NON-CONTACT POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM AND POWER SUPPLY DEVICE

摘要

A power supply device supplies power from a power transmission coil to a power reception coil of a vehicle in a non-contact manner. The power supply device has a communication unit that receives a startup signal for activating the power supply device. A notification unit notifies a state of the power supply device. A controller controls the notification unit based on a detection result of a detection unit. The detection unit detects a non-contact power supply possible state, in which power can be supplied from the power transmission coil in a non-contact manner. The controller sets a notification state of the notification unit to a first notification state, when the non-contact power supply possible state is detected, and sets the notification state of the notification unit to a state that is different from the first notification state, when the non-contact power supply possible state is not detected.

主权项

1. A power supply device that supplies power from a power transmission coil to a power reception coil that is provided to a vehicle in a non-contact manner by at least a magnetic coupling, comprising:
a communication unit configured to receive a startup signal for activating the power supply device from the vehicle that is running by wireless communication; a notification unit configured to notify a state of the power supply device; a detection unit configured to detect the state of the power supply device based on the startup signal; and a controller configured to control the notification unit based on a detection result of the detection unit; the detection unit being configured to detect a non-contact power supply possible state, which represents a state in which the power can be supplied from the power transmission coil in a non-contact manner, the controller being configured to set a notification state of the notification unit to a first notification state, when the detection unit detects the non-contact power supply possible state, and to set the notification state of the notification unit to a state that is different from the first notification state, when the detection unit is not detecting the non-contact power supply possible state.
