INDUCTIVE COMPONENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240029934 titled 'INDUCTIVE COMPONENT
Simplified Explanation
The abstract of the patent application describes an inductor that consists of a winding with a predetermined inductance, a soft magnetic winding core, and a housing with a cooling surface to dissipate heat from the inductor. The housing encloses the winding.
- The inductor has a winding with a specific inductance.
- The winding core is made of a soft magnetic material.
- The housing of the inductor has a cooling surface to release heat.
- The housing encloses the winding and provides protection.
Potential Applications
- Power electronics: The inductor can be used in various power electronic devices such as converters, inverters, and motor drives.
- Renewable energy systems: The inductor can be utilized in wind turbines, solar power systems, and other renewable energy applications.
- Electric vehicles: The inductor can be integrated into electric vehicle charging systems and powertrain components.
Problems Solved
- Heat dissipation: The cooling surface of the housing helps to efficiently dissipate heat generated by the inductor, preventing overheating and potential damage.
- Inductance control: The predefined inductance of the winding allows for precise control and optimization of the inductor's performance in different applications.
- Magnetic field containment: The soft magnetic winding core helps to contain and direct the magnetic field generated by the inductor, reducing electromagnetic interference.
Benefits
- Improved reliability: The cooling surface ensures that the inductor operates within safe temperature limits, enhancing its reliability and lifespan.
- Enhanced performance: The predefined inductance and magnetic field containment contribute to improved performance and efficiency of the inductor.
- Versatility: The inductor can be used in a wide range of applications due to its customizable inductance and soft magnetic core.
