20130063085 | RESONANCE-TYPE NON-CONTACT POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM - Movable body equipment is provided with: a secondary-side resonance coil, which receives power from a primary-side resonance coil of power supply equipment; a rectifier, which rectifies the power received by the secondary-side resonance coil; and a secondary battery, to which to which the power rectified by the rectifier is supplied. A resonance-type non-contact power supply system is provided with: state of charge detection units, which detect the state of charge of the secondary battery; and an impedance estimation unit, which estimates an impedance estimation value for the secondary battery on the basis of the state of charge of the secondary battery. When the absolute value of the difference between the impedance estimation value and the current impedance value of the secondary battery exceeds a threshold, a determination unit determines that a foreign body is present between the primary-side resonance coil and the secondary-side resonance coil. | 03-14-2013 |
20130119781 | RESONANCE TYPE NON-CONTACT POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM - A power supplying equipment includes an alternating-current power source and a primary-side resonance coil. A movable body equipment includes a secondary-side resonance coil a rectifier, and a secondary battery to which the power rectified by the rectifier is supplied. The power supplying equipment further includes a primary matching unit provided between the alternating-current power source and the primary-side resonance coil, and a primary matching unit adjusting section for adjusting the primary matching unit. The primary matching unit adjusting section adjusts the primary matching unit only at times other than when detecting the distance between the primary-side resonance coil and the secondary-side resonance coil. | 05-16-2013 |
20130119930 | RESONANCE TYPE NON-CONTACT POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM - A resonance type non-contact power supply system that supplies power through a primary resonance coil and a secondary resonance coil. The resonance type non-contact power supply system includes power supplying equipment and movable body equipment. The power supplying equipment includes a primary coil unit, which is provided with the primary resonance coil, and a distance detector, which detects the distance between the primary and secondary resonance coils. The movable body equipment includes a switch and a terminal resistor. When the distance detector detects the distance, the switch connects the terminal resistor to the secondary coil unit and disconnects a rectifier and power storage device from a secondary coil unit. When the movable body equipment receives power, the switch connects the rectifier and the power storage device to the secondary coil unit and disconnects the terminal resistor from the secondary coil unit. | 05-16-2013 |
