Abstract

The present invention relates to a field coil assembly of an electromagnetic clutch for a compressor. The present invention comprises a core 210 , and a coil 240 installed to the core 210 and formed by winding a unit wire 250 . At this time, the unit wire 250 wound on the coil 240 is made of aluminum, and an area ratio R of an inner sectional area M of the core 210 to a cross-sectional area of the unit wire 250 is 400 to 640. According to the present invention as above, since the unit wire 250 used for the coil 240 is made of aluminum with a small specific weight and low price rather than copper, the weight of the field coil assembly 200 is decreased to improve fuel efficiency of a vehicle and decrease a production cost of the field coil assembly 200.

Claims (7)

1. A field coil assembly of an electromagnetic clutch for a compressor, the electromagnetic clutch transmitting or cutting off a driving power to the compressor selectively, the field coil assembly generating a magnetic flux to bring a disc assembly into close contact with a pulley when power is applied to the field coil assembly, the field coil assembly comprising:

a core; and

a coil installed to the core and formed by winding a unit wire,

wherein the unit wire is made of aluminum, an area ratio of an inner sectional area of the core to a cross-sectional area of the unit wire is 400 to 640, and the unit wire has a diameter of 0.65 mm to 0.95 mm.

2. The field coil assembly of an electromagnetic clutch for a compressor as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the core further comprises therein a bobbin having a terminal at one side thereof, and a fixing cover coupled to the bobbin to support the coil.

3. The field coil assembly of an electromagnetic clutch for a compressor as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a bobbin having a terminal provided at one side thereof is provided inside of the core, and the bobbin is molded in the core using epoxy or resin.

4. The field coil assembly of an electromagnetic clutch for a compressor as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the aluminum of the unit wire has a degree of purity of 99.0% or above.
