INDUCTOR DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240242866 titled 'INDUCTOR DEVICE

The abstract describes an inductor device designed to suppress variations in inductance between two magnetically coupled reactors, as well as a DC converter utilizing this device.

The inductor device consists of a core with a common leg portion, a first leg portion with a first gap, and a second leg portion with a second gap in the same positional relationship as the first gap.
A first bobbin is attached to the first leg portion, with a first coil and a second coil wound around it separately.
A second bobbin, attached to the second leg portion, has a similar shape to the first bobbin, with a third coil and a fourth coil wound around it separately.
Two coils at positions corresponding to an X shape are connected in series when viewed from the front, involving the first coil, the second coil, the third coil, and the fourth coil.

Potential Applications: - Power electronics - Renewable energy systems - Electric vehicles

Problems Solved: - Suppression of inductance variations - Improved efficiency in DC converters
