Publication number: 20240106276Abstract: A wireless power supply system includes a plurality of power transmission units that receives and supplies power to a power receiving unit via the power transmission coil in a resonance state, and a switching control unit that switches a state of a first power transmission unit to a resonance state when the magnitude of the magnetic flux generated in a first power transmission coil of the first power transmission unit, which is one of the plurality of power transmission units, is greater than a predetermined threshold value, and switches to a non-resonance state when the magnitude is less than the threshold value. The threshold is set as a magnitude that exceeds the magnetic flux generated in the first power transmission coil due to coupling between the first power transmission coil and a second power transmission coil of a second power transmission unit, which is adjacent to first power transmission coil.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Applicant: DENSO CORPORATIONInventors: Mitsuru SHIBANUMA, Eisuke TAKAHASHI, Masaya TAKAHASHI, Nobuhisa YAMAGUCHI, Kazuyuki KATO

Publication number: 20240097496Abstract: A power supply system includes: a power transmission circuit provided on the ground side; a high frequency generation circuit that supplies high-frequency electric power to the power transmission circuit; a measurement unit that measures a physical quantity corresponding to the degree of coupling between the power transmission circuit and a power reception circuit provided in a vehicle; and a control unit. When the degree of coupling is determined, based on the measured physical quantity, to be lower than a predetermined degree, the control unit sets the impedance of the power transmission circuit to a first impedance and thereby sets the power transmission circuit to a non-resonant state. In contrast, when the degree of coupling is determined to be not lower than the predetermined degree, the control unit sets the impedance of the power transmission circuit to a second impedance and thereby sets the power transmission circuit to a resonant state.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Applicant: DENSO CORPORATIONInventors: Yusei NAKAYASHIKI, Masaya TAKAHASHI, Nobuhisa YAMAGUCHI, Eisuke TAKAHASHI

Patent number: 11926227Abstract: In a moving-object power supply system, a control unit selects, as a power transmission segment, one of segments included in at least one power transmission section. The control unit supplies, through a power supply circuit, power to the power transmission segment to thereby generate a magnetic field through a power transmission coil of the power transmission segment. The control unit determines, based on an ascertained first electrical characteristic of the power transmission segment and an ascertained second electrical characteristic of at least one power non-transmission segment, whether there is a malfunction in each of the power transmission segment and the at least one power non-transmission segment.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2021Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: DENSO CORPORATIONInventors: Kouji Mazaki, Nobuhisa Yamaguchi, Eisuke Takahashi, Mitsuru Shibanuma, Shinpei Takita, Masaya Takahashi, Hayato Sumiya, Masaki Kanesaki, Takuya Kiguchi, Kazuhiro Uda, Yuusei Nakayashiki
