WIRELESS POWER TRANSFER SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240253504 titled 'WIRELESS POWER TRANSFER SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a wireless power transfer system where power is transferred from a supply device in a road to a vehicle using power receiving devices in the vehicle. A power transfer ECU in the vehicle sets a power transfer pattern for each segment of power transfer devices based on state information from the vehicle, enabling efficient power transfer.
- The system involves a wireless power transfer setup between a road supply device and a vehicle.
- The vehicle has multiple power receiving devices to receive power from the supply device.
- A power transfer ECU in the vehicle sets a power transfer pattern for each segment of power transfer devices based on vehicle state information.
- The power transfer pattern is customized for each power transfer device to optimize power transfer efficiency.
- The power transfer devices in the vehicle transfer power according to the set power transfer pattern.
Potential Applications: This technology can be applied in electric vehicles, autonomous vehicles, and smart road infrastructure to enable efficient and convenient wireless charging.
Problems Solved: 1. Eliminates the need for physical connections for charging electric vehicles. 2. Optimizes power transfer efficiency based on vehicle state information. 3. Enables seamless and automated power transfer between the road and the vehicle.
Benefits: 1. Convenient and efficient wireless charging for electric vehicles. 2. Reduces the need for manual intervention in the charging process. 3. Enhances the overall user experience of electric vehicle owners.
Commercial Applications: The technology can be utilized in electric vehicle charging stations, smart city infrastructure, and transportation systems to offer wireless charging solutions for electric vehicles, improving the sustainability and usability of electric transportation.
Questions about Wireless Power Transfer System: 1. How does the power transfer ECU optimize power transfer efficiency in the vehicle? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing wireless power transfer systems on a larger scale?
Original Abstract Submitted
in a wireless power transfer system configured to contactlessly transfer power from a supply device in a road to a vehicle, the vehicle includes a plurality of power receiving devices configured to receive power from the supply device, and a power transfer ecu is configured to set, based on state information from the vehicle, a power transfer pattern by which each of a plurality of segments transfers power, the power transfer pattern being set for each power transfer device. the power transfer ecu is configured to cause each of the power transfer devices to transfer power based on the power transfer pattern.
