Abstract
The invention relates to an apparatus and an adapter portion, the apparatus is connectable to the adapter portion and is suitable for conveying power. Each of the apparatus and adapter portion comprises an alignment portion/module configurable to facilitate contactless alignment, a contact portion/module which is capable of being coupled upon proper alignment, and a sensor portion/module configurable to impede or allow flow of power. The invention also relates to a power system including an apparatus which is pendulously coupled to a support structure and an adapter portion. The pendulous coupling facilitates alignment compensation during contactless alignment between the apparatus and the adapter portion.
Claims13
A power system comprising an apparatus suitable for conveying power and an adapter portion which is connectable to a power supply source and which comprises a contact module through which power from the power supply source is communicable, the apparatus capable of being pendulously coupled to a support structure and pendulously movable relative to the adapter portion, the apparatus comprising:
- a casing having four corners, and shaped and dimensioned to carry:
- a magnetic alignment portion configurable to facilitate contactless alignment between the apparatus and the adapter portion by manner of a 6-axis alignment compensation such that the apparatus is freely movable relative to the adaptor portion due to the 6-axis alignment compensation;
- a contact portion which is capable of being coupled to the contact module when alignment between the apparatus and the adapter portion is established, and
- a sensor portion configurable to allow flow of power between the contact portion and the contact module,
- wherein the casing is capable of being pendulously coupled at each of the four corners, to the support structure.
