When the electromagnetic coil 14 of the coil assembly is energized during the operation, the magnetic flux is diverted from the magnetic pole portion 11b of the first core 11 to the rotor 6 through the second gap,
Since it flows from the rotor 6 to the armature 9 through the first gap and from the armature 9 to the magnetic pole portion 12c of the second core 12 through the third gap, the armature 9
Are magnetically attracted to the rotor 6 and rotate. Then, the coil spring 8 is wound around the spring winding portions 4c and 7a, and the first rotating member 4 and the second rotating member 7 rotate integrally. When the excitation state is changed to the non-excitation state in which the energization to the electromagnetic coil 14 of the coil assembly is stopped, the magnetic flux disappears and the armature 9 is separated from the rotor 6. Therefore, the coil spring 8 self-returns by its elastic force, and the inner peripheral surface of the coil spring 8 is separated from the spring tightening surface 4c of the first rotating member 4, so that the second rotating member 4 Of the rotation to the rotating member 7 is shut off.

In the above description, an example in which the coil assembly shown as the embodiment of the present invention is used for an electromagnetic spring clutch has been described. However, the coil assembly of the present invention It can be used not only for magnetic coupling but also for solenoids and solenoid valves.

Through the terminal and the recess An electromagnetic coil wound around the groove and having a winding start end and a winding end end passing between guide portions of the terminal accommodating portion and electrically connected to the pin terminal portion; and a slit of the crimping portion. And a pair of lead wires pulled out from the terminal accommodating portion in the projecting direction of the pin terminal portion, so that the winding operation of the electromagnetic coil and the electrical connection between the lead wire and the terminal are performed. The operation can be simplified, the productivity can be improved, and an inexpensive coil assembly can be provided.

Further, the coil assembly of the present invention is provided with a terminal having a rod-shaped pin terminal portion extending from one side wall of the crimping portion on the center line of the slit, and each end of the electromagnetic coil is connected to the pin terminal portion. Since the electrical connection portion of the coil bobbin and the lead wire drawn from the terminal accommodating portion overlap each other, the terminal accommodating portion of the coil bobbin can be downsized.

The coil assembly according to the present invention also includes a cylindrical portion fitted on the outer peripheral surface of the coil holding portion of the coil bobbin, and a terminal housing for the coil bobbin protruding radially outward from one opening side of the cylindrical portion. A coil cover provided with an overhang portion covered on the back side of the portion, and a terminal cover fitted on the front side of the terminal accommodating portion of the coil bobbin and fitted into the opening of the overhang portion of the coil cover. The coil cover and the terminal cover cover the entire coil bobbin because the lead wire is sandwiched between the opening formed in the projecting portion of the coil cover and the groove formed in the opening of the terminal cover. Insulation protection of electromagnetic coils and electrical connection parts can be performed. Also, since the lead wire is fixed in cooperation with the groove formed in the opening of the overhang portion of the coil cover and the groove formed in the opening of the terminal cover, the conductive core wire of the lead wire and the terminal are connected by a light pulling force. It is possible to provide a coil assembly excellent in quality without breaking the connection portion with the coil assembly.

Still further, according to the coil assembly of the present invention, the terminal cover has a pressing portion for pressing the lead wire to the deepest side of the slit of the crimping portion, and a terminal engaging groove is provided at each of the four corners of the terminal press-fitting chamber. The protrusion formed on each side wall of the crimping portion of the terminal bites into the wall surface of the terminal engagement groove, so that the crimping portion of the lead wire and the terminal vibrate due to external vibration, and the electrical It is possible to provide a coil assembly excellent in quality without breaking the connection portion.
