Abstract

A power reception device includes a coil; an electric unit electrically connected to the coil; and a metal case that is disposed to be adjacent to the coil and accommodates the electric unit. The electric unit includes at least one active element. The metal case includes an a inner-side wall adjacent to the coil, and an outer-side wall that is positioned on the opposite side of the coil from the inner-side wall. The at least one active element is provided at a position closer to the outer-side wall than to the inner-side wall.

Claims (78)

1. A power reception device comprising:

a coil;

an electric unit electrically connected to the coil; and

a metal case disposed to be adjacent to the coil, the metal case being configured to accommodate the electric unit, wherein

the electric unit includes at least one active element,

the metal case includes an inner-side wall and an outer-side wall,

the inner-side wall is adjacent to the coil,

the outer-side wall is positioned such that the inner-side wall is positioned between the coil and the outer-side wall, and

the at least one active element is provided at a position closer to the outer-side wall than to the inner-side wall.

2. The power reception device according to claim 1 , wherein

the electric unit includes

a filter including a filter coil connected to the coil,

a rectifier electrically connected to the filter by a first electric power line and a second electric power line,

a protection circuit electrically connected to the first electric power line and the second electric power line, and

a converter electrically connected to the rectifier,

the protection circuit includes

a protection controller configured to control driving of the protection circuit by switching between a state in which the first electric power line and the second electric power line are electrically connected, and a state in which the electric connection between the first electric power line and the second electric power line is cut, and

a converter controller configured to control driving of the converter, and

a distance between the converter controller and the filter coil is longer than a distance between the protection controller and the filter coil.

3. A power reception device comprising:

a coil configured by winding a coil wire in a hollow shape;

a ferrite plate on which the coil is disposed;

an electric unit electrically connected to the coil; and

a metal case disposed to be adjacent to the coil, the metal case being configured to accommodate the electric unit, wherein

the electric unit includes at least one active element,

the ferrite plate includes a coil mounting surface on which the coil is disposed,

a notch is provided in an outer peripheral edge portion of the ferrite plate,

a width of the notch in a direction in which the coil wire extends increases from an inner peripheral edge portion side of the coil to an outer peripheral edge portion side of the coil, and

the at least one active element is disposed in an adjacent area that is adjacent to the notch, in the metal case.

4. The power reception device according to claim 3 , wherein

the electric unit includes

a filter including a filter coil connected to the coil,

a rectifier electrically connected to the filter by a first electric power line and a second electric power line,
