Abstract

A coil device 10 comprises a bobbin 40 having a bobbin plate 42 provided with a first hollow cylinder 44 on which a primary coil 20 is wound, and a case 50 provided with a second hollow cylinder 54 wound by a secondary coil 30 at the outer circumference. On the bobbin plate 42 , a primary terminal 70 connecting to the primary coil 20 and a secondary terminal 72 connecting to the secondary coil 30 are formed, and a tip end portion 55 a of case 50 is extended to the end portion of the bobbin plate 42 to which the secondary terminal 72 is formed. Further, on the tip end portion 55 a , plural first grooves 57 a for lead are formed.

Claims (31)

1. A coil device comprising

a bobbin having a bobbin plate provided with a first hollow cylinder, on which a primary coil is wound at an outer circumference, and

a case provided with a second hollow cylinder readily mounted on an outer circumference of said primary coil and wound by a secondary coil at an outer circumference, and provided with a lower collar part which is formed at a lower end of said second hollow cylinder so as to be mounted on an upper surface of said bobbin plate, wherein

on one end portion of said bobbin plate in a longitudinal direction, a plurality of primary terminals connecting to said primary coil are formed projecting out along the longitudinal direction of said bobbin plate, and on the other end portion of said bobbin plate in the longitudinal direction, a plurality of secondary terminals connecting to said secondary coil are formed projecting out along the longitudinal direction of said bobbin plate, and

a tip end portion of the lower collar part of said case at a side of the secondary terminal is extended at least to the other end portion of said bobbin plate in a longitudinal direction to which said secondary terminal is formed, and plural first grooves for lead, which guide a lead wire of said secondary coil to a connection part with said secondary terminal, are formed on said tip end portion,

a distance between the outer circumference of said primary coil and an inner circumference of said secondary coil changes along a circumferential direction and an intermediate region that passes a primary lead wire of said primary coil is provided between the outer circumference of said primary coil and the inner circumference of said secondary coil,

at an inner circumference side of a winding bottom of said secondary coil, said outer circumference of said primary coil is positioned proximally to said inner circumference of said secondary coil sandwiching said second hollow cylinder,

at the inner circumference side of the winding top of said secondary coil, the distance between the outer circumference of said primary coil and inner circumference of said secondary coil increases so that the intermediate region is made therebetween, and

the primary lead wire of said primary coil passes through the intermediate region and is connected to the primary terminals.

2. The coil device as set forth in claim 1 , wherein

a second groove for lead, further guiding said lead wire which is guided by said first groove for lead to the connection part with said secondary terminal is formed on the end portion of said bobbin plate, and

the tip end portion of the lower collar part of said case at the side of the secondary terminal is extended at least to the position where the tip end portion of the lower collar part overlaps with said second groove for lead.

3. The coil device as set forth in claim 1 or 2 , wherein

the tip end portion of the lower collar part of said case at the side of the secondary terminal projects, either equaling or surpassing the end portion of said bobbin plate.

4. The coil device as set forth in claim 1 , wherein

said first grooves for lead are formed on the tip end portion of said lower collar part at the side of the secondary terminal along the end portion of said bobbin plate.

5. The coil device as set forth in claim 1 , wherein

an upper collar part is formed on the upper end of said second hollow cylinder of said case,

at least one intermediate collar part is formed on the outer circumference of said second hollow cylinder which is located between said upper collar part and said lower collar part, and

a tip end portion of said intermediate collar part is extended to the end portion of said bobbin plate on which said secondary terminal is formed, and a third groove for lead guiding a lead wire of said secondary coil to a connection part with said secondary terminal is formed on the tip end portion of said intermediate collar part.

6. The coil device as set forth in claim 1 , wherein

middle legs of a pair of ferrite cores are respectively inserted into a through hole of said first hollow cylinder, from top and bottom of said first hollow cylinder, and side legs and base portions of the pair of ferrite cores are assembled to cover a part of said case and bobbin from the outer circumference.

7. The coil device as set forth in claim 1 , wherein

a winding shape of said primary coil is an ellipse shape,

a winding shape of said secondary coil is an egg shape and a major axis direction and a minor axis direction of the egg shape corresponds with that of the ellipse shape which is a winding shape of said primary coil,

said secondary coil comprises the winding bottom which is located on one end portion of the major axis, and a winding top which is located on the other end portion and has a larger curvature than the winding bottom, and

the distance between said primary coil outer perimeter edge and said secondary coil inner perimeter edge becomes long and the intermediate region is formed at the inner circumference side of the winding top of said secondary coil.

8. The coil device as set forth in claim 1 , wherein

winding shapes of said primary coil and said secondary coil are made different from each other.

9. The coil device as set forth in claim 1 , wherein

said primary coil is bilaterally symmetric with respect to a reference axis, and said secondary coil is bilaterally asymmetric with respect to said reference axis.
