Patent number: 12115872Abstract: A contactless power supply system is provided for supplying electric power to a vehicle in a contactless manner during traveling of the vehicle. The contactless power supply system includes a plurality of primary coils installed along a traveling direction in a road and a secondary coil mounted to the vehicle. Each of the primary coils is a single-phase coil with the secondary coil being a multi-phase coil, or is a multi-phase coil with the secondary coil being a single-phase coil.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2020Date of Patent: October 15, 2024Assignee: DENSO CORPORATIONInventors: Eisuke Takahashi, Nobuhisa Yamaguchi, Koji Mazaki, Shimpei Takita, Hayato Sumiya, Masaki Kanesaki, Takuya Kiguchi, Kazuhiro Uda, Mitsuru Shibanuma, Kazuyoshi Obayashi, Tomoyuki Fujikawa, Masaya Takahashi, Yusei Nakayashiki

Patent number: 12095287Abstract: A dynamic wireless power transfer system performs, through a plurality of primary coils installed along a traveling direction of a road and a secondary coil mounted in a vehicle, power transfer to the vehicle while the vehicle is traveling. The secondary coil is an M-phase coil including M coils, M denoting an integer which is two or higher. The M coils each include a coil end extending along a front-rear direction of the vehicle and a main coil portion extending along a width direction of the vehicle, the M coils each being configured such that a magnetic resistance of a magnetic path where a magnetic flux of the coil end passes is higher than a magnetic resistance of a magnetic path where a magnetic flux of the main coil portion passes.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2021Date of Patent: September 17, 2024Assignee: DENSO CORPORATIONInventors: Takuya Kiguchi, Nobuhisa Yamaguchi, Eisuke Takahashi, Hayato Sumiya, Tomoyuki Fujikawa, Koji Mazaki, Shimpei Takita, Masaki Kanesaki, Masaya Takahashi, Kazuhiro Uda, Yusei Nakayashiki, Mitsuru Shibanuma, Kazuyoshi Obayashi

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: 20210143684Abstract: A contactless power feeding apparatus includes a plurality of primary coils mounted on a road and a power feed controller which uses a portion of the primary coils as a power transmitting coil to achieve delivery of electrical power from the power transmitting coil to a secondary coil mounted in a vehicle. The power feed controller uses a selected primary coil that is one of the primary coils other than the power transmitting coil to decrease a leakage of magnetic flux arising from excitation of the power transmitting coil. Instead of the selected primary coil, the secondary coil may be used to reduce the leakage of magnetic flux.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 15, 2021Publication date: May 13, 2021Applicant: DENSO CORPORATIONInventors: Hayato SUMIYA, Eisuke TAKAHASHI, Nobuhisa YAMAGUCHI, Kazuyoshi OBAYASHI, Shimpei TAKITA, Koji MAZAKI, Mitsuru SHIBANUMA, Masaki KANESAKI, Takuya KIGUCHI, Kazuhiro UDA

Patent number: 10090752Abstract: A power conversion device has a main switch connected to a positive electrode side line of a battery, at least one semiconductor power element connected between the main switch and a negative electrode voltage line, and an auxiliary circuit having an auxiliary switch, a resonance reactor and an auxiliary diode connected parallel to the main switch. The device further has a voltage detection part which detects an external side voltage of the main switch and a control circuit part performing a switching control of the main switch and the auxiliary switch based on the detection result of the voltage detection part. During the turned-off state of the main switch, the control circuit part turns off the auxiliary switch before the external side voltage of the main switch reaches an input voltage of the main switch. This external side voltage starts to increase when the auxiliary switch is turned on.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2017Date of Patent: October 2, 2018Assignee: DENSO CORPORATIONInventors: Masaya Takahashi, Eisuke Takahashi, Takuya Kiguchi
