  • Patent number: 10923950
    Abstract: A power generating method for a wireless power transmission device includes the following steps. Firstly, a power transmitting circuit is switched between an enabled state and a disabled state. When the power transmitting circuit is in the enabled state, the power transmitting circuit emits a first power and the power receiving circuit converts the first power into a second power. Then, the second power is converted into an output power, and the second power is converted into an auxiliary power. If the first power is not received by a power receiving circuit, the above steps are repeated. If the first power is received by the power receiving circuit, the power transmitting circuit is continuously in the enabled state, so that the auxiliary power is continuously generated.

  • Patent number: 10811907
    Abstract: A wireless power transmission device includes a transmitter unit and a receiver unit. The transmitter unit converts an input DC power into an inverted AC power, the receiver unit receives the AC power through a coupling effect. A fault protection method is also provided in the present disclosure. If the receiver unit is abnormal, a main power circuit of the receiver unit is short-circuited. Then, a phase relationship between an inverted AC voltage and an inverted AC current of the inverted AC power is detected. A phase judgment signal is generated according to the phase relationship. An overcurrent judgment signal is generated according to the amplitude of the inverted AC current and a predetermined current threshold. A fault signal is generated according to the phase judgment signal and the overcurrent judgment signal. In response to the fault signal, the wireless power transmission device is controlled to shut down.
