This application relates to the field of wireless charging technologies, and in particular, to a coil module, a wireless charging transmitting apparatus, a wireless charging receiving apparatus, a wireless charging system, and a terminal.
Currently, charging an electronic device by using a wireless charging technology becomes increasingly popular. A device for implementing the wireless charging technology is referred to as a wireless charger. During specific implementation, a wireless charger is provided with a transmitting coil, an electronic device is provided with a receiving coil, an alternating current carried by the transmitting coil in the wireless charger generates a magnetic field, and the receiving coil in the electronic device generates a voltage through magnetic coupling, thereby charging the electronic device.
Because wireless charging is to transmit energy through magnetic coupling between a transmitting coil and a receiving coil, a very strong magnetic field exists between the transmitting coil and the receiving coil. In this case, if a coil winding of a wireless charging coil (that is, the transmitting coil or the receiving coil) is relatively wide, a relatively large eddy current loss is caused in the coil winding when the magnetic field passes through the coil winding. To resolve this problem, as shown in
However, after the cutting opening segments the coil winding into the two small windings with relatively small widths, as shown in
This application provides a coil module, a wireless charging transmitting apparatus, a wireless charging receiving apparatus, a wireless charging system, and a terminal, to resolve a problem of relatively low wireless charging efficiency in the related art. The technical solutions are as follows.
According to a first aspect, a coil module is provided. The module includes a first planar coil winding and a second planar coil winding that are insulated from each other, and the first planar coil winding and the second planar coil winding each include a plurality of coils.
A first coil of the first planar coil winding includes a first outer side part and a first inner side part. An end part of the first coil of the first planar coil winding includes an end part of the first outer side part and an end part of the first inner side part. Between the first outer side part and the first inner side part, there is a gap extending along a coiling direction of the first coil of the first planar coil winding. A first coil of the second planar coil winding includes a second outer side part and a second inner side part. An end part of the first coil of the second planar coil winding includes an end part of the second outer side part and an end part of the second inner side part. Between the second outer side part and the second inner side part, there is a gap extending along a coiling direction of the first coil of the second planar coil winding. The end part of the first outer side part is connected to the end part of the second inner side part, and the end part of the second outer side part is connected to the end part of the first inner side part.
The first coil of the first planar coil winding is an innermost coil of the first planar coil winding, and the first coil of the second planar coil winding is an innermost coil of the second planar coil winding, or the first coil of the first planar coil winding is an outermost coil of the first planar coil winding, and the first coil of the second planar coil winding is an outermost coil of the second planar coil winding.
It should be noted that the first planar coil winding (or the second planar coil winding) is a conductive pattern formed by winding a conductor. The conductive pattern may be a circular ring, an elliptic ring, or the like. Any one of the plurality of coils included in the first planar coil winding (or the second planar coil winding) is formed by evenly winding the conductor 360 degrees.
In addition, the first planar coil winding and the second planar coil winding may be insulated from each other by using an insulating medium. The insulating medium between the first planar coil winding and the second planar coil winding is used to isolate the first planar coil winding from the second planar coil winding, so that parts of the first planar coil winding and the second planar coil winding other than mutually connected parts remain insulated from each other.
In this embodiment of this application, a serial cross-connection structure is formed between the first coil of the first planar coil winding and the first coil of the second planar coil winding. The end part of the first coil of the first planar coil winding is connected to the end part of the first coil of the second planar coil winding. Specifically, the end part of the first outer side part is connected to the end part of the second inner side part, and the end part of the first inner side part is connected to the end part of the second outer side part. In this way, on a plane on which the first planar coil winding (or the second planar coil winding) is located, a projection of a target conducting wire that is constituted by the first outer side part and the second inner side part crosses a projection of a target conducting wire that is constituted by the first inner side part and the second outer side part. In this case, when a magnetic field passes through the gap between the first outer side part and the first inner side part and passes through the gap between the second outer side part and the second inner side part, a direction of an induced current generated on the first outer side part and the second inner side part is opposite to that of an induced current generated on the first inner side part and the second outer side part. Therefore, the induced currents can cancel out at least a part of each other, thereby effectively reducing a circulating current loss in the first planar coil winding and the second planar coil winding, and improving wireless charging efficiency of the coil module.
With reference to the first aspect, in a first possible implementation, the end part of the first outer side part and the end part of the second inner side part are connected to each other through at least one first via hole. Specifically, the at least one first via hole penetrates the end part of the first outer side part and the end part of the second inner side part, and the end part of the first outer side part and the end part of the second inner side part are electrically connected to each other through the at least one first via hole.
With reference to the first aspect or the first possible implementation of the first aspect, in a second possible implementation, the end part of the second outer side part and the end part of the first inner side part are connected to each other through at least one second via hole. Specifically, the at least one second via hole penetrates the end part of the second outer side part and the end part of the first inner side part, and the end part of the second outer side part and the end part of the first inner side part are electrically connected to each other through the at least one second via hole.
In this embodiment of this application, when an insulation layer is disposed between the first planar coil winding and the second planar coil winding, the end part of the first outer side part and the end part of the second inner side part can be easily and quickly connected to each other through the at least one first via hole, and the end part of the second outer side part and the end part of the first inner side part can be easily and quickly connected to each other through the at least one second via hole.

The first connection part is located between the first outer side part and the second inner side part. The end part of the first outer side part and the end part of the second inner side part are connected to each other by using the first connection part.
With reference to the first aspect, the first possible implementation of the first aspect, or the third possible implementation of the first aspect, in a fourth possible implementation, the module further includes a second connection part. The second connection part is located between the second outer side part and the first inner side part. The end part of the second outer side part and the end part of the first inner side part are connected to each other by using the second connection part.
It should be noted that the first connection part is not electrically connected to the second connection part. The first connection part is not electrically connected to a part of the coil module other than the end part of the first outer side part and the end part of the second inner side part. The second connection part is not electrically connected to a part of the coil module other than the end part of the first inner side part and the end part of the second outer side part.
In addition, the first connection part may be a single connection part, or may be formed by sequentially connecting a plurality of connection parts in series in a length direction. The plurality of connection parts may be connected in series through a via hole, or may be connected in series through welding. Similarly, the second connection part may be a single connection part, or may be formed by sequentially connecting a plurality of connection parts in series in a length direction. The plurality of connection parts may be connected in series through a via hole, or may be connected in series through welding.
In this embodiment of this application, the end part of the first outer side part and the end part of the second inner side part can be easily and flexibly connected to each other by using the first connection part, and the end part of the second outer side part and the end part of the first inner side part can be easily and quickly connected to each other through the at least one second via hole.
With reference to any one of the first aspect, or the first to the fourth possible implementations of the first aspect, in a fifth possible implementation, the module further includes a third connection part and a fourth connection part.
Parts in the first planar coil winding other than the first outer side part and the first inner side part include a first segment and a second segment. There is an opening between the first segment and the second segment. The first segment includes a third outer side part and a third inner side part. Between the third outer side part and the third inner side part, there is a gap extending along a coiling direction of the first segment. The second segment includes a fourth outer side part and a fourth inner side part. Between the fourth outer side part and the fourth inner side part, there is a gap extending along a coiling direction of the second segment. Parts in the second planar coil winding other than the second outer side part and the second inner side part include a third segment and a fourth segment. There is an opening between the third segment and the fourth segment. The third segment includes a fifth outer side part and a fifth inner side part. Between the fifth outer side part and the fifth inner side part, there is a gap extending along a coiling direction of the third segment. The fourth segment includes a sixth outer side part and a sixth inner side part.

