  • Patent number: 10491044
    Abstract: An induction charging device and a method for inductively transmitting energy to an induction rechargeable battery device, with at least one primary oscillating circuit that includes at least one charging coil, and with a control/regulation unit for controlling the primary oscillating circuit with an inverter circuit. An excitation frequency of an output signal of the inverter circuit made up of half-waves essentially corresponds to a resonant frequency of the primary oscillating circuit. The induction charging device provides that, for reducing a charging current, the control/regulation unit, after an end-of-charge voltage of the induction rechargeable battery device is reached, controls the inverter circuit so that the output signal periodically sets at least one first half-wave to a high value, and an odd plurality of successive half-waves is then immediately set to a value that is low compared to the high value.

  • Patent number: 10324216
    Abstract: A method for foreign object detection for an induction charging device is described, including an oscillator circuit, in particular, for a hand-held power tool, a resonance frequency and an associated actual quality of the oscillator circuit being detected and the actual quality is subsequently compared to a setpoint quality as a function of the resonance frequency and a decision is made about the presence of a foreign object based on a defined setpoint quality range. The method provides that an internal temperature of induction charging device is detected, in particular, during the wireless energy transmission, and the actual quality is multiplied by a correction factor based on the internal temperature. Also, an induction charging device is described that includes an oscillator circuit and a control and regulating unit, as well as at least one temperature sensor for carrying out the method.
