  • Patent number: 10964470
    Abstract: A coil includes first and second coil elements both of which are formed by feeding one piece of a rectangular wire rod by a predetermined amount and winding rectangularly in an edgewise manner using winding heads, the first and second coil elements being wound in opposite directions from each other. A winding terminating end point of the first coil element is bent approximately 90 degrees in a direction opposite to a winding direction of the first coil element, and is connected to a winding terminating end point of the second coil element in a same flat plane. The second coil element includes an offset portion of the rectangular wire rod that is offset in a plan view from a side of the second coil element.

  • Patent number: 10403430
    Abstract: A reactor coil includes first and second coil elements each formed by edgewise and rectangular winding of one piece of rectangular wire rod in a manner in which the wound rectangular wire rod is stacked rectangularly and cylindrically and, at a winding terminating end point of the first coil element, the rectangular wire rod is bent approximately 90 degrees in a direction opposite to the winding direction of the first coil element so that the rectangular wire rod is stacked in a direction opposite to the stacking direction of the first coil element and is wound edgewisely and rectangularly in a direction opposite to the winding direction of the first coil element to form the second coil element and, as a result, the first coil element and second coil element are aligned in parallel to each other in a continuous state.

  • Patent number: 10224134
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a reactor includes a pair of coils and a pair of core units of partial I-shaped cores with gap members butted together and mounted in the coils. The respective ends of the I-shaped cores are pressed against the ends of a pair of U-shaped cores. The U-shaped cores and the I-shaped cores are formed by pressing powder in movable dies that preheat any burrs formed during pressing to be positioned in a direction different from the winding axis direction to avoid any contact with the coil.

  • Patent number: 10026548
    Abstract: First and second divisional cores each including right and left leg portions and a yoke interconnecting those together are formed by molding respective yoke-side core members in a resin. Cylindrical core mounting portions extending from the outer circumference of the surface of the yoke-side core member are formed integrally with the respective right and left leg portions of the first divisional core. I-shaped leg-portion-side core members and spacers are attached in the cylindrical core mounting portion formed in each of the right and left leg portions. The surface of the yoke-side core member molded in the resin and the surface of the leg-portion-side core member are disposed so as to have a spacer therebetween. The two divisional cores are joined together by butting respective leg portions of the two divisional cores with each other to form an annular mold core, and a coil is wound around the mold core.

  • Patent number: 9978498
    Abstract: A resin-mold core includes right and left leg portions, and a yoke portion interconnecting those. The resin-mold core includes a magnetic core, and a mold component having the magnetic core embedded therein by molding. Openings where the magnetic core in the mold component is exposed are formed in multiple faces of the mold component that are upper, lower, front, rear, and right and left faces. A part of the yoke portion of the resin-mold core corresponding to a location where terminals are drawn to the exterior of the core from coils attached to the outer circumferences of the leg portions of the core has no opening formed in the multiple faces of the mold component. Positioning members to coaxially align the leg portions of the opposing resin-mold core are formed in abutting faces of the leg portions of the resin-mold core.

  • Patent number: 9881730
    Abstract: A reactor includes an annular core, coils, a sensor detecting a state of the reactor, and a connector outputting signal from the sensor. Resin-molded bodies are provided around the annular core. The resin-molded body has bobbins for the respective coils and core covering portions formed integrally with each other. An exposed area where no resin covers the bottom of the core is formed in the lower face of the covering portions. A holder to fasten the connector is formed integrally with the upper portion of the covering portion. An assembly including the resin-molded bodies in which the annular core is embedded, and the coils wound around the bobbins are retained in a metal casing. A clearance is formed between the assembly and the casing, and a filler is filled in this clearance. The filler covers the exposed area of the core bottom.
