Abstract

Provided herein is a carrying device of a receiving device of a system for inductive power transfer to a vehicle, including: a carrying plate, a first edge element arranged at a first lateral edge of the carrying plate, and at least another edge element arranged at a second lateral edge of the carrying plate. The edge elements are slanted with respect to the carrying plate. The carrying plate and the edge elements are made of non-magnetic material. Also provided herein is a method of manufacturing the carrying device of the receiving device.

Claims (37)

1. A carrying device of a receiving device of a system for inductive power transfer to a vehicle, comprising:

a carrying plate,

a first edge element arranged at a first lateral edge of the carrying plate,

at least another edge element arranged at a second lateral edge of the carrying plate,

at least one magnetically conductive element arranged on an upper side of the carrying plate and/or a lateral outer side of each of the edge elements,

wherein

the edge elements are slanted with respect to the carrying plate.

2. The carrying device according to claim 1 , wherein at least two edge elements are arranged along a lateral edge of the carrying plate, and wherein consecutive edge elements along the lateral edge are spaced with a predetermined distance.

3. The carrying device according to claim 1 , wherein the carrying plate and the edge elements are separate pieces.

4. The carrying device according to claim 3 , wherein the edge elements have a connecting portion, and wherein the connecting portion engages with a lateral edge portion of the carrying plate.

5. The carrying device according to claim 1 , wherein a recess is provided in a laterally outer side of the edge elements.

6. The carrying device according to claim 1 , wherein the carrying plate comprises at least one longitudinal bar.

7. The carrying device according to claim 1 , wherein a bottom side of the carrying plate comprises or provides at least one connecting means for connecting at least one cable and/or a cable bearing element to the carrying device.

8. The carrying device according to claim 1 , wherein at least one pillar element is arranged on the upper side of the carrying plate.

9. The carrying device according to claim 8 , wherein the at least one pillar element comprises at least one connecting means.

10. The carrying device according to claim 8 , wherein the carrying plate and the pillar element are separate pieces.

11. The carrying device according to claim 1 , wherein the non-magnetic material is fibre-reinforced.

12. The carrying device according to claim 1 , wherein the carrying plate and/or the edge elements are made of at least one of an electrically non-conducting or insulating material, a thermally conductive material, or a material with a predetermined thermal capacity.

13. The carrying device according to claim 1 , wherein the carrying plate and/or the edge elements are made of a non-magnetic material.

14. The carrying device according to claim 1 , wherein the carrying plate and/or the edge elements comprise at least one cooling means.

15. The carrying device according to claim 1 , wherein the carrying device comprises magnetically conductive elements which are arranged on a bottom side of an edge portion of the carrying plate.

16. A receiving device of a system for inductive power transfer to a vehicle, comprising:

a carrying device according to claim 1 ,

a top cover element,

wherein the carrying device is attached to the top cover element.

17. The receiving device according to claim 16 , wherein the receiving device further comprises another carrying plate, wherein at least one electric and/or electronic element is arranged on the other carrying plate, and wherein the other carrying plate is arranged between the carrying plate and the top cover element.

18. The receiving device according to claim 17 , wherein the receiving device further comprises a cable bearing element, and wherein the cable bearing element is attached to a bottom side of the carrying plate.

19. The receiving device according to claim 17 , wherein the receiving device further comprises a bottom cover element, and wherein the bottom cover element is attached to the top cover element.

20. A method of manufacturing a carrying device of a receiving device of a system for inductive power transfer to a vehicle, comprising the steps of:

providing a carrying plate made of a non-magnetic material,

arranging a first edge element made of a non-magnetic material at a first lateral edge of the carrying plate,

arranging at least another edge element made of a non-magnetic material at a second lateral edge of the carrying plate, wherein

the edge elements are arranged slanted with respect to the carrying plate.

21. A method of manufacturing a receiving device of a system for inductive power transfer to a vehicle, comprising the steps of:

providing a carrying device according to claim 1 ,

providing a top cover element,

attaching the carrying device to the top cover element.
