Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 5, for example, a choke coil has a gap G formed on one side of a ring-shaped magnetic circuit A deviating from the central portion so as to have a small cross-sectional area. When the load current of the coil C wound around is small and the magnetic circuit in the portion where the gap is provided is not saturated, the inductance is large and the load current is large,
Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 62-165310 discloses a device in which the inductance is reduced when the magnetic circuit in the portion where the gap is provided is saturated. Further, as shown in FIG. 6, for example, an E-type core and an I-type core are butted to form a magnetic circuit A, and a magnetic circuit having a higher magnetic permeability than the E-type core and the I-type core is formed between the E-type core and the I-type core. While sandwiching the high soft magnetic material B, the coil C is wound around the central leg A 1 of the E-shaped core so that the inductance increases while the current flowing through the coil is small, and the inductance decreases when the current increases. Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 63-228605 has been disclosed.

コイルを提供することを目的とするものである。However, in the former prior art described above, since a gap is provided on one side of the magnetic circuit, which is deviated from the central portion of the magnetic circuit, a magnetic flux is generated and the magnetic characteristics become unstable. There was a problem. Further, in the latter prior art, the soft magnetic material is sandwiched between the E-shaped core and the I-shaped core. However, when a DC magnetic field is applied to the soft magnetic material, demagnetization which becomes a magnet occurs. However, since the magnetic flux saturates quickly while the current is small, there is a problem that the inductance becomes the same as when it hardly changes. It is an object of the present invention to provide a choke coil having a stable magnetic characteristic and a simple structure capable of changing the inductance according to a change in load current.

両側に二つの磁気回路を形成してもよい。With such a structure, when the negative overcurrent flowing through the coil 5 is small, the magnetic flux Φ 1 induced by the load current flows through the end legs 3a and 3b of the core 1 and the central leg 3c, but at the center. The magnetic flux Φ 1 flowing in the leg 3c is as shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 3, all pass through the narrow portion 5, and the inductance L 1 as a choke coil has a large value as shown in FIG. When the load current increases, the magnetic flux increases, and as shown in FIG. 2B, the narrow portion 5 causes magnetic saturation, and the magnetic flux Φ 2 flowing through the central leg 3c generates a magnetic flux that does not pass through the narrow portion 5, As shown in FIG. 3, the inductance L 2 as a choke coil becomes small. In this way, since the narrow portion 5 where magnetic saturation occurs is provided in the central leg 3c, the inductance is increased when the load current is small, and magnetic saturation is generated when the load current is large to reduce the inductance. It can have characteristics. At this time, even if magnetic saturation occurs, there is no leakage to the outside and no magnetic flux is generated, and the magnetic characteristics are stable. Further, since the narrow portion 5 is made of the same material as that of the core which is a ferromagnetic material, it is possible to change the inductance according to the change of the load current without causing the demagnetization. Note that the narrow portion 5 of the core 1 may be formed by stacking the E-shaped core 2 having the protruding portion 4 including the plurality of teeth 41 at the tip of the central leg 3c, as shown in FIG. Further, in the above embodiment, an example in which two E-shaped cores are butted against each other to form a core has been described. However, the E-shaped core and the I-shaped core are combined to form a narrow portion between the central leg and the I-shaped core, and the central portion is formed. Two magnetic circuits may be formed on both sides of the leg.
