Abstract
Description
本願は、2013年6月4日に日本に出願された特願2013-118199号に基づき優先権を主張し、その内容をここに援用する。
〔第1実施形態〕
初めに第1実施形態について説明する。本発明の第1実施形態に係る非接触給電システムは、図1に示すように、給電装置Sと受電装置Rによって構成されている。また、図示するように、給電装置Sは、整流回路1、チョッパ回路(電圧変換器)2、インバータ回路3、共振回路4、通信部5、電圧電流計測部6、キャパシタンス・インダクタンス演算部7、スイッチング演算部8及びスイッチング制御部9から構成されている。一方、受電装置Rは、共振回路11、整流回路12、電圧電流計測部13、通信部14及び制御部15から構成されている。
本願の非接触給電システムは、移動体が停車スペースに進入すると、移動体に対する給電を開始する。例えば、給電装置Sの通信部5は通信要求信号を一定周期で連続的に発信する。一方、受電装置Rの通信部14は、移動体が停車スペースに進入すると、上記通信要求信号の受信が可能になるので、通信要求信号に対して回答信号を通信部5に送信する。そして、通信部5は、この回答信号を受信すると、回答信号の受信をスイッチング制御部9に通知する。この結果、スイッチング制御部9は、移動体が給電可能エリア内に進入してきたことを判断(認識)する。
次に、第2実施形態に係る非接触給電システムについて説明する。
本願の第2実施形態に係る電力変換装置は、図2に示すように、電圧電流計測部6に代わって給電温度計測部21を備え、電圧電流計測部13に代わって受電温度計測部16を備え、キャパシタンス・インダクタンス演算部7及び制御部15の動作が異なる点において、上記第1実施形態と相違する。これ以外の構成要素については第1実施形態と同様である。よって、第2実施形態において第1実施形態と同様の構成要素については説明を省略する。
まず、スイッチング制御部9は、移動体が給電可能エリア内に進入してきたと判断すると、チョッパ回路2やインバータ回路3の駆動を開始する。この結果、給電装置Sの共振回路4から受電装置Rの共振回路11への非接触給電が開始される。
(1)上記実施形態は、給電装置S及び受電装置Rの一方あるいは両方の特定のコンデンサ及び特定のコイルの端子間電圧及び電流、あるいは温度に基づいて特定のコンデンサ及び特定のコイルのキャパシタンス及びインダクタンスを算出し、キャパシタンス及びインダクタンスに基づいて最大給電効率となるインバータ回路3のスイッチング周波数を求めたが、本発明はこれに限定されない。例えば、特定のコンデンサ及び特定のコイルの端子間電圧及び電流、あるいは温度と、最大給電効率となるインバータ回路3のスイッチング周波数とを対応付けたデータテーブルを予め記憶させ、端子間電圧及び電流、あるいは温度の検出値に対応する最大給電効率となるインバータ回路3のスイッチング周波数をデータテーブルから取得してもよい。
(5)上記実施形態では、磁界共鳴方式に準拠した非接触給電システムについて説明したが、本発明はこれに限定されない。本発明は、電磁誘導方式にも適用可能である。また、上記実施形態では、負荷をバッテリBとしたが、本発明における負荷は、バッテリBに限定されるものではなく、種々の蓄電デバイス及び電力の供給を受けて所定の機能を発現する各種機器を包含する。
(6)上記実施形態において、電圧変換器はチョッパ回路であるとして説明したが、電圧変換器は、チョッパ回路を用いた非絶縁型のDC-DCコンバータに限定されるものではない。例えば、トランス等を用いた絶縁型のDC-DCコンバータで電圧変換器を実現することもできる。
(7)上記実施形態において、給電装置Sへ電力を供給する電源は、交流の商用電源であるとして説明したが、本発明はこの態様に限定されるものではない。例えば、給電装置Sは、DC電源(直流電源)から電力を受けることができる。DC電源は、直流電圧を出力できるため、DC電源を採用する態様では、交流電圧を直流電圧に変換するための整流回路を省略することができる。DC電源からの出力を所望の直流電圧に変換する場合には、チョッパ回路が利用されるが、DC電源の出力自体が所望の電圧である場合には、チョッパ回路も省略することができる。
