  • Publication number: 20160276872
    Abstract: To minimize excessively high output or increases in magnetic-flux leakage by controlling power feeding on the power-feeding side if an unforeseen situation occurs. This power-feeding device (100) feeds power to an external power-receiving device (150) in a contactless manner. A power-feeding coil (103) uses electromagnetic power to feed electrical power to a power-receiving coil (154) in the power-receiving device (150). While power is being fed from said power-feeding coil (103), a power-feeding-side control unit (107) determines the amount of displacement of the power-feeding coil (103) and, on the basis of the determined displacement amount, controls the amount of electrical power being fed.

  • Publication number: 20160052406
    Abstract: The purpose of the invention is to facilitate mounting of a power receiving coil on a vehicle and also extend the allowable range of the positional shift of the power receiving coil with respect to a power supplying coil to prevent a power supply efficiency from lowering. A power supplying device (100) uses electromagnetic force to supply power to a vehicle (130) having a power receiving coil (153a) and has a power supplying coil (103a) facing the power receiving coil (153a) and supplying power thereto. The power supplying coil (103a) has substantially the same shape as the power receiving coil (153a) and has a first length longer than a second length, said first length being the length in the right and left direction of the vehicle (130), said second length being the length in the front and rear direction of the vehicle (130).

  • Publication number: 20160043565
    Abstract: The electricity supply device (100) supplies electricity using electromagnetic force and opposes an external electricity reception coil (153a). An electricity supply coil (102a) has a hollow section (102b), and has a spiral shape. A reader (103) has an antenna disposed in the projected space resulting from projecting the hollow section (102b) in the central axial direction of the electricity supply coil (102a) and at a position more separated from the electricity reception coil (153a) than the opposing surface that opposes the electricity reception coil (153a) and is of the electricity supply coil (102a), and ID data transmitted by an RF tag (154) installed proximally to the electricity reception coil (153a) is received and detected by the antenna. An electricity-supply-side control unit (104) determines the presence/absence of an electricity reception coil (153a) on the basis of the ID data detected by the reader (103).