The fourth outer side part and the sixth outer side part are connected in parallel. The fourth inner side part and the sixth inner side part are connected in parallel. The third connection part is located between the third outer side part and the fourth inner side part. The third outer side part and the fourth inner side part are connected to each other by using the third connection part. The fourth connection part is located between the fifth inner side part and the sixth outer side part. The fifth inner side part and the sixth outer side part are connected to each other by using the fourth connection part.
It should be noted that the first coil of the first planar coil winding and the first coil of the second planar coil winding are in a serial cross-connection structure, and the first and the second segments of the first planar coil winding and the third and the fourth segments of the second planar coil winding are in a parallel cross-connection structure.
In addition, the third connection part is not electrically connected to the fourth connection part. The third connection part is not electrically connected to a part of the coil module other than the third outer side part, the fifth outer side part, the fourth inner side part, and the sixth inner side part. The fourth connection part is not electrically connected to a part of the coil module other than the fifth inner side part, the third inner side part, the sixth outer side part, and the fourth outer side part.
In this embodiment of this application, the third outer side part, the fifth outer side part, the third connection part, the fourth inner side part, and the sixth inner side part form one target conducting wire, and the third inner side part, the fifth inner side part, the fourth connection part, the fourth outer side part, and the sixth outer side part form one target conducting wire. Projections of the two target conducting wires cross each other on the plane on which the first planar coil winding (or the second planar coil winding) is located. In this case, when a magnetic field passes through the gap between the third outer side part and the third inner side part, the gap between the fifth outer side part and the fifth inner side part, the gap between the fourth outer side part and the fourth inner side part, and the gap between the sixth outer side part and the sixth inner side part, induced currents generated on the two target conducting wires are in opposite directions. Therefore, the induced currents can cancel out at least a part of each other, thereby effectively reducing a circulating current loss in the first planar coil winding and the second planar coil winding, and improving wireless charging efficiency of the coil module.
With reference to the fifth possible implementation of the first aspect, in a sixth possible implementation, the first segment and the second segment are located at an Nth coil of the first planar coil winding, the third segment and the fourth segment are located at an Mth coil of the second planar coil winding, the Nth coil is any coil between the innermost coil of the first planar coil winding and the outermost coil of the first planar coil winding, and the Mth coil is any coil between the innermost coil of the second planar coil winding and the outermost coil of the second planar coil winding. One end of the Nth coil extends to one end of an (N−1)th coil in the first planar coil winding, where the (N−1)th coil is located at an inner side of the Nth coil and is adjacent to the Nth coil. The other end of the Nth coil extends to one end of an (N+1)th coil in the first planar coil winding, where the (N+)th coil is located at an outer side of the Nth coil and is adjacent to the Nth coil. The Mth coil has another opening in addition to the opening between the third segment and the fourth segment. One end of an (M−1)th coil in the second planar coil winding passes through the another opening and extends to one end of a Kth coil that is in the second planar coil winding and that is located at an outer side of the Mth coil, where the (M−1)th coil is located at an inner side of the Mth coil and is adjacent to the Mth coil.
In this embodiment of this application, in the first planar coil winding and the second planar coil winding, the (N+)th coil and the Nth coil may be first connected in series, next, the Nth coil and the Mth coil are connected in parallel, and the Nth coil, the (N−1)th coil, and the first coil of the first planar coil winding are sequentially connected in series, then the first coil of the first planar coil winding and the first coil of the second planar coil winding are connected in series, and finally, the first coil of the second planar coil winding, the (M−1)th coil, and the Kth coil are sequentially connected in series.
With reference to any one of the first aspect, or the first to the sixth possible implementations of the first aspect, in a seventh possible implementation, if the first coil of the first planar coil winding is the innermost coil of the first planar coil winding, and the first coil of the second planar coil winding is the innermost coil of the second planar coil winding, the module includes a first conducting wire and a second conducting wire.

One of the first end of the module and the second end of the module is a lead-in end, and the other is a lead-out end.
It should be noted that the first target coil is the last coil, connected in series to an end part of the innermost coil of the first planar coil winding, in the plurality of coils of the first planar coil winding in a sequence from the innermost coil to the outermost coil. In other words, the first target coil is an outermost coil in at least one coil sequentially connected in series to the end part of the innermost coil of the first planar coil winding. The second target coil is the last coil connected in series to an end part of the innermost coil of the second planar coil winding, in the plurality of coils of the second planar coil winding in a sequence from the innermost coil to the outermost coil. In other words, the second target coil is an outermost coil in at least one coil sequentially connected in series to the end part of the innermost coil of the second planar coil winding.
In this embodiment of this application, the first planar coil winding and the second planar coil winding may be connected to an external circuit by using the first conducting wire and the second conducting wire, so that the external circuit can provide electric energy for the first planar coil winding and the second planar coil winding by using the first conducting wire and the second conducting wire, or the first planar coil winding and the second planar coil winding can output electric energy to the external circuit by using the first conducting wire and the second conducting wire.

In addition, a winding direction of the plurality of coils of the first planar coil winding is opposite to a winding direction of the plurality of coils of the second planar coil winding. In this case, a flow direction of a current in the first planar coil winding is the same as a flow direction of a current in the second planar coil winding. In addition, after flowing into the first conducting wire, a current first flows through the first planar coil winding, then flows through the second planar coil winding, and finally flows out of the second conducting wire. Alternatively, after flowing into the second conducting wire, a current first flows through the second planar coil winding, then flows through the first planar coil winding, and finally flows out of the first conducting wire.

Therefore, the induced currents can cancel out at least a part of each other, thereby effectively reducing a circulating current loss in the first planar coil winding and the second planar coil winding, and improving wireless charging efficiency of the coil module.
With reference to the second aspect, in a first possible implementation, the module further includes a third connection part and a fourth connection part.

The third connection part is located between the first outer side part and the fifth inner side part. The first outer side part and the fifth inner side part are connected to each other by using the third connection part. The fourth connection part is located between the first inner side part and the fifth outer side part. The first inner side part and the fifth outer side part are connected to each other by using the fourth connection part.

In this case, when a magnetic field passes through the gap between the first outer side part and the first inner side part and passes through the gap between the fifth outer side part and the fifth inner side part, a direction of an induced current generated on the first outer side part and the fifth inner side part is opposite to that of an induced current generated on the fifth outer side part and the first inner side part. Therefore, the induced currents can cancel out at least a part of each other, thereby effectively reducing a circulating current loss in the first planar coil winding and the second planar coil winding, and improving wireless charging efficiency of the coil module.
According to a third aspect, a coil module is provided. The module includes a first connection part, a second connection part, and a first planar coil winding and a second planar coil winding that are insulated from each other.

The third outer side part and the first inner side part are connected to each other by using the second connection part. One end that is of the third outer side part and that is close to the first inner side part is connected to one end that is of the second outer side part and that is close to the first inner side part.

In this case, the third outer side part and the second outer side part are connected to each other in a cross-layer manner. In this way, a serial cross-connection between the first segment and the second segment in the first planar coil winding can be implemented by using the first connection part and the second connection part. In this case, on a plane on which the first planar coil winding (or the second planar coil winding) is located, a projection of a target conducting wire that is constituted by the first outer side part, the first connection part, and the second inner side part crosses a projection of a target conducting wire that is constituted by the first inner side part, the second connection part, and the second outer side part. In this case, when a magnetic field passes through the gap between the first outer side part and the first inner side part and passes through the gap between the second outer side part and the second inner side part, a direction of an induced current generated on the first outer side part and the second inner side part is opposite to that of an induced current generated on the second outer side part and the first inner side part. Therefore, the induced currents can cancel out at least a part of each other, thereby effectively reducing a circulating current loss in the first planar coil winding and the second planar coil winding, and improving wireless charging efficiency of the coil module.
With reference to the third aspect, in a first possible implementation, the first outer side part, the first connection part, and the second inner side part are integrally formed.

It should be noted that the end part of the first portion and the end part of the second portion that are close to each other are one end that is of the first portion and that is away from the first inner side part and one end that is of the second portion and that is away from the third outer side part. When the end part of the first portion and the end part of the second portion that are close to each other are connected to each other, at least one via hole may penetrate the end part of the first portion and the end part of the second portion that are close to each other. The end part of the first portion and the end part of the second portion that are close to each other may be electrically connected to each other through the at least one via hole.
With reference to the third aspect, the first possible implementation of the third aspect, or the second possible implementation of the third aspect, in a third possible implementation of the third aspect, at least one first via hole penetrates the end that is of the second outer side part and that is close to the first inner side part and the end that is of the third outer side part and that is close to the first inner side part, and the end that is of the second outer side part and that is close to the first inner side part and the end that is of the third outer side part and that is close to the first inner side part are electrically connected to each other through the at least one first via hole.

With reference to any one of the third aspect, or the first to the third possible implementations of the third aspect, in a fourth possible implementation, one end that is of the second inner side part and that is close to the first outer side part is connected to one end that is of the third inner side part and that is close to the first outer side part.
In this embodiment of this application, the second inner side part and the third inner side part are connected to each other in a cross-layer manner. In this way, a serial cross-connection between the first segment in the first planar coil winding and the third segment in the second planar coil winding can be implemented by using the first connection part and the second connection part. In this case, on the plane on which the first planar coil winding (or the second planar coil winding) is located, a projection of a target conducting wire that is constituted by the first outer side part, the first connection part, and the third inner side part crosses a projection of a target conducting wire that is constituted by the first inner side part, the second connection part, and the third outer side part. In this case, when a magnetic field passes through the gap between the first outer side part and the first inner side part and passes through the gap between the third outer side part and the third inner side part, a direction of an induced current generated on the first outer side part and the third inner side part is opposite to that of an induced current generated on the third outer side part and the first inner side part. Therefore, the induced currents can cancel out at least a part of each other, thereby effectively reducing a circulating current loss in the first planar coil winding and the second planar coil winding, and improving wireless charging efficiency of the coil module.
With reference to the fourth possible implementation of the third aspect, in a fifth possible implementation, at least one second via hole penetrates the end that is of the second inner side part and that is close to the first outer side part and the end that is of the third inner side part and that is close to the first outer side part, and the end that is of the second inner side part and that is close to the first outer side part and the end that is of the third inner side part and that is close to the first outer side part are electrically connected to each other through the at least one second via hole.
In this embodiment of this application, the end that is of the second inner side part and that is close to the first outer side part and the end that is of the third inner side part and that is close to the first outer side part can be easily and quickly connected to each other through the at least one second via hole.

A first coil of the first planar coil winding 1 includes a first outer side part 11 and a first inner side part 12. An end part of the first coil of the first planar coil winding 1 includes an end part of the first outer side part 11 and an end part of the first inner side part 12.

