Background technology
Effective use of the available energy is all very important for a plurality of reasons.All more pay close attention in the world the discharge of greenhouse gas, for example, from the fossil-fuel-fired carbon dioxide obtaining, can cause global warming.In addition, the energy is limited.The global energy shortage coexisting with geopolitics factor has driven the rising of energy cost.Effectively using of the energy is that prior budget is considered for energy resource consumption person thus.
The energy loss of delivery of electrical energy is mainly because the easy generation of electric wire of loaded current is overheated.In many cases, this is inevitably, because the electric wire of loaded current is for to electronic equipment, power supply is absolutely necessary, and the electric wire of loaded current has resistance.The work that overcomes this resistance generation produces heat in electric wire.
In other cases, energy loss is unnecessary.For example, electronic equipment is unnecessarily operation conventionally, and the energy of powering for the equipment to not being used is by real waste.Proposed for the various proposals that reduce the amount of energy of free device waste.For example, the joint project of energy Xing Shi Environmental Protection Agency USA and USDOE, it is authorized manufacturer's right and on the product of certain energy consumption standard, shows discernible label meeting.Energy star is attempted to reduce energy consumption by better energy management.
Effectively energy management has reduced energy dissipation.For example, notebook electric energy, it depends on the limited amount energy that the battery that carries provides, and with various measurements, keeps energy consumption minimum.Thus, after no longer working a period of time, computer automatically cuts off screen and hard disk drive, similarly, and when computer is forbidden network interface card when total transmit power line or network disconnect.The battery powered time span that such energy management strategy can be carried by it for increasing equipment.
Yet even when being connected to electric main, effective use of energy is also important.Many general electronic equipments move in low voltage DC, and conventionally use the transducer with AC-DC power supply adaptor, control the electric energy that it is provided.Energy star estimates that the Jin U.S. has been used 1,500,000,000 such power supply adaptors, for equipment for example MP3 player, PDA(Personal Digital Assistant), video camera, digital camera, emergency light, wireless and mobile phone.According to energy star, so about 3,000 hundred million kilowatt hour energy of the annual extraction of power supply adaptor, this is approximate is 11% of the whole national electricity charge of the U.S..

Alternatively, circuit breaker 420 can be further configured to and periodically power supply 240 is connected to induction electric energy outlet 200, thereby the charging of monitoring phone 342 is whole and fill it up with when needed electricity.Alternatively, induction electric energy outlet 200 can remain on its resting state, until triggered another pumping signal.
In order to understand better the embodiment of switching system 400, with reference now to the block diagram of Fig. 2 a.Block representation exports the main element of the connection between 200 in the first embodiment of switching system 400 for controlling the induction electric energy of power supply 240 and induction electric energy transfer system 100, power supply 240 is such as being on-vehicle battery etc.

With reference now to Fig. 2 b,, block diagram shows the main element of the second embodiment that represents switching system 1400.The induction electric energy that the second embodiment of switching system 1400 is configured to control power supply 1240 and induction electric energy transfer system 1100 again exports the connection between 1200.The special characteristic of the second embodiment of switching system is that trigger mechanism 1440 comprises pumping signal detector 1442, is configured to receive launch on one's own initiative pumping signal S by the signal projector 1444 relevant to induction electric energy receiver 300 '
a.
Various signal generator known in the art can be for the embodiment of active trigger mechanism 1440.Except other signals, pumping signal reflector 1444 is also launched mechanical signal, audio signal, supersonic speed signal, electromagnetic signal, infrared signal, radiofrequency signal etc.Typically, pumping signal reflector 1444 needs extra power supply 1360, electrochemical cell for example, and it is integrated in induction electric energy receiver 300 '.
When induction electric energy receiver 300 ' separates by intermediate materials and induction electric energy outlet 1200, pumping signal S
abeing chosen as can be by monitoring with induction electric energy outlet 1200 signal detectors that are associated 1442.Only, by the mode of non-limiting example, many materials are that part is translucent for infrared light.Had been found that the relatively low intensive infrared signal from LED etc. penetrates the common material of hundreds of micron, for example plastics, clamp, Fu meter Jia plastic facing or paper, this penetrates with enough angles the fluorescence detector after the 0.1mm plate of material such to 2mm can be received and processing signals.Fluorescence detector is such as being photodiode, phototransistor, photo resistance etc.For example, Everlight PD15-22C-TR8NPN photodiode can detect from the signal from Avago HSDL-4420LED in 850nm transmitting with 24 degree after 0.8mm Fu meter Jia plastic veneer.In order to send the object of signal, the decay of height can be tolerable, and a fraction of penetrating only, and the transmit signal strength such as 0.1% may be enough.
Below with reference to Fig. 3 a-h, show schematically showing of the various trigger mechanism 440A-H that use together with the embodiment with switching system.With particular reference to Fig. 3 a, the first embodiment of the 440A of magnetic trigger mechanism comprises reed switch 442A and accessory power supply 444A.
