Abstract

Disclosed is a field coil assembly of an electromagnetic clutch including a bobbin from which lead wires, which are both ends of a coil made of an aluminum-based material, protrude outward, a core that surrounds the bobbin such that the lead wires are exposed, a bobbin terminal installed at the bobbin while being adjacent to the lead wire of the coil, and a connector coupled to the core and including a lead wire terminal. The lead wires of the coil are connected to the bobbin terminal through heating and pressing.

Claims (30)

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

a bobbin from which lead wires, which are both ends of a coil made of an aluminum-based material, protrude outward;

a core that surrounds the bobbin such that the lead wires are exposed;

a bobbin terminal installed at the bobbin while being adjacent to the lead wire of the coil; and

a connector coupled to the core and including a lead wire terminal,

wherein the lead wires of the coil are connected to the bobbin terminal through heating and pressing, and

wherein the bobbin terminal comprises:

a body fixed onto the bobbin; and

a connection rib extending horizontally from the body to surround the lead wires.

2. The field coil assembly of the electromagnetic clutch as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the connection rib comprises:

a lead wire mounting portion extending from the body to surround the lead wires; and

a close contact portion extending from the lead wire mounting portion in parallel to the body.

3. The field coil assembly of the electromagnetic clutch as claimed in any one of claims 1 , wherein a solder layer is formed at a core wire of a front end of the lead wire.

4. The field coil assembly of the electromagnetic clutch as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the solder layer is formed by dipping the core wire of the lead wire in a solder solution.

5. The field coil assembly of the electromagnetic clutch as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the solder layer is formed by dipping the core wire in a solder solution bath including an ultrasonic generator.

6. The field coil assembly of the electromagnetic clutch as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the bobbin terminal is formed with a mounting recess and a connection portion provided at a front end of the lead wire terminal is locked with the mounting recess.

7. The field coil assembly of the electromagnetic clutch as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the bobbin terminal comprises:

a mounting plate having an upper surface on which a connection portion provided at a front end of the lead wire terminal is mounted; and

a coupling portion extending from both sides of the mounting plate to support a side surface and an upper surface of the connection portion.

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

a bobbin from which lead wires, which are both ends of a coil made of an aluminum-based material, protrude outward;

a core that surrounds the bobbin such that the lead wires are exposed;

a bobbin terminal installed at the bobbin while being adjacent to the lead wire of the coil; and

a connector coupled to the core and including a lead wire terminal,

wherein the lead wires of the coil are connected to the bobbin terminal through heating and pressing,

wherein the connector comprises:

a holder fixed at one side of the core; and

a clip coupled to the holder while fixedly interposing the lead wire terminal therebetween, and

wherein the holder is provided with a guide boss and a fixing boss, the clip is formed with a guide hole and a coupling hole into which the guide boss and the fixing boss are inserted, and the holder and the clip are fixed to each other by a fusing process.

9. The field coil assembly of the electromagnetic clutch as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the bobbin terminal is formed with a mounting recess and a connection portion provided at a front end of the lead wire terminal is locked with the mounting recess.
