 [構成]
 図1は、実施の形態に係る端子1を示す概略図である。図1に示すように、端子1は、モータの一部であるステータ100に対して設けられている。具体的には、端子1は、ステータ100を構成する複数のコイル101に設けられている。端子1は、モータに対して電力を供給する電源部に搭載された回路基板からコイル101に電力供給を行う。端子1は、柱状金属端子10と、金属ワイヤ20と、埋設部30とを備えている。
[Constitution]
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a terminal 1 according to the embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the terminal 1 is provided for a stator 100 that is a part of the motor. Specifically, the terminal 1 is provided on the plurality of coils 101 that form the stator 100. The terminal 1 supplies power to the coil 101 from a circuit board mounted on a power supply unit that supplies power to the motor. The terminal 1 includes a columnar metal terminal 10, a metal wire 20, and an embedded portion 30.
 図2は、実施の形態に係る端子1を示す断面図である。具体的には、図2は、図1におけるII-II線を含む切断面を見た断面図である。 FIG. 2 is a sectional view showing the terminal 1 according to the embodiment. Specifically, FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of a section including the line II-II in FIG.
 図2に示すように、柱状金属端子10は、コイル101と電気的に接続された柱状の金属端子である。柱状金属端子10は、金属ワイヤ20の一部である金属線21と電気的に接続されている。具体的には、柱状金属端子10は、金属線21が巻き付けられた状態で金属線21に対して接合されている。柱状金属端子10は、例えば、銅(Cu)を主成分とする金属からなる部材である。なお、柱状金属端子10は、その他の金属から形成されていてもよいし、その表面にメッキ層を有していてもよい。 As shown in FIG. 2, the pillar-shaped metal terminal 10 is a pillar-shaped metal terminal electrically connected to the coil 101. The columnar metal terminal 10 is electrically connected to the metal wire 21 which is a part of the metal wire 20. Specifically, the columnar metal terminal 10 is joined to the metal wire 21 in a state where the metal wire 21 is wound. The columnar metal terminal 10 is, for example, a member made of a metal whose main component is copper (Cu). The columnar metal terminal 10 may be made of other metal, or may have a plating layer on its surface.
 本実施の形態では、金属線21が柱状金属端子10に絡げられた状態で、金属線21と柱状金属端子10とが接合されている。ここで「絡げる」とは、対象物に対して線材が巻き付けられた状態で結ばれていることをいい、結わえられたことで金属線21同士が重なった部分(交差部23:図3参照)が存在していることをいう。金属線21は、所定のピッチ間隔をあけて柱状金属端子10に対して一重で巻き付けられている。なお、金属線21は、柱状金属端子10に対して多重で巻き付けられていてもよい。 In the present embodiment, the metal wire 21 and the columnar metal terminal 10 are joined in a state where the metal wire 21 is entwined with the columnar metal terminal 10. Here, "to be entangled" means that the wire is wound around the target object, and the metal wires 21 are overlapped by the connection (intersection 23: FIG. 3). (See) exists. The metal wire 21 is wound around the columnar metal terminal 10 in a single layer at a predetermined pitch. The metal wire 21 may be wound around the pillar-shaped metal terminal 10 in multiple layers.
 柱状金属端子10は、例えば、軸方向視において短辺が約0.4mm、長辺が0.6mmの長方形である。また、金属ワイヤ20では、金属線21の線径が約0.15mmである。 The columnar metal terminal 10 is, for example, a rectangle having a short side of about 0.4 mm and a long side of 0.6 mm when viewed in the axial direction. Further, in the metal wire 20, the wire diameter of the metal wire 21 is about 0.15 mm.
 柱状金属端子10は、軸方向視において四角形である。なお、柱状金属端子10は、軸方向視において四角形であることに限定されず、例えば、四角形以外の多角形状、円形状、楕円形状、長円形状などであってもよい。 The columnar metal terminal 10 is a quadrangle when viewed in the axial direction. The columnar metal terminal 10 is not limited to a quadrangle when viewed in the axial direction, and may have a polygonal shape other than a quadrangle, a circular shape, an elliptical shape, an oval shape, or the like.
