Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a wireless charging apparatus capable of aligning a transceiver,

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a wireless charging apparatus capable of aligning a transceiver, and more particularly, to a wireless charging apparatus capable of aligning a transmitter and a receiver by magnetic force, will be.

Recently, interest in energy-IT convergence technology is increasing. Energy-IT fusion technology is a fusion of IT technology that is rapidly developing into conventional energy technology, and there is Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) technology as a field of such energy-IT fusion technology. The term "wireless power transmission" refers to a technique of supplying power to household electric appliances or electric vehicles wirelessly instead of the conventional wired electric power lines. Conventionally, in order to charge household electric appliances, a power cable, which is wired from a power outlet to an electric appliance or a charger, Related researches have been actively carried out because of the advantage of being able to charge household appliances and the like wirelessly without connection.

Wireless power transmission technologies that are currently being commercialized or researched can be broadly divided into four types. One of them is a high power microwave radiation system. Since this system can transmit high power using a frequency of several GHz band, it can not be commercialized due to problems such as harmfulness to human body and straightness. The other is a radiative short-range transmission method, which uses an RFID / USN frequency band of UHF (Ultra High Frequency)

Band or 2.4 GHz ISM band. Currently, it is commercialized in certain fields such as distribution and logistics fields, and has a disadvantage that it can transmit power of up to several tens of mW due to radiation loss. On the other hand, the contact-type transmission method using inductive coupling is a method of transmitting a few W of electric power by touching at distances of several mm to several centimeters, and uses frequencies such as 125 kHz or 135 kHz. Currently, , Electric toothbrushes, and the like.

The non-radiated magnetic resonance method is based on a resonant coupling method. Here, resonance coupling refers to a phenomenon in which electromagnetic waves move from one medium to another through a near magnetic field when two media resonate at the same frequency in the case of magnetic resonance. Such a non-radiative magnetic resonance method has an advantage that large power transmission of several tens of watts can be performed at a distance of several meters or less.

A technique related to a wireless power charging method capable of charging the battery 400 by radio using such a magnetic resonance method has been proposed in the past. Such a wireless power charging method is applied to a portable wireless terminal such as a smart phone, a PDA, or a notebook, or to a capsule endoscope inserted into a human body to take an image.

Since the dual capsule endoscope is manufactured to be small enough to be inserted into the inside of the human body, charging by the magnetic resonance method is more effective than charging by a separate charger. The wireless power charging scheme using the magnetic resonance method improves the charging efficiency when the position of the receiver and the transmission period are aligned horizontally.

However, in the conventional magnetic resonance type wireless power transmitting / receiving device, a technique of horizontally aligning a magnetic field in a receiver using a magnet has been proposed. However, for example, there is a wireless power receiver installed in a capsule endoscope inserted into a human body, There is a problem in that the charging efficiency is inferior even if the direction of the magnetic field is matched by using the magnet in the receiver because the position is not matched in the transmission period.

The receiving antenna 340 receives the wireless power signal transmitted from the transmitting antenna 240 and outputs the wireless power signal to the matching unit 310. Here, as the power of the opposite polarity to that of the transmitting antenna 240 is outputted from the second power source unit 320, the receiving antenna 340 generates a magnetic attraction between the transmitting antennas 240. That is, the transmitting antenna 240 and the receiving antenna 340 form an electromagnet.

Or the battery detecting means 390 senses the charge level of the battery in real time and transmits it to the control unit 100. [

The first embodiment of the present invention includes the above-described configuration. Hereinafter, operations achieved through the above-described configuration will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing a first embodiment of a position alignable wireless charging method according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, the position-alignable wireless charging method according to the present invention includes a charging request signal reception step S110 for receiving a battery charging request signal, a transmission antenna 240 and a reception antenna 340 A step S130 of aligning the positions of the transmitter 200 and the receiver 300 after the switching step S120, and a step of aligning the positions of the transmitter 200 and the receiver 300, A receiving and signal processing step S150 of the receiving unit 300 which performs matching or boosting after receiving the wireless power signal and a receiving and signal processing step S150 of receiving and signal processing step S140 of the transmitting unit 200 transmitting the wireless power signal, And a charging step (S160) for charging the battery 400 after the step S150.

The charging request signal receiving step (S110) is a step in which the controller (100) receives the charging request signal from the receiving unit (300). Here, the battery sensing means 390 senses the charge level of the battery and transmits a charge request signal to the second communication means 380 if the charge level is below the set reference value. Therefore, the control means 120 receives the charge request signal transmitted from the second communication means 380 via the control communication means 130. [

At this time, in addition to the charging request signal receiving step, the present invention may receive the charging level sensing signal of the battery 400 from the battery sensing means 390 in real time.

