Description

[0001] The invention concerns method for manufacturing powder composite magnetic core and powder composite magnetic core designed for use in electrotechnical appliances, and especially in electrical machines.

[0002] Inductive element and method for producing the same are already known from international patent application WO02/101763. Said powder composite is produced by mixing a ferromagnetic amorphous or nanocrystalline alloy powder with a ferromagnetic dielectric powder and a thermoplastic or duroplastic polymer, with dielectric ferromagnetic powder alloy equaling more than 55% by volume. Inductive element produced of dielectric ferromagnetic powder is characteristic in that in the mixture of powders, ribbons of ferromagnetic alloy are placed in the mixture of powders.

[0003] Known from their employment are magnetic cores or powder composite magnetic cores, which are manufactured as components from homogenous mass of compressed powder, wherein the compacted magnetic cores are annealed or sintered following their compacting.

[0004] According to the invention method for manufacturing comprises the die being filled with magnetic powder composite, with at least one electromagnetic element being placed within the die during pouring of the powder, following which procedure magnetic powder composites are being bounded with inductive electrotechnical elements through compacting. As electrotechnical elements, sheets wires and bars of magnetically soft metal are located in the die.

[0005] Favourably, the electrotechnical elements are coated with thin gluing layer. According to this invention, the essence of the method of manufacturing comprises inserting at least one electrotechnical element into the element mad of compacted magnetic composite.

[0006] As the electrotechnical element, steel or magnetically soft wire can be employed, favourably manufactured of magnetically soft material.

[0007] What is also favourable is the employment of gluing layer between the electrotechnical element and the compacted powder composite.

[0008] Powder composite magnetic cores manufactured using this innovative method is characterized by increased mechanical strength. Electromagnetic circuits with new magnetic cores are characterized by improved magnetic properties. In these new magnetic cores higher values of magnetic induction are obtained at the same values of magnetic field intensity and magnetic permeability increases.

[0009] According to the invention, powder composite magnetic cores are manufactured as hybrid magnetic cores of reinforced structures, with powder magnetic composites being used as the basis of the hybrid arrangement and electrical sheets, bars and wires are made of soft magnetic materials. Hybrid arrangement is shaped in the process of the die being filled with magnetic powder composite. Electrical sheets on top and bottom surface of the magnetic powder which fills the die; within the magnetic core or in all these places. Following the compaction of the prepared arrangement, a magnetic core of reinforced top and bottom surfaces, or of reinforced inside, or of reinforced top and bottom surfaces and reinforced inside, is obtained, depending on the arrangement of components prepared earlier. Soft magnetic wires are inserted in the die during pouring of the powder into the die as bundles, single wire vain along whole length of the prepared magnetic core, along the predicted magnetic flux flow path. Following compaction of the prepared arrangement, reinforced magnetic core is obtained. All the elements of bundle of wires or elements of electrical sheet, before they are placed in the die, are being coated with a thin layer of thermosetting resin in order to obtain better bounding with the powder structure during compacting. Compacting of the hybrid arrangement is conducted in standard conditions typical for obtaining of composite magnetic cores.