 金属線21は、金属ワイヤ20の一部を構成し、金属製の線材である。具体的には、金属線21は、アルミニウム(Al)を主成分とする金属から形成されている。金属線21は、当該金属線21同士が柱状金属端子10の周方向に重なりあう交差部23を形成している。交差部23は、柱状金属端子10のいずれかの側面と接触するように形成されている。図2に示すように、金属線21の断面形状は、柱状金属端子10側の第一外縁211が円弧状であるが、その反対側の第二外縁212は、第一外縁211よりも曲率半径が大きくなっている。このため、金属線21の断面形状は、全体として偏平な形状となっている。 The metal wire 21 constitutes a part of the metal wire 20 and is a metal wire material. Specifically, the metal wire 21 is formed of a metal whose main component is aluminum (Al). The metal wires 21 form intersections 23 where the metal wires 21 overlap each other in the circumferential direction of the columnar metal terminal 10. The intersecting portion 23 is formed so as to come into contact with either side surface of the columnar metal terminal 10. As shown in FIG. 2, the cross-sectional shape of the metal wire 21 is such that the first outer edge 211 on the columnar metal terminal 10 side has an arc shape, but the second outer edge 212 on the opposite side has a radius of curvature larger than that of the first outer edge 211. Is getting bigger. Therefore, the sectional shape of the metal wire 21 is a flat shape as a whole.
 埋設部30は、柱状金属端子10に巻き付けられた金属線21を、当該柱状金属端子10の側面上で埋設している。具体的には、埋設部30は、金属線21における交差部23と、柱状金属端子10に巻き付けられた部分とを埋設している。埋設部30は、柱状金属端子10の全周にわたって連続した状態で、金属線21における柱状金属端子10に巻き付けられた部位を覆っている。埋設部30は、その外表面が、金属線21における柱状金属端子10に巻き付けられた部位に倣った凹凸形状を有している。つまり、金属線21に対応する部位においては埋設部30は凸状となっており、金属線21のピッチ間隔に対応する部位においては埋設部30は凹状となっている。 The embedding part 30 embeds the metal wire 21 wound around the columnar metal terminal 10 on the side surface of the columnar metal terminal 10. Specifically, the embedding portion 30 embeds the intersection portion 23 of the metal wire 21 and the portion wound around the columnar metal terminal 10. The embedded portion 30 covers the portion of the metal wire 21 wound around the columnar metal terminal 10 in a continuous state over the entire circumference of the columnar metal terminal 10. The embedded portion 30 has an outer surface having a concavo-convex shape that follows the portion of the metal wire 21 wound around the columnar metal terminal 10. That is, the embedded portion 30 has a convex shape in the portion corresponding to the metal wire 21, and the embedded portion 30 has a concave shape in the portion corresponding to the pitch interval of the metal wire 21.
 埋設部30は、コールドスプレー法によって吹き付けられた金属微粒子群40(図5参照)によって形成されている。埋設部30内においては、金属ワイヤ20の一部である絶縁被膜22が、金属線21における柱状金属端子10側の表面を覆っている。つまり、金属線21と柱状金属端子10との間には絶縁層29が配置されている。金属線21における柱状金属端子10側の表面以外の領域は、絶縁被膜22によって覆われておらず、埋設部30によって直接的に覆われている。 The buried portion 30 is formed by the metal fine particle group 40 (see FIG. 5) sprayed by the cold spray method. In the embedded portion 30, the insulating coating film 22 which is a part of the metal wire 20 covers the surface of the metal wire 21 on the columnar metal terminal 10 side. That is, the insulating layer 29 is arranged between the metal wire 21 and the columnar metal terminal 10. The region of the metal wire 21 other than the surface on the side of the columnar metal terminal 10 is not covered with the insulating coating 22, but is directly covered with the embedded portion 30.
 [端子の接合方法]
 柱状金属端子10への金属ワイヤ20の接合方法について説明する。
[Terminal joining method]
A method of joining the metal wire 20 to the columnar metal terminal 10 will be described.
 まず、接合前の金属ワイヤ20について説明をする。金属ワイヤ20は、金属線21に絶縁性の樹脂からなる絶縁被膜22が形成されている(図5参照)。金属ワイヤ20は、例えば、エナメル線、リード線等である。絶縁被膜22は、例えばウレタン、ポリエステル、ポリエステルイミド、ポリアミドイミド等の樹脂材料で構成されている。 First, the metal wire 20 before joining will be described. The metal wire 20 has a metal wire 21 on which an insulating coating 22 made of an insulating resin is formed (see FIG. 5 ). The metal wire 20 is, for example, an enamel wire, a lead wire, or the like. The insulating coating 22 is made of a resin material such as urethane, polyester, polyester imide, or polyamide imide.
