Description

本発明は、電磁誘導によって、電力の送電及び受電の少なくともいずれか一方を行うコイルユニットに関する。   The present invention relates to a coil unit that performs at least one of power transmission and power reception by electromagnetic induction.

電磁誘導による非接触送受電システムに用いられるコイルユニットとして、コイルと、コイルに電気的に接続されたコンデンサと、を備えるものが知られている(たとえば、非特許文献1参照)。送電側のコイルと受電側のコイルとの間に比較的大きな空隙が存在するため、結合係数が低く、漏れインダクタンスが大きくなり、給電効率が低下する。そこで、コイルにコンデンサを接続して共振回路を構成し、この共振回路により給電効率の改善を図っている。   As a coil unit used in a non-contact power transmission / reception system using electromagnetic induction, a coil unit including a coil and a capacitor electrically connected to the coil is known (for example, see Non-Patent Document 1). Since a relatively large gap exists between the coil on the power transmission side and the coil on the power reception side, the coupling coefficient is low, the leakage inductance is increased, and the power supply efficiency is lowered. Therefore, a resonance circuit is configured by connecting a capacitor to the coil, and the power supply efficiency is improved by this resonance circuit.

ところで、コイルユニットを搭載する箇所によっては、コイル及びコンデンサを保護するために、コイルユニットに強度が必要となる。   By the way, depending on the location where the coil unit is mounted, the coil unit needs strength to protect the coil and the capacitor.

本発明は、強度を確保することが可能なコイルユニットを提供することを目的とする。   An object of this invention is to provide the coil unit which can ensure intensity | strength.

本発明に係るコイルユニットは、電磁誘導によって、電力の送電及び受電の少なくともいずれか一方を行うコイルユニットであって、コイルと、コイルに電気的に接続されたコンデンサと、非磁性材料からなり、一方に開口を有すると共に、その内部空間が仕切壁部によりコイルが収納される第一収納空間とコンデンサが収納される第二収納空間とに画された筐体と、開口のうち第二収納空間に対応する領域を閉じる蓋体と、を備え、第一収納空間には、第一収納空間に収納されたコイルを覆うように、樹脂が充填されている。   The coil unit according to the present invention is a coil unit that performs at least one of power transmission and power reception by electromagnetic induction, and is composed of a coil, a capacitor electrically connected to the coil, and a nonmagnetic material, A housing having an opening on one side and an internal space defined between a first storage space in which the coil is stored by the partition wall and a second storage space in which the capacitor is stored, and a second storage space in the opening A lid that closes the region corresponding to the first storage space, and the first storage space is filled with resin so as to cover the coil stored in the first storage space.

本発明に係るコイルユニットでは、筐体は仕切壁部を有することとなるため、剛性が高くなり、コイルユニットの強度が向上する。第二収納空間が蓋体により閉じられることにより、コンデンサを保護することができ、第一収納空間に樹脂が充填されることにより、コイルを保護することができる。   In the coil unit according to the present invention, since the housing has the partition wall portion, the rigidity is increased and the strength of the coil unit is improved. The capacitor can be protected by closing the second storage space with the lid, and the coil can be protected by filling the resin in the first storage space.

筐体は、内部空間が複数の仕切壁部により第一収納空間と複数の第二収納空間とに画されていてもよい。この場合、複数の仕切壁部により、筐体の剛性がより一層高くなり、コイルユニットの強度が更に向上する。   In the case, the internal space may be divided into a first storage space and a plurality of second storage spaces by a plurality of partition walls. In this case, due to the plurality of partition walls, the rigidity of the casing is further increased, and the strength of the coil unit is further improved.

コイルユニットCU1(コイルL1)は、電磁誘導によって、コイルユニットCU2(コイルL2)から電力を非接触で受電する。整流器3は、コイルユニットCU1によって取出された交流電力を整流し、整流された電力を蓄電器5へ出力する。蓄電器5は、再充電可能な直流電源であり、たとえばリチウムイオンやニッケル水素などの二次電池が含まれる。蓄電器5として大容量のキャパシタも採用可能である。コイルユニットCU1は、たとえば車体下部に搭載される。   The coil unit CU1 (coil L1) receives electric power from the coil unit CU2 (coil L2) in a non-contact manner by electromagnetic induction. The rectifier 3 rectifies the AC power extracted by the coil unit CU <b> 1 and outputs the rectified power to the battery 5. The battery 5 is a rechargeable DC power supply, and includes, for example, a secondary battery such as lithium ion or nickel metal hydride. A large-capacity capacitor can also be used as the battery 5. The coil unit CU1 is mounted, for example, at the lower part of the vehicle body.

