Abstract

In order to improve the restraint ability of electromagnetic energy in space and improve the coupling efficiency, a magnetic coupler structure with composite magnetic shield is proposed. Firstly, the model is established by using the finite-element simulation software. Then, according to the limit of public exposure to time-varying electromagnetic fields pointed out in ICNIPR (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection) guidelines, the characteristics and spatial magnetic field distribution of magnetic couplers with a single shielding structure, double shielding structure, and composite shielding structure are compared and analyzed. Finally, the experimental results show that the structure of magnetic couplers with a composite magnetic shield has a good effect in strengthening magnetic field concentration and reducing the electromagnetic interference of wireless charging systems to the external environment. It also has the advantages of smaller volume, lighter weight, and lower cost, and can effectively improve the transmission efficiency and enhance the stability of wireless charging systems.
