The present invention relates to a non-contact power transmission system that performs non-contact power transmission between devices using electromagnetic induction.

Conventionally, for example, a non-contact power transmission system is known in which a secondary battery (battery) for power supply built in an electronic device such as a digital camera or a personal computer is charged in a non-contact manner. In this system, a primary coil and a secondary coil are provided in an electronic device and a dedicated charger corresponding to the electronic device, respectively. For example, when an electronic device is placed on a charger, alternating power is transmitted from the charger to the electronic device through electromagnetic induction between both coils, and the alternating power is converted into direct current power by the electronic device, whereby the secondary battery. Is charged.

On the other hand, in such a non-contact power transmission system, when a metal foreign object is interposed between the primary coil and the secondary coil, when an alternating magnetic flux generated from the primary coil is applied to the metal foreign object, An eddy current is induced in the foreign material to generate Joule heat. For this reason, there exists concern that the housing of a charger or an electronic device may deform | transform by the heat | fever of a metal foreign material.

Therefore, for example, in

When any of the temperatures at the plurality of measurement points detected through the plurality of temperature sensors indicates a predetermined temperature or more, a metal foreign object is interposed between the primary coil and the secondary coil. Power transmission by the charger is stopped. Thereby, since heat_generation | fever of a metal foreign material can be suppressed, the thermal deformation of a charger and an electronic device can be avoided exactly.

<First Embodiment>
Hereinafter, a first embodiment of a contactless power transmission system according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. First, a schematic configuration of a contactless power transmission system according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

As shown in FIG. 1, this non-contact power transmission system includes a portable device 1 such as a digital camera or a notebook personal computer equipped with a secondary battery 10 that functions as a power source (load), and a secondary battery of the portable device 1. And a charger 2 that supplies electric power to 10 in a non-contact manner.

The charger 2 includes a primary coil module 20 that transmits power to the mobile device 1. Further, the charger 2 protects various electronic components from the external environment by covering the outside of the various electronic components including the primary coil module 20 with the housing 21. The upper surface 21a of the housing 21 is a portion where the portable device 1 is placed.

The primary coil module 20 includes a primary coil L1 that generates a magnetic flux when power is supplied and a magnetic body M1 that is formed of a ferrite-based member that suppresses leakage of magnetic flux from the primary coil L1. Yes. Primary coil L1 includes a planar coil in which a conducting wire is wound in the planar direction. In the present embodiment, the number of turns of the primary coil L1 is set to 20 turns. Further, the outer diameter of the primary coil L1 is set to 40 [mm]. The total thickness of the primary coil L1 and the magnetic body M1 is about 1 [mm]. And the temperature detection sheet 30 which detects the temperature of the periphery is affixed on the end surface on the opposite side to the end surface with which the magnetic body M1 of the primary coil L1 contact | abuts with the adhesive agent.

As shown in FIG. 2, the temperature detection sheet 30 is a sheet-like member formed of a polymer film such as a PET (polyethylene terephthalate) resin, for example, and includes a plurality of linear shapes inside the temperature detection sheet 30. The thermistors SH1 to SH5 and SV1 to SV5 are formed in a lattice shape. The plurality of linear thermistors SH1 to SH5 and SV1 to SV5 are temperature detection elements whose resistance value increases as the temperature of the linear thermistors SH1 to SH5 and SV1 to SV5 increases. In addition, a plurality of linear thermistors SH1 to SH5 extending in the x-axis direction and a plurality of linear thermistors SV1 to SV5 extending in the y-axis direction in the figure are mutually connected by an insulating layer provided therebetween. Insulated. Lands LH11 to LH15, LH21 to LH25, LV11 to LV15, and LV21 to L25 are formed at both ends of each of the linear thermistors SH1 to SH5, SV1 to SV5. Each of the linear thermistors SH1 to SH5, SV1 to SV5 is electrically connected to a processing circuit (not shown) built in the temperature detection sheet 30 via the two lands LH11 to LH15, LH21 to LH25, LV11 to LV15, and LV21 to L25. It is connected to the. A thermistor (not shown) having resistance temperature characteristics according to the linear thermistors SH1 to SH5 and SV1 to SV5 functioning as a part for detecting the ambient temperature (room temperature) around the outer edge of the temperature detection sheet 30. Is provided. In this embodiment, as described above, the temperature detection sheet 30 formed in a sheet shape that functions as a temperature detection unit including the linear thermistors SH1 to SH5, SV1 to SV5, processing circuits thereof, and the like is used. Thereby, since the temperature detection sheet 30 can be easily affixed on the upper surface of the primary coil L1, attachment of the temperature detection sheet 30 is easy.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 1, the portable device 1 includes a secondary coil module 11 that receives power transmitted from the charger 2. Moreover, the portable device 1 protects them from the external environment by covering the outer periphery of various electronic components including the secondary coil module 11 and the secondary battery 10 with the housing 12.

