Definitions
- the invention relates to a high-frequency power transformer for switching power supplies.
- Switched-mode power supplies are known to be used for the energy supply of electrical devices, such as personal computers, video monitors and the like, in which usually several different consumers have to be supplied with different voltages, in particular direct voltages.
- electrical devices such as personal computers, video monitors and the like
- the highest possible frequencies are used to operate these power supplies.
- So-called clocked power supplies have been found to be particularly advantageous, but increasing the operating frequency usually results in an increase in switching losses in the rectifier components, which can be associated with a reduction in efficiency.
- the switching power supplies can be operated in series or parallel resonance.
- a particular problem for the switching power supplies working according to the resonance principle is that a defined leakage inductance must be maintained in the power transformers.
- the problem of leakage inductance is solved in that one of the middle legs of two symmetrically arranged ferrite pot cores is shortened accordingly.
- the shortening of the middle leg - due to the resulting air gap - has a very large leakage inductance.
- This measure is intended to ensure that the output voltages and the resonance frequency of the circuit remain almost constant when the load changes.
- the primary winding and secondary winding created in conventional winding technology are each arranged on a middle leg of a pot core half.
- the leakage inductance can only be changed by changing the air gap or by changing the length of the middle leg.
- the secondary windings consist of stacked circuit boards with insulators in between. To ensure galvanic isolation between the primary and secondary side, a specially designed coil former was provided. To reduce both the leakage inductance and the space requirement, the transmitter is integrated into the circuit board of the switching power supply.
- a disadvantage of this embodiment is that copper-coated boards are used as carrier material for the primary winding, which only allow a limited height of the conductor tracks.
- a broadband high-frequency power transformer in sandwich construction is known, which is intended for use in a device for inductive heating.
- the transformer should have very low leakage losses. With a core made of two ferrite parts, scatter losses that are practically zero can be achieved.
- a sandwich-type transformer is also known from "Patent Abstracts of Japan", Volume 10, No. 217 (E-423) (2273), JP-A-61 54 607.
- the invention has for its object to provide a high-frequency power transmitter for switching power supplies working on the resonance principle, with which not only a particularly small but also a precisely defined leakage inductance can be achieved.
- This object is achieved by a high-frequency power transformer with the features of claim 1. Further details and features of the invention emerge from the following description and the subclaims.
- Fig. 1 shows the mechanical structure of the high-frequency power transformer according to the invention, which is constructed according to the sandwich principle.
- the illustrated embodiment illustrates one of the many possibilities for nesting the individual windings with one another, with a particularly small leakage inductance being achieved in this form. Additional insulation of the cable leads, especially of the secondary winding parts, has been omitted because it is easier to present.
- the middle leg of a soft magnetic core part 2 is designated, which together with a core part 3 with middle leg 4 forms the actual core of the power transformer.
- the core parts 2 and 3 are of the E-type, the middle legs 1 and 4 being round and the spaces 5 and 6 accommodating the coils in the region of the core parts 2 and 3 being correspondingly cylindrical.
- the cylindrical shape of the middle leg is particularly advantageous, since the components to be stacked can be annular, which considerably simplifies their manufacture.
- core parts can also be used in which the central limbs can be square or rectangular in cross-section, with appropriate design of the spaces 5 and 6 surrounding them.
- a sleeve-shaped coil carrier 7 can be pushed on, which has a flange 8 with which it is supported against the core part 2.
- the winding parts 9 of the primary windings or the bobbins 10 carrying them and the winding parts 12 of the secondary windings as well as insulation disks 13 in between can be stacked on the coil carrier 7.
- the coil formers 10 for the winding parts 9 of the primary winding are of circular design, the winding 9 being inserted in a preferably U-shaped cross section.
- Fig. 1 shows a particularly advantageous embodiment of the secondary winding parts 12, which are designed as flat, single-winded, annular stamped parts with terminal lugs 12a and 12b.
- the terminal lugs 12a and 12b are normally led out in isolation.
- a plurality of winding parts 12 of the secondary winding can be connected in series, in which case connecting lugs 12b which belong together are then electrically connected to one another. This connection can be routed to the outside and then provides a center tap of the winding parts connected in series.
- the bobbin 7 is pushed onto the middle leg 1 of the core part 2. Then the core part is from above 3 placed, the middle leg 4 engages in the interior of the sleeve-shaped coil carrier 7, whereby all parts are secured to each other.
- the core parts 2 and 3 can be pressed against one another with the aid of resilient clamps, which are not shown.
- the connecting lugs 12a and 12b and the connections of the winding parts 9 are led out through the lateral recesses in the core parts 2 and 3.
- a defined leakage inductance can be set with the insulation disks 13 between the primary winding parts 9 and the secondary winding parts 12, specifically by the number of insulation disks and their thickness.
- the thin lines 13 represent insulating washers or insulating spacing washers.
- FIG. 2a shows an embodiment according to FIG. 2a, but with additional primary and secondary winding parts.
- FIG. 3 shows the relationship between the leakage inductance L and the distance a, generated by the spacer insulation washers 13, for different winding combinations detect.
- the embodiment according to FIG. 2d further shows that an adjustable leakage inductance can also be realized with more than two primary part windings.
- a division of the primary winding into several partial windings on several bobbins has the advantage that smaller current displacement effects (copper losses) than in the exemplary embodiments according to FIGS. 2a to 2c can be achieved due to the better spatial distribution of the windings.
- solid copper wires it is also possible to use HF strands with any cross-section and number of strands on the individual bobbins. This applies equally to the primary winding as well as to the secondary windings.
- solid copper sheets are used on the secondary side, which can be replaced at higher frequencies to minimize the current displacement effects by several thin copper sheets which are insulated from one another.
- the different output powers of the transformers required in the switching power supply applications require different copper cross sections of the windings. This is easily possible with the winding principle according to the invention.
- the examples shown are designed with four secondary windings, which can be connected as required according to the respective requirements, such as output voltage and output current.
- the number of winding parts can be increased or reduced at any time.
- FIG. 4 shows a sectional drawing of the high-frequency power transformer, which is constructed in accordance with the winding combination according to FIG. 2b.
- the after the The clearance and creepage distances required by VDE guidelines can be easily complied with if the primary winding diameter and the secondary copper sheet diameter are selected accordingly. Insulation between the primary winding parts 9 and the secondary winding parts 12 can be dispensed with in this particular embodiment, since the coil carriers 10 are pushed over the coil carrier 7.
- the lead wires for the primary and secondary side are led out by a spatial separation of 180 °.
- the core shapes with a round middle leg, such as the RM, PM and ETD types, are best suited for this.
- Fig. 5 shows a sectional drawing of the high-frequency power transformer with a shortened common coil carrier (7, 8).
- the common coil carrier (7, 8) envelops only a part of the middle leg (1, 4) in the assembled state and a further coil former (11) is plugged directly onto the part of the middle leg (4) that has been left free.
- This embodiment can be used particularly advantageously if one of the windings - in the example shown the primary winding (9) - requires a high number of turns, or a winding with a larger conductor cross section is required.
