The present invention relates to a coil device formed by winding a conductor wire around a ring-shaped core.
Conventionally, there is a known coil device formed by winding conductor wires around a ring-shaped core (toroidal core) (Patent Document 1).
For example, a coil device shown in
The core 1 is formed by covering a surface of a ring-shaped magnetic core piece with an insulating resin case.
As shown in the diagram, first, a plurality of unit winding portions forming a unit coil portion of the first layer on the inner peripheral side of the core 1 are wound in the order of winding of 0→0.5→1→1.5→2→ . . . →8→8.5 and then a plurality of unit winding portions forming a unit coil portion of the second layer are wound in the order of winding of 9→9.5→10→10.5→11→ . . . →14→14.5.
Conventionally, such winding of the conductor wires 60 in the coil device is carried out manually.
However, in the coil device shown in
Therefore, there are proposed a coil device (hereafter referred to as a “bank wound coil device”) formed by winding a coil around a core having a magnetic gap portion and a method of manufacturing the same. In the coil device, a coil is formed by a plurality of unit coil portions formed by spirally winding one conductor wire, these unit coil portions are arranged repeatedly in a direction of a winding axis, each of the unit coil portions is formed by a plurality of unit winding portions having different inner periphery lengths from each other, and at least parts of the unit winding portions having the shorter inner periphery lengths are into the unit winding portions having longer inner periphery lengths (Patent Document 2).
According to the bank wound coil device, the unit winding portions are stacked up from a lower layer to an upper layer in a winding step of each of the unit coil portions. As a result, a potential difference between the two unit winding portions in contact with each other reduces and it is possible to effectively suppress an insulation breakdown between the unit winding portions.
However, the method of manufacturing the bank wound coil device is intended for the core having the magnetic gap portion and it is impossible to efficiently manufacture a bank wound coil device having a core without a magnetic gap portion by using an automated machine.
Moreover, it is extremely difficult to form the bank wound coil device by hand winding.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a coil device having a core without a magnetic gap portion, in which an insulation breakdown between unit winding portions can be suppressed effectively and which can be easily formed by hand winding.
A coil device according to the present invention includes a ring-shaped core and at least one coil formed by continuously winding one conductor wire around the core. The coil is formed by a plurality of unit coil portions successively formed along a direction of a magnetic path of the core, the adjacent unit coil portions are electrically connected to each other at only one position, each of the unit coil portions is formed by a plurality of unit winding portions stacked at least on an inner peripheral side of the core by continuously winding the conductor wire, and a layered structure of each of the unit coil portions at least on the inner peripheral side of the core is formed by stacking the one unit winding portion in an upper layer on the two unit winding portions in a lower layer in arbitrary three unit winding portions positioned at three vertices of a triangle.
In other words, the layered structure of each of the unit coil portions at least on the inner peripheral side of the core is formed by repeatedly forming a layer unit pattern including the three unit winding portions formed by stacking the one unit winding portion in the upper layer on the two unit winding portions in the lower layer.
Here, when the layer unit pattern is formed repeatedly, each of the three unit winding portions forming each of the layer unit patterns is positioned so as not to overlap the unit winding portions of another layer unit pattern or one of the three unit winding portions forming each of the layer unit patterns is positioned so as to overlap one of the unit winding portions of another layer unit pattern.
In a winding process of the coil device according to the present invention, the plurality of unit coil portions are successively formed along the direction of the magnetic path of the core by continuously winding the one conductor wire around the core.
In a winding process of each of the unit coil portions, unit winding processing in which the three unit winding portions positioned at the three vertices of the triangle are wound is repeated in a step of layering the respective unit winding portions at least on the inner peripheral side of the core.
In this way, the one unit winding portion is stacked on the two unit winding portions in the lower layer. By repeatedly forming the layer unit pattern formed by the three unit winding portions, the one unit coil portion is formed.
In this manner, the plurality of unit coil portions are successively formed along the direction of the magnetic path of the core and therefore a potential difference between the adjacent unit coil portions becomes small. Moreover, in the winding process of each of the unit coil portions, unit winding processing of forming the three unit winding portions is repeated and therefore a potential difference between the unit winding portions in the one unit coil portion becomes small as well.
According to the present invention, in the coil device formed by winding the coil around the core having the magnetic gap portion, the insulation breakdown between the unit winding portions in contact with each other can be suppressed effectively and the coil device can be easily formed by hand winding.
a) to 23(c) are diagrams showing first, second, and third steps of a winding process in the coil device in the fifth embodiment.

In the drawings, numbers in circles illustrating sections of a conductor wire show an order of winding of the conductor wire and an increment when the conductor wire is wound to make a circuit (360°) is illustrated as “1” and an increment when the conductor wire is wound to make half a circuit (180°) is illustrated as “0.5”.

In the coil device, each of the coils 5 is formed by continuously winding the one conductor wire 50 and has a three-layer structure on an inner peripheral side of the core 1 and a two-layer structure in which portions of the conductor wires do not overlap each other on an outer peripheral side of the core 1 as shown in
The coil 5 is formed by successively winding a plurality of unit coil portions 57 in a counterclockwise direction along a magnetic path of the core 1 and the adjacent unit coil portions 57 and 57 are connected to each other by the one conductor wire at only one position.
Each of the unit coil portions 57 is formed by a first unit winding portion 51, a second unit winding portion 52, a third unit winding portion 53, a fourth unit winding portion 54, a fifth unit winding portion 55, and a sixth unit winding portion 56.

In each of the coil devices in the above-described first to fourth embodiments, the plurality of unit coil portions are successively formed along the direction of the magnetic path of the core and therefore a potential difference between the adjacent unit coil portions becomes small. Moreover, the unit winding portions are stacked from the lower layer to the upper layer in the winding process of each of the unit coil portions similarly to the method of manufacturing the bank wound coil device. Therefore, a difference between the numbers of winding of the two unit winding portions in the lower layer and the winding number of the one unit winding portion in the upper layer is as small as “2” in the two-layer structures shown in

Each of the coil devices in the first to fourth embodiments employs the method in which the respective unit coil portions are formed by repeating the winding operation of stacking the one unit winding portion on the already-wound two unit winding portions. Therefore, it is easy to manually carry out the winding without using the method of manufacturing the bank wound coil device.
