Abstract
A neck portion (3) formed in the subterminal portion of the narrower diameter side of the funnel shaped separator, has holding portions (32a, 32b) and upper holding portion (33a, 33b) to hold magnetic rings (10, 11, 20, 21). The protrusions (80a, 80b) formed in the neck portion (3) have slope side (80a1, 80b1). Upon the insertion of the magnetic rings (10, 11, 20, 21) to the neck portion (3) from the narrower diameter side thereof, the magnetic rings (10, 11, 20, 21) contact the slope sides (80a1, 80b1) before they contact the slope sides (33a2, 33b2) of the protrusions (33a0, 33b0) of the upper holding portion (33a, 33b).
Description




BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION




1. Field of the Invention




The present invention relates to a deflection yoke used with an in-line type cathode ray tube (CRT), and particularly relates to a deflection yoke for adjusting a characteristic of a magnetic field, such as convergence or purity, by rotating a multipolar magnetic ring mounted on a cylindrical neck portion of such deflection yoke.




2. Description of the Related Art




Generally, a deflection yoke used with an in-line type CRT, has a multipolar, for example, dipole or quadrupole magnetic ring. The multipolar magnetic ring is used for adjustment of a magnetic field characteristic such as convergence or purity of a CRT by tuning a position of such the multipolar magnetic ring.

1




a


and


1




b.






The cylindrical neck portion


103


is inwardly flexible as it has slits


104




a


through


104




f


. A clamp band


5


for fixing the deflection yoke to a neck of the CRT is provided on the upper side of the neck portion


103


. The screw


6


is screwed to the clamp band


5


, and fastens the deflection yoke to the neck of the CRT by tightening the clamp band


5


about the neck portion


103


. A prominence


14


is formed on the upper portion of tongues


103




c


and


103




f


to fit with a pair of hole


5




a


and


5




b


formed in the clamp band


5


. The prominence


14


has a slope in downward direction for leading the holes


5




a


and


5




b


to make the clamp band


5


easily fit with the neck portion


103


. The clamp band


5


with a screw


6


is loaded on the upper portion of the neck portion


103


to stabilize the deflection yoke on to the CRT.




A magnetic ring


10


and a magnetic ring


11


having a multipolar magnet respectively are provided between the clamp band


5


and the flange

f


of the first and second separators


1




a


and

b


.

FIG. 9

shows the clamp band


5


and the magnetic rings


10


and


11


being removed from the neck portion


103


. Generally, the magnetic rings


10


and


11


comprise material dispersed with magnetic powder such as barium ferrite or the Alnico alloy substance evenly on a nylon plastic. As the magnetic ring has variety in size at manufacturing, the inner diameter of the magnetic rings


10


and


11


is 0.4 mm wider at maximum than the outer diameter of the neck portion


103


, in order to avoid the magnetic ring being tightfitting with the neck portion


103


.




More precisely, protrusions


12




a


and


12




b


are provided at the bottom of the neck portion


103


, and are flexible in the longitudinal direction of the neck of the CRT (i.e. the direction of a Z axis). A hook


13


having a claw


13




a


of triangular shape at their distal ends are formed in the tongues


103




c


and


103




f


of the neck portion


103


. The magnetic rings


10


and


11


are inserted from the rear side of the deflection yoke, about the neck portion


103


between the protrusions


12




a


and


12




b


, and the claw


13




a.







FIG. 10

is a cross-sectional view of the neck portion


103


along with the direction of the Z axis. An edge side


13




a




1


of the claw


13




a


is almost orthogonal with the Z axis and a sloped side


13




a




2


of the claw


13




a


stick out with length d


1


which is about 1.3 mm long enough to hold the magnetic ring being attached between the protrusions


12




a


and


12




b


, and the claw


13




a


. An outer side


13




a




3


of the claw


13




a


is provided to maintain the strength of metal mold for molding the separators


1




a


and


1




b


. The outer side


13




a




3


is almost parallel to the Z axis and has length of approximately 0.3 mm.




