Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
この発明は、給電装置から電子機器に非接触で電力を供給するようにした非接触式電力送電装置に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
充電式電池を電源とする電子機器として、テレビ受像機、ＰＤＡ、携帯電話、ひげ剃り、電動歯ブラシなどがあるが、その充電式電池を充電する充電装置として、例えば図１３に示すような非接触式充電装置がある。
【０００３】
この充電装置においては、充電台１に、給電回路２と、給電コイル３とが設けられ、給電回路２から給電コイル３に所定の周波数の交番電圧が供給される。また、電子機器、例えば携帯電話４に、その電源となる充電式電池５と、受電コイル６と、充電回路７とが設けられる。
【０００４】
そして、携帯電話４を充電台１に乗せると、給電コイル３と、受電コイル６とが対向し、給電コイル３に供給されている交番電圧が受電コイル６に誘起し、この誘起した交番電圧が充電回路７により充電電圧に変換に変換されて充電式電池５に供給される。したがって、図１３の充電装置によれば、充電接点を使用しないで、すなわち、非接触で充電式電池５を充電することができる（例えば、特許文献１および２参照）。
【０００５】

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ところが、図１３に示すような充電装置の場合、給電コイル３と、受電コイル６とが正しく対向し、かつ、それらの間隔が数ｍｍ以内に近接する必要がある。例えば、２つのコイル３、６の間隔が６ｍｍ程度以上になると、受電コイル６から必要な電力を取り出すとき、給電コイル３にきわめて大きな電力を供給する必要があり、発熱や省エネルギなどの観点からも環境的にも好ましくないものとなってしまう。
【０００８】
また、給電コイル３および受電コイル６は単に近接するだけでなく、正しく対向する必要があり、すなわち、両コイル３、６の巻回中心が同一線上に位置する必要がある。このため、これまでの充電装置１には、図１３にも示すように、凹部１Ａが形成され、この凹部１Ａに携帯電話１を置いたとき、給電コイル３および受電コイル６が正しく対向するようにされている。
【０００９】
しかし、そのようにする場合には、充電台１のデザインの自由度が少なくなってしまう。また、携帯電話４を取り出しやすいように手前に向けるときには、充電台ごとする必要があり、不安定となる。さらに、例えばテレビ受像機のような視聴覚装置では、そのスクリーンの向き（上下や左右の角度）をユーザにとって見やすい角度に合わせることができず、充電時には配置の自由度がまったくなくなってしまう。
【００１０】
また、パーソナルコンピュータの液晶ディスプレイのように、外部にアームや関節機構などを設けてスクリーンの向きを可変にすることも考えられるが、その場合には、その関節機構が外部に露出することになるので、デザイン的な自由度が少なくなってしまう。
【００１１】
この発明は、以上のような問題点を解決しようとするものである。
【００１２】
【課題を解決するための手段】
この発明においては、例えば、
給電装置と、
この給電装置から電力が供給される電子機器と
から構成され、
上記給電装置は、
所定の周波数の交番電圧を形成する回路と、
上記交番電圧の供給される給電コイルと
を有し、
上記電子機器は、
上記給電コイルと磁気結合して上記交番電圧を取り出す受電コイルと、
この受電コイルに取り出された電力を電源として動作する負荷回路と
を有し、
上記給電コイルおよび上記受電コイルの少なくとも一方のコイルは、その一方のコイルが設けられている上記給電装置あるいは上記電子機器に対して移動可能に設けられ、
上記給電装置と上記電子機器とを近接ないし対接させたとき、重力および磁力の少なくとも一方により、上記給電コイルと上記受電コイルとが対向して上記磁気結合を実現する
ようにした非接触式電力送電装置
とするものである。
したがって、電子機器を給電装置にどのように置いても、給電コイルと受電コイルとが正しく対向して電力の伝送が行われる。
【００１３】
【発明の実施の形態】
１．テレビ受像機およびその充電台の場合（その１）
図１および図２は、この発明を適用したテレビ受像機およびその充電台の一例を示し、図１はそのテレビ受像機１０および充電台２０の前後方向を含む垂直断面を略線的に示す断面図、図２はその略線的な正面図である。
【００１４】
そして、テレビ受像機１０は、全体が所定の大きさの半球状とされている。すなわち、箱体１１が、中空の球体を、その中心を通る平面により切断した半球状で、一様な厚さの殻状に構成され、したがって、箱体１１はほぼ椀状に構成され、その開口部に蓋体１２が設けられている。なお、箱体１１は、プラスチック材などの非磁性材により形成される。
【００１５】
また、箱体１１の内部には、図示はしないが、負荷回路、すなわち、テレビ受像機１０の受信回路、その電源となる充電式電池およびその充電回路などが設けられ、蓋体１２の外面にはＬＣＤパネル１３が設けられている。
【００１６】
さらに、箱体１１の内部には直線状のアーム１４が設けられ、その一端が、蓋体１２の中心に設けられたフック１５に回動自在に支持され、その他端に受電コイル１６が設けられる。この場合、受電コイル１６は、その巻回中心がアーム１４の長さ方向となるように、かつ、コイル１６の下面が箱体１１の内面に近接するように設けられる。また、アーム１４が重力により常に垂線方向を向くように、アーム１４および受電コイル１６は所定の重さとされ、必要に応じて重り（図示せず）が付加される。
【００１７】
