The center conductor is surrounded by a U-shaped core of the transmitter head which is movable along the center conductor. A winding is provided on the U-shaped core.

Aus der WO 92/17929 ist ebenfalls ein System zur berührungslosen Energieübertragung, wobei die Übertragungsstrecke aus einer Hin- und einer Rückleitung in Form vonFrom WO 92/17929 is also a system for contactless energy transmission, the transmission path consisting of a forward and a return line in the form of
Linienleitern besteht. Dabei benötigt der mit einem E-förmigen Kern und einer am mittleren Schenkel de E-förmigen Kerns angeordneten Wicklung ausgeführte Übertragerkopf ebenfalls ein großes Bauvolumen.Line ladders exist. The transducer head, which has an E-shaped core and a winding arranged on the middle leg of the E-shaped core, also requires a large structural volume.
Aus der DE 197 46 919 A1 ist eine flache Anordnung bekannt, die allerdings einen geringen Wirkungsgrad bei der Energieübertragung zur Folge hat.A flat arrangement is known from DE 197 46 919 A1, which, however, results in low energy transmission efficiency.
Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen System zur berührungslosen Energieübertragung derart weiterzubilden, dass in kostengünstiger Weise ein geringeres Bauvolumen benötigt wird.The invention is therefore based on the object of developing a system for contactless energy transmission in such a way that a smaller construction volume is required in a cost-effective manner.
Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe bei dem Übertragerkopf nach den in Anspruch 1 oder 2 und bei dem System nach den in Anspruch 12 angegebenen Merkmalen gelöst.

Von Vorteil ist dabei, dass der Übertragerkopf sehr flach, kostengünstig ist und ein geringes Bauvolumen beansprucht.

In addition, the efficiency in energy transmission is much higher, since the E-shaped design guides the field lines in such a way that fewer stray fields are created and the majority of the field lines generated by the primary lines are led through the ferrite core with the legs of the E.

