Abstract

A non-contact type power transmitting apparatus may include a rectifying unit rectifying alternating current (AC) power, a power converting unit converting the power rectified by the rectifying unit into direct current (DC) power through a single power converting operation and switching and transmitting the DC power, and a power transmitting coil transmitting transmission power transmitted from the power converting unit externally in a non-contact scheme.

Claims (15)

1. A non-contact type power transmitting apparatus comprising:

a rectifying unit rectifying alternating current (AC) power;

a power converting unit converting the power rectified by the rectifying unit into direct current (DC) power through a single power converting operation and switching the DC power;

a transformer having a power transmitting coil configured to transmit the power from the power converting unit externally in a non-contact scheme and an auxiliary coil magnetically coupled to the power transmitting coil configured to transfer power converted depending on a turns ratio to the power transmitting coil externally in a contact scheme; and

a bidirectional converter configured to transfer power in two directions including one direction in which the power from the power transmitting coil is transferred to an external electronic device through an input/output interface unit and an other direction in which power of the external electronic device is transmitted externally in the non-contact scheme.

2. The non-contact type power transmitting apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the bidirectional converter transfers the power from the power transmitting coil to the external electronic device through the input/output interface unit when the power from the power transmitting coil is transferred to the bidirectional converter, and transmits the power of the external electronic device externally through the auxiliary coil in the non-contact scheme when transfer of the power from the power transmitting coil stops.

3. A non-contact type power transmitting-receiving apparatus comprising:

a power transmitting apparatus including a rectifying unit configured to rectify AC power, a power converting unit configured to convert the power rectified by the rectifying unit into DC power through a single power converting operation and switching the DC power, and a power transmitting coil configured to transmit the power from the power converting unit externally therefrom in a non-contact scheme; and

a power receiving apparatus including a power receiving coil configured to receive the power transmitted from the power transmitting coil in the non-contact scheme, a power charging unit configured to convert the power received in the power receiving coil into charging power and to charge a battery with the charging power, and a bidirectional converter configured to bidirectionally transfer power between the battery and an external electronic device through an input/output interface unit in a contact scheme.

4. The non-contact type power transmitting-receiving apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the power charging unit includes at least one of a buck converter and a boost converter varying a voltage level of the power received in the power receiving coil.

5. The non-contact type power transmitting-receiving apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the bidirectional converter transfers the power charged in the battery to the external electronic device when a voltage level of the power charged in the battery is higher than that of power of the external electronic device, and transfers the power from the external electronic device to the battery when the voltage level of the power of the external electronic device is higher than that of the power charged in the battery.

6. A contact/non-contact type power transmitting-receiving apparatus comprising:

a power transmitting apparatus including a rectifying unit configured to rectify AC power, a power converting unit configured to convert the power rectified by the rectifying unit into DC power through a single power converting operation and to switch the DC power, a transformer having a power transmitting coil configured to transmit the power from the power converting unit externally in a non-contact scheme and an auxiliary coil magnetically coupled to the power transmitting coil configured to transfer power converted depending on a turns ratio to the power transmitting coil externally therefrom in a contact scheme, and a bidirectional converter configured to transfer power in two directions including one direction in which power induced from the power transmitting coil to the auxiliary coil is transferred to an external electronic device through an input/output interface unit and an other direction in which power from the external electronic device is transmitted to the power receiving coil through the auxiliary coil in the non-contact scheme; and

a power receiving apparatus including a power receiving coil configured to receive the power transmitted from the power transmitting coil in the non-contact scheme and a power charging unit configured to convert the power received in the power receiving coil into charging power and to charge a battery with the charging power.

7. The contact/non-contact type power transmitting-receiving apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the bidirectional converter transfers the power from the auxiliary coil to the external electronic device through the input/output interface unit when the power is induced from the power transmitting coil to the auxiliary coil, and transmits the power of the external electronic device to the power receiving coil through the auxiliary coil in the non-contact scheme when induction of the power from the power transmitting coil to the auxiliary coil stops.
