Description

本発明は、磁性体から成るコアを備えた磁気部品と、当該磁気部品を備えた電子装置に関し、特にコアを固定する構造に関する。   The present invention relates to a magnetic component having a core made of a magnetic material and an electronic device having the magnetic component, and more particularly to a structure for fixing the core.

たとえばDC−DCコンバータのような電子装置には、チョークコイルやトランスなどの磁気部品が備わっている。この磁気部品は、通電されることにより磁束を発生するコイルと、その磁束の磁路を形成する磁性体から成るコアとを有している。   For example, an electronic device such as a DC-DC converter includes magnetic components such as a choke coil and a transformer. The magnetic component has a coil that generates a magnetic flux when energized, and a core made of a magnetic material that forms a magnetic path of the magnetic flux.

コイルは、金属製の線材や板材、あるいはプリント基板に印刷により形成された配線パターンなどから構成され、電子装置の基板や電気配線などに電気的に接続される。コアは、フェライトなどの磁性材料で形成され、コイルの大部分を覆うように設けられる。また、コアは、電子装置の筐体などの支持部材により支持され、かつ該支持部材に固定される。   The coil is composed of a metal wire or plate, or a wiring pattern formed by printing on a printed board, and is electrically connected to a board or an electric wiring of an electronic device. The core is formed of a magnetic material such as ferrite and is provided so as to cover most of the coil. The core is supported by a supporting member such as a housing of the electronic device, and is fixed to the supporting member.

コイルへの通電時に、コイルやコアは発熱する。特に、大電流が流れるチョークコイルやトランスなどに備わるコイルやコアの発熱量は多くなる。その熱でコアの温度が限界温度を超えると、コアが磁性体として機能しなくなり、熱暴走と呼ばれる状態に陥って、磁気部品の性能が損なわれてしまう。   When power is supplied to the coil, the coil and the core generate heat. In particular, the amount of heat generated by coils and cores provided in choke coils and transformers through which a large current flows increases. If the temperature of the core exceeds the limit temperature due to the heat, the core will not function as a magnetic material, and will fall into a state called thermal runaway, and the performance of the magnetic component will be impaired.

また、たとえば車載用の電子装置では、外部から大きな振動や衝撃が磁気部品にかかる。その振動や衝撃でコアが位置ずれしたり外れたりすると、コアが磁性体として機能しなくなり、磁気部品の性能が損なわれてしまう。   For example, in a vehicle-mounted electronic device, a large vibration or impact is applied to the magnetic component from the outside. If the core is displaced or detached due to the vibration or impact, the core does not function as a magnetic body, and the performance of the magnetic component is impaired.

そこで、熱対策や振動・衝撃対策として、たとえば特許文献1では、コアと、コイルパターンが形成された基板とを、下方から放熱体から成る支持部材(筐体)で支持し、上方から片持ち梁状のばね部材(板ばね)でコアや基板を支持部材に押し付けて、これらを固定している。詳しくは、支持部材上におけるコアの側方に台座を複数立設し、そのうち高さの低い台座で基板を支持している。また、高さの高い台座上にばね部材の一端部を固定し、該板ばねの他端部で上方からコアの柱部や基板を支持部材や高さの低い台座に押し付けている。   Therefore, as a measure against heat and measures against vibration and shock, for example, in Patent Document 1, a core and a substrate on which a coil pattern is formed are supported from below by a support member (housing) formed of a heat radiator, and cantilevered from above. The core and the substrate are pressed against the support member by a beam-shaped spring member (leaf spring), and these are fixed. Specifically, a plurality of pedestals are erected on the side of the core on the support member, and the pedestal having a low height supports the substrate. In addition, one end of the spring member is fixed on a pedestal having a high height, and the other end of the leaf spring presses a column portion or a substrate of the core against a supporting member or a pedestal having a low height from above.

また、特許文献2では、両端支持梁状のばね性を有する固定金具(板ばね)により、各コアを上下1対のコアの突合せ面に介在された分離板に押し付けて、これらを固定している。詳しくは、上下方向から見て、各コアの長手幅方向に各コアを跨ぐように、上下2つの固定金具を設けている。そして、各固定金具の中央の湾曲部を上下方向から各コアに接触させ、固定金具の両端部を分離板に形成された貫通孔を貫通させて、貫通孔の縁に係合することにより、固定金具でコアの中央部を分離板に押し付けている。   Further, in Patent Document 2, each core is pressed against a separation plate interposed between abutment surfaces of a pair of upper and lower cores by a fixing bracket (leaf spring) having both ends supporting beam-like spring properties, and these are fixed. I have. More specifically, two upper and lower fixing brackets are provided so as to straddle each core in the longitudinal width direction of each core when viewed from above and below. Then, the center curved portion of each fixture is brought into contact with each core from above and below, and both ends of the fixture are made to penetrate through holes formed in the separation plate, and are engaged with the edges of the through holes. The central part of the core is pressed against the separation plate by the fixing bracket.

一方、特許文献3や特許文献4には、コイルやコイルが巻回された鉄心を、上方または下方からコイルばねにより支持する制振構造が開示されている。   On the other hand, Patent Literature 3 and Patent Literature 4 disclose a vibration damping structure in which a coil and an iron core around which the coil is wound are supported by a coil spring from above or below.

一般に、コアには、中実の柱部以外に、コイルの巻線を挿通させる挿通部(孔や凹部など)や、直流重畳特性を高めるためのセンターギャップのような空洞が設けられている。このため、コアを支持部材に固定するためのばね部材の押圧方向に空洞が存在していると、コアが押圧力により歪んだり割れたりするおそれがある。   Generally, in addition to a solid pillar portion, an insertion portion (a hole or a concave portion) through which a coil winding is inserted, and a cavity such as a center gap for improving DC superimposition characteristics are provided in the core. Therefore, if a cavity exists in the pressing direction of the spring member for fixing the core to the support member, the core may be distorted or cracked by the pressing force.

