Description

電源アダプタ、電池を含む直流電源装置および交流電源装置、並びに半導体利用電源活性化装置Power adapter, DC power supply including battery and AC power supply, and semiconductor-based power supply activation device
 本発明はたとえば電源アダプタ、電池を含む直流電源装置および交流電源装置、並びに半導体利用活性化装置に係り、特に二次電池に経時的に累積的影響を与える、電源アダプタ、直流電源装置および交流電源装置、並びに半導体利用活性化装置に関する。
 
The present invention relates to, for example, a power adapter, a DC power supply including a battery and an AC power supply, and a semiconductor utilization activation device, and particularly has a cumulative effect on a secondary battery over time, such as a power supply adapter, a DC power supply, and an AC power supply. The present invention relates to an apparatus and a semiconductor utilization activation apparatus.
 一般的に、充放電可能な二次電池において、充放電サイクルの増加や経年劣化により、電池の正負極の活物質や電解液等が変化して、電池の内部抵抗が増加すると共に電池容量が減少してしまう。充放電可能な電池の内部抵抗とは、正負極セパレータ部分のイオン電導抵抗や、正極、負極の電荷移動抵抗、正負極活物質粒子内部でのイオンの拡散遅れによる抵抗など、複数の抵抗要因が組み合わさったものである。電池の内部抵抗が増加すると電池の劣化を招来してしまう。また、電池の電池容量とは、充放電可能な残存容量のことであり、電池容量の低下は充放電性能の低下に他ならない。 Generally, in a rechargeable secondary battery, the active material and electrolyte of the positive and negative electrodes of the battery change due to an increase in the charge / discharge cycle and deterioration over time, which increases the internal resistance of the battery and increases the battery capacity. It will decrease. The internal resistance of a battery that can be charged and discharged includes multiple resistance factors such as the ion conduction resistance of the positive and negative electrode separators, the charge transfer resistance of the positive and negative electrodes, and the resistance due to the delay in the diffusion of ions inside the positive and negative electrode active material particles. It is a combination. If the internal resistance of the battery increases, the battery will deteriorate. The battery capacity of a battery is the remaining capacity that can be charged and discharged, and a decrease in battery capacity is nothing but a decrease in charge / discharge performance.
 従来から、電池の内部抵抗や電池容量は、電池の状態を把握するためのパラメータとして重視されており、これらを監視して電池状態をチエックしている。特に内部抵抗の値から電池セルの個々のばらつきを計測し、製造時の不良品検査や電池交換時期等に利用できるため、重要なパラメータとして高精度に内部抵抗を把握することが求められている。同様に、一般の交流電源や直流電源においても電源の内部抵抗を計測することや、内部抵抗を低減することが求められている。 Conventionally, the internal resistance and battery capacity of a battery have been emphasized as parameters for grasping the state of the battery, and these are monitored to check the state of the battery. In particular, it is required to grasp the internal resistance with high accuracy as an important parameter because it can be used for defective product inspection at the time of manufacturing, battery replacement time, etc. by measuring the individual variation of the battery cell from the value of the internal resistance. .. Similarly, in general AC power supplies and DC power supplies, it is required to measure the internal resistance of the power supply and reduce the internal resistance.
 電源の内部抵抗を低減する方法としては、電源内部の構造や組成を改良することにより内部抵抗を低減している。特許文献1には、電池電源の内部抵抗を低減するため、所定の化合物を所定量以上に含む非電解液を用いた非水系二次電池を作製して内部抵抗を低減させている技術思想が開示されている。同文献に開示される技術思想においては、電源内部の構造や組成を改良することにより内部抵抗を低減しているが、電源自体を改良せねばならず簡単ではない。 As a method of reducing the internal resistance of the power supply, the internal resistance is reduced by improving the internal structure and composition of the power supply. Patent Document 1 describes a technical idea of producing a non-aqueous secondary battery using a non-electrolyte solution containing a predetermined compound in a predetermined amount or more in order to reduce the internal resistance of the battery power source to reduce the internal resistance. It is disclosed. In the technical idea disclosed in the same document, the internal resistance is reduced by improving the structure and composition inside the power supply, but the power supply itself must be improved, which is not easy.
 上記のごとく、特許文献1によるような電池自体の改良により二次電池の充放電繰り返しによる経年劣化を低減する方策は考案されているが、既存の二次電池の充放電を繰り返すことによる劣化を抑える積極的な対策が成されていないのが現状である。 As described above, measures have been devised to reduce aging deterioration due to repeated charging and discharging of the secondary battery by improving the battery itself as described in Patent Document 1, but deterioration due to repeated charging and discharging of the existing secondary battery has been devised. The current situation is that no positive measures have been taken to suppress it.

Use as a power supply.
 本発明者は、上記の知見をさらに深く考察し技術的思想を発展させた。結果的に、LEDを使って、光っていない状態に着目した。すなわち、これまでは誰も着目していなかった、LED(もしくはもっと広く、半導体一般)もしくは複数個の半導体が直列に接続されて形成される半導体アレイの電流がいわゆる「流れていない」状態が、これに繋がっている充放電可能電池に対して何らかの影響を及ぼしている、ということを発見したところに本願の主眼が存在する。 The present inventor further considered the above findings and developed the technical idea. As a result, we focused on the non-shining state using LEDs. That is, the so-called "non-flowing" state of a semiconductor array formed by connecting LEDs (or broader, semiconductors in general) or a plurality of semiconductors in series, which no one has paid attention to until now. The main point of the present application lies in the discovery that it has some influence on the rechargeable and dischargeable batteries connected to this.
 そこで、上記の第2の課題を解決するために、本願発明のまた別の態様に係る半導体利用活性化装置は、電池と、複数個の半導体が直列に接続されて形成される半導体アレイであって、前記電池の+側に接続されるアノード及び該電池の-側に接続されるカソードを持った半導体アレイとを備え、前記半導体アレイの電流のOFF状態における該半導体が前記電池に対して活性化影響を与えることが可能であるものである。 Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned second problem, the semiconductor utilization activation device according to another aspect of the present invention is a semiconductor array formed by connecting a battery and a plurality of semiconductors in series. A semiconductor array having an anode connected to the + side of the battery and a cathode connected to the-side of the battery is provided, and the semiconductor is active with respect to the battery when the current of the semiconductor array is OFF. It is possible to have a cathodic effect.
