Nos. 6,407,677 B1 and 2003/0222829 A1 to apply the windings directly to a ferrite core designed as a flat component in the case of inductive components having a three-dimensional winding arrangement.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein induktives Miniatur-Bauelement, insbesondere eine Antenne, mit den im Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1 beschriebenen Merkmalen so auszubilden, dass eine wenig aufwendige Herstellung möglich ist, die insbesondere vollautomatisch durchgeführt werden kann, die aber insbesondere einen sicheren Sitz der dritten Spulenwicklung gewährleistet.The invention has the object of providing an inductive miniature device, in particular an antenna, with the features described in the preamble of claim 1 in such a way that a little expensive production is possible, which can be carried out in particular fully automatic, but in particular a secure fit the third coil winding guaranteed.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe geschieht erfindungsgemäß wie im kennzeichnenden Teil des Patentanspruchs 1 angegeben. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen des erfindungsgemäßen Bauelements sind in den abhängigen Vorrichtungsansprüchen beschrieben. Ein Verfahren zur automatischen Herstellung des erfindungsgemäßen Bauelements ist im Verfahrensanspruch 7 beschrieben.The solution of this problem is done according to the invention as indicated in the characterizing part of patent claim 1.

Der in den Fig. 1 bis 5 im nur teilweise bewickelten Zustand dargestellte Wickelkörper 1 ist als in seinen Außenumrissen achteckiges, flaches Bauteil ausgebildet und zum Aufbau einer isotropen Antenne gedacht, indem auf ihn drei Spulenwicklungen derart aufgebracht werden, dass die Achsen dieser Spulenwicklungen in die drei jeweils senkrecht zueinander ausgerichteten Raumrichtungen X, Y und Z weisen. Diese Raumrichtungen X, Y und Z sind in den Zeichnungen angegeben. Die Spulenwicklungen sind so auf den Wickelkörper 1 aufgebracht, dass eine erste Spulenwicklung 2X und eine zweite Spulenwicklung 2Y in zwei senkrecht zueinander und parallel zur Mittelebene des Wickelkörpers 1 liegenden Richtungen der Breite und der Länge des Wickelkörpers um diesen herumgewickelt sind und die dritte Spulenwicklung 2Z entlang der Schmalseite des Wickelkörpers 1 seinem Umfang folgend um diesen herumgewickelt ist.The winding body 1 shown in Figs. 1 to 5 in only partially wound state is formed as in its outer contours octagonal, flat component and intended to build an isotropic antenna by three coil windings are applied to him so that the axes of these coil windings in the three each aligned perpendicular to each other spatial directions X, Y and Z point. These spatial directions X, Y and Z are indicated in the drawings. The coil windings are applied to the winding body 1, that a first coil winding 2X and a second coil winding 2Y in two perpendicular to each other and parallel to the median plane of the bobbin 1 lying directions of the width and the length of the winding body are wound around this and the third coil winding 2Z along the narrow side of the winding body 1 following its circumference is wound around this.

In den vier Eckbereichen des Wickelkörpers 1 sind den Umfang des Wickelkörpers überragende, parallel zu einer Mittelebene des Wickelkörpers verlaufende und zu beiden Seiten des Windungsverlaufs der dritten Spulenwicklung 2Z liegende Führungselemente 3.1 bis 3.4 und 4.1 bis 4.4 angeordnet, die derart einander gegenüberliegen, dass, wie aus den Zeichnungen zu ersehen, jeweils zwei Führungselemente 3.1 und 4.1, 3.2 und 4.2, 3.3 und 4.3 sowie 3.4 und 4.4 Aufnahmetaschen mit U-förmigem Querschnitt bilden, in denen die Windungen der dritten Spulenwicklung 2Z verlaufen.In the four corner regions of the winding body 1, the circumference of the winding body, parallel to a median plane of the winding body extending and lying on both sides of the Windungsverlaufs the third coil winding 2Z guide elements 3.1 to 3.4 and 4.1 to 4.4 are arranged, which face each other such that can be seen from the drawings, two guide elements 3.1 and 4.1, 3.2 and 4.2, 3.3 and 4.3 and 3.4 and 4.4 respectively form receiving pockets with U-shaped cross-section, in which the turns of the third coil winding 2Z extend.

An den äußeren Kanten der Führungselemente 3.1 bis 3.4 an der Unterseite des Wickelkörpers 1 sind jeweils Anschlussfahnen 6.1 bis 6.4 angeordnet zum Anschluss der Enden der Spulenwicklungen und zum Anschluss des Bauelements an die Leiterbahnen einer nicht dargestellten Leiterplatte.At the outer edges of the guide elements 3.1 to 3.4 at the bottom of the bobbin 1 are each terminal lugs 6.1 to 6.4 arranged to connect the ends of the coil windings and for connecting the device to the tracks of a printed circuit board, not shown.

Der Wickelkörper 1 besteht aus Kunststoffmaterial und besitzt innerhalb seiner Außenflächen einen von Führungsflächen 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 begrenzten, im wesentlichen parallel zur Mittelebene verlaufenden, sich zur Oberseite des Wickelkörpers 1 hin öffnenden Aufnahmeraum 5, in den ein als flaches Bauteil ausgebildeter Ferritkern von oben eingesetzt werden kann. Dieses Einsetzen des Ferritkerns geschieht, bevor die drei Spulenwicklungen auf den Wickelkörper 1 aufgebracht werden.The bobbin 1 is made of plastic material and has within its outer surfaces of a guide surfaces 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 limited, substantially parallel to the median plane extending to the top of the bobbin 1 out opening receiving space 5, in which a trained as a flat component ferrite core inserted from above can be. This insertion of the Ferrite core happens before the three coil windings are applied to the former 1.

Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel besitzt der Aufnahmeraum 5 die Innenkontur eines regelmäßigen Achtecks. Dementsprechend besitzt der in ihn einzusetzende Ferritkern die Außenform eines regelmäßigen Achtecks. Der Ferritkern kann durch Verkleben im Aufnahmeraum fixiert sein.In the illustrated embodiment, the receiving space 5 has the inner contour of a regular octagon. Accordingly, the ferrite core to be inserted therein has the outer shape of a regular octagon. The ferrite core can be fixed by gluing in the receiving space.

Die Fig. 6 bis 11 zeigen eine Variante des Wickelkörpers nach Fig. 1 bis 5 im unbewickelten Zustand. Die wesentlichen Unterschiede bestehen in einer etwas anderen Ausgestaltung der Führungselemente für die dritte Spulenwicklung sowie der Anschlusselemente, an welche die Enden der Spulenwicklungen angeschlossen sind. In den Fig. 6 bis 11 sind die den Einzelheiten des Wickelkörpers nach Fig. 1 und 5 entsprechenden Teile mit den gleichen Bezugsziffern bezeichnet, die mit einem Apostrophstrich versehen sind. Eine ausführliche Beschreibung des Wickelkörpers nach Fig. 6 bis 11 erscheint nicht erforderlich.FIGS. 6 to 11 show a variant of the winding body according to FIGS. 1 to 5 in the unwound condition. The main differences consist in a slightly different embodiment of the guide elements for the third coil winding and the connection elements to which the ends of the coil windings are connected. In Figs. 6 to 11, the details of the bobbin of Fig. 1 and 5 corresponding parts are designated by the same reference numerals, which are provided with an apostrophe. A detailed description of the bobbin of Fig. 6 to 11 does not appear necessary.

Selbstverständlich sind auch Ausführungsformen möglich, bei denen sich der Aufnahmeraum zur Unterseite des Wickelkörpers oder zu einer der Schmalseiten hin öffnet. Im letzteren Fall wird der Ferritkern dann von einer der Schmalseiten her in den Aufnahmeraum eingeschoben.Of course, embodiments are possible in which the receiving space opens to the underside of the winding body or to one of the narrow sides. In the latter case, the ferrite core is then inserted from one of the narrow sides into the receiving space.

In den Fig. 12 bis 15 ist im bewickelten und unbewickelten Zustand eine zweite Ausführungsform eines Wickelkörpers dargestellt.FIGS. 12 to 15 show a second embodiment of a wound body in the wound and unwound state.

Der Wickelkörper 11 ist wiederum als flaches, im wesentlichen achteckiges Bauteil ausgebildet, auf den drei Spulenwicklungen derart aufgebracht sind, dass wiederum die Achsen dieser Spulenwicklungen 12X, 12Y, 12Z in die drei jeweils senkrecht zueinander ausgerichteten Raumrichtungen X, Y und Z weisen. Die Spulenwicklungen 12X, 12Y, 12Z sind in der gleichen Weise aufgebracht wie bei den oben beschriebenen Ausführungsformen.The winding body 11 is in turn formed as a flat, substantially octagonal component, are applied to the three coil windings, in turn, the axes of these coil windings 12X, 12Y, 12Z in the three mutually perpendicular spatial directions X, Y and Z point. The coil windings 12X, 12Y, 12Z are applied in the same manner as in the above-described embodiments.

In den vier Eckbereichen des Wickelkörpers 11 sind den Umfang des Wickelkörpers überragende, parallel zu einer Mittelebene des Wickelkörpers verlaufende und zu beiden Seiten des Windungsverlaufs der dritten Spulenwicklung 12Z liegende Führungselemente angeordnet, von denen die an der Unterseite des Wickelkörpers 11 liegenden Führungselemente 13.1 bis 13.4 in den Fig. 12 und 14 sichtbar sind, während von den an der Oberseite des Wickelkörpers 11 liegenden Führungselementen nur die Führungselemente 14.1 und 14.2 in den Fig. 13 und 15 sichtbar sind. Die Führungselemente an der Oberseite und an der Unterseite liegen wiederum derart einander gegenüber, dass sie Aufnahmetaschen bilden, in denen die Windungen der dritten Spulenwicklung 12Z verlaufen. Um Fortsätze der an der Unterseite angeordneten Führungselemente 13.2 und 13.4 sind jeweils die Enden von Spulenwicklungen herumgewickelt und dort verlötet, so dass Anschlusselemente 16.2 bzw. 16.4 gebildet werden zum Anschluss des Bauelements an die Leiterbahnen einer nicht dargestellten Leiterplatte.In the four corner regions of the winding body 11, the circumference of the winding body are projecting, parallel to a median plane of the winding body and on both sides of the Windungsverlaufs the third coil winding 12Z lying guide elements arranged, of which the lying on the underside of the bobbin 11 guide elements 13.1 to 13.4 in Figs. 12 and 14 are visible, while of the lying at the top of the bobbin 11 guide elements only the guide elements 14.1 and 14.2 in Figs. 13 and 15 are visible. The guide elements on the upper side and on the lower side, in turn, face each other in such a way that they form receiving pockets in which the turns of the third coil winding 12Z extend.
