Abstract

The invention relates to a coil former ( 1 ) for an electrical coil having a hollow central region for accommodating a subregion of a coil core ( 2 ) in the interior ( 11 a ) of the hollow central region and for applying at least one winding ( 3 ) to the outer side ( 11 b ) of the central region, movable flaps ( 12 a, 12 b ) being arranged at side regions of the coil former ( 1 ) and being designed such that, in the closed state, they are arranged as electrical insulation between the winding ( 3 ) and adjacently arranged outer limbs ( 21 ) of the coil core ( 2 ). The invention also relates to an electronic component having such a coil former ( 1 ) and to a method for producing such an electronic component.

Claims (21)

1 . A coil former for an electrical coil having a hollow central region for accommodating a subregion of a coil core ( 2 ) in the interior ( 11 a ) of the hollow central region and for applying at least one winding ( 3 ) to an outer side ( 11 b ) of the central region,

characterized in that movable flaps ( 12 a, 12 b ) are arranged at side regions of the coil former ( 1 ) and are designed such that, in the closed state, they are arranged as electrical insulation between the winding ( 3 ) and adjacently arranged outer limbs ( 21 ) of the coil core ( 2 ).

2 . The coil former as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the movable flaps ( 12 a, 12 b ) are arranged at opposite side regions.

3 . The coil former as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the movable flaps ( 12 a, 12 b ) are in the form of plates.

4 . The coil former as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the movable flaps ( 12 a, 12 b ) are integrated in the coil former ( 1 ).

5 . The coil former as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the movable flaps ( 12 a, 12 b ) are each connected to the side regions of the coil former ( 1 ) via a hinge apparatus, in particular a film hinge ( 121 ).

6 . The coil former as claimed in claim 5 , characterized in that each of the hinge apparatuses has a curved, in particular arcuate profile.

7 . The coil former as claimed in claim 5 , characterized in that each of the movable flaps ( 12 a, 12 b ) is held stably in position in the closed and/or open end state by the associated hinge apparatus, in particular by a curved hinge apparatus.

8 . The coil former as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the movable flaps ( 12 a, 12 b ) are opened before the winding ( 3 ) is attached to the coil former ( 1 ).

9 . An electronic component having a coil former as claimed in claim 1 and having at least one winding ( 3 ) and a coil core ( 2 ), the coil core ( 2 ) having two outer limbs ( 21 ) which at least partially engage around the coil former ( 1 ).

10 . The electronic component as claimed in claim 9 , characterized in that the movable flaps ( 12 a, 12 b ) are closed once the winding ( 3 ) has been attached to the coil former ( 1 ) and before the coil core ( 2 ) is attached.

11 . The electronic component as claimed in claim 10 , characterized in that the coil core ( 2 ), in the assembled state of the electronic component, is arranged such that the closed state of the movable flaps ( 12 a, 12 b ) can be effected by the coil core ( 2 ), in particular the outer limbs ( 21 ) of the coil core ( 2 ).

12 . A method for producing an electronic component having a coil former ( 1 ) and a coil core ( 2 ), the coil core ( 2 ) having at least two outer limbs ( 21 ) which are arranged such that they are spaced apart from the winding ( 3 ) and at least partially engage around the coil former ( 1 ), characterized in that movable flaps ( 12 a, 12 b ) are attached to the coil former ( 1 ), are closed once the winding ( 3 ) has been applied to the coil former ( 1 ) and, in the closed state, are positioned as insulation between the winding ( 3 ) and the outer limbs ( 21 ) of the coil core ( 2 ).

13 . The method as claimed in claim 12 , characterized in that the movable flaps ( 12 a, 12 b ) are integrally extruded at opposite side regions of the coil former ( 1 ).

14 . The method as claimed in claim 12 , characterized in that the coil core ( 2 ) is fitted once the movable flaps ( 12 a, 12 b ) have been closed, in particular such that the closed state is held by the outer limbs ( 21 ) of the coil core ( 2 ).

15 . The method as claimed in claim 12 , characterized in that the movable flaps ( 12 a, 12 b ) are each connected to the side regions of the coil former ( 1 ) via hinge apparatuses, in particular film hinges ( 121 ), the hinge apparatuses being curved, in particular arcuate.

16 . The method as claimed in claim 15 , characterized in that each of the movable flaps ( 12 a, 12 b ) is held stably in position in the closed and/or open end state by the associated hinge apparatus, in particular by a curved hinge apparatus.

17 . The method as claimed in claim 13 , characterized in that the coil core ( 2 ) is fitted once the movable flaps ( 12 a, 12 b ) have been closed, in particular such that the closed state is held by the outer limbs ( 21 ) of the coil core ( 2 ).

18 . The method as claimed in claim 13 , characterized in that the movable flaps ( 12 a, 12 b ) are each connected to the side regions of the coil former ( 1 ) via hinge apparatuses, in particular film hinges ( 121 ), the hinge apparatuses being curved, in particular arcuate.

19 . The coil former as claimed in claim 2 , characterized in that the movable flaps ( 12 a, 12 b ) are in the form of plates.

20 . The coil former as claimed in claim 6 , characterized in that each of the movable flaps ( 12 a, 12 b ) is held stably in position in the closed and/or open end state by the associated hinge apparatus, in particular by a curved hinge apparatus.
