Description

  The present invention relates to a fixing structure for fixing a measuring body having a lead wire to a body to be measured, and more particularly to a fixing structure suitable for fixing a thermistor to a reactor.

  As a reactor used in an in-vehicle booster circuit, a reactor part in which a coil is formed by winding a winding around a resin bobbin arranged around the core is made of a metal to mainly dissipate heat generated from the coil. After storing in a case, the thing which poured and solidified the filler in a case is used in many cases (for example, refer patent document 1).

  In this type of reactor, if a high current continues to flow, the coil will be overheated and the electrical characteristics will deteriorate. Therefore, the internal temperature is measured by a thermistor, and energization control is performed so that the coil does not generate heat above a certain temperature.

  In order to fix the thermistor to the reactor, it is necessary to attach the thermistor to the temperature measurement part of the reactor and fix the lead wire extending from the thermistor to a bobbin or the like. At that time, it is necessary to prevent the coil coating from being damaged by rubbing between the lead wire and the coil due to the vibration of the reactor. Therefore, conventionally, a glass tube is put on a lead wire, and it is fastened to a bobbin or the like using a clip.
