The power transmission device includes a light emitting unit provided on an upper surface. The vehicle includes a camera provided on the back surface of the vehicle and a control unit that controls the vehicle.

そして、受電装置を送電装置に位置合わせする際には、カメラは送電装置の発光部を撮像する。車両の制御部は、カメラが撮像した発光部の位置に基づいて、受電装置が送電装置上に位置するように車両を誘導する。   And when aligning a power receiving apparatus with a power transmission apparatus, a camera images the light emission part of a power transmission apparatus. The control unit of the vehicle guides the vehicle so that the power receiving device is positioned on the power transmission device based on the position of the light emitting unit captured by the camera.

しかし、受電装置が車両底面の中央部付近に配置された車両においては、位置合わせの過程に送電装置が車両の下面に入り込むことで車両に搭載されたカメラで送電装置の発光部を検知することができなくなる。   However, in a vehicle in which the power receiving device is arranged near the center of the bottom surface of the vehicle, the power transmitting device enters the lower surface of the vehicle during the alignment process, and the light emitting unit of the power transmitting device is detected by the camera mounted on the vehicle. Can not be.

そこで、受電装置の平坦面状の下面に位置合わせ用のマークを設け、送電装置にカメラを配置することが考えられる。この場合には、位置合わせ時には、送電装置のカメラが受電装置のマークを撮像し、車両に搭載された制御部がカメラが撮像した画像情報に基づいて、受電装置が送電装置の上方に位置するように車両を誘導する。   In view of this, it is conceivable that a mark for alignment is provided on the lower surface of the flat surface of the power receiving device, and the camera is disposed on the power transmitting device. In this case, at the time of alignment, the camera of the power transmission device images the mark of the power reception device, and the control unit mounted on the vehicle is positioned above the power transmission device based on the image information captured by the camera. To guide the vehicle.

しかし、受電装置の平坦面状の下面に位置合わせ用マークを配置すると、送電装置と受電装置とが離れた状態ではカメラはマークを斜めに撮像することになり、カメラはマークを良好に撮像することができない。その結果、制御部は、撮像した画像からマーカを検出することが困難となり、受電装置の位置を正確に把握することが困難になる。   However, if the alignment mark is arranged on the flat bottom surface of the power receiving device, the camera images the mark obliquely when the power transmitting device and the power receiving device are separated from each other, and the camera images the mark well. I can't. As a result, it is difficult for the control unit to detect the marker from the captured image, and it is difficult to accurately grasp the position of the power receiving apparatus.

本開示は、上記のような課題を鑑みてなされたものであって、その目的は、位置合わせ用のマークが車両の下面側に配置された車両において、送電装置と受電装置とが離れた状態であっても、送電装置に設けられたカメラが位置合わせ用のマークを良好に撮像することができる車両を提供することである。   The present disclosure has been made in view of the above-described problems, and the purpose thereof is a state in which a power transmission device and a power reception device are separated from each other in a vehicle in which an alignment mark is arranged on the lower surface side of the vehicle. Even so, it is an object of the present invention to provide a vehicle in which a camera provided in a power transmission device can satisfactorily image a mark for alignment.

本開示の車両は、車両の底面側に設けられ、外部に設けられた送電装置から非接触で電力を受電する受電装置と、車両の底面側に設けられた傾斜部と、傾斜部に設けられると共に、送電装置に設けられた撮像装置によって撮像されるマークと備える。上記傾斜部は、下方から上方に向かうにつれて車両の底面の外周縁部側に近づくように形成されたマーク配置面を含む。上記マークはマーク配置面に設けられる。   The vehicle according to the present disclosure is provided on the bottom surface side of the vehicle, and receives power from a power transmission device provided outside in a non-contact manner, an inclined portion provided on the bottom surface side of the vehicle, and an inclined portion. Along with a mark imaged by an imaging device provided in the power transmission device. The inclined portion includes a mark arrangement surface formed so as to approach the outer peripheral edge side of the bottom surface of the vehicle as it goes from below to above. The mark is provided on the mark arrangement surface.

