Induction power transfer for auxiliary vehicle lights

摘要

An induction power transfer system for auxiliary vehicle lights is provided. A transmitting power module coupled to an interior surface of a windshield includes a transmitting induction coil. The transmitting induction coil generates an oscillating magnetic field in response to receiving an electric current. A receiving power module is coupled to an exterior surface of the windshield of the vehicle. The receiving power module is substantially aligned with the transmitting power module coupled to the interior surface of the windshield. The receiving power module includes a receiving induction coil. The receiving induction coil generates an alternating electric current in response to a presence of the oscillating magnetic field. An auxiliary vehicle LED light coupled to an exterior surface of the vehicle is connected to the receiving power module by an insulated conductor. The receiving power module supplies the alternating electric current to the auxiliary vehicle LED light.

主权项

1. A vehicle induction power transfer system for auxiliary vehicle lights, the vehicle induction power transfer system comprising:
a transmitting power module coupled to an interior surface of a windshield of a vehicle; a transmitting induction coil associated with the transmitting power module; a power source connected to the transmitting power module, wherein the power source supplies a first electric current to the transmitting power module; an oscillating magnetic field generated by the transmitting induction coil in response to the first electric current passing through the transmitting induction coil; a receiving power module coupled to an exterior surface of the windshield of the vehicle and substantially aligned with the transmitting power module coupled to the interior surface of the windshield; a receiving induction coil associated with the receiving power module, wherein the receiving induction coil generates a second electric current in response to a presence of the oscillating magnetic field; an auxiliary LED light coupled to an exterior surface of the vehicle; and an insulated conductor connecting the auxiliary LED light to the receiving power module, wherein the receiving power module supplies the second electric current to the auxiliary LED light, wherein the second electric current supplied by the receiving power module powers the auxiliary LED light coupled to the exterior surface of the vehicle.
