Power reception device, power transmission device and vehicle

摘要

A power reception device includes a core unit having a plate-like shape, a plate-like fixing member having the core unit housed therein, a power reception coil, and a temperature measuring unit. Assuming that a side surface wound portion refers to a portion of a side surface of core unit around which the power reception coil is wound, and a center portion refers to a portion located at the center of the side surface wound portion in an extending direction of a coil winding axis and at the center of the core unit in a thickness direction, temperature measuring unit is provided in at least one of a high-temperature region including the center portion of the core unit and a portion around the center portion, and a position on a surface of the fixing member that faces the high-temperature region.

主权项

1. A power reception device that is mounted on a vehicle and receives electric power in a contactless manner from a power transmission device having a power transmission coil, with the power reception device facing the power transmission device, the power reception device comprising:
a core unit having a plate-like shape and including a side surface, an upper surface and a lower surface, the side surface having a planar shape; a plate-like fixing member having the core unit housed therein; a power reception coil spirally wound around a perimeter surface of the fixing member to surround a coil winding axis, the coil winding axis extending in a direction parallel to a frontward-backward direction of a main body of the vehicle; and a temperature measuring unit that measures a temperature of the core unit, the temperature measuring unit is provided in at least one of (i) a high-temperature region including a center portion of the core unit and a portion around the center portion, and (ii) a position on a surface of the fixing member that faces the high-temperature region, wherein a portion of the side surface of the core unit around which the power reception coil is wound is a side surface wound portion, and the center portion of the core unit is located at a center of the side surface wound portion in an extending direction of the coil winding axis and at a center of the core unit in a thickness direction of the core unit.
