前記無線送電装置と、
蓄電デバイスの電力で動作する負荷装置を備えた少なくとも1つの無線受電装置とを備える。
図1~図11を参照して、第1の実施形態に係る無線電力伝送システムについて説明する。
図1は、第1の実施形態に係る無線電力伝送システムを含むシステムの構成を示す概略図である。図1の無線電力伝送システムは、無線送電装置1及び少なくとも1つの無線受電装置2-1~2-3を含み、無線送電装置1から無線受電装置2-1~2-3に電力を無線伝送する。
図1の例では、送電装置1及び受電装置2-1~2-3は、制御装置3、製造装置4、及びベルトコンベア5を備えた工場に設けられる。ベルトコンベア5は、パレット6及びワーク7を搬送する。パレット6及びワーク7は、ベルトコンベア5によって、予め決められた時間において予め決められた位置p1~p3に到着しているように移動される。位置p1~p3において、ワーク7に対して予め決められた作業のイベントがそれぞれ実行される。受電装置2-1~2-3は、位置p1~p3の近傍にそれぞれ設けられ、位置p1~p3において実行されるイベントにそれぞれ関連付けられる。各受電装置2-1~2-3のセンサ23は、このイベントに関連付けられた予め決められた物理量を測定する。送電装置1は、測定された物理量を各受電装置2-1~2-3から収集し、制御装置3に送る。制御装置3は、測定された物理量に基づいて製造装置4の動作を制御する。制御装置3は、例えば、プログラマブルロジックコントローラである。製造装置4は、ワーク7に対して予め決められた作業(例えば、溶接などの加工工程)のイベントを実行する。
図1の送電装置1及び受電装置2を工場に設置するときと、工場を実際に稼働させているときとでは、送電装置1及び受電装置2の周囲の環境がさまざまに異なる。例えば、設置時には、製造装置4及びベルトコンベア5が停止している一方、稼働時には、製造装置4及びベルトコンベア5が動作し、送電装置1及び受電装置2の近くをパレット6及びワーク7が通過する。
(1)受電レベルの推定(すなわち、テスト信号の送受信)と、

(3)センサ23を制御する制御信号及び測定された物理量の送受信と

図10は、第1の実施形態の変形例に係る無線電力伝送システムの送電装置1Aの構成を示す概略図である。送電装置1Aは、図2のアンテナ装置ANT1、アンテナ制御回路14、及びサーキュレータ16に代えて、アンテナ装置ANT11,ANT12及びアンテナ制御回路14Aを備える。送信及び受信のために1つのアンテナ装置ANT1を共用するのではなく、別個のアンテナ装置ANT11,ANT12を用いてもよい。アンテナ制御回路14Aは、送電制御回路10の制御下で、アンテナ装置ANT11,ANT12の指向性を制御する。
第1の実施形態に係る無線電力伝送システムによれば、受電レベルがしきい値Th1より小さい状態から受電レベルがしきい値Th1以上である状態に遷移したとき、待機時間Twだけ待機してから、センサ23を動作させる制御信号を送信する。このとき、蓄電デバイス22の充電電圧はしきい値Th2以上であると考えられるので、センサ23が安定して動作可能な電力をセンサ23に供給することができる。これにより、電力不足によるセンサ23の誤動作が生じにくいように、送電装置1から受電装置2に電力を無線伝送することができる。
図12~図18を参照して、第2の実施形態に係る無線電力伝送システムについて説明する。
第2の実施形態に係る無線電力伝送システムは、第1の実施形態に係る無線電力伝送システムと同様に構成される。従って、その構成についての繰り返しの説明は省略する。
図12は、第2の実施形態に係る無線電力伝送システムの受電装置2-1~2-3に割り当てられる時間スロットの初期状態を示すタイミングチャートである。図12の例では、受電装置2-1に時間スロットT1(1),T1(2)が割り当てられ、受電装置2-2に時間スロットT2(1),T2(2)が割り当てられ、受電装置2-3に時間スロットT3(1),T3(2)が割り当てられる。図12の例では、受電装置2-2に割り当てられた時間スロットT2(2)を含む時間区間において、受電装置2-2の受電レベルがしきい値Th1よりも小さくなっている。
第2の実施形態に係る無線電力伝送システムによれば、各受電装置2に割り当てられた時間スロットの長さを変更することにより、電力不足によるセンサ23の誤動作が生じにくいように、送電装置1から受電装置2に電力を無線伝送することができる。
受電装置2のアンテナ装置ANT2もまた、可変な指向性を有してもよい。