 図3は、実施の形態に係り、柱状金属端子10に金属ワイヤ20を絡げた状態を示す説明図である。図3の(a)は、柱状金属端子10の軸方向と直交する方向から見た、柱状金属端子10に金属ワイヤ20を絡げた状態を示す。図3の(b)は、柱状金属端子10の軸方向から見た、柱状金属端子10に金属ワイヤ20を絡げた状態を示す。また、図4は、実施の形態に係り、柱状金属端子10に金属ワイヤ20を絡げる工程を示すフロー図である。 FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing a state in which the metal wire 20 is entangled with the columnar metal terminal 10 according to the embodiment. FIG. 3A shows a state in which the metal wire 20 is entangled with the columnar metal terminal 10 as seen from a direction orthogonal to the axial direction of the columnar metal terminal 10. FIG. 3B shows a state in which the metal wire 20 is entwined with the columnar metal terminal 10 as viewed in the axial direction of the columnar metal terminal 10. Further, FIG. 4 is a flow chart showing a step of entwining the metal wire 20 around the columnar metal terminal 10 according to the embodiment.
 図3及び図4に示すように、まず、柱状金属端子10は、図示しない治具に対して固定される。これにより、柱状金属端子10は、金属ワイヤ20を巻き付けることが可能な状態となる(S111)。その後、金属ワイヤ20は、一定の張力を受けながら、柱状金属端子10の周囲に対して巻き付けられる。また、金属ワイヤ20は、1ターン目、2ターン目と巻き付けられる際には、金属ワイヤ20における巻き始め箇所に重なるように柱状金属端子10に巻き付けられる。これにより、金属ワイヤ20同士が交差した交差部23が形成される(S112)。 As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, first, the columnar metal terminal 10 is fixed to a jig (not shown). As a result, the columnar metal terminal 10 is in a state in which the metal wire 20 can be wound (S111). Then, the metal wire 20 is wound around the columnar metal terminal 10 while receiving a constant tension. Further, when the metal wire 20 is wound in the first turn and the second turn, it is wound around the columnar metal terminal 10 so as to overlap the winding start portion of the metal wire 20. As a result, the intersection portion 23 where the metal wires 20 intersect each other is formed (S112).
 さらに、金属ワイヤ20は柱状金属端子10に対して数ターン巻き付けられる(S113)。金属ワイヤ20は、交差部23を除けば概ねコイル状となるように、柱状金属端子10に巻き付けられることとなる。これにより、金属ワイヤ20は柱状金属端子10の側面上に配置された状態となる。その後、金属ワイヤ20の不要な箇所がニッパ等で切断されて、金属ワイヤ20が整えられることで、図5に示す組立品200が得られる。図5は、実施の形態に係り、組立品200の作成及びコールドスプレー工程を示す図である。 Further, the metal wire 20 is wound around the columnar metal terminal 10 for several turns (S113). The metal wire 20 is wound around the columnar metal terminal 10 so as to have a substantially coil shape except for the intersection 23. As a result, the metal wire 20 is placed on the side surface of the columnar metal terminal 10. After that, unnecessary parts of the metal wire 20 are cut with a nipper or the like, and the metal wire 20 is arranged, whereby the assembly 200 shown in FIG. 5 is obtained. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a process of making an assembly 200 and a cold spray process according to the embodiment.
