A transformer having adjustable leakage inductance includes a primary winding coil, a secondary winding coil, a bobbin and a magnetic core assembly. The bobbin includes a winding section for winding the primary winding coil and the secondary winding coil thereon, wherein the bobbin further includes a channel therein. The magnetic core assembly is partially embedded into the channel of the first bobbin. The primary winding coil and the secondary winding coil are partially overlapped with each other and wound around the winding section of the bobbin to be defined as an overlap region. The region where the primary winding coil and the secondary winding coil are not overlapped with each other is defined as a non-overlap region. The leakage inductance of the transformer is adjusted according to an overlap ratio of the overlap region to the sum of the overlap region and the non-overlap region.
The present invention relates to a transformer, and more particularly to a transformer having adjustable leakage inductance.
A transformer has become an essential electronic component for various kinds of electric appliances. Referring to FIG. 1, a schematic exploded view of a conventional transformer is illustrated. The transformer 1 principally comprises a magnetic core assembly 11, a bobbin 12, a primary winding coil 13 and a secondary winding coil 14. The primary winding coil 13 and the secondary winding coil 14 are overlapped with each other and wound around a winding section 121 of the bobbin 12. A tape 15 is provided for isolation and insulation. The magnetic core assembly 11 includes a first magnetic part 111 and a second magnetic part 112. The middle portion 111 a of the first magnetic part 111 and the middle portion 112 a of the second magnetic part 112 are embedded into the channel 122 of the bobbin 12. The primary winding coil 13 and the secondary winding coil 14 interact with the magnetic core assembly 11 to achieve the purpose of voltage regulation.
Since the leakage inductance of the transformer has an influence on the electric conversion efficiency of a power converter, it is very important to control leakage inductance. Related technologies were developed to increase coupling coefficient and reduce leakage inductance of the transformer so as to reduce power loss upon voltage regulation. In the transformer of FIG. 1, the primary winding coil 13 and the secondary winding coil 14 are overlapped with each other and wound around the bobbin 12. As a consequence, there is less magnetic flux leakage generated from the primary winding coil 13 and the secondary winding coil 14. The primary winding coil 13 and the secondary winding coil 14 are overlapped with each other and wound around a winding section 121 of the bobbin 12. Under this circumstance, sine the coupling coefficient is increased, the leakage inductance of the transformer is reduced (e.g. less than 10 μH) and the power loss upon voltage regulation is reduced, the electric conversion efficiency of a power converter is enhanced.
In the power supply system of the electric products in the new generation, for example LCD televisions, the transformer with leakage inductance prevails. The current generated from the power supply system will pass through a LC resonant circuit composed of an inductor L and a capacitor C. The inductor L is provided from the primary winding coil of the transformer. Meanwhile, the current with a near half-sine waveform will pass through a power MOSFET (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor) switch. When the current is zero, the power MOSFET switch is conducted. After a half-sine wave is past and the current returns zero, the switch is shut off. As known, this soft switch of the resonant circuit may reduce damage possibility of the switch and minimize the noise.
In order to increase the leakage inductance of the transformer, the primary winding coil should be separated from the secondary winding coil by a certain distance to reduce the coupling coefficient of the transformer. Referring to FIG. 2, a schematic exploded view of a transformer with leakage inductance according to prior art is illustrated. The transformer 2 principally comprises a magnetic core assembly 21, a bobbin 22, a primary winding coil 23, a secondary winding coil 24 and a tape 25. The bobbin 22 comprises a first side plate 221, a second side plate 222 and a winding member 223. The tape 25 is wound around the middle portion of the winding member 223 and has a width d. The winding member 223 is divided into a first winding section 2231 and a second winding section 2232, which are located at bilateral sides of the tape 25. The primary winding coil 23 and the secondary winding coil 24 are wound around the first winding section 2231 and the second winding section 2232, respectively. For safety regulations, the tape 25 is used for isolation between the primary winding coil 23 and the secondary winding coil 24. As the width d of the tape 25 between the primary winding coil 23 and the secondary winding coil 24 is increased, the coupling coefficient is reduced and the leakage inductance of the transformer is increased. Under this circumstance, the resonant circuit of the power supply system will be conveniently controlled.
Although the transformer of FIG. 2 is advantageous for increasing the leakage inductance, some drawbacks still exist. For example, since the primary winding coil 23 and the secondary winding coil 24 are separated by the tape 25, the coupling coefficient is reduced and the leakage inductance is too high (e.g. greater than 50 μH) to be lowered or adjusted.
As previously described, the transformer of FIG. 1 or FIG. 2 fails to adjust the leakage inductance within an acceptable range.