一方、充電台２０は、その箱体が非磁性材により構成されるとともに、その上部に凹部２１を有する。この凹部２１は、ここにテレビ受像機１０が置かれたとき、その半球状のテレビ受像機１０に外接して安定に支持ないし受けとめておくためのものであり、このため、その内周面は箱体１１の外径にほぼ等しい曲率とされている。また、充電台２０の内部には、給電回路と、給電コイル２２とが設けられている。この場合、給電コイル２２は、重力により最下点に位置している受電コイル１６と対向する位置に、その受電コイル１６とできるだけ近接するように、かつ、巻回中心が垂線方向となるように設けられる。
【００１８】
そして、テレビ受像機１０に内蔵される充電回路および充電台２０に内蔵される給電回路は、例えば図３に示すように構成される。すなわち、充電台２０の給電回路２３においては、商用交流電圧が電源プラグ２３１を通じて整流回路２３２に供給されて所定の大きさの直流電圧とされ、この直流電圧が発振回路２３３にその動作電圧として供給されて所定の周波数の発振電圧が形成され、この発振電圧が給電コイル２２に供給される。なお、このとき、発振回路２３３を、発振用トランジスタおよび発振トランスなどから構成し、その発振トランスの出力コイルを給電コイル２２とすることができる。
【００１９】
また、テレビ受像機１０の充電回路１７においては、後述するように、受電コイル１６に発振回路２３３の発振電圧が得られるので、この発振電圧が整流回路１７１に供給されて直流電圧に整流され、この直流電圧が充電制御回路１７２に供給される。そして、充電制御回路１７２からは充電電圧が取り出され、この充電電圧が充電式電池１７３に供給されるとともに、テレビ受像機１０の各部にその動作電圧として供給される。
【００２０】
このような構成によれば、充電台２０の凹部２１にテレビ受像機１０を置いたとき、テレビ受像機１０の箱体１１は半球状とされているとともに、凹部２１はその箱体１１に対応した曲率とされているので、テレビ受像機１０は任意の方向に向けて置くことができる。そして、そのとき、テレビ受像機１０の向きにかかわらずアーム１４は重力により垂線方向を向くので、受電コイル１６は給電コイル２２に正しく対向する。
【００２１】
したがって、テレビ受像機１０の向きにかかわらず給電コイル２２に供給された発振電圧は、電磁誘導により受電コイル１６に伝送されることになり、充電式電池１７３が充電されるとともに、その電池１７３の電圧がテレビ受像機１０の各部にその動作電圧として供給されることになる。したがって、テレビ受像機１０によりテレビ放送が受信され、その画像がＬＣＤパネル１３に映し出される。
【００２２】
なお、実際には、テレビ受像機１０の向きは、それほど大きく変更できる必要がないので、箱体１１の内部のうち、実用的な範囲でテレビ受像機１０の向きを変更したときに、アーム１４および受電コイル１６が当たらない部分に、充電回路１７や受信回路などを設けることができる。
【００２３】
こうして、上述のテレビ受像機１０および充電台２０によれば、充電式電池１７３を充電することができるとともに、テレビ放送を見ることができるが、この場合、テレビ受像機１０の向き、すなわち、ＬＣＤパネル１３の仰角、左右の向きおよび傾きを変更しても、重力により受電コイル１６は給電コイル２２に正しく対向するので、給電コイル２２から受電コイル１６に効率よく電力を供給することができる。
【００２４】
また、例えば、１つの給電コイル２２に対して多数の受電コイルを箱体１１に配置しても、あるいは逆に１つの受電コイル１６に対して多数の給電コイルを凹部２１に配置しても、充電ができるとともに、テレビ受像機１０の向きを自由に変えることができる。しかし、前者の場合には、給電コイル２２に大電力を供給する必要があり、効率が低下してしまい、後者の場合には、有効なコイルの切り換えを行って給電の効率を上げる必要があり、コストの上昇を招いてしまう。しかし、上述の構成によれば、給電コイル２２および受電コイル１６は１組でよき、また、供給する電力も最小限なものとなる。さらに、不要な電磁界の放射を抑えることもできる。
【００２５】
また、テレビ受像機１０は、その箱体１１が半球状とされているとともに、充電台２０の凹部２１が対応した曲率とされているので、ユーザはテレビ受像機１０の向きを簡単に自分の見やすい向きに変更することができる。しかも、そのためにアームや複雑な関節機構などを必要としない。また、これにより信頼性を向上させることができるとともに、防塵機構や防水機構などを取り入れることもできる。
【００２６】
２．テレビ受像機およびその充電台の場合（その２）
図４は、この発明を適用したテレビ受像機１０およびその充電台２０の他の例を示し、その前後方向を含む垂直断面を略線的に示す断面図である。そして、この例においては、図１のテレビ受像機１０におけるアーム１４がＬ字状ないしレ字状とされ、その折り曲げ部がフック１５に回動自在に支持され、その一端に重り１８が設けられ、その他端に受電コイル１６が設けられている。
【００２７】
そして、この場合には、例えば図４にも示すように、重り１８により受電コイル１６がテレビ受像機１０の後部に位置するので、充電台２０のうち、受電コイル１６に正しく対応する位置に、給電コイル２２が配置される。
【００２８】
したがって、この例の場合も、テレビ受像機１０をユーザに見やすい任意の向きとすることができるとともに、そのような状態でも、テレビ受像機１０に給電をすることができる。また、アーム１８の折り曲げ角度を選択しておくことにより、給電コイル２２の配置場所の自由度が高くなる。
【００２９】
３．ロボットおよびその充電台の場合
図５および図６は、この発明を犬型のロボットおよびその充電台に適用した場合の一例を示し、図５はその犬型ロボット３０が充電台４０に座っている状態の側面図、図６は図５の要部の略線的な断面図である。
【００３０】
そして、ロボット３０は、その全体が犬型にデザインされるとともに、犬型ロボットとしての動きなどを実現するように、その機構および回路が構成されている。また、ロボット３０の臀部３１は中空の半球状に構成され、この臀部３１の内部に、アーム１４、フック１５および受電コイル１６が、図１および図２のテレビ受像機１０の場合と同様に設けられる。また、ロボット３０の内部には、図３に示す充電回路１７も設けられる。
