Abstract
A bobbin is provided, which includes a main body, a first block board, a second block board, and at least one guiding member. The main body extends along an axis. The first block board and the second block board circumferentially surround ends of the main body and radially extend from the main body, respectively. The guiding member is formed on the first block board or the second block board and comprises a dummy pin, radially extending from the first block board or the second block board.
Claims12
A bobbin, comprising:
- a main body, extending along an axis;
- a first block board and a second block board, circumferentially surrounding ends of the main body and radially extending from the main body, respectively;
- and
- at least one guiding member, formed on the first block board or the second block board and comprising a dummy pin, radially extending from the first block board or the second block board, wherein a notch is formed immediately adjacent to the dummy pin, and a lateral side of the dummy pin is connected to an inner wall of the notch,
- wherein a continuously curved surface extents from the lateral side of the dummy pin to the inner wall of the notch.
A method of winding an electronic coil on a bobbin, comprising steps of:
- providing a bobbin that comprises a guiding member, wherein the guiding member comprises a dummy pin and a notch formed immediately adjacent to the dummy pin, wherein a lateral side of the dummy pin is connected to an inner wall of the notch, and a continuously curved surface extends from the lateral side of the dummy pin to the inner wall of the notch;
- fixing the electronic coil to the dummy pin and guiding the electronic coil passing through the notch;
- winding a desired amount of turns of the electronic coil on the bobbin;
- and
- guiding the electronic coil to the outside of the bobbin.
A method of winding an electronic coil on a bobbin, comprising:
- providing a bobbin that comprises two guiding members, wherein each of the two guiding members comprises a dummy pin and a notch formed immediately adjacent to the dummy pin, wherein a lateral side of the dummy pin is connected to an inner wall of the notch, and a continuously curved surface extends from the lateral side of the dummy pin to the inner wall of the notch;
- fixing a first portion of the electronic coil to one of the dummy pins and guiding the electronic coil passing through the corresponding notch;
- winding a desired amount of turns of the electronic coil on the bobbin;
- and
- fixing a second portion of the electronic coil to another dummy pin and guiding the electronic coil passing through the corresponding notch.