 図5に示すように、組立品200が作成されると、当該組立品200に対してコールドスプレー法によるコールドスプレー工程が施される。コールドスプレー工程では、組立品200に対して、コールドスプレー装置のノズル300から金属微粒子群40を固相状態のままで吹き付けることで、埋設部30を形成する。吹付け時においては、一般的な溶射法と比較して金属微粒子群40を低い温度で加熱している。この工程では、金属微粒子群40を吹き付けながらノズル300を組立品200に対して回転させる(図5の矢印Y1参照)。なお、ノズル300を固定した状態で、組立品200を回転させてもよい。これにより、柱状金属端子10及び金属ワイヤ20上に金属微粒子群40が堆積して、柱状金属端子10の全周に連続するように埋設部30が形成される。このとき、金属微粒子群40が吹き付けられることで、金属ワイヤ20の絶縁被膜22の一部が削られ除去される。具体的には、絶縁被膜22における柱状金属端子10とは反対側の部分が除去される。一方、絶縁被膜22における柱状金属端子10側の部分は絶縁層29として残存する。絶縁層29が残存したとしても、金属線21は、埋設部30を介して柱状金属端子10と電気的に接続されることとなる。 As shown in FIG. 5, when the assembly 200 is created, the assembly 200 is subjected to a cold spray process by the cold spray method. In the cold spray process, the embedded part 30 is formed by spraying the metal fine particle group 40 in the solid phase state from the nozzle 300 of the cold spray device onto the assembly 200. At the time of spraying, the metal fine particle group 40 is heated at a lower temperature as compared with a general thermal spraying method. In this step, the nozzle 300 is rotated with respect to the assembly 200 while spraying the metal fine particle group 40 (see arrow Y1 in FIG. 5). The assembly 200 may be rotated while the nozzle 300 is fixed. Thereby, the metal fine particle group 40 is deposited on the columnar metal terminal 10 and the metal wire 20, and the embedded portion 30 is formed so as to be continuous over the entire circumference of the columnar metal terminal 10. At this time, by spraying the metal fine particle group 40, a part of the insulating coating 22 of the metal wire 20 is scraped and removed. Specifically, the portion of the insulating coating 22 on the side opposite to the columnar metal terminal 10 is removed. On the other hand, the portion of the insulating coating film 22 on the columnar metal terminal 10 side remains as the insulating layer 29. Even if the insulating layer 29 remains, the metal wire 21 will be electrically connected to the columnar metal terminal 10 via the embedded portion 30.
 ここで、金属微粒子群40には、硬さの異なる複数の金属微粒子が含まれている。硬さの異なる金属微粒子としては、錫(Sn)粒子とニッケル(Ni)粒子との組み合わせなどが挙げられる。なお、その他の金属微粒子が含まれていてもよい。硬い金属微粒子は、絶縁被膜22を削るのに適しており、柔らかい金属微粒子は堆積しやすい点で適している。硬い金属微粒子と、柔らかい金属微粒子とを適切な割合で混合しておくことで、埋設部30の厚みを確保しつつ、絶縁被膜22を迅速に削ることが可能となる。また、絶縁被膜22が削られた後には、金属線21も削られるために、コールドスプレー工程後には金属線21は偏平な形状となる(図2参照)。 Here, the metal fine particle group 40 includes a plurality of metal fine particles having different hardness. Examples of the metal fine particles having different hardness include a combination of tin (Sn) particles and nickel (Ni) particles. It should be noted that other metal fine particles may be included. Hard metal fine particles are suitable for scraping the insulating coating 22, and soft metal fine particles are suitable because they are easily deposited. By mixing the hard metal particles and the soft metal particles in an appropriate ratio, it is possible to quickly scrape off the insulating coating 22 while ensuring the thickness of the embedded portion 30. Further, since the metal wire 21 is also shaved after the insulating film 22 is shaved, the metal wire 21 has a flat shape after the cold spray process (see FIG. 2 ).
 [効果など]
 以上のように、本実施の形態に係る端子1は、柱状金属端子10と、絶縁皮膜22を有する金属線21と、柱状金属端子10に対して金属線21を電気的に接合するため、柱状金属端子10上で金属線21を埋設した金属微粒子群40からなる埋設部30と、金属線21における柱状金属端子10側の表面のみを覆う絶縁層29と、を備えている。
[Effects]
As described above, in the terminal 1 according to the present embodiment, since the columnar metal terminal 10, the metal wire 21 having the insulating film 22, and the metal wire 21 are electrically joined to the columnar metal terminal 10, An embedded portion 30 formed of a group of metal fine particles 40 in which the metal wire 21 is embedded on the metal terminal 10 and an insulating layer 29 that covers only the surface of the metal wire 21 on the side of the columnar metal terminal 10 are provided.