【００３１】
さらに、充電台４０は、例えば全体が偏平に構成されるとともに、その上面は臀部３１に対応した曲率の凹面とされ、内部に給電コイル２２が図１および図２の充電台２０の場合と同様に設けられる。また、充電台２０の内部には、図３に示す給電回路２３も設けられる。
【００３２】
このような構成によれば、例えば充電式電池１７３の残量が少なくなったとき、ユーザがロボット３０を充電台４０に座らせれば、あるいはロボット３０を学習させておくことにより、ロボット３０を充電台４０に座らせれば、受電コイル１６が給電コイル２２に対向するので、充電式電池１７３を充電することができる。
【００３３】
また、例えば図７に示すように、ロボット３０が充電台４０に臀部３１を乗せて伏せた場合も、受電コイル１６が給電コイル２２に対向し、充電式電池１７３を充電することができる。したがって、図５に示すようにロボット３０が充電台４０に座っていても、あるいは図７に示すように伏せたり寝たりしていても充電をすることができる。
【００３４】
４．携帯電話およびその充電台の場合（その１）
図８〜図１０は、この発明を携帯電話およびその充電台に適用した場合の一例を示し、図８はその携帯電話５０を水平に置いたときの水平方向の断面を略線的に示す断面図である。また、図９はその充電台６０の上面カバーを取り外した状態の平面図、図１０は、充電台６０に携帯電話５０を置いた状態であって、図８および図９のＡ−Ａ線における断面を示す断面図である。
【００３５】
そして、携帯電話５０は、全体が細長い直方体状に構成されるとともに、その背面には、受電コイル２２および１対の永久磁石５１Ａ、５１Ｂが設けられている。この場合、受電コイル２２は、その巻回の軸心が携帯電話５０の前後方向（厚さ方向）となるように設けられ、磁石５１Ａ、５１Ｂは、受電コイル２２を間にして対称に、かつ、その磁極の方向が携帯電話５０の前後方向となるように設けられる。また、携帯電話５０には、図３における充電回路１７および充電式電池１７３が同様に設けられる。
【００３６】
一方、充電台６０は、その箱体６１およびその上面カバー６２が全体として直方体に構成され、その内部に支持板６３が上面カバー６２と平行に設けられる。なお、上面カバー６２は、プラスチック材などの非磁性材により必要な強度の得られる範囲で薄くされる。また、支持板６３の上面には、可動板６４が可動自在に配置されるとともに、この可動板６４の上面に、給電コイル２２と１対の永久磁石６５Ａ、６５Ｂとが設けられている。
【００３７】
この場合、給電コイル２２は、その巻回の軸心が垂直方向、すなわち、上面カバー６２および支持板６３と直交する方向となるように可動板６４に固定される。また、磁石６５Ａ、６５Ｂは、給電コイル２２を間にして対称で磁石５１Ａ、５１Ｂと等しい間隔で、かつ、その磁極の方向が垂直方向となり、磁石５１Ａ、５１Ｂと引き合う向きに可動板６４に固定される。さらに、給電コイル２２および磁石６５Ａ、６５Ｂは、その上端が上面カバー６２に近接するように、その垂直方向の長さおよび支持板６３の位置が設定される。そして、支持板６３と箱体６１との間の空間に、図３に示す給電回路２３が設けられる。
【００３８】
このような構成によれば、携帯電話５０を充電台６０の上面カバー６２の上面の任意の場所に置くと、携帯電話５０の内部の磁石５１Ａ、５１Ｂと、充電台６０の内部の磁石６５Ａ、６５Ｂとが引き合うことなる。そして、このとき、磁石６５Ａ、６５Ｂは可動板６４に設けられているので、磁石６５Ａ、６５Ｂは、携帯電話５０の磁石５１Ａ、５１Ｂと対向する位置に移動し、この結果、給電コイル２２も移動して受電コイル２２と正しく対向することになる。
【００３９】
したがって、携帯電話５０を置いた位置にかかわらず給電コイル２２に供給された発振電圧が受電コイル２２に伝送されることになり、携帯電話５０の充電式電池１７３が適切に充電されるとともに、その電池１７３の電圧が携帯電話５０の各部にその動作電圧として供給されることになる。こうして、上述の携帯電話５０および充電台６０によれば、充電式電池１７３を充電することができるとともに、充電中でも着信を受けることができる。
【００４０】
そして、その場合、携帯電話５０を充電台６０のどこに置いても、磁石５１Ａ、５１Ｂと磁石６５Ａ、６５Ｂとが引き合って受電コイル２２は給電コイル２２に正しく対向するので、ユーザは携帯電話５０の充電式電池１７３を充電するとき、その携帯電話５０を単に充電台６０に置くだけでよく、携帯電話５０の向きや置く位置を気にする必要がないので、手軽に充電を行うことができる。
【００４１】
５．携帯電話およびその充電台の場合（その２）
図１１および図１２は充電台６０の他の例を示し、図１１は充電台６０の上面カバー６２を取り外した状態の平面図、図１２は図１１のＢ−Ｂ線における断面図である。
【００４２】
そして、この例においては、支持板６３の上面両側に、ガイド６３Ａ、６３Ｂが互いに平行に形成される。図１１および図１２は、ガイド６３Ａ、６３Ｂは、支持板６３と一体に形成された場合である。そして、これらガイド６３Ａ、６３Ｂの間に、給電コイル２２および永久磁石６５Ａ、６５Ｂを有する可動板６４が可動自在に配置される。
【００４３】
また、上面カバー６２の上面には、携帯電話５０を置くことのできるエリアを示すマーク６７が例えば印刷により設けられている。なお、携帯電話６０は、例えば図８に示すように構成される。
【００４４】
このような構成によれば、携帯電話５０を充電台６０のマーク６７のエリアに置くと、上述のように磁石５１Ａ、５１Ｂと磁石６５Ａ、６５Ｂとが引き合い、磁石６５Ａ、６５Ｂは、携帯電話５０の磁石５１Ａ、５１Ｂと対向する位置まで移動するので、給電コイル２２と受電コイル２２とが正しく対向することになり、その結果、給電コイル２２に供給された発振電圧が受電コイル２２に供給される。
【００４５】
