Description

本発明は、携帯電話等の携帯型通信装置に関し、特に、通信時に操作される複数の入力キーを有し、電源として2次電池を用いる携帯型通信装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a portable communication device such as a mobile phone, and more particularly to a portable communication device having a plurality of input keys operated during communication and using a secondary battery as a power source.

従来から、携帯電話等の携帯通信機器が利用されている。
携帯通信機器の発達により通信機能のみならずマルチメディア端末としての進化を加速させている。
携帯通信機器の多機能化、利便性の向上にともない、機器の消費電力が増大し電池の消耗が激しくなり、外出先において電池が切れるケースが多くみられる。
電池切れによって携帯通信機器として使用できなくなること及び保存しているデータを全く参照できなくなることは致命的であり、また、電池切れに対応するためには常に外部の充電機器を携帯する必要があり不便極まりない。
Conventionally, mobile communication devices such as mobile phones have been used.
With the development of mobile communication devices, not only communication functions but also evolution as multimedia terminals is being accelerated.
With the increase in functionality and convenience of portable communication devices, the power consumption of the devices increases and the consumption of the batteries becomes severe, so that there are many cases where the batteries run out while away from home.
It is fatal that the battery cannot be used as a portable communication device due to running out of battery and that stored data cannot be referenced at all, and it is always necessary to carry an external charging device to cope with running out of battery. There is no inconvenience.

一方、特許文献1には、機体内部に振り子式磁極を設け、身体が揺れるときに前記振り子式磁極が往復して発電し、携帯電話を充電する携帯電話用携帯型充電装置が開示されている。前記携帯型充電装置は、携帯電話と別体に構成されており、携帯電話とは別に携帯する必要があるため、前述したように不便極まりないという問題がある。   On the other hand, Patent Document 1 discloses a portable charging device for a mobile phone in which a pendulum magnetic pole is provided inside the fuselage, and the pendulum magnetic pole reciprocates when the body shakes to generate power and charge the mobile phone. . Since the portable charging device is configured separately from the cellular phone and needs to be carried separately from the cellular phone, there is a problem that it is not inconvenient as described above.

特許文献2には、キーによって圧電素子に圧力を加えて発電するようにしたノート型パソコン等の情報処理機器が開示されている。前記情報処理機器では、単に圧電素子で発生する電力を電源として利用しているにすぎないため、機器に必要な電圧の電力が得られない恐れがある。
また、特許文献3には、携帯電話機用充電機構が開示されている。前記充電機構では、磁気を帯びた部分と誘導コイルとを用いた構成である。したがって、構造が大きくなるため、携帯電話等に用いる場合には、小型化が困難になるという問題がある。
Patent Document 2 discloses an information processing device such as a notebook computer that generates power by applying pressure to a piezoelectric element with a key. Since the information processing device simply uses the power generated by the piezoelectric element as a power source, there is a possibility that the power of the voltage necessary for the device cannot be obtained.
Patent Document 3 discloses a charging mechanism for a mobile phone. The charging mechanism uses a magnetic part and an induction coil. Therefore, since the structure becomes large, there is a problem that it is difficult to reduce the size when used in a mobile phone or the like.

図2において、操作部12は、押圧操作加工に構成された複数の入力キー21を備えている。また、電力発生部23は、各入力キー21に対応する位置に配設された複数の圧電素子22を備えている。各入力キー21は人の指により押圧操作されることにより、押圧操作された入力キー21に下に対応して配設された圧電素子22を加圧する。各加圧された圧電素子22は起電力を発生させ、複数の圧電素子22が発生したエネルギは後述する昇圧回路31へ出力される。尚、電力発生部23は電力発生手段を構成している。   In FIG. 2, the operation unit 12 includes a plurality of input keys 21 configured for pressing operation processing. The power generation unit 23 includes a plurality of piezoelectric elements 22 disposed at positions corresponding to the input keys 21. Each input key 21 is pressed by a human finger to pressurize the piezoelectric element 22 disposed below the input key 21 that has been pressed. Each pressurized piezoelectric element 22 generates an electromotive force, and energy generated by the plurality of piezoelectric elements 22 is output to a booster circuit 31 described later. The power generation unit 23 constitutes a power generation unit.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing portions related to charging in the mobile phone 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention.
In FIG. 3, the power generated by the power generator 23 is input to the booster circuit 31, and the voltage of the power generated by the power generator 23 is boosted by the booster circuit 31 to charge the secondary battery 14. Convert to voltage. The booster circuit 31 constitutes voltage converting means and boosting means.
The boosted voltage charges the secondary battery 14 built in the mobile phone 10. The secondary battery 14 is also connected to a known external charging system 32 that has been used conventionally, and has a function of being charged from the external power supply 33 via the charging system 32.

以上説明したように、本実施の形態に係る携帯電話10は、入力インターフェースである操作部12の複数のキー21の下に対応付けて複数の圧電素子22を配置する。各圧電素子22は対応するキー21を押すことにより加圧され起電力が生じる。複数の圧電素子22より生じた電圧を昇圧回路31に入力させ充電に適切な電圧に変換させる。昇圧された電圧を2次電池14に供給させ充電させる。   As described above, the cellular phone 10 according to the present embodiment arranges the plurality of piezoelectric elements 22 in association with the plurality of keys 21 of the operation unit 12 that is an input interface.

Voltages generated from the plurality of piezoelectric elements 22 are input to the booster circuit 31 and converted to voltages suitable for charging. The boosted voltage is supplied to the secondary battery 14 and charged.

このように、携帯電話10は、通信時に操作される複数の入力キーを有し、電源として2次電池を用いている。各入力キーに対応する位置には、電力発生部23内に圧電素子が配設され、各圧電素子は前記入力キーの操作によって電力を発生する。昇圧回路31は、前記圧電素子の出力を充電に適した電圧に昇圧して2次電池14を充電する。   Thus, the mobile phone 10 has a plurality of input keys operated during communication, and uses a secondary battery as a power source. Piezoelectric elements are disposed in the power generation unit 23 at positions corresponding to the input keys, and each piezoelectric element generates power by operating the input keys.
