Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、内燃機関の点火に必要な高電圧を発生させるための樹脂封入型点火コイルに関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
樹脂封入型点火コイルの従来技術の一例として、特開平2−33907号公報に開示された技術が知られている。この技術に開示されているように、樹脂封入型点火コイルは、1次コイルが巻回された1次スプール、2次コイルが巻回された2次スプール、鉄心、コイルケース、内部で絶縁を確保する硬化樹脂など、種々の部品より構成されており、1次コイルが電流のON−OFF制御を受けると、2次コイルが高電圧を発生するものである。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
樹脂封入型に限らず、点火コイルは、内燃機関の作動中温度が上昇し、作動が停止すると環境温度に冷やされる。つまり、点火コイルは、温度の上昇と下降によって伸縮する。樹脂封入型点火コイルは、上述のように、1次スプール、2次スプール、鉄心、コイルケース、硬化樹脂などの部品より構成されており、各構成部品の熱伸縮率の違いから、伸縮を繰り返すうちに、構成部品の一部(特に、絶縁用の硬化樹脂)に割れが発生し、絶縁が遮断され、樹脂封入型点火コイル内において電気的なリークが発生する可能性がある。
【0004】
【発明の目的】
本発明は、上記の事情に鑑みてなされたもので、その目的は、温度の上昇と下降を受け、構成部品が伸縮して例え割れが発生しても、電気的なリークが発生することのない信頼性の高い樹脂封入型点火コイルの提供にある。
【0005】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記の目的を達成するために、本発明の樹脂封入型点火コイルは、次の技術的手段を採用した。
〔請求項1の手段〕
樹脂封入型点火コイルは、温度の上昇と下降によって伸縮する。その際、2次スプールも軸方向に伸縮する。2次スプールが軸方向に伸縮すると、2次スプールの高圧側に固着した2次ターミナルも軸方向に変位する。この2次ターミナルの変位時(特に、2次スプールが冷えて収縮し、2次ターミナルが低圧側へ変位する時)に、2次ターミナルを覆う硬化樹脂が、2次ターミナルの端から周囲に向けて割れる可能性がある。
そこで、請求項1を採用し、2次スプールの高圧側に2次ターミナルの外周を囲む筒体を設けたことにより、例え、2次ターミナルの端から周囲に向けて硬化樹脂が割れても、その割れが筒体の内面で止まる。つまり、2次ターミナルの端から周囲に向けて硬化樹脂が割れても、2次ターミナルに印加された高電圧は、1次コイル側など、他の部位にリークしない。このため、樹脂封入型点火コイルの信頼性を高めることができる。
【0006】
〔請求項2の手段〕
請求項2を採用し、2次ターミナルの外周側に、低圧側に向けて曲げられた曲折部を設けたことにより、2次ターミナルの外周端が、筒体の開口端から離れる。このため、例え、2次ターミナルの端から周囲に向けて硬化樹脂が割れても、その割れを筒体の内面で確実に止めることができ、樹脂封入型点火コイルの信頼性をさらに高めることができる。
【0007】
〔請求項3、請求項4の手段〕
請求項3あるいは請求項4を採用し、外周コアの電界が最も高いコアスリットと、紮げ部とを、対向しないように設けたため、対向する場合に比較してコアスリットと紮げ部との距離が長くなる。つまり、硬化樹脂によるコアスリットと紮げ部との絶縁距離が長くなるため、例え硬化樹脂に割れが発生しても、その割れがコアスリットと紮げ部とを繋ぐ可能性は低い。このように、コアスリットと紮げ部とが割れによってリークする可能性が極めて低く抑えられるため、樹脂封入型点火コイルの信頼性を高めることができる。
【0008】
【発明の実施の形態】
次に、本発明の実施の形態を、実施例および変形例を用いて説明する。
〔実施例〕
この実施例を図1ないし図3を用いて説明する。図1は樹脂封入型点火コイルの組付図である。
樹脂封入型点火コイル1は、大別してワインディングアッシー2と、これを収納するケースアッシー3と、組付けられたワインディングアッシー2とケースアッシー3との間に封入されるエポキシ樹脂(硬化樹脂に相当する、図示しない)とからなる。
【0009】
