Method for controlling power transmitting device in wireless power transmission system and power transmitting device
A device includes a power transmitting coil that outputs power to a power receiving coil included in a mobile object, a case that includes the power transmitting coil inside thereof, a mobile member arranged on the case at a position overlapping the power transmitting coil, and a circuit that controls the power transmitting coil and the mobile member. The circuit starts to perform an operation to move the mobile member from a position overlapping the power transmitting coil to a position not overlapping the power transmitting coil before the power transmitting coil and the power receiving coil are aligned with each other, and causes the power transmitting coil to output the power to the power receiving coil.
Non-contact power feeding device
A non-contact power feeding device includes multiple power feeding elements that are disposed spatially separated from one another in a movement direction, an AC power supply that supplies AC power to the power feeding elements, multiple power receiving elements that are provided in a moving body and that receive AC power in a non-contact manner, and a power receiving circuit that converts the AC power received by the power receiving elements and that outputs to an electrical load. When a length of the power feeding elements in the movement direction is LT, a separation distance between the power feeding elements is DT, a length of the power receiving elements in the movement direction is LR, and a separation distance between the power receiving elements is DR, the relationship DT≤DR and the relationship (2×LR+DR)≤LT are satisfied.