 ここで、「OFF状態」とは、電流値がゼロからONになるまでの一定時間における該半導体もしくは半導体アレイの状態をいい、たとえば、図4における、A~Bの間の状態をいう。これまでの技術思想においては、半導体もしくは半導体アレイに電流が流れ始めるまでのこの状態には積極的役割が認識されていなかった。これに対して本願発明者は、このOFF状態において半導体もしくは半導体アレイが積極的役割を果たしているのではないかとの仮説を立て、これを種々の実験及び検証を通じて確認して原理を樹立し、かかる原理を産業的に利用できる方式・仕組みに想到し得た。 Here, the "OFF state" refers to the state of the semiconductor or the semiconductor array in a certain time from zero to ON of the current value, for example, the state between A and B in FIG. In the conventional technical ideas, the positive role has not been recognized in this state until the current starts to flow in the semiconductor or the semiconductor array. On the other hand, the inventor of the present application hypothesized that the semiconductor or the semiconductor array might play an active role in this OFF state, confirmed this through various experiments and verifications, and established the principle. I came up with a method / mechanism that can use the principle industrially.
 さらに本願発明者は、上記の現象を更に深く考察し、充放電可能電池以外の一般電池或いは直流或いは交流電源装置に対しても、電流OFF状態における前記半導体もしくは半導体アレイを付加するだけで瞬時に、後述するノイズ低減あるいは音質改善等の効果を持つことを発見した。以上の発見により、本発明の効果としては、一般電源に対する即時的効果と充放電可能電池電源に対する累積的効果があることを発見した。   Further, the inventor of the present application considers the above phenomenon more deeply, and instantly adds the semiconductor or the semiconductor array in the current OFF state to a general battery other than a rechargeable battery or a DC or AC power supply device. , It was discovered that it has effects such as noise reduction and sound quality improvement, which will be described later. From the above findings, it has been discovered that the effects of the present invention include an immediate effect on a general power source and a cumulative effect on a rechargeable battery power source.
またさらに本願発明者は、OFF状態にある半導体もしくは半導体アレイが充放電可能電池に対して、一定の時間に亘って充放電を繰り替える結果、累積的活性化影響が各種機器等に対して与える活性化能力(「累積的活性化能力」という。)の存在をも確認・検証した。そのうえで、本願発明者は、かかる累積的活性化能力を産業的に利用できる方式・仕組みに想到し得た。 Furthermore, the inventor of the present application has a cumulative activation effect on various devices and the like as a result of repeating charging and discharging of a battery in which a semiconductor or a semiconductor array in the OFF state can be charged and discharged over a certain period of time. The existence of activation ability (referred to as "cumulative activation ability") was also confirmed and verified. On that basis, the inventor of the present application has come up with a method / mechanism that can industrially utilize such cumulative activation ability.
すなわち、上記態様に係る半導体利用活性化装置においては、直流/交流電源をさらに備え、前記半導体もしくは半導体アレイは前記電池及び直流/交流電源の+側に接続されるアノード及び該電池の-側に接続されるカソードを備え、前記活性化影響は、前記電池及び直流/交流電源に負荷を接続した場合、負荷として電動機器を接続した場合には即時に負荷が発生するノイズの低減、負荷として音響機器を接続した場合には即時にノイズ低減と共に音響改善、負荷として映像機器を接続した場合には即時にノイズ低減と共に映像品質の改善、の少なくともいずれか一つを与えるものである、としてもよい。 That is, in the semiconductor utilization activation device according to the above aspect, the DC / AC power supply is further provided, and the semiconductor or the semiconductor array is located on the anode connected to the + side of the battery and the DC / AC power supply and the − side of the battery. It is equipped with a cathode to be connected, and the activation effect is that when a load is connected to the battery and DC / AC power supply, noise is immediately generated when an electric device is connected as a load, and acoustic as a load. When a device is connected, noise reduction and sound improvement are immediately given, and when a video device is connected as a load, noise reduction and video quality improvement are immediately given, at least one of them may be given. ..
或いは、代替的に、上記態様に係る半導体利用活性化装置においては、前記電池は充放電可能電池であり、前記活性化影響は、前記半導体もしくは半導体アレイの電流のOFF状態における該半導体もしくは半導体アレイが前記充放電可能電池に対して与える影響が経時的に蓄積される経時蓄積活性化影響である、としてもよい。この場合に、さらに、前記経時蓄積活性化影響は、前記充放電可能電池が充放電を繰り返すことが一定の時間に亘って累積される結果として、前記充放電可能電池の内部抵抗の低減、充放電可能電池に係るCCA値の増大、前記充放電可能電池に乗るノイズの低減、充放電可能電池に係る電流容量の復活増大、前記充放電可能電池が音響機器電源として適用された場合には該音響機器に係る音響改善、前記充放電可能電池が映像機器電源として適用された場合には該映像機器に係る映像品質の改善、前記充放電可能電池への外部ノイズの重畳し難さ、前記充放電可能電池の再活性化、の少なくともいずれか一つである、としてもよい。 Alternatively, in the semiconductor utilization activation device according to the above aspect, the battery is a chargeable / dischargeable battery, and the activation effect is the semiconductor or the semiconductor array in the OFF state of the current of the semiconductor or the semiconductor array. May be the effect of activating the accumulation over time, which is the effect of accumulating over time on the rechargeable battery. In this case, the effect of the accumulation activation over time is further reduced and charged by reducing the internal resistance of the rechargeable battery as a result of the accumulation of repeated charging and discharging of the rechargeable battery over a certain period of time. Increasing the CCA value of the rechargeable battery, reducing the noise on the rechargeable battery, increasing the recovery of the current capacity of the rechargeable battery, and when the rechargeable battery is applied as a power source for audio equipment, Acoustic improvement related to audio equipment, improvement of image quality related to the video equipment when the rechargeable battery is applied as a power source for the video equipment, difficulty of superimposing external noise on the rechargeable battery, the charging It may be at least one of reactivation of the dischargeable battery.