 また、本実施の形態に係る端子1の接合方法は、柱状金属端子10と金属線21とが電気的に接続された端子1の接合方法であって、全周に絶縁被膜22を有する金属線21を柱状金属端子10上に配置した後に、金属線21に対して金属微粒子群40を吹き付けて金属線21における柱状金属端子10とは反対側の絶縁被膜22を除去するとともに、金属線21における柱状金属端子10側の絶縁皮膜22を絶縁層29として残存させながら、金属微粒子群40からなる埋設部30で金属線21を埋設することで、金属線21と柱状金属端子10とを電気的に接合する。 Further, the joining method of the terminal 1 according to the present embodiment is a joining method of the terminal 1 in which the columnar metal terminal 10 and the metal wire 21 are electrically connected to each other, and the metal wire having the insulating coating film 22 on the entire circumference. After arranging 21 on the columnar metal terminal 10, the metal fine particle group 40 is sprayed on the metal wire 21 to remove the insulating coating film 22 on the side of the metal wire 21 opposite to the columnar metal terminal 10, and at the same time in the metal wire 21. By embedding the metal wire 21 in the embedding portion 30 composed of the metal fine particle group 40 while leaving the insulating film 22 on the side of the columnar metal terminal 10 as the insulating layer 29, the metal wire 21 and the columnar metal terminal 10 are electrically connected. To join.
 これによれば、柱状金属端子10と金属線21とが、金属微粒子群40からなる埋設部30を介して電気的に接合されているので、柱状金属端子10と金属線21とを溶融しなくても両者の電気的接合を確保することができる。また、埋設部30内に金属線21が埋設されていることで、柱状金属端子10に対して金属線21を固定することができる。したがって、柱状金属端子10と金属線21との接合強度を確保することができる。 According to this, since the columnar metal terminal 10 and the metal wire 21 are electrically joined to each other via the embedded portion 30 composed of the metal fine particle group 40, the columnar metal terminal 10 and the metal wire 21 are not melted. However, it is possible to secure electrical connection between the two. Further, since the metal wire 21 is buried in the buried portion 30, the metal wire 21 can be fixed to the columnar metal terminal 10. Therefore, the bonding strength between the columnar metal terminal 10 and the metal wire 21 can be secured.
 さらに、金属線21における絶縁被膜22が除去された部分は、埋設部30によって覆われているために、大気(特に湿気)に接しておらず、当該部分の電蝕が抑制されている。 Further, since the portion of the metal wire 21 from which the insulating coating 22 is removed is covered with the buried portion 30, it is not in contact with the atmosphere (particularly humidity), and the electrolytic corrosion of the portion is suppressed.
 一方、絶縁層29は、金属線21における柱状金属端子10側の表面を覆っているために、当該金属線21の表面は柱状金属端子10に対して接しておらず、当該表面の電蝕が抑制されている。このように、金属線21の電蝕が抑制されているので、柱状金属端子10と金属線21との接合強度を長期にわたって維持することが可能である。 On the other hand, since the insulating layer 29 covers the surface of the metal wire 21 on the columnar metal terminal 10 side, the surface of the metal wire 21 is not in contact with the columnar metal terminal 10, and the surface is not corroded. It is suppressed. Since the electrolytic corrosion of the metal wire 21 is suppressed in this manner, the bonding strength between the columnar metal terminal 10 and the metal wire 21 can be maintained for a long period of time.
 また、金属微粒子群40は、硬さの異なる複数の金属微粒子を有する。 Further, the metal fine particle group 40 has a plurality of metal fine particles having different hardness.
 これによれば、硬い金属微粒子は、絶縁被膜22を削るのに適しており、柔らかい金属微粒子は堆積しやすい点で適している。このような硬さの異なる複数の金属微粒子が金属微粒子群40に含まれているので、埋設部30の厚みを確保しつつ、絶縁被膜22を迅速に削ることが可能となる。 According to this, hard metal fine particles are suitable for shaving the insulating film 22, and soft metal fine particles are suitable because they are easily deposited. Since the plurality of metal fine particles having different hardnesses are included in the metal fine particle group 40, the insulating coating film 22 can be rapidly scraped while ensuring the thickness of the embedded portion 30.
 なお、接合後における埋設部30に対して、周知の断面元素分析などの分析法を用いることで、埋設部30を構成する金属微粒子群40の各元素を特定することが可能である。 Note that it is possible to specify each element of the metal fine particle group 40 that constitutes the buried portion 30 by using a well-known analysis method such as cross-sectional element analysis for the buried portion 30 after joining.
 また、金属線21は、柱状金属端子10に結ばれた少なくとも一つの交差部23を有し、柱状金属端子に対して巻かれており、交差部23は、埋設部30に埋設されている。 Further, the metal wire 21 has at least one intersection 23 connected to the columnar metal terminal 10 and is wound around the columnar metal terminal, and the intersection 23 is embedded in the embedding portion 30.
