Abstract

The present invention relates to a field coil assembly of an electromagnetic clutch for a compressor. A field coil assembly according to the present invention includes a field coil member 20 having a coil wire 22 extending outward; a power connecting member 30 having a sleeve 35 with a terminal 40 protruding out, the terminal electrically connecting the coil wire 22 to an external power source; a flange 28 coupled to one side of the field coil member 20 with the coil wire 22 drawn therefrom, the flange 28 having a catching portion 29 coupled with the sleeve 35 , the flange 28 having electric conductivity; and a ground terminal 50 provided in the sleeve 35 and electrically connected to the terminal 40 , the ground terminal 50 having at least a portion contacted with the catching portion 29.

Claims (12)

1. A field coil assembly of an electromagnetic clutch, comprising:

a field coil member having a coil wire extending outward;

a power connecting member having a sleeve with a terminal protruding out, the terminal electrically connecting the coil wire to an external power source;

a flange coupled to one side of the field coil member with the coil wire drawn therefrom, the flange having a catching portion coupled with the sleeve, the flange having electric conductivity; and

a ground terminal provided in the sleeve and electrically connected to the terminal, the ground terminal having at least a portion contacted with the catching portion.

2. The field coil assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the portion of the terminal that protrudes out of the sleeve, includes:

a support being in contact with a drawn-out side of the coil wire; and

a bent portion bent at a position adjacent to the support to have height different from the support, the bent portion being spaced from the drawn-out side of the coil wire,

wherein a portion of the coil wire that draws from the field coil member is inserted between the support and the bent portion and electrically connected to the terminal.

3. The field coil assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a horizontal slot is formed at a gap between the support and the bent, and the bent portion is bent in a state where the portion of the coil wire that draws from the field coil member is inserted into the horizontal slot, thereby electrically connecting the coil wire to the terminal.

4. The field coil assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the sleeve has a hook that is caught to or released from the catching portion, and the ground terminal is at least partially exposed out of the hook.

5. The field coil assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the terminal and the ground terminal are integrally formed.