It should be noted that the first planar coil winding 1 (or the second planar coil winding 2) is a conductive pattern formed by winding a conductor. The conductive pattern may be a circular ring, an elliptic ring, or the like. Any one of the plurality of coils included in the first planar coil winding 1 (or the second planar coil winding 2) is formed by evenly winding the conductor 360 degrees. Widths of the plurality of coils in the first planar coil winding 1 (or the second planar coil winding 2) may be different. For example, in a sequence from the innermost coil to the outermost coil, the widths of the plurality of coils in the first planar coil winding 1 (or the second planar coil winding 2) may gradually increase, or may first increase and then decrease. It should be noted that the plurality of coils in “the plurality of coils included in the first planar coil winding 1 (or the second planar coil winding 2)” are usually far more than two coils.
In addition, the first planar coil winding 1 and the second planar coil winding 2 may be insulated from each other by using an insulating medium. The insulating medium between the first planar coil winding 1 and the second planar coil winding 2 is used to isolate the first planar coil winding 1 from the second planar coil winding 2, so that parts of the first planar coil winding 1 and the second planar coil winding 2 other than mutually connected parts remain insulated from each other. Specifically, an insulation layer may be disposed between the first planar coil winding 1 and the second planar coil winding 2. In this case, the first planar coil winding 1 may be disposed on a circuit board such as a printed circuit board (PCB) or a flexible printed board (FPC), and the second planar coil winding 2 may also be disposed on a circuit board such as a PCB or an FPC. Alternatively, surfaces of the plurality of coils in the first planar coil winding 1 and surfaces of the plurality of coils in the second planar coil winding 2 may be covered with an insulating substance. In this case, the plurality of coils in the first planar coil winding 1 may be a flat wire, an enamelled wire, or the like, and the plurality of coils in the second planar coil winding 2 may also be a flat wire, an enamelled wire, or the like. When the plurality of coils in the first planar coil winding 1 (or the second planar coil winding 2) are a flat wire, the plurality of coils in the first planar coil winding 1 (or the second planar coil winding 2) may be formed by using a die cut process, an etching method, an electroplating addition method, or the like. When the plurality of coils in the first planar coil winding 1 (or the second planar coil winding 2) are an enamelled wire, the first planar coil winding 1 (or the second planar coil winding 2) may be formed by winding a plurality of conducting wires, and each of the plurality of conducting wires may be a single-strand wire, a stranded wire, or the like. This is not limited in the embodiments of this application.
It should be noted that the gap that is between the first outer side part 11 and the first inner side part 12 and that extends along the coiling direction of the first coil of the first planar coil winding 1 may be formed in a manner such as cutting, chemical corrosion, or parallel winding. Specifically, the first coil of the first planar coil winding 1 may be cut, chemically corroded, or the like, to obtain the first outer side part 11 and the first inner side part 12. In this case, there is a gap between the first outer side part 11 and the first inner side part 12. Alternatively, the first coil of the first planar coil winding 1 may be formed by winding a plurality of conducting wires in parallel. In this case, the first outer side part 11 may be one conducting wire, the first inner side part 12 may be another conducting wire, and there is a gap between the first outer side part 11 and the first inner side part 12.
In addition, the end part of the first outer side part 11 is separated from the end part of the first inner side part 12. One end that is of the first outer side part 11 and that is away from the end part of the second inner side part 22 and one end that is of the first inner side part 12 and that is away from the end part of the second outer side part 21 may be connected to each other by using a part of the first coil of the first planar coil winding 1 other than the first outer side part 11 and the first inner side part 12, or may be connected to each other by using a coil of the first planar coil winding 1 other than the first coil, or may be connected to each other by using a conducting wire connected between the first planar coil winding 1 and a lead-out end or lead-in end of the coil module, or may be connected to each other by using a connection terminal between the coil module and an external circuit, or the like.
It should be noted that the gap that is between the second outer side part 21 and the second inner side part 22 and that extends along the coiling direction of the first coil of the second planar coil winding 2 may be formed in a manner such as cutting, chemical corrosion, or parallel winding. Specifically, the first coil of the second planar coil winding 2 may be cut, chemically corroded, or the like, to obtain the second outer side part 21 and the second inner side part 22. In this case, there is a gap between the second outer side part 21 and the second inner side part 22. Alternatively, the first coil of the second planar coil winding 2 may be formed by winding a plurality of conducting wires in parallel. In this case, the second outer side part 21 may be one conducting wire, the second inner side part 22 may be another conducting wire, and there is a gap between the second outer side part 21 and the second inner side part 22.
In addition, the end part of the second outer side part 21 is separated from the end part of the second inner side part 22. One end that is of the second outer side part 21 and that is away from the end part of the first inner side part 12 and one end that is of the second inner side part 22 and that is away from the end part of the first outer side part 11 may be connected to each other by using a part of the first coil of the second planar coil winding 2 other than the second outer side part 21 and the second inner side part 22, or may be connected to each other by using a coil of the second planar coil winding 2 other than the first coil, or may be connected to each other by using a conducting wire connected between the second planar coil winding 2 and a lead-out end or lead-in end of the coil module, or may be connected to each other by using a connection terminal between the coil module and an external circuit, or the like.
It should be noted that, a current that flows into the coil module from an external circuit or a current generated by the coil module may first flow into the first outer side part 11 and the first inner side part 12 in the first coil of the first planar coil winding 1, then flow to the second inner side part 22 in the first coil of the second planar coil winding 2 from the first outer side part 11 and flow to the second outer side part 21 in the first coil of the second planar coil winding 2 from the first inner side part 12 simultaneously, and finally flow out of the second planar coil winding 2.
Alternatively, a current that flows into the coil module from an external circuit or a current generated by the coil module may first flow into the second inner side part 22 and the second outer side part 21 in the first coil of the second planar coil winding 2, then flow to the first outer side part 11 in the first coil of the first planar coil winding 1 from the second inner side part 22 and flow to the first inner side part 12 in the first coil of the first planar coil winding 1 from the second outer side part 21 simultaneously, and finally flow out of the first planar coil winding 1.
It should be noted that a serial cross-connection structure is formed between the first coil of the first planar coil winding 1 and the first coil of the second planar coil winding 2. Referring to
In a possible implementation, the end part of the first outer side part 11 and the end part of the second inner side part 22 may be connected to each other through at least one first via hole, and the end part of the second outer side part 21 and the end part of the first inner side part 12 may be connected to each other through at least one second via hole.
It should be noted that, the at least one first via hole penetrates the end part of the first outer side part 11 and the end part of the second inner side part 22, and the end part of the first outer side part 11 and the end part of the second inner side part 22 are electrically connected to each other through the at least one first via hole, and the at least one second via hole penetrates the end part of the second outer side part 21 and the end part of the first inner side part 12, and the end part of the second outer side part 21 and the end part of the first inner side part 12 are electrically connected to each other through the at least one second via hole.
In another possible implementation, as shown in
It should be noted that the first connection part L1 and the end part of the first outer side part 11 may be connected to each other through integral forming, welding, a via hole, or the like. A pulse-heated reflow soldering (hot bar) process, a laser welding process, or the like may be used for the welding. Similarly, the first connection part L1 and the end part of the second inner side part 22 may be connected to each other through integral forming, welding, a via hole, or the like, the second connection part L2 and the end part of the second outer side part 21 may be connected to each other through integral forming, welding, a via hole, or the like, and the second connection part L2 and the end part of the first inner side part 12 may be connected to each other through integral forming, welding, a via hole, or the like.
In addition, the first connection part L1 may be a single connection part, or may be formed by sequentially connecting a plurality of connection parts in series in a length direction. The plurality of connection parts may be connected in series through a via hole, or may be connected in series through welding. Similarly, the second connection part L2 may be a single connection part, or may be formed by sequentially connecting a plurality of connection parts in series in a length direction. The plurality of connection parts may be connected in series through a via hole, or may be connected in series through welding.
Moreover, the first connection part L1 is not electrically connected to the second connection part L2. The first connection part L1 is not electrically connected to a part of the coil module other than the end part of the first outer side part 11 and the end part of the second inner side part 22. The second connection part L2 is not electrically connected to a part of the coil module other than the end part of the first inner side part 12 and the end part of the second outer side part 21.
In this case, to ensure that the first connection part L1 is not electrically connected to the second connection part L2, as shown in
In addition, to ensure that the first connection part L1 is not electrically connected to a part of the coil module other than the end part of the first outer side part 11 and the end part of the second inner side part 22, the surface of the first connection part L1 may be covered with an insulating substance, or the first connection part L1 may be separated from the part of the coil module other than the end part of the first outer side part 11 and the end part of the second inner side part 22.
Similarly, to ensure that the second connection part L2 is not electrically connected to a part of the coil module other than the end part of the first inner side part 12 and the end part of the second outer side part 21, the surface of the second connection part L2 may be covered with an insulating substance, or the second connection part L2 may be separated from the part of the coil module other than the end part of the first inner side part 12 and the end part of the second outer side part 21.
It should be noted that, when an insulation layer is disposed between the first planar coil winding 1 and the second planar coil winding 2, the first planar coil winding 1 may be located at one side of the insulation layer, and the second planar coil winding 2 may be located at the other side of the insulation layer. In such a structure, the first connection part L1 and the second connection part L2 may be separately located at different sides of the insulation layer, or may be located at a same side of the insulation layer. In addition, when the first connection part L1 is formed by sequentially connecting a plurality of connection parts in series in the length direction, the plurality of connection parts may be separately located at different sides of the insulation layer, or may be located at a same side of the insulation layer, and when the second connection part L2 is formed by sequentially connecting a plurality of connection parts in series in the length direction, the plurality of connection parts may be separately located at different sides of the insulation layer, or may be located at a same side of the insulation layer.
For example, both the first planar coil winding 1 and the first connection part L1 are located at one side of the insulation layer, and both the second planar coil winding 2 and the second connection part L2 are located at the other side of the insulation layer. For another example, both the first planar coil winding 1 and the second connection part L2 may be located at one side of the insulation layer, and both the second planar coil winding 2 and the first connection part L1 may be located at the other side of the insulation layer. For another example, the first planar coil winding 1 is located at one side of the insulation layer, the second planar coil winding 2, the first connection part L1, and the second connection part L2 are all located at the other side of the insulation layer, and the first connection part L1 and the second connection part L2 are separated from each other. For another example, the first planar coil winding 1, the first connection part L1, and the second connection part L2 are all located at one side of the insulation layer, the second planar coil winding 2 is located at the other side of the insulation layer, and the first connection part L1 and the second connection part L2 are separated from each other.
It should be noted that, when the surfaces of the plurality of coils in the first planar coil winding 1 and the surfaces of the plurality of coils in the second planar coil winding 2 are covered with an insulating substance, the surface of the first connection part L1 and the surface of the second connection part L2 may also be covered with an insulating substance.
In this case, the end part of the first outer side part 11, the first connection part L1, and the end part of the second inner side part 22 may be integrally formed. In this case, the first outer side part 11, the first connection part L1, and the second inner side part 22 may belong to a same conducting wire. In addition, the end part of the first inner side part 12, the second connection part L2, and the end part of the second outer side part 21 may be integrally formed. In this case, the first inner side part 12, the second connection part L2, and the second outer side part 21 may belong to a same conducting wire.
Based on the foregoing structure, wireless charging efficiency may be further improved by using the following three refined structures. The following separately describes the three refined structures.
In a first refined structure, an area of a projection of the gap between the first outer side part 11 and the first inner side part 12 on the plane on which the first planar coil winding 1 (or the second planar coil winding 2) is located is equal to or close to an area of a projection of the gap between the second outer side part 21 and the second inner side part 22 on the plane on which the first planar coil winding 1 (or the second planar coil winding 2) is located.
To be specific, an induced current generated when a magnetic field passes through the gap between the first outer side part 11 and the first inner side part 12 is equal to or close to an induced current generated when a magnetic field passes through the gap between the second outer side part 21 and the second inner side part 22.
It should be noted that “an area of a projection of the gap between the first outer side part 11 and the first inner side part 12 on the plane on which the first planar coil winding 1 is located is close to an area of a projection of the gap between the second outer side part 21 and the second inner side part 22 on the plane on which the first planar coil winding 1 is located” means that a difference between the two areas is less than or equal to a first preset value. The first preset value may be set in advance, and the first preset value may be set to a relatively small value. For example, the first preset value may be 30% of either of the two areas. Certainly, the first preset value may alternatively be another value. This is not limited in this embodiment of this application.
In addition, “an induced current generated when a magnetic field passes through the gap between the first outer side part 11 and the first inner side part 12 is close to an induced current generated when a magnetic field passes through the gap between the second outer side part 21 and the second inner side part 22” means that a difference between the two induced currents is less than or equal to a second preset value. The second preset value may be set in advance, and the second preset value may be set to a relatively small value. For example, the second preset value may be 30% of either of the two induced currents. Certainly, the second preset value may alternatively be another value. This is not limited in this embodiment of this application.
It should be noted that
In a second refined structure, referring to
A quantity of the plurality of parts included in the first coil of the first planar coil winding 1 is the same as a quantity of the plurality of parts included in the first coil of the second planar coil winding 2. Moreover, the plurality of parts included in the first coil of the first planar coil winding 1 are in a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of parts included in the first coil of the second planar coil winding 2. In this case, the coil module may further include a plurality of connection parts. A quantity of the plurality of connection parts is also the same as the quantity of the plurality of parts included in the first coil of the first planar coil winding 1. Moreover, the plurality of connection parts are in a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of parts included in the first coil of the first planar coil winding 1. The end part of the first outer side part 11, the end part of the first inner side part 12, and the end part of the at least one other part of the first coil of the first planar coil winding 1 may be respectively connected to the end part of the second inner side part 22, the end part of the second outer side part 21, and the end part of the at least one other part of the first coil of the second planar coil winding 2 by using the plurality of connection parts. In this way, a serial cross-connection structure is formed between the first coil of the first planar coil winding 1 and the first coil of the second planar coil winding 2, to be specific, projections of a plurality of target conducting wires formed by the plurality of parts included in the first coil of the first planar coil winding 1 and the plurality of parts included in the first coil of the second planar coil winding 2 cross on the plane on which the first planar coil winding 1 (or the second planar coil winding 2) is located. This can not only reduce an eddy current loss by reducing a coil width, but also reduce a circulating current loss in the first planar coil winding 1 and the second planar coil winding 2 by using the serial cross-connection structure, thereby effectively improving wireless charging efficiency.
It should be noted that the plurality of connection parts are not electrically connected to each other, and any one of the plurality of connection parts is not electrically connected to a part of the coil module other than an end part of a part included in the first coil of the first planar coil winding 1 and an end part of a part included in the first coil of the second planar coil winding 2 that are connected to the connection part.
For example, when the first coil of the first planar coil winding 1 further includes one part in addition to the first outer side part 11 and the first inner side part 12, and the first coil of the second planar coil winding 2 further includes one part in addition to the second outer side part 21 and the second inner side part 22, the three parts of the first coil of the first planar coil winding 1 may be respectively connected to the three parts of the first coil of the second planar coil winding 2 by using three connection parts, so that a serial cross-connection structure shown in
For another example, when the first coil of the first planar coil winding 1 further includes two parts in addition to the first outer side part 11 and the first inner side part 12, and the first coil of the second planar coil winding 2 further includes two parts in addition to the second outer side part 21 and the second inner side part 22, the four parts of the first coil of the first planar coil winding 1 may be respectively connected to the four parts of the first coil of the second planar coil winding 2 by using four connection parts, so that a serial cross-connection structure shown in
In a third refined structure, a location of the first outer side part 11 is opposite to a location of the second outer side part 21, and a location of the first inner side part 12 is opposite to a location of the second inner side part 22.
To be specific, a projection of the first outer side part 11 on the plane on which the first planar coil winding 1 (or the second planar coil winding 2) is located coincides with a projection of the second outer side part 21 on the plane on which the first planar coil winding 1 (or the second planar coil winding 2) is located, and a projection of the first inner side part 12 on the plane on which the first planar coil winding 1 (or the second planar coil winding 2) is located coincides with a projection of the second inner side part 22 on the plane on which the first planar coil winding 1 (or the second planar coil winding 2) is located.
It should be noted that, because the first outer side part 11 and the first inner side part 12 belong to the first coil of the first planar coil winding 1, and the second outer side part 21 and the second inner side part 22 belong to the first coil of the second planar coil winding 2, it is relatively easy to dispose the first outer side part 11 and the second outer side part 21 at locations opposite to each other, and dispose the first inner side part 12 and the second inner side part 22 at locations opposite to each other.