 これによれば、交差部23が埋設部30に埋設されているので、交差部23を柱状金属端子10に対して強固に接合することが可能である。 According to this, since the intersecting portion 23 is embedded in the embedding portion 30, it is possible to firmly bond the intersecting portion 23 to the columnar metal terminal 10.
 また、金属線21は、アルミニウムを主成分とした金属で形成されている。 Moreover, the metal wire 21 is formed of a metal whose main component is aluminum.
 これによれば、イオン化傾向の高いアルミニウムを主成分とした金属で金属線21が形成されている場合であっても、埋設部30及び絶縁層29によって電蝕が抑制されているので、柱状金属端子10と金属線21との接合強度を長期にわたって維持することが可能である。 According to this, even when the metal wire 21 is formed of a metal having a high ionization tendency as a main component, electrolytic corrosion is suppressed by the embedded portion 30 and the insulating layer 29, and therefore the columnar metal It is possible to maintain the bonding strength between the terminal 10 and the metal wire 21 for a long period of time.
 [変形例1]
 上記実施の形態では、一本の金属ワイヤ20が柱状金属端子10に巻き付けられて接合されている場合を例示した。しかしながら、柱状金属端子に対して複数の金属ワイヤが巻き付けられていてもよい。この変形例1では、一例として二本の金属ワイヤ20a1、20a2が柱状金属端子10aに巻き付けられている場合を例示する。なお、以降の説明において、上記実施の形態と同一の部分については、同一の符号を付してその説明を省略する場合がある。
[Modification 1]
In the above embodiment, the case where one metal wire 20 is wound around and joined to the columnar metal terminal 10 is illustrated. However, a plurality of metal wires may be wound around the columnar metal terminal. In this modification 1, as an example, a case where two metal wires 20a1 and 20a2 are wound around the columnar metal terminal 10a is illustrated. In the following description, the same parts as those in the above-described embodiment may be designated by the same reference numerals and the description thereof may be omitted.
 図6は、変形例1に係る端子1Aの概略構成を示す正面図である。具体的には図6は金属微粒子群40が吹き付けられる前の端子1Aの状態を示している。図6に示すように、端子1Aの柱状金属端子10aには、二本の金属ワイヤ20a1、20a2が巻き付けられている。具体的には、二本の金属ワイヤ20a1、20a2は、それぞれ交差部23a1、23a2を有しており、これらの交差部23a1、23a2は互いに重ならない位置に配置されている。また、二本の金属ワイヤ20a1、20a2は、互いに重ならないように、二重の螺旋状に柱状金属端子10aに巻き付けられて、柱状金属端子10aに対して接合されている。 FIG. 6 is a front view showing a schematic configuration of the terminal 1A according to the first modification. Specifically, FIG. 6 shows a state of the terminal 1A before the metal fine particle group 40 is sprayed. As shown in FIG. 6, two metal wires 20a1 and 20a2 are wound around the columnar metal terminal 10a of the terminal 1A. Specifically, the two metal wires 20a1 and 20a2 have intersecting portions 23a1 and 23a2, respectively, and these intersecting portions 23a1 and 23a2 are arranged at positions that do not overlap each other. Further, the two metal wires 20a1 and 20a2 are wound around the columnar metal terminal 10a in a double spiral shape so as not to overlap each other, and are joined to the columnar metal terminal 10a.
 このように、金属ワイヤ20a1、20a2は、複数本設けられており、それぞれが柱状金属端子10aに対して巻き付けられている。これにより、複数の金属ワイヤ20a1、20a2を一つの柱状金属端子10aに巻き付けることで、柱状金属端子10aを共通化することができる。 In this way, a plurality of metal wires 20a1 and 20a2 are provided, and each of them is wound around the columnar metal terminal 10a. Accordingly, by winding the plurality of metal wires 20a1 and 20a2 around one columnar metal terminal 10a, the columnar metal terminal 10a can be shared.
 ここで、複数の金属ワイヤ20a1、20a2の線径は、同じであっても異なっていてもよい。具体的には、複数の金属ワイヤ20a1、20a2のそれぞれに備わる金属線の線径は、同じであっても異なっていてもよい。 Here, the wire diameters of the plurality of metal wires 20a1 and 20a2 may be the same or different. Specifically, the wire diameters of the metal wires provided in each of the plurality of metal wires 20a1 and 20a2 may be the same or different.
