Abstract
A non-contact charging system includes: a power transmission coil; a living body detector; a vehicle; a power reception coil; an auxiliary battery; and a control device. Further, the control device adjust a detection range of the living body detector, and starts the charging control in a case where the control device determines that the charging control is not executed and that a state in which there is no living body detected within the detection range continues for a predetermined time or more in a state where the vehicle is stopped immediately above the power transmission coil.
Claims5
A non-contact charging system comprising:
- a power transmission coil installed on ground in parking space;
- a living body detector that detects a living body near the power transmission coil;
- a vehicle that is allowed to be stopped in the parking space;
- a power reception coil that is mounted on the vehicle and that receives power transmitted from the power transmission coil in a non-contact manner;
- an auxiliary battery that is mounted on the vehicle and that stores power received by the power reception coil;
- and
- a control device that executes charging control of supplying, to the auxiliary battery, power transmitted from the power transmission coil to the power reception coil in a non-contact manner,
- wherein the control device is configured to
- adjust a detection range of the living body detector, and,
- start the charging control in a case where the control device determines that the charging control is not executed and that a state in which there is no living body detected within the detection range continues for a predetermined time or more in a state where the vehicle is stopped immediately above the power transmission coil.
