Vehicle roof
An object of the invention is to make it possible to retain a wire for contactless energy transmission in a certain path with a simple configuration without using insert molding. A component for contactless energy transmission includes a base member including a flat portion, and a wire for contactless energy transmission, the wire being fixed onto a main surface of the flat portion while being arranged along a certain path.
1. A vehicle roof in which a component for contactless energy transmission is incorporated, the component comprising a base member including a flat portion and a plurality of wires for contactless energy transmission, each of the plurality of wires comprising a core and an insulating coating that covers the core,
wherein each of the plurality of wires includes a coil portion, the coil portion being incorporated in such a manner as to enable contactless energy transmission between the coil portion and a terminal device carried by a person seated on a seat, and
the coil portions of the plurality of wires are provided above a driver's seat, a passenger seat, and a back seat, respectively, on the single base member,
the coil portions are fixed to the single base member in a state in which each of the plurality of coil portions is fixed along a certain path that forms a planar spiral loop on the main surface of the flat portion of the single base member in a state in which the coil portions do not contact each other, and
a portion of a first wire of the plurality of wires crosses another portion of the first wire.
2. The vehicle roof according to claim 1 ,
wherein the base member is a bendable member.
3. The vehicle roof according to claim 1 ,
wherein the base member is a vehicle body component that is hard enough to retain a certain shape.
4. The vehicle roof according to claim 1 ,
wherein each of the plurality of wires further includes a first leading path portion connected to a starting end of the coil portion and a second leading path portion connected to a terminating end of the coil portion, and
the second leading path portion crosses the coil portion.
5. The vehicle roof according to claim 4 ,
wherein the first leading path portions and the second leading path portions of the plurality of wires are led out from the coil portions toward a first corner of the single base member while not contacting each other.
