Description

  The present invention relates to a power transmission system that transmits and receives power wirelessly by a magnetic resonance method.

  In recent years, development of technology for transmitting electric power (electric energy) wirelessly without using a power cord or the like has become active. Among wireless transmission methods, there is a technique called magnetic resonance as a technology that has attracted particular attention. This magnetic resonance method was proposed by a research group of Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2007, and a technology related to this is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2009-501510.

  A magnetic resonance wireless power transmission system efficiently transmits energy from a power transmission side antenna to a power reception side antenna by making the resonance frequency of the power transmission side antenna and the resonance frequency of the power reception side antenna the same. One of the major features is that the power transmission distance can be several tens of centimeters to several meters.

  When such a magnetic resonance wireless power transmission system is used in a power supply station of a vehicle such as an electric vehicle, a power receiving antenna is mounted on the bottom of the vehicle, and the power receiving antenna is connected to the power receiving antenna. A method of feeding power from a power transmission antenna embedded on the ground can be considered. In such a power transmission mode, it is difficult to completely electromagnetically couple between the power transmission side antenna and the power reception side antenna, and noise emitted from the antenna is generated. This may cause a temperature rise.

  Therefore, in the wireless power transmission system, it is necessary to consider a measure for reducing noise generated from the antenna.

As a technique for reducing high-frequency noise, for example, Patent Document 2 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2010-87024) discloses a conductor having a loop-shaped closed path, a closed path, and an electric circuit in the vicinity of a noise generation source. It is disclosed to provide a resonant circuit composed of a capacitor that is connected electrically.

  Next, circuit constants (inductance component and capacitance component) of the primary resonator 150 and the secondary resonator 250 configured as described above will be described. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an equivalent circuit of the power transmission system 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  In the power transmission system 100 according to the present invention, the circuit constants (inductance component, capacitance component) of the primary resonator 150 and the circuit constants of the secondary resonator 250 are intentionally different from each other, so that the transmission efficiency can be improved. To improve.

In the equivalent circuit shown in FIG. 3, the inductance component of the primary resonator 150 is L ₁ , the capacitance component is C ₁ , the resistance component is Rt ₁ , the inductance component of the secondary resonator 250 is L ₂ , and the capacitance component is C ₂ , the resistance component is Rt ₂ , and the mutual inductance between the primary resonator 150 and the secondary resonator 250 is M. The resistance component Rt ₁ and the resistance component Rt ₂ are internal resistances such as conductive wires, and are not intentionally provided. R represents the internal resistance of the battery 204. The coupling coefficient between the primary resonator 150 and the secondary resonator 250 is indicated by K.

In the present embodiment, the primary resonator 150 is a series resonator having an inductance component L ₁ and a capacitance component C ₁ , and the secondary resonator 250 is an inductance component L ₂ and a capacitance component C ₂ . Consider a series resonator.

  First, in the magnetic resonance type power transmission, when power is efficiently transmitted from the primary resonator 150 on the power transmission system 100 side to the secondary resonator 250 on the power receiving side system 200 side, By making the resonance frequency and the resonance frequency of the secondary resonator 250 the same, energy is efficiently transferred from the power transmission side antenna (primary resonator 150) to the power reception side antenna (secondary resonator 250). Like to do. The condition for this can be expressed by the following formula (1).

これを、インダクタンス成分がＬ₁、キャパシタンス成分がＣ₁、インダクタンス成分がＬ₂、キャパシタンス成分がＣ₂のみの関係で示すと、下式（２）に要約することができる。

This can be summarized by the following equation (2) when the inductance component is L ₁ , the capacitance component is C ₁ , the inductance component is L ₂ , and the capacitance component is C ₂ only.

また、１次共振器１５０のインピーダンスは下式（３）により、また、２次共振器２５０のインピーダンスは下式（４）により、表すことができる。なお、本明細書においては、下式（３）及び下式（４）によって定義される値をそれぞれの共振器のインピーダンスとして定義する。

Further, the impedance of the primary resonator 150 can be expressed by the following equation (3), and the impedance of the secondary resonator 250 can be expressed by the following equation (4). In the present specification, values defined by the following expressions (3) and (4) are defined as impedances of the respective resonators.

磁気共鳴方式の電力伝送システム１００の受電側システムにおいて、電池２０４が定電圧充電モードに移行すると、電池２０４の電圧が一定なので、充電電力によって入力インピーダンスが変化する。電池２０４への充電電力が大きければ入力インピーダンスは低く、充電電力が小さければ入力インピーダンスは高くなる。受電側における２次共振器２５０は、効率の面から、電池２０４の充電電力に応じた入力インピーダンスに近いインピーダンスに設定することが望ましい。

In the power receiving side system of the magnetic resonance type power transmission system 100, when the battery 204 shifts to the constant voltage charging mode, the voltage of the battery 204 is constant, so the input impedance changes depending on the charging power. If the charging power to the battery 204 is large, the input impedance is low, and if the charging power is small, the input impedance is high. The secondary resonator 250 on the power receiving side is desirably set to an impedance close to the input impedance corresponding to the charging power of the battery 204 in terms of efficiency.