The secondary coil module 11 is formed of a secondary coil L2 that generates current by interlinking with the magnetic flux generated from the primary coil L1, and a ferrite-based member that suppresses leakage of magnetic flux from the secondary coil L2. And the magnetic body M2. Similar to the primary coil L1, the secondary coil L2 includes a planar coil. In the present embodiment, the number of turns of the secondary coil L2 is set to 15 turns. The outer diameter of the secondary coil L2 is set to 35 [mm]. The total thickness of the secondary coil L2 and the magnetic body M2 is set to about 0.5 [mm].

Next, the circuit configuration of the non-contact power transmission system of this embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

As shown in FIG. 3, the charger 2 includes a series circuit including a primary side LC circuit 22 and a switching element FET1 connected in series, a DC power supply E1 having a power supply voltage of 5 [V], a capacitor C2, And a primary side control unit 23 including a microcomputer. In the present embodiment, the switching element FET1 is an N-channel MOS transistor. The primary side LC circuit 22 includes a primary coil L1 and a resonance capacitor C1 connected in parallel to each other. This series circuit is connected in parallel to, for example, a DC power supply E1 having a power supply voltage of 5 [V] and a capacitor C2. The switching element FET1 is turned on / off when a control voltage (gate voltage) is applied from the primary side control unit 23. As a result, alternating power is induced in the primary coil L1 by the DC power constantly supplied from the power source E1. That is, in this embodiment, the primary side control part 23 becomes a power transmission control unit which controls supply of the alternating power to the primary coil L1. Note that the oscillation frequency of the alternating power oscillated from the primary coil L1 through on / off of the switching element FET1 is about 100 kHz.

On the other hand, the portable device 1 includes a half-wave rectifier circuit including a secondary coil L2 and a diode D1 connected in series, and a secondary battery 10. That is, the alternating power received by the secondary coil L2 is converted into DC power by being half-wave rectified through the diode D1, and the converted DC power is supplied (charged) to the secondary battery 10 functioning as a load. Is done.

On the other hand, the temperature detection sheet 30 includes linear thermistors SH1 to SH5, SV1 to SV5, thermistors SA, resistors R1 to R11, and a sensor control unit 31. The sensor control unit 31 includes a microcomputer. A plurality of resistors R1 to R11 are connected in series to the plurality of linear thermistors SH1 to SH5, SV1 to SV5 and the thermistor SA, respectively. For example, a DC power supply E2 having a power supply voltage of 3.3 [V] is connected to each of the resistors R1 to R11. Note that the DC power supply E2 is supplied from the charger 2. The power supply voltage of the DC power supply E2 is divided by the resistances of the linear thermistors SH1 to SH5, SV1 to SV5 and the resistances R1 to R10, and the respective potentials are supplied to the sensor control unit 31 via the terminals A1 to A10. Supplied. Further, the power supply voltage of the DC power supply E2 is divided by the thermistor SA and the resistor R11, and the potential is supplied to the sensor control unit 31 via the terminal A11. The sensor control unit 31 is communicably connected to the primary control unit 23 via an appropriate wiring 40 that electrically connects the temperature detection sheet 30 and the charger 2. That is, the sensor control unit 31 and the primary side control unit 23 can exchange various signals via the wiring 40.

