Contactless power transmitting device, contactless power receiving device, and contactless power transfer system
First Claim
1. A contactless power transmitting device comprising:
- a power transmitting unit configured to contactlessly transmit electric power to a power receiving unit installed in a power receiving device, the power receiving unit including a coil; and
a guide unit configured to change a guide position of the power receiving device on the basis of a type of the coil included in the power receiving unit, the power receiving device being guided to the guide position at the time when the power receiving device receives electric power, whereinthe guide unit is configured to, in the case where the type of the coil and a type of the power transmitting unit are the same, set a position of the power receiving unit, at which a center position of the power receiving unit coincides with a center position of the power transmitting unit, for the guide position, andthe guide unit is configured to, in the case where the type of the coil and the type of the power transmitting unit are different from each other, set a position of the power receiving unit, at which the center position of the power receiving unit deviates from the center position of the power transmitting unit, for the guide position.

Abstract
A power transmitting device includes: a power transmitting unit being able to contactlessly transmit electric power to a power receiving unit of a power receiving device; and a guide unit changing a guide position of the power receiving device at power reception of the power receiving device on the basis of a type of the power receiving unit. The guide unit may when the types of the power receiving and transmitting units are the same, set a position of the power receiving unit, at which center positions of the power receiving and transmitting units coincide with each other, for the guide position, and, when the types of the power receiving and transmitting units are different, set a position of the power receiving unit, at which the center positions of the power receiving and transmitting units deviate from each other, for the guide position.