The magnetic element 482 being associated with induction electric energy receiver 300A is as passive exciter.The reed switch 442A of the first embodiment is magnetic switch, is selected such that when magnetic element 482 approaches reed switch 442A, and reed switch 442A is closed.Accessory power supply 444A is thus connected to the gate terminal of power supply MOSFET 422.When electronic signal arrives the gate terminal of MOSFET, between the source terminal of MOSFET 422 and drain electrode end, produce conductive path, thus power supply 240 is connected to induction electric energy outlet 200A.
When induction electric energy outlet disconnects from its main power source 240, select accessory power supply 444A electric energy is offered to trigger mechanism 440A.In the embodiment of trigger mechanism 440A, can use various accessory power supply 444A, such as electrochemical cell, capacitor etc., its can be configured to storage of electrical energy simultaneously when disconnecting induction electric energy outlet induction electric energy process and be connected to power supply 240 and use.Another accessory power supply can comprise generating element, such as solar cell, piezoelectric element, dynamical element etc.
Fig. 3 b shows the optional embodiment of trigger mechanism.The second embodiment of trigger mechanism 440B comprises hall-effect switch 441B.Hall-effect switch 442B can be configured to detect the increase in magnetic field, and this increase is and the result approaching according to the relevant exciting magnet element of electric energy receiver 300B.Should be understood that it is preferred that the hall-effect switch 442B of the second embodiment and the reed switch 442A of the first embodiment compare, wherein trigger mechanism is arranged in fixed magnetic field.For example, in this case, fixing alignment magnet 222 is associated with primary inductance 220.Hall-effect switch 442B can be configured to detect relevant to induction electric energy receiver 300B second the close of magnet 322 of aliging, and it is further used as the exciting magnet element 482 of trigger mechanism 440B.Will be further understood that other magnetic switchs can be as other embodiment of trigger mechanism, this is common to those skilled in the art.
The 3rd embodiment of trigger mechanism 440C has been shown in Fig. 3 c.The 3rd embodiment of trigger mechanism 440C comprises photovoltaic cell 442C, and it is converted to electric energy by light, produces thus the signal of telecommunication.When induction electric energy receiver 300C and induction electric energy outlet 200C aligns, the light inciding on photovoltaic cell 442C is blocked, and reduces thus to send to the electromotive force of the signal of telecommunication of circuit breaker 420.Thus, photovoltaic cell 442C can approaching for detection of induction electric energy receiver 300C.When correspondingly, circuit breaker 420 is configured to electromotive force when the signal of telecommunication from photovoltaic cell lower than threshold value, power supply 240 is connected to induction electric energy outlet 200C.
Should notice that the electromotive force being produced by single photovoltaic cell can be less than the driving voltage of MOSFET.For example, typical MOSFET can need the driving voltage of about 4-5V, and photovoltaic cell can produce the electromotive force that is less than 0.5V thus.In this case, a plurality of photovoltaic cells can be connected in series to increase the electromotive force generating.Alternatively, can use amplifying circuit, such as energy harvesting element etc.Other embodiment can trigger circuit breaker with photodiode or phototransistor.
The 4th embodiment of trigger mechanism has been shown in Fig. 3 d.The 4th embodiment of trigger mechanism 440D comprises piezoelectric element 442D, when this piezoelectric element 442 is placed under mechanical pressure, produces electromotive force.Piezoelectric element 442D is configured to withstanding pressure when induction electric energy receiver 300D aligns with primary inductance 220.As a result, when induction electric energy receiver aligns with primary inductance 220, produce the signal of telecommunication, this signal of telecommunication is used to forbid circuit breaker, for example, by the electromotive force of the gate terminal of MOSFET is increased to and is greater than threshold value.
With reference now to Fig. 3 e,, induction electric energy outlet 200E is shown as second embodiment with the 440E of magnetic trigger mechanism.Unlike above-mentioned and the first 440A of magnetic trigger mechanism Fig. 3 a associated description, the second embodiment of the 440E of magnetic trigger mechanism comprises the reed switch 442E that is connected to power supply 240.Alternatively, reed switch 442E is connected to power supply 240 by current limiting element (not shown), and current limiting element for example, such as being that resistor etc. provides to protect senser, reed switch 442E and MOSFET 422.Other embodiment can be used optional magnetic sensor, for example hall-effect switch.
When magnetic element 482E approaches the reed switch 442E of the second embodiment of magnetic trigger, reed switch 442E is closed.Thus, power supply 240 is connected to the gate terminal of power supply MOSFET 422 conventionally by current limit or other protection components.The signal of telecommunication arrives the gate terminal of MOSFET thus, produce conductive path, and power supply 240 is connected to induction electric energy outlet 200E between the source terminal of MOSFET422 and drain electrode end.Should notice that induction electric energy outlet 200E will not extract any electric current, unless the source electrode 428E that is magnetic triggers.