また、たとえば特許文献1のように、コアの側方に突出したコイルの突出部に対して、コアと反対側に台座を立設し、該台座上にばね部材の一端部を固定して、ばね部材の他端部でコアを支持部材に押し付ける場合、ばね部材の懸架方向、すなわちコアとコイルの突出部と台座とが並ぶ方向に、磁気部品が大型化してしまう。また、たとえば特許文献2のように、コアの長手幅方向にばね部材を懸架させて、コアの長手幅方向の側方でばね部材を固定する場合、該長手幅方向に磁気部品が大型化してしまう。そして、このように磁気部品が大型化すると、電子装置における磁気部品の占有スペースが大きくなり、磁気部品や他の部品の配置が難しくなったり、電子装置が大型化したりしてしまう。   Further, as in Patent Document 1, for example, a pedestal is erected on the side opposite to the core with respect to the projecting portion of the coil projecting to the side of the core, and one end of a spring member is fixed on the pedestal. When the core is pressed against the support member at the other end of the spring member, the size of the magnetic component increases in the direction in which the spring member is suspended, that is, in the direction in which the core, the projecting portion of the coil, and the pedestal are arranged. Further, when a spring member is suspended in the longitudinal width direction of the core and the spring member is fixed on the side in the longitudinal width direction of the core as in Patent Document 2, for example, the magnetic component becomes large in the longitudinal width direction. I will. When the size of the magnetic component increases, the space occupied by the magnetic component in the electronic device increases, so that the arrangement of the magnetic component and other components becomes difficult, and the size of the electronic device increases.

本発明は、コアを安定な状態で固定し、かつ磁気部品の大型化を抑制することを課題とする。   An object of the present invention is to fix a core in a stable state and suppress an increase in the size of a magnetic component.

本発明の磁気部品は、通電されることにより磁束を発生するコイルと、その磁束の磁路を形成する磁性体から成るコアと、コアを支持する支持部材に対して、コアを押し付けて固定する梁状のばね部材とを備えている。コアは、支持部材との接触面に対して垂直に設けられた柱部を有している。コイルは、柱部の高さ方向に対して垂直なコアの第1幅方向に対して、コアから突出せず、柱部の高さ方向と第1幅方向とに対して垂直なコアの第2幅方向に対して、コアから一部突出している。ばね部材は、支持部材に固定される固定部と、柱部に接触して、柱部を支持部材に押し付ける押圧部とを有している。固定部は、柱部の高さ方向に対して垂直でかつコアの第1幅方向と第2幅方向とに対して斜めとなる方向における、コアとコイルの近傍に配置されている。   The magnetic component of the present invention presses and fixes the core against a coil that generates a magnetic flux when energized, a core made of a magnetic material that forms a magnetic path of the magnetic flux, and a support member that supports the core. A beam-shaped spring member. The core has a pillar provided perpendicular to the contact surface with the support member. The coil does not protrude from the core with respect to the first width direction of the core perpendicular to the height direction of the pillar, and the coil does not project from the core in a direction perpendicular to the height direction of the pillar and the first width direction. Partially protrudes from the core in the two width directions. The spring member has a fixing portion fixed to the support member, and a pressing portion that contacts the column portion and presses the column portion against the support member. The fixing portion is arranged near the core and the coil in a direction perpendicular to the height direction of the pillar portion and oblique to the first width direction and the second width direction of the core.

また、本発明の電子装置は、上記磁気部品と上記支持部材とを備えている。   Further, an electronic device of the present invention includes the magnetic component and the support member.

このような磁気部品および電子装置によると、コアの柱部を梁状のばね部材の押圧部で支持部材に押し付けて、コアを支持部材に固定している。このため、ばね部材の押圧力によりコアが歪んだり割れたりせず、コアを支持部材に安定な状態で固定することができる。また、コイルがコアから突出しない第1幅方向とコイルの一部がコアから突出する第2幅方向とに対して斜めとなる方向におけるコアとコイルの近傍に、ばね部材の固定部を配置している。このため、磁気部品がコアの第1幅方向と第2幅方向に大型化するのを抑制することができる。そして、電子装置において、磁気部品の占有スペースを小さくすることができ、磁気部品や他の部品の配置が難しくなったり、電子装置が大型化したりすることも抑制することが可能となる。   According to such a magnetic component and the electronic device, the column of the core is pressed against the support member by the pressing portion of the beam-shaped spring member, and the core is fixed to the support member. Therefore, the core is not distorted or cracked by the pressing force of the spring member, and the core can be fixed to the support member in a stable state. Further, a fixing portion of the spring member is disposed near the core and the coil in a direction oblique to a first width direction in which the coil does not protrude from the core and a second width direction in which a part of the coil protrudes from the core. ing. For this reason, it is possible to suppress the magnetic component from increasing in size in the first width direction and the second width direction of the core. Further, in the electronic device, the space occupied by the magnetic components can be reduced, and it is possible to suppress the arrangement of the magnetic components and other components from becoming difficult and the electronic device from increasing in size.

本発明では、ばね部材の固定部は、支持部材における固定部と対応する位置に設けられた台座上に固定されていてもよい。   In the present invention, the fixing portion of the spring member may be fixed on a pedestal provided at a position corresponding to the fixing portion of the support member.

また、本発明において、コアは、柱部の高さ方向から見て矩形状に形成され、コアの第1幅方向の幅は、第2幅方向の幅より大きく、柱部は、第1幅方向の両端部でかつコイルの巻線が巻回された巻回部の外側に複数設けられ、ばね部材は、片持ち梁状の板ばねから成り、柱部に対応して複数設けられ、各ばね部材の固定部は、コイルの巻線部のコアからの突出部と第1幅方向に並び、かつ各柱部と第2幅方向に並ぶように配置されてもよい。   Further, in the present invention, the core is formed in a rectangular shape as viewed from the height direction of the pillar portion, the width of the core in the first width direction is larger than the width in the second width direction, and the pillar portion has the first width. A plurality of spring members are provided at both ends in the direction and outside the winding portion around which the coil winding is wound, and a plurality of spring members are provided corresponding to the pillar portions, each comprising a cantilever plate spring. The fixing portion of the spring member may be arranged so as to be aligned with the projecting portion of the winding portion of the coil from the core in the first width direction and to be aligned with each pillar portion in the second width direction.

