First Claim
1. A power receiving device for a vehicle, the power receiving device comprising:
- a power receiving unit including a power receiving coil, the power receiving unit being configured to move between a retracted position and a power receiving position, the power receiving unit being configured to contactlessly receive electric power from a power transmitting unit provided outside the vehicle in a state where the power receiving unit is arranged at the power receiving position; and
at least one detector configured to detect a strength of a magnetic field or electric field that is formed by the power transmitting unit, the detector being provided on a body of the vehicle separately from the power receiving unit, the detector being arranged in a first position or a second position, the first position being contained in a projected space that is formed when an image of the power receiving unit arranged at the power receiving position is projected upward in a vertical direction, the second position being located around the power receiving unit when the power receiving unit arranged at the power receiving position is viewed in plan in the vertical direction,wherein a winding axis of the power receiving coil extends in a second direction that intersects with a first direction that is a direction in which the power receiving coil faces the power transmitting unit,wherein the detector is arranged on a vehicle rear side with respect to a fuel tank when the detector is viewed in plan in the vertical direction.

Abstract
A power receiving device for a vehicle includes a power receiving unit and at least one detector. The power receiving unit is configured to contactlessly receive electric power from a power transmitting unit. The detector is configured to detect a strength of a magnetic field or electric field that is formed by the power transmitting unit. The detector is provided on a body of the vehicle separately from the power receiving unit. The detector is arranged in a first position or a second position. The first position is contained in a projected space that is formed when an image of the power receiving unit arranged at the power receiving position is projected upward in a vertical direction. The second position is located around the power receiving unit when the power receiving unit arranged at the power receiving position is viewed in plan in the vertical direction.