The sensor control unit 31 monitors the temperatures TH1 to TH5 and TV1 to TV5 of the linear thermistors SH1 to SH5 and SV1 to SV5 based on the potentials of the terminals A1 to A10, and also detects the temperature detection sheet based on the potential of the terminal A11. 30 ambient temperature TB is monitored. The sensor control unit 31 has a nonvolatile memory 31a. As shown in FIG. 4, the memory 31a stores the relationship between the potentials of the terminals A1 to A10 and the temperatures of the linear thermistors SH1 to SH5, SV1 to SV5. The sensor control unit 31 calculates the temperatures of the linear thermistors SH1 to SH5 and SV1 to SV5 from the potentials of the terminals A1 to A10 with reference to the map shown in FIG. The non-volatile memory 31a of the sensor control unit 31 also stores a map (not shown) indicating the relationship between the potential of the terminal A11 and the environmental temperature TB. The sensor control unit 31 performs map calculation of the environmental temperature TB from the potential of the terminal A11 using this map. Then, the sensor control unit 31 compares the temperature of each of the linear thermistors SH1 to SH5 and SV1 to SV5 with the environmental temperature TB to determine whether or not abnormal heating has occurred in the temperature detection sheet 30. When detecting abnormal heating of the temperature detection sheet 30, the sensor control unit 31 transmits an abnormality detection signal indicating that to the primary control unit 23 via the wiring 40. Thus, in this embodiment, the sensor control unit 31 is an abnormality detection unit that detects abnormal heating of the temperature detection sheet 30. On the other hand, when the abnormality detection signal is transmitted from the sensor control unit 31, the primary side control unit 23 stops the on / off switching of the switching element FET1, thereby supplying the alternating power to the primary coil L1. Stop.

Next, with reference to FIG. 5, a process for detecting abnormal heating of the temperature detection sheet 30 executed through the sensor control unit 31 will be described in detail. Note that the process shown in FIG. 5 is repeatedly executed with a predetermined calculation cycle during a period in which the alternating power is supplied to the primary coil L1.

As shown in FIG. 5, in this process, first, the temperature of all linear thermistors SH1 to SH5, SV1 to SV5 is calculated from the potentials of the terminals A1 to A10 by map calculation using the map illustrated in FIG. TH1 to TH5 and TV1 to TV5 are respectively detected (step S1). Similarly, the ambient temperature TB is detected from the potential of the terminal A11 by map calculation (step S2). Then, temperature difference values ΔTH1 to ΔTH5, ΔTV1 to ΔTV5 obtained by subtracting the environmental temperature TB from the temperatures TH1 to TH5 and TV1 to TV5 of the respective linear thermistors SH1 to SH5, SV1 to SV5 are calculated (step S3). Further, it is determined whether any of the calculated temperature difference values ΔTH1 to ΔTH5, ΔTV1 to ΔTV5 is equal to or greater than a predetermined value Ta (step S4). The predetermined value Ta is a value for detecting the abnormal heat generation of the metal foreign matter described above, and is obtained through a prior experiment or the like. Here, when all of the temperature difference values ΔTH1 to ΔTH5 and ΔTV1 to ΔTV5 are smaller than the predetermined value Ta (step S4: NO), the sensor control unit 31 once ends this series of processing.

On the other hand, if any one of the temperature difference values ΔTH1 to ΔTH5 and ΔTV1 to ΔTV5 is equal to or greater than the predetermined value Ta (step S4: YES), it is determined that abnormal heating has occurred in the temperature detection sheet 30, and abnormal A detection signal is transmitted to the primary side control part 23 (step S5). That is, in this case, the supply of alternating power to the primary coil L1 is stopped by the primary side control unit 23.

Next, an operation example (action) of the non-contact power transmission system according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. In the present embodiment, the ambient temperature TB around the charger 2 is 25 [° C.]. The predetermined value Ta is set to 10 [° C.].

For example, when charging of the portable device 1 from the charger 2 shown in FIG. 1 is started, a metal foreign object is placed on the upper surface 21a of the housing 21 of the charger 2 above the primary coil L1. If it is, the metal foreign object generates heat and the temperature detection sheet 30 is heated. Here, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, since the linear thermistors are arranged in a lattice pattern on the temperature detection sheet 30, a plurality of temperature sensors are arranged at a plurality of measurement points, respectively. In comparison, the number of temperature detection elements can be reduced while ensuring a wide temperature detection range. For this reason, the structure of the temperature detection sheet 30 can be simplified. If the part A indicated by the two-dot chain line in the figure of the temperature detection sheet 30 is strongly heated by the heat generation of the metal foreign matter, the temperature of the linear thermistor SV4 located in the part A is, for example, 25 [° C.] corresponding to the environmental temperature TB. To 40 [° C].

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3, the sensor control unit 31 monitors the temperature of the linear thermistor SV4 and the environmental temperature TB based on the potentials of the terminals A7 and A11. When the temperature of the linear thermistor SV4 rises to 40 [° C.], the sensor control unit 31 has a temperature difference value obtained by subtracting the environmental temperature TB (25 [° C.]) from the temperature higher than the predetermined value Ta. It detects that it is large and transmits an abnormality detection signal to the primary side control unit 23. Thereby, since supply of the alternating power to the primary coil L1 is stopped, abnormal heat generation of the metal foreign object is suppressed.

