Abstract

The present invention facilitates positioning of contact surfaces of a resin case, core gap management, and assembling processing. A resin case 1 can house at least one magnetic core selected from a U-shaped magnetic core, a UU-shaped magnetic core, a UR-shaped magnetic core, and an I-shaped magnetic core. The resin case 1 is used for an inductance element in which a coil is arranged around the magnetic core so as to house the magnetic core. The resin case is an assembly of a plurality of divided members with the same shape. A recess and a projection A 1 , A 2 mutually fitted complementary to each other are formed on end surfaces of the divided members contacted with each other.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An inductance element resin case used for an inductance element provided with a coil around a magnetic core and configured to house the magnetic core, the inductance element resin case is an assembly of four members, said inductance element resin case being divided in a thickness direction of the magnetic core and in an axial direction of the coil, each of the members being U-shaped,
wherein at least two of the members are formed mutually in the same shape and
wherein there are a recess and a projection at leg parts of the U-shaped members, and
wherein in the inductance element resin case, two first members and two second members are each superimposed so that the projections of one of said two first members and the recesses of one of said two second members are arranged adjacent to each other in the thickness direction of the magnetic core, and said two first members as superimposed and said two second members as superimposed are combined so that the recess and the projection are fitted with each other in the axial direction of the coil.

2. The inductance element resin case according to claim 1 , wherein each of the members has the leg part having an end surface at which the recess is formed and the leg part having an end surface at which the projection is formed, wherein the end surfaces of any one of the members contact the end surfaces of another one of the members.

3. The inductance element resin case according to claim 1 , wherein a shape in which the recess and the projection complementary to each other are to be mutually fitted is served to prevent drop-off after the fitting.

4. The inductance element resin case according to claim 1 configured to house at least one magnetic core selected from a U-shaped magnetic core, a UU-shaped magnetic core, and a UR-shaped magnetic core.

5. The inductance element resin case according to claim 1 , further comprising an opening part of the inductance element resin case formed at an end surface in an axial direction of the coil arranged in the inductance element resin case, and a drop-off prevention part for the magnetic core housed in the inductance element resin case.

6. The inductance element resin case according to claim 1 , further comprising a shoulder part for positioning of the coil at a periphery of the inductance element resin case.

7. The inductance element resin case according to claim 1 , further comprising a through hole or a recess part at a portion of the inductance element resin case where the magnetic core is not contacted.

8. An inductance element comprising:
a magnetic core housed in a resin case; and
a coil arranged around the magnetic core,
wherein the resin case is formed as the inductance element resin case according to claim 1 .
