Abstract:
An array coil system includes a detector coil having a plurality of coils arranged in an array, and a plurality of resistances. Both terminals of each of the coils of the detector coil are connected to a ground or a DC voltage via associated ones of the resistances.
Abstract:
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a contactless charging device which reduces magnetic field leaking from an air gap between a primary coil and a secondary coil so as to suppress radiation noise in contactless electrical power transmission. The device is provided with a power supply device (1) comprising a primary coil (13) which generates a magnetic field by way of a supply current from a power supply (2), and a power receiving device (8) comprising a secondary coil (15) which receives power by way of the magnetic field from the primary coil (13). The primary coil (13) and the secondary coil (15) are formed by winding coil wires, and the number of turns of the secondary coil (15) is set to be greater than the number of turns of the primary coil (13).
Abstract:
A foreign object detector includes a detection coil; a transmitting circuit generating an unbalanced signal; a balanced-to-unbalanced transformer transforming the unbalanced signal supplied from the transmitting circuit to a balanced signal; and detection circuit detecting a foreign object by sensing a change in frequency characteristic of reflected power that is a power component reflected by the detection coil. The foreign object detector detects a foreign object while preventing a wire between the detection coil and the detection circuit from functioning as a linear antenna even if the wire is long.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a foreign object detector to detect a foreign object while distinguishing metal from water. The foreign object detector includes a detection coil; a transmitting circuit generating RF power of a predetermined frequency; a directional coupler outputting the RF power supplied from the transmitting circuit to the detection coil, and extracting reflected power that is a power component reflected by the detection coil; and a detection circuit receiving the reflected power extracted by the directional coupler, and detecting the foreign object by sensing a change in the frequency characteristic of the reflected power.