In addition, the third connection part L3 is located in the opening between the first segment and the second segment, and the fourth connection part L4 is located in the opening between the third segment and the fourth segment. The third connection part L3 and the third outer side part 31 may be connected to each other through integral forming, welding, a via hole, or the like.

It should be noted that the end part of the first conducting sub-wire d1 is separated from the end part of the second conducting sub-wire d2. One end that is of the first conducting sub-wire d1 and that is away from the end part of the seventh outer side part 71 may be connected to one end that is of the second conducting sub-wire d2 and that is away from the end part of the seventh inner side part 72, to form the first end of the coil module, and the connection may be implemented by using a terminal, to form the first end of the coil module.

In this embodiment of this application, the coil module includes the first planar coil winding 1 and the second planar coil winding 2 that are insulated from each other, and the first planar coil winding 1 and the second planar coil winding 2 each include a plurality of coils. The first coil of the first planar coil winding 1 includes the first outer side part 11 and the first inner side part 12. The end part of the first coil of the first planar coil winding 1 includes the end part of the first outer side part 11 and the end part of the first inner side part 12.

The end part of the first coil of the second planar coil winding 2 includes the end part of the second outer side part 21 and the end part of the second inner side part 22. Between the second outer side part 21 and the second inner side part 22, there is the gap extending along the coiling direction of the first coil of the second planar coil winding 2. The end part of the first outer side part 11 is connected to the end part of the second inner side part 22, and the end part of the second outer side part 21 is connected to the end part of the first inner side part 12. In this way, on the plane on which the first planar coil winding 1 (or the second planar coil winding 2) is located, the projection of the target conducting wire that is constituted by the first outer side part 11 and the second inner side part 22 crosses the projection of the target conducting wire that is constituted by the first inner side part 12 and the second outer side part 21. In this case, when a magnetic field passes through the gap between the first outer side part 11 and the first inner side part 12 and passes through the gap between the second outer side part 21 and the second inner side part 22, a direction of an induced current generated on the first outer side part 11 and the second inner side part 22 is opposite to that of an induced current generated on the first inner side part 12 and the second outer side part 21. Therefore, the induced currents can cancel out at least a part of each other, thereby effectively reducing a circulating current loss in the first planar coil winding 1 and the second planar coil winding 2, and improving wireless charging efficiency of the coil module.

Between the fourth outer side part 41 and the fourth inner side part 42, there is a gap extending along a coiling direction of the fourth segment. A first end of the third segment is an end part of the innermost coil of the second planar coil winding 2. A second end of the third segment is opposite to the first end of the third segment and is close to a first end of the fourth segment.

