Abstract

The present invention relates to an electromagnetic coupling device. In the electromagnetic coupling device according to the present invention, ends ( 5 a and 5 b ) of a winding of an electromagnetic coil ( 5 ) are fitted to grooves of a terminal casing, and terminal members ( 19 a and 19 b ) are press-fitted to a groove crossing the abovementioned groove, so that lead wires ( 18 a and 18 b ) held by the terminal members ( 19 a and 19 b ) are electrically connected to the ends ( 5 a and 5 b ) of the winding. Terminal lines ( 51 a and 51 b ) made of enameled copper wires are connected to the opposite ends of the winding of the electromagnetic coil ( 5 ) made of an aluminum wire, and the terminal lines ( 51 a and 51 b ) handled as the ends ( 5 a and 5 b ) of the winding are connected to brass-made connection pieces ( 29 a and 29 b ) of the terminal members ( 19 a and 19 b ).

Claims (8)

1. An electromagnetic coupling device comprising

an electromagnet including an annular yoke internally provided with an electromagnetic coil, and an insulative terminal casing fixed to the yoke, wherein

the terminal casing has a first groove to which opposite ends bent in a direction away from each other of a winding of the electromagnetic coil are fitted, the electromagnetic coil is led into the terminal casing, and a second groove crossing the first groove,

the terminal casing has a pair of terminal members fitted to the second groove, the terminal members are connected to lead wires for conduction to the ends of the winding, and for connection with an external electric circuit for supplying a power the terminal member has a connection piece having a slit into to which each of the ends of the winding extending across the second groove is press-fitted, and

materials forming the winding of the electromagnetic coil and the connection piece are different kinds of metal materials, the opposite ends of the winding of the electromagnetic coil are respectively connected to terminal lines by caulking coil terminals, the terminal lines are made of a metal material that is different in kind from the material forming the winding of the electromagnetic coil, an end of each terminal line forms an end of the electromagnetic coil and is fitted to the first groove, and the terminal line, made of a material that is the same in kind as the material forming the connection piece, is fitted to the slit formed in the connection piece.

2. The electromagnetic coupling device according to claim 1 , wherein the winding of the electromagnetic coil is made of an aluminum-based material, and the connection piece and the terminal line are both made of a copper-based material.

3. The electromagnetic coupling device according to claim 2 , wherein the connection piece is made of brass, and the terminal line is made of a copper wire.

4. The electromagnetic coupling device according to claim 1 , wherein one of the ends of the winding of the electromagnetic coil is connected to the terminal line via a fuse.
