Abstract

In a power transmission unit, a first coil pattern group and a second coil pattern group are connected with each other with an upper layer outer pattern, located outside in an axial line direction and outside in the intersecting direction, connected with a lower layer inner pattern, located outside in the axial line direction and inside in the intersecting direction. Furthermore, the first coil pattern group and a second coil pattern group are connected with each other with a lower layer outer pattern, located inside in the axial line direction and outside in the intersecting direction, connected with an upper layer inner pattern, located inside in the axial line direction and inside in the intersecting direction.

Claims (23)

1. A power transmission unit comprising:

a substrate that includes a first layer including a flat plate-like first substrate and a first coil pattern group having a plurality of first coil patterns spirally formed around an axial line and disposed on the first substrate, and a second layer including a flat plate-like second substrate and a second coil pattern group having a plurality of second coil patterns spirally formed around the axial line and disposed on the second substrate, wherein

the first coil pattern group has the first coil patterns arrayed along a direction intersecting with the axial line and disposed on respective layers of the first substrate in a manner of being stacked on one over another along an axial line direction,

the second coil pattern group has the second coil patterns arrayed in the intersecting direction and disposed on respective layers of the second substrate in a manner of being stacked on one over another along the axial line direction, and

the first coil pattern group and the second coil pattern group are connected with each other with the first coil pattern, located outside in the axial line direction and outside in the intersecting direction, connected with the second coil pattern, located outside in the axial line direction and inside in the intersecting direction, and with the first coil pattern, located inside in the axial line direction and outside in the intersecting direction, connected with the second coil pattern, located inside in the axial line direction and inside in the intersecting direction, and wirelessly transmit electric power to a counterpart power transmission coil pattern.

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

the first coil pattern group and the second coil pattern group are connected with each other with the first coil pattern, located outside in the axial line direction and inside in the intersecting direction, connected with the second coil pattern, located outside in the axial line direction and outside in the intersecting direction, and with the first coil pattern, located inside in the axial line direction and inside in the intersecting direction, connected with the second coil pattern, located inside in the axial line direction and outside in the intersecting direction.

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

the first coil pattern group includes the first coil patterns, that are a first upper layer inner pattern, a first upper layer outer pattern located outside the first upper layer inner pattern in the intersecting direction, a first lower layer inner pattern located on the first upper layer inner pattern, particularly on a side closer to the second coil pattern group, and a first lower layer outer pattern located outside the first lower layer inner pattern in the intersecting direction,

the second coil pattern group includes the second coil patterns, that are a second upper layer inner pattern, a second upper layer outer pattern located outside the second upper layer inner pattern in the intersecting direction, a second lower layer inner pattern located on the second upper layer inner pattern, particularly on a side opposite the first coil pattern group, and a second lower layer outer pattern located outside the second lower layer inner pattern in the intersecting direction, and

in connection of the first coil pattern group and the second coil pattern group, the first upper layer outer pattern is connected with the second lower layer inner pattern, the first upper layer inner pattern is connected with the second lower layer outer pattern, the first lower layer outer pattern is connected with the second upper layer inner pattern, and the first lower layer inner pattern is connected with the second upper layer outer pattern.

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

the first coil pattern group includes the first coil patterns, that are a first upper layer inner pattern, a first upper layer outer pattern located outside the first upper layer inner pattern in the intersecting direction, a first lower layer inner pattern located on the first upper layer inner pattern, particularly on a side closer to the second coil pattern group, and a first lower layer outer pattern located outside the first lower layer inner pattern in the intersecting direction,

the second coil pattern group includes the second coil patterns, that are a second upper layer inner pattern, a second upper layer outer pattern located outside the second upper layer inner pattern in the intersecting direction, a second lower layer inner pattern located on the second upper layer inner pattern, particularly on a side opposite the first coil pattern group, and a second lower layer outer pattern located outside the second lower layer inner pattern in the intersecting direction, and

in connection of the first coil pattern group and the second coil pattern group, the first upper layer outer pattern is connected with the second lower layer inner pattern, the first upper layer inner pattern is connected with the second lower layer outer pattern, the first lower layer outer pattern is connected with the second upper layer inner pattern, and the first lower layer inner pattern is connected with the second upper layer outer pattern.

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

in connection of the first coil pattern group and the second coil pattern group, ends of the first coil patterns closer to the axial line are connected with ends of the second coil patterns closer to the axial line.

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

in connection of the first coil pattern group and the second coil pattern group, ends of the first coil patterns closer to the axial line are connected with ends of the second coil patterns closer to the axial line.

7. The power transmission unit according to claim 3 , wherein

in connection of the first coil pattern group and the second coil pattern group, ends of the first coil patterns closer to the axial line are connected with ends of the second coil patterns closer to the axial line.

8. The power transmission unit according to claim 4 , wherein

in connection of the first coil pattern group and the second coil pattern group, ends of the first coil patterns closer to the axial line are connected with ends of the second coil patterns closer to the axial line.
