Description

Multistage coil and circuit structure

The technology disclosed in the present specification relates to a multistage coil and a circuit configuration body to which the multistage coil is connected.

Conventionally, there has been known a circuit structure in which various electronic components are mounted on a circuit board having a conductive circuit. In such a circuit structure, a coil may be used as an electronic component mounted on a circuit board.

JP2015-104183A

However, since the coil is relatively large, it is necessary to provide a wide area for mounting the coil on the circuit board, and the conductive circuit must be routed to avoid that area. In particular, when a plurality of coils are mounted, there is a problem that the circuit board, and thus the circuit structure, is enlarged.

The technology disclosed in the present specification has been completed based on the above situation, and aims to reduce the size of the circuit structure.

The technology disclosed in the present specification includes at least two or more coils each having a winding part formed by winding a winding, and a connection part extending from the winding part, and the winding A plurality of magnetic cores including: a shaft portion disposed along an axial direction of the winding portion at a center in a radial direction of the winding portion; and a wall portion extending along the radial direction of the winding portion. The coils are arranged along the axial direction, and the magnetic core is between a pair of end cores arranged at both ends in the axial direction of the plurality of coils and the plurality of adjacent coils. It is the multistage coil provided with the intermediate core arranged one by one.

According to such a configuration, a plurality of coils conventionally connected individually to the circuit board can be collectively handled as one multistage coil. That is, the number of parts can be reduced. Further, in the conventional arrangement in which a plurality of individual coils are arranged side by side, the magnetic core of one coil and the magnetic core of the other coil are arranged between adjacent coils. Since it can be set as the form which shares the magnetic core of an adjacent coil, the arrangement | positioning area of a coil can be made small compared with the case where a several separate coil is arranged. That is, the circuit structure to which the coil is connected can be reduced in size.

The multi-stage coil may have the following configuration.

The multi-stage coil may be housed in a coil case, and the coil case may be filled with a potting material.

Such a configuration eliminates air vibration due to magnetostriction and makes it difficult to generate abnormal noise. Further, rattling of the multistage coil in the coil case is suppressed. Further, since it is not necessary to separately provide a holding structure for holding the multistage coil in an assembled state, the configuration can be simplified and the size can be reduced.

The connecting portion may extend in the extending direction from the winding portion and bend in the intersecting direction intersecting the extending direction. According to such a configuration, when the intersecting direction is set in the same direction as the axial direction of the winding portion, the axial direction of the winding portion is in a vertically placed state parallel to the plate surface of the circuit board, Multistage coils can be placed on the circuit board.

Further, the connecting part may be bent from the winding part and bent into a crank shape. According to such a configuration, the multi-stage coil can be disposed between the pair of circuit boards in a horizontal state in which the axial direction of the winding portion is perpendicular to the plate surface of the circuit board. That is, the distance between the pair of circuit boards can be reduced as compared with the conventional one.

Furthermore, the technology disclosed in the present specification includes a winding portion formed by winding a winding, and a connection portion extended from the winding portion, and is along the axial direction of the winding portion. A plurality of coils arranged side by side, a shaft portion arranged along the axial direction of the winding portion at the radial center of the winding portion, and along the radial direction of the winding portion A pair of end cores disposed at both ends in the axial direction of the plurality of coils, and an intermediate core disposed one by one between the plurality of adjacent coils, A multi-stage coil including a magnetic core including the circuit core is connected to the conductive circuit of the circuit board.

According to the technique disclosed in this specification, the circuit structure can be reduced in size.

portions

22A and 22B extend upward, and both ends of the flat wire of the second coil 20B are connected to the connecting

portions

22A and 22B. It is bent so as to extend downward. That is, the first coil 20A and the second coil 20B are arranged so that the winding direction of the flat wire is the same, while the connecting

portions

22A and 22B face the opposite side.

In addition, the

leg portions

That is, as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 8, the lower side in the figure is a shape along the extending direction of both ends of the flat wire, and the upper side is a shape along the winding part 21.

Such a

magnetic core

12A, 12B, 12C and the two

coils

20A, 20B form a two-stage choke coil 11 (see FIGS. 6 to 9).

The two-stage choke coil 11 is accommodated in the coil case 30.

The coil case 30 is made of a synthetic resin material, and as shown in FIG. More specifically, the coil case 30 includes a pair of first side walls 32 along the outer surface of the wall portion 13 of the two-stage choke coil 11 and a pair of second side walls along the outer surface of the leg portion 15 of the two-stage choke coil 11. 33 and the bottom wall 34 of the two-stage choke coil 11 along the surface opposite to the surface from which the connecting

portions

22A and 22B are extended. Among the edges of the opening 31 of the coil case 30, ribs 35 project outward from the edge on the second side wall 33 side.

Of the pair of first side walls 32, the side edges on the rear side are notched obliquely toward the inside in the vicinity of the center along the side edges of the wall 13 of the two-stage choke coil 11 ( (See FIG. 12). Further, the region of the bottom wall 34 corresponding to the first coil 20A and the second coil 20B of the two-stage choke coil 11 swells in a cross-section arc shape toward the rear side along the outer periphery of the winding portion 21. The protruding bulging portion 34A is used (see FIGS. 11 and 12).