Below with reference to Fig. 3 f and 3g, further show induction electric energy outlet 200F, the 200G of two optional embodiment that are incorporated to trigger mechanism 440F, 440G, wherein capacitor 444F, 444G are as accessory power supply.Detector 442F, 442G are configured to, when applicable exciter 482F, 482G by being associated with induction electric energy receiver 300F, 300G encourage, to MOSFET 422, provide excitation potential.
With particular reference to Fig. 3 f, capacitor 444F is connected to power supply 240, by protection and/or current commutates element (not shown), bypass breaker MOSFET 422.Thus, capacitor 444F can be directly from power supply 240 chargings.Should be understood that very little charging current will initially be extracted by discharging capacitor 444F conventionally.Yet once capacitor 444F is charged completely, induction electric energy outlet 200F does not extract further electric current conventionally, until detector 442F is energized and extract electric energy from capacitor 444F.
Restriction is with reference to figure 3g; capacitor 444G is by MOSFET 422; typically by protection and/or current commutates element (not shown), be connected to power supply 240, make capacitor 444G not extract electric current until circuit breaker MOSFET 422 is connected to induction electric energy outlet 200G by power supply 240.
With reference now to Fig. 3 h,, show the main element of another trigger mechanism 440H.Trigger mechanism 440H can be incorporated to for excitation the circuit breaker 420H of another switching system of induction electric energy outlet 200H.Trigger mechanism 440H comprises microphone 442H, chargeable accessory power supply 444H and charging circuit 446H.
Microphone 442H is configured to detect the noise that the upper induction electric energy receiver 300H placing of induction electric energy outlet 200H produces.The sound being detected by microphone 442H can trigger the excitation of circuit breaker 420H so that power supply 240 is connected to induction electric energy outlet 200H via transformer 235 alternatively.
Should be understood that when power supply 240 disconnects with induction electric energy outlet 200H, accessory power supply 444H is necessary to power to microphone 442H.Thus, electrochemical cell, capacitor etc. can provide internal electric energy storage.Charging current 446H can regulate the charging of accessory power supply 444H.When appropriate, charging circuit 446H can operate to monitor the charged state of accessory power supply 444H, and the 200H of electric energy outlet is simultaneously dormancy, and as required charging circuit 446H is periodically reconnected to the rechargeable battery of accessory power supply 444H.
With reference now to Fig. 3 i,, shown circuit diagram shows the trigger mechanism 440I of example sound excitation, can operate induction electric energy is exported to (not shown) and be connected to power supply 240I.Trigger mechanism 440I comprises microphone 442I, exciter 448I, accessory power supply 444I and auxiliary charging circuit 446I.
AC power supplies 240I, for example electric main power supply, is connected to power supply adaptor 235I by circuit breaker 420I.Power supply adaptor 235I is configured to the AC from power supply 240I to input and be converted to the low voltage DC output being suitable for induction electric energy outlet power supply, is typically still also not exclusively about 18 volts.
Circuit breaker 420I comprises switch 422I and trigger 424I.Trigger 424I is configured to when the 440I of slave flipflop mechanism receives pumping signal energizing switch 422I so that power supply 240I is connected to power supply adaptor 235I.
Auxiliary charging circuit 446I is connected to the output of power supply adaptor 235I and can operates the accessory power supply 444I that charges, for example 3V battery.Accessory power supply 444I provides microphone 442I from electric energy to trigger mechanism 440I and exciter 448I.Thus, even between its rest period, microphone 442I can operate to monitor the sound that indication exists induction electric energy receiver (not shown).
Exciter 448I comprises sampler 443I, optical coupler 445I, active load detector 447I and accessory power supply monitor 449I.Optical coupler 445I is connected to the output of sampler 443I and can operates to encourage the trigger 424I of circuit breaker 420I, thereby power supply 240I is connected to power supply adaptor 235I.Sampler 443I is configured at least when microphone 442I detects sound, pumping signal be sent to optical coupler 445I.
Signal by microphone generating can be pulse.Yet when starting the pumping signal of optical coupler 445I, the prolongation signal that this sound can be produced by active load detector 447I keeps.
Active load detector 447I is configured to the voltage that monitoring offers the power supply of induction electric energy outlet.In the voltage fluctuation that offers the power supply of induction electric energy outlet, may indicate existence therefrom to extract the active load of electric energy.As long as active load detected, signal is sent to sampler 443I, and keeps the pumping signal of optical coupler 445I.
When active load stops extracting electric energy from induction electric energy outlet, for example, when equipment is charged completely or turn-offs, from the signal of active load detector 447I, will conventionally stop, having cancelled thus the pumping signal of optical coupler 445I.As a result, circuit breaker 420I can not work as when load is energized power supply 240I is disconnected from power supply adaptor 235I.
Accessory power supply watch-dog 449I is configured to monitor voltage that accessory power supply 444I generates and signal is sent to sampler 443I under voltage drops to threshold value time.Thus, when accessory power supply 444I need to charge again, pumping signal sends to optical coupler 445I, makes power supply 240I reconnect to power supply adaptor 235I, until the voltage on accessory power supply 444I is greater than threshold value.
