Abstract
Provided is a wireless power-supplying system equipped with a power-supplying coil disposed on the ground side, and a power-receiving coil that is mounted on a movable body and wirelessly receives power supplied from the power-supplying coil. In addition, the wireless power-supplying system is provided with a recovery coil in the vicinity of a space between the power-supplying coil and the power-receiving coil such that a wound face thereof intersects leakage flux occurring when the power is supplied from the power-supplying coil to the power-receiving coil.
Claims4
A wireless power-supplying system comprising:
- a power-supplying coil disposed on a ground side;
- a power-receiving coil mounted on a movable body and configured to wirelessly receive power supplied from the power-supplying coil;
- a plurality of recovery coils provided in the vicinity of a space between the power-supplying coil and the power-receiving coil such that at least one wound face thereof intersects leakage flux occurring when power is supplied from the power-supplying coil to the power-receiving coil;
- and
- a moving mechanism for moving the plurality of the recovery coils,
- wherein
- the plurality of the recovery coils are provided in a height direction of the space,
- an angle of a wound face varies according to a mounting height, and
- at least one of the plurality of the recovery coils is connected to at least one load,
- wherein:
- the moving mechanism includes a support supporting the plurality of recovery coils and configured to be extendable and contractible;
- the support is configured such that a plurality of posts that correspond to the plurality of recovery coils and air actuators provided between these posts are disposed and formed in a straight line shape;
- and
- the support is configured to increase and reduce an interval between the recovery coils by the extension and contraction of these posts by actuating each of the air actuators.
