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

Publication number: 20220032778Abstract: In an in-motion power supply system with a plurality of power supply segments to supply power to a vehicle, a vehicle position detection unit detects a position of the vehicle relative to each segment. An electrical characteristic acquisition unit acquires electrical characteristics in the segment involved in power transfer, and an abnormality determination unit uses the electrical characteristics to determine whether there is an abnormality in the segment involved in power transfer.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 19, 2021Publication date: February 3, 2022Applicant: DENSO CORPORATIONInventors: Masaki KANESAKI, Mitsuru SHIBANUMA, Hayato SUMIYA, Takuya KIGUCHI, Eisuke TAKAHASHI, Shinpei TAKITA, Masaya TAKAHASHI, Kazuhiro UDA, Yuusei NAKAYASHIKI, Kazuyoshi OBAYASHI, Nobuhisa YAMAGUCHI

Patent number: 10899234Abstract: A power source ECU transmits a first message for inquiring whether or not a vehicle is parked at a location provided with a power transmission device, after full-scale power transmission is completed. A vehicle ECU transmits a second message for informing that the vehicle is parked, when it receives the first message. When the power source ECU does not receive the second message for informing that the vehicle is parked after transmitting the first message, the power source ECU determines that the vehicle is not parked at the location provided with the power transmission device.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2018Date of Patent: January 26, 2021Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Shinji Ichikawa, Satoshi Taniguchi, Shinpei Takita

Patent number: 9944193Abstract: A vehicle includes an electric power reception unit, a motive power generation apparatus generating on an output shaft a drive force for moving the vehicle, and a vehicle ECU controlling the motive power generation apparatus. The motive power generation apparatus includes a parking gear provided on the output shaft, a parking pole having a protrusion to be fit in a groove of the parking gear, and a drive unit outputting the drive force. The vehicle ECU controls the drive unit so that in a case where the electric power reception unit is located within an area in which electric power can be received from the electric power transmission apparatus and where the motive power generation apparatus has been set to a parking range, the vehicle is moved in a direction that causes the electric power reception unit to approach the electric power transmission apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2014Date of Patent: April 17, 2018Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Taiyo Uejima, Shinji Ichikawa, Toru Nakamura, Satoshi Taniguchi, Shinpei Takita
