  • Publication number: 20220355693
    Abstract: A power supply device includes a moving unit that moves a power supply fitting body in an insertion-extraction direction, an up-down direction, and a lateral direction that is orthogonal to the insertion-extraction direction and the up-down direction, and a controller that controls the movement of the power supply fitting body by the moving unit. A position detection device moves in linkage with the movement of the power supply fitting body by the moving unit. A power reception fitting body includes first structures extending along the lateral direction and second structures related to a central position of the power reception fitting body in the lateral direction. The first structure and the second structure are formed protruding to one side of the up-down direction with respect to a ceiling surface. The distances between the second structures and the first structures in the insertion-extraction direction are set in advance.
