VEHICLE WIRELESS CHARGING STRUCTURE
First Claim
1. A vehicle having a wireless charging structure comprising:
- a vehicle body structure;
a first track structure fixedly attached to the vehicle body structure, the first track structure defining a first axis;
a first shield plate movably coupled to the first track structure for movement along the first axis;
a first positioning device coupled to vehicle body structure and being configured to move and position the first shield plate along the first track structure;
a second track structure fixedly attached to a second side of the first shield plate opposite the first side of the first shield plate, the second track structure defining a second axis transverse to the first axis;
a second shield plate having a first side mounted to the second track structure for movement along the second track structure;
a second positioning device coupled to the first shield plate, and being configured to move and position the second shield plate along the second axis; and
a vehicle-side induction coil fixedly attached to a second side of the second shield plate opposite the first side of the second shield plate, the vehicle-side induction coil being configured to generate electric current in response reception of electromagnetic radiation.

Abstract
An alignment assembly includes a first track, a first shield, a first positioning device, a second track, a second shield, a second positioning device and an induction coil. The first track defines a first axis. The first shield is movable along the first track and the first axis. The first positioning device is configured to move the first shield along the first track. The second track is fixedly attached to a second side of the first shield opposite the first side of the first shield. The second track defines a second axis transverse to the first axis. The second shield has a first side mounted to the second track for movement along the second track. The second positioning device is coupled to the first shield, and is configured to move the second shield along the second track. The vehicle-side induction coil is fixedly attached to the second shield.
