Abstract

A power transmission unit includes a power transmission coil, a substrate, and a substrate shielding member. The power transmission coil transmits power to a counterpart power transmission coil in a non-contact manner. The substrate is formed in a plate shape, provided such that the substrate faces the power transmission coil, and electrically coupled to the power transmission coil. A current flows between the substrate and the power transmission coil. The substrate shielding member is formed in a plate shape and provided on a side opposite to a side adjacent to the power transmission coil of the substrate. The substrate shielding member shields a magnetic field.

Claims (17)

1. A power transmission unit, comprising:

a power transmission coil that transmits power to a counterpart power transmission coil in a non-contact manner;

a substrate that is formed in a plate shape, provided such that the substrate faces the power transmission coil, and electrically coupled to the power transmission coil, a current flowing between the substrate and the power transmission coil;

a first shielding member that is formed in a plate or a film shape, provided on a side opposite to a side adjacent to the power transmission coil of the substrate, and shields a magnetic field; and

a magnetic member that is formed in a plate shape, provided between the first shielding member and the substrate, and includes a magnetic material,

wherein an edge on an extending direction side of the magnetic member along an intersecting direction intersecting a facing direction in which the power transmission coil and the substrate face each other is located more on a central side of the first shielding member than an edge on an extending direction side of the first shielding member along the intersecting direction.

2. The power transmission unit according to claim 1 , wherein

the first shielding member is formed to have the same size as the substrate.

3. The power transmission unit according to claim 2 , further comprising:

a second shielding member that is formed in an annular shape around an axial line and has a shield wall shielding a magnetic field generated by the power transmission coil provided inside the second shielding member, wherein

the shield wall is formed such that a distance between wall surfaces facing each other in an intersecting direction intersecting the axial line increases toward the counterpart power transmission coil.

4. A power transmission unit, comprising:

a power transmission coil that transmits power to a counterpart power transmission coil in a non-contact manner;

a substrate that is formed in a plate shape, provided such that the substrate faces the power transmission coil, and electrically coupled to the power transmission coil, a current flowing between the substrate and the power transmission coil;

a first shielding member that is formed in a plate or a film shape, provided on a side opposite to a side adjacent to the power transmission coil of the substrate, and shields a magnetic field; and

a second shielding member that is formed in an annular shape around an axial line and has a shield wall shielding a magnetic field generated by the power transmission coil provided inside the second shielding member, wherein

the shield wall is formed such that a distance between wall surfaces facing each other in an intersecting direction intersecting the axial line increases toward the counterpart power transmission coil.
