Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Coil surfaces of a first coil (1) and a second coil (3) are parallel in a state of having an interval therebetween. When the first coil (1) rotates, a combined inductance by the first coil (1) and the second coil (3) changes.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. An inductance adjusting device that adjusts an inductance of an electric circuit, the inductance adjusting device comprising: a first coil having a first circumferential portion, a second circumferential portion, and a first connecting portion; and a second coil having a third circumferential portion, a fourth circumferential portion, and a second connecting portion, wherein the first circumferential portion, the second circumferential portion, the third circumferential portion, and the fourth circumferential portion each are a portion circling so as to surround an inner region thereof, the first connecting portion is a portion that connects one end of the first circumferential portion and one end of the second circumferential portion mutually, the second connecting portion is a portion that connects one end of the third circumferential portion and one end of the fourth circumferential portion mutually, the first coil and the second coil are connected in series or parallel, the first circumferential portion and the second circumferential portion exist on the same plane, the third circumferential portion and the fourth circumferential portion exist on the same plane, a set of the first circumferential portion and the second circumferential portion and a set of the third circumferential portion and the fourth circumferential portion are arranged in a parallel state with an interval provided therebetween, at least one of the first coil and the second coil rotates about a shaft of the first coil and the second coil as a rotation shaft, the shaft is a shaft passing through a middle position between the center of the first circumferential portion and the center of the second circumferential portion and a middle position between the center of the third circumferential portion and the center of the fourth circumferential portion, the first circumferential portion and the second circumferential portion are arranged so as to maintain a state where at least one of the first coil and the second coil is displaced by 180° in terms of angle in a rotation direction, and the third circumferential portion and the fourth circumferential portion are arranged so as to maintain a state where at least one of the first coil and the second coil is displaced by 180° in terms of angle in the rotation direction. 2. The inductance adjusting device according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first coil and the second coil rotates so as to include both states or one state of a first state and a second state, the first state is a state where the first circumferential portion and the third circumferential portion are at positions facing each other and the second circumferential portion and the fourth circumferential portion are at positions facing each other, and the second state is a state where the first circumferential portion and the fourth circumferential portion are at positions facing each other and the second circumferential portion and the third circumferential portion are at positions facing each other. 3. The inductance adjusting device according to claim 1 or 2 , wherein the total of an absolute value of a rotation angle of the first coil in a first direction and an absolute value of a rotation angle of the second coil in a second direction being a direction opposite to the first direction ranges from 0° to 180°. 4. The inductance adjusting device according to claim 1 or 2 , wherein shapes and sizes of the first circumferential portion, the second circumferential portion, the third circumferential portion, and the fourth circumferential portion are the same in a portion of 60% or more of the total length of the first circumferential portion, the second circumferential portion, the third circumferential portion, and the fourth circumferential portion. 5. The inductance adjusting device according to claim 1 or 2 , wherein the first coil rotates and the second coil does not rotate. 6. The inductance adjusting device according to claim 1 or 2 , wherein the first coil and the second coil each are a coil wound two turns or more in a direction vertical to the shaft. 7. The inductance adjusting device according to claim 1 or 2 , wherein there are a plurality of groups of the first coil and the second coil, and the plural groups are connected in series or parallel. 8. The inductance adjusting device according to claim 1 or 2 , wherein a plurality of the first coils and a plurality of the second coils are arranged in a direction vertical to the shaft. 9. The inductance adjusting device according to claim 1 or 2 , further comprising: a switching device that switches between the series connection and the parallel connection. 10. The inductance adjusting device according to claim 1 or 2 , wherein the rotation is performed while the electric circuit is operating. 11. The inductance adjusting device according to claim 1 or 2 , further comprising: a capacitor electrically connected to the first coil and the second coil, wherein the capacitor is a capacitor for reducing a potential to be applied to the inductance adjusting device when the electric circuit is energized. 12. The inductance adjusting device according to claim 1 or 2 , wherein of at least one of the first coil and the second coil, a position in a direction along the shaft is changed. 13. The inductance adjusting device according to claim 1 or 2 , wherein the first coil and the second coil are connected to the electric circuit so as to prevent a resonant current to be applied to the electric circuit from branching.
