- FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of a frequency characteristic of a voltage between the power receiving device side active electrode 42 and the power receiving device side passive electrode 41 in a state where the secondary battery is almost fully charged and the load impedance is high.
- FIG. 3A is a diagram comparing characteristics when the power transmission device 100 and the power reception device 200 are provided with the capacitor Cx as the overvoltage suppressing unit 70 and when the capacitor Cx is not provided.
- a solid line indicates a case where the capacitor Cx is provided, and a broken line indicates a case where the capacitor Cx is not provided.
- the resonance frequencies on the low frequency side and the high frequency side are f1o and f2o when the capacitor Cx is not provided, but are f1c and f2c lower than f1o and f2o when the capacitor Cx is provided. That is, the capacitor Cx moves to the low frequency side.
- the operating frequency f3 is located in an area between the two resonance frequencies f1c and f2c where the change in the voltage between the receiving electrodes is small. Therefore, even if the coupling capacitance Cm slightly changes due to the displacement of the mounting position of the power receiving device 200 on the power transmitting device 100 and the frequency characteristics of the voltage between the power receiving electrodes slightly change, the variation in the voltage between the power receiving electrodes is small and stable.

Therefore, even if each resonance frequency on the high frequency side and the low frequency side changes due to a change (decrease) in the coupling capacitance Cm due to the separation of the power receiving device 200 from the power transmission device 100, the operating frequency f3, the high frequency side, and the low frequency side

- a fuse is provided between the power receiving coil of the power receiving device and the downstream rectifier circuit as a configuration for protecting the load circuit of the power receiving device from overvoltage. It is disclosed that the fuse is blown when the output voltage of the rectifier circuit becomes excessive. However, since the fuse once blown is not restored, in order to be able to suppress the overvoltage again, troubles such as replacement of the fuse are required.
- the overvoltage suppressing means 70 is constituted by an impedance element, it is not easily damaged during the protective operation. Therefore, even after the protection operation, no special repair is required, and the protection operation can be repeatedly performed.
- the impedance element is an element that shifts the resonance frequency on the low frequency side by a predetermined shift amount.
- the predetermined shift amount is determined by the coupling capacitance Cm by the power transmission electrodes 31 and 32 and the power reception electrode 41. , 42 in the process of changing from the value when the predetermined positional relationship with the normal power transmission to approximately zero, the resonance frequency on the low frequency side does not overlap with the predetermined power transmission frequency (operation frequency f3). Is set to a value.
- the overvoltage suppressing means 70 does not cause the resonance frequencies generated by the power receiving device side resonance circuit 50 and the operating frequency f3 to overlap. As a result, a high power receiving electrode voltage at the resonance frequency is not applied to the load circuit 60. Therefore, the power receiving apparatus 200 and the load circuit 60 included in the power receiving apparatus 200 can be prevented from being damaged.
- the overvoltage suppressing means 70 is constituted by the capacitor Cx. According to this configuration, the overvoltage suppressing means 70 can be easily and compactly configured. In addition, in a conventional power receiving device that does not include the capacitor Cx, it is possible to suppress overvoltage only by adding the capacitor Cx, that is, without significantly changing the configuration of the conventional power receiving device.