また、本発明において、コアの柱部の高さ方向から見て、ばね部材の固定部におけるコアと反対側の端面または台座のコアと反対側の端面から、第1幅方向と平行な第1中心線での最大距離は、コイルの巻線部のコアからの突出部の端面から第1中心線までの最大距離に対して同じかまたは短くてもよい。   Further, in the present invention, when viewed from the height direction of the pillar portion of the core, the first parallel to the first width direction is formed from the end surface of the fixing portion of the spring member opposite to the core or the end surface of the pedestal opposite to the core. The maximum distance at the center line may be the same as or shorter than the maximum distance from the end face of the protrusion of the coil of the coil from the core to the first center line.

また、本発明において、コアの柱部の高さ方向から見て、ばね部材の固定部におけるコイルと反対側の端面または台座のコイルと反対側の端面から、第2幅方向と平行な第2中心線までの最大距離は、第1幅方向の端面から第2中心線までの最大距離に対して同じかまたは短くてもよい。   Further, in the present invention, when viewed from the height direction of the pillar portion of the core, a second parallel to the second width direction is formed from an end surface of the fixing portion of the spring member opposite to the coil or an end surface of the pedestal opposite to the coil. The maximum distance to the center line may be the same as or shorter than the maximum distance from the end face in the first width direction to the second center line.

また、本発明において、柱部は、コアの第1幅方向の両端部に1つずつ設けられ、ばね部材は、コアの中心に対して点対称に2つ設けられてもよい。   Further, in the present invention, one pillar portion may be provided at each end portion of the core in the first width direction, and two spring members may be provided point-symmetrically with respect to the center of the core.

さらに、本発明において、各ばね部材は、コアの柱部の高さ方向から見て、固定部が固定された位置から第2幅方向に延びて、第1幅方向と平行な第1中心線を越えた位置で、各柱部に押圧部が接触しており、押圧部の各押圧位置は、コアの中心に対して点対称に配置されていてもよい。   Further, in the present invention, each spring member extends in the second width direction from a position where the fixing portion is fixed, as viewed from the height direction of the pillar portion of the core, and has a first center line parallel to the first width direction. The pressing portion is in contact with each pillar at a position beyond the position, and each pressing position of the pressing portion may be arranged point-symmetrically with respect to the center of the core.

以下、本発明の実施形態につき、図面を参照しながら説明する。各図において、同一の部分または対応する部分には、同一符号を付してある。   Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the respective drawings, the same portions or corresponding portions are denoted by the same reference numerals.

図1は、実施形態の電子装置100の要部の平面図である。図2は、図1の磁気部品3の断面図(図1のA−A断面図)である。   FIG. 1 is a plan view of a main part of the electronic device 100 according to the embodiment. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the magnetic component 3 of FIG.

図1に示す電子装置100は、たとえば車載用のDC−DCコンバータであり、車両のエンジンの近傍に設置される。電子装置100の筐体1は、金属製または合成樹脂製の放熱体から成る。筐体1は、基板2と電子部品を保持している。その電子部品には、磁気部品3が含まれている。図1では、磁気部品3以外の電子部品の図示を省略している。   The electronic device 100 shown in FIG. 1 is, for example, an on-board DC-DC converter, and is installed near an engine of a vehicle. The housing 1 of the electronic device 100 is made of a heat radiator made of metal or synthetic resin. The housing 1 holds a substrate 2 and electronic components. The electronic component includes a magnetic component 3. In FIG. 1, illustration of electronic components other than the magnetic component 3 is omitted.

基板2はプリント基板から構成されている。基板2は、筐体1上の所定位置にねじ9により固定されている。図示を省略しているが、基板2には、複数の電子部品が実装され、電気回路が形成されている。   The board 2 is composed of a printed board. The board 2 is fixed to a predetermined position on the housing 1 by screws 9. Although not shown, a plurality of electronic components are mounted on the substrate 2 to form an electric circuit.

磁気部品3は、たとえばチョークコイルから構成されている。磁気部品3のコイル4は、金属板を板金加工することにより形成されたエッジワイズコイルから構成され、通電されることにより磁束を発生する。コイル4に大電流を安定に流すため、コイル4の巻線(平角線)の断面積は広くなっている。   The magnetic component 3 is composed of, for example, a choke coil. The coil 4 of the magnetic component 3 is composed of an edgewise coil formed by sheet metal working a metal plate, and generates a magnetic flux when energized. In order to allow a large current to flow through the coil 4 stably, the cross-sectional area of the coil (rectangular wire) of the coil 4 is wide.

コイル4の両端部には、コイル4に電流を流すための端子部4bが設けられている。各端子部4bは、コア5a、5b(図2)の一側方へ引き出されて、電気配線10(図1)の一端に電気的に接続されている。電気配線10の他端は、基板2に電気的に接続されている。つまり、コイル4は、基板2に対して電気的に接続されている。   At both ends of the coil 4, terminal portions 4 b for supplying a current to the coil 4 are provided. Each terminal portion 4b is drawn out to one side of the cores 5a, 5b (FIG. 2), and is electrically connected to one end of the electric wiring 10 (FIG. 1).

Ferrite is a magnetic material having the property (fragility) of being distorted or cracked when a strong force is applied. The cores 5a and 5b form a magnetic path of the magnetic flux generated by the coil 4.

The lower core 5b disposed on the lower side has a base 5d and three convex portions 5h, 5i, and 5j projecting upward from the base 5d.

