Abstract

A core unit includes a magnetic substance core formed in an annular shape, electric wires of plural phases being wound around the magnetic substance core at respective positions that are different from each other, and a restriction member that restricts the displacement of the electric wires about the axis of the magnetic substance core, the electric wires being wound around the magnetic substance core. The restriction member has a body fixed to one end of the magnetic substance core in the axial direction, and a plurality of cutout portions are formed in edge portions of the body, the cutout portions surround the respective electric wires wound around the magnetic substance core separately from the inside of the magnetic substance core in the radial direction.

Claims (25)

1. A core unit comprising:

a magnetic substance core formed in an annular shape, electric wires of plural phases being wound around the magnetic substance core at respective positions that are different from each other about an axis of the magnetic substance core; and

a restriction member configured to restrict displacement of the electric wires about the axis of the magnetic substance core, the electric wires being wound around the magnetic substance core, wherein

the restriction member includes a body fixed to one end of the magnetic substance core in the axial direction of the magnetic substance core, and

a plurality of cutout portions are formed in edge portions of the body, the cutout portions are configured to surround the respective electric wires of each phase wound around the magnetic substance core separately from an inside of the magnetic substance core in a radial direction with the axis of the magnetic substance core as a center.

2. The core unit according to claim 1 , wherein shapes of the cutout portions correspond to respective winding shapes of the electric wires with respect to the magnetic substance core as viewed from the axial direction of the magnetic substance core.

3. The core unit according to claim 1 , wherein

each of the cutout portions supports the corresponding electric wire wound around the magnetic substance core from both sides about the axis of the magnetic substance core.

4. The core unit according to claim 2 , wherein

each of the cutout portions supports the corresponding electric wire wound around the magnetic substance core from both sides about the axis of the magnetic substance core.

5. The core unit according to claim 1 , wherein

the restriction member further includes a plurality of fins that project upwardly.

6. The core unit according to claim 2 , wherein

the restriction member further includes a plurality of fins that project upwardly.

7. The core unit according to claim 3 , wherein

the restriction member further includes a plurality of fins that project upwardly.

8. A wire harness comprising:

a magnetic substance core formed in an annular shape; electric wires of plural phases, the electric wires being wound around the magnetic substance core at respective positions that are different from each other about an axis of the magnetic substance core; and

a restriction member configured to restrict displacement of the electric wires about the axis of the magnetic substance core, the electric wires being wound around the magnetic substance core, wherein

the restriction member includes a body fixed to one end of the magnetic substance core in the axial direction of the magnetic substance core, the body including a plurality of cutout portions formed in edge portions of the body, and

the cutout portions separately surround the respective electric wires of each phase wound around the magnetic substance core from an inside of the magnetic substance core in a radial direction with the axis of the magnetic substance core as a center.

9. The wire harness according to claim 8 further comprising:

a holding unit that is fixed to a vehicle body and configured to hold the magnetic substance core and the restriction member, wherein

the body of the restriction member is a conductive member including a connection portion electrically connected with the holding unit, and

the holding unit electrically connects the connection portion and the vehicle body.