One of the first end of the coil module and the second end of the coil module is a lead-in end, and the other is a lead-out end.
It should be noted that a current that flows into the coil module from an external circuit or a current generated by the coil module may flow into the first conducting wire D1, then flow from the first conducting wire D1 into the second end of the first segment of the first planar coil winding 1, then flow to the second inner side part 22 in the second segment of the first planar coil winding 1 and the fourth inner side part 42 in the fourth segment of the second planar coil winding 2 from the first outer side part 11 in the first segment and the third outer side part 31 in the third segment of the second planar coil winding 2 through the first connection part L1, and simultaneously flow to the second outer side part 21 in the second segment of the first planar coil winding 1 and the fourth outer side part 41 in the fourth segment of the second planar coil winding 2 from the first inner side part 12 in the first segment and the third inner side part 32 in the third segment of the second planar coil winding 2 through the second connection part L2, then flow from the second end of the fourth segment to the second conducting wire D2, and finally flow out of the second conducting wire D2.
Alternatively, a current that flows into the coil module from an external circuit or a current generated by the coil module may flow into the second conducting wire D2, then flow from the second conducting wire D2 into the second end of the fourth segment of the second planar coil winding 2, then flow to the third inner side part 32 in the third segment of the second planar coil winding 2 and the first inner side part 12 in the first segment of the first planar coil winding 1 from the fourth outer side part 41 in the fourth segment and the second outer side part 21 in the second segment of the first planar coil winding 1 through the second connection part L1, and simultaneously flow to the third outer side part 31 in the third segment of the second planar coil winding 2 and the first outer side part 11 in the first segment of the first planar coil winding 1 from the fourth inner side part 42 in the fourth segment and the second inner side part 22 in the second segment of the first planar coil winding 1 through the first connection part L1, then flow from the second end of the first segment to the first conducting wire D1, and finally flow out of the first conducting wire D1.
It should be noted that the first planar coil winding 1 (or the second planar coil winding 2) is a conductive pattern formed by winding a conductor. The conductive pattern may be a circular ring, an elliptic ring, or the like. Any one of the plurality of coils included in the first planar coil winding 1 (or the second planar coil winding 2) is formed by evenly winding the conductor 360 degrees. Widths of the plurality of coils in the first planar coil winding 1 (or the second planar coil winding 2) may be different. For example, in a sequence from the innermost coil to an outermost coil, the widths of the plurality of coils in the first planar coil winding 1 (or the second planar coil winding 2) may gradually increase, or may first increase and then decrease.
In addition, the first planar coil winding 1 and the second planar coil winding 2 may be insulated from each other by using an insulating medium. The insulating medium between the first planar coil winding 1 and the second planar coil winding 2 is used to isolate the first planar coil winding 1 from the second planar coil winding 2, so that parts of the first planar coil winding 1 and the second planar coil winding 2 other than mutually connected parts remain insulated from each other. Specifically, an insulation layer may be disposed between the first planar coil winding 1 and the second planar coil winding 2. In this case, the first planar coil winding 1 may be disposed on a circuit board such as a PCB or an FPC, and the second planar coil winding 2 may also be disposed on a circuit board such as a PCB or an FPC. Alternatively, surfaces of the plurality of coils in the first planar coil winding 1 and surfaces of the plurality of coils in the second planar coil winding 2 may be covered with an insulating substance. In this case, the plurality of coils in the first planar coil winding 1 may be a flat wire, an enamelled wire, or the like, and the plurality of coils in the second planar coil winding 2 may also be a flat wire, an enamelled wire, or the like. When the plurality of coils in the first planar coil winding 1 (or the second planar coil winding 2) are a flat wire, the plurality of coils in the first planar coil winding 1 (or the second planar coil winding 2) may be formed by using a die cut process, an etching method, an electroplating addition method, or the like. When the plurality of coils in the first planar coil winding 1 (or the second planar coil winding 2) are an enamelled wire, the first planar coil winding 1 (or the second planar coil winding 2) may be formed by winding a plurality of conducting wires, and each of the plurality of conducting wires may be a single-strand wire, a stranded wire, or the like. This is not limited in this embodiment of this application.
It should be noted that the gap that is between the first outer side part 11 and the first inner side part 12 and that extends along the coiling direction of the first segment of the innermost coil of the first planar coil winding 1 may be formed in a manner such as cutting, chemical corrosion, or parallel winding. Specifically, the first segment of the innermost coil of the first planar coil winding 1 may be cut, chemically corroded, or the like, to obtain the first outer side part 11 and the first inner side part 12. In this case, there is a gap between the first outer side part 11 and the first inner side part 12. Alternatively, the first segment of the innermost coil of the first planar coil winding 1 may be formed by winding a plurality of conducting wires in parallel. In this case, the first outer side part n may be one conducting wire, the first inner side part 12 may be another conducting wire, and there is a gap between the first outer side part n and the first inner side part 12.
In addition, one end that is of the first outer side part 11 and that is close to the second inner side part 22 is separated from one end that is of the first inner side part 12 and that is close to the second inner side part 22. One end that is of the first outer side part 1 and that is away from the second inner side part 22 and one end that is of the first inner side part 12 and that is away from the second inner side part 22 may be connected to each other by using a part of the innermost coil of the first planar coil winding 1 other than the first segment and the second segment, or may be connected to each other by using a coil of the first planar coil winding 1 other than the innermost coil, or may be connected to each other by using a conducting wire connected between the first planar coil winding 1 and a lead-out end or lead-in end of the coil module, or may be connected to each other by using a connection terminal between the coil module and an external circuit, or the like.
It should be noted that the gap that is between the second outer side part 21 and the second inner side part 22 and that extends along the coiling direction of the second segment of the innermost coil of the first planar coil winding 1 may be formed in a manner such as cutting, chemical corrosion, or parallel winding. Specifically, the second segment of the innermost coil of the first planar coil winding 1 may be cut, chemically corroded, or the like, to obtain the second outer side part 21 and the second inner side part 22. In this case, there is a gap between the second outer side part 21 and the second inner side part 22. Alternatively, the second segment of the innermost coil of the first planar coil winding 1 may be formed by winding a plurality of conducting wires in parallel. In this case, the second outer side part 21 may be one conducting wire, the second inner side part 22 may be another conducting wire, and there is a gap between the second outer side part 21 and the second inner side part 22.
In addition, one end that is of the second outer side part 21 and that is close to the first outer side part 11 is separated from one end that is of the second inner side part 22 and that is close to the first outer side part 11. One end that is of the second outer side part 21 and that is away from the first outer side part 11 and one end that is of the second inner side part 22 and that is away from the first outer side part 11 may be connected to each other by using a part of the innermost coil of the first planar coil winding 1 other than the first segment and the second segment, or may be connected to each other by using a coil of the first planar coil winding 1 other than the innermost coil, or may be connected to each other by using a conducting wire connected between the first planar coil winding 1 and the lead-out end or lead-in end of the coil module, or may be connected to each other by using a connection terminal between the coil module and an external circuit, or the like.
It should be noted that the gap that is between the third outer side part 31 and the third inner side part 32 and that extends along the coiling direction of the third segment of the innermost coil of the second planar coil winding 2 may be formed in a manner such as cutting, chemical corrosion, or parallel winding. Specifically, the third segment of the innermost coil of the second planar coil winding 2 may be cut, chemically corroded, or the like, to obtain the third outer side part 31 and the third inner side part 32. In this case, there is a gap between the third outer side part 31 and the third inner side part 32. Alternatively, the third segment of the innermost coil of the second planar coil winding 2 may be formed by winding a plurality of conducting wires in parallel. In this case, the third outer side part 31 may be one conducting wire, the third inner side part 32 may be another conducting wire, and there is a gap between the third outer side part 31 and the third inner side part 32.
In addition, one end that is of the third outer side part 31 and that is close to the fourth outer side part 41 is separated from one end that is of the third inner side part 32 and that is close to the fourth outer side part 41. One end that is of the third outer side part 31 and that is away from the fourth outer side part 41 and one end that is of the third inner side part 32 and that is away from the fourth outer side part 41 may be connected to each other by using a part of the innermost coil of the second planar coil winding 2 other than the third segment and the fourth segment, or may be connected to each other by using a coil of the second planar coil winding 2 other than the innermost coil, or may be connected to each other by using a conducting wire connected between the second planar coil winding 2 and the lead-out end or lead-in end of the coil module, or may be connected to each other by using a connection terminal between the coil module and an external circuit, or the like.
It should be noted that the gap that is between the fourth outer side part 41 and the fourth inner side part 42 and that extends along the coiling direction of the fourth segment of the innermost coil of the second planar coil winding 2 may be formed in a manner such as cutting, chemical corrosion, or parallel winding. Specifically, the fourth segment of the innermost coil of the second planar coil winding 2 may be cut, chemically corroded, or the like, to obtain the fourth outer side part 41 and the fourth inner side part 42. In this case, there is a gap between the fourth outer side part 41 and the fourth inner side part 42. Alternatively, the fourth segment of the innermost coil of the second planar coil winding 2 may be formed by winding a plurality of conducting wires in parallel. In this case, the fourth outer side part 41 may be one conducting wire, the fourth inner side part 42 may be another conducting wire, and there is a gap between the fourth outer side part 41 and the fourth inner side part 42.
In addition, one end that is of the fourth outer side part 41 and that is close to the third inner side part 32 is separated from one end that is of the fourth inner side part 42 and that is close to the third inner side part 32. One end that is of the fourth outer side part 41 and that is away from the third inner side part 32 and one end that is of the fourth inner side part 42 and that is away from the third inner side part 32 may be connected to each other by using a part of the innermost coil of the second planar coil winding 2 other than the third segment and the fourth segment, or may be connected to each other by using a coil of the second planar coil winding 2 other than the innermost coil, or may be connected to each other by using a conducting wire connected between the second planar coil winding 2 and the lead-out end or lead-in end of the coil module, or may be connected to each other by using a connection terminal between the coil module and an external circuit, or the like.
It should be noted that, when the other end of the first conducting wire D1 is connected to the second end of the first segment, one or more coils may be connected between the other end of the first conducting wire D1 and the second end of the first segment, and the other end of the first conducting wire D1 may be connected to the second end of the first segment by using the one or more coils. Specifically, the other end of the first conducting wire D1 may be connected to an end part of a first target coil. The first target coil is the last coil connected in series to the second end of the first segment, in the plurality of coils of the first planar coil winding 1 in a sequence from the innermost coil to the outermost coil. In other words, the first target coil is an outermost coil in at least one coil connected in series to the second end of the first segment, in the plurality of coils of the first planar coil winding 1.
In addition, when the other end of the second conducting wire D2 is connected to the second end of the fourth segment, one or more coils may be connected between the other end of the second conducting wire D2 and the second end of the fourth segment, and the other end of the second conducting wire D2 may be connected to the second end of the fourth segment by using the one or more coils. Specifically, the other end of the second conducting wire D2 may be connected to an end part of a second target coil. The second target coil is the last coil connected in series to the second end of the fourth segment, in the plurality of coils of the second planar coil winding 2 in a sequence from the innermost coil to the outermost coil. In other words, the second target coil is an outermost coil in at least one coil connected in series to the second end of the fourth segment, in the plurality of coils of the second planar coil winding 2.
It should be noted that the first connection part L1 is located in the opening between the first segment and the second segment, and the second connection part L2 is located in the opening between the third segment and the fourth segment. The first outer side part 11 and the first connection part L1 may be connected to each other through integral forming, welding, or the like. The first connection part L1 and the second inner side part 22 may also be connected to each other through integral forming, welding, or the like. When the first outer side part 11, the first connection part L1, and the second inner side part 22 are integrally formed, the first outer side part 11, the first connection part L1, and the second inner side part 22 belong to a same conducting wire. The third inner side part 32 and the second connection part L2 may be connected to each other through integral forming, welding, or the like. The second connection part L2 and the fourth outer side part 41 may also be connected to each other through integral forming, welding, or the like. When the third inner side part 32, the second connection part L2, and the fourth outer side part 41 are integrally formed, the third inner side part 32, the second connection part L2, and the fourth outer side part 41 belong to a same conducting wire.
Moreover, the first connection part L1 is not electrically connected to the second connection part L2. The first connection part L1 is not electrically connected to a part of the coil module other than the first outer side part 11 and the second inner side part 22. The second connection part L2 is not electrically connected to a part of the coil module other than the third inner side part 32 and the fourth outer side part 41.
In addition, when the first outer side part 11 and the third outer side part 31 are connected in parallel, the first outer side part 11 and the third outer side part 31 may be connected in parallel through at least two via holes. Specifically, at least one first via hole penetrates a first end of the first outer side part 11 and a first end of the third outer side part 31, and the first end of the first outer side part 11 is electrically connected to the first end of the third outer side part 31 through the at least one first via hole, at least one second via hole penetrates a second end of the first outer side part 11 and a second end of the third outer side part 31, and the second end of the first outer side part 11 is electrically connected to the second end of the third outer side part 31 through the at least one second via hole. In this way, the first outer side part 11 and the third outer side part 31 are connected in parallel. A manner in which the first inner side part 12 and the third inner side part 32 are connected in parallel, a manner in which the second outer side part 21 and the fourth outer side part 41 are connected in parallel, and a manner in which the second inner side part 22 and the fourth inner side part 42 are connected in parallel are similar to a manner in which the first outer side part 11 and the third outer side part 31 are connected in parallel. Details are not described in this embodiment of this application again.
It should be noted that a winding direction of the plurality of coils of the first planar coil winding 1 is opposite to a winding direction of the plurality of coils of the second planar coil winding 2. In this case, a flow direction of a current in the first planar coil winding 1 is the same as a flow direction of a current in the second planar coil winding 2. In addition, after flowing into the first conducting wire D1, a current first flows through the first planar coil winding 1, then flows through the second planar coil winding 2, and finally flows out of the second conducting wire D2. Alternatively, after flowing into the second conducting wire D2, a current first flows through the second planar coil winding 2, then flows through the first planar coil winding 1, and finally flows out of the first conducting wire D1.
It should be noted that a parallel cross-connection structure is formed between the innermost coil of the first planar coil winding 1 and the innermost coil of the second planar coil winding 2. To be specific, the first outer side part 11, the third outer side part 31, the first connection part L1, the second inner side part 22, and the fourth inner side part 42 form one target conducting wire, and the first inner side part 12, the third inner side part 32, the second connection part L2, the second outer side part 21, and the fourth outer side part 41 form one target conducting wire. Projections of the two target conducting wires cross each other on a plane on which the first planar coil winding 1 (or the second planar coil winding 2) is located. In this case, when a magnetic field passes through the gap between the first outer side part 11 and the first inner side part 12, the gap between the third outer side part 31 and the third inner side part 32, the gap between the second outer side part 21 and the second inner side part 22, and the gap between the fourth outer side part 41 and the fourth inner side part 42, induced currents generated on the two target conducting wires are in opposite directions. Therefore, the induced currents can cancel out at least a part of each other, thereby effectively reducing a circulating current loss in the first planar coil winding 1 and the second planar coil winding 2, and improving wireless charging efficiency of the coil module.

