Abstract:
A power transmission coil includes a plane coil including a no-wire portion and a coil wound about a no-wire portion, a cover for covering the plane coil from above, a first foreign-matter-detecting unit provided at the no-wire portion, and a power control circuit electrically connected to the plane coil and the first foreign-matter-detecting unit. An upper surface of the cover has a first inclining portion inclining toward the first foreign-matter-detecting unit. The power control circuit transmits power through the plane coil if a foreign matter is not detected in the no-wire portion based on an output from the first foreign-matter-detecting unit. The power control circuit is configured to stop transmitting power through the plane coil if foreign matter is detected in the no-wire portion based on an output from the first foreign-matter-detecting unit. This power transmission coil is capable of detecting a small foreign matter that may generate heat.
