Abstract

In a power reception device, a ferrite includes an annular coil mount on which a power reception coil is disposed at the facing surface side, and a projection projecting in a power reception direction from a portion of the coil mount located on an inner side of the power reception coil, a back surface of the ferrite is provided with a hollow portion formed of the projection and the coil mount, the power reception coil is provided at the outer peripheral surface side of the projection, and a filter coil is provided along an inner peripheral surface of the hollow portion.

Claims

1. A power reception device for receiving electric power from an externally provided power transmission device in a wireless manner while being disposed to face the power transmission device, the power reception device comprising:

a power reception coil formed to surround a first winding axis extending in a power reception direction from the power reception device facing the power transmission device toward the power transmission device, the power reception coil being provided with an opening;

a filter coil provided on an inner side of the power reception coil and formed to surround a second winding axis extending in the power reception direction; and

a ferrite on which the power reception coil and the filter coil are disposed,

the ferrite including a facing surface facing the power transmission device, and a back surface located opposite the facing surface,

the ferrite including an annular coil mount on which the power reception coil is disposed at the facing surface side, and a projection projecting in the power reception direction from a portion of the coil mount located on an inner side of the power reception coil,

the back surface of the ferrite being provided with a hollow portion formed of the projection and the coil mount,

the power reception coil being provided at the outer peripheral surface side of the projection,