 また、上記構成において、半導体としては、LEDに限られるものではなく、あらゆる種類の半導体を含み得、また、充放電可能電池としては、鉛蓄電池、リチウムイオン二次電池、リチウムイオンポリマー二次電池、ニッケル・水素蓄電池、ニッケル・カドミウム蓄電池、ニッケル・鉄蓄電池 (エジソン電池)、ニッケル・亜鉛蓄電池、酸化銀・亜鉛蓄電池、コバルトチタンリチウム二次電池で代表される一般型、レドックス・フロー電池、亜鉛・塩素電池、亜鉛・臭素電池で代表される液循環型、アルミニウム・空気電池、空気亜鉛電池、空気・鉄電池で代表されるメカニカルチャージ型、ナトリウム・硫黄電池、リチウム・硫化鉄電池で代表される高温動作型のいずれをも含み得るし、また、これらに限定されるものでもない。 Further, in the above configuration, the semiconductor is not limited to the LED, and may include all kinds of semiconductors, and the chargeable / dischargeable battery includes a lead storage battery, a lithium ion secondary battery, and a lithium ion polymer secondary battery. , Nickel-hydrogen storage battery, nickel-cadmium storage battery, nickel-iron storage battery (Edison battery), nickel-zinc storage battery, silver oxide / zinc storage battery, general type represented by cobalt titanium lithium secondary battery, redox flow battery, zinc・ Liquid circulation type represented by chlorine battery, zinc / bromine battery, aluminum / air battery, air zinc battery, mechanical culture type represented by air / iron battery, sodium / sulfur battery, lithium / iron sulfide battery It may include, and is not limited to, any of the high temperature operating types.
 上記構成を備える当該別の態様に係る半導体利用活性化装置によれば、半導体のOFF状態の経時的累積影響により、充放電可能電池が再活性化される。 According to the semiconductor utilization activation device according to the other aspect having the above configuration, the chargeable / dischargeable battery is reactivated due to the cumulative effect of the semiconductor OFF state over time.
 上記に説明してきたごとく、本発明の各実施態様によれば、電源に接続してすぐ効果を発揮する即時的効果と、二次電池が充放電を繰り返すことにより効果を発揮する累積的(経時的)効果とを有することが確認できた。以上の効果により、本発明の一態様によれば、電源の構造や組成を変更することなく、電源の外部に付加する形で電源の内部抵抗を低減する電源アダプタ、直流電源装置および交流電源装置を提供することができる。 As described above, according to each embodiment of the present invention, an immediate effect that exerts an effect immediately after being connected to a power source and a cumulative effect that exerts an effect by repeatedly charging and discharging the secondary battery (time). It was confirmed that it had an effect. Due to the above effects, according to one aspect of the present invention, a power adapter, a DC power supply, and an AC power supply that reduce the internal resistance of the power supply by adding it to the outside of the power supply without changing the structure or composition of the power supply. Can be provided.
 そのため、従来使用されている既存の電源に容易に適用することができる。即ち、本発明の一態様に係る電源アダプタを出力端に接続することにより多くの電源電流を流すことができる。このため、消耗しかかって内部抵抗が増大し、電流容量が減少してしまった電池の出力端に、本発明の電源アダプタを取付ければ、電流容量が復活増大して延長使用することができる。 Therefore, it can be easily applied to the existing power supply that has been used conventionally. That is, a large amount of power supply current can be passed by connecting the power supply adapter according to one aspect of the present invention to the output end. Therefore, if the power adapter of the present invention is attached to the output end of the battery whose internal resistance has increased due to exhaustion and the current capacity has decreased, the current capacity can be restored and increased for extended use.
 DC電源ばかりでなく、AC電源の内部抵抗も低減できるため、電源に乗るノイズを低減できると考えられ、音響機器電源に本発明を適用すれば音響改善を達成することができる。同様に、映像機器電源に本発明を適用すれば映像品質の改善が期待できる。 Since not only the DC power supply but also the internal resistance of the AC power supply can be reduced, it is considered that the noise on the power supply can be reduced, and if the present invention is applied to the audio equipment power supply, acoustic improvement can be achieved. Similarly, if the present invention is applied to a power source for video equipment, improvement in video quality can be expected.
 また、後述するバッテリ電源のCCAについても大幅な改善効果が見られ、今後大きな発展が予想される電気自動車に対して大きな貢献をもたらす効果が期待できる。 In addition, a significant improvement effect can be seen in the battery-powered CCA described later, which can be expected to make a significant contribution to electric vehicles, which are expected to develop significantly in the future.

 以下、図面を参照して本発明の一実施形態に係る電源アダプタおよび直流電源装置について説明する。 Hereinafter, the power adapter and the DC power supply device according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
 (発光ダイオードの電流-電圧特性)
 本発明は、発光ダイオード(LED)を用いるので、まず、発光ダイオードの電流-電圧特性について説明する。図1は発光ダイオードの電流-電圧特性図を示す。図1が示すように、発光ダイオードは、半導体を用いたpn接合構造をしており、アノードからカソードの向かう順方向に所定電圧(順方向下降電圧)を超える前は、電圧を上げても電流は流れず発光もせず、所定電圧を超えると電圧上昇に対する電流の流れ方が急になり、電流量に応じて電子が正孔に再結合する量を増大するとともに、電子の一部が持つエネルギーが外部へ光となって放出される特性を有している。この境界となる電圧Vを順方向下降電圧あるいは障壁電圧と呼んでいる。白色発光ダイオード、赤色発光ダイオードの順方向下降電圧はそれぞれ3.09V、2.22Vと計算されている。
(Current-voltage characteristics of light emitting diode)
Since the present invention uses a light emitting diode (LED), first, the current-voltage characteristics of the light emitting diode will be described. FIG. 1 shows a current-voltage characteristic diagram of the light emitting diode. As shown in FIG. 1, the light emitting diode has a pn junction structure using a semiconductor, and a current is generated even if the voltage is increased before the predetermined voltage (forward downward voltage) is exceeded in the forward direction from the anode to the cathode. Does not flow or emit light, and when the voltage exceeds a predetermined voltage, the current flows rapidly with respect to the voltage rise, and the amount of electrons recombinated with holes increases according to the amount of current, and the energy of some of the electrons. Has the property of being emitted as light to the outside. The voltage V at this boundary is called a forward downward voltage or a barrier voltage. The forward downward voltage of the white light emitting diode and the red light emitting diode is calculated to be 3.09V and 2.22V, respectively.
