Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a wireless power transmitter, a wireless power receiver and a wireless charging system in a wireless power transfer field. A wireless power transmitter disclosed herein includes a first coil configured to transfer a wireless power signal to a wireless power receiver, a second coil having a wire wound to transfer power to the wireless power receiver in a wireless manner, and a controller configured to control operations of the first and second coils, wherein the first coil is provided with a wire wound along an edge of a shape of the second coil.

Claims (42)

1. A wireless power receiver comprising:

a first coil configured to transmit and receive a wireless signal to and from a wireless power transmitter;

a second coil having a wire wound to receive power from the wireless power transmitter in a wireless manner; and

a controller configured to control the transmission and reception of the wireless power signal and the reception of the wireless power,

wherein the first coil and the second coil are disposed neighboring to each other,

wherein the wire of the first coil has a smaller number of turns than the wire of the second coil,

wherein the wire of the first coil is wound along an outer edge of the second coil, and

wherein the second coil has a thickness of 1.15 mm ±0.3.

2. The wireless power receiver of claim 1 , wherein the first coil is provided with a wire wound along an edge of a shape of the second coil.

3. The wireless power receiver of claim 1 , wherein the first coil is a single coil with one turn wound along the outer edge of the second coil.

4. The wireless power receiver of claim 1 , wherein the wire of the first coil surrounds the outer edge of the second coil.

5. The wireless power receiver of claim 1 , wherein the shape of the first coil corresponds to the shape of the second coil.

6. The wireless power receiver of claim 1 , wherein the wire of the second coil is formed on a single layer, and the wire of the first coil is disposed on the single layer.

7. The wireless power receiver of claim 1 , wherein the first coil and the second coil are configured to receive the wireless power signal and the wireless power, respectively, through a transmitting coil provided at the wireless power transmitter, and

wherein the transmitting coil has an inner diameter of 72 mm (±10%), and an outer diameter of 120 mm.

8. The wireless power receiver of claim 1 , wherein the second coil has an inner diameter of 52 mm (±10%), and an outer diameter of 100 mm.

9. The wireless power receiver of claim 1 , further comprising:

a shielding member configured to overlap the first and second coils,

wherein the shielding member has a shape of a rectangular plate of 105 mm long sides, and a thickness of at least 2.5 mm.

10. The wireless power receiver of claim 1 , wherein a low voltage induced in the first coil is lower than a medium voltage induced in the second coil.

11. The wireless power receiver of claim 1 , wherein the wireless power signal received through the first coil is a wireless power signal of low power, and

wherein the wireless power received through the second coil corresponds to medium power.

12. A wireless charging system comprising a wireless power transmitter and a wireless power receiver,

wherein the wireless power receiver comprises:

a first coil configured to transmit and receive a wireless signal to and from a single coil of the wireless power transmitter; and

a second coil having a wire that is wound to receive power from the single coil of the wireless power transmitter in a wireless manner, wherein the wire has a shape corresponding to a shape of the first coil,

wherein the wire of the first coil has a smaller number of turns than the wire of the second coil,

wherein the wire of the first coil is wound along an outer edge of the second coil, and

wherein the second coil has a thickness of 1.15 mm ±0.3.

13. The wireless charging system of claim 12 , wherein the first coil is a single coil with one turn wound along the outer edge of the second coil.

14. The wireless charging system of claim 12 , wherein the wire of the first coil surrounds the outer edge of the second coil.

15. The wireless charging system of claim 12 , wherein the shape of the first coil corresponds to the shape of the second coil.

16. The wireless charging system of claim 12 , wherein the wire of the second coil is formed on a single layer, and the wire of the first coil is disposed on the single layer.

17. The wireless charging system of claim 12 , wherein the wireless power transmitter comprises:

a first transmitting coil configured to transfer a wireless power signal to the wireless power receiver;

a second transmitting coil having a wire wound to transfer power to the wireless power receiver in a wireless manner; and

a controller configured to control operations of the first and second transmitting coils,

wherein the first transmitting coil is provided with a wire wound along an edge of a shape of the second transmitting coil.

18. The wireless charging system of claim 17 , wherein the second transmitting coil has an inner diameter of 72 mm (±10%) and an outer diameter of 120 mm.

19. The wireless charging system of claim 17 , further comprising:

a shielding member configured to overlap the first and second transmitting coils,

wherein the shielding member has a shape of a rectangular plate of 125 mm long sides, and a thickness of at least 2.5 mm.