A target coil of the first planar coil winding 1 includes a fifth segment. There is an opening between the fifth segment and the first segment. The fifth segment includes a fifth outer side part 51 and a fifth inner side part 52. The target coil is a coil in the first planar coil winding 1, at an outer side of the innermost coil of the first planar coil winding 1, and adjacent to the innermost coil of the first planar coil winding 1. Between the fifth outer side part 51 and the fifth inner side part 52, there is a gap extending along a coiling direction of the target coil. The other end of the first conducting wire D1 is connected to the second end of the first segment by using the target coil.
The third connection part L3 is located between the first outer side part 11 and the fifth inner side part 52. The first outer side part 11 and the fifth inner side part 52 are connected to each other by using the third connection part L3. The fourth connection part L4 is located between the first inner side part 12 and the fifth outer side part 51. The first inner side part 12 and the fifth outer side part 51 are connected to each other by using the fourth connection part L4.
It should be noted that both the third connection part L3 and the fourth connection part L4 are located in the opening between the fifth segment and the first segment. The third connection part L3 is not electrically connected to the fourth connection part L4. The third connection part L3 is not electrically connected to a part of the coil module other than the first outer side part 11, the third outer side part 31, and the fifth inner side part 52. The fourth connection part L4 is not electrically connected to a part of the coil module other than the first inner side part 12, the third inner side part 32, and the fifth outer side part 51.
In addition, the first inner side part 12, the fourth connection part L4, and the fifth outer side part 51 may be integrally formed. The third connection part L3 includes a first portion and a second portion that are separated from each other. The first portion and the fifth inner side part 52 are integrally formed, and the second portion and the third outer side part 31 are integrally formed. An end part of the first portion and an end part of the second portion that are close to each other (that is, one end that is of the first portion and that is away from the fifth inner side part 52, and one end that is of the second portion and that is away from the third outer side part 31) are connected to each other. For example, at least one via hole may penetrate the end part of the first portion and the end part of the second portion that are close to each other, and the end part of the first portion and the end part of the second portion that are close to each other may be electrically connected to each other through the at least one via hole.
It should be noted that, on the plane on which the first planar coil winding 1 (or the second planar coil winding 2) is located, a projection of a target conducting wire that is constituted by the first outer side part 11, the third connection part L3, and the fifth inner side part 52 crosses a projection of a target conducting wire that is constituted by the first inner side part 12, the fourth connection part L4, and the fifth outer side part 51. In this case, when a magnetic field passes through the gap between the first outer side part 11 and the first inner side part 12 and passes through the gap between the fifth outer side part 51 and the fifth inner side part 52, a direction of an induced current generated on the first outer side part 11 and the fifth inner side part 52 is opposite to that of an induced current generated on the fifth outer side part 51 and the first inner side part 12. Therefore, the induced currents can cancel out at least a part of each other, thereby effectively reducing a circulating current loss in the first planar coil winding 1 and the second planar coil winding 2, and improving wireless charging efficiency of the coil module.

One of the first end of the coil module and the second end of the coil module is the lead-in end, and the other is the lead-out end. In this way, the first outer side part 11, the third outer side part 31, the first connection part L1, the second inner side part 22, and the fourth inner side part 42 form one target conducting wire, and the first inner side part 12, the third inner side part 32, the second connection part L2, the second outer side part 21, and the fourth outer side part 41 form one target conducting wire. Projections of the two target conducting wires cross each other on the plane on which the first planar coil winding 1 (or the second planar coil winding 2) is located.

