According to a first aspect, a secondary side of contactless power transmission apparatus includes: a holding member which is physically separated from a primary side; a magnetic layer; a shield layer for shielding electromagnetic noise; and a heat insulation layer. The secondary coil is a planar coil and supported by the holding member, and at least the magnetic layer is laminated on one side of the planar coil and unified with the planar coil. According to a second aspect, the secondary side of the apparatus includes a plurality of magnetic layers. Each permeability of the magnetic layers is different from each other, and each of the magnetic layers forms a magnetic path with the primary side.

Contactless power transmission apparatus and a method of manufacturing a secondary side thereof

A plane coil which reduces an increase of an effective resistance in a high-frequency area and is made thinner is provided. The plane coil is equipped with plural conductive wires which are parallel to each other, wherein the conductive wires are arranged in a plane and spirally wound, and coil ends of the respective conductive wires are electrically connected to each other at coil lead-out portions and thus are connected in parallel. The conductive wires are arranged in plane, so that a coil thickness does not increase, and the coil is made thinner. Moreover, the plural conductive wires are connected in parallel, an increase of an effective resistance due to an influence of a skin effect in a high-frequency area is reduced.
