Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A power-supply-side and the power-receiving-side units include power-supply-side and power-receiving-side coils each of which supplies or receives power in a non-contact manner; and a ceramic capacitor provided with an electrode being housed inside power-supply-side and power-receiving-side cases. The ceramic capacitor is arranged such that the electrode is non-perpendicular to each center axis direction of the power-supply-side and power-receiving-side coils.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A coil unit comprising: a coil supplying or receiving power in a non-contact manner; a plurality of capacitors which is provided with an electrode being a metal surface; and a case housing the coil and the capacitors, wherein each of the capacitors is arranged such that the electrode is non-perpendicular to a center axis direction of the coil. 2 . The coil unit according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of the capacitors are arranged side by side along the center axis direction of the coil, and obliquely arranged such that the electrodes of the capacitors are away from the coil as approaching a center in the center axis direction of the coil, and the plurality of capacitors are arranged such that the capacitor which is closer to the center in the center axis direction of the coil has smaller inclination with respect to the center axis direction. 3 . A power supply system comprising: a power supply unit which is provided on a ground surface; and a power receiving unit which is provided in a vehicle, the power receiving unit receiving power transmitted from the power supply unit in a non-contact manner, wherein at least one of the power supply unit or the power receiving unit includes the coil unit according to any one of claim 1 . 4 . A power supply system comprising: a power supply unit which is provided on a ground surface; and a power receiving unit which is provided in a vehicle, the power receiving unit receiving power transmitted from the power supply unit in a non-contact manner, wherein at least one of the power supply unit or the power receiving unit includes the coil unit according to any one of claim 2 .
