Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a power transmission transformer for a noncontact power transfer device, and especially to a power transmission transformer for transferring electric power to a rechargeable battery used as a power supply for a cordless phone, a portable device and the like, the electric power being transferred in a noncontact state without through a metal contact from a power transmission device to a power receiving device by electromagnetic induction.

FIG. 8 shows a noncontact power transfer device using a self-oscillation circuit in a power transmission portion as a circuit scheme which has a simplified configuration and low power consumption. - In
FIG. 8 , apower transmission side 10 which is a power transmission device includes a power transmission transformer T composed of a transmitting coil L1 and a drive coil L2 for self-oscillation, and a switching element Q1 in a power transmission portion. Apower receiving side 20 which is a portable device includes a receiving coil L3 and a rectifying and smoothing circuit, and further a charge control circuit and a rechargeable battery not shown. Then, a winding surface of the transmitting coil L1 and a winding surface of the receiving coil L3 are placed to be opposed to each other in separable housings, and electrical power is transferred. -
FIG. 9 shows an arrangement in which the power transmission transformer T including the transmitting coil L1 and the drive coil L2 in the power transmission portion of thepower transmission side 10, and the receiving coil L3 of thepower receiving side 20 are disposed in such a configuration. - Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-17046 describes a method for transferring electric power to be here described. The transmitting coil L1 is formed of an air-core coil using self-bonding wire. The drive coil L2 is a printed coil formed similarly to a circuit pattern on the surface of the same as a substrate P1 for a peripheral circuit, and a winding surface of the printed coil and a winding surface of the air-core coil which is the transmitting coil are fixed to each other with an adhesive agent or the like across the substrate.
- Further, the receiving coil L3 is formed of an air-core coil composed of the same self-bonding wire as that of the transmitting coil, and the air-core coil is attached on a substrate P2, and has a winding surface thereof placed on the bottom surface side of a housing. A winding surface of the receiving coil L3 and a winding surface of the transmitting coil L1 are placed to be opposed to each other across their own housings, and electric power is transferred from the
device 10 which is the power transmission side to thedevice 20 which is the power receiving side. - According to this method, there is a problem that, when an input direct current (DC) voltage is specified to be low, the drive coil L2 formed of the printed coil has a larger loss.
- Further, when the drive coil L2 is used in a resonance circuit of a ringing choke converter (RCC) which is another self-oscillation circuit, a drive voltage equal to or larger than a gate threshold voltage of a MOSFET is necessary because the drive coil L2 uses the MOSFET as a switching element, and accordingly a winding number has to be increased to form by using the printed coil, and the printed coil itself then becomes large, so that practical application has been difficult.
- Further, if the drive coil L2 is used in a collector resonance circuit, and the transmitting coil L1 is placed on the surface opposed to the printed coil L2 across the circuit substrate, then coupling between the transmitting coil L1 and the drive coil L2 lowers by the amount corresponding to a thickness of the substrate. Thus, it is necessary to increase a winding number for that, and the winding number has to be increased to form by using the printed coil, and the printed coil itself becomes large, so that practical application has been difficult.
- A method, to solve these problems, may be also conceived in that an air-core coil as the drive coil is attached on the surface opposed to the air-core coil of the transmitting coil across the substrate.
- However, the method is not practical because of poor workability in connecting ends of winding wire, and the like, and low reliability of connection.
- The present invention has been made under the above situations, and an object thereof is to provide a power transmission transformer of which workability in implementing and reliability of connection are considered in a noncontact power transfer device using individual self-oscillation circuits.
- The present invention provides a power transmission transformer for a noncontact power transfer device including a transmitting coil and a drive coil for self-oscillation on a power transmission device side, the power transmission transformer including a bobbin in which the transmitting coil and the drive coil are provided in a prescribed location, in which the transmitting coil and the drive coil are configured by an air-core coil using self-bonding wire, and the bobbin includes a winder spindle on both surfaces opposed to each other across a collar formed of a flat plate, and a mating portion for mating with an external portion in one end portion of the winder spindle, and the drive coil is mounted by insertion on the winder spindle on the mating portion side and the transmitting coil is mounted by insertion on the other, opposed winder spindle across the collar.
- Further, the bobbin has: a first bobbin including a winder spindle on both surfaces opposed to each other across a collar composed of a flat plate, and a mating portion in one end portion of the winder spindle; and a second bobbin including a plurality of external terminals and a mating hole in the central portion, in which the drive coil is mounted on the winder spindle of the first bobbin on the mating portion side and the transmitting coil is mounted on the other, opposed winder spindle across the collar, and the first bobbin and the second bobbin are fitted together.
- Furthermore, the bobbin has: a first bobbin including a winder spindle on both surfaces opposed to each other across a plate-like collar, and a mating portion in one end portion of the winder spindle; and a second bobbin including a plurality of external terminals and a mating hole in the central portion, in which the first bobbin and the second bobbin are fitted together, and the drive coil is wound by a predetermined winding number around the winder spindle on the mating portion side, and an air-core coil using self-bonding wire which is the transmitting coil is mounted on the other winder spindle across the collar.
