Power supplying system
First Claim
1. A power supplying system comprising:
- a plurality of power supplying coils to which electric power is supplied;
a power receiving coil to which electric power from the power supplying coils is transmitted by electromagnetic resonance with the power supplying coils when the power receiving coil is arranged opposite to and separated from the power supplying coils in a central axis direction thereof;
a position detecting device configured to detect one power supplying coil closest to the power receiving coil among the plurality of power supplying coils as an adjacent coil;
a first power supplying device configured to supply the electric power to only the adjacent coil detected by the position detecting device among the plurality of power supplying coils;
a second power supplying device configured to supply the electric power sequentially to the plurality of power supplying coils; and
a reflective wave detecting device configured to detect reflective waves of the electric power reflected by each of the power supplying coils,wherein the position detecting device detects the power supplying coil having the smallest reflective wave detected by the reflective wave detecting device as the adjacent coil among the plurality of power supplying coils while the second power supplying device supplies the electric power.

Abstract
An object of the present invention is to provide a power supplying system able to supply electric power with high efficiency from a power supplying section to a power receiving section by suppressing a reduction of transmission efficiency caused by a gap between central axes of a power supplying coil and a power receiving coil. Two power supplying helical coils are provided. When a power receiving coil is arranged opposite to the power supplying helical coils with a gap in an axis direction thereof, electric power is transmitted from the power supplying helical coils by electromagnetic resonance. A CPU detects one closest to the power receiving coil of two power supplying helical coils as an adjacent coil, and controls on/off of the switches so as to supply the electric power to only the adjacent coil.
