REMOVABLE INDUCTIVE POWER TRANSFER PAD

摘要

An apparatus (100) for a removable inductive power pad includes a frame (102) with an opening in a top surface, and includes a removable pad (106) with an embedded inductive power transfer ("IPT") pad (108) shaped to transmit power to a receiver pad positioned above the removable pad (106). The removable pad (106) is sized to conform to the opening (110). The opening (110) of the frame (102) is shaped to support the removable pad (106). The removable pad (106) and the opening (110) are sized so that a top surface of the removable pad (106) is substantially level with the top surface of the frame (102). When the frame (102) is located in a roadway, the frame (102) and removable pad (106) mounted in the opening (110) of the frame (102) are rated for vehicular traffic to drive over the frame (102) and/or the removable pad (106) without damage.
