Description

  The present invention relates to a coil component, and more particularly to a coil component including a drum core and a ring core.

Conventionally, as a power supply system common mode choke coil having a high impedance and a low DC resistance, a coil component combining a drum core around which a conductive wire is wound and a ring core has been proposed. In this coil component, for example, as shown in Patent Document 1, a metal terminal is caulked to a ring core, and an end of a conducting wire is connected to one of the metal terminals. When the coil component is mounted on the substrate, the other metal terminal is electrically connected to the metal terminal on the substrate.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-32146

  In the conventional coil component, the metal terminal is fixed to the core by caulking. Therefore, even if the substrate on which the coil component is mounted is distorted, the deformation of the metal terminal can transmit the strain to the core. It was suppressed. However, when an impact is applied, the metal terminal and the core may come off, and the reliability at a location where vibration or impact occurs is low.

  In order to solve this, a method of fixing the metal terminal using an adhesive may be considered, but conversely, when the substrate is distorted, the distortion may be transmitted to the core and the core may be destroyed, which is not preferable. It was. In addition, when fixed with an adhesive, for example, when a conductor is connected to a metal terminal using a laser, the adhesive may be carbonized by heat at the time of connection, the adhesiveness is reduced, and the substrate There was also a risk that the adhesive carbonized above would scatter.

  Then, an object of this invention is to provide the coil components with which a core and a metal terminal are joined suitably.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a drum core having a columnar core part and a pair of flanges provided at both ends of the core part, a conductor wound around the core part, and a drum core inserted therein. A ring core having a through-hole formed therein and a metal terminal provided in the ring core, the ring core having a first surface where one end of the through-hole is open, and the other end of the through-hole facing the first surface A coil component having at least a second surface to be opened is provided. In this coil component, the metal terminal includes a fixed portion fixed to the first surface, a mounting portion disposed on the second surface, a connecting portion to which the conducting wire is connected, a fixing portion, the mounting portion, and the connecting wire. And a resin adhesive layer is provided across the one flange portion, the first surface, and the fixed portion of the drum core. As an example, the coil component is a common mode choke coil.

  According to such a configuration, since the resin adhesive layer is interposed and fixed between the fixed portion of the metal terminal and the drum core, separation of the metal terminal and the drum core is prevented, and stress from the metal terminal to the drum core is reduced. Transmission can be reduced. Moreover, since there is a connecting portion between the mounting portion and the connecting portion and the fixing portion, the distance from the mounting portion and the connecting portion to the fixing portion can be increased. Therefore, when the heat generated in the mounting portion and the connecting portion is transmitted to the fixed portion by heat conduction, it can be suitably radiated at the connecting portion.

  In the above configuration, it is preferable that the mounting portion is directly connected to the connecting portion, and the connecting portion is connected to the mounting portion.

  According to such a configuration, the distance between the connecting portion and the mounting portion can be shortened. Therefore, the electrical resistance from the connecting portion to the mounting portion can be reduced. Further, since the connecting portion and the mounting portion are interposed between the connecting portion and the fixing portion, the heat generated in the connecting portion is transmitted to the mounting portion and the connecting portion, and is more preferably radiated.

  Moreover, in order to accommodate a connecting part, it is preferable that the groove part connected to a through-hole is formed in the 2nd surface.

  According to such a structure, a connection part can be accommodated in a groove part. Therefore, the connecting portion is protected from an external cause, and the connecting portion is prevented from coming into contact with the outside of the groove portion. In addition, since the groove portion communicates with the through hole, the conducting wire extending from the ring core disposed in the through hole can be wired from the communicating portion of the groove portion to the connecting portion. Therefore, wiring can be performed without forming an unnecessary bent portion in the conductive wire.

  According to the coil component of the present invention, the bondability between the core and the metal terminal can be improved.

A second connecting groove 226a is formed. Similarly, a fourth connecting groove 226b is formed at a corner portion of the second surface 22 where the second side surface 23B and the third side surface 24A intersect, and a corner portion where the second side surface 23B and the fourth side surface 24B intersect with each other. A third connecting groove 225b is formed.

