Abstract

A wireless charging device is proposed. The wireless charging device may maximize charging efficiency improvement and heat generation reduction effect by appropriately arranging a second magnetic body on a first magnetic body, resulting in an offset of a magnetic flux linkage occurring inside an aluminum shield due to a magnetic field having passed through the first magnetic body.

Claims (46)

1 . A wireless charging device comprising:

a first magnetic body having a plane shape;

a second magnetic body having a plane shape and disposed on the first magnetic body;

a coil disposed under the first magnetic body; and

a shield disposed on the second magnetic body,

wherein the shield comprises an aluminum material,

wherein the first magnetic body comprises a soft magnetic material, and

wherein the second magnetic body comprises a hard magnetic material.

2 . The wireless charging device of claim 1 , wherein the first magnetic body comprises:

a central part that extends from a center of the first magnetic body to a predetermined distance outward from the center; and

an edge part that is a remaining region other than the central part of the first magnetic body,

wherein an area of the central part is 20% to 80% of a total area of the first magnetic body.

3 . The wireless charging device of claim 2 , wherein the second magnetic body is disposed on the central part of the first magnetic body and an area of the second magnetic body is 1% to 100% of an area of the coil.

4 . The wireless charging device of claim 2 , wherein the second magnetic body has a frame shape disposed along a boundary of the central part or the edge part of the first magnetic body.

5 . The wireless charging device of claim 2 , wherein the second magnetic body extends along an outer periphery of the edge part of the first magnetic body.

6 . The wireless charging device of claim 2 , wherein the second magnetic body is radially disposed with respect to the center of the first magnetic body.

7 . The wireless charging device of claim 1 ,

wherein the soft magnetic material comprises at least one of Fe, Fe—Si, Fe—Si—Al, Fe—Al, Fe—Co, Fe—Si—Cr, Stainless steel, Ni—Fe, Ni—Fe—Mo, Mn—Zn Ferrite, Ni—Zn Ferrite, Fe—Si—B-based amorphous, Fe—Si—B—Cu—Nb-based nanocrystal grains, or any combination thereof.

8 . The wireless charging device of claim 1 ,

wherein the hard magnetic material comprises a permanent magnet.

9 . The wireless charging device of claim 8 , wherein the permanent magnet comprises at least one of an alnico magnet, a ferrite magnet, a rare earth magnet, a rubber magnet, a plastic magnet, a neodymium (NdFeB) magnet, a FeCrCo magnet, or any combination thereof.

10 . The wireless charging device of claim 1 , wherein the second magnetic body has a residual induction (Br) of 2300 G to 2500 G.

11 . The wireless charging device of claim 1 , wherein the second magnetic body has a coercive force (bHc) of 2100 Oe to 2300 Oe.

12 . The wireless charging device of claim 1 , wherein the second magnetic body has an intrinsic coercive force (iHc) of 3000 Oe to 3200 Oe.

13 . The wireless charging device of claim 1 , wherein the second magnetic body has a maximum energy product ((BH)max) of 1.35 MG·Oe to 1.55 MG·Oe.

14 . The wireless charging device of claim 1 , wherein the second magnetic body has a density of 3.5 g/cm 3 to 3.7 g/cm 3 .

15 . The wireless charging device of claim 1 , wherein the coil comprises a plurality of wires being wound in parallel, and

wherein the plurality of wires constitutes a spiral pattern.

16 . A vehicle comprising:

a wireless charging device comprising:

a first magnetic body having a plane shape,

a second magnetic body having a plane shape and disposed on the first magnetic body,

a coil disposed under the first magnetic body, and

a shield disposed on the second magnetic body,

wherein the shield comprises an aluminum material,

wherein the first magnetic body comprises a soft magnetic material, and

wherein the second magnetic body comprises a hard magnetic material.

17 . The vehicle of claim 16 , wherein the first magnetic body comprises:

a central part that extends from a center of the first magnetic body to a predetermined distance outward from the center; and

an edge part that is a remaining region other than the central part of the first magnetic body,

wherein an area of the central part is 20% to 80% of a total area of the first magnetic body.

18 . The vehicle of claim 17 , wherein the second magnetic body is disposed on the central part of the first magnetic body and an area of the second magnetic body is 1% to 100% of an area of the coil.

19 . The vehicle of claim 16 ,

wherein the soft magnetic material comprises at least one of Fe, Fe—Si, Fe—Si—Al, Fe—Al, Fe—Co, Fe—Si—Cr, Stainless steel, Ni—Fe, Ni—Fe—Mo, Mn—Zn Ferrite, Ni—Zn Ferrite, Fe—Si—B-based amorphous, Fe—Si—B—Cu—Nb-based nanocrystal grains, or any combination thereof.

20 . The vehicle of claim 16 ,

wherein the hard magnetic material comprises a permanent magnet.
