This application claims the benefit under 35 U.S.C. § 119(a) of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2020-0151323 filed on Nov. 12, 2020 in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference for all purposes.
The present disclosure relates to a bobbin, and a core-bobbin assembly for a stator including the same.
In general, when a coil is wound on a core in a stator of a winding motor, a bobbin coupled to the core is used to prevent damage to the coil due to a burr or a sharp portion of an edge portion and electrically insulate the core and the coil.
However, conventionally, because the size and shape of the core may be variously determined according to the specification of the motor, the bobbin coupled to the core also has to have various sizes and shapes. In this case, because the bobbin has to have various sizes and shapes according to the size and shape of the core, a workability of the motor or the stator deteriorates.
Furthermore, conventionally, because there is no passage, through which a cooling fluid may pass between the core-bobbin assembly and the coil, a cooling performance of the stator including the coil deteriorates.
This Summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts in a simplified form that are further described below in the Detailed Description. This Summary is not intended to identify key features or essential features of the claimed subject matter, nor is it intended to be used as an aid in determining the scope of the claimed subject matter.
In one general aspect, a bobbin includes: a first bobbin member including a first part extending in a direction that crosses a first direction, and a second part extending in a direction that crosses the direction in which the first part extends; a second bobbin member spaced apart from the first bobbin member along the first direction; a third bobbin member spaced apart from the first bobbin member in a second direction that crosses the first direction; and a fourth bobbin member spaced apart from the second bobbin member along the second direction, and spaced apart from the third bobbin member along the first direction.

Other features and aspects will be apparent from the following detailed description, the drawings, and the claims.
The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present disclosure will be more apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:
Hereinafter, some embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the exemplary drawings. In providing reference numerals to the constituent elements of the drawings, the same elements may have the same reference numerals even if they are displayed on different drawings. Further, in the following description of the present disclosure, a detailed description of known functions and configurations incorporated herein will be omitted when it may make the subject matter of the present disclosure rather unclear.
The bobbin according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure, as illustrated in
The first bobbin member 10 may include a first part 11 and a second part 12. The first part 11 may extend while directions that cross a first direction D1 are taken as a widthwise direction and a lengthwise direction thereof. The second part 12 may be connected to the first part 11 and extend while directions that cross a direction, in which the first part 11 extends, are taken as a widthwise direction and a lengthwise direction thereof. For example, the second part 12 and the first part 11 may be perpendicular to each other.
The second bobbin member 20 may be spaced apart from the first bobbin member 10 along the first direction D1. The third bobbin member 30 may be spaced apart from the first bobbin member 10 along a second direction D2. The second direction D2 may be a direction that crosses the first direction D1. For example, the second direction D2 may be perpendicular to the first direction D1. The fourth bobbin member 40 may be spaced apart from the second bobbin member 20 along the second direction D2, and may be spaced apart from the third bobbin member 30 along the first direction D1.
A spacing distance between the first bobbin member 10 and the second bobbin member 20 may correspond to a spacing distance between the third bobbin member 30 and the fourth bobbin member 40. Furthermore, a spacing distance between the first bobbin member 10 and the third bobbin member 30 may correspond to a spacing distance between the second bobbin member 20 and the fourth bobbin member 40. For example, the spacing distance between the first bobbin member 10 and the second bobbin member 20 may be the same as the spacing distance between the third bobbin member 30 and the fourth bobbin member 40, and the spacing distance between the first bobbin member 10 and the third bobbin member 30 may be the same as the spacing distance between the second bobbin member 20 and the fourth bobbin member 40.
Meanwhile, according to the present disclosure, the first to fourth bobbin members 10, 20, 30, and 40 may have shapes and sizes that may be compatible. Then, the aspect that the shapes and the sizes are compatible may mean that the first to fourth bobbin members 10, 20, 30, and 40 have an identical property such that any one of the first to fourth bobbin members 10, 20, 30, and 40 may be replaced by another one. For example, the second bobbin member 20 may be mirror-symmetrical to the first bobbin member 10. Furthermore, the third bobbin member 30 may be mirror-symmetrical to the first bobbin member 10. Furthermore, the fourth bobbin member 40 may be mirror-symmetrical to the second bobbin member 20 and the third bobbin member 30.
According to the present disclosure, because the bobbin includes the first to fourth bobbin members 10, 20, 30, and 40 that may be compatible, the bobbin may be coupled to the core regardless of the size of the core. Accordingly, because the bobbin may be used regardless of the specification of the core, workability may be improved.
Hereinafter, a detailed shape of the first bobbin member 10 will be described.
Meanwhile, according to the present disclosure, the first to fourth bobbin members 10, 20, 30, and 40 may have the identical property to be compatible. Accordingly, a following description of the structure and the shape of the first bobbin member 10 may be applied to the second to fourth bobbin members 20, 30, and 40 in the same way.
As illustrated in
Meanwhile, the fourth part 14 may be a part that protrudes from a distal end of the first part 11 in a direction that is opposite to the third direction D3, in a direction that is opposite to the first direction D1. For example, a shape, in which the first part 11, the third part 13, and the fourth part 14 of the first bobbin member 10 are connected to each other, may be a staple shape as a whole.