ワインディングアッシー2は、1次コイル4が巻き付けられた筒状樹脂製の1次スプール5と、この1次スプール5の内側に同軸的に嵌め合わされ、2次コイル6が巻き付けられた筒状樹脂製の2次スプール7と、この2次スプール7の低圧側に組付けられた樹脂製のコネクタ8とからなる。
1次コイル4は、巻き始めが2次コイル6の巻き終わりとともにコネクタ8内のプラス端子に接続され、巻き終わりがコネクタ8内のマイナス端子に接続されている。
【0010】
2次スプール7の高圧側には、図2の(b)に示すように、径方向に突出する紮げ部7aが一体的に設けられており、その紮げ部7aには2次コイル6の巻回時、その巻き始め側の巻線が紮げられる。なお、紮げ部7aに紮げられた巻き始めの巻線は、2次スプール7の高圧側の端に金属製の2次ターミナル10を固着させた後に、図2の(a)に示す2次ターミナル10の巻回片10aに接続される。
この2次ターミナル10の中央に、後述する高圧端子15の突起15aが差し込まれる係止孔10bが設けられており、この係止孔10bには差し込まれた突起15aに食い込む4つの食込片10cが形成されている。
【0011】
2次スプール7の高圧側には、図2の(b)に示すように、2次ターミナル10の外周を袋状に囲む筒体7bが設けられている。なお、この実施例の筒体7bを2次スプール7と一体に設けたが、別体で設けてから2次スプール7の高圧側に取り付けても良い。
筒体7bに囲まれる2次ターミナル10の外周側は、図2の(b)に示すように、曲折部10dによって低圧側に向けて曲げられている。本実施例の曲折部10dは、曲折部10dからエポキシ樹脂の割れが誘発されないように、断面曲線が得られるように緩やかな略皿状に設けられている。
【0012】
ケースアッシー3は、1次スプール5を内側に同軸的に嵌め込む筒状のコイルケース11と、高圧側に固着された絶縁用高圧タワー12と、低圧側に固着された内燃機関への固定用部材13とを備え、それぞれは樹脂によって形成されている。
ケースアッシー3は、上記各樹脂部材の他に、筒状のコイルケース11の内周面に嵌め込まれた外周コア14と、絶縁用高圧タワー12の内部に固着されたスパークプラグ接続用の高圧端子15とを備える。外周コア14は、軸方向に沿うコアスリット14aを備える断面略C字形の金属板で、例えば数枚が重なって組付けらている。
【0013】
外周コア14のコアスリット14aは、上述した紮げ部7aと同一方向に向かないように、例えば90°ずれて組付けられている。この組付けのために、本実施例では、コイルケース11に対してコアスリット14aを所定方向に向けるコア位置決め部11aと、コイルケース11に対して紮げ部7aを所定方向に向いて組付ける2次スプール位置決め手段が用いられている。
【0014】
コア位置決め部11aを説明する。コイルケース11の内面には、図3に示すように、コアスリット14aと嵌まり合って外周コア14の位置決めを行う突起状のコア位置決め部11aが設けられている。これにより、コイルケース11内に外周コア14を組付けることで、コイルケース11に対してコアスリット14aが所定方向に向けられる。なお、このコア位置決め部11aは、コイルケース11の内面の軸方向に沿って設けられても良いし、コイルケース11の内面の一部に突出するように設けられても良い。
【0015】
2次スプール位置決め手段を説明する。ワインディングアッシー2のコネクタ8には、2次スプール7の低圧側の端に設けられた2つの係止片7cが嵌め込まれる組付孔8aが設けられている。この組付孔8a内に係止片7cを嵌め込むことにより、ワインディングアッシー2に対して紮げ部7aが所定方向に向けられる。また、ケースアッシー3の固定用部材13には、コネクタ8の向きを規制する位置決め凹部13aが設けられており、コネクタ8を位置決め凹部13aに嵌め込むことで、コイルケース11に対して紮げ部7aを所定方向に向けて組付けることができ、結果的にコアスリット14aと紮げ部7aとがそれぞれ異なった方向に向けて組付けられる。
【0016】
次に、本発明にかかる樹脂封入形点火コイル1の作動を説明する。
内燃機関に組付けられ、高圧端子15がスパークプラグに接続された樹脂封入型点火コイル1は、内燃機関の運転時、点火コイル自身の作動熱および内燃機関の伝達熱によって温度が上昇する。運転が停止すると常温に冷やされる。このように、樹脂封入型点火コイル1は、温度の上昇と下降が繰り返されるとともに、温度の上昇と下降に伴って伸縮する。
【0017】
