Abstract

A wireless power transmitter according to one embodiment of the present disclosure comprises a primary coil forming magnetic coupling with a secondary coil provided in a wireless power receiver and transmitting wireless power to the wireless power receiver, wherein the primary coil is formed by spirally winding a plurality of subcoils connected electrically in parallel while keeping the subcoils in contact with each other, and the subcoil is litz wire consisting of several conducting wires packed in a bundle.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A wireless power transmitter transmitting wireless power to a wireless power receiver, the wireless power transmitter comprising:
a primary coil forming magnetic coupling with a secondary coil provided in the wireless power receiver and transmitting wireless power to the wireless power receiver,
wherein the primary coil is formed by spirally winding a plurality of subcoils connected electrically in parallel while keeping the subcoils in contact with each other,
wherein the subcoil is litz wire consisting of several conducting wires packed in a bundle, and
wherein the primary coil is formed by spirally winding the plurality of subcoils on a single plane.

2. The wireless power transmitter of claim 1 , wherein the subcoil is made up of 100 strands of conducting wires having a diameter of 0.05 mm.

3. The wireless power transmitter of claim 2 , wherein the primary coil is formed by spirally winding three subcoils electrically connected.

4. The wireless power transmitter of claim 3 , wherein the number of turns of the primary coil is 10, and
self-inductance of the primary coil ranges from 10 to 12 μH.

5. The wireless power transmitter of claim 2 , wherein the primary coil is made up of two layers in which six subcoils connected electrically in parallel are wound spirally in parallel with each other while being kept in contact with each other.

6. The wireless power transmitter of claim 5 , wherein the number of turns of the primary coil in each layer is 5, and
self-inductance of the primary coil ranges from 10 to 12 μH.

7. The wireless power transmitter of claim 2 , wherein outer length of major axis of the primary coils is within 80 mm, and
outer length of minor axis of the primary coil is within 60 mm.

8. The wireless power transmitter of claim 7 , wherein inner length of major axis of the primary coils is within 41 mm, and
inner length of minor axis of the primary coil is within 21 mm.

9. The wireless power transmitter of claim 1 , wherein the subcoil consists of 65 strands of conducting wires having a diameter of 0.05 mm.

10. The wireless power transmitter of claim 9 , wherein the primary coil is formed by spirally winding four subcoils electrically connected.

11. The wireless power transmitter of claim 10 , wherein the number of turns of the primary coil is 10, and
self-inductance of the primary coil ranges from 10 to 12 μH.

12. The wireless power transmitter of claim 9 , wherein the primary coil is made up of two layers in which eight subcoils connected electrically in parallel are wound spirally in parallel with each other while being kept in contact with each other.

13. The wireless power transmitter of claim 12 , wherein the number of turns of the primary coil is 5, and
self-inductance of the primary coil ranges from 10 to 12 μH.

14. The wireless power transmitter of claim 7 , wherein outer length of major axis of the primary coils is within 80 mm, and
outer length of minor axis of the primary coil is within 60 mm.

15. The wireless power transmitter of claim 14 , wherein inner length of major axis of the primary coils is within 41.6 mm, and
inner length of minor axis of the primary coil is within 21.6 mm.