電源13は、車両外部の電源であり、たとえば商用電源である。インバータ部15は、電源13から受ける電力を所定周波数の電力に変換し、変換した所定周波数の電力をコイルユニットCU2へ供給する。コイルユニットCU2は、たとえば地面近傍に設置される。コイルユニットCU2(コイルL2)は、電磁誘導によって、コイルユニットCU1(コイルL1)へ電力を送電する。   The power source 13 is a power source outside the vehicle, for example, a commercial power source.

次に、図2〜4を参照して、コイルユニットCU1,CU2の構成を説明する。図2及び図3は、コイルユニットを示す斜視図である。図4は、コイルユニットを示す分解斜視図である。図3及び図4では、後述する蓋体23及び樹脂45の図示が省略されている。本実施形態では、コイルユニットCU1とコイルユニットCU2とが同じ構造である。   Next, the configuration of the coil units CU1 and CU2 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3 are perspective views showing the coil unit. FIG. 4 is an exploded perspective view showing the coil unit. 3 and 4, the lid 23 and the resin 45 described later are not shown. In the present embodiment, the coil unit CU1 and the coil unit CU2 have the same structure.

コイルユニットCU1,CU2は、上述したコイルL1,L2及びコンデンサC1,C2の他に、筐体21と、蓋体23と、を備えている。   The coil units CU1 and CU2 include a casing 21 and a lid 23 in addition to the coils L1 and L2 and the capacitors C1 and C2 described above.

コイルL1,L2は、コア31に巻回された導線33により構成される。コア31は、フェライトなどの磁性材料からなる。コア31は、平板形状を呈している。導線33には、たとえばリッツ線を用いることができる。コンデンサC1,C2は、複数のコンデンサ素子35により構成される。複数のコンデンサ素子35は、基板37に実装されている。   The coils L1 and L2 are constituted by a conducting wire 33 wound around the core 31. The core 31 is made of a magnetic material such as ferrite. The core 31 has a flat plate shape. For example, a litz wire can be used as the conductive wire 33. Capacitors C <b> 1 and C <b> 2 are composed of a plurality of capacitor elements 35. The plurality of capacitor elements 35 are mounted on the substrate 37.

筐体21は、コイルL1,L2とコンデンサC1,C2とが収納される非磁性材料からなる部材であり、平面視で矩形形状を呈しており、一方に開口を有する有底箱状の部材である。本実施形態では、筐体21は、アルミニウムからなる。筐体21がアルミニウムからなることにより、漏れ磁束を遮蔽して、結合係数を高めることができると共に、軽量化を図りつつ強度を確保することができる。   The casing 21 is a member made of a non-magnetic material in which the coils L1 and L2 and the capacitors C1 and C2 are housed. The casing 21 is a bottomed box-like member having a rectangular shape in plan view and having an opening on one side. is there. In the present embodiment, the housing 21 is made of aluminum. Since the casing 21 is made of aluminum, the leakage magnetic flux can be shielded to increase the coupling coefficient, and the strength can be secured while reducing the weight.

筐体21は、底部21aと、側壁部21bと、仕切壁部21cと、を有している。底部21aは、矩形形状を呈しており、側壁部21bは、底部21aの各辺から底部21aに直交する方向に延びている。仕切壁部21cは、対向する2つの側壁部21bにわたるように、底部21aに直交する方向に底部21aから延びている。これにより、筐体21の内部空間は、第一収納空間S1と第二収納空間S2とに画される。   The housing | casing 21 has the bottom part 21a, the side wall part 21b, and the partition wall part 21c. The bottom 21a has a rectangular shape, and the side wall 21b extends from each side of the bottom 21a in a direction orthogonal to the bottom 21a. The partition wall portion 21c extends from the bottom portion 21a in a direction perpendicular to the bottom portion 21a so as to extend over the two opposing side wall portions 21b. Thereby, the internal space of the housing | casing 21 is demarcated by 1st storage space S1 and 2nd storage space S2.

第一収納空間S1には、コイルL1,L2が収納される。コイルL1,L2は、底部21aの第一収納空間S1に面する領域に配置された載置部25と、載置部25に着脱可能に取り付けられる押え部43とにより、固定されている。具体的には、コア31の端部が載置部25と押え部43とで挟持されることにより、筐体21に固定される。   The coils L1 and L2 are stored in the first storage space S1. The coils L1 and L2 are fixed by a placement portion 25 disposed in a region facing the first storage space S1 of the bottom portion 21a and a pressing portion 43 that is detachably attached to the placement portion 25. Specifically, the end portion of the core 31 is fixed to the housing 21 by being sandwiched between the placement portion 25 and the pressing portion 43.

