Abstract

A non-contact communication coil for a non-contact power feeding device comprises a power transmission coil, a power receiving coil, and a resonance coil, and the non-contact communication coil includes a first receiver and a second receiver connected in series with the first receiver. The non-contact communication coil generates induction voltages in mutually opposing directions in the first receiver and the second receiver when current passes through at least one of the power transmission coil and the power receiving coil.

Claims (58)

1. A wireless power feeder comprising:

a power transmitter that transmits power to a power receiving device; and

a communication unit comprising:

a first receiver; and

a second receiver connected in series with the first receiver,

wherein induction voltages in mutually opposing directions are generated in the first receiver and the second receiver when current passes through the power transmitter,

wherein the first receiver is configured by winding a coil extending in a longitudinal direction around an axis perpendicular to the longitudinal direction so the longitudinal direction becomes a circumferential direction, and the second receiver is a coil wound in the circumferential direction, and

wherein outer shape sizes of the first receiver and the second receiver are identical.

2. The wireless power feeder according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a power receiver; and

a resonance coil,

wherein the power transmitter, the power receiver, and the resonance coil are arranged nearer to the first receiver than to the second receiver.

3. The wireless power feeder according to claim 2 , wherein central axes of the first receiver and the second receiver are coaxial.

4. The wireless power feeder according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a resonance coil that receives a magnetic field emitted by the power transmitter.

5. The wireless power feeder according to claim 1 , wherein

when resonance current passes through the power transmitter, the power transmitter transmits power to the power receiving device by emitting a magnetic field.

6. The wireless power feeder according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a power receiver; and

a resonance coil,

wherein when resonance current passes through the resonance coil, induced electromotive force is generated in the power receiver.

7. A wireless power feeder comprising:

a power transmitter that transmits power to a power receiving device;

a communication unit comprising:

a first receiver; and

a second receiver connected in series with the first receiver,

a power receiver; and

a resonance coil,

wherein induction voltages in mutually opposing directions are generated in the first receiver and the second receiver when current passes through the power transmitter,

wherein the first receiver is configured by winding a coil extending in a longitudinal direction around an axis perpendicular to the longitudinal direction so the longitudinal direction becomes a circumferential direction, and the second receiver is a coil wound in the circumferential direction,

wherein the power transmitter, the power receiver, and the resonance coil are arranged nearer to the first receiver than to the second receiver, and

wherein outer shape sizes of the first receiver and the second receiver are identical.

8. A wireless power feeder comprising:

a power transmitter that transmits power to a power receiving device; and

a communication unit comprising:

a first receiver; and

a second receiver connected in series with the first receiver,

a power receiver; and

a resonance coil,

wherein induction voltages in mutually opposing directions are generated in the first receiver and the second receiver when current passes through the power transmitter,

wherein the first receiver is configured by winding a coil extending in a longitudinal direction around an axis perpendicular to the longitudinal direction so the longitudinal direction becomes a circumferential direction, and the second receiver is a coil wound in the circumferential direction,

wherein the power transmitter, the power receiver, and the resonance coil are arranged nearer to the first receiver than to the second receiver,

wherein central axes of the first receiver and the second receiver are coaxial, and

wherein outer shape sizes of the first receiver and the second receiver are identical.

9. The wireless power feeder according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a resonance coil,

wherein the power transmitter is joined with the resonance coil.

10. The wireless power feeder according to claim 2 , wherein the power transmitter is joined with the resonance coil.

11. The wireless power feeder according to claim 3 , wherein the power transmitter is joined with the resonance coil.

12. The wireless power feeder according to claim 2 , wherein when resonance current passes through the power transmitter, induced electromotive force is generated in the power receiver.

13. The wireless power feeder according to claim 3 , wherein when resonance current passes through the power transmitter, induced electromotive force is generated in the power receiver.

14. The wireless power feeder according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a power receiver,

wherein when resonance current passes through the power transmitter, induced electromotive force is generated in the power receiver.

15. The wireless power feeder according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a resonance coil; and

a power receiver joined with the resonance coil.

16. The wireless power feeder according to claim 2 , wherein the power receiver is joined with the resonance coil.