Recently, there has been a need for small display monitor using CRT in the market. In order to provide such a small display, the length of CRT and the deflection yoke is required to be shorter. For this reason, the distance between the bottom side of the clamp band


5


and the bottom side of magnetic rings attached to the neck portion


103


is required to be shorter, and the length of the claw


13




a


in the direction of Z axis is required to be 1.3 mm at maximum. Under circumstance, the length of each side of the claw


13




a


should be set to make slope angle θ of the slope side


13




a




2


bigger so that the magnetic rings can be easily attached to the neck portion


103


.




A slope side


13




a




2




s


is a start position of the slope for the slope side


13




a




2


. The slope side


13




a




2




s


is not set to the position coming out of the outer diameter side of the neck portion


103


but contiguous the outer diameter portion of the neck portion


103


. The slope angle θ, for example, is 32 degrees. The reason why the slope side


13




a




2




s


does not start from the inner diameter side of the neck portion


103


(and the reason why the claw


13




a


has the edge side


13




a




1


) is because the slope angle θ will be maximum at this position.




As the magnetic rings


10


and


11


are inserted to the neck portion


103


from the narrower diameter side of the deflection yoke, the magnetic rings


10


and


11


contact the prominence


14


and the neck portion


103


flex inwardly to let the magnetic rings


10


and


11


pass through the prominence


14


. Then the magnetic rings


10


and


11


contact the slope side


13




a




2


and the tongue


13


flex inwardly. Eventually, the magnetic rings


10


and


11


are held between the protrusions


12




a


and


12




b


, and the claw


13




a


. The distance between the protrusions


12




a


and


12




b


, and the claw


13




a


is lesser than the thickness of the magnetic rings


10


and


11


so that the bounce force of the protrusion


12




a


and


12




b


holds the magnetic rings


10


and


11


.




The adjustment of a characteristic of a magnetic field of CRT can be accomplished by putting a deflection yoke on the CRT and rotating the magnetic rings


10


and


11


. The magnetic rings can be rotate at an appropriate torque (not too tight or not too loose) by the protrusions


12




a


and


12




b


, and the claw


13




a


holding the magnetic rings


10


and


11


so that the magnetic rings


10


and


11


can not easily rotate before they are being fixed with a glue after the adjustment. This torque is also caused by the bounce force of the protrusions


12




a


and


12




b


in the direction of the Z axis.





FIG. 11

is a cross-sectional view of the tongues


103




f


and


103




c


of the neck portion


103


along with the direction of the Z axis where the magnetic ring


11


is being inserted. When the magnetic rings


10


and


11


is inserted in the neck portion


103


by hands, the magnetic ring


11


will occasionally be pushed to the direction shown as an arrow A in

FIG. 11

which is the direction orthogonal to the Z axis. Then the tongue


103




f


flexes inwardly from the position shown in a dotted line. At this position, the inner circumference side of the magnetic ring


11


contacts the edge side


13




a




1


of the claw


13




a.






This will cause the insertion of magnetic ring


11


to the neck portion


103


difficult. Too much strength to insert the magnetic ring


11


in the neck portion


103


at this position may break the magnetic rings


10


and


11


. As explained above, the magnetic rings


10


and


11


may break in the way of inserting.

is bigger than the inner circumference of the magnetic rings


10


,


11


,


20


and


21


.





FIG. 6

is a cross-sectional view of a substantial portion of a deflection yoke for explaining an insertion of a magnetic ring to a deflection yoke according to the present invention. As the magnetic ring


11


is inserted to the neck portion


3


, the magnetic ring


11


passes through the prominence


14


(not shown in

FIG. 6

) and comes to the position shown in FIG.