 (第1の実施形態の電源アダプタ)
 図2は本発明の第1実施形態に係る電源アダプタ10の基本構成を示す図である。電源アダプタ10は、12V電池電源2の出力端3に赤色LEDであるL1~L7を直列に接続した直列LED列形状の発光ダイオードアレイ1を、アノード側を電池電源2の+端子に、カソード側を―端子に取り付けて、閉回路を形成するように構成される。
(Power adapter of the first embodiment)
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a basic configuration of the power adapter 10 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The power adapter 10 has a series LED row-shaped light emitting diode array 1 in which red LEDs L1 to L7 are connected in series to the output terminal 3 of the 12V battery power supply 2, with the anode side as the + terminal of the battery power supply 2 and the cathode side. -Attached to the terminals to form a closed circuit.
 図2では、二次電池1が12Vの電池電源が用いられるとともに、発光ダイオードアレイ1には7個の赤色LEDが用いられる場合を示しており、赤色発光ダイオードの順方向下降電圧(障壁電圧)値が2.22Vであることから、7個の赤色発光ダイオード11~17を直列接続して形成される電源アダプタの合成障壁電圧は略15Vとなり、電池電源の12Vより大である。この状態で電源の内部抵抗を減少できるが、実際に本発明の電源アダプタを適用する場合は、後述の図3のような実施形態にすることでさらに内部抵抗を低減させることができる(詳細は後述する)。 FIG. 2 shows a case where a battery power source of 12 V is used for the secondary battery 1 and seven red LEDs are used for the light emitting diode array 1, and the forward downward voltage (barrier voltage) of the red light emitting diode is shown. Since the value is 2.22V, the combined barrier voltage of the power adapter formed by connecting seven red light emitting diodes 11 to 17 in series is approximately 15V, which is larger than the battery power supply of 12V. The internal resistance of the power supply can be reduced in this state, but when the power adapter of the present invention is actually applied, the internal resistance can be further reduced by adopting the embodiment as shown in FIG. 3 described later (details are as follows). Will be described later).
 発光ダイオードアレイ1は、複数個の発光ダイオード(LED)を直列に接続して合計順方向下降電圧値(白色発光ダイオード1個当たりの順方向下降電圧値2.2V×発光ダイオードの個数)が電源電圧値よりも所定量大きい値(例えば3~5V)となるように設定されることが好ましい。例えば、複数個の赤色発光ダイオードの合成順方向下降電圧値を電源電圧値の12Vに近づけると、発光ダイオードの順方向下降電圧値のばらつきや劣化により、1つまたは複数の赤色発光ダイオードが発光してしまう虞があるから、合計順方向下降電圧値が電源電圧値よりも3V大きくなるように赤色発光ダイオードの個数が設定されていてもよい。 In the light emitting diode array 1, a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) are connected in series, and the total forward falling voltage value (forward falling voltage value per white light emitting diode 2.2V x number of light emitting diodes) is used as a power source. It is preferable that the value is set to be a predetermined amount larger than the voltage value (for example, 3 to 5 V). For example, when the combined forward voltage drop value of a plurality of red light emitting diodes is brought close to the power supply voltage value of 12 V, one or more red light emitting diodes emit light due to variation or deterioration of the forward voltage fall voltage value of the light emitting diodes. Therefore, the number of red light emitting diodes may be set so that the total forward voltage drop value is 3 V larger than the power supply voltage value.
 たとえば複数個の赤色LEDを直列接続してなる発光ダイオードアレイ1は、一方の端位置の赤色発光ダイオードL1のアノード(陽極)が、二次電池の陽極端子と負荷抵抗の端子とを接続している給電線の中間点(必ずしも中点でなくともよい。以下同じ。)に接続され、他方の端位置の赤色発光ダイオードのカソード(陰極)が、二次電池の陰極端子と負荷抵抗の端子とを接続している給電線の中間点に接続されていて、二次電池の電流が赤色発光ダイオードL1~L7に対し順方向にながれるように設けられている構成をとることもできる。 For example, in the light emitting diode array 1 in which a plurality of red LEDs are connected in series, the anode (anode) of the red light emitting diode L1 at one end position connects the anode terminal of the secondary battery and the load resistance terminal. The cathode of the red light emitting diode connected to the midpoint (not necessarily the midpoint, the same shall apply hereinafter) of the feeding line at the other end is the anode terminal of the secondary battery and the terminal of the load resistor. It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which the secondary battery current is connected to the midpoint of the power feeding line connecting the two to the red light emitting diodes L1 to L7 so as to flow in the forward direction.
 発光ダイオードアレイ1は、基盤(不図示)に7個の赤色発光ダイオードL1~L7を並べて設け、基盤に形成したパターン配線により7個の赤色発光ダイオードL1~L7を直列に接続し、2本の給電線の中間点と接続する2つの端子を備えた構成とするのが好ましい。 In the light emitting diode array 1, seven red light emitting diodes L1 to L7 are provided side by side on a board (not shown), and seven red light emitting diodes L1 to L7 are connected in series by a pattern wiring formed on the board to form two light emitting diode arrays 1. It is preferable to have a configuration including two terminals connected to the midpoint of the feeding line.
 なお、上記の例において赤色発光ダイオードに替えて白色発光ダイオードを用いる場合には、複数個の発光ダイオード合計順方向下降電圧値(白色発光ダイオード1個当たりの順方向下降電圧値3.09V×発光ダイオードの個数)が二次電池1の最高出力電圧値よりも3~5V大きくなるように白色発光ダイオードの個数を設定することが好ましい。したがって、この場合には、発光ダイオードアレイは、5個の白色発光ダイオードを直列接続して構成することが好ましい。 When a white light emitting diode is used instead of the red light emitting diode in the above example, the total forward falling voltage value of a plurality of light emitting diodes (forward falling voltage value per white light emitting diode 3.09 V × light emission). It is preferable to set the number of white light emitting diodes so that the number of diodes) is 3 to 5 V larger than the maximum output voltage value of the secondary battery 1. Therefore, in this case, the light emitting diode array is preferably configured by connecting five white light emitting diodes in series.