第一収納空間S1には、第一収納空間S1に収納されたコイルL1,L2を覆うように、樹脂45が充填されている。樹脂45としては、たとえば、エポキシ樹脂などを用いることができる。樹脂45は、第一収納空間S1にコイルL1,L2を収納した後に、硬化前の樹脂45を第一収納空間S1に注入し、その後硬化することにより得られる。   The first storage space S1 is filled with a resin 45 so as to cover the coils L1 and L2 stored in the first storage space S1. As the resin 45, for example, an epoxy resin can be used. The resin 45 is obtained by storing the coils L1 and L2 in the first storage space S1, injecting the resin 45 before curing into the first storage space S1, and then curing.

第二収納空間S2には、コンデンサC1,C2(複数のコンデンサ素子35)が収納される。コンデンサC1,C2は、複数のコンデンサ素子35が実装された基板37を底部21aの第二収納空間S2に面する領域に対して取り付けることにより、第二収納空間S2に収納される。筐体21の開口のうち第二収納空間S2に対応する領域が、蓋体23により閉塞される。蓋体23は、底部21aの第二収納空間S2に面する領域と対向し、筐体21に着脱可能に取り付けられる。蓋体23の材料は、非磁性体であれば特に限られないが、筐体21の剛性を高めるためには、金属製(たとえば、アルミニウム製)であることが好ましい。   In the second storage space S2, capacitors C1 and C2 (a plurality of capacitor elements 35) are stored. The capacitors C1 and C2 are stored in the second storage space S2 by attaching the substrate 37 on which the plurality of capacitor elements 35 are mounted to the region facing the second storage space S2 of the bottom 21a. A region corresponding to the second storage space S <b> 2 in the opening of the housing 21 is closed by the lid body 23. The lid body 23 is opposed to the region facing the second storage space S2 of the bottom portion 21a and is detachably attached to the housing 21. The material of the lid 23 is not particularly limited as long as it is a non-magnetic material, but is preferably made of metal (for example, aluminum) in order to increase the rigidity of the housing 21.

筐体21の一の側面(側壁部21b)には、コイルL1,L2及びコンデンサC1,C2に電気的に接続される複数の配線W1,W2の取出し部47が設けられている。配線W1は、コイルL1,L2(リッツ線)の一端に接続されている。配線W2は、基板37の端子電極(不図示)に接続されており、これによりコンデンサC1,C2(複数のコンデンサ素子35)と電気的に接続されることとなる。コイルL1,L2(リッツ線)の他端は、基板37に配置された端子電極(不図示)に接続されており、これによりコンデンサC1,C2と直列に接続されることとなる。   On one side surface (side wall portion 21 b) of the housing 21, extraction portions 47 for a plurality of wirings W1 and W2 that are electrically connected to the coils L1 and L2 and the capacitors C1 and C2 are provided. The wiring W1 is connected to one end of the coils L1 and L2 (Litz wire). The wiring W2 is connected to a terminal electrode (not shown) of the substrate 37, thereby being electrically connected to the capacitors C1 and C2 (a plurality of capacitor elements 35). The other ends of the coils L1 and L2 (Litz wires) are connected to terminal electrodes (not shown) arranged on the substrate 37, thereby being connected in series with the capacitors C1 and C2.

コイルユニットCU1とコイルユニットCU2とは、筐体21の開口側が互いに対向するように配置される。すなわち、コイルユニットCU1は、筐体21の開口側が下方に向くように車両1に搭載され、コイルユニットCU2は、筐体21の開口側が上方に向くように地面近傍に設置される。   The coil unit CU1 and the coil unit CU2 are arranged so that the opening sides of the housing 21 face each other. That is, the coil unit CU1 is mounted on the vehicle 1 so that the opening side of the casing 21 faces downward, and the coil unit CU2 is installed near the ground so that the opening side of the casing 21 faces upward.

以上のように、本実施形態では、筐体21は、第一収納空間S1と第二収納空間S2とを画するための仕切壁部21cを有することとなるため、剛性が高くなり、コイルユニットCU1,CU2の強度が向上する。第二収納空間S2が蓋体23により閉じられるため、コンデンサC1,C2を保護することかでき、第一収納空間S1に樹脂45が充填されるため、コイルL1,L2を保護することができる。   As described above, in the present embodiment, the casing 21 has the partition wall portion 21c for defining the first storage space S1 and the second storage space S2, so that the rigidity becomes high and the coil unit. The strength of CU1 and CU2 is improved. Since the second storage space S2 is closed by the lid 23, the capacitors C1 and C2 can be protected. Since the first storage space S1 is filled with the resin 45, the coils L1 and L2 can be protected.

