NON-CONTACT POWER TRANSMITTING APPARATUS AND NON-CONTACT POWER TRANSMITTING SYSTEM

摘要

This non-contact power transmitting apparatus is connected to other apparatuses via couplers (21, 41) such that power can be bidirectionally transmitted to and from other apparatuses, and the non-contact power transmitting apparatus has conversion rectifiers (26, 44) that are connected to the couplers (21, 41), and control units (31, 51) that control the conversion rectifiers (26, 44). The control units (31, 51) are configured such that, in the cases of transmitting power from the couplers (21, 41) to other apparatuses, the control units control the conversion rectifiers (26, 44) to operate as converters that convert direct current power into alternating current power, said direct current power having been inputted to the conversion rectifiers (26, 44), and in the cases of receiving power from other apparatuses, the control units control the conversion rectifiers (26, 44) to operate as rectifiers that generate direct current power by rectifying alternating current power that has been supplied from the couplers (41, 21) to the conversion rectifiers (44, 26).