 (第1の実施形態の変形例)
 本発明は、DC電源ばかりでなく、AC電源の内部抵抗の低減にも適用できる。すなわち、図1において、二次電池1がAC電源と入れ替わる構成をとることが可能である。
(Modified example of the first embodiment)
The present invention can be applied not only to a DC power supply but also to a reduction in the internal resistance of an AC power supply. That is, in FIG. 1, it is possible to adopt a configuration in which the secondary battery 1 is replaced with the AC power supply.

(Power adapter of the second embodiment)
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a basic configuration of the power adapter 10A according to the second embodiment of the present invention. The power adapter 10A is composed of an array in which a light emitting diode array 1A according to a second embodiment in which a plurality of series LED rows are connected in parallel is inserted and connected between a power output terminal 3 (not shown) and a power load 6. .. More specifically, between each of the two power supply lines connecting the two terminals of the battery or DC power supply (not shown) and the two terminals of the load resistor 6 (not shown) so as to form a closed circuit.

This is a circuit having a total forward voltage drop value that is a predetermined amount larger than the power supply voltage value.
 図1に示す二次電池1に比べて直流電源装置の出力電圧および出力電流が大きいので、電源アダプタ10Aとして、複数個の発光ダイオード(LED)を直列に接続してなる発光ダイオードアレイの合計順方向下降電圧値を直流電源装置10Aの電源電圧値よりも所定量大きくなるように設けかつ複数の発光ダイオードアレイを並列に設けることで、直流電源装置からの電流が複数の発光ダイオードアレイに分散するようにした回路である。 Since the output voltage and output current of the DC power supply device are larger than those of the secondary battery 1 shown in FIG. 1, the total order of the light emitting diode arrays formed by connecting a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) in series as the power adapter 10A.

It is a circuit like this.
 (第2の実施形態の変形例)
 第2の実施形態についても、AC電源の内部抵抗の低減にも適用できる。すなわち、図2において、直流電源装置がAC電源と入れ替わる。AC電源の場合は、上記直列LED列(発光ダイオードアレイ)の合成障壁電圧が、AC電源電圧の√2倍以上になるような個数のLEDを直列に接続した直列LED列を用いれば良いことが検証により確認できた。
(Modified example of the second embodiment)
The second embodiment can also be applied to reduce the internal resistance of the AC power supply. That is, in FIG. 2, the DC power supply device is replaced with the AC power supply. In the case of an AC power supply, it is sufficient to use a series LED train in which a number of LEDs connected in series so that the combined barrier voltage of the series LED train (light emitting diode array) is √2 times or more the AC power supply voltage. It was confirmed by verification.
 すなわち、本願の第2の実施形態に係りAC電源の内部抵抗の低減にも適用できる電源アダプタは、交流電源装置の2つの端子と、負荷抵抗の2つの端子とを閉回路を構成するように接続する2本の給電線の各中間点同士を短絡するように設けられる複数個の発光ダイオードを直列に接続して電源電圧値×√2よりも所定量大きい合計順方向下降電圧値を有する発光ダイオードアレイを複数並列に有する回路を備えて構成される。 That is, in the power adapter that can be applied to the reduction of the internal resistance of the AC power supply according to the second embodiment of the present application, the two terminals of the AC power supply device and the two terminals of the load resistance form a closed circuit.

 AC電源に電源アダプタを付設すると、AC電源の内部抵抗も低減でき、電源に乗るノイズを低減できると考えられ、音響機器電源に本発明を適用すれば音響改善を達成することができる。同様に、映像機器電源に本発明を適用すれば映像品質の改善が期待できる。 It is considered that if a power adapter is attached to the AC power supply, the internal resistance of the AC power supply can be reduced and the noise on the power supply can be reduced, and if the present invention is applied to the audio equipment power supply, acoustic improvement can be achieved. Similarly, if the present invention is applied to a power source for video equipment, improvement in video quality can be expected.
 AC電源の内部抵抗が減少することは電源インピーダンスが減少したことになり、特にAC電源に外部ノイズが重畳し難くなり、音響機器の電源に本発明の電源アダプタを取付けることにより大変クリアな音響再生をすることができる。同様に、AC電源電圧が上昇するため付加機器の効率が上昇し、音質改善、映像改善にも効果が及ぶと考えられる。 A decrease in the internal resistance of the AC power supply means a decrease in the power supply impedance, and in particular, it becomes difficult for external noise to be superimposed on the AC power supply. By attaching the power adapter of the present invention to the power supply of audio equipment, very clear sound reproduction is performed. Can be done. Similarly, it is considered that the efficiency of the additional device is increased because the AC power supply voltage is increased, which is effective in improving the sound quality and the image.
 (二次電池、直流電源装置、および交流流電源装置の各内部抵抗と、電源アダプタの付設の有無)
 上述した充放電可能な二次電池、直流電源装置、および交流流電源装置の内部抵抗は内部抵抗計測装置により計測することができる。この場合、例えば、図1の回路において、発光ダイオードアレイ1と負荷抵抗4との間に位置して2本の給電線を短絡するように内部抵抗計測装置の2つの端子(プローブ)を接続する。
(Internal resistance of secondary battery, DC power supply, and AC power supply, and presence / absence of power adapter)
The internal resistance of the above-mentioned rechargeable secondary battery, DC power supply device, and AC flow power supply device can be measured by the internal resistance measuring device. In this case, for example, in the circuit of FIG. 1, two terminals (probes) of the internal resistance measuring device are connected so as to be located between the light emitting diode array 1 and the load resistance 4 and short-circuit the two feeder lines. ..
 図3の状態で、実際に12V36A(5時間率)の車用バッテリー電源5の内部抵抗を内部抵抗計測装置4にて計測した例では、試用した本発明の一実施形態に係る電源アダプタ(赤色LED9個直列を7列に並列接続、白色LED10個直列を10列に並列接続、計 1,441個のLED)が無い状態では10.41mΩであったが、本発明の一実施形態に係る電源アダプタを付加した状態では8.6mΩと低減することができた。 In the example in which the internal resistance of the vehicle battery power supply 5 of 12V36A (5-hour rate) was actually measured by the internal resistance measuring device 4 in the state of FIG. 3, the power adapter (red) according to the embodiment of the present invention was tried. The power supply according to the embodiment of the present invention was 10.41 mΩ in the absence of 9 LEDs in series connected in 7 rows and 10 white LEDs connected in series in 10 rows, for a total of 1,441 LEDs. With the adapter attached, it could be reduced to 8.6 mΩ.