- Because the power transmission transformer for a noncontact power transfer device is configured by using the bobbin, coupling between the transmitting coil and the drive coil can be enhanced by setting a collar thickness of the bobbin to a predetermined thickness, and the winding number of the drive coil can be reduced.
- Further, when the winding number of the drive coil is specified, then the first bobbin and the second bobbin are fitted together, and the drive coil is wound on the collar of the first bobbin, and the second bobbin by a comparatively large winding number, and thereby a coil can be formed.
- Further, the mating portion of the first bobbin may be directly mounted on the circuit substrate, and fitting the first bobbin and the second bobbin together may facilitate implementation on the circuit substrate.
- As described above, the power transmission transformer for a noncontact power transfer device of the present invention can be improved in workability in implementing and reliability of connection by using the first bobbin and the second bobbin.

The transmitting coil has a large winding number, and the drive coil generally has a small winding number to the extent of one turn.
- As a first embodiment, a power transmission transformer T1 which can be directly mounted on the surface of an external substrate will be described with reference to
FIG. 1 . - In
FIG. 1 ,FIG. 1A is a plan view, andFIG. 1B is an elevation view. As shown inFIGS. 1A and 1B , the power transmission transformer T1 is configured in a manner that the transmitting coil L1 is mounted on thecollar 2 of thefirst bobbin 1 and thewinder spindle 1 a above across thecollar 2, and the upper surface of thecollar 2 and a winding surface of the transmitting coil L1 are fixed to each other with an adhesive agent or the like. At this time, a lead L1 a at the winding start of the transmitting coil L1 is disposed along theslit 4 provided in thecollar 2 so as to be drawn outside. - On the one hand, the drive coil L2 is mounted on the
winder spindle 1 b below thecollar 2 in thefirst bobbin 1, and the lower surface of thecollar 2 and a winding surface of the drive coil L2 are fixed to each other with an adhesive agent or the like. At this time, a lead L2 a at the winding start of the drive coil L2 is disposed along theslit 4 provided in thecollar 2 so as to be drawn outside. - Here, in connection to the external circuit, when a mating hole corresponding to the mating portion of the bobbin is provided on the surface of the external substrate (not shown), the first bobbin is directly fitted in the mating hole to be fixed, and the lead L1 a at the winding start and a lead L1 b at the winding end of the transmitting coil L1, and the lead L2 a at the winding start and a lead L2 b at the winding end of the drive coil L2 are electrically connected to a predetermined circuit pattern on the surface of the substrate, respectively, by soldering or the like.
- As a second embodiment, a power transmission transformer will be described when a mating hole or the like cannot be provided in the surface of the external substrate.
-
FIG. 2 shows the assembling of a power transmission transformer T2. InFIG. 2 ,FIG. 2A is an elevation view of the power transmission transformer T2, andFIG. 2B is an elevation view of a second bobbin, andFIG. 2C is a plan view of the second bobbin. - As shown in
FIG. 2 , the power transmission transformer T2 includes asecond bobbin 5 having a plurality of external terminals in addition to the power transmission transformer T1 of the first embodiment. - In the second embodiment, the
mating portion 3 provided in the first bobbin of the power transmission transformer T1 in the first embodiment is fitted in themating hole 6 provided in the second bobbin to be fixed. In addition, when bad fit or the like may be feared at the time of fitting, it may be desirable to fix together with an adhesive agent or the like. - Then, the lead L1 a at the winding start and the lead L1 b at the winding end of the transmitting coil L1, and the lead L2 a at the winding start and the lead L2 b at the winding end of the drive coil L2 are wound around the winding terminals of the second bobbin, respectively.
- For example, the lead L2 a at the winding start of the drive coil L2 is wound around the winding terminal S3 a, and the lead L2 b at the winding end is wound around the winding terminal S4 a, and the lead L1 a at the winding start of the transmitting coil L1 is wound around the winding terminal S2 a, and the lead L1 b at the winding end is wound around the winding terminal S1 a (see
FIG. 3A ). Then, all the terminals are dipped in a static solder bath to be electrically connected. - As described above, the power transmission transformer T2 of the second embodiment, using the
second bobbin 5, can be electrically connected to the external substrate with the external terminals S1 to S4 provided in thesecond bobbin 5. Further, when the external terminals are terminals compatible with surface mounting as shown inFIG. 2 , the power transmission transformer T2 can be electrically connected by reflow soldering or the like at the same time similarly to other surface-mounted electronic components. - As a third embodiment, a power transmission transformer T3 will be described that is most suitable when the drive coil L2 has a comparatively large winding number, and the coil has a degree of freedom of winding.