  In addition, the metal terminal 5A and the metal terminal 6A are portions of the second surface 22 intersecting with the first side surface 23A and partitioned by the through hole 2a, the first connection groove 225a, and the second connection groove 226a. A first terminal attachment surface 22A to be attached is defined. Similarly, a second terminal attachment surface 22B to which the metal terminal 5B and the metal terminal 6B are attached is defined at the portion of the second surface 22 that intersects the second side surface 23B.

  The first metal terminal 5A and the third metal terminal 5B, and the second metal terminal 6A and the fourth metal terminal 6B are respectively attached to the ring core 2, but the first metal terminal 5A and the third metal terminal 5B have the same shape. Since the second metal terminal 6A and the fourth metal terminal 6B have the same shape, the first metal terminal 5A and the second metal terminal 6A will be described as representatives.

  The first metal terminal 5A and the second metal terminal 6A shown in FIG. 3 are manufactured by punching and bending a plate-like metal plate having conductivity and elasticity with a die, 51A and the second fixing portion 61A, the first mounting portion 52A and the second mounting portion 62A, the first connecting portion 53A and the second connecting portion 63A. The first fixing part 51A and the first mounting part 52A, and the second fixing part 61A and the second mounting part 62A are arranged so as to be substantially parallel to each other.

  A first mounting portion connecting portion 54A is provided between the first fixing portion 51A and the first mounting portion 52A to connect the first fixing portion 51A and the first mounting portion 52A. Therefore, the first metal terminal 5A is configured such that the cross-sectional shape thereof is substantially U-shaped from the first fixing portion 51A, the first mounting portion 52A, and the first mounting portion connecting portion 54A, and the first fixing portion The space between the free end side of the part 51A and the first mounting part 52A is slightly narrower than the fixed end side.

A space between the free end side of the fixed portion 61A and the second mounting portion 62A is slightly narrower than the fixed end side.

  In the first metal terminal 5A shown in FIG. 3, the first mounting portion connecting portion 54A is assumed to be the back surface, and the first mounting portion 52A and the first fixing portion 51A are assumed to be the top surface and the bottom surface. A first connecting portion 53A is provided at a substantially intermediate position between the first mounting portion 52A and the first fixing portion 51A on the right side surface side. The first connecting portion 53A is connected to the first mounting portion 52A by a first connecting portion connecting portion 55A. Therefore, the distance from the first connecting portion 53A to the first mounting portion 52A depends on the first connecting portion connecting portion 55A, and from the first connecting portion 53A of the first connecting portion connecting portion 55A to the first mounting portion. By shortening the distance to 52A, the electrical resistance of the metal terminal 5A can be reduced. The first connecting portion 53A is configured to have a substantially U-shaped cross section together with the first connecting portion connecting portion 55A.

  In the second metal terminal 6A as well as the first metal terminal 5A, the second mounting portion connection portion 64A is assumed to be the back surface, and the second mounting portion 62A and the second fixing portion 61A are assumed to be the top surface and the bottom surface. Thus, a second connecting portion 63A is provided on the left side of the metal terminal 6A and at a substantially intermediate position between the second mounting portion 62A and the second fixing portion 61A. The second connecting portion 63A is connected to the second mounting portion 62A by a second connecting portion connecting portion 65A. In addition, the second connecting portion 63A is configured to have a substantially U-shaped cross section together with the second connecting portion connecting portion 65A.

  When the first metal terminal 5A is attached to the ring core 2, as shown in FIG. 2, the first fixing portion 51A is inserted into the first fixing groove 215a opened in the first side surface 23A, and The first mounting portion 52A is disposed on the first terminal mounting surface 22A. Since the free end sides of the first fixing portion 51A and the first mounting portion 52A are slightly narrowed, the metal terminal 5A has the ring core 2 so as to sandwich the bottom surface of the first fixing groove 215a and the first terminal mounting surface 22A. Attached to. Further, when the metal terminal 5A is attached to the ring core 2, the first connecting portion 53A is inserted into the first connecting groove 225a.