この場合、給電コイル２２の移動できる範囲は、ガイド６３Ａ、６３Ｂにより制限されるが、携帯電話５０を充電台６０に置くとき、携帯電話５０が落ちてしまうような場所におくことはないので、給電コイル２２の移動できる範囲をガイド６３Ａ、６３Ｂにより携帯電話５０を安定に置いておくことのできる範囲に制限しても問題はなく、むしろ制限することにより磁石５１Ａ、５１Ｂおよび６３Ａ、６３Ｂとして磁力の弱いものでも使うことができる。
【００４６】
また、ガイド６３Ａ、６３Ｂにより給電コイル２２および磁石６５Ａ、６５Ｂが充電台６０に対して回転することがなくなるので、磁石６５Ａ、６５Ｂの一方を鉄片などの磁性片とすることもできる。
【００４７】
６．その他
図１、図２および図６に示す例において、受電コイル１６および給電コイル２２の両側に、図８〜図１０の例と同様に、永久磁石５１Ａ、５１Ｂおよび６５Ａ、６５Ｂを配置すれば、受電コイル１６および給電コイル２２をより確実に対向させることができる。さらに、図１などに示すテレビ受像機１０において、充電台２０の凹部２１を立方体状として箱体１１を凹部２１に内接させることもできる。
【００４８】
また、図１１および図１２に示す充電台６０において、ガイド６３Ａ、６３Ｂは、給電コイル２２および永久磁石６５Ａ、６５Ｂの可動範囲を制限ないし規整するものであればよい。
【００４９】
さらに、図１および図２のテレビ受像機１０においては、アーム１４により受電コイル１６を支持したが、例えば箱体１１の内側に、別の半球状の箱体を同心状に配置し、それら箱体の間隙に、受電コイル１６を移動自在に配置することもできる。
【００５０】
また、上述においては、この発明を、テレビ受像機１０、犬型ロボット３０および携帯電話５０と、その充電台２０、４０、６０とに適用した場合であるが、リモコン（遠隔操作）の送信機、ＰＤＡ、コードレス電話の子機、パーソナルコンピュータ、ＡＶ機器、ひげ剃り、電動歯ブラシなどの家電機器、各種の玩具、電動自転車、電気自動車など、非接触で給電装置から対象となる機器に電力を供給する場合であれば、この発明を適用することができる。
【００５１】
さらに、上述においては、重力あるいは永久磁石の磁力により給電コイル２２と受電コイル１６とを対向させた場合であるが、例えば水中における浮力や軽量ガスを用いて浮かすなどとすることもできる。あるいはアドバルーンや風船、漁船、水中で使用する玩具の船や魚などにも、この発明を適用することができる。また、永久磁石に代えて電磁石とすることもできる。

【発明の効果】
この発明によれば、重力あるいは磁力により給電コイルと受電コイルとが対向するようにしているので、給電コイルから受電コイルに効率よく電力を供給することができる。また、多数の給電コイルや受電コイルを必要としないので、コストの上昇を抑えることができるとともに、効率よく電力を供給することができるとともに、不要な電磁界の放射を抑えることもできる。
【００５４】
さらに、テレビ受像機およびその充電台の場合には、ユーザはテレビ受像機の向きを簡単に自分の見やすい向きに変更することができる。しかも、そのために複雑な関節機構などを必要としない。また、携帯電話およびその充電台などの場合には、携帯電話を充電台に置くときの向きや置く位置を気にする必要がなく、手軽に充電を行うことができる。

However, in the case of the charging device as shown in FIG. 13, the power feeding coil 3 and the power receiving coil 6 must face each other correctly, and the distance between them must be close to each other within several mm. For example, when the interval between the two coils 3 and 6 is about 6 mm or more, when extracting necessary power from the power receiving coil 6, it is necessary to supply extremely large power to the power feeding coil 3, and from the viewpoint of heat generation and energy saving, etc. And environmentally unfavorable.
[0008]
In addition, the power feeding coil 3 and the power receiving coil 6 need to be not only close to each other but also face each other correctly, that is, the winding centers of both the coils 3 and 6 need to be located on the same line. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 13, the conventional charging device 1 is formed with a concave portion 1A, and when the mobile phone 1 is placed in the concave portion 1A, the power supply coil 3 and the power receiving coil 6 are correctly opposed. Has been.
[0009]
