Patent ID: 10027174

Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a resonance-type contactless power supply and a power receiver. A high-frequency power supply provides a high-frequency AC current with a predetermined frequency. A transmitter-side resonant circuit includes a transmitting coil for receiving the high-frequency AC current from the high-frequency power supply. A receiver-side resonant circuit includes a receiving coil which is separated from but coupled to the transmitting coil in contactless manner. The receiver-side resonant circuit receives electric energy from the transmitting coil. A receiver-side parallel capacitor is connected in parallel at an output terminal of the receiver-side resonant circuit. The receiver-side parallel capacitor has a capacitance value which is in inversely proportional to the product of a square of an angular frequency of the predetermined frequency and a predetermined mutual inductance. The predetermined mutual inductance is determined in a case that the transmitting coil and the receiving coil are coupled to each other in a predetermined coupling coefficient. The resonance-type contactless power supply provides a stable output voltage when operating in the predetermined frequency.
