Abstract
A coil device includes a first coil portion which faces a second coil portion of another coil device and has a conductive wire, and at least one non-magnetic member disposed on an opposite side from a side facing the second coil portion. The non-magnetic member includes an eddy current interrupter for changing a state of an eddy current formed in the non-magnetic member by interrupting a portion of the eddy current.
Claims8
A coil device facing another coil device to transmit or receive power wirelessly, the coil device comprising:
- a first coil portion facing a second coil portion of the other coil device and including a conductive wire;
- a plurality of non-magnetic members which are electrically conductive and disposed such that the first coil portion is positioned between the plurality of non-magnetic members and the second coil portion,
- wherein the plurality of non-magnetic members includes a first non-magnetic member and a second non-magnetic member which are disposed such that the first non-magnetic member is positioned between the first coil portion and the second non-magnetic member, and
- wherein at least one of the first non-magnetic member and the second non-magnetic member includes an eddy current interrupter for changing a state of an eddy current formed in the at least one of the first non-magnetic member and the second non-magnetic member by interrupting a portion of the eddy current, the eddy current interrupter including a hole portion penetrating the at least one of the first non-magnetic member and the second non-magnetic member or a depressed portion in the at least one of the first non-magnetic member and the second non-magnetic member, and
- a conductive sheet-shaped member provided between the first non-magnetic member and the second non-magnetic member, and including a first surface in contact with the first non-magnetic member and a second surface in contact with the second non-magnetic member.