 また、図5で示すように前記バッテリー或いは直流電源51に直流モーター54を接続して駆動させ、本発明の電源アダプター52を接続する前後の直流モーター54への配線に重畳するノイズをオシロスコープ55によって観測した。図5においては6Vの直流電源を用い、おなじく6VのDCモーターと白色LED53を10個直列し、それを10列並列接続したものを3個並列にして電源アダプター52として電源に接続している。 Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the DC motor 54 is connected to and driven by the battery or the DC power supply 51, and the noise superimposed on the wiring to the DC motor 54 before and after connecting the power adapter 52 of the present invention is generated by the oscilloscope 55. Observed. In FIG. 5, a 6V DC power supply is used, and 10 similar 6V DC motors and 10 white LEDs 53 are connected in series, and 3 of them are connected in parallel in 10 rows and connected to the power supply as a power adapter 52.
 図6は、上記電源アダプター2の実際の斜視図(実際に検証された写真画像を写生したもの)である。図6の基板62一枚には白色LEDを10個直列接続し、更に10列を並列接続したLED基板62を3層に並列接続してある。図7は、図5のブロック図を実際の測定回路とした斜視図(実際に検証された写真画像を写生したもの)であり、直流電源71に直流モーター73と本発明の電源アダプター3が接続されている。直流モーター73配線に重畳されるノイズを観測するためオシロスコープ(図示せず)のプローブ74が直流モーター73の配線に接続されている。 FIG. 6 is an actual perspective view of the power adapter 2 (a photographic image actually verified). Ten white LEDs are connected in series to one substrate 62 in FIG. 6, and LED substrates 62 in which 10 rows are connected in parallel are connected in parallel in three layers. FIG. 7 is a perspective view (a photographic image actually verified) of the block diagram of FIG. 5 as an actual measurement circuit, in which the DC motor 73 and the power adapter 3 of the present invention are connected to the DC power supply 71. Has been done. A probe 74 of an oscilloscope (not shown) is connected to the wiring of the DC motor 73 in order to observe the noise superimposed on the wiring of the DC motor 73.
図8Aは本発明の電源アダプターを付加する以前の直流モーターへの配線のノイズ状態のオシロスコープ観測図(実際に検証された写真画像を写生したもの)であり、図8Bは本発明の電源アダプターを接続した場合の観測図(実際に検証された写真画像を写生したもの)である。 FIG. 8A is an oscilloscope observation diagram (a photographic image actually verified) of the noise state of the wiring to the DC motor before the power adapter of the present invention is added, and FIG. 8B shows the power adapter of the present invention. It is an observation map (a copy of an actually verified photographic image) when connected.
 図8から分かるように、モーター駆動電流波形81に重畳するノイズ82のピーク値が明らかに3分の1以下に低減されていることが分かる。これは前述した本発明の一実施形態による音質改善効果或いは映像品質改善効果を立証するものと考えられる。以上説明した内部抵抗改善効果、ノイズ改善効果は本発明の電源アダプタを電源に接続すると即時に効果が表れる即時的効果である。 As can be seen from FIG. 8, it can be seen that the peak value of the noise 82 superimposed on the motor drive current waveform 81 is clearly reduced to one-third or less. This is considered to prove the sound quality improving effect or the image quality improving effect by one embodiment of the present invention described above. The internal resistance improving effect and the noise improving effect described above are immediate effects that appear immediately when the power adapter of the present invention is connected to the power supply.
 一方、充放電可能なバッテリ―に本発明の一実施形態に係る電源アダプタを付けて5~6回充放電を繰り返すと更に低減効果が増大し、例えば1.2Vの充電電池に本発明一実施形態に係る50個の赤色LED(障壁電圧2.22V)を並列接続した電源アダプタを接続した場合、接続前の内部抵抗461.9mΩに対して110.4mΩと内部抵抗が格段に減少した。これは、上記の即時的効果に対して、一定時間における繰り返しによってもたらされる累積的効果であると考えられる。 On the other hand, if the power adapter according to the embodiment of the present invention is attached to the rechargeable battery and the charge / discharge is repeated 5 to 6 times, the reduction effect is further increased. For example, the present invention is carried out for a 1.2 V rechargeable battery. When a power adapter with 50 red LEDs (barrier voltage 2.22V) connected in parallel was connected, the internal resistance was 110.4 mΩ, which was significantly reduced from the internal resistance of 461.9 mΩ before the connection. This is considered to be a cumulative effect brought about by repeating the above-mentioned immediate effect over a certain period of time.
 車に用いるバッテリでは、バッテリの性能を表す指標として内部抵抗のほかにCCAがある。CCAとは、コールド・クランキング・アンペアの略で、アメリカでのバッテリ規格の表し方である。マイナス18℃の環境で、端子電圧が7.2Vまで低下するような放電を30秒間行った場合に、バッテリ内部にどれだけ電気を出力する能力があるかを判断する指標である。 For batteries used in cars, there is CCA in addition to internal resistance as an index showing the performance of the battery. CCA is an abbreviation for cold cranking amperes and is a representation of battery standards in the United States. It is an index for determining how much electricity can be output inside the battery when a discharge is performed for 30 seconds so that the terminal voltage drops to 7.2 V in an environment of -18 ° C.
本発明の一実施形態に係る電源アダプタの効果を車用のバッテリの応用した場合について検証してみた。前述した車用の12V36Aバッテリー電源に、前述した1.441個の本発明の一実施形態に係る電源アダプタを付加して5~6回充放電を繰り返した場合と、付加しない場合とのCCAを計測・比較した。電源アダプタを付加する前の内部抵抗はCCAは240、電源アダプタを付加した場合のCCAは384、と明らかに大幅改善が見られた。以上の様に、本発明の電源アダプターを付加して充放電を繰り返すことにより充放電電池に累積的な改善をもたらすことができる累積効果が得られると考えられ、本発明の電源アダプターによって即時的効果と累積的効果との双方が得られることが判明した。 The effect of the power adapter according to the embodiment of the present invention was verified when the battery for a car was applied. CCA for the case where 1.441 power adapters according to the embodiment of the present invention are added to the above-mentioned 12V36A battery power supply for a car and charging / discharging is repeated 5 to 6 times, and the case where the power adapter is not added. Measured and compared. The internal resistance before adding the power adapter was 240 for CCA and 384 for CCA when the power adapter was added, showing a clear significant improvement. As described above, it is considered that by adding the power adapter of the present invention and repeating charging and discharging, a cumulative effect that can bring about a cumulative improvement in the charging / discharging battery can be obtained, and the power adapter of the present invention immediately provides the cumulative effect. It was found that both the effect and the cumulative effect were obtained.
