Introduction
A model of the wireless power transfer device that is integrated with a linear motor system is proposed in this paper. Figure 1a shows the conventional system that generally operates the industry robot on a bogie with a power cable and a rotating motor. Generally, a cable is required for this system to supply a power source to the moving bogie [1,2]. The transfer system with a rotating motor consists of mechanical components, such as a speed reducer, belt, chain, and ball screw, which are required to convert rotational motions into linear motions. The vibration from these components causes dusts, and in turn, maintenance is inevitable, especially in a semiconductor factory that requires a clean environment to prevent product defectives [3,4]. Figure 1b shows the proposed system in this paper. The proposed system is integrated with a wireless power transfer (WPT) device and the linear motor (LM) [4]. The power is supplied to the moving part through the WPT, which has no moving parts. The fixing part of the integration system with wireless power transfer device and linear motor is designed according to the dimensions of the company DMT's linear motor [5]. The principle of a transformer with an air gap is employed for the WPT device. The winding inductance is an important design component for the magnetic energy conversion. The inductance characteristics of the proposed system are analyzed by 2D FEA (Finite Element Analysis). Litz wires are used because the WPT device is operated at a high frequency of 10 kHz, since Litz wires are advantageous at high frequencies due to lower skin effects and conduction losses [6]. The proposed system is composed of ferrite cores for a high-frequency transformer with an air gap and laminated silicon cores to secure the function of a linear motor.
Although ferrite cores have a weaker structural strength, they have a lower core loss than silicon cores. The resonant circuit between inductance and capacitor in the primary circuit is applied to supply the secondary voltage in the WPT [7]. The measured inductance value is applied to circuit simulation to increase the accuracy of the analysis. Circuit simulation analysis was carried out in MATLAB by applying the CLLC circuit [8][9][10][11].
A prototype is fabricated to prove the performance of the proposed model. The inductance of the iron core and winding is measured and compared with the analysis value by 2D FEA. It was applied to the modeling circuit, and we verified the performance for wireless power transmission.

Figure 2 shows the integrated system of the proposed WPT device with the LM. The proposed system has a better space utilization because the fixed part serves a dual purpose, namely the primary of the WPT and the secondary of LM. The moving part that is installed under the robot base plate is composed of the secondary part of the WPT and the primary part of LM. The linear motor generates the thrust between the teeth of the secondary core and the teeth of the primary core in Figure 2, and the principles are the same of conventional flux switching and flux reversal linear motors [3].

Specification of the Transfer and Receiver
The fixed part of the WPT device is designed by modifying a commercial LM, as shown in Figure 6a [1,2]. The length and width of the fixed part are 1080 mm and 50 mm, respectively. The length and width of the moving part are 108 mm and 50 mm, respectively. The detailed dimensions of the WPT are shown in Table 1. Figure 6b shows the cross section of the WPT device. The WPT device can be divided into four parts, i.e., the coupled tooth, coupled slot, uncoupled tooth, and uncoupled slot part. The dimensions and configurations of each part are different, with a ferrite core, laminated silicon core, and Litz wire. A ferrite core is inserted at the bottom of the tooth and slot of the WPT, which is to further secure the flow of the magnetic flux [8]. The proposed system needs laminated cores to secure the functionality of the linear motor. Therefore, considering the function from the point of view of a wireless power transmission device, a ferrite core is inserted in the slot part of the tooth section of the linear motor's fixed part.

The dimensions and specifications of the wireless power transfer device are listed in Table 1.
In the above Equation (1), when the transformer primary voltage e is 100 Vrms, the magnetic flux is = 0.00010725 Wb, and the magnetic path area S is 0.00216 m 2 , so the magnetic flux density is B = 0.0496 T.

Specification of the Winding Coil
When the frequency is increased, the current flow region is decreased in the wire due to the skin effect, which causes a higher resistance and reduces the efficiency. As mentioned earlier, the WPT device is operated at a high frequency. Thus, Litz wires are employed to reduce the skin effect and losses instead of using general solid and strand wire. Figure 7 shows the configuration of the coil and coil area. The selected Litz wire has 140 strands for one turn. The dimensions and specifications of the wireless power transfer device are listed in Table 1.

Design and FEA Analysis
Because the number of coupled, uncoupled teeth and coupled, uncoupled slots according to the position of the secondary moving part is the same, the simple 2D FEA is employed to analyze the electromagnetic characteristics. Figure 8 shows the WPT device parameter does not change according to the position of the secondary moving part, because the secondary moving part with 108 mm length at any position always keeps the six coupled teeth and the six coupled slots.

Inductance of Primary and Secondary
The total inductance of primary part L 1 is defined as follows: L pct , L pcs , L punct , and L puncs are the total inductance for each divided part, as shown in Figure 6b. The length of the tooth and slot are 6.5 mm and 11.5 mm, respectively, for the moving direction. The total length of the primary and secondary core is 1080 mm and 108 mm, respectively. Therefore, the coupled tooth and slot can be divided into 6 pieces each. The same method as for the coupled part, the uncoupled tooth and the slot parts are can be divided into 54 pieces each. Since L 1ct and L 1cs are coupled parts between primary and secondary parts, these are divided into magnetization and leakage inductance as follows: From the above Equations (2)-(6), the total inductance of the primary part can be redefined as follows: L pm = L pctm + L pcsm (8) L pl = L pctlk + L pcslk + L punctlk + L puncslk (9) Similar to the definition of the inductance of the primary part in Equations (2)-(9), the inductance of the secondary part can also be defined as follows: L sct : inductance of a coupled tooth core. L scs : inductance of a coupled slot core. L sctm : magnetization inductance of a coupled tooth core. L scsm : magnetization inductance of a coupled slot core. L sctlk : leakage inductance of a coupled slot core. L scslk : leakage inductance of a coupled slot core.
L scs = L scsm + L scslk (12) From the above Equations (10)- (12), the total inductance of the secondary part can be redefined as follows: L s = L sm + L slk (13) L sm = L sctm + L scsm (14) Table 2 shows the calculated inductance by 2D FEA simulation. The total leakage inductance of primary part L plk is much higher than the total mutual inductance of primary part L pm since the uncoupled part occupies the most of them in the WPT device.  Figure 9 shows the shape of the magnetic flux distribution for the coupled tooth, coupled slot, uncoupled tooth, and uncoupled slot part in Figure 6. For the coupled tooth and slot, the magnetic flux flows almost through the core. = + (14) Table 2 shows the calculated inductance by 2D FEA simulation.

