AC, or alternating current means the electrical current is alternating directions in a repetitive pattern. AC is created by generators in power plants, and other sources. This AC current is delivered to our homes and businesses by the power lines we see everywhere.
Method and charging bench via magnetic coupling
A charging bench includes three coils that partially overlap, in superposed planes. An electrical feed makes it possible to supply the coils with an AC current from the mains. A portable device to be charged is placed on the upper side of this charging bench. This device includes a winding intended to receive the electrical charging, and a ferrite protective screen. One of the coils (Bb) is selected to emit the magnetic charging flux toward the mobile phone. The selection is carried out via the emission of a series of pulses by at least one of the coils and comparison of return signals with a reference threshold. This comparison also enables one of the other coils (Ba, Bc) to be selected or both of these other two coils (Ba, Bc) to be used to receive a flux for communicating information originating from the portable device to be charged.
