Abstract

A wireless power transfer system is disclosed. A wireless power transmitting apparatus for wirelessly transmitting power to a wireless power receiving apparatus includes a transmitting coil for transmitting the power, a hall sensor for sensing a change width of flux density caused by the wireless power receiving apparatus, and a controller for comparing the sensed change width of the flux density with a predetermined critical value to determine whether to transmit the power, wherein magnets provided in the wireless power transmitting apparatus and the wireless power receiving apparatus are disposed such that polarities of the magnets are different from each other at opposite faces thereof. In the wireless power transfer system, the magnets having polarities are disposed in the wireless power transmitting apparatus and the wireless power receiving apparatus.

Claims (16)

1. A wireless power transmitting apparatus for wirelessly transmitting power to a wireless power receiving apparatus, the wireless power transmitting apparatus comprising:

a transmitting coil for transmitting the power;

a hall sensor for sensing a change width of flux density caused by the wireless power receiving apparatus; and

a controller for comparing the sensed change width of the flux density with a predetermined critical value to determine whether to transmit the power,

wherein magnets provided in the wireless power transmitting apparatus and the wireless power receiving apparatus are disposed such that polarities of the magnets are different from each other at opposite faces thereof, and

wherein the hall sensor is disposed between the magnets of the wireless power transmitting apparatus and the wireless power receiving apparatus.

2. The wireless power transmitting apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a first magnet for generating flux density having a predetermined intensity, wherein the critical value is set based on a distance between the first magnet and the hall sensor.

3. The wireless power transmitting apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the hall sensor comprises at least one hall sensor, and the critical value is differently set based on a distance between each hall sensor and the first magnet.

4. The wireless power transmitting apparatus according to claim 3 , further comprising at least one vibration module for vibrating one side of a top of the wireless power transmitting apparatus, wherein the controller controls driving of the vibration module based on the change width of the flux density measured by the at least one hall sensor.

5. The wireless power transmitting apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the hall sensor is provided between a top of the wireless power transmitting apparatus and the first magnet.

6. The wireless power transmitting apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the first magnet is disposed in a central region of the transmitting coil.

7. The wireless power transmitting apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein

the wireless power receiving apparatus comprises a second magnet, and

the hall sensor senses flux density of the first magnet and flux density of the second magnet to calculate the change width of the flux density.

8. The wireless power transmitting apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the first magnet is a permanent magnet magnetized only at a face thereof opposite to the wireless power receiving apparatus.

9. The wireless power transmitting apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the first magnet is a permanent magnet magnetized using any one selected from among a top and bottom magnetization method, an outer circumferential magnetization method, a sectional multi-pole magnetization method, and an outer circumferential multi-pole magnetization method.
