System for transferring electrical energy

摘要

A system for transferring electrical power, data or both, by way of magnetic induction between a first article and a second article. A first electrically conductive coil is integrated in the first article and a second electrically conductive coil is integrated to a second article. A fastener comprising ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic material is configured to be positioned through the first coil and the second coil to provide an efficient magnetic conductance path between the first coil and the second coil and to removably secure the first article and the second article together. A control circuit selectively energizes the first coil or second coil with alternating current to transfer electrical energy to the other of said first and second coil.

1. A system for transferring electrical power, data or both, by way of magnetic induction between two separable articles, comprising:
a first electrically conductive coil integrated into the first article, said first coil connectible to electrical components integrated within the first article, a second electrically conductive coil integrated into the second article, said second coil connectible to electrical components integrated within the second article, a fastener comprising a clip formed of ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic material and having two legs which are configured to be positioned through said first coil and through said second coil, respectively, to provide an efficient magnetic conductance path between the first coil and the second coil and to detachably secure the first and second articles together, and a control circuit which selectively energizes said first coil or said second coil with alternating current.
