Abstract

A transformer, according to one possible embodiment, includes: a bobbin part formed by stacking a plurality of bobbins including external connection terminals; and coils respectively wound around the plurality of bobbins. At least one bobbin of the plurality of bobbins includes withdrawing grooves formed in a space between the external connection terminals, the respective coil wound around the at least one bobbin being withdrawn outside the bobbin via the withdrawing grooves and coupled to the external connection terminal.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A transformer, comprising:
a bobbin part including a lower bobbin and an upper bobbin vertically laminated above the lower bobbin and combined with the lower bobbin,
each bobbin including a tube-shaped body part having a penetration hole therein, and flange parts protruded outwardly from both sides of the body part, and a terminal coupling part protruded from one side of the flange part of each of the bobbins, and
the terminal coupling part of the lower bobbin is protruded from an upper flange part, while the terminal coupling part of the upper bobbin is protruded from a lower flange part, each terminal coupling part having external connection terminals protruding therefrom; and
a coil part including coils respectively wound around the upper bobbins and lower bobbin,
wherein at least one bobbin includes withdrawing grooves formed in a space between the external connection terminals, the coils wound around the at least one bobbin being withdrawn outwardly of the at least one bobbin via the withdrawing grooves and coupled to the external connection terminals,
the lower and upper bobbins are combined with each other such that the terminal coupling part of the lower bobbin and the terminal coupling part of the upper bobbin are arranged in opposite directions,
the terminal coupling part of the upper bobbin includes a separating block protruded downwardly between the coils wound around the lower bobbin and the external connection terminals of the upper bobbin to secure an insulation distance therebetween, and
the terminal coupling part of the lower bobbin includes a separating block protruded upwardly between the coils wound around the upper bobbin and the external connection terminals of the lower bobbin to secure an insulation distance therebetween.

2. The transformer of claim 1 , wherein at least one bobbin among the lower bobbin and the upper bobbin includes a plurality of guiding protrusions formed on the terminal coupling part, the coils being coupled to the external connection terminals via the space between the guiding protrusions.

3. The transformer of claim 2 , wherein the withdrawing grooves are formed between the guiding protrusions.

4. The transformer of claim 1 , further comprising a bobbin fixing member combined with the bobbin part to fix and combine at least two of the bobbins.

5. The transformer of claim 4 , wherein the bobbin fixing member includes at least one supporting member protruded outwardly.

6. The transformer of claim 4 , wherein the bobbin fixing member further includes at least one supporting member being safely seated on a substrate so as to support the transformer when the transformer is being mounted on the substrate.

7. A transformer, comprising:
a bobbin part including a lower bobbin and an upper bobbin vertically laminated above the lower bobbin and combined with the lower bobbin,
each bobbin including a tube-shaped body part having a penetration hole therein, and flange parts protruded outwardly from both sides of the body part, and a terminal coupling part protruded from one side of the flange part of each of the bobbins, and
the terminal coupling part of the lower bobbin is protruded from an upper flange part, while the terminal coupling part of the upper bobbin is protruded from a lower flange part, each terminal coupling part having external connection terminals protruding therefrom; and
a coil part including coils respectively wound around the upper bobbins and lower bobbin,
wherein at least one bobbin among the upper bobbin and the lower bobbin includes a plurality of guiding protrusions formed on the terminal coupling part, the coils wound around at least one of the bobbins supporting the guiding protrusions and being coupled to the external connection terminals,
the lower and upper bobbins are combined with each other such that the terminal coupling part of the lower bobbin and the terminal coupling part of the upper bobbin are arranged in opposite directions,
the terminal coupling part of the upper bobbin includes a separating block protruded downwardly between the coils wound around the lower bobbin and the external connection terminals of the upper bobbin to secure an insulation distance therebetween, and
the terminal coupling part of the lower bobbin includes a separating block protruded upwardly between the coils wound around the upper bobbin and the external connection terminals of the lower bobbin to secure an insulation distance therebetween.

8. A transformer, comprising:
a bobbin part including a lower bobbin and an upper bobbin vertically laminated above the lower bobbin and combined with the lower bobbin; and
a core having a center leg and two side legs combined with the plurality of bobbins to form a magnetic circuit;
at least one bobbin fixing member combined with the bobbin part in which the upper bobbin and the lower bobbin are laminated to fix and combine the upper bobbin and the lower bobbin,
wherein the bobbin fixing member includes at least two supporting members being safely seated on a substrate to support the transformer when the transformer is mounted on the substrate,
at least one bobbin fixing member includes a plate-shaped fixing body,
the supporting members are protruded from an outer surface of the bobbin fixing body,
the supporting members are separated from each other by a distance wider than a width of the side leg, and
at least one side leg is disposed between the supporting members.

9. The transformer of claim 8 , wherein at least one bobbin fixing member includes:
at least two intersection plates protruded from an inner surface of the fixing body to support the upper surface of the upper bobbin and the lower surface of the lower bobbin.

10. The transformer of claim 9 , wherein the bobbin fixing member further includes a middle insertion plate formed in the middle of the fixing body so that the middle insertion plate is inserted into a contact surface between the upper bobbin and the lower bobbin.

11. The transformer of claim 9 , wherein the supporting members being disposed on both sides of the core are disposed on the bobbin fixing member.
