Abstract

A receiving device for receiving a magnetic field and for producing electric energy by magnetic induction. The receiving device includes at least one coil of an electric line. The magnetic field induces an electric voltage in the coil during operation. The coil has an inductance. The receiving device and the coil are adapted to receive the magnetic field. The receiving device includes a separating structure. The separating structure includes at least one column made of a solid material. The invention also relates to a method of manufacturing a receiving device and an arrangement including the receiving device.

Claims

1. A receiving device configured to receive a magnetic field and to produce electric energy by magnetic induction, wherein

the receiving device comprises at least one coil of an electric line, wherein the magnetic field induces an electric voltage in the coil during operation and wherein the coil comprises an inductance,

the receiving device and the coil are adapted to receive the magnetic field from a receiving side of the receiving device,

the receiving device comprises a separating structure,

the separating structure comprises at least one column made of a solid material, which column extends in the direction from the receiving side of the receiving device to a side opposite to the receiving side and which separates electric lines or bundles of electric lines of the at least one coil from each other or from further components of the receiving device, wherein

at least one column of the separating structure extends through a cut out of a material layer, which material layer is arranged on the side opposite to the receiving side if viewed from the at least one coil.

2. The receiving device of claim 1, wherein at least one column of the separating structure also separates different regions of magnetic material, which magnetic material is arranged on the side opposite to the receiving side if viewed from the at least one coil.

4. The receiving device of claim 1, wherein at least one column of the separating structure is fixed to a base plate of the separating structure or of a case of the receiving device, the base plate being arranged on the receiving side if viewed from the at least one coil.

5. The receiving device of claim 1, wherein at least one further component of the receiving device is fixed to at least one column of the separating structure.

6. The receiving device of claim 1, wherein the separating structure comprises or is connected to a holding device which is adapted to hold electric lines or bundles of electric lines of the at least one coil in a predetermined position.

13. An arrangement comprising the receiving device of claim 1, further comprising a rectifier, wherein the rectifier is electrically connected to at least one coil of the receiving device and is adapted to rectify an alternating current produced by the at least one coil.

3. (canceled)

7. A method of manufacturing a receiving device configured to receive a magnetic field and to produce electric energy by magnetic induction, wherein

at least one coil of an electric line is provided, wherein the coil comprises an inductance, so that the magnetic field can induce an electric voltage in the coil during operation of the receiving device,

the coil is adapted to receive the magnetic field from a receiving side of the receiving device,

a separating structure is provided,

the separating structure comprises at least one column made of a solid material, which column is arranged so as to extend in the direction from the receiving side of the receiving device to a side opposite to the receiving side and to separate electric lines or bundles of electric lines of the at least one coil from each other or from further components of the receiving device, wherein

a material layer is arranged on the side opposite to the receiving side if viewed from the at least one coil and wherein at least one column of the separating structure is arranged so as to extend through a cut out of the material layer.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein at least one column of the separating structure is arranged so as to also separate different regions of magnetic material, which magnetic material is arranged on the side opposite to the receiving side if viewed from the at least one coil.

10. The method of claim 7, wherein at least one column of the separating structure is fixed to a base plate of the separating structure or of a case of the receiving device, the base plate being arranged on the receiving side if viewed from the at least one coil.

11. The method of claim 7, wherein at least one further component of the receiving device is fixed to at least one column of the separating structure.

12. The method of claim 7, wherein the separating structure comprises or is connected to a holding device which is adapted to hold electric lines or bundles of electric lines of the at least one coil in a predetermined position.
