WIRELESS POWER TRANSFER SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18579502 titled 'WIRELESS POWER TRANSFER SYSTEM
The abstract describes a wireless power transfer system that includes power transmitters arranged in a hoistway in line with the moving direction of a car, and a power receiver installed on the car. Electric power is transmitted from the power transmitters to the power receiver without contact, and then supplied to a load device.
- Power transmitters are arranged in a hoistway in line with the moving direction of a car.
- Power receiver is installed on the car.
- Electric power is transmitted without contact from the power transmitters to the power receiver.
- Power received by the power receiver is supplied to a load device.
- Power receiver has larger dimensions in the moving direction of the car compared to each power transmitter.
Potential Applications: - Elevators - Automated guided vehicles - Robotics - Electric vehicles - Industrial automation
Problems Solved: - Eliminates the need for physical connectors for power transfer - Enables efficient and convenient power transfer in dynamic environments - Reduces maintenance and wear on physical connectors
Benefits: - Increased efficiency in power transfer - Enhanced safety by eliminating physical connectors - Reduced maintenance costs - Improved reliability in power transmission
Commercial Applications: Title: "Wireless Power Transfer System for Elevators and Automated Vehicles" This technology can be applied in the elevator industry, automated guided vehicles, robotics, electric vehicles, and industrial automation, leading to more efficient and reliable power transfer solutions.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the wireless power transfer system improve efficiency in power transmission? 2. What are the key advantages of using a power receiver with larger dimensions in the moving direction of the car?
Original Abstract Submitted
A wireless power transfer system includes a plurality of power transmitters and a power receiver. The plurality of power transmitters are arranged in a hoistway in line with a moving direction of a car. The power receiver is installed on the car. A power transmitting device supplies electric power to the plurality of power transmitters and the plurality of power transmitters transmits electric power to the power receiver without contact. The electric power received by a power receiving device from the power receiver is supplied to a load device. A dimension of the power receiver in the moving direction of the car is larger than a dimension of each of the plurality of power transmitters in the moving direction of the car.
