Abstract
A winding of a transmission coil included in a power transmission device of a contactless power feed apparatus and serving to transmit AC power to a power reception device contactlessly is formed of a wiring pattern provided on a substrate. The transmission coil is divided into partial coils arranged coaxially. Each of the partial coils is formed such that, among the partial coils, a number of turns of a winding included in a partial coil is larger as the partial coil is located more outwardly.
Claims5
A contactless power feed apparatus comprising:
- a power transmission device;
- and a power reception device to which power is transmitted contactlessly from the power transmission device,
- the power transmission device comprising:
- a transmission coil that transmits AC power to the power reception device;
- and
- a power supply circuit that supplies AC power to the transmission coil,
