Wireless charging pad having coolant assembly

Abstract:

A charging pad for an electric vehicle includes a coolant assembly, a magnetics assembly, and an electronics assembly. The coolant assembly has a top wall and a bottom wall which form a coolant channel for circulating coolant through the coolant assembly. The magnetics assembly is configured to wirelessly receive power from a charging source induction coil arrangement facing the magnetics assembly. The magnetics assembly is adjacent the bottom wall of for heat generated by the magnetics assembly to thermally conduct from the bottom wall into coolant in the coolant channel. The electronics assembly is configured to convert the power wirelessly received by the magnetics assembly into electrical power for charging the electric vehicle. The electronics assembly is arranged adjacent the top wall for heat generated by the electronics assembly to thermally conduct from the top wall into coolant in the coolant channel.
