Abstract

A transformer module for an electric vehicle is provided. The transformer module includes a bobbin round which a primary-side coil is wound, a printed circuit board, and a secondary-side bus bar disposed between the bobbin and the printed circuit board, wherein a pattern part formed of an electrically conductive material to contact the bus bar is provided on the printed circuit board to electrically connect the pattern part to the bus bar in parallel.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A transformer module for an electric vehicle, the transformer module comprising:
an upper bobbin around which a primary-side coil is wound;
a printed circuit board; and
an upper bus bar disposed between the bobbin and the printed circuit board; and
an upper pattern part formed of an electrically conductive material provided on the printed circuit board;
wherein the upper pattern part has a shape corresponding to a shape of the upper bus bar and electrically connects to the upper bus bar in parallel,
wherein the upper pattern part is formed of a material having superior electrical conductivity than that of the upper bus bar,
wherein the upper pattern part is printed on the printed circuit board.

2. The transformer module according to claim 1 , wherein the upper pattern part is disposed on a top side of the printed circuit board and the transformer module further comprises:
a lower pattern part disposed on a bottom side of the printed circuit board;
a lower bus bar contacting the lower pattern part; and
a lower bobbin disposed on a lower portion of the lower bus bar.

3. The transformer module according to claim 2 , further comprising a ferrite core wherein the ferrite core comprises:
a central part vertically extending from a center of the ferrite core; and
a sidewall part vertically extending from a position spaced apart from the center;
wherein the printed circuit board comprises a cutoff part opening shaped to correspond to a shape of the sidewall part.

4. The transformer module according to claim 1 , wherein:
the upper bus bar is plate-shaped and comprises a center portion having a ring shape; and
the upper pattern part comprises a center portion having a ring shape, and
the printed circuit board comprises a cutoff part opening passing through the center portion of the upper pattern part.
