Abnormality detection system
First Claim
1. An abnormality detection system for detecting an abnormality of an object, comprising:
- a high-frequency power source for supplying power;
a primary coil for receiving the power supplied from the high-frequency power source;
a secondary coil mounted to the object in noncontact with the primary coil for receiving power supplied from the primary coil;
a battery charged by the power received by the secondary coil;
a resistor for receiving the power received by the secondary coil;
a moving contact for allowing the power received by the secondary coil to be supplied to the battery or the resistor; and
a controller for controlling operation of the moving contact, the controller being operable to detect the power received by the resistor through the secondary coil and also to detect a change in a magnitude of the detected power due to a change in distance between the primary coil and the secondary coil or a change in the magnitude of the detected power due to an obstacle present between the primary coil and the secondary coil, thereby to determine that an abnormality is present in the object.

Abstract
The abnormality detection system is provided for detecting an abnormality of an object. The abnormality detection system includes a high-frequency power source, a primary coil, a secondary coil and a controller. The high-frequency power source supplies power. The primary coil receives the power supplied from the high-frequency power source. The secondary coil is mounted to the object in noncontact with the primary coil for receiving power supplied from the primary coil. The controller is operable to detect the power received by the secondary coil and also to determine whether or not an abnormality is present in the object based on the detected power.