その際、2次スプール7も軸方向に伸縮する。2次スプール7が軸方向に伸縮すると、2次スプール7の高圧側に固着した2次ターミナル10も軸方向に変位する。特に、2次スプール7が冷えて収縮し、2次ターミナル10が低圧側へ変位する時に、2次ターミナル10を覆うエポキシ樹脂が、2次ターミナル10の端から周囲に向けて割れる場合がある。2次ターミナル10の端から周囲に向けてエポキシ樹脂が割れても、2次ターミナル10の周囲は筒体7bで囲まれているため、エポキシ樹脂の割れは筒体7bの内面で止まる。
【0018】
また、曲折部10dによって2次ターミナル10の外周側が低圧側に向けて曲げられているため、2次ターミナル10の外周端が、筒体7bの開口端から離れている。このため、例え、2次ターミナル10の端から周囲に向けてエポキシ樹脂が割れても、その割れが筒体7bの外部に延びる確率が小さい。
【0019】
一方、樹脂封入型点火コイル1が温度の上昇と下降に伴って伸縮する際、特に収縮時に、内部に封入されたエポキシ樹脂が割れる場合がある。本実施例の樹脂封入型点火コイル1は、外周コア14の電界が最も高いコアスリット14aと、紮げ部7aとが、対向しないように90°ずらして組付けられているため、コアスリット14aと紮げ部7aとが同一方向に向く場合に比較して、コアスリット14aと紮げ部7aとの距離が長い。つまり、エポキシ樹脂によるコアスリット14aと紮げ部7aとの絶縁距離が長いため、エポキシ樹脂に割れが発生しても、その割れがコアスリット14aと紮げ部7aとを繋ぐ可能性は低い。
【0020】
本実施例の効果を説明する。
2次スプール7の軸方向の伸縮により、2次ターミナル10の端から外側に向けてエポキシ樹脂が割れても、その割れは筒体7bの内面で止まる。また、曲折部10dによって2次ターミナル10の外周端が筒体7bの開口端から離れているため、2次ターミナル10の端から外側に向けてエポキシ樹脂が割れても、その割れが筒体7bの外部に延びる確率が小さい。このため、本実施例の樹脂封入型点火コイル1は、2次ターミナル10に印加された高電圧が、1次コイル4など、他の部位にリークする確率が極めて小さく、高い信頼性を得ることができる。
【0021】
また、樹脂封入型点火コイル1の伸縮により、内部に封入されたエポキシ樹脂が割れても、外周コア14の電界が最も高いコアスリット14aと紮げ部7aとが、90°ずらして組付けられているため、エポキシ樹脂の割れがコアスリット14aと紮げ部7aとを繋ぐ可能性が極めて小さい。つまり、本実施例の樹脂封入型点火コイル1は、外周コア14の電界が最も高いコアスリット14aと、高電圧が印加される紮げ部7aとが、リークする可能性が極めて小さく、高い信頼性を得ることができる。
【0022】
〔変形例〕
上記の実施例では、1次コイル4の内側に2次コイル6を配置した例を示したが、逆に2次コイル6の内側に1次コイル4を配置しても良い。
上記の実施例では、1次コイル4および2次コイル6の外側に鉄心(外周コア14)を配置した例を示したが、1次コイル4および2次コイル6の内側に鉄心を配置しても良い。
上記の実施例では、2次コイル6の軸心上に高圧端子15を配置した例を示したが、2次コイル6の軸心から高圧端子15をずらして設けても良い。
【0023】
上記の実施例では、2次ターミナル10の周囲を筒体7bで覆う例を示したが、2次ターミナル10の周囲を筒体7bで覆わなくても良い。つまり、請求項1を採用せず、請求項4を採用するように設けても良い。
上記の実施例では、2次ターミナル10に曲折部10dを設けて外周側を低圧側へ曲げた例を示したが、2次ターミナル10を平に設けても良い。つまり、請求項2を採用しないように設けても良い。
【0024】
上記の実施例では、コアスリット14aと紮げ部7aとを90°ずらして組付けた例を示したが、180°や120°など他の角度にずらして組付けても良い。また、コアスリット14aと紮げ部7aとを同一方向に向けて組付けても良い。つまり、請求項3〜5を採用しないように設けても良い。
上記の実施例では、位置決め手段によってコアスリット14aと紮げ部7aとを確実に所定角度にずらす例を示したが、位置決め手段を用いず、組付時に作業者がコアスリット14aと紮げ部7aとが同一方向に向かないように組付けても良い。つまり、請求項5を採用しないように設けても良い。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a resin-enclosed ignition coil for generating a high voltage necessary for ignition of an internal combustion engine.