According to such a configuration, since it is only necessary to transmit an abnormality detection signal from the temperature detection sheet 30 to the primary side control unit 23, the temperature detection sheet 30 and the charger 2 are wired 40 as shown in FIG. Just connect via. Thereby, since the communication structure between the temperature detection sheet 30 and the charger 2 can be extremely simplified, it is possible to simplify the configuration of the non-contact power transmission system while making it possible to detect the heat generation of the metal foreign object. it can.

As described above, according to the contactless power transmission system according to the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.

(1) The temperature detection sheet 30 is provided with a plurality of linear thermistors SH1 to SH5 and SV1 to SV5. In addition, the temperature detection sheet 30 is provided with a sensor control unit 31 that detects abnormal heating of the temperature detection sheet 30 based on temperatures detected through the plurality of linear thermistors SH1 to SH5 and SV1 to SV5. The sensor control unit 31 detects abnormal heating of the temperature detection sheet 30 and stops the supply of alternating power to the primary coil L1. Thereby, while ensuring the wide temperature detection range, while the number of temperature detection elements can be reduced, the communication structure between the temperature detection sheet | seat 30 and the charger 2 can also be simplified very much. Therefore, it is possible to simplify the configuration of the non-contact power transmission system while making it possible to detect the heat generation of the metal foreign object.

(2) The temperature detection sheet 30 functions as a temperature detection unit including the linear thermistors SH1 to SH5, SV1 to SV5, the sensor control unit 31, and the like, and is formed in a sheet shape. Thereby, since the temperature detection sheet 30 can be easily affixed on the upper surface of the primary coil L1, attachment of the temperature detection sheet 30 becomes easy.

(3) On the temperature detection sheet 30, linear thermistors SH1 to SH5 and SV1 to SV5 are arranged in a grid pattern. Thereby, the temperature of the temperature detection sheet 30 can be detected more accurately.

(4) The temperature detection sheet 30 was attached to the primary coil L1. Thereby, since electrical connection with the temperature detection sheet | seat 30 and the charger 2 can be performed easily, attachment of the temperature detection sheet | seat 30 becomes easy.

<Second Embodiment>
Next, a second embodiment of the non-contact power transmission system according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that the temperature detection sheet 30 is provided in the portable device 1. Therefore, in this embodiment, differences from the first embodiment will be mainly described, and the same elements as those in the first embodiment will be denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description will be omitted. First, a schematic configuration of the non-contact power transmission system according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

As shown in FIG. 6, in this embodiment, the temperature detection sheet 30 is affixed to the end surface of the secondary coil L2 opposite to the end surface in contact with the magnetic body M2 with an adhesive or the like.

Next, the circuit configuration of the non-contact power transmission system of the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIG. Since the circuit configuration of the temperature detection sheet 30 is the same as the configuration illustrated in FIG. 3, the illustration is omitted here for convenience.

As shown in FIG. 7, in the charger 2, the primary-side control unit 23 applies a gate voltage to the switching element FET1 via the gate resistor R20, thereby performing on / off control of the switching element FET1. Further, the primary side control unit 23 includes a terminal B1 connected to a connection point N1 between the primary side LC circuit 22 and the switching element FET1 via a diode D2. That is, the power at the connection point N1 is half-wave rectified and input to the terminal B1. The primary side control unit 23 can acquire the maximum voltage or the like from the voltage waveform of the alternating power generated by the oscillation of the primary coil L1 through the terminal B1.

On the other hand, the portable device 1 includes a switching element FET2 that switches between supply and non-supply of the DC power rectified via the diode D1 to the secondary battery 10. The switching element FET2 is composed of a P-channel MOS transistor, and is turned on / off when a gate voltage is applied from the secondary side control unit 13 including a microcomputer via a gate resistor R21. A resistor R22 is provided between the drain and source of the switching element FET2. In addition, the portable device 1 includes a load adjustment circuit 14 connected in parallel to a series circuit constituted by the secondary coil L2 and the diode D1. In the load adjustment circuit 14, a resistor R23 and a switching element FET3 composed of an N-channel MOS transistor are connected in series. The resistance value of the resistor R23 is set to about 47 [mΩ]. The switching element FET3 is turned on / off when a gate voltage is applied from the secondary side control unit 13 via the gate resistor R24. In the present embodiment, the switching element FET3 is turned on / off while the switching element FET2 is turned off by the secondary side control unit 13, thereby causing the resistor R23 to be a load on the secondary coil L2. , It is switched to a state that does not become a load. As a result, the amplitude of the alternating power received by the secondary coil L2 is changed (modulated). That is, the power reception characteristic of the secondary coil L2 with respect to the power supplied by the primary coil is changed.

