    摘要: An electrodynamic apparatus includes a first arm extending in a first direction, a second arm supported by the first arm, a linear actuator that moves the second arm along the first direction with respect to the first arm, a support extending in a second direction that is different from the first direction and supporting the first arm, and a rotating mechanism that rotates the support about an axis of rotation parallel to the second direction. The first arm includes a power transmission antenna. The second arm includes a power reception antenna. The power transmission antenna supplies electric power to the power reception antenna wirelessly. In rotating the support, the linear actuator moves the center of gravity of the second arm to the axis of rotation first, and then the rotating mechanism rotates the support.

    摘要: An electrode unit is for use in a power transmitting device or a power receiving device of a wireless power transmission system based on an electric field coupling method. The electrode unit includes; a first group of electrodes including a plurality of first electrodes to which a first voltage is applied when power is transmitted; and a second group of electrodes including a plurality of second electrodes to which a second voltage is applied when power is transmitted, wherein the second voltage has a phase that is different from a phase of the first voltage by a value greater than 90 degrees and less than 270 degrees. The plurality of first electrodes and the plurality of second electrodes are arranged in a first direction along an electrode installation surface. At least two of the plurality of first electrodes and at least two of the plurality of second electrodes are arranged alternating with each other in the first direction.

    摘要: A relay apparatus in a wireless power transmission system includes a relay power reception antenna that receives power transmission alternating current power from a power transmission power transmission antenna, a relay rectifier that converts the power transmission alternating current power into relay direct current power, a relay inverter circuit that converts the relay direct current power into relay alternating current power, and a relay power transmission antenna that wirelessly transmits the relay alternating current power. When transmitting data to the power transmission apparatus through amplitude modulation, the relay apparatus varies amplitude of voltage of the power transmission alternating current power received by the relay power reception antenna between a first amplitude and a second amplitude and performs control for eliminating a difference between a third amplitude of the relay alternating current power and a fourth amplitude of the relay alternating current power.

    摘要: A control method for a power transmitting device is provided, the power transmitting device including a power transmitting antenna, which transmits AC power wirelessly to the power receiving antenna of a power receiving device, and an oscillator. The method includes supplying pulse signals that control first and second switching element groups to the oscillator, and changing a phase shift amount between a first pulse signal and a second pulse signal. The method also includes causing the oscillator to change the voltage of the AC power output and to set an initial value of the phase shift amount. The method further includes causing the oscillator to output preliminary AC power of a voltage to reduce the phase shift amount from the initial value, fixing the phase shift amount, and causing the oscillator to output the AC power while maintaining the voltage corresponding to the fixed phase shift amount.

    摘要: A mobile vehicle wirelessly receives AC power from a power transmission device including first and second power transmission electrodes arranged along a road surface. The mobile vehicle includes: a sensor that detects an obstacle located at least either on a route of the mobile vehicle or under the mobile vehicle; a first power reception electrode that forms electric field coupling with the first power transmission electrode when facing the first power transmission electrode; a second power reception electrode that forms electric field coupling with the second power transmission electrode when facing the second power transmission electrode; an actuator that moves at least the part of the first power reception electrode in a direction of gravity; and a control circuit that controls the actuator based on a result of detection by the sensor to avoid contact between the first power reception electrode and the obstacle.
