Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water pump technology, and in particular to a coil assembly that is easy to assemble. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, coil assemblies, widely used in the stator of motor drives in drain pumps of electrical appliances such as washing machines, dishwashers, vegetable washers, bottle washers, foot baths, and massage bathtubs, generate a rotating magnetic field through energization, driving a permanent magnet rotor to rotate an impeller within the pump chamber. This causes water entering through the inlet to generate centrifugal force due to the high-speed rotation of the impeller, ultimately discharging pressurized water through the outlet hole on the pump cover and its connected drain pipe. This coil assembly is a critical component, therefore a thermal protector must be installed in its circuit for overheating trip protection. However, in the current assembly process of coil assemblies, the pins and contacts of the thermal protector are connected by solder, which is inconvenient and prone to problems such as incomplete soldering and cold solder joints. Excessive soldering time can also melt the coil frame's insertion holes, causing the contacts to shift after soldering, making it difficult to install in the mold during injection molding and potentially damaging the contacts. Utility Model Content

[0023] like Figure 1-8As shown, a preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a coil assembly that is easy to assemble, including a coil frame 1, a winding 2, a first insert 3, a second insert 4, a third insert 5, and a thermal protector 6. The first insert 3, the second insert 4, and the third insert 5 are fixed to one side of the coil frame 1 at intervals. In this embodiment, the first insert 3, the second insert 4, and the third insert 5 are arranged side by side. The first insert 3 and the second insert 4 are respectively used for connection to a power source. The bottom of the first insert 3 is provided with a first end 31. Generally, the first end 31 is integrally formed with the first insert 3. The second insert 4 is provided with a first fold 41. Generally, the second insert 4 and the first fold 41 are integrally formed. The third insert 5 is provided with a second fold 52. The bottom of the third insert 5 is provided with a second end 51. Generally, the third insert 5, the second fold 52, and the second end 5 are integrally formed with a power source. The foot 51 is integrally formed. In this embodiment, the first fold 41 is located on the side of the second insert 4 near the third insert 5, and the second fold 52 is located on the side of the third insert 5 near the second insert 4. There is a gap between the first fold 41 and the second fold 52. The top of the first fold 41 and the top of the second fold 52 are respectively provided with slots 7. The winding 2 is located on the coil frame 1. One end of the winding 2 is electrically connected to the first end foot 31, and the other end of the winding 2 is electrically connected to the second end foot 51. The thermal protector 6 is fixed on one side of the winding 2. The thermal protector 6 is provided with two pins 61. One pin 61 is engaged with the slot 7 of the second fold 52, and the other pin 61 is engaged with the slot 7 of the first fold 41, so that one pin 61 is electrically connected to the second fold 52, and the other pin 61 is electrically connected to the first fold 41.
[0024] The assembly process of this embodiment is as follows: First, fix the first insert 3, the second insert 4 and the third insert 5 to the side of the coil frame 1 respectively. Then, wind the winding 2 on the coil frame 1, and connect one end of the winding 2 to the first end 31 and the other end of the winding 2 to the second end 51. Then, engage one pin 61 of the thermal protector 6 with the slot 7 on the first flap 41, engage the other pin 61 of the thermal protector 6 with the slot 7 on the second flap 52, and fix the thermal protector 6 to the side of the winding 2, such as by adhesive.
[0025] In this embodiment, the pin 61 is fixedly connected to the first flap 41 or the second flap 52 by snapping the pin 61 into the slot 7. This simplifies assembly, eliminates the need for soldering, and reduces costs. One end of the winding 2 is electrically connected to the first pin 31, meaning the first insert 3 is electrically connected to one end of the winding 2. The other end of the winding 2 is electrically connected to the second pin 51, meaning the other end of the winding 2 is electrically connected to the third insert 5. One pin 61 of the thermal protector 6 is electrically connected to the second flap 52, meaning the third insert 5 is electrically connected to one pin 61 of the thermal protector 6. The other pin 61 of the thermal protector 6 is electrically connected to the first flap 41, meaning the other pin 61 of the thermal protector 6 is electrically connected to the second insert 4. This achieves series connection between the winding 2 and the thermal protector 6, ensuring that the thermal protector 6 can protect the winding 2.
[0026] For example, the bottom of the slot 7 and the side away from the coil frame 1 are both open, and the pin 61 is provided with a latch 611 on both sides that mates with the two sides of the slot 7, which can prevent the pin 61 from moving up or down and ensure the stability of the connection.
[0027] For example, the slot 7 has a flared guide opening 71 on the side away from the coil frame 1, which can serve as a guide to facilitate the insertion of the pin 61 into the slot 7.
[0028] For example, the side of the coil frame 1 is provided with a first slot 11, a second slot 12 and a third slot 13. The first insert 3 is interference-fitted with the first slot 11, the second insert 4 is interference-fitted with the second slot 12 and the third insert 5 is interference-fitted with the third slot 13. By inserting the first insert 3 into the first slot 11, the second insert 4 into the second slot 12 and the third insert 5 into the third slot 13, the first insert 3, the second insert 4 and the third insert 5 can be fixed on the coil frame 1, which is simple to assemble.
[0029] For example, the first end foot 31 has a first groove 311 on each of its opposite sides, and a first connecting portion 312 is formed between the two first grooves 311. The second end foot 51 has a second groove 511 on each of its two pairs of sides, and a second connecting portion 512 is formed between the two second grooves 511. One end of the winding 2 is wound around the first connecting portion 312. The first groove 311 helps to position and wind one end of the winding 2 around the first connecting portion 312, and also prevents one end of the winding 2 from separating from the first connecting portion 312 (from the bottom end of the first end foot 31). The other end of the winding 2 is wound around the second connecting portion 512. The second groove 511 helps to position and connect the other end of the winding 2 to the second connecting portion 512, and also prevents the other end of the winding 2 from separating from the second connecting portion 512.
[0030] For example, winding 2 consists of two coils connected in series, i.e., one end of one coil is connected to the first terminal 31, the other end of the coil is connected to one end of another coil, and the other end of the other coil is connected to the second terminal 51. Thermal protector 6 is fixed to the side of one of the coils.
[0031] For example, the coil assembly also includes a plastic encapsulation shell 8, which encapsulates the coil frame 1, winding 2, thermal protector 6, first insert 3, first end 31, second insert 4, first flap 41, third insert 5, second flap 52, and second end 51, thereby providing protection. The side of the first insert 3 away from the coil frame 1 and the side of the second insert 4 away from the coil frame 1 extend out of the plastic encapsulation shell 8, that is, the plastic encapsulation shell 8 partially encapsulates the first insert 3 and the second insert 4. The connection points of the first insert 3 and the second insert 4 with the coil frame 1 are encapsulated by the plastic encapsulation shell 8 to ensure the stability of their connection. The side of the first insert 3 away from the coil frame 1 and the side of the second insert 4 away from the coil frame 1 extending out of the plastic encapsulation shell 8 facilitates their connection to the power supply.
[0032] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and substitutions should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
