Wire connection structure having a coil-shaped circuit formed by wire end portions and a conductive member wound around a ring-shaped magnetic body
A wire connection structure includes a ring-shaped magnetic body, a first wire having a first wire end portion which is inserted through the ring-shaped magnetic body from a first direction, a second wire having a second wire end portion which is inserted through the ring-shaped magnetic body from a second direction opposite to the first direction, and a conductive member which is disposed outside the ring-shaped magnetic body and has two end portions that are electrically connected to a conductor of the first wire end portion and a conductor of the second wire end portion respectively.
1. A wire connection structure comprising:
a ring-shaped magnetic body;
a first wire having a first wire end portion which is inserted through the ring-shaped magnetic body from a first direction;
a second wire having a second wire end portion which is inserted through the ring-shaped magnetic body from a second direction opposite to the first direction; and
a conductive member which is disposed outside the ring-shaped magnetic body and has two end portions that are electrically connected to a conductor of the first wire end portion and a conductor of the second wire end portion respectively,
wherein the first wire end portion and the second wire portion together form a coil-shaped circuit with the conductive member that is wound around the ring-shaped magnetic body without the first wire end portion and the second wire portion being wound around the ring-shaped magnetic body.
2. The wire connection structure according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a first terminal that is connected to the conductor of the first wire end portion; and
a second terminal that is connected to the conductor of the second wire end portion,
wherein the first terminal and the second terminal are fastened to the two end portions of the conductive member respectively with bolts.
3. A noise reduction unit comprising:
the wire connection structure according to claim 2 ; and
a housing,
wherein the ring-shaped magnetic body, the first wire end portion, the second wire end portion, and the conductive member are housed in the housing and sealed in by sealing material.
4. The noise reduction unit according to claim 3 , wherein the conductive member is a busbar;
wherein the first terminal and the second terminal are positioned and held by a bottom portion of the housing having a top opening; and
wherein the first terminal and the second terminal are electrically connected to each other by the busbar.
5. The noise reduction unit according to claim 3 , wherein the conductive member is a busbar and is positioned and held by a bottom portion of the housing having a top opening.
6. A wire harness comprising:
the noise reduction unit according to claim 3 .
7. The wire connection structure according to claim 1 , wherein the ring-shaped magnetic body defines an upper half-ring portion and a lower half-ring portion, and the conductive member is wound once around at least one of the upper half-ring portion and the lower half-ring portion.
8. The wire connection structure according to claim 1 , wherein the first wire end portion and the second wire end portion are electrically connected to each other through the conductive member.