Therefore, the induced currents can cancel out at least a part of each other, thereby effectively reducing a circulating current loss in the first planar coil winding 1 and the second planar coil winding 2, and improving wireless charging efficiency of the coil module.

One end that is of the third outer side part 31 and that is close to the first inner side part 12 is connected to one end that is of the second outer side part 21 and that is close to the first inner side part 12.
It should be noted that a current that flows into the coil module from an external circuit or a current generated by the coil module may flow into the first outer side part 11 and the first inner side part 12 in the first segment of the first planar coil winding 1, then flow to the second inner side part 22 in the second segment of the first planar coil winding 1 from the first outer side part 11 through the first connection part L1, and flow to the third outer side part 31 in the third segment of the second planar coil winding 2 from the first inner side part 12 through the second connection part L2 simultaneously, then flow to the end that is of the second outer side part 21 and that is close to the first inner side part 12 from the end that is of the third outer side part 31 and that is close to the first inner side part 12, then flow to the second planar coil winding 2 from the second inner side part 22 and the second outer side part 21, and finally flow out of the second planar coil winding 2.
Alternatively, a current that flows into the coil module from an external circuit or a current generated by the coil module may flow into the second planar coil winding 2, then flow to the second outer side part 21 and the second inner side part 22 in the second segment of the first planar coil winding 1 from the second planar coil winding 2, then flow to the first outer side part 11 in the first segment of the first planar coil winding 1 from the second inner side part 22 through the first connection part L1, and flow to the end that is of the third outer side part 31 and that is close to the first inner side part 12 from the end that is of the second outer side part 21 and that is close to the first inner side part 12, simultaneously, then flow to the first inner side part 12 in the first segment of the first planar coil winding 1 from the third outer side part 31 through the second connection part L2, and finally flow out of the first planar coil winding 1.
It should be noted that the first planar coil winding 1 (or the second planar coil winding 2) is a conductive pattern formed by winding a conductor. The conductive pattern may be a circular ring, an elliptic ring, or the like. Any one of the plurality of coils included in the first planar coil winding 1 (or the second planar coil winding 2) is formed by evenly winding the conductor 360 degrees. Widths of the plurality of coils in the first planar coil winding 1 (or the second planar coil winding 2) may be different. For example, in a sequence from an innermost coil to an outermost coil, the widths of the plurality of coils in the first planar coil winding 1 (or the second planar coil winding 2) may gradually increase, or may first increase and then decrease.
In addition, the first planar coil winding 1 and the second planar coil winding 2 may be insulated from each other by using an insulating medium. The insulating medium between the first planar coil winding 1 and the second planar coil winding 2 is used to isolate the first planar coil winding 1 from the second planar coil winding 2, so that parts of the first planar coil winding 1 and the second planar coil winding 2 other than mutually connected parts remain insulated from each other. Specifically, an insulation layer may be disposed between the first planar coil winding 1 and the second planar coil winding 2. In this case, the first planar coil winding 1 may be disposed on a circuit board such as a PCB or an FPC, and the second planar coil winding 2 may also be disposed on a circuit board such as a PCB or an FPC. Alternatively, surfaces of the plurality of coils in the first planar coil winding 1 and surfaces of the plurality of coils in the second planar coil winding 2 may be covered with an insulating substance. In this case, the plurality of coils in the first planar coil winding 1 may be a flat wire, an enamelled wire, or the like, and the plurality of coils in the second planar coil winding 2 may also be a flat wire, an enamelled wire, or the like. When the plurality of coils in the first planar coil winding 1 (or the second planar coil winding 2) are a flat wire, the plurality of coils in the first planar coil winding 1 (or the second planar coil winding 2) may be formed by using a die cut process, an etching method, an electroplating addition method, or the like. When the plurality of coils in the first planar coil winding 1 (or the second planar coil winding 2) are an enamelled wire, the first planar coil winding 1 (or the second planar coil winding 2) may be formed by winding a plurality of conducting wires, and each of the plurality of conducting wires may be a single-strand wire, a stranded wire, or the like. This is not limited in this embodiment of this application.
It should be noted that the gap that is between the first outer side part 11 and the first inner side part 12 and that extends along the coiling direction of the first segment may be formed in a manner such as cutting, chemical corrosion, or parallel winding. Specifically, the first segment may be cut, chemically corroded, or the like, to obtain the first outer side part 11 and the first inner side part 12. In this case, there is a gap between the first outer side part 11 and the first inner side part 12. Alternatively, the first segment may be formed by winding a plurality of conducting wires in parallel. In this case, the first outer side part 11 may be one conducting wire, the first inner side part 12 may be another conducting wire, and there is a gap between the first outer side part 11 and the first inner side part 12.
In addition, one end that is of the first outer side part 11 and that is close to the second inner side part 22 is separated from one end that is of the first inner side part 12 and that is close to the second inner side part 22. One end that is of the first outer side part 11 and that is away from the second inner side part 22 and one end that is of the first inner side part 12 and that is away from the second inner side part 22 may be connected to each other by using a part of the first planar coil winding 1 other than the first segment and the second segment, or may be connected to each other by using a conducting wire connected between the first planar coil winding 1 and a lead-out end or lead-in end of the coil module, or may be connected to each other by using a connection terminal between the coil module and an external circuit, or the like.
It should be noted that the gap that is between the second outer side part 21 and the second inner side part 22 and that extends along the coiling direction of the second segment may be formed in a manner such as cutting, chemical corrosion, or parallel winding. Specifically, the second segment may be cut, chemically corroded, or the like, to obtain the second outer side part 21 and the second inner side part 22. In this case, there is a gap between the second outer side part 21 and the second inner side part 22. Alternatively, the second segment may be formed by winding a plurality of conducting wires in parallel. In this case, the second outer side part 21 may be one conducting wire, the second inner side part 22 may be another conducting wire, and there is a gap between the second outer side part 21 and the second inner side part 22.
In addition, one end that is of the second outer side part 21 and that is close to the first outer side part 11 is separated from one end that is of the second inner side part 22 and that is close to the first outer side part 11. One end that is of the second outer side part 21 and that is away from the first outer side part 11 and one end that is of the second inner side part 22 and that is away from the first outer side part 11 may be connected to each other by using a part of the first planar coil winding 1 other than the first segment and the second segment, or may be connected to each other by using a conducting wire connected between the first planar coil winding 1 and the lead-out end or lead-in end of the coil module, or may be connected to each other by using a connection terminal between the coil module and an external circuit, or the like.
It should be noted that the gap that is between the third outer side part 31 and the third inner side part 32 and that extends along the coiling direction of the third segment may be formed in a manner such as cutting, chemical corrosion, or parallel winding. Specifically, the third segment may be cut, chemically corroded, or the like, to obtain the third outer side part 31 and the third inner side part 32. In this case, there is a gap between the third outer side part 31 and the third inner side part 32. Alternatively, the third segment may be formed by winding a plurality of conducting wires in parallel. In this case, the third outer side part 31 may be one conducting wire, the third inner side part 32 may be another conducting wire, and there is a gap between the third outer side part 31 and the third inner side part 32.
In addition, one end that is of the third outer side part 31 and that is close to the first outer side part 11 is separated from one end that is of the third inner side part 32 and that is close to the first outer side part 11. One end that is of the third outer side part 31 and that is away from the first outer side part 11 and one end that is of the third inner side part 32 and that is away from the first outer side part 11 may be connected to each other by using a part of the second planar coil winding 2 other than the third segment, or may be connected to each other by using a conducting wire connected between the second planar coil winding 2 and the lead-out end or lead-in end of the coil module, or may be connected to each other by using a connection terminal between the coil module and an external circuit, or the like.
It should be noted that both the first connection part L1 and the second connection part L2 are located in the opening between the first segment and the second segment. The first connection part L1 is not electrically connected to a part of the coil module other than the first outer side part n, the second inner side part 22, and the third inner side part 32. The second connection part L2 is not electrically connected to a part of the coil module other than the third outer side part 31, the second outer side part 21, and the first inner side part 12.
In addition, the first outer side part 1, the first connection part L1, and the second inner side part 22 are integrally formed. The second connection part L2 may include a first portion and a second portion that are separated from each other. The first portion and the first inner side part 12 are integrally formed, and the second portion and the third outer side part 31 are integrally formed. An end part of the first portion and an end part of the second portion that are close to each other (that is, one end that is of the first portion and that is away from the first inner side part 12, and one end that is of the second portion and that is away from the third outer side part 31) are connected to each other. For example, at least one via hole may penetrate the end part of the first portion and the end part of the second portion that are close to each other, and the end part of the first portion and the end part of the second portion that are close to each other may be electrically connected to each other through the at least one via hole.
When one end that is of the third outer side part 31 and that is close to the first inner side part 12 is connected to one end that is of the second outer side part 21 and that is close to the first inner side part 12, at least one first via hole penetrates the end that is of the second outer side part 21 and that is close to the first inner side part 12 and the end that is of the third outer side part 31 and that is close to the first inner side part 12. The end that is of the second outer side part 21 and that is close to the first inner side part 12 and the end that is of the third outer side part 31 and that is close to the first inner side part 12 are electrically connected to each other through the at least one first via hole.
