    Abstract: A bonded magnet is required to have a large energy product, which is the product of magnetization Br and coercive force Hc. However, in a ferrite powder for a bonded magnet, when the particle diameter is reduced to improve the coercive force, the packing properties are impaired, and the Br is lowered. When the particle diameter is increased to improve the magnetization, the coercive force is lowered. Therefore, to increase the energy product, both the Br and Hc must be increased. A ferrite powder that has a large particle size, is composed of smooth crystals, and suffers only a small reduction in coercive force even after pressurization is obtained by mixing a fine ferrite powder having a small particle size with a ferrite powder calcined at a temperature of 1050° C. to 1300° C. in the presence of a chloride at its saturated vapor pressure and then annealing the mixture at 800° C. to 1100° C. A bonded magnet produced using the powder has an energy product of 2.0 MGOe or more.

    Abstract: A magnetic core includes an ellipse-shaped central post and two side posts. The ellipse-shaped central post includes a long axis and a short axis. The length of the long axis is greater than the length of the short axis. The two side posts are disposed on two sides of the ellipse-shaped central post and opposite to each other. The two side posts are connected with the ellipse-shaped central post through two connecting portions respectively for defining at least one winding space with the ellipse-shaped central post. By utilizing the ellipse-shaped central post, the volume of the winding space is increased, the diameter of the wire of the winding coil can be increased, the temperature of the winding encapsulation is easy to be lowered, the over-volume issue of the winding encapsulation is avoided, and the safe distance between the bobbin and the winding encapsulation is increased, so that the present disclosure meets the safety regulation.

  • Publication number: 20140354384
    Abstract: A magnetic core for a transformer, which includes a closed ring with a thick part and a thin part. The thin part is magnetically saturated before the thick part when excited by the same increasing magnetic fields. The thin part only operates briefly at or near first quadrant saturation point or a third quadrant saturation point and, for the rest of the time, it operates in a state between the first quadrant saturation point and the third quadrant saturation point. The present invention overcomes the drawbacks of the conventional magnetic core for a self-excitation push-pull type converter, and significantly improves the efficiency of the converter when it is under a light load, and further improves its efficiency while under a rated load. As the number of turns of the coil on the magnetic saturation transformer is reduced, the working frequency of the converter is improved while still keeping the loss low.
