Solution Overview
Problem
Inductive wireless power transfer (IWPT) systems face interference risks between magnetic fields and electronic components, particularly in the central area of the receiver coil, which complicates simultaneous data communication and power transfer.
Innovation Solution
A specially wound transmitter coil with a halo antenna structure comprising an outer and inner winding, where the inner winding generates a magnetic field opposite to the outer winding to cancel out central magnetic field interference, allowing for reduced magnetic field intensity in the central area.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of energy
If a conventional transmit coil is used for inductive wireless power transfer, then power transmission efficiency is high, but magnetic field interference with electronic components in the central area increases
Solution Approach 1:
The transmit coil is segmented into two distinct windings: an outer winding for generating the magnetic field required for power transmission, and an inner winding for reducing the magnetic field intensity in the central area. This segmentation allows each winding to perform its specific function independently, resolving the contradiction between maintaining power transmission efficiency and reducing magnetic field interference with electronic components.
Solution Approach 2:
The magnetic field characteristics are made non-uniform across different spatial regions. The outer winding generates a strong magnetic field for effective power transmission at the coil edges, while the inner winding creates a opposing magnetic field in the central area to reduce interference. This local differentiation of magnetic field quality allows simultaneous optimization of power transfer and electronic component protection.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If the magnetic field intensity in the central area is reduced, then interference with electronic components decreases, but power transmission capability may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The coil structure is divided into functional segments with distinct roles: the outer winding segment handles power transmission by generating the primary magnetic field, while the inner winding segment handles interference reduction by generating an opposing field in the central area. This functional segmentation ensures that power transmission capability is maintained through the outer winding while the inner winding selectively reduces central area interference.
Solution Approach 2:
The inner winding generates a magnetic field that opposes the outer winding's field in the central area. What appears to be a reduction in overall magnetic field strength is actually a strategic conversion: the harmful central magnetic field interference is converted into a beneficial protective effect, while the outer winding maintains sufficient field strength for power transmission at the coil periphery.
