Abstract

A coil unit for inductively charging a vehicle is provided. The coil unit includes a coil, wherein the coil includes multiple windings of at least two electric lines. The electric lines are connected in parallel. Each of the electric lines has a respective winding part, in which the windings are formed, and an additional part, in which an additional inductor unit having a predefined electric inductance is arranged.

Claims (13)

1. A coil unit for inductively charging a vehicle, comprising:

a coil, wherein the coil comprises a plurality of windings of at least two electrical lines, wherein

the at least two electrical lines are connected in parallel,

each of the at least two electrical lines has a respective winding part and an additional part in which an additional inductance unit is arranged that has a prescribed electrical inductance that is 0.02 times, 0.04 times, 0.06 times, or 0.08 times an electrical inductance of each of the at least two electrical lines in the respective winding part,

the at least two electrical lines are litz wires, and

the additional inductance units of the at least two electrical lines have a common ferrite, but are oppositely wound.

2. The coil unit according to claim 1 , wherein a number of electrical lines is two and the additional inductance units of the at least two electrical lines are oppositely coupled.

3. The coil unit according to claim 1 , wherein the additional inductance unit is formed as a separate component.

4. The coil unit according to claim 1 , wherein the additional inductance unit is formed by winding the respective electrical line so as to form an additional coil.

5. The coil unit according to claim 4 , wherein the additional coils of the at least two electrical lines are wound around a common ferrite.

6. The coil unit according to claim 4 , further comprising:

a carrier body that has a number of ferrites that corresponds to a number of electrical lines, wherein a magnetically neutral carrier is in each case arranged between the number of ferrites and the additional coils of the electrical lines and each of the additional coils of the number of electrical lines wound around the respective ferrite.

7. The coil unit according to claim 1 , wherein a number of electrical lines is two and electrical inductances of the two additional inductance units are prescribed such that it holds true that L_S1+L1=L_S2+L2, wherein L1 is an inductance of a first of the two additional inductance units, L2 is an inductance of a second of the two additional inductance units, L_S1 is an inductance in the winding part of an electrical line that has the first of the two additional inductance units and L_S2 is an inductance in the winding part of an electrical line that has the second of the two additional inductance units.
