Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A coil device includes a core and a plurality of coils arranged in the core. A distance of a second gap formed by portions of the core located inside at least one of the coils is larger than that of a first gap formed by other portions of the core located between the coils next to each other.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A coil device comprising: a core; and a plurality of coils arranged in the core, wherein a distance of a second gap formed by portions of the core located inside at least one of the coils is larger than that of a first gap formed by other portions of the core located between the coils next to each other, the core includes an outer leg part formed between the coils next to each other and an inner leg part formed in at least one of the coils, the first gap is formed at the outer leg part, the second gap is formed at the inner leg part, the core includes a first core and a second core, the first core has at least one outer leg part and a plurality of inner leg parts, the second core has at least one outer leg part and a plurality of inner leg parts, the first gap is formed between the outer leg part of the first core and the outer leg part of the second core, and the second gap is formed between at least one of the inner leg parts of the first core and at least one of the inner leg parts of the second core. 2. The coil device according to claim 1 , wherein mountable parts connectable to an external circuit are formed on both ends of at least one of the coils. 3. The coil device according to claim 2 , wherein the mountable parts are partly exposed from a lateral surface of the core in its width direction. 4. The coil device according to claim 1 , wherein the core includes a top board covering tops of the plurality of coils. 5. The coil device according to claim 1 , wherein a width of at least one of the coils is larger than a length of at least one of the coils perpendicular to its height direction. 6. A coil device comprising: a core; and a plurality of coils arranged in the core, wherein a distance of a second gap formed by portions of the core located inside at least one of the coils is larger than that of a first gap formed by other portions of the core located between the coils next to each other, the first gap extends in a direction connecting the coils next to each other, the second gap extends in a direction connecting portions of an inner circumferential surface of at least one of the coils, the core includes an outer leg part formed between the coils next to each other and an inner leg part formed in at least one of the coils, the first gap is formed at the outer leg part, the second gap is formed at the inner leg part, the core includes a first core and a second core, the first core has at least one outer leg part and a plurality of inner leg parts, the second core has at least one outer leg part and a plurality of inner leg parts, the first gap is formed between the outer leg part of the first core and the outer leg part of the second core, and the second gap is formed between at least one of the inner leg parts of the first core and at least one of the inner leg parts of the second core. 7. The coil device according to claim 6 , wherein mountable parts connectable to an external circuit are formed on both ends of at least one of the coils. 8. The coil device according to claim 7 , wherein the mountable parts are partly exposed from a lateral surface of the core in its width direction. 9. The coil device according to claim 6 , wherein the core includes a top board covering tops of the plurality of coils. 10. The coil device according to claim 6 , wherein a width of at least one of the coils is larger than a length of at least one of the coils perpendicular to its height direction. 11. A coil device comprising: a core; and a plurality of coils arranged in the core, wherein a distance of a second gap formed by portions of the core located inside at least one of the coils is larger than that of a first gap formed by other portions of the core located between the coils next to each other, mountable parts connectable to an external circuit are formed on both ends of at least one of the coils, the core includes an outer leg part formed between the coils next to each other and an inner leg part formed in at least one of the coils, the core includes a first core and a second core, the first core has at least one outer leg part and a plurality of inner leg parts, the second core has at least one outer leg part and a plurality of inner leg parts, the first gap is formed between the outer leg part of the first core and the outer leg part of the second core, and the second gap is formed between at least one of the inner leg parts of the first core and at least one of the inner leg parts of the second core. 12. The coil device according to claim 11 , wherein the mountable parts are partly exposed from a lateral surface of the core in its width direction. 13. The coil device according to claim 11 , wherein the mountable parts are not exposed from a lateral surface of the core in its width direction. 14. The coil device according to claim 11 , wherein the mountable parts extend in an array direction of the plurality of coils. 15. The coil device according to claim 11 , wherein the mountable parts of either of the coils next to each other and the mountable parts of the other coil extend in substantially the same direction. 16. The coil device according to claim 11 , wherein the core includes a top board covering tops of the plurality of coils. 17. The coil device according to claim 11 , wherein a width of at least one of the coils is larger than a length of at least one of the coils perpendicular to its height direction.
