Transformer and core set thereof

Abstract

A transformer. The transformer comprises a bobbin, a first core and a second core. The bobbin comprises a primary winding area and a secondary winding area. The first core is disposed in the bobbin. The second core is mounted on the bobbin. The second core comprises a plurality of first protrusions which are disposed at two sides of the bobbin. A second protrusion is integrally formed on the second core and is disposed between the first protrusions. The second protrusion is disposed between the primary winding area and the secondary winding area.

A transformer comprising: a bobbin having a hollow portion, a primary winding area and at least a secondary winding area;a first core disposed in the hollow portion of the bobbin; anda second core disposed on the bobbin, wherein the second core comprises a plurality of first protrusions and at least a second protrusion, and the first protrusions are disposed at two sides of the bobbin and the second protrusion is disposed between the primary winding area and the secondary winding area.

2. The transformer as claimed in claim 1, wherein the second protrusion is integrated to the second core and disposed between the first protrusions.

3. The transformer as claimed in claim 1, wherein the secondary winding area is at one side of the bobbin and neighbored to the primary winding area.

4. The transformer as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first core is I-shaped, and the second core has a U-shaped cross section.

5. The transformer as claimed in claim 4, wherein a gap is formed between the first core and the second core.

6. The transformer as claimed in claim 1, wherein the shape of the second core is two rectangles connected to each other, or three rectangles connected to each other.

7. The transformer as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first core and the second core are made of Mn—Zn material, Ni—Zn material, Mg—Zn material, permeability magnetic materials, or stacked silicon steel.

8. The transformer as claimed in claim 7, wherein the transformer further comprises a cover covering the bobbin and allowing the second core to be mounted thereon.

9. The transformer as claimed in claim 8, wherein the cover comprises a plurality of through holes formed corresponding to the second protrusion to allow the second protrusion to pass through the through holes to be disposed between the primary winding area and the secondary winding area.

10. The transformer as claimed in claim 9, wherein the cover comprises an opening disposed corresponding to the hollow portion of the bobbin to allow the first core to be disposed in the hollow portion of the bobbin.

11. The transformer as claimed in claim 8, wherein the cover is made of insulated materials.

12. The transformer as claimed in claim 1, wherein the width of the first protrusion is larger than, smaller than, or equal to that of the second protrusion.

13. The transformer as claimed in claim 1, wherein the second core comprises at least two through holes disposed between the first protrusions and the second protrusion.

14. A core set disposed on a bobbin having a hollow portion, a primary winding area and a secondary winding area, the core set comprising: a first core and a second core having a plurality of first protrusions and a second protrusion, wherein the first core is disposed in the hollow portion of the bobbin, and the first protrusions of the second core are disposed at two sides of the bobbin and the second protrusion of the second core is disposed between the primary winding area and the second winding area.

15. The core set as claimed in claim 14, wherein the second protrusion is integrally on the second core and disposed between the first protrusions.

16. The core set as claimed in claim 14, wherein cross sections of the first protrusions and the second protrusion are U-shaped, and a gap is formed between the first core and the second core.

17. The core set as claimed in claim 14, wherein the shape of the second core is two rectangles connected to each other along a straight line, or three rectangles connected to each other along a straight line.

18. The core set as claimed in claim 14, wherein the core set is made of Mn—Zn material, Ni—Zn material , Mg—Zn material , permeable magnetic materials, or stacked silicon steel.

19. The core set as claimed in claim 14, wherein the width of the first protrusion is larger than, smaller than, or equal to the width of the second protrusion.

20. The core set as claimed in claim 14, wherein the second core comprises at least two through holes disposed between the first protrusions and the second protrusion.