上記の車両によれば、車両が送電装置から離れた位置から送電装置に近づく過程において、送電装置と受電装置とが離れた状態においてマーク載置面に設けられたマークの画角が小さくなることを抑制することができる。そのため、カメラがマークを撮像したマーク画像が大きくくずれた状態になることを抑制することができる。   According to the above-described vehicle, the angle of view of the mark provided on the mark placement surface is reduced when the vehicle is approaching the power transmission device from a position away from the power transmission device in a state where the power transmission device and the power reception device are separated from each other. Can be suppressed. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the mark image obtained by capturing the mark with the camera from being greatly displaced.

本開示に係る車両によれば、位置合わせ用のマークが車両の下面側に配置された車両において、送電装置と受電装置とが離れた状態であっても、送電装置に設けられたカメラが位置合わせ用のマークを良好に撮像することができる。   According to the vehicle according to the present disclosure, in the vehicle in which the alignment mark is arranged on the lower surface side of the vehicle, the camera provided in the power transmission device is positioned even if the power transmission device and the power reception device are separated from each other. The alignment mark can be imaged satisfactorily.

図1から図10を用いて、本実施の形態に係る受電装置について説明する。なお、同一または実質的に同一の構成については同一の符号を付して重複した説明を省略する場合がある。   A power receiving device according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. In addition, about the same or substantially the same structure, the same code | symbol may be attached | subjected and the overlapping description may be abbreviate | omitted.

図1は、本実施の形態1に係る受電装置10を備えた車両1と、送電装置11とを模式的に示す側面図である。この図1に示すように、車両1は、車両1の底面13を形成するフロアパネル14と、底面13に設けられたバッテリ12と、受電装置10と、傾斜部15,16と、アンテナ18と、ECU19とを含む。受電装置10は受電コイル20を含む。   FIG. 1 is a side view schematically showing a vehicle 1 including a power receiving device 10 according to the first embodiment and a power transmission device 11. As shown in FIG. 1, the vehicle 1 includes a floor panel 14 that forms a bottom surface 13 of the vehicle 1, a battery 12 provided on the bottom surface 13, a power receiving device 10, inclined portions 15 and 16, an antenna 18, and the like. , ECU19. The power receiving device 10 includes a power receiving coil 20.

送電装置11は、送電コイル30と、送電コイル30を収容するケース31と、ケース31の上面に設けられたカメラ32と、アンテナ33とを含む。   The power transmission device 11 includes a power transmission coil 30, a case 31 that houses the power transmission coil 30, a camera 32 provided on the upper surface of the case 31, and an antenna 33.

受電装置10が送電装置11から非接触で電力を受電する際には、受電装置10を送電装置11の上方に位置するように車両1を移動させる。   When the power receiving device 10 receives power from the power transmitting device 11 in a non-contact manner, the vehicle 1 is moved so that the power receiving device 10 is positioned above the power transmitting device 11.

車両1が送電装置11に向けて移動する際には、まず、カメラ32はカメラ32の周囲を撮像する。カメラ32のレンズには、たとえば、魚眼レンズが採用されている。アンテナ33は、カメラ32が撮像した撮像データをアンテナ18に送信し、ECU19はアンテナ18から撮像データを取得する。ECU19は、この撮像データに魚眼補正を施し、補正後の撮像データに基づいて受電装置10と送電装置11との相対的な位置関係について算出する。   When the vehicle 1 moves toward the power transmission device 11, first, the camera 32 captures an image around the camera 32. As the lens of the camera 32, for example, a fisheye lens is employed. The antenna 33 transmits the image data captured by the camera 32 to the antenna 18, and the ECU 19 acquires the image data from the antenna 18. The ECU 19 performs fish-eye correction on the imaging data, and calculates the relative positional relationship between the power receiving device 10 and the power transmission device 11 based on the corrected imaging data.

