  • Patent number: 9912196
    Abstract: A power receiving device that receives electric power output from a power transmission device includes a primary side coil and supplies electric power to a load according to the electric power. The power receiving device includes: an adjusting device that adjusts a value of a third current to be a predetermined value, the third current is generated from the second current and supplied to the load; a detecting device that detects the third current; and a variable capacitor coupled between the secondary side coil and the load. The variable capacitor ensures a changeable capacitance value. The adjusting device performs an adjustment based on a detection result by the detecting device. The variable capacitor is coupled in series with the secondary side coil and the load. The adjusting device includes a first adjusting device that increases the capacitance value and a second adjusting device that decreases the capacitance value.

  • Publication number: 20160268844
    Abstract: A power transmission device includes a power transmission circuit, a third coil, and a turning device. The power transmission circuit includes a second coil that supplies a first coil of a power receiving device with electric power. The third coil is magnetically coupled with the second coil. The turning device causes the third coil to turn about a turning shaft that intersects with a winding shaft of the second coil, to change an impedance of the power transmission circuit such that the electric power is cut off or supplied.

  • Publication number: 20160248275
    Abstract: The present invention is a power feeding system that includes a power transmission device and a power receiving device. The power transmission device includes a primary side coil. The power receiving device includes a secondary side coil. The power receiving device side performs an adjustment such that a value of a current supplied to a load becomes a predetermined value. Thus, the present invention solves a problem of a conventional power feeding system that, for example, an increase in a current value supplied to a load possibly damages the load. The power receiving device receives electric power output from the power transmission device that includes a primary side coil. The power receiving device is configured to supply electric power according to the electric power to the load. The power receiving device includes a secondary side coil and an adjusting device. In the secondary side coil, a second current is generated according to a first current which is supplied to the primary side coil.
