1. A mobile terminal charging device comprising:
- a support plate whose front surface side is used as a mobile terminal placement portion;
a charging coil that is disposed to be movable in a state of opposing the support plate on a rear surface side of the support plate;
a driver that can move the charging coil on the rear surface side of the support plate;
a controller that is connected to the charging coil and the driver;
a memory that is connected to the controller; and
a plurality of foreign object detection coils and a plurality of position detection coils that are provided on the support plate and are connected to the controller,wherein the charging coil is provided with a first detection coil, and a second detection coil disposed inward of the first detection coil and having a smaller diameter than a diameter of the first detection coil,the first and second detection coils are connected to the controller,the memory stores a reference resonance frequency or a reference resonance voltage of each of the plurality of foreign object detection coils for each location where the charging coil is present,wherein the controlleralternately performs an operation of detecting a foreign object by driving some of the plurality of foreign object detection coils and then an operation of detecting a location where the charging coil is present by driving the plurality of position detection coils, in a state before conduction of the charging coil,performs a safety operation when the plurality of foreign object detection coils detect a foreign object in a case where a resonance frequency detected by one of the plurality of foreign object detection coils corresponding to a location where the charging coil is present is higher than the reference resonance frequency stored in the memory, or a resonance voltage detected by one of the plurality of foreign object detection coils corresponding to a location where the charging coil is present is lower than the reference resonance voltage stored in the memory, andcauses the charging coil to be conducted in a case where a location where the charging coil is present is detected by the plurality of position detection coils, and performs a safety operation if a ratio (V2/V1) of a second voltage (V2) detected by the second detection coil to a first voltage (V1) detected by the first detection coil is less than a set value after the charging coil is conducted.

Abstract
In a mobile terminal charging device, when a charging coil is not being enegized, a control unit alternately performs foreign object detection by driving some of a plurality of foreign object detection coils followed by charging coil location detection by driving a plurality of position detection coils. When the charging coil is being energized, foreign object detection is performed using a large-diameter detection coil and a small-diameter coil with which the charging coil is fitted.