本実施形態では、筐体21に蓋体23が取り付けられること、及び、第一収納空間S1に樹脂45が充填されることによっても、筐体21の剛性が高まり、コイルユニットCU1,CU2の強度がより一層向上する。   In the present embodiment, the rigidity of the casing 21 is increased by attaching the lid body 23 to the casing 21 and filling the first storage space S1 with the resin 45, and the strength of the coil units CU1 and CU2. Is further improved.

本実施形態では、第一収納空間S1に樹脂45が充填されていることにより、コイルL1,L2の電気絶縁性を確保することができる。   In this embodiment, the electrical insulation of the coils L1 and L2 can be ensured by filling the first storage space S1 with the resin 45.

本実施形態では、筐体21の一の側面には、コイルL1,L2及びコンデンサC1,C2に電気的に接続される複数の配線W1,W2の取出し部47が設けられている。これにより、コイルユニットCU1,CU2への配線W1,W2の接続を簡易に行うことができ、各種装置への搭載を容易に行うことができる。   In the present embodiment, one side surface of the housing 21 is provided with an extraction portion 47 for a plurality of wirings W1 and W2 that are electrically connected to the coils L1 and L2 and the capacitors C1 and C2. As a result, the wirings W1 and W2 can be easily connected to the coil units CU1 and CU2, and can be easily mounted on various devices.

以上、本発明の好適な実施形態について説明してきたが、本発明は必ずしも上述した実施形態に限定されるものではなく、その要旨を逸脱しない範囲で様々な変更が可能である。   The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above. However, the present invention is not necessarily limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.

上述した変形例では、筐体21の内部空間が二つ仕切壁部21cにより一つの第一収納空間S1と二つの第二収納空間S2とに画されているがこれに限られない。たとえば、筐体21の内部空間が三つ以上の仕切壁部21cにより一つの第一収納空間S1と三つ以上の第二収納空間S2とに画されていてもよい。   In the modified example described above, the internal space of the housing 21 is defined as one first storage space S1 and two second storage spaces S2 by the two partition walls 21c, but is not limited thereto. For example, the internal space of the housing 21 may be defined as one first storage space S1 and three or more second storage spaces S2 by three or more partition walls 21c.

上述した実施形態及びその変形例では、筐体21の材料として、アルミニウムが用いられているが、これに限られない。たとえば、筐体21の材料として樹脂(たとえば、炭素繊維などによる繊維強化プラスチック(FRP)など)を用い、コイルL1,L2が収納される第一収納空間S1に面する領域を覆うように、アルミニウム箔や銅箔などの部材が貼付されていてもよい。   In the above-described embodiment and its modifications, aluminum is used as the material of the housing 21, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, resin (for example, fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) made of carbon fiber or the like) is used as the material of the casing 21, and aluminum is covered so as to cover a region facing the first storage space S1 in which the coils L1 and L2 are stored. Members such as foil and copper foil may be attached.

第一収納空間S1に充填された樹脂45を覆うように、更に、樹脂製の蓋体を設けてもよい。この場合、筐体21の剛性が更に高まり、コイルユニットCU1,CU2の強度がより一層向上する。第一収納空間S1を金属製の蓋体で覆う場合、電力を伝送するための磁路に金属が挿入されることとなり、結合係数が低下してしまう。また、金属によっては、渦電流が生じ、蓋体が発熱する懼れがある。   A resin lid may be further provided so as to cover the resin 45 filled in the first storage space S1. In this case, the rigidity of the casing 21 is further increased, and the strength of the coil units CU1 and CU2 is further improved. When the first storage space S1 is covered with a metal lid, metal is inserted into the magnetic path for transmitting power, and the coupling coefficient is reduced. Further, depending on the metal, an eddy current may be generated and the lid body may generate heat.

本実施形態では、車両に対する非接触給電システムを例に説明したが、本発明はこれに限られることなく、車両以外の移動体や、電気製品などにも適用できる。   In the present embodiment, the contactless power supply system for the vehicle has been described as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and can be applied to a moving body other than the vehicle, an electric product, and the like.

本発明は、非接触給電システムに利用できる。   The present invention can be used for a non-contact power supply system.