車両1の底面13側には受電装置10の位置を示すマークが設けられており、ECU19はカメラ32が撮像した撮像データからマークを検出して、受電装置10および送電装置11の相対的な位置関係を算出している。   A mark indicating the position of the power receiving device 10 is provided on the bottom surface 13 side of the vehicle 1, and the ECU 19 detects the mark from the image data captured by the camera 32, and the relative positions of the power receiving device 10 and the power transmitting device 11. The relationship is calculated.

しかし、たとえば、受電装置10の下面のみにマークが設けられている場合には、受電装置10が送電装置11から離れているときには、カメラ32がマークを撮像する画角が小さくなる。そのため、カメラ32が当該マークを良好に撮像することができず、ECU19が補正後の撮像データからマークを検出することが困難となる。その結果、受電装置10と送電装置11との相対的な位置関係を把握することができないおそれがある。   However, for example, when the mark is provided only on the lower surface of the power receiving device 10, when the power receiving device 10 is separated from the power transmitting device 11, the angle of view at which the camera 32 captures the mark is reduced. Therefore, the camera 32 cannot capture the mark well, and it is difficult for the ECU 19 to detect the mark from the corrected imaging data. As a result, there is a possibility that the relative positional relationship between the power receiving device 10 and the power transmitting device 11 cannot be grasped.

そこで、本実施の形態に係る車両1においては、受電装置10が送電装置11から離れた状態であっても、受電装置10の位置を示すマークをカメラ32が良好に撮像することができるよう構成されている。   Therefore, the vehicle 1 according to the present embodiment is configured such that the camera 32 can satisfactorily capture the mark indicating the position of the power receiving device 10 even when the power receiving device 10 is away from the power transmitting device 11. Has been.

次に、図2などを用いて、受電装置10などの構成について詳細に説明すると共に、上記マークについて説明する。   Next, the configuration of the power receiving device 10 and the like will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

直線マーク38は、マーク配置面47の下端辺52に沿って延びるように設けられている。複数の方形マーク37は直線マーク38に間隔をあけて配置されている。各方形マーク37の幅W3は同じであり、各方形マーク37間の間隔W4も一定である。そして、幅W3/間隔W4で算出される値を第3マーク27のパターン比S2とする。   The straight mark 38 is provided so as to extend along the lower end side 52 of the mark arrangement surface 47. The plurality of square marks 37 are arranged at intervals with respect to the straight marks 38. The width W3 of each square mark 37 is the same, and the interval W4 between the square marks 37 is also constant. A value calculated by the width W3 / the interval W4 is set as the pattern ratio S2 of the third mark 27.

次に、受電装置10が送電装置11から離れた状態から受電装置10が送電装置11の上方に位置するように車両1が移動する過程において、カメラ32から視たときの第1マーク25、第2マーク26および第3マーク27の見え方について説明する。なお、本実施の形態においては、車両1は後進して受電装置10を送電装置11に位置合わせしている。   Next, in a process in which the vehicle 1 moves so that the power receiving device 10 is positioned above the power transmitting device 11 from a state where the power receiving device 10 is separated from the power transmitting device 11, the first mark 25 when viewed from the camera 32, The appearance of the second mark 26 and the third mark 27 will be described. In the present embodiment, the vehicle 1 moves backward and aligns the power receiving device 10 with the power transmitting device 11.

図6は、位置合わせ開始時の受電装置10および送電装置11の相対的な位置関係を示す側面図である。この図6に示すように、受電装置10、傾斜部15および傾斜部16は送電装置11よりも車両1の前方側に位置している。マーク配置面47の撮像角度を撮像角度B1とすると、この図6に示す状態においては、撮像角度B1は角度bと等しく、カメラ32はマーク配置面47に対して垂直に撮像している。この際、カメラ32が第1マーク25を撮像するときの撮像画角を撮像画角α1とし、第3マーク27を撮像するときの撮像画角を撮像画角β1とする。   FIG. 6 is a side view showing a relative positional relationship between the power receiving device 10 and the power transmitting device 11 at the start of alignment. As shown in FIG. 6, the power receiving device 10, the inclined portion 15, and the inclined portion 16 are located on the front side of the vehicle 1 with respect to the power transmitting device 11. Assuming that the imaging angle of the mark arrangement surface 47 is the imaging angle B1, in the state shown in FIG. 6, the imaging angle B1 is equal to the angle b, and the camera 32 is imaging perpendicular to the mark arrangement surface 47. At this time, an imaging field angle when the camera 32 captures the first mark 25 is an imaging field angle α1, and an imaging field angle when the third mark 27 is captured is an imaging field angle β1.