That is, in the above-described embodiment, the reference value required for charging is set in the battery sensing unit 390 and the charge request signal is transmitted to the control unit 120, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

For example, the battery sensing means 390 senses the charge level of the battery 400 in real time and transmits it to the control means 120. Therefore, the control means 120 can receive the charge level sensing signal of the battery 400 received in real time from the battery sensing means 390, and determine whether charging of the battery is necessary.

The switching step S120 is a step of supplying power to form an electromagnet between the transmitting unit 200 and the receiving unit 300. [ The control means 120 controls the transmitting unit 200 and the receiving unit 300 to transmit a switching command when the battery charging request signal is received in the charging request signal receiving step S110.

Alternatively, even if the battery charging request signal of the battery sensing means 390 is not received, the control unit 100 may transmit a switching command to the transmission unit 200 and the reception unit 300 (if the switching instruction is input through the input unit 120) ), Respectively.

The first communication means 250 of the transmission unit 200 drives the first switching means 230 in accordance with the switching command of the control unit 100 so that the signal line between the transmission antenna 240 and the first power supply means 220 And the second communication unit 380 of the receiving unit 300 drives the second switching unit 330 to connect the signal line between the receiving antenna 340 and the second power source unit 320. [

Therefore, the first power supply unit 220 and the second power supply unit 320 output power of different polarities to the transmission antenna 240 and the reception antenna 340, respectively. Therefore, as the transmitting antenna 240 and the receiving antenna 340 are magnetized with mutually different polarities, magnetic attraction is generated between them.

The control means (120) controls the display means (140) to display the charging state as at least one of light emission, character or symbol.

The position alignment step S130 aligns the positions of the transmitter 200 and the receiver 300 with the electromagnets formed in the transmitter 200 and the receiver 300 after the switching step S120. Here, the transmitting unit 200 and the receiving unit 300 are attracted to each other by the electromagnets formed between the transmitting antenna 240 and the receiving antenna 340, and are aligned in the horizontal direction.

The transmitting step (S140) of the transmitting unit is a step of outputting the wireless power signal by the wireless power transmitting unit 210 under the control of the controller 100. [ Here, the control unit 100 drives the first switching unit 230 and the second switching unit 330 through the control communication unit 130. That is, the first switching means 230 connects the signal line between the wireless power transmitting means 210 and the transmitting antenna 240 according to the control signal received through the first communication means 250, (220).

Therefore, the wireless power transmitting means 210 outputs the wireless power signal in accordance with the control signal received by the first communication means 250. [ The transmission antenna 240 transmits the wireless power signal output from the wireless power transmission means 210 to the reception unit 300. [

The receiving and signal processing step (S150) of the receiving unit receives the wireless power signal from the receiving unit 300 and performs matching, rectifying, boosting, and regulating processes. The second switching means 330 connects the signal line between the matching means 310 and the receiving antenna 340 according to the control signal output from the second communication means 380, . Here, it is preferable that the switching of the second switching means 330 proceeds simultaneously with the transmission step (S140) of the transmission unit 200.

Therefore, the receiving antenna 340 outputs the wireless power signal received at the transmitting antenna 240 to the matching means 310. [ The matching means 310 and the rectifying means 350, the converter 360 and the regulator 370 sequentially perform the matching, rectifying, boosting and regulator 370 processes of the wireless power signals received by the receiving antenna 340 And outputs a set level of power.

The charging step S160 is a step of charging the battery 400 with a power level set at the level. Here, the battery sensing means 390 senses the charge level to be charged in the battery 400 and transmits a charge level sensing signal through the second communication means 380.

The battery detecting means 390 transmits a charging completion signal when the battery 400 is at the charging reference value.

Therefore, the control means 120 receives the charge level sensing signal of the battery sensing means 390, and controls the display means to display the completion of charging if the charge level sensing signal corresponds to the set full charge reference value.

Here, the battery sensing means 390 senses the charged amount of the battery 400 in real time even after the battery charging is completed. Therefore, the present invention can endlessly repeat the charging request signal receiving step and the charging step (S110 to S160) under the control of the control means 120 that receives the charging level sensing signal of the battery sensing means 390. [

The present invention is characterized in that, in a wireless power transmission / reception apparatus, a power source having different polarities is supplied between a transmission antenna 240 and a reception antenna 340 to form an electromagnet. Therefore, the wireless charging apparatus according to the present invention can improve the efficiency of the wireless charging because the position of the wireless charging apparatus according to the present invention can be aligned as a magnetic attraction between the transmitting unit 200 and the receiving unit 300 acts.

In addition, the present invention includes a second embodiment having a ferromagnetic body for aligning the position between the transmitter 200 and the receiver 300.