However, in such a case, the degree of freedom in designing the charging stand 1 is reduced. In addition, when the mobile phone 4 is turned to the front so that it can be easily taken out, it is necessary to perform every charging stand, which becomes unstable. Furthermore, in an audio-visual device such as a television receiver, the orientation of the screen (up and down and left and right angles) cannot be adjusted to an angle that is easy for the user to see, and the degree of freedom in arrangement during charging is completely lost.
[0010]
Further, it is conceivable to provide an arm or a joint mechanism or the like externally to change the orientation of the screen as in a liquid crystal display of a personal computer, but in that case, the joint mechanism is exposed to the outside. Therefore, the degree of freedom in design is reduced.
[0011]
The present invention is intended to solve the above problems.
[0012]

[0013]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
1. In the case of a TV receiver and its charging stand (part 1)
1 and 2 show an example of a television receiver to which the present invention is applied and a charging stand thereof, and FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing a vertical cross section including the front-rear direction of the television receiver 10 and the charging stand 20. FIG. 2 is a schematic front view thereof.
[0014]
The entirety of the television receiver 10 is a hemisphere of a predetermined size. That is, the box 11 is formed in a hemispherical shape obtained by cutting a hollow sphere by a plane passing through the center thereof, and is formed in a shell shape having a uniform thickness. Therefore, the box 11 is formed in a substantially bowl shape. A lid 12 is provided in the opening. The box 11 is formed of a non-magnetic material such as a plastic material.
[0015]
Although not shown, a load circuit, that is, a receiving circuit of the television receiver 10, a rechargeable battery serving as a power supply thereof, and a charging circuit thereof are provided inside the box 11. Is provided with an LCD panel 13.
[0016]
Further, a linear arm 14 is provided inside the box 11, one end of which is rotatably supported by a hook 15 provided at the center of the lid 12, and a power receiving coil 16 is provided at the other end. . In this case, the power receiving coil 16 is provided such that its winding center is in the length direction of the arm 14 and the lower surface of the coil 16 is close to the inner surface of the box 11. The arm 14 and the power receiving coil 16 are set to a predetermined weight so that the arm 14 always faces in the perpendicular direction due to gravity, and a weight (not shown) is added as necessary.
