There was a problem of becoming a factor. In the inverter transformer 210 having a structure in which the leakage inductance is changed as the relative positional relationship between the first magnetic core 230 and the second magnetic core 240 changes as described in the latter background art. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the size of the magnetic cores 230 and 240 and the bobbin 201 by the amount of adjustment.

For this reason, the third magnetic core is prevented from protruding from the external dimensions of the inverter transformer, and can be mounted in the same space as before, and after the first magnetic core and the second magnetic core are mounted. Even when the leakage inductance value differs from the leakage inductance of another inverter transformer, a part of the magnetic flux generated in the primary winding affects the secondary winding via the third magnetic core. The leakage inductance value is corrected.

Further, the third magnetic core is bonded to the surface of the second magnetic core facing the winding shaft. For this reason, generation | occurrence | production of the sound by a 2nd magnetic core and a 3rd magnetic core colliding with the vibration generate | occur | produced by a magnetostriction or the vibration provided from an external environment can be suppressed. In addition, since the second magnetic core has high mechanical strength, the third magnetic core can be held more stably by bonding the third magnetic core to the second magnetic core. .

An insulating layer is provided on the outer periphery of the winding shaft so as to cover the secondary winding, and the third magnetic core is bonded to the surface of the insulating layer. For this reason, a wide contact area can be obtained, and the movement of the third magnetic core due to vibrations generated by magnetostriction or vibrations applied from the external environment can be suppressed.

Further, a third magnetic field is formed on the surface of the outer periphery of the winding shaft that is sandwiched between the bases at both ends, on the surface of the second magnetic core facing the winding shaft, via a U-shaped guide. By disposing the core, the third magnetic core can be easily moved and positioned in determining the bonding position of the third magnetic core on the outer periphery of the winding shaft.

According to the present invention, it is possible to provide an inverter transformer that can be corrected to a desired leakage inductance even when a deviation occurs in the leakage inductance due to dimensional variation of the magnetic core to be used or an assembled state.
