Coil and non-contact power supply device
A coil according to one embodiment of the present invention is a coil in which a first electric wire on an inner peripheral side and a second electric wire on an outer peripheral side are wound side by side to connect ends of the electric wires with each other, and the coil includes a first region where the first electric wire abuts on the second electric wire of another adjacent turn and separates from the second electric wire of a same turn.
1. A coil in which a first electric wire on an innermost peripheral side of the coil and a second electric wire on an outermost peripheral side of the coil are wound side by side to form each turn of the coil and to connect ends of the first electric wire and the second electric wire with each other, the coil comprising:
a first region where the first electric wire of an Nth turn (N being an integer of 1 or more) excluding the innermost peripheral side of the coil abuts against the second electric wire of an adjacent turn and is separated from the second electric wire of the Nth turn,
a second region where the first electric wire of the Nth turn crosses in a direction of being wound forward from a first section abutting against the second electric wire of the Nth turn to a first section abutting against the second electric wire of an (N−1)th turn or an (N+1)th turn and the first electric wire of the Nth turn is separated from the second electric wire of the Nth turn; and
a third region where the first electric wire of the Nth turn crosses in a direction of being wound forward from a second section abutting against the second electric wire of the (N−1)th turn or the (N+1)th turn to a second section abutting against the second electric wire of the Nth turn and the first electric wire of the Nth turn is separated from the second electric wire of the Nth turn.
2. The coil according to claim 1 , wherein the first region, the second region, and the third region are disposed in an order of the second region, the first region, and the third region.
3. The coil according to claim 1 , wherein the first region is provided in partial zones in one round of winding.
4. The coil according to claim 1 , wherein the first region is disposed for each certain angular range divided at regular intervals from a winding center in a radial direction.
5. The coil according to claim 1 , wherein sections where the first electric wire and the second electric wire abut against each other are bonded.
6. A non-contact power supply device comprising:
a board made of metal or made of resin; and
the coil according to claim 1 , which is disposed directly on the board or with a magnetic core plate interposed therebetween.
