Abstract
A wireless power supply system includes a mower that executes a mowing work while traveling autonomously, and a charging station that supplies power to the mower. The charging station includes a power supply coil, and the mower includes a power reception coil, a first detector that detects a magnetic field generated by the power supply coil, and a first traveling controller that causes the mower to travel toward the charging station, based on a detection result of the first detector.
Claims12
A charging control system comprising:
- an autonomous traveling work machine configured to execute a predetermined work while traveling autonomously;
- and a charging station configured to supply power to the autonomous traveling work machine,
- the charging station comprising a power supply coil,
- the autonomous traveling work machine comprising:
- a power reception coil;
- a first detector configured to detect a magnetic field generated by the power supply coil;
- and
- a first traveling controller configured to cause the autonomous traveling work machine to travel toward the charging station, based on a detection result of the first detector.
An autonomous traveling work machine configured to execute a predetermined work while traveling autonomously,
- the autonomous traveling work machine comprising:
- a power reception coil;
- a first detector configured to detect a magnetic field generated by a power supply coil disposed in a charging station;
- and
- a first traveling controller configured to cause the autonomous traveling work machine to travel toward the charging station, based on a detection result of the first detector.
A charging station configured to supply power to an autonomous traveling work machine configured to execute a predetermined work while traveling autonomously, the charging station comprising
- a power supply coil,
- wherein a magnetic field generated by the power supply coil is detected by the autonomous traveling work machine, and based on the detected magnetic field, the autonomous traveling work machine is caused to travel toward the charging station.
