The present disclosure relates to the field of inductor technologies, and in particular, to a common mode choke, a winding method for a common mode choke, and an adapter.
Currently, adapters develop towards miniaturization and high power density. Some adapter products including gallium nitride (GaN) switch devices have features such as a high switching speed and a high frequency. In some scenarios such as metal shells, fully enclosed potting of products, and load grounding, to resolve an electromagnetic interference (EMI) problem, common mode impedance in a common mode path needs to be increased. There are mainly two common mode paths in the adapter. A first path is a loop formed by parasitic capacitance between primary and secondary sides of a transformer. A second path is a loop formed by parasitic capacitance that is coupled to an input end through a switching transistor.
The common mode impedance is affected by the following two factors and cannot be further increased.
1) Impact of a product volume: Increasing the common mode impedance needs a larger effective area of core (Ae) value, but the larger Ae value indicates a larger volume of the adapter. Therefore, power density of the adapter decreases.
2) Impact of the parasitic capacitance: The parasitic capacitance advances a resonance point of a common mode choke, making the choke capacitive at a high frequency.
The common mode choke is obtained by winding, on a magnetic ring, two or more groups of coils with an equal quantity of coils wound, an equal diameter of wires, and opposite winding directions, and is configured to suppress common mode interference. There are usually three existing winding methods for the common mode choke: a C-type winding method, a Z-type winding method, and a butterfly-type winding method (X-type winding method). Structures of the C-type winding method and the Z-type winding method have small impedance in a high frequency band, and have poor filtering effect on electro magnetic compatibility (electro magnetic compatibility, EMC).
In view of this, a common mode choke structure that provides sufficient common mode impedance without increasing a volume in a working scenario such as a high-frequency switch and a high voltage change rate needs to be provided, to resolve a problem of excessively small impedance in the high frequency band.
The present disclosure provides a common mode choke, a winding method for a common mode choke, and an adapter. A common mode choke structure can provide sufficient common mode impedance without increasing a volume, to resolve a problem of excessively small impedance in a high frequency band.
According to a first aspect, the present disclosure provides a common mode choke, including: a toroidal magnetic core and N windings wound on the toroidal magnetic core. N is an integer greater than 2. The N windings are rotationally symmetric in a central direction of the toroidal magnetic core. Each of the N windings includes two lead ends. The two lead ends are respectively located at outermost layers of two sides of each winding. Each of the N windings includes a first group of windings and a second group of windings. A starting point of each of the N windings is located between the first group of windings and the second group of windings. A quantity of winding sections in the first group of windings is different from a quantity of winding sections in the second group of windings. Each winding section in both the first group of windings and the second group of windings includes a plurality of winding layers. Each winding layer includes a plurality of coils.
In the present disclosure, the common mode choke is obtained by using a winding method for a common mode choke in which a plurality of winding sections are rotationally symmetric. In this case, in a scenario such as a high-frequency switch or a high voltage change rate (dv/dt), the common mode choke can increase common mode impedance, reduce parasitic capacitance, and effectively improve an electromagnetic interference filtering capability. In addition, the structure can increase the common mode impedance of the common mode choke based on a specific quantity of turns. Therefore, this can reduce an actual quantity of turns in the common mode choke, and further reduce a volume of coils of the common mode choke.
In a possible implementation, winding directions of the first group of windings and the second group of windings are opposite at a starting point position of each of the N windings. In this structure, the starting point of each winding is rotationally symmetric in the central direction of the toroidal magnetic core.

These aspects or other aspects of the present disclosure are clearer and more comprehensible in descriptions of the following embodiments.
To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and advantages to be resolved in the present disclosure clearer, the following provides detailed descriptions with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
Terms used in the following embodiments are only intended to describe specific embodiments, but are not intended to limit the present disclosure. Terms “one”, “a”, “the foregoing”, “the”, and “the one” of singular forms used in this specification and the appended claims of the present disclosure are also intended to include plural forms like “one or more”, unless otherwise specified in the context clearly.