[0002]
[Prior art]
As an example of a prior art of a resin-encapsulated ignition coil, a technique disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2-333907 is known. As disclosed in this technology, a resin-encapsulated ignition coil has a primary spool wound with a primary coil, a secondary spool wound with a secondary coil, an iron core, a coil case, and insulation inside. It is composed of various parts such as a cured resin to be secured, and when the primary coil is subjected to current ON-OFF control, the secondary coil generates a high voltage.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The ignition coil is not limited to the resin-encapsulated type, and the temperature during operation of the internal combustion engine rises, and when the operation stops, the ignition coil is cooled to the environmental temperature. That is, the ignition coil expands and contracts as the temperature rises and falls. As described above, the resin-encapsulated ignition coil is composed of parts such as a primary spool, a secondary spool, an iron core, a coil case, and a cured resin, and is repeatedly expanded and contracted due to a difference in thermal expansion / contraction rate of each component. In the meantime, a part of the component parts (particularly, a cured resin for insulation) is cracked, the insulation is interrupted, and electrical leakage may occur in the resin-encapsulated ignition coil.
[0004]
OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is that an electrical leak occurs even if a component is expanded and contracted due to temperature rise and fall and cracking occurs. There is no reliable resin-encapsulated ignition coil.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, the following technical means is adopted for the resin-encapsulated ignition coil of the present invention.
[Means of Claim 1]
The resin-encapsulated ignition coil expands and contracts as the temperature rises and falls. At that time, the secondary spool also expands and contracts in the axial direction. When the secondary spool expands and contracts in the axial direction, the secondary terminal fixed to the high pressure side of the secondary spool is also displaced in the axial direction. When the secondary terminal is displaced (especially when the secondary spool cools and contracts and the secondary terminal is displaced to the low pressure side), the cured resin covering the secondary terminal is directed from the end of the secondary terminal to the periphery. There is a possibility of breaking.
Therefore, by adopting claim 1 and providing a cylinder surrounding the outer periphery of the secondary terminal on the high pressure side of the secondary spool, for example, even if the cured resin cracks from the end of the secondary terminal toward the periphery, The crack stops at the inner surface of the cylinder. That is, even if the cured resin is cracked from the end of the secondary terminal toward the periphery, the high voltage applied to the secondary terminal does not leak to other parts such as the primary coil side. For this reason, the reliability of the resin-encapsulated ignition coil can be improved.
[0006]
[Means of claim 2]
By adopting claim 2 and providing a bent portion bent toward the low pressure side on the outer peripheral side of the secondary terminal, the outer peripheral end of the secondary terminal is separated from the opening end of the cylindrical body. For this reason, even if the cured resin cracks from the end of the secondary terminal toward the periphery, the crack can be reliably stopped at the inner surface of the cylindrical body, and the reliability of the resin-encapsulated ignition coil can be further improved. it can.
[0007]
[Means of Claims 3 and 4]
Since the core slit having the highest electric field of the outer peripheral core and the bald part are provided so as not to oppose each other, the core slit and the bald part are compared with the case where they are opposed to each other. The distance gets longer. That is, since the insulation distance between the core slit and the bald portion by the cured resin becomes long, even if a crack occurs in the cured resin, the possibility that the crack connects the core slit and the bald portion is low. Thus, since the possibility that the core slit and the bald portion leak due to cracking is suppressed to a very low level, the reliability of the resin-encapsulated ignition coil can be increased.