[0017]
On the other hand, the charging stand 20 has a box body made of a non-magnetic material and has a concave portion 21 at an upper portion thereof. When the television receiver 10 is placed here, the concave portion 21 is for circumscribing the hemispherical television receiver 10 and stably supporting or receiving the same. The curvature is approximately equal to the outer diameter of the box 11. A power supply circuit and a power supply coil 22 are provided inside the charging stand 20. In this case, the power feeding coil 22 is positioned so as to be as close as possible to the power receiving coil 16 at a position facing the power receiving coil 16 located at the lowest point due to gravity, and the winding center is in the perpendicular direction. Provided.
[0018]
The charging circuit built in the television receiver 10 and the power supply circuit built in the charging stand 20 are configured as shown in FIG. 3, for example. That is, in the power supply circuit 23 of the charging stand 20, the commercial AC voltage is supplied to the rectifier circuit 232 through the power plug 231 to be a DC voltage having a predetermined magnitude, and this DC voltage is supplied to the oscillation circuit 233 as its operating voltage. As a result, an oscillation voltage having a predetermined frequency is formed, and the oscillation voltage is supplied to the power supply coil 22. Note that, at this time, the oscillation circuit 233 may include an oscillation transistor and an oscillation transformer, and the output coil of the oscillation transformer may be the power supply coil 22.
[0019]
In addition, in the charging circuit 17 of the television receiver 10, as described later, since the oscillation voltage of the oscillation circuit 233 is obtained in the power receiving coil 16, the oscillation voltage is supplied to the rectification circuit 171 and rectified to a DC voltage. This DC voltage is supplied to the charge control circuit 172. Then, a charging voltage is taken out from the charging control circuit 172, and this charging voltage is supplied to the rechargeable battery 173 and also to each part of the television receiver 10 as its operating voltage.
[0020]
According to such a configuration, when the television receiver 10 is placed in the recess 21 of the charging stand 20, the box 11 of the television receiver 10 has a hemispherical shape, and the recess 21 corresponds to the box 11. Since the curvature is set as described above, the television receiver 10 can be placed in any direction. Then, at that time, regardless of the orientation of the television receiver 10, the arm 14 is oriented in the perpendicular direction by gravity, so that the power receiving coil 16 correctly faces the power feeding coil 22.
[0021]
Therefore, regardless of the orientation of the television receiver 10, the oscillation voltage supplied to the power supply coil 22 is transmitted to the power receiving coil 16 by electromagnetic induction, so that the rechargeable battery 173 is charged and the rechargeable battery 173 is charged. The voltage is supplied to each part of the television receiver 10 as its operating voltage. Therefore, the television broadcast is received by the television receiver 10, and the image is displayed on the LCD panel 13.
[0022]
In practice, the orientation of the television receiver 10 does not need to be changed so much. Therefore, when the orientation of the television receiver 10 is changed within a practical range inside the box 11, A charging circuit 17, a receiving circuit, and the like can be provided in a portion where the receiving coil 16 does not contact.
[0023]
Thus, according to the above-described television receiver 10 and charging stand 20, the rechargeable battery 173 can be charged and television broadcasting can be viewed. In this case, the orientation of the television receiver 10, that is, the LCD, Even if the elevation angle, the left-right direction, and the inclination of the panel 13 are changed, the power receiving coil 16 correctly opposes the power feeding coil 22 due to gravity, so that power can be efficiently supplied from the power feeding coil 22 to the power receiving coil 16.
[0024]
Further, for example, even if a large number of power receiving coils are arranged in the box body 11 with respect to one power feeding coil 22, or if many power receiving coils are arranged in the concave portion 21 with respect to one power receiving coil 16, While being able to charge, the direction of the television receiver 10 can be freely changed. However, in the former case, it is necessary to supply a large amount of power to the power supply coil 22 and the efficiency is reduced. In the latter case, it is necessary to switch the effective coils to increase the power supply efficiency. This leads to an increase in cost. However, according to the above-described configuration, the power supply coil 22 and the power reception coil 16 need only be one set, and the supplied power is also minimized. Further, unnecessary radiation of an electromagnetic field can be suppressed.
[0025]
In addition, since the television receiver 10 has a box 11 having a hemispherical shape and a concave portion 21 of the charging stand 20 having a corresponding curvature, the user can easily set the orientation of the television receiver 10 to his or her own. It can be changed to an easy-to-view direction. In addition, there is no need for an arm or a complicated joint mechanism. In addition to this, the reliability can be improved, and a dustproof mechanism, a waterproof mechanism, and the like can be incorporated.
[0026]
2. In the case of a TV receiver and its charging stand (part 2)
FIG. 4 is a sectional view showing another example of the television receiver 10 and the charging stand 20 to which the present invention is applied, and schematically showing a vertical section including the front-rear direction thereof. In this example, the arm 14 of the television receiver 10 shown in FIG. 1 has an L-shape or a L-shape, a bent portion thereof is rotatably supported by the hook 15, and a weight 18 is provided at one end thereof. The power receiving coil 16 is provided at the other end.
