Abstract

A charging configuration for the inductive wireless energy transfer to a receiver coil of an electrically operated vehicle. A first circularly wound electrically conductive coil extends in a plane and has a first central opening in the center of the first coil. A second circularly wound electrically conductive coil extends in a plane, coplanar with the first coil, and has a second central opening formed in its center. A ferrite core is supported on a shielding sheet with a rectangular base plate together with the coplanar coils. The coils are arranged in a coil holder on the shielding sheet such that a distance of between 15 and 25 mm remains between the shielding sheet and the bottom edge of the coils.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A charging configuration for inductive wireless transfer of energy to a receiving coil of an electrically operated vehicle, the charging configuration comprising:
a first circularly wound electrically conductive coil extending in a given plane and having a first central opening formed in a center of said first coil;
a second circularly wound electrically conductive coil extending in a given plane and having a second central opening formed in a center of said second coil;
said first and second coil having a bottom edge and being disposed in a coplanar relationship;
a ferrite core being U-shaped and having a first leg extending into said first central opening of said first coil and a second leg extending into said second central opening of said second coil, said second leg disposed opposite said first leg;
a shielding sheet with a rectangular base plate supporting said ferrite core and said coplanar coils thereon; and
a coil holder configured to hold said first and second coils on said shielding sheet to maintain a distance of between 15 and 25 mm between said shielding sheet and said bottom edge of said coils.

2. The charging configuration according to claim 1 , wherein the distance is between 18 mm and 22 mm.

3. The charging configuration according to claim 1 , wherein said ferrite core is configured as a planar plate running underneath said coils, said plate has a thickness of between 10 and 20 mm, and a first and second leg portion are connected to said plate.

4. The charging configuration according to claim 3 , comprising a base plate arranged beneath said plate of said ferrite core, said base plate having a thickness of between 5 mm and 15 mm.

5. The charging configuration according to claim 4 , wherein the thickness of said base plate lies between 6 mm and 10 mm.

6. The charging configuration according to claim 1 , which comprises a controllable power supply connected to said first and second coils so as to cause a direction of a current in said second coil to be opposite a direction of a current in said first coil.

7. The charging configuration according to claim 1 , wherein said first and second coils are equal in size.

8. The charging configuration according to claim 1 , wherein said first and second coils are substantially rectangular.

9. A charging system, comprising:
a charging configuration according to claim 1 ; and
a receiver coil of an electrically operated vehicle, said receiver coil having a secondary ferrite core with a length dimension and a width dimension amounting to between 30% and 70% of a length dimension and a width dimension respectively of said plate of said ferrite core.