「撮像角度」とは、撮像対象物(第3マーク27)の中心およびカメラ32のレンズ中心を通る仮想線と、カメラ32のレンズの光軸L1とのなす角度である。「撮像画角」とは、撮像対象物(第3マーク27)の上端およびカメラ32のレンズ中心を通る仮想線と、撮像対象物(第3マーク27)の下端およびカメラ32のレンズ中心を通る仮想線とがなす角度である。   The “imaging angle” is an angle formed by the imaginary line passing through the center of the imaging object (third mark 27) and the lens center of the camera 32 and the optical axis L1 of the lens of the camera 32. The “imaging angle of view” refers to an imaginary line passing through the upper end of the imaging target (third mark 27) and the lens center of the camera 32, and a lower end of the imaging target (third mark 27) and the lens center of the camera 32. This is the angle formed by the imaginary line.

図7は、図6に示す状態から車両1が後進した状態を示し、傾斜部16がカメラ32の真上に位置している。この図7において、カメラ32が第1マーク25を撮像するときの撮像画角を撮像画角α2とし、第3マーク27を撮像するときの撮像画角を撮像画角β2とする。   FIG. 7 illustrates a state in which the vehicle 1 has moved backward from the state illustrated in FIG. 6, and the inclined portion 16 is positioned directly above the camera 32. In FIG. 7, an imaging field angle when the camera 32 captures the first mark 25 is an imaging field angle α2, and an imaging field angle when the third mark 27 is captured is an imaging field angle β2.

図8は、図7に示す状態から車両1が後進して、受電装置10が送電装置11の上方に位置した状態を示す。この図8において、カメラ32が第1マーク25を撮像するときの撮像画角を撮像画角α3とし、第3マーク27を撮像するときの撮像画角を撮像画角β3とする。   FIG. 8 shows a state where the vehicle 1 moves backward from the state shown in FIG. 7 and the power receiving device 10 is positioned above the power transmitting device 11. In FIG. 8, an imaging field angle when the camera 32 captures the first mark 25 is an imaging field angle α3, and an imaging field angle when the third mark 27 is captured is an imaging field angle β3.

図9は、図8に示す状態から車両1が後進して、受電装置10が送電装置11よりも後方側に位置した状態を示す。この際、カメラ32が第1マーク25を撮像するときの撮像画角を撮像画角α4とし、第2マーク26を撮像するときの撮像画角を撮像画角γ4とする。   FIG. 9 shows a state in which the vehicle 1 moves backward from the state shown in FIG. 8 and the power receiving device 10 is located on the rear side of the power transmitting device 11. At this time, an imaging field angle when the camera 32 captures the first mark 25 is an imaging field angle α4, and an imaging field angle when the second mark 26 is captured is an imaging field angle γ4.

ここで、図6、図7および図8に示すように、撮像画角β1は、撮像画角β2,β3よりも大きく、撮像画角β2は、撮像画角β3よりも大きい。そのため、図7に示すように、受電装置10が送電装置11から離れた状態や図8に示すように、受電装置10が送電装置11に対して位置ずれした状態であっても、カメラ32は第3マーク27を良好に撮像することができる。   Here, as shown in FIGS. 6, 7, and 8, the imaging field angle β1 is larger than the imaging field angles β2 and β3, and the imaging field angle β2 is larger than the imaging field angle β3. Therefore, even if the power receiving device 10 is separated from the power transmitting device 11 as shown in FIG. 7 or the power receiving device 10 is displaced with respect to the power transmitting device 11 as shown in FIG. The third mark 27 can be imaged satisfactorily.