- In
FIG. 3 ,FIG. 3A is a plan view of the power transmission transformer T3 andFIG. 3B is an elevation view thereof. -
FIG. 4 shows the assembling of the first bobbin and the second bobbin.FIG. 4A shows the first bobbin, andFIG. 4B shows the second bobbin, andFIG. 4C shows that the first bobbin and the second bobbin are fitted together. - As shown in
FIG. 4 , the power transmission transformer T3 is shown inFIG. 4C illustrating that the mating portions of the first bobbin (FIG. 4A ) and the second bobbin (FIG. 4B ) described in the first and second embodiments are beforehand fitted together. - In the power transmission transformer T3, as shown in
FIG. 3 , first, the drive coil L2 is formed by winding urethane-coated electrical conductor around thewinder spindle 1 b of thebobbin 1 by a predetermined winding number. At this time, the lead L2 a at the winding start of the drive coil L2 is disposed along theslit 4 provided in thecollar 2 so as to be drawn outside. The lead L2 b at the winding end upon termination of the winding is wound around the winding terminal S4 a, and subsequently the lead L2 a at the winding start is wound around another winding terminal S3 a. - Then, as the transmitting coil L1, an air-core coil using self-bonding wire is used, and mounted on the
winder spindle 1 a of thefirst bobbin 1, and the surface of thecollar 2 and a winding surface of the air-core coil are bonded together to be fixed. - At this time, the lead L1 a at the winding start of the transmitting coil L1 is drawn from the
slit 4 provided in thecollar 2 and wound around the winding terminal S2 a, and also the lead L1 b at the winding end is wound around the winding terminal S1 a. Then, all the terminals are dipped in a static solder bath to be electrically connected. - Further, in order that the drive coil is formed in a space-wound manner, the drive coil L2 is wound by a predetermined winding number, and then as shown in
FIG. 5A ,insulated wire 9 using resin and insulating coatingelectrical conductor 8 are paired and then as shown inFIG. 5B , the pair of theinsulated wire 9 and the insulating coatingelectrical conductor 8 are wound by level-winding. According to such configuration, coupling of the drive coil with the transmitting coil can be more enhanced than that of close winding. - In addition, also in the air-core coil of the drive coil in the first to third embodiments, an air-core coil may be used in which the insulated wire and the insulating coating electrical conductor are paired, and wound in a spiral form, and then caked with thermoplastic bonding vanish or the like.
- Next,
FIG. 6 shows a power transmission transformer T4 of another embodiment. The embodiment is configured to suppress a loss due to eddy current caused by the fact that unnecessary radiation from the transmitting coil L1 or the circuit pattern of the external substrate is perpendicular to a magnetic field component. - As shown in
FIG. 6 , the power transmission transformer T4 is configured by further providing amagnetic sheet 7 of approximately equal to or larger than an outer size of the collar on the winding surface of the drive coil L2 on the bottom surface side in the power transmission transformers T1, T2 and T3 described in the first to third embodiments. - Materials of the
magnetic sheet 7 are magnetic powder and rubber material (insulating material), and a combination of the materials used may include: Fe—Si—Al alloy (flattened) and polyethylene thermoplastic elastomer (the product “BUSTERAID” from NEC TOKIN Corporation); Mn/Zn ferrite and EPDM (the product “Flexield (IV-M)” from TDK Corporation); and the like. Further, instead of these products, another radio wave absorber having a like, radio wave absorption effect may be used. - Such configuration allows the circuit pattern to be also provided on the surface of the external substrate on which the power transmission transformer is mounted, the size to be made smaller and unnecessary radiation to be suppressed.
-
FIG. 7 shows a configuration to firmly fit thebobbin 1 and thebobbin 2 together, andFIG. 7A is a londitudinal cross-sectional view, andFIG. 7B is a plan view. Themating portion 3 of the first bobbin includes aslit 3 b and a projection 3 a on an end portion of the opposed surface, and themating hole 6 of the second bobbin has adepression 6 a corresponding to the projection 3 a of the mating hole of the first bobbin, and thereby the second bobbin is controlled not to rotate from the first bobbin, and easily combined with the first bobbin by using theslit 3 b. This configuration can be applied to another embodiment. Moreover, a groove or a projection may be provided to prevent displacement, dropping off, and the like. - As described above, because the power transmission transformer for a noncontact power transfer device of the present invention is configured by using the bobbin, the coupling between the transmitting coil and the drive coil can be enhanced by setting a thickness of the collar of the bobbin to a predetermined thickness, and the winding number of each coil can be reduced, and further the coupling can be enhanced by winding the drive coil in an optional manner.
- Furthermore, the mating portion of the first bobbin may be directly mounted on the circuit substrate, and fitting the first bobbin and the second bobbin together may facilitate implementation on the circuit substrate. Moreover, the magnetic sheet may be placed between the drive coil and the circuit substrate, which can suppress an oscillation noise, and prevent the eddy current loss associated with the circuit pattern.
- As mentioned above, the power transmission transformer for a noncontact power transfer device of the present invention can be improved in workability in implementing and reliability of connection by using the first bobbin and the second bobbin.
