Electricity supply device and electricity reception device
View Patent ↗The electricity supply device ( 100 ) supplies electricity using electromagnetic force and opposes an external electricity reception coil ( 153 a ). An electricity supply coil ( 102 a ) has a hollow section ( 102 b ), and has a spiral shape. A reader ( 103 ) has an antenna disposed in the projected space resulting from projecting the hollow section ( 102 b ) in the central axial direction of the electricity supply coil ( 102 a ) and at a position more separated from the electricity reception coil ( 153 a ) than the opposing surface that opposes the electricity reception coil ( 153 a ) and is of the electricity supply coil ( 102 a ), and ID data transmitted by an RF tag ( 154 ) installed proximally to the electricity reception coil ( 153 a ) is received and detected by the antenna. An electricity-supply-side control unit ( 104 ) determines the presence/absence of an electricity reception coil ( 153 a ) on the basis of the ID data detected by the reader ( 103 ).
1. A power supply apparatus comprising:
a power supply coil having a ring shape and configured to transmit power to a power receiving coil located externally; and
an antenna configured to receive a signal, wherein:
the power supply apparatus transmits the power to the power receiving coil based on the signal received by the antenna,
the antenna overlaps a hollow portion of the ring shape of the power supply coil in a central axis direction of the power supply coil which is controlled to transmit the power based on the signal received by the antenna,
at least a part of the antenna is located out of the hollow portion of the ring shape of the power supply coil which is controlled to transmit the power based on the signal received by the antenna, and
the at least part of the antenna is farther away from the power receiving coil than the power supply coil which is controlled to transmit the power based on the signal received by the antenna.
2. The power supply apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
the power supply coil is configured to face the power receiving coil.
3. The power supply apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
the antenna is capable of receiving the signal as an electromagnetic wave.
4. The power supply apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein
the electromagnetic wave is transmitted by a radio tag.
5. The power supply apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein
the radio tag is located near the power receiving coil.
6. The power supply apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a control section which controls to transmit the power based on the signal received by the antenna.
7. The power supply apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein
the control section determines the presence or absence of the power receiving coil based on the signal.
8. The power supply apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
the power supply coil is a spiral coil.
9. The power supply apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein
the control section permits the power supply coil to transmit power to the power receiving coil when the control section determines the presence of the power receiving coil.
10. The power supply apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising
an electromagnetic wave absorber on an inner wall of the hollow portion of the ring shape of the power supply coil.
11. The power supply apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising
a magnetic body disposed between the power supply coil and the antenna.
12. The power supply apparatus according to claim 1 , which faces the power receiving coil mounted in a vehicle, and which supplies power using an electromagnetic force.
13. A power transmitting system comprising a power supply apparatus and a power receiving apparatus,
wherein the power supply apparatus comprises
a power supply coil having a ring shape and configured to transmit power to a power receiving coil located externally; and
an antenna configured to receive a signal, wherein
the power supply apparatus transmits the power to the power receiving coil based on the signal received by the antenna,
the antenna overlaps a hollow portion of the ring shape of the power supply coil in a central axis direction of the power supply coil which is controlled to transmit the power based on the signal received by the antenna,
at least a part of the antenna is located out of the hollow portion of the ring shape of the power supply coil which is controlled to transmit the power based on the signal received by the antenna, and
the at least part of the antenna is farther away from the power receiving coil than the power supply coil which is controlled to transmit the power based on the signal received by the antenna.
14. The power transmitting system according to claim 13 ,
wherein the power receiving apparatus comprises:
a power receiving coil having a ring shape; and
a radio tag disposed inside a hollow portion of the ring shape of the power receiving coil.
15. The power transmitting system according to claim 14 , further comprising
an electromagnetic wave absorber on an inner wall of the hollow portion of the ring shape of the power receiving coil.
16. The power transmitting system according to claim 14 , wherein,
the antenna is disposed on a central axis of the ring shape of the power supply coil, and