各コア5a、5bの基部5c、5dは、上下方向Zから見て、矩形状に形成されている(図1参照)。各コア5a、5bのX方向の幅は、Y方向の幅より大きくなっている。以下、X方向を長手幅方向といい、Y方向を短手幅方向という。長手幅方向Xは、本発明の「第1幅方向」の一例であり、短手幅方向Yは、本発明の「第2幅方向」の一例である。   The bases 5c and 5d of the cores 5a and 5b are formed in a rectangular shape when viewed from the vertical direction Z (see FIG. 1). The width in the X direction of each core 5a, 5b is larger than the width in the Y direction. Hereinafter, the X direction is referred to as a longitudinal width direction, and the Y direction is referred to as a lateral width direction. The longitudinal width direction X is an example of the “first width direction” of the present invention, and the short width direction Y is an example of the “second width direction” of the present invention.

図2に示すように、上コア5aの凸部5e、5f、5gは、長手幅方向Xに一列に並んでいる。下コア5bの凸部5h、5i、5jも、長手幅方向Xに一列に並んでいる。各コア5a、5bの中央にある凸部5f、5iに対して、左右にある凸部5e、5g、5h、5jの方が、基部5c、5dからの突出量が多くなっている。   As shown in FIG. 2, the protrusions 5e, 5f, 5g of the upper core 5a are arranged in a line in the longitudinal width direction X. The protrusions 5h, 5i, 5j of the lower core 5b are also arranged in a line in the longitudinal width direction X. The protrusions 5e, 5g, 5h, 5j on the left and right have larger protrusions from the bases 5c, 5d than the protrusions 5f, 5i at the center of the cores 5a, 5b.

上コア5aの左右の凸部5e、5gの先端面(下端面)と、下コア5bの左右の凸部5h、5jの先端面(上端面)とをそれぞれ密着させて、コア5a、5bは組み合わされている。そして、コア5a、5bの長手幅方向Xの両端部には、凸部5e、5hと基部5c、5dの一端部から成る柱部5Lと、凸部5g、5jと基部5c、5dの他端部から成る柱部5rとが形成されている。上コア5aの凸部5fと下コア5bの凸部5iとは、所定の大きさの隙間5qをおいて対向している。この隙間5qは、センターギャップと呼ばれている。   The tip surfaces (lower end surfaces) of the left and right convex portions 5e and 5g of the upper core 5a and the tip surfaces (upper end surfaces) of the left and right convex portions 5h and 5j of the lower core 5b are brought into close contact with each other. Are combined. At both ends of the cores 5a and 5b in the longitudinal width direction X, pillars 5L each including one of the protrusions 5e and 5h and one end of the bases 5c and 5d, and the other ends of the protrusions 5g and 5j and the bases 5c and 5d. And a pillar portion 5r. The protrusion 5f of the upper core 5a and the protrusion 5i of the lower core 5b face each other with a gap 5q having a predetermined size. This gap 5q is called a center gap.

中央の凸部5f、5iは、コイル4の巻線が巻回された巻回部4aの内側に配置されている。両側の凸部5e、5g、5h、5jと柱部5L、5rは、コイル4の巻回部4aの外側に配置されている。つまり、コイル4の巻線は、コア5a、5bの各柱部5L、5rと中央の凸部5f、5iとの間に形成された孔状の挿通部5sに挿通されて、凸部5f、5iの周囲に巻回されている。これにより、コイル4に大電流を流したときに、所定のインダクタンスが実現され、該インダクタンスの直流重畳特性がセンターギャップ5qにより高められる。   The central convex portions 5f and 5i are arranged inside the winding portion 4a around which the winding of the coil 4 is wound. The protrusions 5e, 5g, 5h, 5j and the pillars 5L, 5r on both sides are arranged outside the winding part 4a of the coil 4. That is, the winding of the coil 4 is inserted into the hole-shaped insertion portion 5s formed between each of the pillars 5L and 5r of the cores 5a and 5b and the central protrusions 5f and 5i, and the protrusions 5f and It is wound around 5i. Thus, when a large current flows through the coil 4, a predetermined inductance is realized, and the DC superposition characteristic of the inductance is enhanced by the center gap 5q.

図1に示すように、コア5a、5bは、筐体1上の所定位置に配置され、コイル4の巻回部4aの大部分を覆っている。詳しくは、コア5a、5bの柱部5L、5rの高さ方向Z(図2)に対して垂直なコア5a、5bの幅方向X、Y(図1)のうち、長手幅方向Xに対して、コイル4はコア5a、5bから突出せず、短手幅方向Yに対して、コイル4の端子部4bと巻回部4aの一部がコア5a、5bから突出している。   As shown in FIG. 1, the cores 5a and 5b are arranged at predetermined positions on the housing 1 and cover most of the winding portion 4a of the coil 4. Specifically, of the width directions X and Y (FIG. 1) of the cores 5a and 5b perpendicular to the height direction Z (FIG. 2) of the pillar portions 5L and 5r of the cores 5a and 5b, Thus, the coil 4 does not protrude from the cores 5a and 5b, and the terminal 4b and a part of the winding portion 4a of the coil 4 protrude from the cores 5a and 5b in the short width direction Y.

筐体1は、図2に示すように、下コア5bを下方から支持している。下コア5bと筐体1との接触面Tには、熱伝導性と絶縁性を有するグリスやシートなどを介在させてもよい。   As shown in FIG. 2, the housing 1 supports the lower core 5b from below. Grease or sheet having thermal conductivity and insulation may be interposed on the contact surface T between the lower core 5b and the housing 1.

コア5a、5bは、上方からばね部材6(図1)により押さえ付けられて、筐体1に固定されている。ばね部材6は、板金加工により片持ち梁状に形成された金属製の板ばねから成る。筐体1は、本発明の「支持部材」の一例である。   The cores 5a and 5b are pressed from above by a spring member 6 (FIG. 1) and fixed to the housing 1. The spring member 6 is a metal leaf spring formed in a cantilever shape by sheet metal processing. The housing 1 is an example of the “support member” of the present invention.