Figure 9 shows the shape of the magnetic flux distribution for the coupled tooth, coupled slot, uncoupled tooth, and uncoupled slot part in Figure 6. For the coupled tooth and slot, the magnetic flux flows almost through the core.

Calculation of Coreloss
The calculated laminated and ferrite core losses are shown in Tables 3 and 4, respectively. Table 3 below is the iron loss value in case of magnetizing current 3.91 A at no load, and Table 4 is the iron loss caused by magnetizing current 3.91 A and load current 4.73 A in the uncoupled model under load. Unlike general transformers that only generate iron loss due to magnetizing current even under load, the transformer of the proposed WPT device suffers from iron losses due to the sum of the magnetizing current and load current in the uncoupled parts under load. The reason why there is a difference in loss with and without load is that the primary fixing part in the proposed device has a longer structure than the secondary moving part.

Calculation of the Resonance Capacitor
We proposed in this paper a model of an integration system with a wireless power transfer device and linear motor, which adopted a transformer with a big air gap and long primary wires. The wireless power transmission device has a large leakage inductance for the primary winding due to the long length of the primary part, a small magnetizing inductance, and a low coupling coefficient. It makes the transmission efficiency very low. The system efficiency is improved by adopting resonant capacitance to compensate leakage inductance in transferring energy to the load. For this method, it is necessary equalize the resonance frequency of the primary side and the secondary side by using a resonance capacitor [7].

In Figure 10, the primary and secondary of the WPT device have a 1 mm air gap for the inductance experiment.   Table 5 shows the simulated inductance and experimental inductance of the wireless power transmission device.
The transformer of the WPT device proposed in this paper has the characters of leakage inductance along the long primary side wire with an air gap and uncoupled part. In addition, it has a low coupling coefficient, and the inductance characteristics for this can be seen in Table 5 above.
In Table 5, the simulation and test values do not have a large error, so it can be seen that the design and analysis are verified. However, there is an error of 20% between the L1 leakage simulation and the experimental value, which is due to the existence of a gap between the ferrite core and the laminated core combination in the device manufacturing. In Table 6, each resonant capacitor is calculated as 0.109 µF and 1.217 µF by Equation (15). Additionally, in the measured data in Table 6 is shown the resistance measurement values are 0.95 Ω and 0.11 Ω.

The constant of the above equivalent circuit is the value by reflecting the measured inductance, resistance, and 2D finite element simulation iron loss data. As shown in Figure 11, this paper adopts a series-series system in which the resonance capacitor and the coil are connected in series because a regeneration can be easily performed from the symmetry of the circuit in this system [7].
Energies 2021, 14, x FOR PEER REVIEW 10 of 12 this paper adopts a series-series system in which the resonance capacitor and the coil are connected in series because a regeneration can be easily performed from the symmetry of the circuit in this system [7].  R noloadls considers the iron loss caused by the magnetizing current in case of no load. In the case of load, the R loadls additionally considers the iron loss caused by the load current. In this case, considering the additional iron loss of 131 W generated during the load, the secondary additional iron loss resistance constitutes 5.856 Ω.
In the above simulation, the primary and secondary leakage inductances resonate with the series capacitors C p and C s . Then, the total primary current I p is calculated by calculating the primary excitation current I m in Equations (16) and (17) and the primary load current I pload load, which has a phase difference of 90 degrees: In the above equation, since the magnetizing current I m is 3.925 A and the primary load current I s is 3.693 A, the primary current I p is 5.745 A. Therefore, according to Equation (18), the loss P R of the coil is 30.20 W as the sum of 28.68 W for the primary coil loss P pR and 1.514 W for the secondary coil loss P sR : The efficiency of the wireless power transformer is obtained from the result obtained through the MATLAB simulation, as shown in Equation (19). The result is 62.45% efficiency by P p 436 W and P s 272 W.

Conclusions
The analysis of the proposed WPT device in the integration system with LM is proposed, and the integration system with a wireless power transfer device and linear motor would be applied to the robot in a clean room to reduce noise and to simplify the system.
The basic design of the transformer of the 500 W class WPT unit is studied along with the magnetic inductance by the equivalent magnetic circuit method, the magnetic and leakage inductance of the primary and secondary windings by the two-dimensional finite element method, the resonance capacitor, the resistance of the winding, and the efficiency. In particular, in the case of primary and secondary winding magnetic and leakage inductance, each region was divided into six parts and analyzed through a twodimensional finite element method to obtain accurate values.
The inductance values obtained through the analysis were compared with the results of actual experimental measurements. The difference between simulation and experiment results is approximately 19.1%-1%, which is within the acceptable range, which may be caused by manufacturing processes such as the existence of a gap between the ferrite core and the laminated core.
In the future, the power transfer will be verified by composing and testing the transformer and convert device of the WPT part, and the integration system with wireless power transfer (WPT) device and linear motor (LM) will be completed by combining the linear motor part [14].
