  • Patent number: 9196413
    Abstract: [Problem] Provided is an injection-molded reactor which has excellent heat dissipation properties and in which the internal temperature of the core can be satisfactorily inhibited from rising due to heat generation when the reactor is in operation. [Solution Means] A material for a core obtained by mixing a soft magnetic powder, a resin binder, and a thermally conductive fibrous filler having a higher thermal conductivity than the soft magnetic powder in accordance with X·(soft magnetic powder)+Y·(thermally conductive filler)+(100-X-Y)·(resin binder), wherein X, indicating the proportion of the soft magnetic powder, is 83 to 96% by mass and Y, indicating the proportion of the thermally conductive filler, is 0.2 to 6.8% by mass, is used to mold a core 16 so that a coil 10 obtained by winding an electric wire is embedded therein without an interval, thereby configuring a reactor 15.

  • Publication number: 20130008890
    Abstract: [Problem] When a core is configured by injection-molding a mixture including a soft magnetic powder and a thermoplastic resin and a reactor is manufactured by integrating a coil in a state where the coil is embedded in the inner portion of core, positional misalignment or deformation of coil at the time of molding the core can be effectively prevented, and the core can be favorably molded using an injection molding method. [Solution Means] A reactor 15 is manufactured through a step A of encasing a coil 10 configured by winding a wire in a state where an insulating layer is interposed between the wires with an electrically insulating resin to mold an encased coil body 24, and a step of molding a core 16 by injection-molding a mixture including a soft magnetic powder and a thermoplastic resin in a state where the encased coil body 24 is enclosed.

  • Patent number: 7730755
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process of producing a permanent magnet, which includes extruding a preform to form a plate-shaped permanent magnet, in which the preform is extruded in such a way that a dimension of a cross section of the preform is reduced in an X-direction and enlarged in a Y-direction perpendicular to the X-direction. The present invention also relates to a plate-shaped permanent magnet formed by extruding a preform, in which the preform is extruded in such a way that a dimension of a cross section of the preform is reduced in an X-direction and enlarged in a Y-direction perpendicular to the X-direction, whereby the permanent magnet has a strain ratio ?2/?1 with respect to the preform in a range of 0.2 to 3.5, in which ?1 is a strain in the direction of the extrusion of the preform and ?2 is a strain in the Y-direction.

  • Patent number: 7325434
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a ring-shaped magnet includes arranging, in a penetrating hole formed in a die, a mandrel having a cylinder tip portion of a diameter d1, a cylinder base end portion of a diameter d2, provided d1<d2, and a taper portion positioned between the cylinder tip portion and the cylinder base end portion. The penetrating hole includes a first penetrating hole portion of a diameter D1, a second penetrating hole portion of a diameter D2, provided D1<D2, and a tapered hole portion of a positioned between the first penetrating hole portion and the second penetrating hole portion. The cylinder tip portion is loaded with a preform, and plastic-working is performed on the preform in a gap formed by the penetrating hole and the mandrel by pressing the preform with a pressing punch.
