Abstract:
A position detection coil (14B) is disposed as a foreign matter detector that detects a state where a foreign matter is present on the upper surface of an installation plate (6). Further, the position detection coil (14B) and an alarm unit (43) that emits an alarm when detecting a foreign matter by the position detection coil (14B) are connected to a controller (10). The controller (10) is formed to alternately drive position detectors (both position detection coils (14A), (14B)) and the position detection coil (14B) alone (foreign matter detector), and drive the alarm unit (43) if the detection level that is detected by the position detection coil (14B) alone (foreign matter detector) is higher than a threshold.
Abstract:
A controller of a mobile terminal charging device compares a resonance frequency or a resonance voltage of each of a plurality of foreign object detection coils with a reference resonance frequency or a reference resonance voltage of each foreign object detection coil, stored in a memory, corresponding to a position of a charging coil. The controller performs a safety operation on the basis of a comparison result.