In views of the above-described disadvantages, the applicant keeps on carving unflaggingly to develop a transformer having adjustable leakage inductance according to the present invention through wholehearted experience and research.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a transformer whose leakage inductance is adjustable within an acceptable range.
In accordance with an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a transformer having adjustable leakage inductance. The transformer includes a primary winding coil, a secondary winding coil, a bobbin and a magnetic core assembly. The bobbin includes a winding section for winding the primary winding coil and the secondary winding coil thereon, wherein the bobbin further includes a channel therein. The magnetic core assembly is partially embedded into the channel of the first bobbin. The primary winding coil and the secondary winding coil are partially overlapped with each other and wound around the winding section of the bobbin to be defined as an overlap region. The region where the primary winding coil and the secondary winding coil are not overlapped with each other is defined as a non-overlap region. The leakage inductance of the transformer is adjusted according to an overlap ratio of the overlap region to the sum of the overlap region and the non-overlap region.

FIG. 4 is a schematic cross-sectional view illustrating a winding structure of the transformer taken along the cross-section A1A2A3A4;
FIGS. 5-9 are schematic cross-sectional views illustrating other winding structures of the transformer; and
FIG. 10 is a schematic exploded view of a transformer according to a further preferred embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 3, a schematic exploded view of a transformer according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is illustrated. FIG. 4 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the transformer taken along the cross-section A1A2A3A4. As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the transformer 3 principally comprises a magnetic core assembly 31, a bobbin 32, a primary winding coil 33 and a secondary winding coil 34. The magnetic core assembly 31 of the transformer 3 includes a first magnetic part 311 and a second magnetic part 312, which are cooperatively formed as an EE-type core assembly, an EI-type core assembly, an ER-type core assembly, a UU-type core assembly or a UI-type core assembly. The middle portion 311 a of the first magnetic part 311 and the middle portion 312 a of the second magnetic part 312 are embedded into the channel 321 of the bobbin 32. The primary winding coil 33 and the secondary winding coil 34 interact with the magnetic core assembly 31 to achieve the purpose of voltage regulation.
The bobbin 32 comprises a first side plate 322, a second side plate 323 and a winding section 324. The winding section 324 is disposed between the first side plate 322 and the second side plate 323. The primary winding coil 33 and the secondary winding coil 34 are wound around the winding section 324. In a case that the primary winding coil 33 and the secondary winding coil 34 have no insulating covering, the primary winding coil 33 is separated from the secondary winding coil 34 by the insulating element 35. An example of the insulating element 35 is an insulating tape.
In some embodiments, the primary winding coil 33 and the secondary winding coil 34 are partially overlapped with each other and wound around the winding section 324 of the bobbin 32. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the primary winding coil 33 and the secondary winding coil 34 are overlapped with each other at the overlap region B1. The region where the primary winding coil 33 and the secondary winding coil 34 are not overlapped with each other is referred as a non-overlap region. For illustration, the ratio of the overlap region to the sum of the overlap region and the non-overlap region is referred hereinafter as an overlap ratio.
In accordance with a specified feature of the present invention, the coupling coefficient and the leakage inductance of the transformer are adjustable by controlling the overlap ratio. As the overlap ratio is increased, the coupling coefficient is increased but the leakage inductance is lowered. Whereas, as the overlap ratio is decreased, the coupling coefficient is lowered but the leakage inductance is heightened.
Please refer to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4. The transform 3 further includes a first adjusting element 36 and a second adjusting element 37 for adjusting the overlap ratio. The first adjusting element 36 is protruded from or attached onto the first side plate 322 and disposed between the first side plate 322 and the second side plate 323. An example of the first adjusting element 36 is a stop block and integrally formed with the bobbin 32. Alternatively, the first adjusting element 36 may be a stop wall formed by winding an insulating tape around the winding section 324. Since a certain space of the winding section 324 is occupied by the first adjusting element 36, the remainder of the winding section 324 is responsible for winding the primary winding coil 33 thereon. That is, the primary winding coil 33 is wound around the winding section 324 between the second side plate 323 and the first adjusting element 36. In a case that the primary winding coil 33 have no insulating covering, the insulating element 35 (e.g. an insulating tape) is wrapped around the primary winding coil 33 and the first adjusting element 36.
Subsequently, the second adjusting element 37 is placed on the insulating element 35. The second adjusting element 37 is protruded from or attached onto the second side plate 323 of the bobbin 32 and disposed between the first side plate 322 and the second side plate 323. An example of the second adjusting element 37 is a movable stop block. Alternatively, the second adjusting element 37 may be a stop wall formed by winding an insulating tape around the insulating element 35. Likewise, since a certain space of the winding section 324 is occupied by the second adjusting element 37, the remainder of the winding section 324 is responsible for winding the secondary winding coil 34 thereon. That is, the secondary winding coil 34 is wound around the winding section 324 between the first side plate 322 and the second adjusting element 37.