Reference to “an embodiment”, “some embodiments”, or the like described in this specification indicates that one or more embodiments of the present disclosure include a specific feature, structure, or characteristic described with reference to the embodiments. Therefore, statements such as “in an embodiment”, “in some embodiments”, “in some other embodiments”, and “in other embodiments” that appear at different places in this specification do not necessarily refer to a same embodiment.

A switching power supply is a power supply that maintains a stable output voltage by controlling a ratio of turn-on time to turn-off time of a switching transistor. For example, a common switching power supply is an adapter, and the like. Currently, the adapter develops towards miniaturization and high frequency, to improve power density. However, it is increasingly difficult to reduce EMI noise of a switching power supply product. To resolve the EMI noise problem, a common mode choke is usually needed to suppress the EMI noise. A feature of the common mode choke has significant impact on EMI noise suppression effect. A larger toroidal magnetic core has a larger effective core area value, but the adapter develops towards miniaturization. Therefore, a diameter of the toroidal magnetic core in the adapter cannot be extremely large.
In addition, in a high voltage scenario, parasitic capacitance on the choke greatly affects an operation characteristic and work efficiency of the choke. The parasitic capacitance is closely related to a winding structure and a winding layout. In comparison with a common C-type winding method and Z-type winding method in a conventional technology, a butterfly-type winding method can reduce the parasitic capacitance without increasing a volume. However, in some scenarios such as a high-frequency switch or a high voltage change rate (dv/dt), common mode impedance of the butterfly-type winding method is still relatively small, and it is difficult to resolve the EMI problem. In view of this, a common mode choke structure that provides sufficient common mode impedance without increasing a volume in a working scenario such as a high-frequency switch and a high voltage change rate needs to be provided, to resolve a problem of excessively small impedance in a high frequency band.
The common mode choke (common mode choke), also referred to as a common mode inductor, is configured to filter a common mode electromagnetic interference signal (EMI) in the switching power supply. The common mode choke is a common mode interference suppression device that uses ferrite or the like as a magnetic core. A plurality of coils with a same size and a same quantity of turns are symmetrically wound on a same toroidal magnetic core in opposite winding directions, to form a four-terminal or multi-terminal electronic device.
An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a common mode choke. As shown in
The N windings 22 are rotationally symmetric in a central direction of the toroidal magnetic core 21. Each of the N windings 22 includes two lead ends 23 (a first lead end 231 and a second lead end 232). The two lead ends 23 are respectively located at outermost layers of two sides of each winding. Each of the N windings 22 includes a first group of windings 221 and a second group of windings 222. A starting point 24 of each of the N windings 22 is located between the first group of windings 221 and the second group of windings 222. A quantity of winding sections in the first group of windings 221 is different from a quantity of winding sections in the second group of windings 222. Each winding section in both the first group of windings 221 and the second group of windings 222 includes a plurality of winding layers. Each winding layer includes a plurality of coils.
In specific use, the first lead end 231 and the second lead end 232 may be used as external pins of the common mode choke 20. A current may flow in from the first lead end 231 or the second lead end 232 in each winding, and flow out from the second lead end 232 or the first lead end 231 in each winding.