The first bobbin member 10 may include a fifth part 15 and a sixth part 16. The fifth part 15 and the sixth part 16 may be configurations that extend from opposite distal ends of the second part 12 in one direction. In more detail, the fifth part 15 may be a part that protrudes from a distal end of the second part 12 in the third direction D3, in a direction that is opposite to the second direction D2. Meanwhile, the sixth part 16 may be a part that protrudes from a distal end of the second part 12 in the direction that is opposite to the third direction D3, in a direction that is opposite to the second direction D2. For example, a shape, in which the second part 12, the fifth part 15, and the sixth part 16 of the first bobbin member 10 are connected to each other, may be a staple shape as a whole.
Meanwhile, according to the present disclosure, a length, by which the second part 12 may extend along the third direction D3, is larger than a length, by which the first part 11 extends along the third direction D3, and the first part 11 may be disposed within the length, by which the second part 12 extends along the third direction D3. For example, the second part 12 and the first part 11 may be formed to have a specific step with respect to the third direction D3 and a direction that is opposite thereto. Accordingly, the third part 13 and the fifth part 15 may be formed to have a step with respect to the third direction D3. Furthermore, the fourth part 14 and the sixth part 16 may be formed to have a step with respect to a direction that is opposite to the third direction D3. Due to the stepped shape of the first bobbin member 10, as will be described below, the steps function as a kind of stoppers when the first part 11 of the first bobbin member 10 is coupled to the core 1 (see
The bobbin according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure may include a boss 17. The boss 17 is provided on a surface of a configuration formed by coupling the first part 11, the third part 13, and the fourth part 14, and may have a protruding shape. In more detail, the boss 17 may be provided in an area, in which the first part 11 and the third part 13 meet each other, or an area, in which the first part 11 and the fourth part 14 meet each other. Alternatively, the boss 17 may be provided on a surface of the first part 11, the third part 13, or the fourth part 14.
Meanwhile, as illustrated in
Hereinafter, the second embodiment of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to
As illustrated in
As illustrated in
Meanwhile, the yoke 3 may include a plurality of surfaces. In more detail, the yoke 3 may include an upper surface, a lower surface, and a plurality of side surfaces with reference to
Then, the first bobbin member 10 may be provided to contact a portion of the first surface 6 and a portion of the second surface 7 of the yoke 3. The first surface 6 may be, among the side surfaces of the yoke 3, a surface that is located in the reference direction “D”. Then, when the core 1 is viewed from a top, the side surfaces disposed in a clockwise sequence with respect to the first surface 6 may be sequentially named second to fourth surfaces 7, 8, and 9.
The second bobbin member 20 may be provided to contact a portion of the second surface 7 and a portion of the third surface 8 of the yoke 3, and may be spaced apart from the first bobbin member 10. The third bobbin member 30 may be provided to contact a portion of the first surface 6 and a portion of the fourth surface 9 of the yoke 3, and may be spaced apart from the first bobbin member 10. The fourth bobbin member 40 may be provided to contact a portion of the third surface 8 and a portion of the fourth surface 9 of the yoke 3, and may be spaced apart from the second bobbin member 20. The first to fourth bobbin members 10, 20, 30, and 40, as described above, may have shapes and sizes that may be compatible.
The coil “C” may be wound on outer surfaces of the first to fourth bobbin members 10, 20, 30, and 40. The aspect that the coil “C” is wound on the outer surfaces may mean that the coil “C” is wound on the outer surfaces of the adjacent bobbin members along a clockwise direction or counterclockwise direction, while any one of the first to fourth bobbin members 10, 20, 30, and 40 is taken as a starting point.
As described above, according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure, each of the first to fourth bobbin members 10, 20, 30, and 40 may include a boss 17 provided at a portion of a surface that contact the core 1 and having a shape that protrudes outwards. The core 1 may include core grooves 2 formed to correspond to the bosses 17 of the first to fourth bobbin members 10, 20, 30, and 40 and provided such that the bosses 17 may be inserted thereinto. For example, the core grooves 2 may be formed at a connection portion of the first flange 4 and the yoke 3 or a connection portion of the second flange 5 and the yoke 3.
As illustrated in
According to the core-bobbin assembly for a stator including the bobbin of the first embodiment of the present disclosure, because the first and second bobbin members 10 and 20 may protrude outwards from the second surface 7 such that the wound coil “C” is spaced apart from the second surface 7 by the specific distance and the third and fourth bobbin members 30 and 40 may protrude outwards from the fourth surface 9 such that the wound coil is spaced apart from the fourth surface 9 by the specific distance, cooling fluid may be introduced between the coil “C” and the second surface 7 or between the coil “C” and the fourth surface 9, and thus cooling efficiency may be improved. In more detail, when the core-bobbin assembly for a stator is viewed from a bottom, as illustrated in
Each of the first to fourth bobbin members 10′, 20′, 30′, and 40′ may include the groove 17′ provided on a surface thereof and having a recessed shape. The core 1′ may include core bosses 2′ formed to correspond to the grooves 17′ of the first to fourth bobbin members 10′, 20′, 30′, and 40′ and provided such that the core bosses 2′ may be inserted into the grooves 17′. For example, as illustrated in
According to the present disclosure, because the bobbin may be coupled to the core regardless of the size of the core through the compatible bobbin members, workability may be increased in a process of manufacturing the motor or the stator.
Furthermore, according to the present disclosure, because the spacing space is formed between the coil and the core-bobbin assembly for a stator, the cooling fluid may pass through the spacing space so that the stator including the coil may be smoothly cooled.