The portion is provided so as to protrude forward. That is, the magnetic core 12, the first coil 20A, and the second coil 20B are held at the proper assembly position in a state where the two-stage choke coil 11 is accommodated in the coil case 30 by the positioning protrusion. ing.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the two-stage choke coil 11 includes a pair of connection portions 22 A and 22 B (four in total) of each coil 20 in the coil case 30 so as to protrude toward the outside of the opening 31. Is housed in. In this state, the outer surface of the magnetic core 12 is in contact with a plurality of contact ribs (not shown) provided inside the coil case 30, and there is a slight gap between the outer surface of the magnetic core 12 and the inner surface of the coil case 30. A gap is formed (see FIG. 10). A gap is also formed between the magnetic core 12 and the coil 20. These gaps are filled with a potting material 36, and the coil assembly 10 is integrated as a whole. In addition, as the potting material 36, an epoxy resin etc. can be used, for example.

As shown in FIG. 13, the coil assembly 10 described above is arranged at a predetermined position on the circuit board 41 and is conductively connected to the conductive circuit. Details will be described later.

Next, a method for manufacturing the coil assembly 10 and a method for attaching the coil assembly 10 to the circuit board 41 (a method for manufacturing the circuit structure 40) will be described.

To manufacture the coil assembly 10, first, the two-stage choke coil 11 in an assembled state is inserted into the coil case 30 with the two pairs of connection portions 22 A and 22 B protruding from the opening 31. The outer surface of the two-stage choke coil 11 is inserted into the back while being in contact with a contact rib (not shown) provided inside the coil case 30 and positioned by a positioning projection (not shown).

In this state, a slight gap is formed between the outer surface of the magnetic core 12 and the inner surface of the coil case 30 and between the magnetic core 12 and the coil 20.

When the two-stage choke coil 11 is inserted into the normal position of the coil case 30 and positioned, the coil case 30 is placed so that the opening 31 of the coil case 30 faces upward, and the potting material 36 is filled from the opening 31. The potting material 36 is filled in a gap between the two-stage choke coil 11 and the coil case 30 and a gap between the magnetic core 12 and the coil 20 and gradually hardens. Thereby, the coil assembly 10 in which the two-stage choke coil 11 is fixed in the coil case 30 is completed (see FIG. 1).

In this state, both ends of the rectangular wire of the coil 20 are extended outward (in the same direction) from the opening 31 of the coil case 30, and the

connection portions

22A and 22B of the first coil 20A and the second coil 20B are connected. The

portions

22A and 22B are bent toward the opposite side. Further, the extended portion from the coil case 30 at the end of the coil 20 is firmly fixed by the potting material 36 so that the proximal end side does not move.

Such a coil assembly 10 is connected to the circuit board 41. As shown in FIG. 13, the circuit board 41 has a plurality of bus bars 43 (an example of a conductive circuit) arranged on the back side of an insulating board on which a printed circuit (not shown) is printed on the front side. A plurality of connection holes 42 for connecting the connection portions 22 A and 22 B of the coil assembly 10 disposed on the front surface side to the bus bar 43 are provided at predetermined positions of the circuit board 41.

In the coil assembly 10, the surface in which the connection portions 22 A and 22 B are extended faces in the direction facing the circuit board 41, i.e., the axial direction L of the winding portion 21 is parallel to the plate surface of the circuit board 41. As a state, the circuit board 41 is arranged at a predetermined position, and the connection holes 26 of the

connection portions

22A and 22B (connection end portions 23) are overlapped with the connection holes 44 of the bus bar 43 exposed from the connection holes 42 of the circuit board 41. Then, the bolt 45 and the nut 46 are fastened (screwed) to connect to the bus bar 43 (conductive circuit) on the back side of the circuit board 41.

According to the configuration of the first embodiment as described above, a plurality of coils (

coils

20A and 20B of the present embodiment) that have been individually connected to the circuit board 41 are collectively formed as one coil assembly 10. It can be handled. That is, the number of parts can be reduced.

Also, in the conventional arrangement in which a plurality of individual coils are arranged side by side, the magnetic core of one coil and the magnetic core of the other coil are arranged between adjacent coils. According to the embodiment, the magnetic core 12 (the first core 12A and the second core 12B) disposed between the

adjacent coils

20A and 20B can be used as one intermediate core 12C. Therefore, the configuration is simplified as compared with the configuration in which two coils are arranged, and the coil assembly 10 can be downsized. As a result, the circuit structure 40 to which the coil assembly 10 is connected can be reduced in size.

Further, since the two-stage choke coil 11 is accommodated in the coil case 30 and the potting material 36 is filled in the coil case 30, vibration of air due to magnetostriction is eliminated, and noise is hardly generated. Further, rattling of the two-stage choke coil 11 in the coil case 30 is suppressed. Further, since it is not necessary to separately provide a holding structure for holding the two-stage choke coil 11 in the assembled state, the configuration is simplified, and the coil assembly 10 and thus the circuit structure 40 can be downsized.

Furthermore, the ends (

connection portions

22A, 22B) of the

coils

20A, 20B are extended from the winding portion 21 in the extending direction X, and the direction along the axial direction L of the winding portion 21 (intersection intersecting with the extending direction X). Since the structure is bent in the direction Y), the coil assembly 10 can be disposed on the circuit board 41 in a vertically placed state in which the axial direction L of the winding portion 21 is parallel to the plate surface of the circuit board 41. .