[0008]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described using examples and modifications.
〔Example〕
This embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is an assembly view of a resin-enclosed ignition coil.
The resin-encapsulated ignition coil 1 is roughly divided into a winding assembly 2, a case assembly 3 that accommodates the winding assembly 2, and an epoxy resin (corresponding to a cured resin) that is enclosed between the assembled winding assembly 2 and the case assembly 3. , Not shown).
[0009]
The winding assembly 2 is formed of a cylindrical resin primary spool 5 around which the primary coil 4 is wound, and a cylindrical resin made of a cylindrical resin around which the secondary coil 6 is wound coaxially. The secondary spool 7 and a resin connector 8 assembled on the low pressure side of the secondary spool 7.
The primary coil 4 is connected to the plus terminal in the connector 8 at the beginning of winding together with the winding end of the secondary coil 6, and is connected to the minus terminal in the connector 8 at the end of winding.
[0010]
As shown in FIG. 2B, a bald portion 7a protruding in the radial direction is integrally provided on the high pressure side of the secondary spool 7, and the secondary coil 6 is provided in the bald portion 7a. When winding, the winding on the winding start side is bald. Note that the winding at the beginning of the winding that has been bended by the bald portion 7a has a metal secondary terminal 10 fixed to the end of the secondary spool 7 on the high-pressure side, and then 2 shown in FIG. It is connected to the wound piece 10 a of the next terminal 10.
A locking hole 10b into which a projection 15a of a high-voltage terminal 15 described later is inserted is provided at the center of the secondary terminal 10, and four biting pieces 10c that bite into the protrusion 15a inserted into the locking hole 10b. Is formed.
[0011]
On the high pressure side of the secondary spool 7, as shown in FIG. 2B, a cylindrical body 7 b that surrounds the outer periphery of the secondary terminal 10 in a bag shape is provided. Although the cylindrical body 7b of this embodiment is provided integrally with the secondary spool 7, it may be attached to the high pressure side of the secondary spool 7 after being provided separately.
As shown in FIG. 2B, the outer peripheral side of the secondary terminal 10 surrounded by the cylindrical body 7b is bent toward the low pressure side by a bent portion 10d. The bent portion 10d of the present embodiment is provided in a gentle substantially dish shape so as to obtain a cross-sectional curve so that the epoxy resin is not cracked from the bent portion 10d.
[0012]
The case assembly 3 is a cylindrical coil case 11 into which the primary spool 5 is coaxially fitted, an insulating high-pressure tower 12 fixed to the high-pressure side, and an internal combustion engine fixed to the low-pressure side. Each of the members 13 is formed of resin.
In addition to the above resin members, the case assembly 3 includes an outer peripheral core 14 fitted on the inner peripheral surface of a cylindrical coil case 11 and a spark plug connecting high voltage terminal fixed inside the insulating high voltage tower 12. 15. The outer peripheral core 14 is a metal plate having a substantially C-shaped cross section provided with a core slit 14a along the axial direction.
[0013]
The core slit 14a of the outer peripheral core 14 is assembled so as to be shifted by 90 °, for example, so as not to face the same direction as the bald portion 7a described above. For this assembly, in this embodiment, the core positioning portion 11a for directing the core slit 14a in a predetermined direction with respect to the coil case 11 and the bald portion 7a for the coil case 11 in the predetermined direction are assembled. Secondary spool positioning means is used.
[0014]
The core positioning part 11a will be described. As shown in FIG. 3, a protruding core positioning portion 11 a that fits the core slit 14 a and positions the outer core 14 is provided on the inner surface of the coil case 11. Thereby, by assembling the outer peripheral core 14 in the coil case 11, the core slit 14 a is directed in a predetermined direction with respect to the coil case 11. The core positioning portion 11 a may be provided along the axial direction of the inner surface of the coil case 11 or may be provided so as to protrude from a part of the inner surface of the coil case 11.
