  • WIRELESS POWER RECEIVING SYSTEM, MOBILE OBJECT, AND VEHICLE WHEEL
    Publication number: 20220266702
    Abstract: A wireless power receiving system includes: a power receiving device having a power receiving coil configured to receive electric power supplied wirelessly from a power transmission coil of a power transmission device installed on a road surface, at least part of the power receiving coil being contained in a vehicle wheel; and in-vehicle devices installed in a mobile object, the in-vehicle devices being energizably connected to the power receiving device. The power receiving device transmits the received electric power to the in-vehicle devices.

  • In-wheel motor system
    Patent number: 10421351
    Abstract: An in-wheel motor system can drive an in-wheel motor stably, and also allows power feeding from the road surface, even when transmission and reception coils are misaligned. An in-wheel motor system (1) includes a power transmitter (100) that utilizes a resonance phenomenon using a magnetic field. The power transmitter (100) transmits power (P) wirelessly from the vehicle body to an in-wheel motor (10) mounted in a wheel. The in-wheel motor system (1) may also include a communication interface (110) that communicates between the vehicle body and the wheel, and the communication interface (110) may transmit a control signal (CTL) for driving the in-wheel motor.
