Description

Flat coil {FLAT COIL}

This specification relates to a planar coil.

A coil is a passive element made by winding a conductor through which current can flow several times. For example, a core coil is a coil made by wrapping a conductor several times around a core in the shape of a bar, cylinder, or cylinder. As another example, an air core coil is a coil made by winding a conductor several times in a cylindrical or circular shape, and there is no core at the center of the air core coil.

When alternating current is supplied to the coil, a magnetic field is formed around the coil, and the magnetic field generates eddy currents in the load placed around the coil. This phenomenon is referred to as electromagnetic induction. Electromagnetic induction can be applied to inductive heating to heat a load placed around a coil or to wireless power transmission to transmit power to a load placed around a coil.

Flat coils are mainly used in induction heating devices or wireless power transmission devices. A flat coil is a type of air core coil and is made by winding a conductor several times in a spiral shape in one dimension. Therefore, a planar coil may also be referred to as a helical coil.

Eddy currents induced by the planar coil may flow in a load provided to face the planar coil. The size of the eddy current induced in the load can vary depending on various factors, such as the type or number of turns of the conductor used in the flat coil.

Meanwhile, when an eddy current is induced in a load by a flat coil, the size of the eddy current induced in the load increases as it approaches the center of the flat coil, and the size of the eddy current induced in the load decreases as it approaches the edge of the flat coil. decreases. Uneven density of eddy currents induced in the load can cause reduced performance of devices that apply electromagnetic induction by planar coils.

The purpose of the present specification is to provide a planar coil in which resistance is reduced by reducing skin effect.

In one embodiment, the planar coil 1 includes a substrate 10 and a conductor layer 20 disposed on at least one of the first surface 11 and the second surface 12 of the substrate 10.

The substrate 10 may be a flat substrate having a first surface 11 and a second surface 12 . Examples of the substrate 10 include a printed circuit board made of a rigid insulating material such as epoxy resin or phenol resin, or a flexible printed circuit board made of a soft insulating material such as polyimide. However, the type of substrate 10 is not limited to this.

Electrical components may be attached, fixed, or mounted on the substrate 10. In one embodiment, a conductor layer 20 made of a conductive material (e.g., metal) is attached, fixed, or mounted on at least one surface of the first surface 11 and the second surface 12 of the substrate 10. It can be.

The conductor layer 20 is a conductor wound with a predetermined number of turns based on the center point C. Although FIG. 1 shows an embodiment in which the shape of the conductor layer 20 is circular, the conductor layer 20 may have a different shape (eg, oval or square) depending on the embodiment.

Figure 1 shows an embodiment in which the conductor layer 20 is disposed on the first side 11 of the substrate 10. However, in another embodiment, the conductor layer 20 may be disposed on the second surface 12, or may be disposed on the first surface 11 and the second surface 12, respectively.

In one embodiment, conductor layer 20 may include multiple conductor tracks. For example, in FIG. 1, the conductor layer 20 includes a first conductor track (T1), a second conductor track (T2), a third conductor track (T3), and a fourth conductor track (T4). The number of conductor tracks included in the conductor layer 20 may be equal to the number of turns of the conductor layer 20. For example, in the embodiment of FIG. 1, the number of turns of the conductor layer 20 is 4, so the conductor layer 20 includes four conductor tracks T1 to T4. The number of conductor tracks included in the conductor layer 20 may vary depending on the embodiment.

In one embodiment, each conductor track may be placed according to a different placement spacing. For example, in FIG. 1, the arrangement spacing (W1) between the first conductor track (T1) and the second conductor track (T2), the arrangement spacing (W2) between the second conductor track (T2) and the third conductor track (T3), The arrangement spacing (W3) between the third conductor track (T3) and the fourth conductor track (T4) may be different.

In one embodiment, as the distance between the center point C of the conductor layer 20 and each conductor track T1 to T4 increases, the arrangement spacing between the conductor tracks T1 to T4 may decrease. In other words, the arrangement spacing between the conductor tracks T1 to T4 may decrease as it moves from the center point C of the conductor layer 20 to the edge of the conductor layer 20. In other words, as the number of turns of the conductor layer 20 increases with respect to the center point of the conductor layer 20, the arrangement spacing between the conductor tracks T1 to T4 may decrease.

For example, in Figure 1, the arrangement spacing (W1) between the first conductor track (T1) whose distance from the center point (C) is D1 and the second conductor track (T2) whose distance from the center point (C) is D2 greater than D1. may be greater than the arrangement spacing (W2) between the second conductor track (T2) whose distance from the center point (C) is D2 and the third conductor track (T3) whose distance from the center point (C) is D3 greater than D2. .

In other words, as the number of turns of the conductor layer 20 increases with respect to the center point of the conductor layer 20, the width of each conductor track T1 to T4 may decrease.

For example, in FIG. 1, the width (P1) of the first conductor track (T1) whose distance from the center point (C) is D1 is the width (P1) of the second conductor track (T2) whose distance from the center point (C) is D2 ( It can be larger than P2).

Therefore, when the flat coil according to the embodiments shown in FIGS. 2 to 8 is used in an induction heating device, the output power value of the induction heating device becomes higher, thereby improving the performance of the induction heating device. Additionally, when the planar coil according to the embodiments shown in FIGS. 2 to 8 is used in a wireless power transmission device, a greater amount of power can be transmitted to the device receiving power.
