US Patent 7710751 Secondary-side power receiving circuit of noncontact power supplying equipment

A plurality of pickup coils 2A and 2B are provided, resonance capacitors 3A and 3B forming resonance circuits 4A and 4B resonating at the frequency of an inductive path 1 are respectively connected in series with the pickup coils 2A and 2B, and the resonance circuits 4A and 4B are connected in series. Further, the resonance circuits 4A and 4B are respectively provided with rectifier circuits 6A and 6B for rectifying voltages generated by the resonance circuits 4A and 4B. The rectifier circuits 6A and 6B are connected in parallel and feed power to a load 10. Moreover, a switch 5 is provided to switch a connected state and an open state between the resonance circuits 4A and 4B, and a voltage controller 11 is provided to control an output voltage applied to the load 10, by controlling the switch 5.