図7および図8は、従来の磁気部品3’を示した図である。詳しくは、図7は、磁気部品3’の平面図であり、図8は、磁気部品3’の断面図(図7のD−D断面図)である。従来の磁気部品3’と図1および図2に示した本実施形態の磁気部品3とでは、ばね部材6の押圧構造が異なっていて、それ以外の部分は同一である。   7 and 8 are views showing a conventional magnetic component 3 '. Specifically, FIG. 7 is a plan view of the magnetic component 3 ′, and FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view of the magnetic component 3 ′ (a cross-sectional view taken along line DD in FIG. 7). The pressing structure of the spring member 6 is different between the conventional magnetic component 3 'and the magnetic component 3 of the present embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, and the other parts are the same.

図7に示すように、従来の磁気部品3’のコア5a、5bの長手幅方向Xの両側方には、台座1d’が立設されている。各台座1d’は、図8に示すように、コア5a、5bの柱部5L、5rの高さ方向Zに突出するように、筐体1上に一体的に設けられている。各台座1d’は、コア5a、5bに対して所定の間隔で離間している。   As shown in FIG. 7, pedestals 1d 'are erected on both sides in the longitudinal width direction X of the cores 5a and 5b of the conventional magnetic component 3'. As shown in FIG. 8, each pedestal 1d 'is integrally provided on the housing 1 so as to protrude in the height direction Z of the pillars 5L, 5r of the cores 5a, 5b. Each pedestal 1d 'is separated from the cores 5a and 5b at a predetermined interval.

ばね部材6は、台座1d’とコア5a、5bの柱部5L、5rとに跨るように、2つ設けられている。各ばね部材6の一端に設けられた固定部6aは、各台座1d’上にねじ8により固定されている。各ばね部材6の他端側には、略V字状に屈曲された押圧部6bが設けられている。   Two spring members 6 are provided so as to straddle the pedestal 1d 'and the pillars 5L, 5r of the cores 5a, 5b. A fixing portion 6a provided at one end of each spring member 6 is fixed on each pedestal 1d 'by a screw 8. On the other end side of each spring member 6, a pressing portion 6b bent in a substantially V shape is provided.

各ばね部材6は、固定部6aが固定された台座1d’上の位置から、コア5a、5bの長手幅方向Xに延び、各柱部5L、5r上に押圧部6bを接触させて、押圧部6bで各柱部5L、5rを筐体1に押し付けている。各ばね部材6の押圧部6bによる各柱部5L、5rの押圧位置P’は、図7に示すように、コア5a、5bの長手幅方向Xと平行な第1中心線Qx上に配置されている。   Each spring member 6 extends in the longitudinal width direction X of the cores 5a, 5b from the position on the pedestal 1d 'to which the fixing portion 6a is fixed, and makes the pressing portion 6b contact each of the column portions 5L, 5r to press. Each column 5L, 5r is pressed against the housing 1 by the portion 6b. As shown in FIG. 7, the pressing positions P ′ of the respective columns 5L, 5r by the pressing portions 6b of the respective spring members 6 are arranged on a first center line Qx parallel to the longitudinal width direction X of the cores 5a, 5b. ing.

上記従来の磁気部品3’では、コア5a、5bの中実の柱部5L、5rをばね部材6で筐体1に押し付けていて、然もばね部材6による柱部5L、5rの押圧位置P’がコア5a、5bの第1中心線Qx上に位置している。このため、ばね部材6の押圧力によりコア5a、5bが歪んだり割れたりせず、コア5a、5bを安定な状態で筐体1に固定することができる。しかし、コア5a、5bの長手幅方向Xの両側方に台座1d’を設けて、ばね部材6をコア5a、5bに対して長手幅方向Xに懸架させているので、磁気部品3’が長手幅方向Xに大型化してしまう。そして、このように磁気部品3’が大型化すると、電子装置の筐体1上における磁気部品3’の占有スペースが大きくなり、磁気部品3’や他の部品の配置が難しくなり、電子装置も大型化してしまう。   In the above-mentioned conventional magnetic component 3 ', the solid pillars 5L, 5r of the cores 5a, 5b are pressed against the housing 1 by the spring member 6, and the pressing positions P of the pillars 5L, 5r by the spring member 6 are naturally. Is located on the first center line Qx of the cores 5a and 5b. Therefore, the cores 5a and 5b are not distorted or cracked by the pressing force of the spring member 6, and the cores 5a and 5b can be fixed to the housing 1 in a stable state. However, the pedestals 1d 'are provided on both sides of the cores 5a and 5b in the longitudinal width direction X, and the spring members 6 are suspended in the longitudinal width direction X with respect to the cores 5a and 5b. It becomes large in the width direction X. When the size of the magnetic component 3 ′ increases, the space occupied by the magnetic component 3 ′ on the housing 1 of the electronic device increases, and the arrangement of the magnetic component 3 ′ and other components becomes difficult. It becomes large.

図3および図4は、本実施形態(図1および図2と同様)の磁気部品3を示した図である。詳しくは、図3は、磁気部品3の平面図であり、図4は、磁気部品3の側面図(図3のB矢視図)である。   FIGS. 3 and 4 are views showing the magnetic component 3 of the present embodiment (similar to FIGS. 1 and 2). Specifically, FIG. 3 is a plan view of the magnetic component 3 and FIG. 4 is a side view of the magnetic component 3 (a view taken in the direction of arrow B in FIG. 3).