  On the other hand, the input impedance to the primary resonator 150 viewed from the power source on the power transmission side is better as it is higher in terms of efficiency. This is because a loss occurs in proportion to the square of the current due to the internal resistance of the power supply.

  From the above, the relationship of the following equation (5) is satisfied between the impedance of the primary resonator 150 expressed by the equation (3) and the impedance of the secondary resonator 250 expressed by the equation (4). It is desirable that

これを、インダクタンス成分がＬ₁、キャパシタンス成分がＣ₁、インダクタンス成分がＬ₂、キャパシタンス成分がＣ₂のみの関係で示すと、下式（６）に要約することができる。

This can be summarized by the following equation (6) when the inductance component is L ₁ , the capacitance component is C ₁ , the inductance component is L ₂ , and the capacitance component is C ₂ only.

本発明に係る電力伝送システム１００においては、１次共振器１５０の回路定数と、２次共振器２５０の回路定数とが上記の式（２）及び式（６）を満たすようにされているために、受電側システムで電池２０４の充電を行う場合に、効率的な電力伝送を行うことが可能となる。

In the power transmission system 100 according to the present invention, the circuit constant of the primary resonator 150 and the circuit constant of the secondary resonator 250 satisfy the above formulas (2) and (6). In addition, when the battery 204 is charged by the power receiving side system, efficient power transmission can be performed.

  Further, the relationship with the internal impedance of the battery 204 will also be mentioned. In the power receiving side system, as a condition for efficiently charging the battery 204, the impedance of the secondary resonator 250 and the impedance of the battery 204 can be matched.

  That is, in the present embodiment, in addition to the conditions of the expressions (2) and (6), the impedance between the secondary resonator 250 of the expression (4) and the impedance R of the battery 204 is

の関係を持たせることで、受電側システムで電池２０４の充電を行う場合、システム全体として、効率的な電力伝送を行うことを可能としている。

Thus, when the battery 204 is charged in the power receiving side system, efficient power transmission can be performed as the entire system.

  Next, countermeasures against noise leakage in the power transmission system 100 configured as described above will be described.

On the other hand, the secondary resonator coil 260 and the secondary resonator capacitor 270 constituting the secondary resonator 250 are housed in the secondary resonator case 240 and attached to the bottom surface of the vehicle.

  When power transmission is performed in the power transmission system 100 in the above situation, a region is generated in the peripheral portion where the primary resonator 150 and the secondary resonator 250 are not opposed to each other but the electromagnetic field strength is high. As a result, noise leaks.

  Such an electromagnetic field leaked from the resonator during power transmission can enter the metal part of the vehicle and heat it, or can leak from between the bottom of the vehicle and the ground, affecting the environment and the human body. It is not preferable because of its properties.

  Therefore, in the power transmission system 100 according to the present invention, it is possible to reduce the leakage as described above by disposing the noise canceling resonator 300 in the vicinity of the primary resonator 150 that is an antenna on the power transmission side. It is possible to suppress the influence on the environment and the human body due to leakage of the electromagnetic field.

On the other hand, the noise canceling resonator 300 is composed of a series connection of a noise canceling resonator coil 310 having an inductance component L _n and a noise canceling resonator capacitor 320 having a capacitance component C _n . It is assumed that the electromagnetic field (noise) leaking from the primary resonator 150 without contributing to power transmission is removed.

L _m is a mutual inductance between the primary resonator coil 160 and the noise canceling resonator coil 310.

  The noise canceling resonator 300 actually has a closed structure at the terminal portion (2), but in FIG. 6, it is recognized as a power transmission circuit from the primary resonator 150 to the noise canceling resonator 300. The characteristics of the noise canceling resonator 300 will be described.

  On the other hand, when the primary resonator 150 is driven at the second extreme frequency, which is the higher extreme frequency, and power is transmitted, the primary resonator coil 160 of the primary resonator 150 and noise The noise canceling resonator coil 310 of the canceling resonator 300 is coupled with an electric wall condition.

  Hereinafter, the concept of the electric wall and the magnetic wall generated on the symmetry plane between the primary resonator coil 160 of the primary resonator 150 and the noise cancel resonator coil 310 of the noise cancel resonator 300 will be described.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram schematically showing the state of current and electric field at the first extreme frequency (frequency at the time of magnetic wall condition coupling). At the first extreme frequency, the current flowing through the primary resonator coil 160 and the current flowing through the noise canceling resonator coil 310 have substantially the same phase, and the positions where the magnetic field vectors are aligned are the primary resonator coil 160 and the noise.
