  • Patent number: 10014711
    Abstract: In a case where a mobile terminal charging device stops charging due to a decrease of charging efficiency, the cause thereof is, for example, that the mobile terminal is slightly moved on the upper surface of the installation plate, due to the vibration and inertia resulting from the driving of the automobile. In such a case, the mobile terminal charging device moves the charging coil to a portion corresponding to the position of the mobile terminal which is detected by the detector, using a drive unit, and thereafter resumes charging, in a condition that the position of the mobile terminal which is detected by the detector and the position of the charging coil are separated from each other by the second set distance or more.

  • Patent number: 9853484
    Abstract: The present invention pertains to a mobile terminal charging device, and a vehicle using the same, and the objective of the present invention is to reduce user discomfort. In order to achieve this objective, the present invention moves a charging coil (8) from a charging position to a standby position by means of motors (28, 33) when charging is complete, or when charging is discontinued. The speed when the charging coil (8) is thus moved from the charging position to the standby position is lower than when the charging coil (8) is moved from the standby position to the charging position, and operating noise at the time can be minimised.

  • Publication number: 20170117740
    Abstract: In a mobile terminal charging device, when a charging coil is not being enegized, a control unit alternately performs foreign object detection by driving some of a plurality of foreign object detection coils followed by charging coil location detection by driving a plurality of position detection coils. When the charging coil is being energized, foreign object detection is performed using a large-diameter detection coil and a small-diameter coil with which the charging coil is fitted.

  • Publication number: 20150229156
    Abstract: This wireless charging device is configured such that after charging of a portable terminal by a charging coil (8) is completed, a controller (10) drives motors (28, 33) to move the charging coil (8) to a position where the center of the charging coil deviates from the centers of multiple position detection coils (14Ba, 14Bb, 14Bc, 14Bd). As a result, echo signals from the charging coil (8) produced from pulse signals from the position detection coils (14Ba, 14Bb, 14Bc, 14Bd) become sufficiently weakened to less than a determination level, so erroneous operations can be prevented.

  • Patent number: 5033011
    Abstract: Level data indicative of levels of the surface of a dump of refuse in pit are stored for each unit area into level data memory. An angle of an inclination of the refuse dump is obtained by using the level data in a unit area and the level data in unit areas adjacent to it. The inclination angle is compared with an angle of repose of the refuse dump. When the inclination angle is larger than the angle of repose, it is judged that the level data is improper. The level data as judged to be improper is altered so that the inclination angle is below the repose angle. The crane is controlled on the basis of the level data stored in the level data memory.

  • Patent number: 4846695
    Abstract: In a bus bar connector, a ball bearing (20) having an inner wheel (21), an outer wheel (22) and plural balls (23) is provided between a guide rod (7) and a guide hole (3b) of the bus bar (3). When the center of gravity of the bus bar (3) is moved by electromagnetic force due to accidental overcurrent, a torque generated by friction force acting between the guide rod (7) and the inner wheel (22) rotates only the inner wheel (22) and is not conveyed to the bus bar (3).

  • Patent number: 4612495
    Abstract: A generator circuitry for connecting a generator to or disconnecting the same from a bus connected to a power supply. The circuitry comprising a first disconnector, a breaker and a second disconnector connected in series with one another between the bus and the generator further includes a detecting circuit to detect the generator output and an operating circuit to prohibit an action of opening the second disconnector during detection of the generator output by the detecting circuit. Since the disconnector is opened in the state where the generator output is not detected, the disconnector is released from the duty to interrupt the charge current flowing to the interelectrode capacitance of the breaker, whereby the use of a small-sized disconnector is rendered possible.