[0027]
In this case, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, since the power receiving coil 16 is located at the rear of the television receiver 10 by the weight 18, the charging stand 20 is located at a position corresponding to the power receiving coil 16 correctly. A power supply coil 22 is provided.
[0028]
Therefore, also in this example, the television receiver 10 can be set to any direction that is easy for the user to see, and even in such a state, power can be supplied to the television receiver 10. In addition, by selecting the bending angle of the arm 18, the degree of freedom in the location of the feeding coil 22 is increased.
[0029]
3. 5 and 6 show an example in which the present invention is applied to a dog-shaped robot and its charging stand. FIG. 5 shows the dog-shaped robot 30 sitting on the charging stand 40. FIG. 6 is a schematic sectional view of a main part of FIG.
[0030]
The robot 30 is designed as a dog type as a whole, and its mechanism and circuit are configured so as to realize movement as a dog type robot. The buttocks 31 of the robot 30 are formed in a hollow hemisphere. Inside the buttocks 31, the arms 14, hooks 15, and power receiving coils 16 are provided in the same manner as in the case of the television receiver 10 in FIGS. Can be The charging circuit 17 shown in FIG. 3 is also provided inside the robot 30.
[0031]
Further, the charging stand 40 is configured, for example, as a whole to be flat, and its upper surface is formed as a concave surface having a curvature corresponding to the buttocks 31, and the power feeding coil 22 is provided inside the charging stand 40 as in the case of the charging stand 20 in FIGS. 1 and 2. Is provided. In addition, a power supply circuit 23 shown in FIG. 3 is also provided inside the charging stand 20.
[0032]
According to such a configuration, for example, when the remaining amount of the rechargeable battery 173 is low, the user can charge the robot 30 by sitting the robot 30 on the charging stand 40 or by learning the robot 30. If the user sits on the table 40, the power receiving coil 16 faces the power feeding coil 22, so that the rechargeable battery 173 can be charged.
[0033]
Also, for example, as shown in FIG. 7, even when the robot 30 puts the buttocks 31 on the charging stand 40 and lays down, the power receiving coil 16 faces the power feeding coil 22 and the rechargeable battery 173 can be charged. Therefore, charging can be performed even when the robot 30 is sitting on the charging stand 40 as shown in FIG. 5, or when lying down or sleeping as shown in FIG.
[0034]
4. In the case of a mobile phone and its charging stand (1)
8 to 10 show an example in which the present invention is applied to a mobile phone and its charging stand, and FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing a horizontal cross section when the mobile phone 50 is placed horizontally. FIG. 9 is a plan view of the charging stand 60 with the top cover removed, and FIG. 10 is a state in which the mobile phone 50 is placed on the charging stand 60, taken along line AA in FIGS. 8 and 9. It is sectional drawing which shows a cross section.
[0035]
The mobile phone 50 is configured as an elongated rectangular parallelepiped as a whole, and the power receiving coil 22 and a pair of permanent magnets 51A and 51B are provided on the back surface thereof. In this case, the power receiving coil 22 is provided such that the axis of its winding is in the front-rear direction (thickness direction) of the mobile phone 50, and the magnets 51 </ b> A and 51 </ b> B are symmetrical with the power receiving coil 22 therebetween. , The direction of the magnetic pole is provided in the front-back direction of the mobile phone 50. The mobile phone 50 is also provided with the charging circuit 17 and the rechargeable battery 173 in FIG.
[0036]
On the other hand, the charging stand 60 has a box 61 and an upper cover 62 formed as a whole in a rectangular parallelepiped shape, and a support plate 63 is provided inside the charging stand 60 in parallel with the upper cover 62. The top cover 62 is made thin by a non-magnetic material such as a plastic material as long as necessary strength can be obtained. A movable plate 64 is movably disposed on the upper surface of the support plate 63, and the power supply coil 22 and a pair of permanent magnets 65A and 65B are provided on the upper surface of the movable plate 64.
[0037]
In this case, the feeding coil 22 is fixed to the movable plate 64 such that the axis of the winding is in the vertical direction, that is, the direction orthogonal to the upper surface cover 62 and the support plate 63. The magnets 65A, 65B are fixed to the movable plate 64 in a direction symmetrical to the magnets 51A, 51B with the power supply coil 22 therebetween and at the same interval as the magnets 51A, 51B, and in a direction to attract the magnets 51A, 51B. Is done. Further, the length of the power supply coil 22 and the magnets 65A and 65B in the vertical direction and the position of the support plate 63 are set such that the upper ends thereof are close to the upper surface cover 62. The power supply circuit 23 shown in FIG. 3 is provided in a space between the support plate 63 and the box 61.