図10は、図7に示す状態におけるカメラ32が撮像した画像に魚眼補正を施した補正画像70を示す図である。   FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating a corrected image 70 obtained by performing fisheye correction on an image captured by the camera 32 in the state illustrated in FIG. 7.

ここで、方形マーク37は、傾斜したマーク配置面47に設けられているため、カメラ32が撮像した画像を魚眼補正したとしても、変形した画像となる。具体的には、カメラ32に近い位置から離れるにつれて長さが一様に短くなるようになり、上端辺53は下端辺52よりも短くなる。これに伴い、補正画像70においては、方形マーク37の幅W5および方形マーク37間の間隔W6も、下端辺52から上端辺53に向かうと共に小さくなる。その一方で、幅W5および間隔W6は、下端辺52から上端辺53に向かうにつれて同一比率で小さくなるため、幅W5/間隔W6で示されるパターン比S3は、パターン比S2と等しくなる。   Here, since the square mark 37 is provided on the inclined mark arrangement surface 47, even if the image picked up by the camera 32 is corrected by the fish-eye, a deformed image is obtained. Specifically, as the distance from the position close to the camera 32 increases, the length is uniformly shortened, and the upper end side 53 is shorter than the lower end side 52. Accordingly, in the corrected image 70, the width W5 of the square mark 37 and the interval W6 between the square marks 37 also decrease from the lower end side 52 toward the upper end side 53. On the other hand, since the width W5 and the interval W6 decrease at the same ratio from the lower end side 52 toward the upper end side 53, the pattern ratio S3 indicated by the width W5 / interval W6 is equal to the pattern ratio S2.

そこで、ECU19は、色相などが、パターン比S2と同じとなる部分を検知することで、補正画像70から第3マーク27を検出することができる。これにより、ECU19は、仮に、第1マーク25を良好に検出することができなかったとしても、第3マーク27に基づいて受電装置10の位置を把握することができる。   Therefore, the ECU 19 can detect the third mark 27 from the corrected image 70 by detecting a portion where the hue and the like are the same as the pattern ratio S2. Thereby, even if the ECU 19 cannot detect the first mark 25 satisfactorily, the ECU 19 can grasp the position of the power receiving device 10 based on the third mark 27.

そして、図9に示すように、受電装置10がカメラ32の上方に位置するときには、撮像画角α3も大きくなり、カメラ32は第1マーク25を良好に撮像することが可能となる。これにより、ECU19は、第1マーク25に基づいて、受電装置10の位置を正確に把握することができる。   As shown in FIG. 9, when the power receiving device 10 is positioned above the camera 32, the imaging angle of view α <b> 3 is also increased, and the camera 32 can capture the first mark 25 satisfactorily. Thereby, the ECU 19 can accurately grasp the position of the power receiving device 10 based on the first mark 25.

なお、図9に示すように、受電装置10が送電装置11よりも車両1の後方側に位置ずれすると、マーク配置面42は、マーク配置面42に設けられた第2マーク26を良好に撮像することができる。これにより、ECU19は受電装置10の位置を正確に把握することができる。   As shown in FIG. 9, when the power receiving device 10 is displaced to the rear side of the vehicle 1 with respect to the power transmitting device 11, the mark arrangement surface 42 favorably captures the second mark 26 provided on the mark arrangement surface 42. can do. Thereby, ECU19 can grasp | ascertain the position of the power receiving apparatus 10 correctly.

本実施の形態においては、受電装置10、傾斜部15および傾斜部16はバッテリ12の下面に設けられているが、フロアパネル14の下面に設けるようにしてもよい。すなわち、受電装置10、傾斜部15および傾斜部16は車両1の下面側に設けられておればよい。なお、今回開示された実施の形態は全ての点で例示であって制限的なものではないと考えられるべきである。本開示の範囲は上記した説明ではなく特許請求の範囲によって示され、特許請求の範囲と均等の意味および範囲内での全ての変更が含まれることが意図される。   In the present embodiment, power reception device 10, inclined portion 15, and inclined portion 16 are provided on the lower surface of battery 12, but may be provided on the lower surface of floor panel 14.
