  • Publication number: 20230059428
    Abstract: A coil module comprises a carrier which has a polygonal basic shape with four to twelve corners and comprises a magnetic material. A coil is arranged on the carrier. The polygonal basic shape is rotationally symmetrical with an angle of 360°·2 divided by the number of corners. To produce a coil assembly, a plurality of coil modules can be connected to each other. This makes it possible to produce an efficient coil assembly for wireless electromagnetic energy transmission in a simple and flexible manner.

  • Patent number: 10319519
    Abstract: The invention proposes a method of producing induction components each containing a coil, wherein the coils are wound on a wire-winding plate, containing a multiplicity of wire-winding stubs arranged in rows and columns, using a wire which is continuous for a plurality of coils. The template provided with the coils is then pressed in a molding press with ferromagnetic substrate powder, which embeds the coils. Once the template has been removed, the interiors of the coils are provided with substrate powder, and pressed, once again in a molding press. Electrical contact is then made with the connections and the block is divided up into individual induction components each containing a coil.
