Description




BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION




1. Field of the Invention




The present invention relates to a deflection yoke, which is constituted to fix vertical float and horizontal float between a coil separator and a front cover which are assembled together in the deflection yoke, to improve the structure of the connection between the coil separator and the front cover.




2. Description of the Related Art




In general, the deflection yoke used for a television receiver or a cathode ray tube of a monitor is formed in various types such as a Saddle-Troidal Type, a Saddle-Saddle Type, and has a part to accurately deflect an electron beam scanned from an electron gun to a fluorescent film applied on the screen of the cathode ray tube.




As illustrated in

FIG. 1

, a general deflection yoke


101


is positioned in a neck portion of a cathode ray tube


102


and is divided into two main types, the Saddle-Saddle Type and the Saddle-Troidal Type according to the winding structure of coils.




The deflection yoke deflects an electron beam launched from a RGB electron gun


103


positioned in the neck portion of the cathode ray tube


102


to the left/right and upper/lower directions and thus has the part to impact to the accurate position on the fluorescent surface of the cathode ray tube.




The structure of connecting a coil separator and a front cover according to the present invention is applicable to any one of the Saddle-Saddle Type deflection yoke and the Saddle-Troidal Type deflection yoke, and the Saddle-Saddle Type is described below.




However, a person having an ordinary knowledge in this art can know that the structure of an inner arm in the present invention and the related arts can be also applicable to the aforementioned Saddle-Troidal Type deflection yoke.




The general deflection yoke


101


is constituted as follows. An approximately conical coil separator


113


has a front cover


111


to be connected toward the cathode ray tube and a rear cover


112


being formed at the opposite side, and a horizontal deflection coil


113




a


is formed in the upper/lower sides inside of the peripheral surface of the screen portion of the coil separator


113


and a vertical deflection coil


113




b


is formed in the left/right sides of the peripheral surface.




An approximately cylinder-shaped ferrite core


114


is provided on the peripheral surface of the screen portion of the coil separator


113


to strengthen a magnetic field of the vertical deflection coil


113




b.






Further, coma free coils


115


to correct a coma occurred by the vertical deflection coil


113




b


are additionally formed at about the peripheral surface of a neck portion of the coil separator


113


.




The deflection yoke as constituted above is mounted to the neck portion of the cathode ray tube. If an electric current is applied to the horizontal and vertical deflection coils, the magnetic field is generated and the electron beam in red (R), green (G) and blue (B) radiated from an electron gun of the cathode ray tube is deflected, thereby determining a scanning position on the screen.




In the general deflection yoke, the coil separate


113


and the front cover


111


are integrated in a solid body, however, these are manufactured in the separate forms and used in the state of connecting two if necessary. In connecting a coil separator with a front cover manufactured in the separate forms and using the connected ones, for said connection, the present invention is to improve the structure of a connection projection of the coil separator and a connection hook of the front cover. Below, the structure of connecting the connection projection of the general coil separator and the connection hook of the front cover.

FIG. 2

The coil separator and front cover connected by the connection structure can prevent only the vertical float, that is, the upper and lower direction (z direction) float of the coil separator but cannot prevent the horizontal float, that is, the left and right directions (x,y directions) float and thus have the problem of causing a quality degradation.




To solve the above-indicated problem, although there has been a study of the method of adding an additional assembly structure for the left and right direction constraint, there are the problems that the structure is complicate and the assembling productivity is degraded.




Therefore, it is keenly required to provide the structure of the coil separator and the front cover which have an excellent assembling productivity and offer the positive structure to prevent the float in the three dimensional space.
