Description


[0001] The invention concerns method for manufacturing powder composite magnetic core and powder composite magnetic core designed 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 powder composite magnetic cores manufactured as components from homogenous mass of compressed magnetic powder composite, wherein the compacted magnetic cores are annealed or sintered following their compacting.

[0004] According to the invention the method comprises the die being filled with magnetic powder composite, inside of which conductive elements are being placed, and following this procedure magnetic powder composite is bound with inductive elements through compacting. As conductive elements, conductive wires or conductive bars are located in the die. Conductive elements of the magnetic core can also be manufactured of conductive powder. To obtain them, the die is being filled with conductive powder and magnetic powder composite.

[0005] Favourably, the die is simultaneously being filled with conductive powder and magnetic powder composite.

[0006] What is also favourable is the die at least once being filled with conductive powder, then at least once with magnetic powder composite or the conductive sheet being placed in the die and then magnetic powder composite is poured over it, and eventually another electrical steel sheet is also placed within the die.

[0007] The essence of the invention concerns inserting at least one conductive element into the compacted magnetic powder composite. A conductive wire or a conductive bar is the conducting element.

[0008] Favourably, on both sides of the compacted powder composite material the conducting layers is placed.

[0009] Within the compacted magnetic powder composites are conductive layers, favourably conducting sheet element or compacted conductive powder.

[0010] Favourably, the magnetic core is of layered arrangement with at least one layer of magnetic powder composite, and at least one layer of conductive powder.

[0011] Conductive elements are placed on the circumference of the magnetic core or along the magnetic core.

[0012] The advantage of this new method for manufacturing powder composite magnetic cores is the possibility of simultaneous obtaining of both the electrical and the magnetic circuit in a waste-free compacting process, what reduces the duration of technological process. Powder composite magnetic core, according to the invention, creates the possibility of producing rotors of electrical machines, rotors of small-power electrical machines, and these of special machines as uniform electromagnetic system. Furthermore, it enables simple change of configuration of conducting elements in order to control the electromagnetic parameters of the circuit already in the process of manufacture.