上記の各種実験・検証により明らかなように、本発明の一実施形態に係る電源アダプタによれば、内部抵抗を低減させることができる。 As is clear from the above-mentioned various experiments / verifications, the power adapter according to the embodiment of the present invention can reduce the internal resistance.
 電源の内部抵抗が減少することは電源インピーダンスが減少したことになり、特にAC電源に外部ノイズが重畳し難くなり、音響機器の電源に本発明の電源アダプタを取付けることにより大変クリアな音響再生をすることができる。 A decrease in the internal resistance of the power supply means a decrease in the power supply impedance, and in particular, it becomes difficult for external noise to be superimposed on the AC power supply, and by attaching the power supply adapter of the present invention to the power supply of audio equipment, very clear sound reproduction can be achieved. can do.
 (第3の実施形態の変形例)
 本発明の第3の実施形態は、半導体もしくは半導体アレイの電流がいわゆる「流れていない」状態(LEDを採用した場合には、光っていない状態)に着目したことから発展した技術思想である。すなわち、これまでは誰も着目していなかった、半導もしくは半導体アレイ体が、これに繋がっている充放電可能電池に対して何らかの影響を及ぼしている、ということを発見したところに本願の第3の実施形態の主眼が存在する。
(Modified example of the third embodiment)
A third embodiment of the present invention is a technical idea developed from focusing on a so-called "non-flowing" state (when an LED is adopted, a non-shining state) of a semiconductor or a semiconductor array. That is, the first of the present application is the discovery that the semiconducting or semiconductor array body, which no one has paid attention to so far, has some influence on the rechargeable and dischargeable batteries connected to the semiconducting or semiconductor array body. There is a main focus of the third embodiment.
図4は、本発明の第3の実施形態に係り、発光ダイオードの電流-電圧特性図において、OFF状態を説明するための概念図である。同図において、「A」で示されるのは、電圧を印加したスタート時点(すなわち電流値がゼロの初期状態時点)であり、「B」で示されるのは、電圧を印加した場合に電流値が経時的に変化するタイミングのうち、電流値が実質的に立ち上がる(ゼロとは有意の差分が認められる程度の数値を示す)時点をいう。 FIG. 4 is a conceptual diagram for explaining an OFF state in the current-voltage characteristic diagram of the light emitting diode according to the third embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, "A" indicates the start time when the voltage is applied (that is, the initial state when the current value is zero), and "B" indicates the current value when the voltage is applied. Of the timing when the current value changes with time, it means the time when the current value substantially rises (zero indicates a value to which a significant difference is recognized).
図4に示されるように、「OFF状態」とは、電流値がゼロから(実質的に)ONになるまでの一定時間における該半導体もしくは半導体アレイの状態をいい、たとえば、図4における、A~Bの間の状態をいう。これまでの技術思想においては、半導体もしくは半導体アレイに電流が流れ始めるまでのこの状態には積極的役割を認識されていなかったのに対して、本願の第3の実施形態では、このOFF状態における半導体もしくは半導体アレイが充放電可能電池に対して、一定の時間に亘って累積的に及ぼす影響に着目した。さらに、この影響が各種機器等を活性化させる能力を持つことを発見し、これを基に産業上の利用価値を発生させる装置を創造したものである。 As shown in FIG. 4, the “OFF state” refers to the state of the semiconductor or semiconductor array in a certain period of time from zero to (substantially) ON of the current value, for example, A in FIG. The state between ~ B. In the technical idea so far, the positive role has not been recognized in this state until the current starts to flow in the semiconductor or the semiconductor array, whereas in the third embodiment of the present application, in this OFF state. We focused on the cumulative effect of semiconductors or semiconductor arrays on rechargeable batteries over a period of time. Furthermore, he discovered that this effect has the ability to activate various devices, and based on this, he created a device that generates industrial utility value.
つまり、このOFF状態は、たとえば半導体もしくは半導体アレイがLEDもしくはLEDアレイだとすると、発光しない状態であり、表面上は何も起こっていないように見える。しかし、本願発明者は、種々の繰り返し実験・検証の結果、この一見何も起こっていないOFF状態において、半導体と充放電可能電池との間で何らかの物理的/化学的現象が起こっている、と仮説を立てた。 That is, in this OFF state, for example, if the semiconductor or the semiconductor array is an LED or an LED array, it does not emit light, and it seems that nothing has happened on the surface. However, the inventor of the present application has stated that, as a result of various repeated experiments and verifications, some physical / chemical phenomenon has occurred between the semiconductor and the rechargeable battery in this seemingly nothing-free OFF state. I made a hypothesis.
この仮説にしたがって、各種自動車やオーディオ等を対象に実証実験を行った結果、車用の充放電可能な二次電池の端子電圧13.8Vが14.8Vに上昇し、エンジンの点火効率が向上したためと思われる燃費向上が観測された。すなわち上記仮説は正しく、かつ、この物理的/化学的現象とは、充放電可能電池を蘇らせる、別言すれば、いわば若返らせる(Revitalize)効果に関係するものであると推測できる、との結論に至った。 According to this hypothesis, as a result of conducting demonstration experiments on various automobiles and audio, the terminal voltage of the rechargeable secondary battery for automobiles increased to 13.8V, improving the ignition efficiency of the engine. An improvement in fuel efficiency was observed, which was probably due to this. That is, the above hypothesis is correct, and it can be inferred that this physical / chemical phenomenon is related to the effect of reviving a rechargeable battery, in other words, rejuvenating (Revitalize). I came to a conclusion.