6


. As the inner circumference of the magnetic ring


11


is shorter than the circumference of the outer side surfaces


80




a




2


and


80




b




2


, the magnetic ring


11


contacts the slope surfaces


80




a




1


and


80




b




1


. As the magnetic ring


11


moves to the direction D (shown as an arrow D), the tongues


3




c


and


3




d


(and tongues


3




a


and


3




b


) flex inwardly (to the direction shown as an arrow C) from the position shown in a dotted line to the position shown in a solid line. As the tongues


3




a


through


3




d


flex equally, the position of the magnetic ring


11


is set on the center of the neck portion


3


. The insertion of the magnetic rings


10


,


20


and


21


operates in exactly same manner.




As the magnetic ring


11


is inserted towards the direction D, the magnetic ring


11


contact the protrusions


80




a


and


80




b


, and then contact the slope sides


33




a




2


and


33




b




2


. As the magnetic ring


11


is further inserted to the direction D, the holding portions


33




a


and


33




b


flex inwardly to the direction C, and it overcomes the protrusions


33




a




0


and


33




b




0


. Consequently, the magnetic ring


11


is inserted between the protrusions


33




a




0


and


33




b




0


of the upper holding portions


33




a


and


33




b


, and the holding portions


32




a


and


32




b.






The magnetic rings


10


,


20


and


21


are inserted to the neck portion


3


as described above. As the pushing force is added to the neck portion


3


to the direction C, the bounce force pushes back the protrusions


80




a


and


80




b


to keep the center of magnetic rings


10


,


11


,


20


and


21


in the coaxial center of the neck portion


3


. Further, the protrusions


80




a


and


80




b


induce the magnetic rings to contact the slope side


33




a




2


and


33




b




2


of the upper holding portions


33




a


and


33




b.






Consequently, even when the tongues


3




a


through


3




d


flex, the magnetic rings


10


,


11


,


20


and


21


do not contact the edge surfaces


33




a




1


and


33




b




1


of the upper holding portions


33




a


and


33




b


, but contact the edge surfaces


33




a




4


and


33




b




4


. This is a simple and easy way to attach the magnetic rings


10


,


11


,


20


and


21


on the neck portion


3


. In addition, the magnetic rings


10


,


11


,


20


and


21


will not break since they do not contact the edge surfaces


33




a




1


and


33




b




1


.




Further more, the protrusions


80




a


and


80




b


induce the clamp band


5


to the appropriate position and restrict the position towards the direction of the Z axis. Even if the clamp band


5


contact the slope surfaces


80




a




1


and


80




b




1


before tightening up the bolt


6


, the clamp band


5


will slip the slope surfaces


80




a




1


and


80




b




1


to the direction towards the neck as the bolt


6


is being tightening up. Eventually, the clamp band


5


is induced to the position


80




a




1




s


and


80




b




1




s


as shown in FIG.


5


.




In addition, as the clamp band


5


does not contact the protrusions


33




a




0


,


33




b




0


when the clamp band


5


is tightened up, the slope angle of the slope sides


33




a




2


and


33




b




2


(equivalent to the slope angle θ shown in

FIG. 10

) can be increased to make the insertion of the magnetic rings


10


,


11


,


20


and


21


easier.




The present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above and can be modified in various ways. The protrusions


80




a


and


80




b


can be formed in any place as long as the physical relationship between the protrusion


80




a


and


80




b


, and the protrusions


33




a




0


and


33




b




0


in the direction of the Z axis is the same as the first embodiment. However, it is preferable that the position of the protrusions


80




a


and


80




b


are formed contiguous the protrusions


33




a




0


and


33




b




0


. The slope sides


80




a




1


and


80




b




1


may not necessarily be flat. They can be curved surface as long as they help the insertion of the magnetic rings


10


,


11


,


20


and


21


easier. The other sides of the protrusions


80




a


and


80




b


are not necessarily flat that the edge line can be rounded off which is preferable for the purpose of molding the neck portion


3


. The number of the protrusions


80




a


and


80




b


is not limited to two which is same as the number of the upper holding portions


33




a


and


33




b


in this embodiment. There can be more than two protrusions


80




a


and


80




b


formed in the neck portion


3


.
