    摘要: In a wireless power supply apparatus, a first unit electrically connected to a power supply and a second unit electrically connected to an electric load. Power transmission is performed wirelessly between the first and second units using a magnetic resonance phenomenon. Each of the units has a resonant amplifier circuit provided with switching means driven by a drive signal, a resonant coil to which a high-frequency signal generated by the resonant amplifier circuit is supplied such that the resonant coil functions as a resonant inductor on the resonant amplifier circuit, and electric storage means electrically connected to the resonant amplifier circuit so as to be capable of charging and discharging power. The second unit includes current detecting means for detecting a current flowing through the storage means, and phase control means for controlling a phase of the drive signal for the switching means based on the detected current.

    摘要: A wireless power supply apparatus using magnetic resonance is provided for a linear motion type robot. In the apparatus, a high-frequency signal for foreign matter detection is generated. This signal is different in wavelength and frequency from a high-frequency signal for transmitting power between a power transmission coil and a power reception coil. The wavelength is wavelength λ and the frequency is frequency f. The power transmission coil serves as an apparent antenna of which the long side is set to λ/2. At least either of a wavelength λx or a resonance frequency fx of a resonance wave attributed to the resonance in the antenna is detected when the high-frequency signal is supplied to the antenna. Whether or not foreign matter is present on the power transmission coil is detected based on the wavelength λx or the resonance frequency fx.

    摘要: A direct drive type system such as a direct drive type robot is provided. This system includes a rail member, a movable member guided by the rail member and movable along the rail member, and an electric motor to drive the movable member. The system includes a transmission coil and a reception coil. The transmission coil has plural transmission coil segments which are planar coils and arranged on and along the rail member. High-frequency power is supplied to the transmission coil from a power source. The reception coil is arranged on the movable member to be opposed to the transmission coil and configured to an area faced with each of the transmission coil segments, wherein the area is smaller than that of each transmission coil segment. The reception coil receives power from the transmission coil without contact by a magnetic resonance. The received power is supplied to the motor.
