Abstract

A power supply device may be capable of wirelessly transmitting power at a plurality of resonance frequencies. The power supply device may include: a power conversion unit converting input power into first power; and a wireless power supply unit varying a switching frequency for switching the first power and wirelessly transmitting the switched first power at at least one of a plurality of resonance frequencies.

Claims (35)

1. A power supply device comprising:

a power conversion unit configured to convert input power into first power; and

a wireless power supply unit configured to vary a switching frequency for switching the first power and wirelessly transmit the switched first power at one or more resonance frequencies,

wherein the wireless power supply unit comprises a first capacitor and a second capacitor each configured to resonate with a first power transmission coil according to respective switching frequencies,

wherein the wireless power supply unit comprises:

a switching unit having at least one switch configured to switch the first power from the power conversion unit; and

a resonance unit configured to resonate according to switching of the switching unit to wirelessly transmit the switched power,

wherein the switching unit has a half bridge switch including a first switch and a second switch,

wherein the resonance unit comprises the first capacitor, the second capacitor, and the first power transmission coil,

wherein the first capacitor is connected to a node between the first switch and the second switch of the half bridge switch,

wherein the first power transmission coil is connected to the first capacitor in series, and

wherein the second capacitor is connected to the first power transmission coil in parallel.

2. The power supply device of claim 1 , further comprising a controller configured to vary the switching frequency according to feedback information of the power wirelessly transmitted by the wireless power supply unit and selecting any one or any combination of any two or more of the resonance frequencies.

3. The power supply device of claim 1 , wherein the first capacitor and the first power transmission coil are configured to resonate according to a switching frequency of the half bridge switch.

4. The power supply device of claim 1 , wherein the first power transmission coil and the second capacitor are configured to resonate according to a switching frequency of the half bridge switch.

5. The power supply device of claim 1 , wherein at least two resonance frequencies of the resonance unit work together with a switching frequency of the switching unit.

6. A power supply device comprising:

a power conversion unit configured to convert input power into first power;

a wired power supply unit configured to stabilize the first power from the power conversion unit and transmit the stabilized first power wiredly; and

a wireless power supply unit configured to vary a switching frequency for switching the first power and wirelessly transmit the switched first power at either one or both of a first resonance frequency and a second resonance frequency,

wherein the wireless power supply unit comprises a first capacitor and a second capacitor each configured to resonate with a first power transmission coil according to respective switching frequencies,

wherein the wireless power supply unit comprises:

a switching unit having at least one switch configured to switch the first power from the power conversion unit; and

a resonance unit configured to resonate according to switching of the switching unit to wirelessly transmit the switched power,

wherein the switching unit has a half bridge switch including a first switch and a second switch,

wherein the resonance unit comprises the first capacitor, the second capacitor, and the first power transmission coil,

wherein the first capacitor is connected to a node between the first switch and the second switch of the half bridge switch,

wherein the first power transmission coil is connected to the first capacitor in series, and

wherein the second capacitor is connected to the first power transmission coil in parallel.

7. The power supply device of claim 6 , further comprising a controller configured to vary the switching frequency according to feedback information of the power wirelessly transmitted by the wireless power supply unit and selecting either one or both of the first resonance frequency and the second resonance frequency.

8. The power supply device of claim 6 , wherein the first capacitor and the first power transmission coil are configured to resonate according to a switching frequency of the half bridge switch.

9. The power supply device of claim 6 , wherein the first power transmission coil and the second capacitor are configured to resonate according to a switching frequency of the half bridge switch.

10. The power supply device of claim 6 , wherein the first resonance frequency and the second resonance frequency of the resonance unit interwork with a switching frequency of the switching unit.

11. The power supply device of claim 6 , wherein the first resonance frequency is formed by LC series resonance.

12. The power supply device of claim 6 , wherein the second resonance frequency is formed by LC parallel resonance.
