Patent number: 9881724Abstract: A reactor 2 disclosed by the present specification is equipped with two coils 3 that are arranged parallel to each other, a resin cover 41 that adheres to the two coils to cover the coils, and a column member 13. The resin cover 41 exposes lateral faces of the coils on such a side as to be in contact with a common tangential plane KL. The column member 13 is arranged parallel to the coils 3 in a space that is surrounded by the common tangential plane KL and the lateral faces of the respective coils 3. The column member 13 is exposed on a side thereof that is opposed to the common tangential plane KL, and is in contact with the respective coils 3 on the other side thereof. Furthermore, the column member 13 has a groove 13a that has an opening on the other side of the common tangential plane KL and extends along coil axes. The groove has a width that is narrow at the opening and widens toward a bottom of the groove. An interior of the groove is filled with resin of the resin cover 41.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2014Date of Patent: January 30, 2018Assignees: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHA, TOKAI KOGYO CO., LTD.Inventors: Shuichi Hirata, Nobuki Shinohara, Takeshi Okada, Yoshikazu Kamikawa, Kazuo Hirasawa

Patent number: 8786391Abstract: Provided is a reactor which uses a reactor core in which J-shaped iron cores are oppositely disposed in a ring shape. In the ring shape, an axial outer circumferential part of a first coil wound around a first gap and an axial outer circumferential part of a second coil wound around a second gap overlap each other in an axial direction. Regarding four holding stay parts disposed at four corners of the reactor, the rigidity of the holding stay parts close to the first gap and the second gap is lower than the rigidity of the holding stay parts far from the first gap and the second gap.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2011Date of Patent: July 22, 2014Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Mao Nobusaka, Nobuki Shinohara

Patent number: 8680961Abstract: The disclosed reactor has a case and a cylindrical molded coil assembly which is disposed inside of the case and which is formed by covering a coil with a resin, wherein the coil assembly is sealed by an iron powder mixed resin to which iron powder has been admixed. The reactor has a pillar provided as a single body with the case, and one or multiple ring-shaped core members. The ring-shaped core members are disposed outside the outer surface of the pillar such that the pillar is inserted inside the inner surface of said ring-shaped core members, and the assembly coil is disposed outside the outer surface of the ring-shaped core members such that the ring-shaped core members are inserted inside the inner surface of said coil assembly. The ring-shaped core members are sealed by means of the aforementioned iron powder-mixed resin.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2010Date of Patent: March 25, 2014Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Shuji Yokota, Masaki Sugiyama, Shinjiro Saigusa, Nobuki Shinohara
