Abstract

Provide are a solenoid coil structure, a solenoid coil assembly and a control device each including the same. The solenoid coil structure includes: a bobbin having a cylindrical body about which a coil is wound and a plurality of lead-pin coupling parts extending on the body in an axial direction; and a housing having an outer side surface covering an outer circumferential surface of the body, and an end surface which the plurality of lead-pin coupling parts pass through and protrude from and which is located on an end of the outer side surface in the axial direction.

Claims (36)

1. A solenoid coil structure comprising:

a coil;

a lead pin connected to the coil;

a bobbin having a cylindrical body about which the coil is wound and a plurality of lead-pin coupling parts extending on the body in an axial direction; and

a housing having

an outer side surface covering an outer circumferential surface of the body, and

an end surface which the plurality of lead-pin coupling parts pass through and protrude from and which is located on an end of the outer side surface in the axial direction,

wherein

the body of the bobbin includes a flange extending outward in a radial direction and having a recessed portion recessed inward in the radial direction, and

each of the plurality of lead-pin coupling parts includes:

two lead-pin coupling ports adjacent to the recessed portion of the flange, the lead pin being coupled to one of the two lead-pin coupling ports; and

a coil guide groove between the two lead-pin coupling ports and in the recessed portion of the flange, an end portion of the coil being inserted in the coil guide groove.

2. The solenoid coil structure of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of lead-pin coupling parts are arranged in the radial direction on an end of the body in the axial direction.

3. The solenoid coil structure of claim 2 , wherein the plurality of lead-pin coupling parts are arranged to be symmetrical with respect to a center of the body in the axial direction.

4. The solenoid coil structure of claim 1 , wherein the end surface of the housing is provided with a plurality of through-holes through which ends of the plurality of lead-pin coupling parts pass through and protrude from the end surface of the housing, and

wherein the number of the plurality of through-holes is greater than or equal to the number of the plurality of lead-pin coupling parts.

5. The solenoid coil structure of claim 1 , wherein the number of the plurality of lead-pin coupling parts is four,

wherein the four lead-pin coupling parts are located on the end of the body in the axial direction and spaced a same distance from one another, and

in each of the plurality of lead-pin coupling parts, the two lead-pin coupling ports are arranged to be parallel.

6. The solenoid coil structure of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of lead-pin coupling parts comprise a first lead-pin coupling part and a second lead-pin coupling part spaced apart from the first led-pin coupling part, and

wherein two lead pins are coupled to the first lead-pin coupling part.

7. A solenoid coil assembly with a plurality of solenoid coil structures according to claim 1 , wherein at least one lead pin is coupled to each of the plurality of solenoid coil structures,

wherein a lead pin among the at least one lead pin coupled to each of the plurality of solenoid coil structures is arranged in a straight line, and

the solenoid coil assembly further comprises a first bus bar configured to connect lead pins arranged in the straight pin among the at least one lead pin coupled to each of the plurality of solenoid coil structures.

8. The solenoid coil assembly of claim 7 , wherein the first bus bar comprises a linear section for connecting three or more adjacent lead pins.

9. The solenoid coil assembly of claim 7 , further comprising a second bus bar configured to connect the other lead pins coupled to the plurality of solenoid coil structures when two or more lead pins are coupled to each of the plurality of solenoid coil structures.

10. The solenoid coil assembly of claim 9 , wherein the first bus bar and the second bus bar are arranged to be parallel.

11. A control device with a plurality of solenoid coil structures according to claim 1 , in which at least one lead pin is coupled to each of the plurality of solenoid coil structures and a lead pin among the at least one lead pin is arranged in a straight line, the control device comprising:

a first controller configured to control a current to be transmitted to the plurality of solenoid coil structures;

a second controller configured to control the current to be transmitted to the plurality of solenoid coil structures together with the first controller or in place of the first controller when the first controller malfunctions;

a first bus bar configured to connect lead pins arranged in the straight pin among the at least one lead pin coupled to each of the plurality of solenoid coil structures;

a first lead wire configured to connect the first bus bar to the first controller; and

a second lead wire configured to connect the first bus bar to the second controller.

12. The control device of claim 11 , wherein the first bus bar comprises a linear section for connecting three or more adjacent lead pins.

13. The control device of claim 11 , further comprising a second bus bar configured to connect the other lead pins coupled to the plurality of solenoid coil structures when two or more lead pins are coupled to each of the plurality of solenoid coil structures.

14. The control device of claim 13 , wherein the first bus bar and the second bus bar are arranged to be parallel.
