  • Publication number: 20160236575
    Abstract: A conductor arrangement structure for a wireless power supply system which is equipped with a ground-side device (3) that is installed on a ground side and has a power-feeding coil (L1) and a vehicle-side device (2) that is installed on a vehicle (1) and has a power-receiving coil (L2) and in which electric power is supplied from the ground-side device (3) to the vehicle-side device (2) without contact, wherein grounding wires (23) are arranged between the power-feeding coil (L1) and the power-receiving coil (L2) so as to extend over a high-potential portion and a low-potential portion of an electric field that is generated when the power-feeding coil (L1) is excited.

  • Publication number: 20160159226
    Abstract: There is provided a vehicle-side charging apparatus disposed in a vehicle (2). The charging apparatus includes a power receiving coil (21) which receives power from a power transmitting coil (11) disposed in a power feeding apparatus (1) in a non-contacting manner through at least magnetic coupling, a battery (25) which is charged by reception power of the power receiving coil (21), and a vehicle-side controller (20) which controls battery charge of the battery and outputs a command of a power feeding amount to the power feeding apparatus. The power feeding amount is an amount of power feeding from the power transmitting coil to the power receiving coil. The vehicle-side controller (20) determines whether or not the vehicle (2) is to be started.

  • Publication number: 20160046194
    Abstract: A non-contact power supply system supplies power in a non-contact manner between a power transmission coil of a power supply device and a power reception coil of a vehicle. The power supply device side communication unit transmits identification information of the power supply device to the vehicle. The generation unit generates a power pattern list by allocating each piece of the identification information that is received by the vehicle side communication unit to several power patterns based on a prescribed rule. The vehicle side communication unit transmits the power pattern list to the power supply device. The controller causes power to be outputted from the power transmission coil to the power reception coil according to a power pattern which corresponds to the identification information. The determination unit determines establishment of a paired communication based on a comparison the detected power pattern and a power pattern.