  Similarly, the second metal terminal 6A is also inserted into the second fixing groove 216a having the second fixing portion 61A opened in the first side surface 23A, and the second mounting portion 62A is disposed on the first terminal mounting surface 22A. It attaches to the ring core 2 so that the 2nd fixing groove 216a bottom face and 22 A of 1st terminal attachment surfaces may be pinched. The second connecting portion 63A is inserted into the second connecting groove 226a.

  The third metal terminal 5B also sandwiches the bottom surface of the third fixing groove 215b and the second terminal mounting surface 22B, and the fourth metal terminal 6B also sandwiches the bottom surface of the fourth fixing groove 216b and the second terminal mounting surface 22B. Thus, the third connecting portion 53B and the fourth connecting portion 63B are inserted into the third connecting groove 225b and the fourth connecting groove 226b, respectively.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the drum core 3 is configured by providing a pair of substantially disc-shaped first and second flange portions 31 and 32 at both ends of a columnar core portion 33. The thickness of the drum core 3 from the first collar 31 to the second collar 32 through the core 33 is substantially the same as the thickness in the direction from the first surface 21 to the second surface 22 of the ring core 2. The diameter of the 1st collar part 31 and the 2nd collar part 32 is formed so that it may become slightly smaller than the internal diameter of the through-hole 2a. A pair of conducting wires 7 including a first conducting wire 75 and a second conducting wire 76 are wound around the core portion 33. As shown in FIG. 5, the first conductive wire 75 and the second conductive wire 76 have end portions extending from the core portion 33 in substantially four directions.

  The drum core 3 around which the conducting wire 7 is wound is inserted into the through hole 2a from the second surface 22 side. As shown in FIG. 1, the side surface of the first core portion 31 opposite to the winding core portion 33 and the first surface 21 are inserted. And are arranged so as to be flush with each other. As shown in FIG. 6, one end of the conducting wire 75 is inserted into the first connecting groove 225a and wired to the first connecting portion 53A, and the other end of the conducting wire 75 is inserted into the third connecting groove 225b. It is wired to the third connecting portion 53B. Also, one end of the conducting wire 76 is inserted into the second connecting groove 226a and wired to the second connecting portion 63A, and the other end of the conducting wire 76 is inserted into the fourth connecting groove 226b and wired to the fourth connecting portion 63B. Is done. In this case, in the direction from the first surface 21 to the second surface 22, the conductive wire 75 and the conductive wire 76 have a position where the end portion extends from the core portion 33 (FIG. 4) and a position where the wire is connected. Since the positions are substantially the same, the end portions of the conducting wire 75 and the conducting wire 76 can be connected without being bent so much. Therefore, disconnection of the conducting wire 7 caused by bending the conducting wire 7 for wiring can be prevented.

  After wiring the conducting wire 75 and the conducting wire 76, as shown in FIG. 1, the resin adhesive layer 8 that is an adhesive is applied across the first surface 21 and the first flange portion 31. The resin adhesive layer 8 connects the first surface 21 and the first flange 31 so that the ring core 2 and the drum core 3 are integrated. Further, since the resin adhesive layer 8 is applied to the first fixed portion 51A to the fourth fixed portion 61B of the first metal terminal 5A to the fourth metal terminal 6B simultaneously with the surface 21, the first metal terminal 5A to the fourth metal terminal. 6B and the ring core 2 are rigidly joined.