By the way, the change in the power reception characteristics of the secondary coil L2 not only changes the amplitude of the power waveform of the alternating power received by the secondary coil L2, but also the primary coil L1 magnetically coupled to the secondary coil L2. The amplitude of the power waveform of the alternating power is also changed. That is, the amplitude of the power waveform (voltage waveform) of the alternating power induced in the primary coil L1 also changes in accordance with the change in the amplitude of the power waveform (voltage waveform) of the alternating power in the secondary coil L2. Thereby, a change occurs in the amplitude (maximum voltage value) of the voltage waveform of the alternating power generated at the connection point N1 of the charger 2.

On the other hand, a temperature detection sheet 30 is connected to the secondary side control unit 13 via an appropriate wiring 41. That is, the secondary side control unit 13 receives the abnormality detection signal transmitted from the temperature detection sheet 30 via the wiring 41. And the secondary side control part 13 supplies electric power to the secondary battery 10 by maintaining the switching element FET2 in the ON state during the period when the alternating power is transmitted from the charger 2. When an abnormality detection signal is received during this period, the switching element FET3 is turned on / off while the switching element FET2 is turned off and the state is maintained. Thus, the amplitude of the alternating power transmitted by the primary coil L1 is changed (modulated) in accordance with the abnormality detection signal by changing the amplitude of the alternating power received by the secondary coil L2. Thus, in the portable device 1, the secondary side control unit 13, the switching element FET3, and the resistor R23 constitute a wireless communication unit for performing wireless communication with the charger 2.

Next, the modulation mode of the amplitude of the alternating power received by the secondary coil L2 by the secondary side control unit 13 will be described with reference to FIG.

For example, the secondary control unit 13 performs on / off switching of the switching element FET3 based on the abnormality detection signal in the manner shown in FIG. At this time, in the period T1 in which the switching element FET3 is turned off, the amplitude of the alternating power received by the secondary coil L2 changes with the amplitude A1a, as shown in FIG. 8B. Moreover, as shown in FIG.8 (c), the amplitude of the alternating power which the primary coil L1 transmits changes with amplitude A2a. As a result, as shown in FIG. 8D, the voltage value of the DC power induced in the primary coil L1 and half-wave rectified by the diode D2 becomes the voltage Va. And in the primary side control part 23 by which this direct-current power is taken in via terminal B1, the information transmitted from the charger 2 is based on the judgment whether the voltage Va of terminal B1 exceeded the predetermined threshold value V0. It is determined whether the logic level is “H” or logic level “L”. That is, in the period T1, it is determined that the information transmitted from the secondary side control unit 13 to the primary side control unit 23 is the logic level “H”. Note that the threshold value V0 is set in advance through experiments or the like as a value that can determine a change in the amplitude of the alternating power induced in the primary coil L1.

On the other hand, in the period T2 in which the switching element FET3 is turned on, as shown in FIG. 8B, the amplitude of the alternating power received by the secondary coil L2 decreases from the amplitude A1a to the amplitude A1b. Moreover, as shown in FIG.8 (c), the amplitude of the alternating power which the primary coil L1 transmits falls to amplitude A2b lower than amplitude A2a. As a result, as shown in FIG. 8D, the voltage value of the DC power induced in the primary coil L1 and half-wave rectified by the diode D2 also changes from the voltage Va to the voltage Vb. Since the voltage Vb is lower than the threshold value V0, the primary control unit 23 determines that the information transmitted from the secondary control unit 13 in the period T2 is the logic level “L”.

And the primary side control part 23 demodulates the abnormality detection signal transmitted from the secondary side control part 13 based on such a method. When the abnormality detection signal is received, the supply of alternating power to the primary coil L1 is stopped by stopping the on / off switching of the switching element FET1.