Die Erfindung wird nun anhand von Abbildungen näher erläutert:The invention will now be explained in more detail with reference to figures:
In der Figur 1a ist ein erfindungsgemäßer Übertragerkopf dargestellt, wobei in Figur 1b ein vergrößerter Ausschnitt des linken Endbereichs gezeigt ist. Er ist flach ausgeführt und benötigt ein geringes Bauvolumen.A transmitter head according to the invention is shown in FIG. 1a, an enlarged section of the left end region being shown in FIG. 1b. It is flat and requires a small volume.
Dabei sind auf den Träger 1 Ferritkerne 2 aufgebracht und verbunden, insbesondere als Klebeverbindung oder als lösbare Verbindung, wie Schraubverbindung oder dergleichen.In this case, ferrite cores 2 are applied and connected to the carrier 1, in particular as an adhesive connection or as a releasable connection, such as a screw connection or the like.
An den Ferritkernen 2 ist eine mehrlagige Platine mit Lagen (3, 4, 5) vorgesehen, die als flache Wicklungen ausgebildete Leiterbahnen aus Kupfer tragen und somit auf der Platine ausgeführt sind.A multi-layer circuit board with layers (3, 4, 5) is provided on the ferrite cores 2, which have copper conductor tracks designed as flat windings and are thus designed on the circuit board.
In einem anderen erfindungsgemäßen Ausführungsbeispiel wird dabei eine einzige ebene spiralförmige Wicklung als Leiterbahn einer einlagigen Platine vorgesehen, wobei dann allerdings weniger elektrische Leistung übertragbar ist.In another exemplary embodiment according to the invention, a single flat spiral winding is provided as the conductor track of a single-layer circuit board, although less electrical power can then be transmitted.
In anderen erfindungsgemäßen Ausführungsbeispielen, insbesondere nach Figur 1a und 1 b, wird dabei eine mehrlagige Platine (3,4,5) eingesetzt, die in mehreren Ebenen eine spiralförmige Wicklung aufweist. Insbesondere verläuft die Leitung des Stromes dabei nicht nur in einer einzigen spiralfömigen jeweiligen Ebene sondern die Leitung wechselt mehrfach zwischen den Ebenen zur Verminderung des Skin-Effektes. Das heißt, dass vorteiligerweise nach einem kurzen Leiterbahnabschnitt ein Wechsel in eine nächste Ebene der Platine erfolgt, dort wieder ein kurzer Leiterbahnabschnitt durchlaufen wird und dann wiederum gewechselt wird. Auf diese Weise entsteht eine quasi verdrillte Stromführung, die vom Grundprinzip her einer Litze entspricht, also einem mehrfachen Bündel gegenseitig isoliert ausgeführter Stromleitungen. Die so entstandene Wicklung ist also quasi-verdrillt ausgeführt.In other exemplary embodiments according to the invention, in particular according to FIGS. 1a and 1b, a multilayer board (3, 4, 5) is used which has a spiral winding in several planes. In particular, the conduction of the current does not only run in a single spiral-shaped respective level, but the line alternates several times between the levels to reduce the skin effect. This means that after a short conductor track section, a change to a next level of the circuit board advantageously takes place, a short conductor track section is run through again there and then another switch is made. In this way, a quasi-twisted current conduction is created, which corresponds in principle to a stranded wire, that is to say a multiple bundle of mutually insulated power lines. The winding thus created is thus quasi-twisted.
In Figur 2 ist der gesamte Aufbau des Übertragerkopfes mit die Wicklung tragender Platine 3 gezeigt. Die Platine 3 trägt zusätzlich auch Elektronikbauteile 23 und weist die notwendigen Leiterbahnen auf.In Figure 2, the entire structure of the transmitter head with the winding-supporting board 3 is shown. The circuit board 3 also carries electronic components 23 and has the necessary conductor tracks.
Die Platine 3 und die Ferritkerne 4 sind mit einem Gehäuseteil 21 verbunden, das auch Kühlrippen 22 zur Wärmabfuhr aufweist. In Figur 3 ist ein anderes erfindungsgemäßes Ausführungsbeispiel gezeigt. Dabei liegen auf dem Ferritkern 31 Kunststoffformteile 32 , in deren Vertiefungen die Litzen 33 eingebettet sind. In Figur 3a fehlen die Litzen. In der linken oberen Hälfte der Figuren 3 und 3a ist ein symbolischer Schnitt durch die Kunststoffformteile 32 gezeigt mit der Andeutung zweier eingelegten Litzen 33 . Die Kunststoffformteile 32 erleichtern das Einlegen der Litzen 33. Der Ferritkern 31 ist E-förmig ausgeführt und die Wicklung ist um den mittleren Schenkel des E herum ausgeführt. Dabei sind die drei Schenkel des E sehr kurz ausgeführt, insbesondere so kurz wie die Höhe der Wicklung ist.The circuit board 3 and the ferrite cores 4 are connected to a housing part 21 which also has cooling fins 22 for heat dissipation. Another exemplary embodiment according to the invention is shown in FIG. Plastic molded parts 32 lie on the ferrite core 31 and the strands 33 are embedded in their recesses. The strands are missing in FIG. 3a. In the upper left half of FIGS. 3 and 3a, a symbolic section through the plastic molded parts 32 is shown with the indication of two inserted strands 33. The plastic molded parts 32 facilitate the insertion of the strands 33. The ferrite core 31 is designed in an E-shape and the winding is carried out around the middle leg of the E. The three legs of the E are made very short, in particular as short as the height of the winding.
In der Figur 4 ist der Teil zur induktiven Energieübertragung des Systems gezeigt. Dabei sind im Boden 41 zwei aus Litze ausgeführten Linienleiter 42 eingelegt, die einen gegenseitigen Abstand A von 140 mm aufweisen. Bei anderen erfindungsgemäßen Ausführungsbeispielen sind auch Werte von 100 mm bis 200 mm vorteilig.FIG. 4 shows the part for the inductive energy transmission of the system. In this case, two line conductors 42 made of stranded wire are inserted in the base 41 and have a mutual spacing A of 140 mm. In other exemplary embodiments according to the invention, values from 100 mm to 200 mm are also advantageous.
Der flache, in einem Gehäuseteil 43 vorgesehene Übertragerkopf weist einen maximalen Abstand B zum Boden 41 von 15 mm auf, also etwa ein Zehntel des Abstandes A der Linienleiter. Statt eines Zehntels sind Werte zwischen 7 % bis 12 % vorteilhaft.The flat transmitter head provided in a housing part 43 has a maximum distance B from the floor 41 of 15 mm, that is to say approximately one tenth of the distance A of the line conductors. Instead of a tenth, values between 7% and 12% are advantageous.
Diese genannten geometrischen Merkmale werden bei der Erfindung erreicht, indem die Wicklung flach ausgeführt ist. Die Leitungen der Wicklung liegen dabei in einer Ebene und überkreuzen sich nicht.These geometric features mentioned are achieved in the invention in that the winding is flat. The lines of the winding lie on one level and do not cross each other.