図3に示すように、磁気部品3では、コア5a、5bの上方から見て、2つのばね部材6の固定部6aが、柱部5L、5rの高さ方向Z(図2)に対して垂直でかつコア5a、5bの長手幅方向Xと短手幅方向Yとに対して斜めとなる方向Vにおける、コア5a、5bとコイル4の巻回部4aの近傍にそれぞれ配置されている。   As shown in FIG. 3, in the magnetic component 3, when viewed from above the cores 5 a and 5 b, the fixing portions 6 a of the two spring members 6 move in the height direction Z (FIG. 2) of the columns 5 L and 5 r. They are arranged near the cores 5a, 5b and the winding part 4a of the coil 4 in a direction V which is perpendicular and oblique to the longitudinal width direction X and the lateral width direction Y of the cores 5a, 5b.

また、各ばね部材6の固定部6aは、コイル4の巻回部4aのコア5a、5bからの突出部4tと長手幅方向Xに並び、かつコア5a、5bの各柱部5L、5rと短手幅方向Yに並ぶように配置されている。   Further, the fixed portion 6a of each spring member 6 is arranged in the longitudinal width direction X with the protruding portion 4t of the winding portion 4a of the coil 4 from the core 5a, 5b, and the column portion 5L, 5r of the core 5a, 5b. They are arranged so as to be arranged in the short width direction Y.

筐体1上における、各ばね部材6の固定部6aに対応する位置には、台座1dがそれぞれ設けられている。各台座1dは、図4に示すように、コア5a、5bの柱部5L、5rの高さ方向Zに突出するように、筐体1上に一体的に設けられている。各台座1dは、コア5a、5bとコイル4とに対して、それぞれ所定の間隔で離間している。   On the housing 1, pedestals 1d are provided at positions corresponding to the fixing portions 6a of the spring members 6, respectively. As shown in FIG. 4, each pedestal 1d is integrally provided on the housing 1 so as to protrude in the height direction Z of the pillars 5L and 5r of the cores 5a and 5b. Each pedestal 1d is separated from the cores 5a and 5b and the coil 4 at a predetermined interval.

各ばね部材6の固定部6aは、各台座1d上にねじ8により固定されている。他の例として、ばね部材6と台座1dとは金属製であるため、たとえば溶接により、ばね部材6の固定部6aを台座1d上に固定してもよい。また、その他の固定手段により、ばね部材6の固定部6aを台座1d上に固定してもよい。   The fixing portion 6a of each spring member 6 is fixed on each pedestal 1d by a screw 8. As another example, since the spring member 6 and the pedestal 1d are made of metal, the fixing portion 6a of the spring member 6 may be fixed on the pedestal 1d by, for example, welding. Further, the fixing portion 6a of the spring member 6 may be fixed on the base 1d by other fixing means.

図3に示すように、上方から見て、各ばね部材6の固定部6aにおけるコア5a、5bと反対側の端面6aや、各台座1dのコア5a、5bと反対側の端面1dから、コア5a、5bの長手幅方向Xと平行な第1中心線Qxまでの最大距離L1、L2は、コイル4の巻回部4aの突出部4tの端面4tから第1中心線Qxまでの最大距離L3に対して短くなっているか、または同じになっている。 As shown in FIG. 3, when viewed from above, the end surface 6a 1 of the fixing portion 6a of each spring member 6 opposite to the core 5a, 5b or the end surface 1d 1 of each pedestal 1d opposite to the core 5a, 5b. , the maximum distance L1, L2 of the core 5a, until the first center line Qx parallel to the longitudinal width direction X of the 5b are from the end face 4t 1 of the projecting portion 4t of the winding portion 4a of the coil 4 to the first center line Qx It is shorter or equal to the maximum distance L3.

また、各ばね部材6の固定部6aにおけるコイル4と反対側の端面6aや、各台座1dのコイル4と反対側の端面1dから、コア5a、5bの短手幅方向Yと平行な第2中心線Qyまでの最大距離L4、L5は、コア5a、5bの長手幅方向Xの各端面5L、5rから第2中心線Qyまでの最大距離L6に対して短くなっているか、または同じになっている。 The fixed portion opposite and end face 6a 2 of the coil 4 in 6a of the spring 6, the coil 4 and the opposite end face 1d 2 of each pedestal 1d, parallel to the shorter width direction Y of the core 5a, 5b maximum distance L4, L5 until the second center line Qy is the core 5a, or has become shorter than the maximum distance L6 from the end surfaces 5L 2, 5r 2 in the longitudinal width direction X of 5b to the second center line Qy, Or are the same.

各ばね部材6は、コア5a、5bの中心Q(中心線Qx、Qyの交点)に対して点対称に2つ設けられている。詳しくは、各ばね部材6は、固定部6aが固定された台座1d上の位置から、コア5a、5bの短手幅方向Yに延び、コア5a、5bの第1中心線Qxを越えて、各柱部5L、5r上に押圧部6bを接触させ、押圧部6bで各柱部5L、5rを筐体1に押し付けている。各ばね部材6の押圧部6bによる各柱部5L、5rの押圧位置Pは、コア5a、5bの中心Qに対して点対称に配置されている。   Two spring members 6 are provided point-symmetrically with respect to the center Q of the cores 5a and 5b (the intersection of the center lines Qx and Qy). Specifically, each spring member 6 extends in the short width direction Y of the cores 5a and 5b from a position on the pedestal 1d to which the fixing portion 6a is fixed, and crosses the first center line Qx of the cores 5a and 5b. The pressing portion 6b is brought into contact with each of the column portions 5L and 5r, and each of the column portions 5L and 5r is pressed against the housing 1 by the pressing portion 6b. The pressing positions P of the columns 5L, 5r by the pressing portions 6b of the spring members 6 are arranged point-symmetrically with respect to the center Q of the cores 5a, 5b.

