  • Patent number: 10847310
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a coil unit that includes a coil formed by spirally winding a conductive wire, a capacitor electrically connected to the coil, a magnetic member covering the coil in an axial direction of the coil, a first metal shield covering the coil with the magnetic member interposed therebetween, and a second metal shield disposed between the magnetic member and the first metal shield so as to form a space for housing the capacitor. The second metal shield includes a flat plate part facing to the magnetic member, a side wall disposed around the capacitor, and a flange part formed by bending a leading end portion of the side wall extending toward the first metal shield. The flange part is disposed so as to be thermally connected to the first metal shield.

  • Patent number: 10804709
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a coil unit that includes a coil, a magnetic member having a first surface facing to the coil and a second surface opposite to the first surface, a first metal shield covering the second surface of the magnetic member, and a second metal shield disposed so as to surround the coil. The first metal shield is disposed spaced apart in the axial direction of the coil from the second surface in a region between an end portion of the magnetic member and the second metal shield. A length Lp of a protruding part of the second shield that protrudes forward from a reference plane that is coplanar with the first surface in the axial direction of the coil is smaller than a first distance Ly from the end portion of the magnetic member to the second metal shield.

  • Patent number: 10298069
    Abstract: A wireless power receiving device, for wirelessly receiving electric power from a wireless power feeding device, includes: a power receiving side resonant circuit having a power receiving coil wirelessly receiving power from a power feeding side and a power receiving side resonant capacitor; a rectifier circuit in which the power received by the power receiving coil is rectified to be output to a load; a power receiving side voltage detecting portion for detecting the output voltage of the rectifier circuit; a short circuit having a switching element connected between an output portion of the power receiving side resonant circuit and an output portion of the rectifier circuit, and a rectifying element inserted between the output portion of the power receiving side resonant circuit and the switching element; and a controlling circuit which operates the switching element when a value of the output voltage exceeds a preset reference voltage value.
