Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a metal foil core including a winding member around which a metal foil is wound, a first protrusion member protruding from the winding member in a first direction (direction of arrow FD) of a first axis direction (X-axis direction), a second protrusion member protruding from the winding member in a second direction (direction of arrow SD) opposite to the first direction (direction of arrow FD) of the first axis direction (X-axis direction), and a first inducing groove formed in the first protrusion member to be disposed between both ends of the first protrusion member in the first axis direction (X-axis direction).

Claims (46)

1 . A metal foil core comprising:

a winding member around which a metal foil is wound;

a first protrusion member protruding from the winding member in a first direction (direction of arrow FD) of a first axis direction (X-axis direction);

a second protrusion member protruding from the winding member in a second direction (direction of arrow SD) opposite to the first direction (direction of arrow FD) of the first axis direction (X-axis direction); and

a first inducing groove defined on the first protrusion member that is disposed between a first end and a second end of the first protrusion member in the first axis direction (X-axis direction),

wherein the first protrusion member is supported by a support part of an accommodation device, the first inducing groove induces a sag and a deformation to be intensively generated at a portion of the first protrusion member in which the first inducing groove is formed.

2 . The metal foil core of claim 1 , wherein the first inducing groove is disposed at a position corresponding to a position ratio in a range of 0.1 to 0.3,

wherein the position ratio is calculated using Equation

PLLR

=

AD

PL

,

wherein PLLR denotes the position ratio, AD denotes a first separation distance by which the first inducing groove and one end of the first protrusion member, facing the first direction (direction of arrow FD), are spaced apart from each other in the first axis direction (X-axis direction), and PL denotes a length of the first protrusion member in the first axis direction (X-axis direction).

3 . The metal foil core of claim 2 , wherein PL is calculated using Equation

PL =( TL−WI )=2

wherein TL denotes a total length of the metal foil core in the first axis direction (X-axis direction), and WL denotes a length of the winding member in the first axis direction (X-axis direction).

4 . The metal foil core of claim 1 , wherein the first inducing groove is disposed at a position spaced a distance in a range of 20 mm to 150 mm from one end of the first protrusion member, facing the first direction (direction of arrow FD), in the first axis direction (X-axis direction).

5 . The metal foil core of claim 1 , wherein the first inducing groove is formed to have a depth corresponding to a depth ratio in a range of 0.1 to 0.5,

wherein the depth ratio is calculated using Equation

PDTR

=

GD

PD

,

wherein PDTR denotes the depth ratio, PD denotes a thickness of the first protrusion member, and GD denotes the depth of the first inducing groove.

6 . The metal foil core of claim 5 , wherein PD is calculated using Equation

PD =( OD−ID )+2,

wherein OD denotes an external diameter of the first protrusion member, and ID denotes an inner diameter of the first protrusion member.

7 . The metal foil core of claim 1 , wherein a width of the first inducing groove in the first axis direction (X-axis direction) is smaller than a depth of the first inducing groove.

8 . The metal foil core of claim 1 , wherein a depth of the first inducing groove is two times a width of the first inducing groove in the first axis direction (X-axis direction).

9 . The metal foil core of claim 1 , wherein a depth of the first inducing groove is greater than a thickness of the metal foil wound around the winding member.

10 . The metal foil core of claim 1 , wherein the first inducing groove is formed in a circumferential surface of the first protrusion member.

11 . The metal foil core of claim 1 , wherein a plurality of first inducing grooves are formed in the first protrusion member, and

the first inducing grooves are spaced apart from each other in the first axis direction (X-axis direction).

12 . The metal foil core of claim 1 , wherein a size of the first inducing groove decrease as the first inducing groove extends in a depth direction (direction of arrow DD).

13 . The metal foil core of claim 1 , wherein the first inducing groove includes a first corner groove formed in a corner connected to an outer surface of the first protrusion member or an inner surface of the first protrusion member, and

a size of the first corner groove decreases as the first corner groove extends in a depth direction (direction of arrow DD).

14 . The metal foil core of claim 13 , wherein a portion of the first protrusion member in which the first corner groove is formed is formed to have an inclined surface or a curved surface.

15 . The metal foil core of claim 1 , wherein a first buffer member that is elastically deformable is inserted into the first inducing groove.

16 . The metal foil core of claim 1 , wherein the first inducing groove is defined on an outer surface of the first protrusion member defined between the first end and the second end of the first protrusion member.

17 . The metal foil core of claim 1 , wherein the first inducing groove is defined on an inner surface of the first protrusion member defined between the first end and the second end of the first protrusion member.

18 . The metal foil core of claim 1 , further comprising:

a second inducing groove in defined on the second protrusion member that is disposed between a first end and a second end of the second protrusion member in the first axis direction (X-axis direction).

19 . The metal foil core of claim 18 , wherein a first separation distance by which the first inducing groove is spaced apart from one end of the first protrusion member facing the first direction (direction of arrow FD) and a second separation distance by which the second inducing groove is spaced apart from one end of the second protrusion member facing the second direction (direction of arrow SD) are the same.

20 . The metal foil core of claim 18 , wherein the second inducing groove and the first inducing groove are formed to have the same depth and are formed to have the same width in the first axis direction (X-axis direction).
