arranged face to face, respectively optionally with one or more additional plates inbetween them. Thus each core-part with connected flat plates thereon can be manufactured separately whereas the core-parts can be connected later on.
- The process of manufacturing the transformer core is simplified therewith in an advantageous way.
- According to another embodiment of the invention the individual and stacked plates are connected by a glued bond, screws or welding. All kinds of connections provide a high mechanical stability, whereas a screw connection is resolvable, so that the core could become demounted.
- At least one plate is connected even and stiff to a first slanted area and is extending over the dimension of the respective first area so that an overlaying area is formed. Since the desired magnetic characteristics of an amorphous transformer core strongly depend of not exceeding a certain temperature range, an adequate cooling of the transformer is required. By forming such overlapping areas, an additional surface for heat exchange with the environment is gained.
- According to another embodiment of the invention at least one extending plate is bent in the overlaying area. Thus the mechanical stability of such a plate, for example connected to a respective first slanted area, is increased once again. Furthermore an additional cooling effect is gained with less required space.
- Of course it is also possible to shape the cross sections of the yokes in a comparable way than the limbs and arrange plates thereon. The advantages of those plates are comparable to the advantages connected to slanted areas at the limb sections.
- According to another embodiment of the invention the limbs formed in the respective limb areas are surrounded by respective second slanted areas which are connected even and stiff with belonging plates. Connecting also the second slanted areas, which are forming the outer surface of a limb composed from two limb areas, will additionally increase the mechanical stability of the transformer core. Furthermore a mechanical protection of the limb is provided therewith. Such a protection is of special interest, if the conductor of a belonging coil is wound around the limb of a ready manufactured transformer coil. In this case rotating movement is applied on the coil
- to be wound, which is sliding on the surface of the limb. The limb is protected against such a sliding movement therewith.
- According to a further embodiment of the invention adjacent second slanted areas are connected even and stiff with a common plate. Thus a common plate is overlapping slanted areas of both adjacent core-parts so that the mechanical connection of the core-parts is improved therewith. According to a further embodiment of the invention the common plate is bent, so that an angle inbetween two adjacent slanted areas is compensated therewith. It has to be avoided, that an electrical conducting loop around the circumference of the limb is build by adjacent plates to avoid a short-circuit current there through.
- According to a further embodiment of the invention the at least one plate consists at least predominantly of stainless steel. This material has a high mechanical stability and can easily become glued together with slanted areas of the amorphous transformer core.
- According to a further embodiment of the invention at least one of the glued bonds comprises a fibre structure. During manufacturing a glued bond is typically applied in the wet state, so that a mat of for example glass fibre can be arranged therein. Glass fibre will once more increase mechanical strength of the glued bond and of the transformer-core therewith.
- According to a further embodiment of the transformer-core shaped polygonal adapter plates fitted to the polygonal layout are foreseen within the upper and lower yoke areas, which are clamped together each to each other. Due to the shape of the adapter plates a kind of plug is formed therewith within each yoke area, so that a pressure force is applicable thereon. This pressure force additionally increases the mechanical stability of the transformer core. A thread-rod is for example a suitable means for applying such pressure force.
- The problem of the invention is also solved by a transformer, comprising a transformer-core according to the invention and at least three transformer coils, which are arranged around the each limb area. Such a transformer is characterized by reduced core losses and by an increased efficiency factor therewith. The improved transformer-core furthermore provides an increased mechanical stability of the transformer, so that as well the transport as the arrangement on site is improved therewith in an advantageous way.