It should be noted that, usually, the first planar coil winding 1 is referred to as a first-layer coil winding, and the second planar coil winding 2 is referred to as a second-layer coil winding. In this case, the third outer side part 31 and the second outer side part 21 are connected to each other in a cross-layer manner. In this way, a serial cross-connection between the first segment and the second segment in the first planar coil winding 1 can be implemented by using the first connection part L1 and the second connection part L2. In this case, on a plane on which the first planar coil winding 1 (or the second planar coil winding 2) is located, a projection of a target conducting wire that is constituted by the first outer side part 11, the first connection part L1, and the second inner side part 22 crosses a projection of a target conducting wire that is constituted by the first inner side part 12, the second connection part L2, and the second outer side part 21. In this case, when a magnetic field passes through the gap between the first outer side part 11 and the first inner side part 12 and passes through the gap between the second outer side part 21 and the second inner side part 22, a direction of an induced current generated on the first outer side part 11 and the second inner side part 22 is opposite to that of an induced current generated on the second outer side part 21 and the first inner side part 12. Therefore, the induced currents can cancel out at least a part of each other, thereby effectively reducing a circulating current loss in the first planar coil winding 1 and the second planar coil winding 2, and improving wireless charging efficiency of the coil module.
Further, one end that is of the second inner side part 22 and that is close to the first outer side part 11 is connected to one end that is of the third inner side part 32 and that is close to the first outer side part 11. Specifically, at least one second via hole penetrates the end that is of the second inner side part 22 and that is close to the first outer side part 11 and the end that is of the third inner side part 32 and that is close to the first outer side part 11. The end that is of the second inner side part 22 and that is close to the first outer side part 11 and the end that is of the third inner side part 32 and that is close to the first outer side part 11 are electrically connected to each other through the at least one second via hole.
It should be noted that a current that flows into the coil module from an external circuit or a current generated by the coil module may flow into the first outer side part 11 and the first inner side part 12 in the first segment of the first planar coil winding 1, then flow to the second inner side part 22 in the second segment of the first planar coil winding 1 and the third inner side part 32 in the third segment of the second planar coil winding 2 from the first outer side part 11 through the first connection part L1, and flow to the second outer side part 21 in the second segment of the first planar coil winding 1 and the third outer side part 31 in the third segment of the second planar coil winding 2 from the first inner side part 12 through the second connection part L2 simultaneously, then flow to the second planar coil winding 2 from the second outer side part 21 and the second inner side part 22, and finally flow out of the second planar coil winding 2.
Alternatively, a current that flows into the coil module from an external circuit or a current generated by the coil module may flow into the second planar coil winding 2, flow to the first outer side part 11 in the first segment of the first planar coil winding 1 from the third inner side part 32 in the third segment of the second planar coil winding 2 through the first connection part L1, and flow to the first inner side part 12 in the first segment of the first planar coil winding 1 from the third outer side part 31 in the third segment of the second planar coil winding 2 through the second connection part L2 simultaneously, or flow to the second outer side part 21 and the second inner side part 22 in the second segment of the first planar coil winding 1 from the second planar coil winding 2, and then flow to the first outer side part 11 from the second inner side part 22 through the first connection part L1, and flow to the first inner side part 12 from the second outer side part 21 through the second connection part L2 simultaneously, and finally flow out of the first planar coil winding 1.
In this case, the second inner side part 22 and the third inner side part 32 are connected to each other in a cross-layer manner. In this way, a serial cross-connection between the first segment in the first planar coil winding 1 and the third segment in the second planar coil winding 2 can be implemented by using the first connection part L1 and the second connection part L2. In this case, on the plane on which the first planar coil winding 1 (or the second planar coil winding 2) is located, a projection of a target conducting wire that is constituted by the first outer side part 11, the first connection part L1, and the third inner side part 32 crosses a projection of a target conducting wire that is constituted by the first inner side part 12, the second connection part L2, and the third outer side part 31. In this case, when a magnetic field passes through the gap between the first outer side part 11 and the first inner side part 12 and passes through the gap between the third outer side part 31 and the third inner side part 32, a direction of an induced current generated on the first outer side part 11 and the third inner side part 32 is opposite to that of an induced current generated on the third outer side part 31 and the first inner side part 12. Therefore, the induced currents can cancel out at least a part of each other, thereby effectively reducing a circulating current loss in the first planar coil winding 1 and the second planar coil winding 2, and improving wireless charging efficiency of the coil module.
Further, the second outer side part 21 and the third outer side part 31 are connected in parallel, and the second inner side part 22 and the third inner side part 32 are connected in parallel. In this case, the second planar coil winding 2 may further include a fourth segment. The fourth segment includes a fourth outer side part 41 and a fourth inner side part 42. Between the fourth outer side part 41 and the fourth inner side part 42, there is a gap extending along a coiling direction of the fourth segment. The fourth outer side part 41 and the third outer side part 31 are connected to each other. The fourth inner side part 42 and the third inner side part 32 are connected to each other.
It should be noted that, when the fourth outer side part 41 and the third outer side part 31 are connected to each other, the fourth outer side part 41 may be connected to the third outer side part 31 by using one or more coils. When the fourth inner side part 42 and the third inner side part 32 are connected to each other, the fourth inner side part 42 may be connected to the third inner side part 32 by using one or more coils. This is not limited in this embodiment of this application.
It should be noted that, the projection of the target conducting wire that is constituted by the first outer side part 11, the first connection part L1, and the third inner side part 32 crosses the projection of the target conducting wire that is constituted by the first inner side part 12, the second connection part L2, and the third outer side part 31 on the plane on which the first planar coil winding 1 (or the second planar coil winding 2) is located, the fourth outer side part 41 and the third outer side part 31 are connected to each other, and the fourth inner side part 42 and the third inner side part 32 are connected to each other, therefore, when a magnetic field passes through the gap between the first outer side part 11 and the first inner side part 12 and passes through the gap between the fourth outer side part 41 and the fourth inner side part 42, a direction of an induced current generated on the first outer side part 11 and the fourth inner side part 42 is opposite to that of an induced current generated on the fourth outer side part 41 and the first inner side part 12. Therefore, the induced currents can cancel out at least a part of each other, thereby effectively reducing a circulating current loss in the first planar coil winding 1 and the second planar coil winding 2, and improving wireless charging efficiency of the coil module.
It should be noted that, in addition to a serial cross-connection structure formed by using the first connection part L1 and the second connection part L2, the coil module may further include other structures, for example, a parallel cross-connection structure formed by any coil of the first planar coil winding 1 and any coil of the second planar coil winding 2, and a first conducting wire and a second conducting wire that are used to connect the first planar coil winding 1 and the second planar coil winding 2 to an external circuit. For these structures, refer to related descriptions in the foregoing embodiments. Details are not described in this embodiment of this application again.
In this embodiment of this application, the coil module includes the first connection part L1, the second connection part L2, and the first planar coil winding 1 and the second planar coil winding 2 that are insulated from each other. The first planar coil winding 1 includes the first segment and the second segment along the winding direction of the first planar coil winding 1. There is the opening between the first segment and the second segment. The first segment includes the first outer side part 11 and the first inner side part 12. The second segment includes the second outer side part 21 and the second inner side part 22. The first connection part L1 is located between the first outer side part 11 and the second inner side part 22. The first outer side part 11 and the second inner side part 22 are connected to each other by using the first connection part L1. The second planar coil winding 2 includes the third segment. Along the thickness direction of the first planar coil winding 1, the end part that is of the third segment and that is close to the first segment at least partially overlaps the end part that is of the second segment and that is close to the first segment. The third segment includes the third outer side part 31 and the third inner side part 32. The second connection part L2 is located between the third outer side part 31 and the first inner side part 12. The third outer side part 31 and the first inner side part 12 are connected to each other by using the second connection part L2. The end that is of the third outer side part 31 and that is close to the first inner side part 12 is connected to the end that is of the second outer side part 21 and that is close to the first inner side part 12. In this way, on the plane on which the first planar coil winding 1 (or the second planar coil winding 2) is located, the projection of the target conducting wire that is constituted by the first outer side part 11, the first connection part L1, and the second inner side part 22 crosses the projection of the target conducting wire that is constituted by the first inner side part 12, the second connection part L2, and the second outer side part 21. In this case, when a magnetic field passes through the gap between the first outer side part 11 and the first inner side part 12 and passes through the gap between the second outer side part 21 and the second inner side part 22, a direction of an induced current generated on the first outer side part 11 and the second inner side part 22 is opposite to that of an induced current generated on the second outer side part 21 and the first inner side part 12. Therefore, the induced currents can cancel out at least a part of each other, thereby effectively reducing a circulating current loss in the first planar coil winding 1 and the second planar coil winding 2, and improving wireless charging efficiency of the coil module.
An input end of the direct current/alternating current conversion circuit 292 is connected to a direct current power source 291. Under control of the control unit 293, the direct current/alternating current conversion circuit 292 converts a direct-current signal input by the direct current power source 291 into an alternating-current signal, and transmits the alternating-current signal to the coil module 294, so that the coil module 294 transmits the alternating-current signal.
An output end of the direct current/alternating current conversion circuit 292 is connected to the coil module 294. A control end of the control unit 293 is connected to a controlled end of the direct current/alternating current conversion circuit 292.

The coil module 334 is connected to an input end of the alternating current/direct current conversion circuit 331. The coil module 334 receives an alternating-current signal, and transmits the alternating-current signal to the alternating current/direct current conversion circuit 331.