From the above description, the overlap ratio between the primary winding coil 33 and the secondary winding coil 34 is adjusted by changing the width and the location of the first adjusting element 36 and/or the second adjusting element 37. After a specific overlap ratio is selected, the coupling coefficient and the leakage inductance of the transformer 3 are determined.
A further embodiment of a transformer having adjustable leakage inductance is illustrated in FIG. 5. The magnetic core assembly 31, the bobbin 32, the primary winding coil 33 and the secondary winding coil 34 included therein are similar to those shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, and are not redundantly described herein.

As shown in FIG. 5, the primary winding coil 33 and the secondary winding coil 34 are overlapped with each other at the overlap region B2. By setting the overlap ratio between the primary winding coil 33 and the secondary winding coil 34, the coupling coefficient and the leakage inductance of the transformer 3 are determined.

Referring to FIG. 10, a schematic exploded view of a transformer according to another preferred embodiment of the present invention is illustrated. As shown in FIG. 10, the transformer 10 principally comprises a magnetic core assembly 41, a bobbin 42, a primary winding coil 43 and a secondary winding coil 44. The magnetic core assembly 41 of the transformer 4 includes a first magnetic part 411 and a second magnetic part 412, which are cooperatively formed as an EE-type core assembly, an EI-type core assembly, an ER-type core assembly, a UU-type core assembly or a UI-type core assembly. The middle portion 411 a of the first magnetic part 411 and the middle portion 412 a of the second magnetic part 412 are embedded into the channel 4214 of the bobbin 42. The primary winding coil 43 and the secondary winding coil 44 interact with the magnetic core assembly 41 to achieve the purpose of voltage regulation.
The bobbin 42 comprises a primary winding coil frame 421 and a secondary winding coil frame 422. A primary winding coil 43 is wound around the primary winding coil frame 421. The primary winding coil frame 421 includes a first side plate 4211 and a second side plate 4212. A first winding section 4213 is formed between the first side plate 4211 and the second side plate 4212 for winding the primary winding coil 43 thereon. The primary winding coil frame 421 further includes a first channel 4214 for accommodating the middle portion 411 a of the second magnetic part 411 therein. The secondary winding coil frame 422 includes a first side plate 4221 and a second side plate 4222.

The secondary winding coil frame 422 further includes a second channel 4224 for accommodating the middle portion 412 a of the second magnetic part 412 therein.
The transformer 4 further includes a first adjusting element 46 and a second adjusting element 47 for adjusting the overlap ratio between the primary winding coil 43 and the secondary winding coil 44. The first adjusting element 46 is attached onto the first side plate 4211 of the primary winding coil frame 421. An example of the first adjusting element 46 is a stop block and integrally formed with the primary winding coil frame 421. Alternatively, the first adjusting element 46 may be a stop wall formed by winding an insulating tape around the first winding section 4213. Since a certain space of the first winding section 4213 is occupied by the first adjusting element 46, the remainder of the first winding section 4213 is responsible for winding the primary winding coil 43 thereon. That is, the primary winding coil 43 is wound around the first winding section 4213 between the second side plate 4212 and the first adjusting element 46. After the primary winding coil 43 is wound around the first winding section 4213, the primary winding coil frame 421 is inserted into the second channel 4224 of the secondary winding coil frame 422. It is noted that, however, those skilled in the art will readily observe that numerous modifications and alterations of the first adjusting element 46 may be made while retaining the teachings of the invention. For example, the first adjusting element 46 may be a movable stop block or partition plate.
The second adjusting element 47 is attached onto the second side plate 4222 of the secondary winding coil frame 422. An example of the second adjusting element 47 is a stop block and integrally formed with the secondary winding coil frame 422. Alternatively, the second adjusting element 47 may be a stop wall formed by winding an insulating tape around the second winding section 4223. In some embodiments, the second adjusting element 47 may be a movable stop block or partition plate. Since a certain space of the second winding section 4223 is occupied by the second adjusting element 47, the remainder of the second winding section 4223 is responsible for winding the secondary winding coil 44 thereon. That is, the secondary winding coil 44 is wound around the second winding section 4223 between the first side plate 4221 and the second adjusting element 47.
From the above description, the overlap ratio between the primary winding coil 43 and the secondary winding coil 44 is adjusted by changing the width and the location of the first adjusting element 46 and/or the second adjusting element 47.