[0015]
The secondary spool positioning means will be described. The connector 8 of the winding assembly 2 is provided with an assembly hole 8a into which two locking pieces 7c provided at the low-pressure end of the secondary spool 7 are fitted. By fitting the locking piece 7c into the assembly hole 8a, the bald portion 7a is directed in a predetermined direction with respect to the winding assembly 2. Further, the fixing member 13 of the case assembly 3 is provided with a positioning recess 13a for restricting the orientation of the connector 8. By fitting the connector 8 into the positioning recess 13a, a bald portion with respect to the coil case 11 is provided. 7a can be assembled in a predetermined direction. As a result, the core slit 14a and the bald portion 7a are assembled in different directions.
[0016]
Next, the operation of the resin-enclosed ignition coil 1 according to the present invention will be described.
The temperature of the resin-encapsulated ignition coil 1 assembled in the internal combustion engine and having the high-voltage terminal 15 connected to the spark plug is increased by the operation heat of the ignition coil itself and the transmitted heat of the internal combustion engine during operation of the internal combustion engine. When the operation stops, it is cooled to room temperature. As described above, the resin-encapsulated ignition coil 1 is repeatedly increased and decreased in temperature and expanded and contracted as the temperature increases and decreases.
[0017]
At that time, the secondary spool 7 also expands and contracts in the axial direction. When the secondary spool 7 expands and contracts in the axial direction, the secondary terminal 10 fixed to the high pressure side of the secondary spool 7 is also displaced in the axial direction. In particular, when the secondary spool 7 is cooled and contracts and the secondary terminal 10 is displaced to the low pressure side, the epoxy resin covering the secondary terminal 10 may break from the end of the secondary terminal 10 toward the periphery. Even if the epoxy resin cracks from the end of the secondary terminal 10 toward the periphery, the periphery of the secondary terminal 10 is surrounded by the cylinder 7b, so that the crack of the epoxy resin stops at the inner surface of the cylinder 7b.
[0018]
Further, since the outer peripheral side of the secondary terminal 10 is bent toward the low pressure side by the bent portion 10d, the outer peripheral end of the secondary terminal 10 is separated from the opening end of the cylindrical body 7b. For this reason, even if the epoxy resin is cracked from the end of the secondary terminal 10 toward the periphery, the probability that the crack extends to the outside of the cylindrical body 7b is small.
[0019]
On the other hand, when the resin-encapsulated ignition coil 1 expands and contracts as the temperature rises and falls, the epoxy resin sealed inside may break, particularly when contracting. In the resin-encapsulated ignition coil 1 of the present embodiment, the core slit 14a having the highest electric field of the outer peripheral core 14 and the bald portion 7a are assembled so as to be shifted by 90 ° so as not to face each other. The distance between the core slit 14a and the bald portion 7a is longer than when the bald portion 7a faces in the same direction. That is, since the insulation distance between the core slit 14a and the bald portion 7a by the epoxy resin is long, even if a crack occurs in the epoxy resin, the possibility that the crack connects the core slit 14a and the bald portion 7a is low.
[0020]
The effect of the present embodiment will be described.
Even if the epoxy resin cracks from the end of the secondary terminal 10 to the outside due to the expansion and contraction of the secondary spool 7 in the axial direction, the cracking stops at the inner surface of the cylindrical body 7b. Further, since the outer peripheral end of the secondary terminal 10 is separated from the opening end of the cylindrical body 7b by the bent portion 10d, even if the epoxy resin is cracked from the end of the secondary terminal 10 to the outside, the crack is not removed. The probability of extending outside is small. For this reason, the resin-encapsulated ignition coil 1 of this embodiment has a very low probability that the high voltage applied to the secondary terminal 10 leaks to other parts such as the primary coil 4 and obtains high reliability. Can do.
[0021]
Moreover, even if the epoxy resin sealed inside is cracked by expansion / contraction of the resin-encapsulated ignition coil 1, the core slit 14a having the highest electric field of the outer peripheral core 14 and the bald portion 7a are assembled with a 90 ° shift. Therefore, the possibility that the crack of the epoxy resin connects the core slit 14a and the bald portion 7a is extremely small.