  After the resin adhesive layer 8 is applied, the first connecting portion 53A to the fourth connecting portion 63B are irradiated with laser light by a laser irradiation device (not shown) to melt and connect each connecting portion and the conducting wire. At this time, for example, a large amount of heat is supplied to the first connecting portion 53A, and the temperature of the first connecting portion 53A also rises. Since the first metal terminal 5A is bonded to the ring core 2 by the resin bonding layer 8 at the first fixing portion 51A, the heat generated at the first connecting portion 53A is transmitted to the first fixing portion 51A and the resin bonding layer. 8 may be carbonized. However, in the first metal terminal 5A according to the present embodiment, the first connecting portion connecting portion 55A, the first mounting portion 52A, the first connecting portion 55A, and the first mounting portion 52A are reached from the first connecting portion 53A to the first fixing portion 51A. It is necessary to go through the mounting part connecting part 54A. Therefore, the heat generated in the first connecting portion 53A is radiated into the atmosphere from the first connecting portion connecting portion 55A, the first mounting portion 52A, and the first mounting portion connecting portion 54A, or is absorbed by the ring core 2 to be first. The high temperature is suppressed from being transmitted to the fixing portion 51A, and the resin adhesive layer 8 is prevented from being carbonized. Since the second metal terminal 6A, the third metal terminal 5B, and the fourth metal terminal 5B have the same configuration, any metal terminal can be connected while suppressing high temperature from being transmitted to the resin adhesive layer 8. it can.

  When the coil component 1 completed by connecting the conductive wires 7 is mounted on a substrate (not shown), the first mounting portion 52A to the fourth mounting portion 62B are electrically connected by electrodes and solder on the substrate (not shown). To be joined. By this soldering, the substrate (not shown) and the first metal terminal 5A to the fourth metal terminal 6B are rigidly joined. After the coil component 1 is mounted on a board (not shown), for example, when the board (not shown) is deformed due to stress, the first metal terminal 5A to the fourth metal terminal 6B follow the board (not shown). Deform. However, the ring core 2 is bonded to the first metal terminal 5A to the fourth metal terminal 6B only through the first fixing part 51A to the fourth fixing part 61B, and the first mounting part 52A to the fourth mounting part 62B, About one mounting part connection part 54A-the 4th mounting part connection part 64B, it is only contact | abutting with the 1st side surface 23A, the 2nd side surface 23B, and the 2nd surface 22. Therefore, even if the first metal terminal 5A to the fourth metal terminal 6B are deformed following the substrate (not shown), the ring core 2 and the first metal terminal 5A to the fourth metal terminal 5A to the first metal terminal 5A to the first metal terminal 5A only. Since the four metal terminals 6B are connected to each other, the stress input to the ring core 2 from a substrate (not shown) is reduced, and the ring core 2 can be prevented from being damaged such as a core crack. Moreover, although the conducting wire 7 may generate heat when energized, since the resin adhesive layer 8 is not applied to the conducting wire 7 in the coil component 1, the peeling of the resin adhesive layer 8 due to thermal expansion caused by the heat generation of the conducting wire 7 is prevented. It is hard to occur.

  Further, even when the ring core 2 and the first fixing portion 51A to the fourth fixing portion 61B are dissociated by the adhesion by the resin adhesive layer 8, the first metal terminal 5A, the second metal terminal 6A and the third metal are separated. The first metal terminal 5A to the fourth metal so that the substantially U-shaped free ends of the first metal terminal 5A to the fourth metal terminal 6B are positioned in the direction in which the terminal 5B and the fourth metal terminal 6B face each other. Since the terminal 6B is disposed, at least from the first metal terminal 5A to the fourth metal terminal 6B in the direction from the first metal terminal 5A and the second metal terminal 6A to the third metal terminal 5B and the fourth metal terminal 6B. The ring core 2 will not come off. The first metal terminal 5A to the fourth metal terminal 6B sandwich the ring core 2 between the first fixing portion 51A to the fourth fixing portion 61B and the first mounting portion 52A to the fourth mounting portion 62B, and Since the first fixing portion 51A to the fourth fixing portion 61B are inserted into the first fixing groove 215a to the fourth fixing groove 216b, the first metal terminal 5A and the second metal terminal 6A to the third metal terminal 5B and the The ring core 2 is not detached from the first metal terminal 5A to the fourth metal terminal 6B even in the direction orthogonal to the direction toward the four metal terminal 6B.
