POWER RECEIVING DEVICE, EXPERIMENTAL ANIMAL BIOLOGICAL INFORMATION ACQUISITION DEVICE, AND EXPERIMENTAL ANIMAL BIOLOGICAL INFORMATION ACQUISITION SYSTEM
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a power receiving device, which is a technology for non-contact power transmission to an experimental animal biological information acquisition device 12 embedded in a plurality of experimental animals in a breeding cage 14, capable of observing a behavior of an experimental animal from the outside without a power transmission side covering the breeding cage 14 and continuously supplying power regardless of an orientation or position of the experimental animal.SOLUTION: A secondary coil unit 22 has: a magnetic core 31 having a circular cross section perpendicular to a longitudinal direction; and a plurality of spiral coils 40a, 40b configured by winding a conductor so that the outer shape is substantially square. The plurality of spiral coils 40a, 40b are arranged annularly (to form a ring) in the circumferential direction of the magnetic core 31 so as to cover the entire peripheral surface of the magnetic core 31 by bringing sides (40a1, 40b1) and (40a2, 40b2) close to each other.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4COPYRIGHT: (C)2020,JPO&INPIT【課題】飼育ケージ14内の複数匹の実験動物に埋め込まれた実験動物生体情報取得装置12に非接触で電力伝送する技術であり、飼育ケージ14を送電側が覆うことが無く外部から実験動物の行動を観察でき、実験動物の向きや位置によらず継続的に給電できる受電装置を提供すること。【解決手段】2次側コイル部22は、長手方向に垂直な断面形状が円形の磁性体コア31と、外形が略四角形となるように導体を巻回して構成された複数のスパイラルコイル40a、40bを有し、複数のスパイラルコイル40a、40bは、それぞれその辺同士(40a1と40b1)、(40a2と40b2)を近接させて、磁性体コア31の周面全体を覆うようにして、磁性体コア31の周方向に環状に(リングを形成するように)配置されている。【選択図】 図4