そこで、本発明者は本発明の第3の実施形態として、これを産業上利用すべく、半導体利用電源活性化装置として、また、その一形態としての電源アダプタ、(直流/交流)電源装置、として実現化したものである。この第3の実施形態に係る半導体利用活性化装置は、技術思想的には、充放電可能電池と、この充放電可能電池の+側に接続されるアノード及び該電池の-側に接続されるカソードを持った半導体もしくは半導体アレイと、この半導体もしくは半導体アレイの電流のOFF状態における該半導体もしくは半導体アレイが充放電可能電池に対して与える活性化影響が経時的に蓄積される手段とを備えて構成される。 Therefore, the present inventor, as a third embodiment of the present invention, as a semiconductor-based power supply activating device, and as a form thereof, a power adapter, a (DC / AC) power supply device, for industrial use. It was realized as. The semiconductor utilization activation device according to the third embodiment is technically connected to a rechargeable battery, an anode connected to the + side of the rechargeable battery, and the-side of the battery. A semiconductor or semiconductor array having a cathode and a means for accumulating the activation effect of the semiconductor or semiconductor array on a rechargeable battery in the OFF state of the current of the semiconductor or semiconductor array over time. It is composed.
上記構成を備えることにより、半導体もしくは半導体アレイのOFF状態の経時的累積影響により、充放電可能電池が再活性化される。なお、上記において、半導体としては、LEDに限られるものではなく、あらゆる種類の半導体を含み得る。つまり、上記の充放電可能電池に対して与える活性化影響を持つという性質は半導体もしくは半導体アレイ全般に対していえるものであると推測される。したがって、半導体としては、上述したLEDでなくでもよい。上記でLEDを採用した例を説明したのは、ON状態が可視的に確認できるためである。 With the above configuration, the rechargeable battery is reactivated due to the cumulative effect of the semiconductor or the semiconductor array in the OFF state over time. In the above, the semiconductor is not limited to the LED, and may include any kind of semiconductor. That is, it is presumed that the above-mentioned property of having an activating effect on a rechargeable battery can be said for semiconductors or semiconductor arrays in general. Therefore, the semiconductor does not have to be the LED described above. The reason why the example in which the LED is adopted is described above is that the ON state can be visually confirmed.
また、充放電可能電池としては、鉛蓄電池、リチウムイオン二次電池、リチウムイオンポリマー二次電池、ニッケル・水素蓄電池、ニッケル・カドミウム蓄電池、ニッケル・鉄蓄電池 (エジソン電池)、ニッケル・亜鉛蓄電池、酸化銀・亜鉛蓄電池、コバルトチタンリチウム二次電池で代表される一般型、レドックス・フロー電池、亜鉛・塩素電池、亜鉛・臭素電池で代表される液循環型、アルミニウム・空気電池、空気亜鉛電池、空気・鉄電池で代表されるメカニカルチャージ型、ナトリウム・硫黄電池、リチウム・硫化鉄電池で代表される高温動作型のいずれをも含み得るし、また、これらに限定されるものでもない。 The rechargeable and dischargeable batteries include lead storage batteries, lithium ion secondary batteries, lithium ion polymer secondary batteries, nickel / hydrogen storage batteries, nickel / cadmium storage batteries, nickel / iron storage batteries (Edison batteries), nickel / zinc storage batteries, and oxidation. Silver / zinc storage battery, general type represented by cobalt titanium lithium secondary battery, redox flow battery, zinc / chlorine battery, liquid circulation type represented by zinc / bromine battery, aluminum / air battery, air zinc battery, air -It may include, and is not limited to, a mechanical charge type represented by an iron battery, a sodium / sulfur battery, and a high temperature operation type represented by a lithium / iron sulfide battery.
 以上述べてきたように、本発明を実際に応用する場合は、各種のバリエーションが考えられるが、それらはすべて本発明の技術思想に含まれるものである。 As described above, when the present invention is actually applied, various variations can be considered, but all of them are included in the technical idea of the present invention.
 本発明によれば、電源の構造や組成を変更することなく、充放電可能な二次電池または直流電源装置(電源)の外部に付加する形で電源の内部抵抗を低減するという効果を有し、したがって、消耗しかかって内部抵抗が増大し、電流容量が減少してしまった二次電池等の出力端に、本発明の電源アダプタを取付ければ電流容量が復活増大して延長使用することができる。 According to the present invention, there is an effect of reducing the internal resistance of the power supply by adding it to the outside of a rechargeable secondary battery or a DC power supply device (power supply) without changing the structure or composition of the power supply. Therefore, if the power adapter of the present invention is attached to the output end of a secondary battery or the like whose internal resistance has increased due to exhaustion and the current capacity has decreased, the current capacity can be restored and increased for extended use. it can.
 本発明者は、本発明を車用のバッテリ、特になかなか充電できなかった中古バッテリ、に本発明の電源アダプタを接続したところ、内部抵抗が減少したためか、ほとんどを再度実用化させることができることを確認した。また、多少弱った状態のバッテリに本アダプタを接続したところ、全て新品同様のCCA値を示して復活させることができた。上記の例のように本発明はバッテリを使用する交通、動力機械分野に多大な利用可能性をもたらすものである。更には音響機器の電源に応用することにより音響改善やノイズ低減が可能なことから産業上の広い応用可能性が考えられる。 The present inventor found that when the power adapter of the present invention was connected to a car battery, particularly a used battery that could not be charged easily, most of the present invention could be put into practical use again probably because the internal resistance was reduced. confirmed. In addition, when this adapter was connected to a slightly weakened battery, all of them showed the same CCA value as new and could be restored. As in the above example, the present invention brings great applicability to the fields of transportation and power machinery using batteries. Furthermore, by applying it to the power supply of audio equipment, it is possible to improve the sound and reduce noise, so it is considered to have a wide range of industrial applications.
 また、上記第3の実施形態によれば、半導体のこれまでに着目されていなかった半導体もしくは半導体アレイのOFF領域を積極的に活用することで充放電可能電池を蘇らせる、別言すれば、いわば若返らせる(Revitalize)効果を有するので、太陽電池をはじめ、各種産業及び産業基盤において、絶大なる利用可能性が存在することが予想される。 Further, according to the third embodiment, the rechargeable battery can be revived by positively utilizing the OFF region of the semiconductor or the semiconductor array, which has not been paid attention to so far, in other words. Since it has a so-called rejuvenating effect, it is expected that there is tremendous potential for use in various industries and industrial bases including solar cells.