上記実施形態の磁気部品3によると、コア5a、5bの中実の柱部5L、5rを片持ち梁状のばね部材6で筐体1に押し付けて、コア5a、5bを筐体1に固定している。柱部5L、5rには空洞が存在しないため、ばね部材6の押圧力によりコア5a、5bが歪んだり割れたりせず、コア5a、5bを筐体1に安定な状態で固定することができる。   According to the magnetic component 3 of the above embodiment, the solid pillars 5L, 5r of the cores 5a, 5b are pressed against the housing 1 by the cantilever spring member 6, and the cores 5a, 5b are fixed to the housing 1. are doing. Since there is no cavity in the pillar portions 5L, 5r, the cores 5a, 5b are not distorted or cracked by the pressing force of the spring member 6, and the cores 5a, 5b can be fixed to the housing 1 in a stable state. .

また、コイル4がコア5a、5bから突出しない長手幅方向Xとコイル4の一部がコア5a、5bから突出する短手幅方向Yとに対して斜めとなる方向Vにおける、コア5a、5bとコイル4の近傍に、ばね部材6の固定部6aを配置している。このため、従来と同一のばね部材6を用いても、磁気部品3が長手幅方向Xと短手幅方向Yに大型化するのを抑制することができる。そして、電子装置100の筐体1上において、磁気部品3の占有スペースを小さくすることができ、磁気部品3や他の部品の配置が難しくなったり、電子装置100が大型化したりすることも抑制することが可能となる。   The cores 5a, 5b in a direction V in which the coil 4 does not project from the cores 5a, 5b in a longitudinal width direction X and a short width direction Y in which a part of the coil 4 projects from the cores 5a, 5b. The fixed part 6 a of the spring member 6 is arranged near the coil 4. For this reason, even if the same spring member 6 as that of the related art is used, it is possible to suppress the magnetic component 3 from being enlarged in the longitudinal width direction X and the lateral width direction Y. In addition, the space occupied by the magnetic component 3 on the housing 1 of the electronic device 100 can be reduced, and the arrangement of the magnetic component 3 and other components becomes difficult, and the electronic device 100 is prevented from becoming large. It is possible to do.

また、上記実施形態では、上方から見て、ばね部材6の固定部6aに対応する位置に台座1dを設けて、台座1d上に固定部6aを固定しているので、電子装置100における筐体1の台座1dを含む磁気部品3の設置スペースを小さくして、電子装置100を小型化することができる。   In the above embodiment, the pedestal 1d is provided at a position corresponding to the fixing portion 6a of the spring member 6 when viewed from above, and the fixing portion 6a is fixed on the pedestal 1d. The installation space for the magnetic component 3 including the one pedestal 1d can be reduced, and the size of the electronic device 100 can be reduced.

また、上記実施形態では、コア5a、5bの長手幅方向Xの両端部に設けられた複数の柱部5L、5rを、複数のばね部材6で筐体1に押し付けているので、コア5a、5bをより安定な状態で筐体1に固定することができる。また、各ばね部材6の固定部6aを、コイル4の突出部4tと長手幅方向Xに並び、かつ各柱部5L、5rと短手幅方向Yに並ぶように配置している。このため、磁気部品3が長手幅方向Xと短手幅方向Yに大型化するのをより抑制することができる。   In the above embodiment, the plurality of pillars 5L, 5r provided at both ends of the cores 5a, 5b in the longitudinal width direction X are pressed against the housing 1 by the plurality of spring members 6, so that the cores 5a, 5b 5b can be fixed to the housing 1 in a more stable state. The fixing portions 6a of the spring members 6 are arranged so as to be aligned with the protruding portions 4t of the coil 4 in the longitudinal width direction X and to be aligned with the column portions 5L and 5r in the short width direction Y. For this reason, it is possible to further suppress the magnetic component 3 from being enlarged in the longitudinal width direction X and the lateral width direction Y.

また、上記実施形態では、コア5a、5bの短手幅方向Yに対して、台座1dやばね部材6の固定部6aを、コイル4の突出部4tの端面4tと同じか、またはそれよりコア5a、5bの第1中心線Qxに近い位置に配置している。このため、磁気部品3の短手幅方向Yの幅Wy(図3)を、従来の磁気部品3’の短手幅方向Yの幅Wy’(図7)と同程度に抑えて、磁気部品3が短手幅方向Yに大型化するのを抑制することができる。 In the above embodiment, the core 5a, the short widthwise direction Y of 5b, the fixing portion 6a of the base 1d and spring 6, or equal to the end surface 4t 1 of the projecting portion 4t of the coil 4, or than The cores 5a and 5b are arranged at positions near the first center line Qx. For this reason, the width Wy (FIG. 3) of the magnetic component 3 in the short width direction Y is suppressed to substantially the same as the width Wy ′ of the conventional magnetic component 3 ′ in the short width direction Y (FIG. 7). 3 can be suppressed from becoming large in the short width direction Y.

また、上記実施形態では、コア5a、5bの長手幅方向Xに対して、台座1dやばね部材6の固定部6aを、コア5a、5bの長手幅方向Xの端面5L、5rと同じか、またはそれよりコア5a、5bの第2中心線Qyに近い位置に配置している。このため、磁気部品3の長手幅方向Xの幅Wx(図3)を、従来の磁気部品3’の長手幅方向Xの幅Wx’(図7)より小さく抑えて、磁気部品3が長手幅方向Xに大型化するのを抑制することができる。 In the above embodiment, the core 5a, relative to the longitudinal width direction X of 5b, the fixing portion 6a of the base 1d and the spring member 6, the core 5a, the end surface 5L 2 in the longitudinal width direction X of 5b, the same as 5r 2 Or at a position closer to the second center line Qy of the cores 5a and 5b. Therefore, the width Wx (FIG. 3) of the magnetic component 3 in the longitudinal width direction X is suppressed to be smaller than the width Wx ′ (FIG. 7) of the conventional magnetic component 3 ′ in the longitudinal width direction. Enlargement in the direction X can be suppressed.

