Abstract

An arrangement place for a device such as a rectifier and a power storage device is easily secured. At the time of power supply using a resonance phenomenon, a power-receiving device generates a magnetic field space having a lower magnetic field strength than other parts at or around the inner side of the power-receiving module, and this magnetic field space is used as the arrangement place of an electronic component. The power-receiving module includes a power-receiving resonance coil which is resonated with a power-supplying module and a power-receiving coil which partly overlaps the power-receiving resonance coil in a coil diameter direction and receives and supplies power from and to the power-receiving resonance coil.

Claims

1. A power-receiving/supplying device comprising:

a coil module configured to receive and supply power from and to another coil module by a resonance phenomenon; and

an electronic component provided in a magnetic field space which is formed by the resonance phenomenon to have a lower magnetic field strength than other parts,

the coil module including;

a resonance coil which is resonated with said another coil module; and

a power-receiving/supplying coil which partly overlaps the resonance coil in a coil diameter direction and is configured to receive and supply power from and to the resonance coil.

2. The power-receiving/supplying device according to claim 1, wherein each of the resonance coil and the power-receiving/supplying coil is a solenoid coil.

3. A portable device comprising the power-receiving/supplying device according to claim 1.

4. The portable device according to claim 3, further comprising an outer wall member exposed to the outside, at least a part of the coil module of the power-receiving/supplying device being provided along a surface shape of the outer wall member.
