Shield member and power transmission unit
A shield member and a power transmission unit each include a shielding wall formed annularly about an axis so as to surround a power transmission coil at a position extending along an intersecting direction. The shielding wall shields a magnetic force generated by the power transmission coil. The shielding wall is formed such that a distance between wall faces facing each other in the intersecting direction is wider at a longer distance from a first side toward a second side in an axial direction.
1. A shield member comprising:
a shielding wall that is formed annularly around a longitudinal axis, and shields a magnetic force generated by a power transmission coil disposed inside the shielding wall, wherein
the shielding wall includes wall faces facing each other in an intersecting direction that intersects the longitudinal axis,
the wall faces shield a magnetic force generated by the power transmission coil and are formed such that a distance between the wall faces on a first side of the shielding wall than a distance on a second side of the shielding wall in the longitudinal axis.
2. The shield member according to claim 1 , wherein
the shielding wall is formed to have an arcuate cross-sectional shape along an axial direction extending along the longitudinal axis.
3. The shield member according to claim 1 , wherein
the shielding wall is formed to have an arcuate cross-sectional shape along an axial direction extending along the longitudinal axis.
4. A power transmission unit, comprising:
a power transmission coil that transmits electric power to a counterpart side power transmission coil in a non-contact manner; and
a shield member that includes a shielding wall that is formed annularly around a longitudinal axis, and shields a magnetic force generated by the power transmission coil disposed inside the shielding wall, wherein
the shielding wall includes wall faces facing each other in an intersecting direction that intersects the longitudinal axis,
the wall faces shield a magnetic force generated by the power transmission coil and are formed such that a distance between the wall faces on a first side of the shielding wall than a distance on a second side of the shielding wall in the longitudinal axis.
5. The shield member according to claim 1 , wherein
the shielding wall is fixed on a support plate in an inner case.
6. The power transmission unit according to claim 4 , wherein
the shielding wall is fixed on a support plate in an inner case.
7. The shield member according to claim 1 , wherein
the shielding wall has both ends open in an axial direction extending along the longitudinal axis.
8. The power transmission unit according to claim 4 , wherein
the shielding wall has both ends open in an axial direction extending along the longitudinal axis.
