Wireless charging system for, e.g. electric car, has presence detector that is provided on vehicle, such that monitoring region of presence detector borders energy sink provided on vehicle

摘要

The system has control unit (14) to transferring energy from infrastructure-side energy source (12) to energy sink (13) provided on vehicle (11). A presence detector (15) coupled to control unit, provides monitoring signal to control unit when object (22) is recognized in monitoring region. The control unit stops energy transfer to energy sink, in receipt of monitoring signal. The presence detector is provided on vehicle, and the monitoring region borders the energy sink.