It should be noted that, in the present disclosure, there is an insulation layer on a surface of a wire wound to form the winding. This maintains an insulation state between the winding sections and between the winding layers. Certainly, a shape of the toroidal magnetic core 21 in the present disclosure may be but is not limited to a ring, or may be a triangular ring, an elliptical ring, a square ring, a rectangular ring, or any polygonal ring. This is not specifically limited herein. A person skilled in the art may adaptively specify the shape based on a scenario. The toroidal magnetic core 21 may enhance electromagnetic induction effect, increase a magnetic flux, and reduce an eddy current loss, to enhance electromagnetic induction intensity between different coils. A material of the magnetic core is not specifically limited. For example, the magnetic core may be a magnetic powder core (an iron powder core, a sendust core, a high flux powder core, a molybdenum permalloy powder core, or the like) or a ferrite magnetic core. Magnetic cores of various materials may be used in the technical solution in this embodiment of the present disclosure. The magnetic powder core is formed by pressing magnetic powder. An outer surface of the pressed magnetic powder core is wrapped with an insulating organic material or an insulating inorganic material after the pressing. This forms insulation between the magnetic powder core and the winding. For example, the organic material may be a resin such as an epoxy resin, and the inorganic material may be a resin such as a silicone resin. The common mode choke made of the magnetic powder core has advantages of a large current, a high frequency, and miniaturization.
In addition, the common mode choke provided in this embodiment of the present disclosure may further include a fixed base. The fixed base includes a plurality of lead terminals. The plurality of lead terminals are correspondingly connected to the first lead end 231 and the second lead end 232 of each winding. A specific connection manner is not specifically limited. The first lead end 231 and the second lead end 232 may be connected to one side of the fixed base, or may be respectively connected to two sides of the fixed base. This is not specifically limited herein.
Winding directions of the first group of windings 221 and the second group of windings 222 are opposite at a starting point position of each of the N windings 22. In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the starting point is a point at which the wire starts to be wound on the toroidal magnetic core. One wire may be used to form one winding. Any point other than a start point or an end point of the wire is fixed at the starting point of the toroidal magnetic core. There are a plurality of manners of fastening the wire to the toroidal magnetic core. For example, a material such as a bonding agent may be used to bond any point other than the start point or the end point of the wire to the starting point of the toroidal magnetic core. The starting point of each of the N windings 22 may be on an inner side of the toroidal magnetic core, or may be on an outer side of the toroidal magnetic core. The opposite winding directions of the first group of windings and the second group of windings specifically mean: After any point other than the start point or the end point of wire is fixed at the starting point of the toroidal magnetic core, two ends of the wire are wound in opposite directions. In addition, in the foregoing embodiment, each winding section in the first group of windings has a same winding direction, and each winding section in the second group of windings has a same winding direction. Winding directions of coils in two adjacent layers of each winding section in each of the N windings are opposite.
The common mode choke 20 in the present disclosure uses a rotationally symmetric winding method. The starting points of the windings are rotationally symmetric in the central direction of the toroidal magnetic core 21. Therefore, during actual installation of the common mode choke 20, an installation direction of the common mode choke does not need to be considered.
Specifically, parasitic capacitance of the winding in the common mode choke is related to electric field energy in the winding. To calculate the electric field energy, voltage distribution in the winding needs to be known.
In an optional solution, a quantity of winding layers of each winding section is an odd number. This can better ensure that, during actual installation of the common mode choke 20, an installation direction of the common mode choke does not need to be considered.
In an optional solution, to ensure common mode suppression effect, each winding section in both the first group of windings and the second group of windings has a same quantity of winding layers, and each winding section in each of the N windings has a same quantity of winding layers.
A common mode choke formed by two windings is used as an example. A specific working manner of the common mode choke may be: The two windings are both wound on a same toroidal magnetic core, and have a same quantity of turns and a same phase (opposite winding directions). When a normal current in a circuit flows through the common mode choke, the current generates reverse magnetic fields that counteract with each other in windings wound on the same phase. In this case, the normal signal current is mainly less affected by resistance of the winding. When a common mode current flows through the winding, due to codirectionality of the common mode current, co-directional magnetic fields are generated in the winding. This increases inductive reactance of the winding, enables the winding to present a high impedance state, and generates strong damping effect, to attenuate the common mode current and achieve a filtering purpose. Therefore, when the common mode current flows in the common mode choke, larger impedance of each winding on the common mode choke indicates better common mode current suppression effect, and better suppression of EMI noise.
