NON-CONTACT POWER TRANSMISSION APPARATUS
First Claim
1. A non-contact power transmission apparatus comprising:
- a primary coil generating a magnetic flux;
a secondary coil disposed facing the primary coil to receive power in a non-contact manner from the primary coil by electromagnetic induction so that a magnetic flux of the primary coil can pass through the coil;
a magnetic-substance layer disposed to cover a side opposite a side of the secondary coil facing the primary coil so that the magnetic flux of the primary coil that passed through the secondary coil can pass;
a magnet portion disposed to be able to switch two magnetic poles and configured to generate a magnetic flux that is larger than a difference between the maximum value of the first magnetic flux generated at the primary coil and the saturated magnetic flux of the magnetic-substance layer and that passes through the magnetic-substance layer in a direction in which the magnetic-substance layer spreads; and
a magnetic pole switching unit that detects a direction of the first magnetic flux generated at the primary coil, and switches a magnetic pole of the magnet portion to generate a magnetic flux in a direction opposite the direction of the magnetic flux.

Abstract
Provided is a non-contact power transmission apparatus that can be made thinner without any drop in power transmission efficiency.
The non-contact power transmission apparatus includes: primary coil (2) generating a magnetic flux (Φ1); secondary coil (4) disposed facing primary coil (2) to receive power in a non-contact manner from primary coil (2) by electromagnetic induction; magnetic-substance layer (5) that covers a side opposite the side of secondary coil (4) facing primary coil (2) so that the magnetic flux (Φ1) can pass; magnet portion (7) disposed to be able to switch two magnetic poles and configured to generate a magnetic flux (Φ2) that is larger than the difference between the maximum value of the first magnetic flux (Φ1) and the saturated magnetic flux of magnetic-substance layer (5) and that passes through magnetic-substance layer (5) in a direction in which magnetic-substance layer (5) spreads; and magnetic pole switching unit (8) that detects the direction of the first magnetic flux (Φ1), and switches the magnetic pole of magnet portion (7) to generate a magnetic flux (Φ2) in a direction opposite the direction of the first magnetic flux (Φ1).
