Abstract
A means for determining a place and a time at which maintenance is carried out by enabling objective measurement of the status of an object. A power receiving-type information transmission device that is provided in a long body, which is a measurement object, the power receiving-type information transmission device including power receiver for wirelessly receiving power supply from a moving body configured to be movable along a track, information acquisition receiver for acquiring information regarding a physical change occurring in the long body by consuming power obtained by the power receiving receiver, and transmitter for wirelessly transmitting the information to the moving body by consuming the power obtained by the power receiver.
Claims12
An information transmission system comprising:
- a power receiving-type information transmission device that is mounted on a measurement object;
- and
- a moving body having a motor that is movable relative to the power receiving-type information transmission device,
- wherein the power receiving-type information transmission device comprises:
- a power receiver configured to wirelessly receive power supply from the moving body configured to be movable along a track;
- an information acquisition sensor configured to acquire information regarding a physical change occurring in the measurement object by consuming power obtained by the power receiver;
- and
- a transmitter configured to wirelessly transmit the information to the moving body by consuming the power obtained by the power receiver, and
- wherein the moving body comprises:
- a first moving body-side antenna configured to supply the power to the power receiving-type information transmission device,
- a second moving body-side antenna configured to receive the information transmitted from the power receiving-type information transmission device, while moving in a direction toward the power receiving-type information transmission, the second moving body-side antenna being arranged to be spaced behind the first moving body-side antenna in a traveling direction of the moving embody;
- and
- a moving body-side control unit comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions thereon that cause the moving body-side control unit to:
- cause the first moving body-side antenna to supply the power while the moving body is moving;
- and
- cause the second moving body-side antenna to receive the information transmitted from the power receiving-type information transmission device while the moving body is moving.
A moving body, wherein the moving body is movable relative to a power receiving-type information transmission device that acquires information regarding a physical change occurring in a measurement object, and wherein the moving body comprises:
- a first moving body-side antenna configured to supply power to the power receiving-type information transmission device;
- a second moving body-side antenna configured to receive the information transmitted from the power receiving-type information transmission device, while moving in a direction toward the power receiving-type information transmission device, the second moving body-side antenna being arranged to be spaced apart from the first moving body-side antenna in a traveling direction of the moving body, the second moving body-side antenna located at a back of the moving body in the traveling direction;
- and
- a moving body-side control unit comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions thereon that cause the moving body-side control unit to:
- cause the first moving body-side antenna to supply the power while the moving body is moving;
- and
- cause the second moving body-side antenna to receive the information transmitted from the power receiving-type information transmission device while the moving body is moving.