 図7は、変形例1に係る端子1Aであって、線径の異なる複数の金属ワイヤ20a1、20a2が接合された状態を示す断面図である。図7では、金属微粒子群40が吹き付けられて埋設部30aが形成された端子1Aを示している。 FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view showing a terminal 1A according to Modification 1, in which a plurality of metal wires 20a1 and 20a2 having different wire diameters are joined. FIG. 7 shows the terminal 1A on which the embedded portion 30a is formed by spraying the metal fine particle group 40.
 図7に示すように、線径の異なる複数の金属ワイヤ20a1、20a2では、金属線21a1、21a2が埋設部30aを介して柱状金属端子10aと電気的に接合されている。ここでは、金属線21a1の線径が、金属線21a2よりも大きい場合を例示している。また、金属線21a1、21a2は、金属微粒子群40が吹き付けられる前の状態では円形断面状であるが、金属微粒子群40が吹き付けられることで削られ、偏平な断面形状となっている。また、金属線21a1、21a2の柱状金属端子10側の表面は、絶縁層29a1、29a2によって覆われ、その他の部分は埋設部30aに直接的に接している。 As shown in FIG. 7, in the plurality of metal wires 20a1 and 20a2 having different wire diameters, the metal wires 21a1 and 21a2 are electrically joined to the columnar metal terminal 10a via the embedded portion 30a. Here, the case where the wire diameter of the metal wire 21a1 is larger than that of the metal wire 21a2 is illustrated. Further, the metal wires 21a1 and 21a2 have a circular cross-sectional shape in the state before the metal fine particle group 40 is sprayed, but are scraped by being sprayed with the metal fine particle group 40 and have a flat cross-sectional shape. Further, the surfaces of the metal wires 21a1 and 21a2 on the columnar metal terminal 10 side are covered with the insulating layers 29a1 and 29a2, and the other portions are in direct contact with the embedded portion 30a.
 埋設部30aは、その外表面が、金属線21a1、21a2における柱状金属端子10aに巻き付けられた部位に倣った凹凸形状を有している。つまり、金属線21a1、21a2に対応する部位においては埋設部30aは凸状となっており、金属線21a1、21a2のピッチ間隔に対応する部位においては埋設部30aは凹状となっている。また、埋設部30aの凸状部において、線径の大きい金属線21a1に対応する部分の頂点は、線径の小さい金属線21a2に対応する部分の頂点よりも、柱状金属端子10aから離れた位置となっている。 The outer surface of the embedded portion 30a has an uneven shape that follows the portions of the metal wires 21a1 and 21a2 that are wound around the columnar metal terminal 10a. That is, the embedded portion 30a is convex in the portions corresponding to the metal wires 21a1 and 21a2, and the embedded portion 30a is concave in the portions corresponding to the pitch intervals of the metal wires 21a1 and 21a2. Further, in the convex portion of the embedded portion 30a, the apex of the portion corresponding to the metal wire 21a1 having a large wire diameter is located farther from the columnar metal terminal 10a than the apex of the portion corresponding to the metal wire 21a2 having a small wire diameter. Has become.
 このように、複数の金属線21a1、21a2の線径が異なっていても、埋設部30aによって確実に柱状金属端子10aに接合し、電気的な導通を確保することが可能である。 As described above, even if the wire diameters of the plurality of metal wires 21a1 and 21a2 are different from each other, it is possible to securely bond the metal wires 21a1 and 21a2 to the columnar metal terminal 10a by the embedded portion 30a and ensure electrical continuity.
 [変形例2]
 上記実施の形態では、金属線21が所定のピッチ間隔をあけて柱状金属端子10に対して巻き付けられている場合を例示した。この変形例2では、金属ワイヤ20bがピッチ間隔をあけずに柱状金属端子10に対して巻き付けられている場合について説明する。
[Modification 2]
In the above-mentioned embodiment, the case where the metal wire 21 is wound around the columnar metal terminal 10 with a predetermined pitch interval is illustrated. In the second modification, a case where the metal wire 20b is wound around the columnar metal terminal 10 without a pitch interval will be described.
