Abstract

A carrier device for a toroidal-core choke includes a base plate, which has projecting wire-guiding devices. A holder for an inductive component includes the carrier device and an electrical isolation device. The holder can be part of an inductive component.

Claims (42)

1. A carrier device for a toroidal-core choke, the carrier device comprising:

a base plate; and

at least two elongated wire-guiding devices projecting from the base plate such that the wire-guiding devices extend at least to a height of a core hole shoulder of the toroidal-core choke such that a wire-guiding channel of each wiring-guide device is configured to guide a wire at least up to the core hole shoulder, wherein end faces of the toroidal-core choke are turned toward the wire-guiding devices.

2. The carrier device according to claim 1 , wherein the wire-guiding devices extend to a side of the base plate provided for holding the toroidal-core choke.

3. The carrier device according to claim 1 , wherein the wire-guiding devices each have a height that exceeds a transverse dimension of a wire to be guided in the carrier device by a factor of at least two.

4. The carrier device according to claim 1 , wherein the wire-guiding devices each have a height that exceeds an outer transverse dimension of each wire-guiding device by a factor of at least two.

5. The carrier device according to claim 1 , wherein the wire-guiding devices each have a height that exceeds a thickness of the base plate by a factor of at least two.

6. The carrier device according to claim 1 , wherein the wire-guiding devices each comprise at least one wire-guiding channel.

7. The carrier device according to claim 1 , further comprising a choke area for an arrangement of the toroidal-core choke, the choke area being provided on the base plate between the wire-guiding devices.

8. The carrier device according to claim 7 , wherein the toroidal-core choke can be arranged upright between the wire-guiding devices.

9. The carrier device according to claim 7 , wherein at least one of the wire-guiding devices has projections that run along a main axis of the wire-guiding device on a side of the wire-guiding device facing the choke area.

10. The carrier device according to claim 1 , wherein the wire-guiding devices have a U-profile.

11. The carrier device according to claim 1 , wherein the wire-guiding devices are each constructed as a hollow tube.

12. The carrier device according to claim 1 , further comprising wire feedthrough openings constructed in the base plate.

13. The carrier device according to claim 1 , wherein the base plate is partitioned in one longitudinal direction into edge areas and at least one center area arranged between the edge areas, wherein the wire-guiding devices are arranged in the at least one center area.

14. The carrier device according to claim 13 , further comprising two wire feedthrough openings for each wire winding, the two wire feedthrough openings being provided in each area of the base plate.

15. The carrier device according to claim 14 , wherein the two wire feedthrough openings of an area are arranged along a transverse direction.

16. The carrier device according to claim 14 , wherein the wire-guiding devices each comprise at least one wire-guiding channel, wherein the wire-guiding channels run perpendicular to the base plate and open into wire feedthrough openings.

17. The carrier device according to claim 1 , further comprising spacing feet attached to a bottom side of the base plate.

18. A carrier device for a toroidal-core choke, the carrier device comprising:

a base plate;

at least two elongated wire-guiding devices projecting from the base plate; and

a choke area for an arrangement of a toroidal-core choke, the choke area being provided on the base plate between the wire-guiding devices;

wherein at least one of the wire-guiding devices has projections that run along a main axis of the wire-guiding device on a side of the wire-guiding device facing the choke area; and

wherein an end of a projection facing away from the base plate is beveled.

19. A carrier device for a toroidal-core choke, the carrier device comprising:

a base plate;

at least two elongated wire-guiding devices projecting from the base plate; and

a choke area for an arrangement of a toroidal-core choke, the choke area being provided on the base plate between the wire-guiding devices such that the wire-guiding devices extend at least to a height of a core hole shoulder of the toroidal-core choke such that a wire-guiding channel of each wiring guide device is configured to guide a wire at least up to the core hole shoulder;

wherein at least one of the wire-guiding devices has a catch device turned toward the choke area.

20. The carrier device according to claim 19 , wherein the at least one of the wire-guiding devices has projections that run along a main axis of the wire-guiding device on a side of the wire-guiding device facing the choke area such that a catch device of each wire-guiding device is limited laterally by the projections.

21. The carrier device according to claim 20 , wherein the catch device has a rib.

22. A holder for an inductive component, the holder comprising:

a carrier device comprising a base plate and elongated wire-guiding devices projecting from the base plate, each wire-guiding device including a catch device; and

an electrical isolation device that can be inserted in a core hole of a toroidal-core choke and that can be fixed to the catch devices of the wire-guiding devices.

23. The holder according to claim 22 , wherein the electrical isolation device has catch devices on an end, wherein the catch devices of the electrical isolation device can be fixed on the catch devices of the wire-guiding devices.

24. The holder according to claim 23 , wherein the catch devices of the electrical isolation device are constructed as complementary parts to the catch devices of the wire-guiding devices.

25. An inductive component comprising:

a carrier device comprising a base plate and elongated wire-guiding devices projecting from the base plate, each wire-guiding device including a catch device;

a toroidal core disposed between the wire guiding devices;

an electrical isolation device that can be inserted in a core hole of a toroidal-core choke and that can be fixed to the catch devices of the wire-guiding devices, wherein the electrical isolation device is inserted in the core hole of the toroidal-core choke and is fixed to the wire-guiding devices; and

several wire windings with ends guided through wire feedthrough openings of the base plate, wherein ends of one of the wire windings are guided in the wire-guiding devices.
