Claims
- 1. A method of manufacturing laminated transformers comprising the steps of:
- forming a U-shaped electrode layer on a non-magnetic green sheet;
- forming at least one other U-shaped electrode layer on a non-magnetic green sheet to thereby provide a plurality of non-magnetic green sheets on which a U-shaped electrode layer has been formed;
- laminating said plurality of said non-magnetic green sheets to form a laminate unit comprising alternate layers of said non-magnetic green sheets and said electrode layers;
- laminating said laminate unit with magnetic clamping sheet means such that said laminate unit is disposed between said clamping sheet means to thereby form a laminate body;
- pressing said laminate body to form a pressed laminate body;
- forming side magnetic body portions and central magnetic body portions in said pressed laminate body such that said pressed laminate body with said side body portions and said central magnetic body portions form an assembly block;
- cutting said assembly block into a plurality of assembly units with each of said assembly units forming an individual transformer element; and
- sintering said individual transformer elements.
- 2. A method of manufacturing a laminated transformer according to claim 1 wherein said step of forming said side magnetic body portions comprises applying a magnetic paste to said pressed laminate body, and further comprising drying said magnetic paste.
- 3. A method of manufacturing a laminated transformer according to claim 1 wherein said step of forming said side magnetic body portions in said pressed laminate body comprises forming parallel slits in said pressed laminate body, disposing a magnetic paste in said slits, and drying said magnetic paste.
- 4. A method of manufacturing a laminated transformer according to claim 3 wherein said step of laminating said laminate unit with said magnetic clamping sheet means comprises applying one of said clamping sheet means to one side of said laminate unit and applying another of said clamping sheet means to the other side of said laminate unit, said step of forming said parallel slits comprises forming said parallel slits to extend through said one clamping sheet means and through said pressed laminate body.
- 5. A method of manufacturing a laminated transformer according to claim 4 wherein said one clamping sheet means and said other clamping sheet means each comprise a plurality of magnetic sheets.
- 6. A method of manufacturing a laminated transformer according to claim 9 wherein said step of disposing said magnetic paste in said parallel slits comprises disposing said magnetic paste in said parallel slits which extend through said pressed laminated body and which terminate at said other clamping sheet means.
- 7. A method of manufacturing a laminated transformer according to claim 4 wherein said step of forming said parallel slits comprises terminating said parallel slits at said other clamping sheet means such that said slits do not extend through said other clamping sheet means.
- 8. A method of manufacturing a laminated transformer according to claim 3 wherein said step of cutting said assembly block comprises cutting through said dried magnetic paste in said slits.
- 9. A method of manufacturing a laminated transformer according to claim 3 wherein said step of cutting said assembly block comprises cutting said assembly body along a first plurality of parallel cut lines with each of said parallel cut lines being parallel to said parallel slits.
- 10. A method of manufacturing a laminated transformer according to claim 9 wherein said step of cutting said assembly block along said first plurality of cut lines comprises cutting said dried magnetic paste in said slits.
- 11. A method of manufacturing a laminated transformer according to claim 9 wherein said step of cutting said assembly block comprises further cutting said assembly block along a second plurality of parallel cut lines which extend perpendicular to said first plurality of parallel cut lines.
- 12. A method of manufacturing a laminated transformer according to claim 1 wherein said step of forming said central body portions in said pressed laminate body comprises forming a plurality of central openings in said pressed laminate body, disposing a magnetic paste in said central openings, and further comprising drying said magnetic paste.
- 13. A method of manufacturing a laminated transformer according to claim 12 wherein said step of laminating said laminate unit with said magnetic clamping sheet means comprises applying one magnetic clamping sheet means to one side of said laminate unit and applying another magnetic clamping sheet means to the other side of said laminate unit, said step of forming said central openings comprising forming said central openings to extend through said pressed laminate body and through said one magnetic clamping sheet means.
- 14. A method of manufacturing a laminated transformer according to claim 13 wherein said one clamping sheet means and said other clamping sheet means each comprise a plurality of magnetic sheets.
- 15. A method of manufacturing a laminated transformer according to claim 13 wherein said step of forming said central openings comprises terminating said central openings at said other clamping sheet means such that said central openings do not extend through said other clamping sheet means.
- 16. A method of manufacturing a laminated transformer according to claim 15 wherein said step of disposing said magnetic paste in said central openings comprises disposing said magnetic paste in said central openings which extend through said pressed laminate body and which terminate at said other clamping sheet means.
- 17. A method of manufacturing a laminated transformer according to claim 1 wherein said step of forming said side magnetic body portions in said pressed laminate body comprises forming parallel slits in said pressed laminate body and disposing a magnetic paste in said slits, and further comprising disposing said central magnetic body portions in said pressed laminate body in spaced array along two mutually perpendicular sets of rows with one set of rows being parallel to said slits and the other set of rows being perpendicular to said slits, said cutting step comprising cutting said assembly block along first cut lines which are perpendicular to said slits and which extend between said spaced central magnetic body portions in said second set of rows, said cutting step further comprising cutting said assembly block along second cut lines which are parallel to said slits and which extend between said spaced central magnetic body portions in said first set of rows to thereby form said assembly units.