 図8は、変形例2に係る端子1Bを示す断面図である。図8に示すように、端子1Bに備わる金属ワイヤ20bは、柱状金属端子10bに対してピッチ間隔をあけないように巻き付けられている。このような巻き付け状態であるために、金属微粒子群40が吹き付けられたとしても、金属線21bにおける巻き付け部においては、金属微粒子群40が柱状金属端子10bに到達しない空間が生じる。このため、当該空間は、埋設部30bの形成後に空隙59となる。具体的には、空隙59は、絶縁層29bと、柱状金属端子10bとの間に設けられている。 FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view showing a terminal 1B according to Modification 2. As shown in FIG. 8, the metal wire 20b provided in the terminal 1B is wound around the columnar metal terminal 10b so as not to have a pitch interval. Due to this winding state, even if the metal fine particle group 40 is blown, a space where the metal fine particle group 40 does not reach the columnar metal terminal 10b is generated in the winding portion of the metal wire 21b. Therefore, the space becomes the void 59 after the embedded portion 30b is formed. Specifically, the void 59 is provided between the insulating layer 29b and the columnar metal terminal 10b.
 このように、埋設部30bには、絶縁層29bと柱状金属端子10bとの間に空隙59が設けられているので、端子1Bにおけるクッション性を高めることができる。これにより、衝撃を吸収することができ、金属線21bの断線を抑制することが可能である。 In this way, since the voids 59 are provided in the buried portion 30b between the insulating layer 29b and the columnar metal terminals 10b, the cushioning property of the terminal 1B can be enhanced. As a result, it is possible to absorb the shock and suppress the disconnection of the metal wire 21b.
 [変形例3]
 上記実施の形態では、金属端子として柱状金属端子10を例示して説明した。しかしながら、金属端子の形状は柱状でなくてもよい。変形例3では、金属端子として板状金属端子10cを有する端子1Cについて説明する。
[Modification 3]
In the above-described embodiment, the columnar metal terminal 10 is exemplified as the metal terminal and described. However, the shape of the metal terminal may not be columnar. In Modification 3, a terminal 1C having a plate-shaped metal terminal 10c as a metal terminal will be described.
 図9は、変形例3に係る端子1Cを示す断面図である。図9に示すように、端子1Cの板状金属端子10cは、板状の金属端子である。板状金属端子10cは、例えば、銅(Cu)を主成分とする金属からなる部材である。なお、板状金属端子10cは、その他の金属から形成されていてもよいし、その表面にメッキ層を有していてもよい。金属ワイヤ20cは、板状金属端子10cの一方の主面に対して埋設部30cを介して電気的に接合されている。 FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view showing a terminal 1C according to Modification 3. As shown in FIG. 9, the plate-shaped metal terminal 10c of the terminal 1C is a plate-shaped metal terminal. The plate-shaped metal terminal 10c is, for example, a member made of a metal whose main component is copper (Cu). The plate-shaped metal terminal 10c may be made of other metal, or may have a plating layer on its surface. The metal wire 20c is electrically joined to one main surface of the plate-shaped metal terminal 10c via the embedded portion 30c.
 具体的には、全長にわたって絶縁被膜22cが被覆された金属線21cを有する金属ワイヤ20cの一端部を、板状金属端子10cの一方の主面上に配置する。その後、その一端部に向けて、コールドスプレー法により金属微粒子群40を吹き付ける。この吹付けによって、金属微粒子群40が堆積することで、板状金属端子10c上で金属線21cの一端部を覆うように埋設部30cが形成される。また、吹付け時には、金属ワイヤ20cの絶縁被膜22cの一部が削られ除去される。一方、金属ワイヤ20cの一端部では、絶縁被膜22cにおける板状金属端子10c側の部分が絶縁層29cとして残存する。絶縁層29cが残存したとしても、金属線21cは、埋設部30cを介して板状金属端子10cと電気的に接続されることとなる。なお、金属端子のその他の形状としては、例えばブロック状などが挙げられる。 Specifically, one end of the metal wire 20c having the metal wire 21c covered with the insulating coating 22c over the entire length is arranged on one main surface of the plate-shaped metal terminal 10c. After that, the metal fine particle group 40 is sprayed toward the one end by the cold spray method. By this spraying, the metal fine particle group 40 is deposited, so that the embedded portion 30c is formed on the plate-shaped metal terminal 10c so as to cover one end of the metal wire 21c. Moreover, at the time of spraying, a part of the insulating coating 22c of the metal wire 20c is shaved and removed. On the other hand, at one end of the metal wire 20c, the portion of the insulating coating 22c on the plate-shaped metal terminal 10c side remains as the insulating layer 29c. Even if the insulating layer 29c remains, the metal wire 21c is electrically connected to the plate-shaped metal terminal 10c via the embedded portion 30c. Other shapes of the metal terminal include, for example, a block shape.
