DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

[0023] Referring to FIG. 1, the present invention provides an inductance value increasing structure, which comprises: a magnetic core 1 and a coil 2.

[0024] The magnetic core 1 is of an I-shape. The magnetic core 1 comprises a central pole 11. The central pole 11 has two ends that are respectively provided with a first flange 12 and a second flange 13. The first flange 12 has a length and a width that are less than or equal to those of the second flange 13. Referring to FIGS. 1, 2, and 3, the central pole 11 can be of a shape that is a rectangle (see FIG. 1), a polygon (see FIG. 2), or a cylinder (see FIG. 3). The magnetic core 1 is made of a magnetic material. The magnetic core 1 can be of ferrite or a soft magnetic material. Ferrite is a nonmetallic magnetic material, and generally, ferrite is a composite oxide formed of one or multiple metallic elements, with iron being the primary element. For example, the magnetic core 1 can be made of manganese-zinc ferrite.

[0025] The coil 2 has a first end 21 and a second end 22. The coil 2 is wound around and disposed on the magnetic core 1. The coil 2 can be formed of a circular wire (see FIG. 1) or a flat wire (see FIG. 7). Referring to FIG. 4, the magnetic core 1 and the coil 2 are enclosed by a package body 3 on the outside. The package body 3 is made of a plastic material or a composite plastic material. The package body 3 is formed by the injection molding technology to have a predetermined size for enclosing a periphery of the magnetic core 1 and the coil 2 to form the package body 3. It only requires an overall side of the magnetic core 1 and the coil 2 be smaller than the package body 3, and there is no limit to the shape of the magnetic core 1 or the number of sets of the coil 2. Further, the package body 3 offers protection to the magnetic core 1 and the coil 2, and further fixing terminals (or electrodes) that are extended out of the package body 3 to prevent them from curving or breaking due to an external force and resulting in undesired issues of shorting and abnormal conducting. Referring to FIG. 5, the first end 21 and the second end 22 of the coil 2 are extended outward from the magnetic core 1 and penetrate through the package body 3 to form two terminals (electrodes) respectively, meaning the first end 21 and the second end 22 of the coil 2 serve as terminals. Or alternatively, referring to FIG. 6, the first end 21 and the second end 22 of the coil 2 are extended outward from the magnetic core 1 and are each connected to a metal plate 4 extending out of the package body 3 to form two terminals (electrodes), meaning the first end 21 and the second end 22 of the coil 2 are each connected to a metal plate 4 first, and the metal plates 4 serve as the terminals. The terminals (electrodes) are exposed outside the package body 3 in order to electrically connect with other circuit boards or other electronic components. The coil 2 can be of multiple turns and multiple layers. For example, a circular wire can be wound to form the multiple turns and multiple layers (see FIG. 8) a flat wire can be wound to form the multiple turns and multiple layers (see FIG. 9). The coil 2 may also possibly adopt an α-winding structure to wind around the magnetic core 1. The α-winding structure is so named because the winding structure is of a shape looked like the letter a. The inductance value is proportional to the square of the number of turns, and thus, forming the coil 2 as being wound in multiple turns around the magnetic core 1 can increase the inductance value. Similarly, forming the coil 2 as being wound in multiple layers can also increase the inductance value.

[0026] The present invention is structured to include, in addition to a central pole 11, a first flange 12. Under a condition of being supplied with one fixed current, the greater the size and shape of the magnetic core 1, the larger the inductance value of the inductor, and thus, the arrangement of the first flange 12 can effectively increase the inductance value.
