In order to let above mention of the present invention and other objects, features, advantages, and embodiments of the present invention to be more easily understood, the description of the accompanying drawing as follows.
Aspects of the present disclosure are best understood from the following detailed description when read with the accompanying figures. It is noted that, in accordance with the standard practice in the industry, various features are not drawn to scale. In fact, the dimensions of the various features may be arbitrarily increased or reduced for clarity of discussion.
Specific embodiments of the present invention are further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, however, the embodiments described are not intended to limit the present invention and it is not intended for the description of operation to limit the order of implementation. The using of “first”, “second”, “third”, etc. in the specification should be understood for identify units or data described by the same terminology, but are not referred to particular order or sequence.
The conventional patch type transformer 1 is provided with a first pad P1, a second pad P2, a third pad P3, and a fourth pad P4 which are not contact with each other. The first pad P1, the second pad P2, the third pad P3, and the fourth pad P4 are sequentially arranged on the first flange portion 12 along a first arrangement direction D1. The conventional patch type transformer 1 is provided with a fifth pad P5, a sixth pad P6, a seventh pad P7, and an eighth pad P8 which are not contact with each other. The fifth pad P5, the sixth pad P6, the seventh pad P7, and the eighth pad P8 are sequentially arranged on the second flange portion 13 along a second arrangement direction D2. The first arrangement direction D1 is opposite to the second arrangement direction D2.
Two ends of the first coil S1 of the conventional patch type transformer 1 are respectively connected to the first pad P1 and the eighth pad P8. Two ends of the second coil S2 of the conventional patch type transformer 1 are respectively connected to the third pad P3 and the sixth pad P6.

Two ends of the fourth coil S4 of the conventional patch type transformer 1 are respectively connected to the fourth pad P4 and the fifth pad P5. A winding direction that the first coil S1 and the second coil S2 are wound on the columnar winding portion 11 is opposite to a winding direction that the third coil S3 and the fourth coil S4 are wound on the columnar winding portion 11.
Returning to
During the withstand voltage test, when the electrical distance of the electronic product is shorter, the electronic product is more likely to have the phenomenon of poor withstand voltage. For example, if there is no burn back, the electrical distance of the conventional patch type transformer 1 is the minimum distance T between the second pad P2 and the third pad P3. However, due to burn back (i.e., if there is the phenomenon of burn back), the electrical distance of the conventional patch type transformer 1 is shortened to the shortest distance T1 between the exposed copper wire (indicated by the dotted line in
The patch type transformer 2 is provided with a first pad P1, a second pad P2, a third pad P3, and a fourth pad P4 which are not contact with each other. The first pad P1, the second pad P2, the third pad P3, and the fourth pad P4 are sequentially arranged on the first flange portion 12 along a first arrangement direction D1. The patch type transformer 2 is provided with a fifth pad P5, a sixth pad P6, a seventh pad P7, and an eighth pad P8 which are not contact with each other. The fifth pad P5, the sixth pad P6, the seventh pad P7, and the eighth pad P8 are sequentially arranged on the second flange portion 13 along a second arrangement direction D2. The first arrangement direction D1 is opposite to the second arrangement direction D2. In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in
Two ends of the first coil S5 of the patch type transformer 2 are respectively connected to the first pad P1 and the seventh pad P7. Two ends of the second coil S6 of the patch type transformer 2 are respectively connected to the third pad P3 and the fifth pad P5. Two ends of the third coil S7 of the patch type transformer 2 are respectively connected to the second pad P2 and the eighth pad P8. Two ends of the fourth coil S8 of the patch type transformer 2 are respectively connected to the fourth pad P4 and the sixth pad P6.
A winding direction of the first coil S5 wound on the columnar winding portion 11 is identical to a winding direction of the second coil S6 wound on the columnar winding portion 11. The winding direction of the first coil S5 and the winding direction of the second coil S6 are defined as the forward direction herein. A winding direction of the third coil S7 wound on the columnar winding portion 11 is identical to a winding direction of the fourth coil S8 wound on the columnar winding portion 11. The winding direction of the third coil S7 and the winding direction of the fourth coil S8 are defined as the backward direction herein. Specifically, a winding direction that the first coil S5 and the second coil S6 are wound on the columnar winding portion 11 is opposite to a winding direction that the third coil S7 and the fourth coil S8 are wound on the columnar winding portion 11.
When the patch type transformer 2 is used, the seventh pad P7 is electrically connected to the eighth pad P8 and the third pad P3 is electrically connected to the fourth pad P4. In other words, the seventh pad P7 is shorted (i.e., short-connected) to the eighth pad P8, and the third pad P3 is shorted (i.e., short-connected) to the fourth pad P4. At this time, the first pad P1, the second pad P2, the fifth pad P5, and the sixth pad P6 can be served as the input terminal and output terminal of the patch type transformer 2. In other words, when the first pad P1 and the second pad P2 are served as the input terminal of the patch type transformer 2, the fifth pad P5 and the sixth pad P6 are served as the output terminal of the patch type transformer 2. When the fifth pad P5 and the pad P6 are served as the input terminal of the patch type transformer 2, the first pad P1 and the second pad P2 are served as the output terminal of the patch type transformer 2.
Returning to
For example, if there is no burn back, the electrical distance of the patch type transformer 2 is the minimum distance T between the second pad P2 and the third pad P3. However, if there is the phenomenon of burn back, as shown in
In addition, if there is the phenomenon of burn back, with respect to the first coil S5 and the fourth coil S8 at the first flange portion 12, the electrical distance of the first coil S5 and the fourth coil S8 is the shortest distance T3 between the exposed copper wire (indicated by the dashed line in
In detail, as shown in
Specifically, the first portion of the second coil S6 that the second coil S6 is adjacent to the first flange portion 12 and the second portion of the third coil S7 that the third coil S7 is adjacent to the first flange portion 12 are not intersected with each other on the upper surface of the H-shaped magnetic core 10 but are intersected with each other on the lower surface of the H-shaped magnetic core 10. Therefore, even if there is the phenomenon of burn back, the electrical distance of the patch type transformer 2 will not be reduced. This is because, with respect to the second coil S6 and the third coil S7 at the first flange portion 12, the electrical distance of the second coil S6 and the third coil S7 is still the minimum distance T between the second pad P2 and the third pad P3.
Specifically, the third portion of the first coil S5 that the first coil S5 is adjacent to the first flange portion 12 and the fourth portion of the fourth coil S8 that the fourth coil S8 is adjacent to the first flange portion 12 are intersected with each other on the upper surface of the H-shaped magnetic core 10. Because the distance between the pad P1 and the fourth pad P4 is relatively large, and thus even if there is the phenomenon of burn back, the electrical distance of the first coil S5 and the fourth coil S8 at the first flange portion 12 will not be smaller than the minimum distance T between the second pad P2 and the third pad P3. In other words, the third portion of the first coil S5 that the first coil S5 is adjacent to the first flange portion 12 and the fourth portion of the fourth coil S8 that the fourth coil S8 is adjacent to the first flange portion 12 are intersected with each other on the upper surface of the H-shaped magnetic core 10 and will not affect the withstand voltage performance of the electronic product.
From the above description, the present invention provides a patch type transformer. This patch type transformer will not reduce the electrical distance due to the phenomenon of burn back, and thus the electronic product will not be prone to have the phenomenon of poor withstand voltage. That is, the patch type transformer of the present invention can maintain a certain electrical distance, so that the electronic product can pass the withstand voltage test.
