POWER TRANSMISSION DEVICE, POWER TRANSMISSION METHOD OF POWER TRANSMISSION DEVICE, AND NON-TRANSITORY RECORDING MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18333389 titled 'POWER TRANSMISSION DEVICE, POWER TRANSMISSION METHOD OF POWER TRANSMISSION DEVICE, AND NON-TRANSITORY RECORDING MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a power transmission device that wirelessly transmits power to a power receiving device using multiple power transmission coils. It also includes a detection unit that can detect objects using these power transmission coils and a reception unit that can receive signals from the power receiving device.
- The power transmission device has multiple power transmission coils.
- It wirelessly transmits power to a power receiving device.
- The detection unit can detect objects using the power transmission coils.
- The reception unit can receive signals from the power receiving device.
- If the power receiving device requests to stop power transmission, the detection unit continues to detect objects using the power transmission coil that was used for power transmission.
Potential Applications
- Wireless charging systems for electronic devices.
- Autonomous vehicles that can detect obstacles while being charged wirelessly.
- Industrial automation systems that require wireless power transmission and object detection.
Problems Solved
- The device allows for simultaneous power transmission and object detection using the same power transmission coils.
- It eliminates the need for separate detection systems, reducing complexity and cost.
- The detection unit can continue to detect objects even when power transmission is stopped.
Benefits
- Simplifies the design and implementation of wireless power transmission systems.
- Reduces the number of components required for power transmission and object detection.
- Enables efficient use of power transmission coils for both power transfer and object detection.
Original Abstract Submitted
Provided is a power transmission device including: a plurality of power transmission coils; a power transmission unit configured to wirelessly transmit power to a power receiving device using at least one of the plurality of power transmission coils; a detection unit configured to perform a process of detecting an object using at least one of the plurality of power transmission coils; and a reception unit configured to receive a signal from the power receiving device, wherein, in a case where the reception unit receives a request to stop power transmission from the power receiving device, the detection unit performs, in a period of stop of a power transmission, a process of detecting an object using a power transmission coil which was used for the power transmission.