また、上記実施形態では、ばね部材6と台座1dとをコア5a、5bの中心Qに対して点対称に2つずつ設け、各ばね部材6の固定部6aを各台座1d上に固定し、各ばね部材6の押圧部6bでコア5a、5bの柱部5L、5rをそれぞれ押圧している。このため、ばね部材6の数を少なくしながら、コア5a、5bを安定な状態で筐体1に固定することができる。   In the above embodiment, two spring members 6 and two pedestals 1d are provided point-symmetrically with respect to the center Q of the cores 5a and 5b, and the fixing portions 6a of the respective spring members 6 are fixed on the respective pedestals 1d. The pressing portions 6b of the spring members 6 press the column portions 5L, 5r of the cores 5a, 5b, respectively. Therefore, the cores 5a and 5b can be fixed to the housing 1 in a stable state while the number of the spring members 6 is reduced.

また、ばね部材6のばね長が短いと、ばね部材6がコア5a、5bを押圧する荷重が大きくなって、コア5a、5bが歪んだり割れたりし易くなる。然るに、上記実施形態では、各ばね部材6が、固定部6aの固定された台座1d上の位置から、短手幅方向Yに伸びて、第1中心線Qxを越え、各柱部5L、5r上に押圧部6bを接触させて、押圧部6bで柱部5L、5rを筐体1に押し付けている。このため、ばね部材6のばね長を長くして、ばね部材6でコア5a、5bを押圧する荷重を適度な大きさに設定し易くなり、コア5a、5bが歪んだり割れたりするのを防止することができる。   When the spring length of the spring member 6 is short, the load of the spring member 6 pressing the cores 5a and 5b increases, and the cores 5a and 5b are easily distorted or cracked. However, in the above-described embodiment, each spring member 6 extends in the short width direction Y from the position on the pedestal 1d to which the fixing portion 6a is fixed, crosses the first center line Qx, and has the respective column portions 5L, 5r. The pressing portion 6b is brought into contact with the upper portion, and the column portions 5L and 5r are pressed against the housing 1 by the pressing portion 6b. For this reason, the spring length of the spring member 6 is increased, and the load for pressing the cores 5a and 5b by the spring member 6 can be easily set to an appropriate size, thereby preventing the cores 5a and 5b from being distorted or cracked. can do.

また、複数のばね部材6によるコア5a、5bの押圧位置が、コア5a、5bの第1中心線Qx上からずれると、コア5a、5bが筐体1に対して不安定な状態で固定されるおそれがある。然るに、上記実施形態では、複数のばね部材6によるコア5a、5bの押圧位置Pを、コア5a、5bの第1中心線Qx上からずらしつつ、コア5a、5bの中心Qに対して点対称に配置しているので、コア5a、5bを筐体1に安定な状態で固定することができる。   When the pressing positions of the cores 5a and 5b by the plurality of spring members 6 deviate from the first center line Qx of the cores 5a and 5b, the cores 5a and 5b are fixed to the housing 1 in an unstable state. May be present. However, in the above-described embodiment, the pressing positions P of the cores 5a and 5b by the plurality of spring members 6 are point-symmetric with respect to the center Q of the cores 5a and 5b while being shifted from the first center line Qx of the cores 5a and 5b. The cores 5a and 5b can be fixed to the housing 1 in a stable state.

本発明は、上述した以外にも種々の実施形態を採用することができる。たとえば、以上の実施形態では、台座1dやばね部材6の固定部6aを、短手幅方向Yに対してコイル4の突出部4tの端面4tと同じかまたはそれより第1中心線Qxに近い位置に配置し、かつ長手幅方向Xに対してコア5a、5bの端面5L、5rと同じかまたはそれより第2中心線Qyに近い位置に配置した例を示した。然るに、本発明はこれらのみに限定するものではなく、台座1dやばね部材6の固定部6aをコア5a、5bの幅方向X、Yに対して、コイル4の突出部4tの端面4tより第1中心線Qxと反対側に若干突出するように配置したり、コア5a、5bの端面5L、5rより第2中心線Qyと反対側に若干突出するように配置したりしてもよい。さらに、ばね部材6の押圧部6bの押圧位置Pを、第1中心線Qx上に配置したり、第1中心線Qxより台座1d側に配置したりしてもよい。 The present invention can adopt various embodiments other than those described above. For example, in the above embodiment, the fixed portion 6a of the base 1d and the spring member 6, the same as the end surface 4t 1 of the projecting portion 4t of the coil 4 against the short width direction Y or above the first center line Qx placed in close and shows an example in which located closer to the core 5a, 5b of the end face 5L 2, 5r 2 and equal to or more second center line Qy to the longitudinal width direction X. However, the present invention is not limited only to, the fixed portion 6a of the core 5a of the base 1d and the spring member 6, the width direction X of 5b, relative to Y, the end face 4t 1 of the projecting portion 4t of the coil 4 Even if it is arranged so as to slightly protrude to the side opposite to the first center line Qx, or to protrude slightly from the end faces 5L 2 and 5r 2 of the cores 5a and 5b to the side opposite to the second center line Qy. Good. Further, the pressing position P of the pressing portion 6b of the spring member 6 may be arranged on the first center line Qx, or may be arranged on the pedestal 1d side from the first center line Qx.

また、以上の記実施形態では、ばね部材6として片持ち梁状の板ばねを用い、該ばね部材6の一端側に設けた固定部6aを、筐体1に立設した台座1d上に固定した例を示したが、本発明はこれのみに限定するものではない。片持ち梁状のばね部材6に代えて、たとえば図5および図6に示す他の実施形態のように、両端支持梁状のばね部材7を用いて、該ばね部材7の両端に設けた固定部7aを筐体1の上面に固定してもよい。図5は、磁気部品3の平面図であり、図6は、磁気部品3の側面図(図5のC矢視図)である。   In the above embodiment, a cantilever plate spring is used as the spring member 6, and the fixing portion 6 a provided at one end of the spring member 6 is fixed on the pedestal 1 d erected on the housing 1. However, the present invention is not limited to this example. Instead of the cantilever-shaped spring member 6, for example, as shown in other embodiments shown in FIGS.
