Abstract

A reception pad for a wireless power transfer (WPT) system includes: a plate-shaped ferrite; an insulating layer disposed on one side of the ferrite; a first coil layer disposed on the insulating layer; an interlayer insulating layer disposed on the first coil layer; and a second coil layer disposed on the interlayer insulating layer. The insulating layer at least partially surrounds the first coil layer and the second coil layer, the first coil layer and the second coil layer at least partially overlap each other and are arranged in a rectangular ring form on the one side of the ferrite, and a ratio of a width which is larger between a first width of the first coil layer and a second width of the second coil layer to a first length of the ferrite in a width direction corresponding to the first width or the second width is 0.14 to 0.15.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A reception pad for a wireless power transfer (WPT) system, the reception pad comprising:
a plate-shaped ferrite; an insulating layer disposed on one side of the ferrite;
a first coil layer disposed on the insulating layer;
an interlayer insulating layer disposed on the first coil layer; and
a second coil layer disposed on the interlayer insulating layer, wherein
the insulating layer at least partially surrounds the first coil layer and the second coil layer,
the first coil layer and the second coil layer at least partially overlap each other and are arranged in a rectangular ring form on the one side of the ferrite, and
a ratio of a width which is larger between a first width of the first coil layer and a second width of the second coil layer to a first length of the ferrite in a width direction corresponding to the first width or the second width is 0.14 to 0.15.

2. The reception pad according to claim 1 , wherein the first width and the second width are equal to each other, and the first width is approximately 36 millimeters (mm) when the first length of the ferrite is approximately 242 mm.

3. The reception pad according to claim 2 , wherein a thickness of the first coil layer is equal to a thickness of the second coil layer, and the thickness of the first coil layer is approximately 4 mm.

4. The reception pad according to claim 3 , wherein a thickness of the interlayer insulating layer is approximately 2 mm.

5. The reception pad according to claim 4 , wherein a minimum width or an inner diameter of an intermediate region of the rectangular ring form of the first coil layer and the second coil layer is approximately 160 mm.

6. The reception pad according to claim 5 , further comprising:
a plate-shaped vehicle assembly (VA) aluminum on another side of the ferrite;
a lower insulating layer disposed on the VA aluminum; and
a bonding layer disposed between the ferrite and the VA aluminum.

7. The reception pad according to claim 1 , wherein the first width and the second width are different from each other, and the large width is approximately 36 mm when the first length of the ferrite is approximately 242 mm.

8. A method of manufacturing a reception pad for a wireless power transfer (WPT) system, the method comprising:
forming a first insulating layer on one side of a plate-shaped ferrite;
disposing a first coil layer in a rectangular ring form on the first insulating layer;
disposing an interlayer insulating layer on the first coil layer;
disposing a second coil layer on the interlayer insulating layer so as to at least partially overlap with the first coil layer; and
forming a second insulating layer on the first insulating layer so that the second insulating layer at least partially surrounds the interlayer insulating layer and the second coil layer, and so that the second coil layer is exposed from the second insulating layer,
wherein a ratio of a width which is larger between a first width of the first coil layer and a second width of the second coil layer to a first length of the ferrite in a width direction corresponding to the first width or the second width is 0.14 to 0.15.

9. The method according to claim 8 , wherein:
the first width and the second width are equal to each other, and the first width is approximately 36 millimeters (mm) when the first length of the ferrite is approximately 242 mm,
a thickness of the first coil layer is equal to a thickness of the second coil layer, the thickness of the first coil layer is approximately 4 mm, and a thickness of the interlayer insulating layer is approximately 2 mm, and
a minimum width or an inner diameter of an intermediate region of the rectangular ring form of the first coil layer and the second coil layer is approximately 160 mm.

10. The method according to claim 8 , further comprising:
disposing a plate-shaped vehicle assembly (VA) aluminum on another side of the ferrite with a bonding layer disposed therebetween; and
forming a lower insulating layer on the VA aluminum.

11. The method according to claim 8 , wherein:
the first width and the second width are different from each other, and the large width is approximately 36 mm when the first length of the ferrite is approximately 242 mm,
a thickness of the first coil layer is equal to a thickness of the second coil layer, and the thickness of the first coil layer is approximately 4 mm,
a thickness of the interlayer insulating layer is approximately 2 mm, and
a minimum width or an inner diameter of an intermediate region of the rectangular ring form of the first coil layer and the second coil layer is approximately 160 mm.

12. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the first coil layer, the interlayer insulating layer, and the second coil layer are disposed as a single laminated structure.
