  • Patent number: 9300149
    Abstract: [Problem to be Solved] To provide a regulator capable of more appropriately preventing the voltage of a battery from increasing beyond a full-charge voltage during a battery chattering. [Solution] A regulator 1 includes a rectifying circuit 2, a first battery detecting circuit 3, a first full-charge detecting circuit 4, a first differentiating circuit 5 having a fifth resistor r5 connected between a first terminal T1 and one end of a first capacitor C1 and a second capacitor connected in series with the fifth resistor r5 between the first terminal T1 and one end of the first capacitor C1, and a first driving circuit DR that controls the rectifying circuit 2 to rectify an alternating current according to output of an alternating-current generator ACG and controls the rectifying circuit 2 to operate or stop according to signal at one end of a first battery connecting switch element SW1.

  • Publication number: 20130169218
    Abstract: A regulator comprises a rectifying circuit that rectifies an alternating current output from an output terminal of each phase of the three-phase alternating-current generator “101” and passes a charging current to the battery “B”; first to third semiconductor devices “T1”, “T2”, “T3” each of which has a first terminal “x1” to which a control signal is input, a second terminal “x2” connected to a negative side of the battery “B”, a third terminal “x3” connected to a positive side of the battery “B”, and a fourth terminal “x4” connected to an output terminal of a corresponding phase “U”, “V”, “W” of the three-phase alternating-current generator “101”; and a controller “CON” that detects a charging voltage for the battery and outputs the control signals based on a detection result.