According to such a configuration, when abnormal heating occurs in the temperature detection sheet 30, the fact can be transmitted from the portable device 1 to the charger 2 to stop the power transmission of the charger 2. Thereby, even when the temperature detection sheet 30 is provided in the mobile device 1, it is possible to suppress abnormal heat generation of the metal foreign matter interposed between the charger 2 and the mobile device 1. If the temperature detection sheet 30 can be provided in the portable device 1 in this way, even if it is difficult to provide the temperature detection sheet 30 in the charger 2 due to structural restrictions, for example, contactless power The temperature detection sheet 30 can be mounted on the transmission system. For this reason, convenience comes to be improved.

(5) The temperature detection sheet 30 is provided in the portable device 1. When abnormal heating of the temperature detection sheet 30 is detected, the fact is transmitted from the temperature detection sheet 30 to the charger 2 via the portable device 1.

First, the configuration of the temperature detection sheet 30 will be described with reference to FIG.

As shown in FIG. 9, the temperature detection sheet 30 of the present embodiment includes a power receiving coil L3 that is linked to an alternating magnetic flux generated from the primary coil L1. The power receiving coil L3 is disposed in a region sandwiched between the linear thermistor SV1 and the linear thermistor SV3. The power receiving coil L3 is provided in a layer different from the layer on which the plurality of linear thermistors SH1 to SH5 and SV1 to SV5 are patterned, and is insulated from the linear thermistors SH1 to SH5, SV1 to SV5. The temperature detection sheet 30 of this embodiment uses the alternating power induced in the power receiving coil L3 as the power supply voltage when the alternating magnetic flux generated from the primary coil L1 is linked to the power receiving coil L3.

Next, the circuit configuration of the temperature detection sheet 30 will be described with reference to FIG.

As shown in FIG. 10, in the temperature detection sheet 30, the alternating power induced in the power receiving coil L3 is rectified through a rectifier circuit 32 including a diode D3 and a capacitor C3 to be converted into DC power. Further, the DC power converted through the rectifier circuit 32 is stabilized to, for example, the power supply voltage 3.3 [V] through the regulator 33 and supplied to the sensor control unit 31 and the like.

Thus, in this embodiment, since the alternating magnetic flux generated from the primary coil L1 links the power receiving coil L3, the alternating power induced in the power receiving coil L3 is used as the power source of the temperature detection sheet 30. There is no need to provide power supply wiring on the temperature detection sheet 30. For this reason, the wiring structure of the temperature detection sheet 30 can be simplified.

As described above, the contactless power transmission system according to the present embodiment also provides the same effects as the effects (1) to (4) of the previous first embodiment or an effect equivalent thereto. In addition, the following effects can be obtained.

(6) The temperature detection sheet 30 is provided with the power receiving coil L3 interlinked with the alternating magnetic flux generated from the primary coil L1. Then, the alternating power induced in the power receiving coil L <b> 3 by the linkage of the alternating magnetic flux is used as the power source for the temperature detection sheet 30. Thereby, since it is not necessary to provide power supply wiring in the temperature detection sheet 30, the wiring structure of the temperature detection sheet 30 can be simplified.

<Fourth Embodiment>
Next, a fourth embodiment of the non-contact power transmission system according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 11 and FIG. In addition, although this embodiment differs in the circuit structure of the temperature detection sheet | seat 30 and the charger 2 from previous 3rd Embodiment, about another structure, it is the same as that of 3rd Embodiment. Therefore, in the present embodiment, differences from the third embodiment will be mainly described, and the same elements as those in the third embodiment will be denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description will be omitted.

