Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A wireless power transmission device includes a power feeding unit and a power receiving unit. The power feeding unit and the power receiving unit are disposed so that a principal surface of a primary magnetic core and a principal surface of a secondary magnetic core face each other across a primary winding and a secondary winding. The distance from a surface of a feeding-side shield member which faces a feeding-side coil to a surface of the feeding-side coil which faces the feeding-side shield member, is longer than the distance from a surface of a receiving-side shield member which faces a receiving-side coil to a surface of the receiving-side coil which faces the receiving-side shield member.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A wireless power transmission device, comprising: a power feeding unit, the power feeding unit including a feeding-side coil having a primary winding and a primary magnetic core, the primary magnetic core having two principal surfaces that face each other, and a feeding-side shield member having two principal surfaces that face each other, one of the principal surfaces of the primary magnetic core and one of the principal surfaces of the feeding-side shield member being disposed so as to face each other; and a power receiving unit, the power receiving unit including a receiving-side coil having a secondary winding and a secondary magnetic core, the secondary magnetic core having two principal surfaces that face each other, and a receiving-side shield member that has two principal surfaces that face each other, one of the principal surfaces of the secondary magnetic core and one of the principal surfaces of the receiving-side shield member being disposed so as to face each other, the receiving-side coil and the receiving-side shield member being disposed so as to overlap each other, wherein the power feeding unit and the power receiving unit are disposed so that another one of the principal surfaces of the primary magnetic core and another one of the principal surfaces of the secondary magnetic core face each other across the primary winding and the secondary winding, and wherein a distance from a surface of the feeding-side shield member which faces the feeding-side coil to a surface of the feeding-side coil which faces the feeding-side shield member, is longer than a distance from a surface of the receiving-side shield member which faces the receiving-side coil to a surface of the receiving-side coil which faces the receiving-side shield member. 2. The wireless power transmission device according to claim 1 , wherein: the primary winding is a wire that is wound in a planar shape, and provided on one of the principal surfaces of the primary magnetic core which is located opposite to one of the principal surfaces of the primary magnetic core which faces the feeding-side shield member; and the secondary winding is a wire that is wound in a planar shape, and provided on one of the principal surfaces of the secondary magnetic core which is located opposite to one of the principal surfaces of the secondary magnetic core which faces the receiving-side shield member. 3. The wireless power transmission device according to claim 1 , wherein: the primary winding is a wire that is wound around the primary magnetic core in a helical shape while crossing the two principal surfaces of the primary magnetic core a plurality of times; and the secondary winding is a wire that is wound around the secondary magnetic core in a helical shape while crossing the two principal surfaces of the secondary magnetic core a plurality of times.
