Method for producing inductive components
View Patent ↗Discussed are rational, economical production methods for inductive components. Compared to prior methods, those addressed herein are significantly simplified processes in which exact positioning of the connections is possible. Among actions contemplated in exemplary versions of the method are providing a mold comprised of aluminum alloy, inserting a magnet core of the inductive component, and filling the closed mold with a molten hot-melt adhesive preferably comprising a polyamide base.
1. Method for producing inductive components comprising:
a. providing a metallic mold;
b. inserting into the mold (i) a toroidal core comprising metal alloy and with at least one winding and (ii) a winding connection, the winding connection being led out of the mold before the toroidal core is inserted;
c. closing the mold;
d. filling the mold with a molten, thermoplastic hot-melt adhesive material under pressure;
e. cooling the mold; and
f. opening the mold and withdrawing the molded inductive component.
2. Method as in claim 1 , in which the mold comprises aluminum or aluminum alloy.
3. Method as in claim 1 , in which filling the mold with the hot-melt adhesive is carried out under a pressure of about 10 to 20 bar.
4. Method as in claim 1 , in which the hot-melt adhesive is a polyamide-based thermoplastic hot-melt adhesive.
5. Method as in claim 1 , in which the winding connections are laid in blind holes in the mold.
6. Method as in claim 1 , in which the toroidal core is made of amorphous or nanocrystalline alloy.
7. Method as in claim 1 , in which the inductive component functions as a current sensor.
8. Method for producing inductive components comprising:
a. providing a metallic mold comprising aluminum or aluminum alloy;
b. inserting into the mold (i) a toroidal core comprising amorphous or nanocrystalline alloy and with at least one winding and (ii) a winding connection, the winding connection being led out of the mold before the toroidal core is inserted;
c. closing the mold;
d. filling the mold with a molten, thermoplastic hot-melt adhesive material under pressure;
e. cooling the mold; and
f. opening the mold and withdrawing the molded inductive component.
9. Method for producing current transformers comprising:
a. providing a metallic mold;
b. inserting into the mold ( i ) a core comprising metal alloy and with at least one winding and ( ii ) a winding connection, the winding connection being led out of the mold before the core is inserted;
c. closing the mold;
d. filling the mold with a molten, thermoplastic hot - melt adhesive material under pressure;
e. cooling the mold; and
f. opening the mold and withdrawing the molded current transformer.
10. Method as in claim 9 , in which the mold comprises aluminum or aluminum alloy.
11. Method as in claim 9 , in which filling the mold with the hot- melt adhesive is carried out under a pressure of about 10 to 20 bar.
12. Method as in claim 9 , in which the hot- melt adhesive is a polyamide - based thermoplastic hot - melt adhesive.
13. Method as in claim 9 , in which the winding connections are laid in blind holes in the mold.
14. Method as in claim 9 , in which the core is made of amorphous or nanocrystalline alloy.
