Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for producing inductive components, especially current transformers for electric power meters.
- a further possibility is to fasten the cable in a double groove on the upper edge of the housing. This, however, frequently leads to a discharge of molding resin as a consequence of capillary attraction through the groove.
- a cable guide through a hole drilled in the wall of the housing requires additional sealing and hence additional cost which is economically disadvantageous.
- the goal of the present invention is to present a new method for producing inductive components, especially current transformers, that by a wide margin avoids the above-mentioned problems.
- This method greatly simplifies the production sequence in comparison to existing technology, which leads to noticeably lower costs.
- the use of these molds also enables significantly shorter product introduction cycles in comparison to existing technology, as the molds are significantly simpler. This leads to rapid and simple changes for customized versions of the inductive components.
- Hot-melt adhesive material is carried out preferably at a pressure of from 0 to 20 bar, preferably from about 10 to 20 bar, with the hot-melt adhesive material consisting of a polyamide-based thermoplastic hot-melt adhesive.
- a polyamide-based thermoplastic hot-melt adhesive consisting of a polyamide-based thermoplastic hot-melt adhesive free from filler material.
- Use of this polyamide hot-melt adhesive significantly increases opportunities for recycling the inductive components, as only a single plastic is used for these inductive components.
- polyamide hot-melt adhesives can be composted.
- these thermoplastics do not have to be made from fossil materials such as oil or coal, but can also be made from renewable raw materials (wood resins).
- connections from the winding or windings are led out of the mold in a clearly defined manner before the magnet core is inserted in the mold.
- cables are provided as connections.
- the cables are led out directly through grooves in the mold, whereby the special process prevents the discharge of hot-melt adhesive.
- connections from the winding or windings in the mold are laid in blind holes. This enables the use of connections with relatively high bend resistance, so that the inventive method can also be used for producing inductive components directly suitable for surface-mount-devices (SMD).
- SMD surface-mount-devices
- the magnet cores consist preferably of toroidal cores made from metal alloys, in particular toroidal cores made from amorphous or nanocrystalline alloys.
- the benefit and properties of these amorphous or nanocrystalline alloys are fully described, for example, in EP 0271657 B1.
- FIG. 1 represents a current transformer seen from above, produced by the inventive method
- FIG. 2 represents a cross-section along line I—I through the current transformer from FIG. 1 .
- a current transformer 1 produced by the inventive method comprises a magnet core 2 provided with a secondary winding 3 .
- the secondary winding 3 generally consists of several 100 to several 1000 windings.
- the secondary winding 3 in this current transformer 1 consists of relatively thin wire, that is the wire has a thickness of from 0.05 to 0.25 mm.
- the ends of the secondary winding 3 shown here are led out as a dual-strand connector 5 , so that the current transformer 1 can be connected to a circuit board (not shown).
- the magnet core 2 of the current transformer 1 shown here is a toroidal core made from an amorphous alloy.
- the toroidal core with the secondary winding 3 mounted on it was produced by the inventive low-pressure hot-melt molding method.
- a mold made from aluminum alloy was provided (not shown).
- the toroidal core with the secondary winding 3 mounted on it was inserted in this mold, where the secondary winding 3 with its ends in the form of a dual strand connector 5 was led out of the mold.
- the mold was closed and filled with a molten, polyamide-based thermoplastic hot-melt adhesive under a pressure of about 15 bar. This caused a molded body 4 to surround the magnet core 2 .
- the molded body 4 shows an opening 5 open at both ends through which the primary winding (not shown) of the current transformer 1 can be led.
- the mold underwent a defined cooling. After cooling, the mold was opened and the molded current transformer 1 was withdrawn. After withdrawal of the molded current transformer 1 , the sprues were removed.