As shown in FIG. 11, the temperature detection sheet 30 has a sufficiently high frequency (for example, 1 [MHz]) compared to the oscillation frequency (100 [kHz]) of the alternating power induced in the primary coil L1. A Colpitts oscillation circuit 34 for oscillating radio waves is provided. Further, the temperature detection sheet 30 includes a switching element SW <b> 1 that interrupts the power feeding path of the Colpitts oscillation circuit 34. The switching / switching of the switching element SW <b> 1 is controlled by the sensor control unit 31, so that driving / stopping of the Colpitts oscillation circuit 34 is switched. Specifically, the sensor control unit 31 normally stops the oscillation of the radio wave from the Colpitts oscillation circuit 34 by maintaining the switching element SW1 in the off state. Further, the sensor control unit 31 oscillates a radio wave from the Colpitts oscillation circuit 34 by performing a process of turning on the switching element SW1 instead of the process of transmitting the abnormality detection signal. That is, in this temperature detection sheet 30, when abnormal heating of the linear thermistors SH1 to SH5 and SV1 to SV5 is detected, radio waves are oscillated.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 12, the charger 2 includes a resonance circuit 25 including a coil L4 and a resonance capacitor C4 that functions as a part that receives a radio wave oscillated from the Colpitts oscillation circuit 34. The voltage generated in the resonance circuit 25 when receiving the radio wave is rectified and smoothed by the rectifier circuit 26 including the diode D4 and the capacitor C5, and is taken into the primary side control unit 23 via the terminal B2. . That is, when the radio wave oscillated from the Colpitts oscillation circuit 34 is received via the resonance circuit 25, the potential of the terminal B2 indicates a predetermined voltage value. And the primary side control part 23 determines whether the radio wave transmitted from the temperature detection sheet | seat 30 was received based on the determination whether the electric potential of terminal B2 exceeded the predetermined threshold value. The predetermined threshold value is a value for determining whether or not the radio wave oscillated from the Colpitts oscillation circuit 34 is received, and is set through a prior experiment or the like. And when it determines with having received the radio wave transmitted from the temperature detection sheet | seat 30, supply of the alternating power to the primary coil L1 is stopped by stopping switching of ON / OFF of switching element FET1. .

As described above, in this embodiment, since the abnormality notification from the temperature detection sheet 30 to the charger 2 is performed wirelessly, it is necessary to provide communication wiring between the temperature detection sheet 30 and the charger 2. There is no. For this reason, the structure of a non-contact electric power transmission system can be simplified.

(7) The sensor control unit 31 provided in the temperature detection sheet 30 and the primary side control unit 23 provided in the charger 2 are connected so as to be capable of wireless communication. Thereby, since it is not necessary to provide the wiring for communication between the temperature detection sheet | seat 30 and the charger 2, the structure of a non-contact electric power transmission system can be simplified.

<Fifth Embodiment>
Next, a fifth embodiment of the non-contact power transmission system according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In the present embodiment, differences from the third embodiment will be mainly described, and the same elements as those in the third embodiment will be denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description will be omitted. First, the schematic configuration of the non-contact power transmission system will be described with reference to FIG.

Then, the switching of the switching element SW2 on / off is controlled by the sensor control unit 31, whereby the short circuit to the ground line of the magnetic coupling coil L5 and the cancellation of the short circuit are performed. Specifically, the sensor control unit 31 normally releases the short circuit of the magnetic coupling coil L5 by keeping the switching element SW2 off. The sensor control unit 31 short-circuits the magnetic coupling coil L5 to the ground line by performing a process of turning on the switching element SW2 instead of the process of transmitting the abnormality detection signal. As a result, the magnetic coupling coil L5 becomes an obstacle and the magnetic coupling between the primary coil L1 and the secondary coil L2 is weakened, so the alternating power transmitted from the primary coil L1 to the secondary coil L2 is reduced. To do. At this time, the amplitude of the alternating power induced in the primary coil L1 and the secondary coil L2 changes as shown in FIG. 16, for example. That is, if switching of the switching element SW2 is performed as shown in FIG. 16C, the amplitude of the alternating power induced in the secondary coil L2 when the switching element SW2 is turned on is shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, the amplitude decreases from the amplitude A3a to the amplitude A3b.

When it is detected that the amplitude of the alternating power induced in the primary coil L1 has changed from the amplitude A4a to the amplitude A4b as illustrated in FIG. 16B, the primary-side control unit 23 It is determined that abnormal heating is detected in the temperature detection sheet 30. In this case, the primary side control unit 23 stops the supply of alternating power to the primary coil L1 by stopping the on / off switching of the switching element FET1.

According to such a configuration, an abnormality can be notified from the temperature detection sheet 30 to the charger 2 without providing communication wiring between the temperature detection sheet 30 and the charger 2.

Changed. Furthermore, in the primary side control part 23, it decided to detect the abnormal heating of the temperature detection sheet | seat 30 based on the change of the amplitude of the alternating power induced by the primary coil L1. Thereby, since it is not necessary to provide the wiring for communication between the temperature detection sheet | seat 30 and the charger 2, the structure of a non-contact electric power transmission system can be simplified.

(9) The temperature detection sheet 30 is pasted on the upper surface 21 a of the housing 21 of the charger 2. Thereby, it becomes easy to detect the heat generation of the metal foreign object, and thus abnormal heat generation of the metal foreign object can be more accurately suppressed.
