Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A wireless power transmitter according to one exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure includes a body having a transmitting coil unit embedded therein, and having one surface with a portable electronic device located thereon, the portable electronic device receiving power from the transmitting coil unit in a wireless manner, and a driving unit that is configured to rotate the transmitting coil unit centering on a shaft penetrating through the transmitting coil unit, such that the transmitting coil unit is moved close to a receiving coil unit of the portable electronic device.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A wireless power transmitter comprising: a body having a transmitting coil unit embedded therein, and having one surface with a portable electronic device located thereon, the portable electronic device receiving power from the transmitting coil unit in a wireless manner; and a driving unit that is configured to rotate the transmitting coil unit centering on a shaft penetrating through the transmitting coil unit, such that the transmitting coil unit is moved close to a receiving coil unit of the portable electronic device. 2 . The wireless power transmitter of claim 1 , further comprising a sensing unit that is configured to sense a position of the receiving coil unit. 3 . The wireless power transmitter of claim 2 , wherein the sensing unit comprises: a substrate having one surface divided into a plurality of areas; and sensing coils disposed on the areas, respectively. 4 . The wireless power transmitter of claim 3 , further comprising a controller that is configured to transmit a control signal to the driving unit based on a signal received from each of the sensing coils. 5 . The wireless power transmitter of claim 4 , wherein the controller transmits the control signal to the driving unit at a preset time interval based on the signal received from each of the sensing coils to maintain charging efficiency more than a predetermined level. 6 . The wireless power transmitter of claim 1 , wherein the body further comprises a display configured to output a level of charging efficiency. 7 . The wireless power transmitter of claim 1 , wherein the shaft comprises a cavity, through which a conducting wire is inserted, the conducting wire connecting the transmitting coil unit and an inverter to each other. 8 . The wireless power transmitter of claim 1 , wherein the body has at least part formed transparent such that the transmitting coil unit is visible therethrough. 9 . The wireless power transmitter of claim 1 , wherein the shaft is located at a position spaced from a center of the transmitting coil unit. 10 . The wireless power transmitter of claim 9 , wherein the transmitting coil unit has a cross-section in an oval shape. 11 . The wireless power transmitter of claim 1 , further comprising a first coil connected to an inverter, wherein the transmitting coil unit comprises a second coil receiving induced power from the first coil. 12 . The wireless power transmitter of claim 1 , wherein the transmitting coil unit is configured in such a manner that an impedance value thereof is changed according to positions of the receiving coil unit and the transmitting coil unit, and wherein the transmitter further comprises a controller that is configured to transmit a control signal to the driving unit such that the impedance value is present within a preset range.