[0038]
According to such a configuration, when the mobile phone 50 is placed at an arbitrary position on the upper surface of the top cover 62 of the charging stand 60, the magnets 51A and 51B inside the mobile phone 50 and the magnets 65A inside the charging base 60, 65B. At this time, since the magnets 65A and 65B are provided on the movable plate 64, the magnets 65A and 65B move to positions facing the magnets 51A and 51B of the mobile phone 50, and as a result, the power supply coil 22 also moves. As a result, the power receiving coil 22 is correctly opposed.
[0039]
Therefore, the oscillation voltage supplied to the power feeding coil 22 is transmitted to the power receiving coil 22 regardless of the position where the mobile phone 50 is placed, and the rechargeable battery 173 of the mobile phone 50 is appropriately charged, and The voltage of the battery 173 is supplied to each section of the mobile phone 50 as its operating voltage. Thus, according to the above-described mobile phone 50 and charging stand 60, the rechargeable battery 173 can be charged, and an incoming call can be received even during charging.
[0040]
And in this case, no matter where the mobile phone 50 is placed on the charging stand 60, the magnets 51A and 51B and the magnets 65A and 65B attract each other and the power receiving coil 22 correctly faces the power feeding coil 22. When charging the rechargeable battery 173, the mobile phone 50 may be simply placed on the charging stand 60, and there is no need to worry about the orientation and position of the mobile phone 50, so that charging can be performed easily.
[0041]
5. In the case of a mobile phone and its charging base (part 2)
11 and 12 show another example of the charging stand 60, FIG. 11 is a plan view of the charging stand 60 with the top cover 62 removed, and FIG. 12 is a cross-sectional view taken along line BB of FIG.
[0042]
In this example, guides 63A and 63B are formed on both sides of the upper surface of the support plate 63 in parallel with each other. 11 and 12 show a case where the guides 63A and 63B are formed integrally with the support plate 63. A movable plate 64 having the power supply coil 22 and the permanent magnets 65A and 65B is movably disposed between the guides 63A and 63B.
[0043]
In addition, a mark 67 indicating an area where the mobile phone 50 can be placed is provided on the upper surface of the upper cover 62 by, for example, printing. The mobile phone 60 is configured as shown in FIG. 8, for example.
[0044]
According to such a configuration, when the mobile phone 50 is placed in the area of the mark 67 of the charging stand 60, the magnets 51A and 51B and the magnets 65A and 65B attract as described above, and the magnets 65A and 65B The power supply coil 22 and the power reception coil 22 correctly oppose each other, and as a result, the oscillation voltage supplied to the power supply coil 22 is supplied to the power reception coil 22. .
[0045]
In this case, the movable range of the power supply coil 22 is limited by the guides 63A and 63B. However, when the mobile phone 50 is placed on the charging stand 60, it is not placed in a place where the mobile phone 50 falls. There is no problem even if the range in which the feeding coil 22 can be moved is limited to the range in which the mobile phone 50 can be stably placed by the guides 63A and 63B, but rather, the magnets 51A and 51B and 63A and 63B serve as magnets. You can use even weak ones.
[0046]
Further, since the feeding coil 22 and the magnets 65A and 65B are not rotated with respect to the charging stand 60 by the guides 63A and 63B, one of the magnets 65A and 65B can be a magnetic piece such as an iron piece.
[0047]
6. In addition, in the examples shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 6, if permanent magnets 51A, 51B and 65A, 65B are arranged on both sides of the power receiving coil 16 and the power supply coil 22 as in the examples of FIGS. 8 to 10, The power receiving coil 16 and the power feeding coil 22 can be more reliably opposed to each other. Further, in the television receiver 10 shown in FIG. 1 and the like, the concave portion 21 of the charging stand 20 may be formed in a cubic shape, and the box body 11 may be inscribed in the concave portion 21.
[0048]
In the charging stand 60 shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the guides 63A and 63B may be any as long as they limit or regulate the movable range of the power supply coil 22 and the permanent magnets 65A and 65B.
[0049]
Further, in the television receiver 10 of FIGS. 1 and 2, the power receiving coil 16 is supported by the arm 14, but another hemispherical box is concentrically arranged inside the box 11, for example. The power receiving coil 16 can also be movably disposed in the body gap.
[0050]
In the above description, the present invention is applied to the television receiver 10, the dog-shaped robot 30, the mobile phone 50, and the charging bases 20, 40, and 60. Non-contact power supply from a power supply device to a target device, such as a PDA, a cordless phone handset, a personal computer, an AV device, a home appliance such as a shaver, an electric toothbrush, various toys, an electric bicycle, and an electric vehicle. If so, the present invention can be applied.
[0051]
Further, in the above description, the power supply coil 22 and the power receiving coil 16 are opposed to each other by gravity or the magnetic force of a permanent magnet. However, for example, the power supply coil 22 may be floated by using buoyancy in water or light gas. Alternatively, the present invention can be applied to an ad balloon, a balloon, a fishing boat, a toy boat or a fish used underwater. Further, an electromagnet can be used instead of the permanent magnet.
