US 2010/0164666 A1 · Structure and manufacturing process of a coil

Abstract

A coil includes a coil individual, and a shell part; the coil individual includes a helical coil, which is made by winding a tiny metallic wire, and includes a helical body, and two end wire portions; the coil individual further includes a flexible print circuit, which has electricity-conducting layers on two sides of a middle thereof; the helical coil is positioned on the flexible print circuit, with the two end wire portions thereof and the electricity-conducting layers being joined together to form the frames of the coil individual; the coil individual is wrapped in the shell part with the frames thereof sticking out from the shell part; the frames are bent so as to be closely in touch with an outer side of the shell part.

5 more elements

A manufacturing process of a coil, comprising following steps:

(a) a winding step:
tiny metallic wires are wound into helical coils by means of a coil winding machine;
the helical coils each have two end wire portions;
(b) a coating step:
a flexible print circuit (FPC) is prepared, which is formed with electricity-conducting layers on two sides of a middle thereof by means of a coating method;
(c) a cutting step:
the flexible print circuit is cut so as to have plural continuous flexible print circuits, which each have a middle supporting portion, and electricity-conducting layers on two sides of the middle supporting portion as to match one said helical coil;
(d) a soldering step:
the helical coils are joined on said plural flexible print circuits respectively to form plural coil individuals, with middle helical parts of the helical coils being propped on the middle supporting portions, and with the end wire portions of each of the coils being propped on corresponding said electricity-conducting layers;
next, the end wire portions of the helical coils and the electricity-conducting layers of said plural flexible print circuits are soldered together so as to form frames of said plural coil individuals;
next, a cutting step is carried out to separate the coil individuals from each other;
(e) a wrapping step:
the coil individuals are each wrapped in a shell part, with the frames thereof sticking out from the shell parts;
and
(f) a bending step for the frames:
we bend those portions of the frames of the coil individuals that are outside the shell parts.
