  • Publication number: 20240025281
    Abstract: A vehicle charging system includes a main body fixed to a floor part of a vehicle stop space, a slide body slidable in a first direction relative to the main body, a connector unit including arms and a connector to be connected to the vehicle to charge, a first cover that covers the arms from a side of the main body while pivoting in conjunction with pivoting of the arms, a second cover supported by the slide body and disposed on a side opposite to the side of the main body, and third covers supported by the slide body and disposed on both sides of the connector unit in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction. When the arms are erected, the second cover and the third covers extend upward in conjunction with the pivoting of the arms, thereby forming a frame that surrounds the arms.

  • 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.

  • Patent number: 11309125
    Abstract: A power transmission unit includes: a power transmission coil; a communication coupler that is formed in an annular shape about an axis X and arranged to surround the power transmission coil; and a shielding member that is formed in an annular shape about the axis X, and arranged between the power transmission coil and the communication coupler in an intersecting direction. The shielding member is arranged at a position along the intersecting direction to surround the power transmission coil, and shields magnetic force generated by the power transmission coil.

  • Patent number: 10872722
    Abstract: A shield member and a power transmission unit each include a shielding wall formed annularly about an axis so as to surround a power transmission coil at a position extending along an intersecting direction. The shielding wall shields a magnetic force generated by the power transmission coil. The shielding wall is formed such that a distance between wall faces facing each other in the intersecting direction is wider at a longer distance from a first side toward a second side in an axial direction.

  • Patent number: 10848342
    Abstract: A communication control system includes a first communication control device that includes a switching unit, a first gateway unit, a first power supply unit, and a first housing. The switching unit is provided in a vehicle, has a plurality of ports, and distributes a signal thereto. The first gateway unit has the CPU that is coupled to any one of the ports to convert a communication protocol of a signal. The first power supply unit supplies electric power to the switching unit and the first gateway unit. The first housing accommodates the switching unit, the first gateway unit, and the first power supply unit. The CPU can execute security processing for monitoring the switching unit.
