Patent ID: 10374461

Abstract:
A power receiver includes: a secondary-side resonant coil including a resonant coil part to receive electric power from a primary-side resonant coil through magnetic field resonance; a capacitor inserted in series in the resonant coil part; a series circuit of a first switch and a second switch; a first rectifier having a first rectification direction; a second rectifier having a second rectification direction; a detector to detect a voltage waveform or a current waveform of the power; and a controller to adjust, in a state of adjusting a phase difference between the waveform and a driving signal that includes a first signal for switching on/off the first switch and a second signal for switching on/off the second switch to be a predetermined phase difference, a length of a period, during which the switches are both on, to adjust an amount of the power received by the secondary-side resonant coil.
