Wireless power transmission device and wireless power transmission method
First Claim
1. A wireless power transmission device which wirelessly transmits electric power between a power-transmitting coil provided in a fixed portion and a power-receiving coil provided in a movable portion, comprising:
- a power supplier which supplies the electric power to the power-transmitting coil;
a controller which controls the power supplier; and
a measurer which measures a relative position of the power-receiving coil with respect to the power-transmitting coil,wherein the controller includes a duty table which stores a duty of the electric power, the duty being set based on the relative position such that an amount of induced current flowing through a metal member is decreased, and the metal member being provided in a predetermined position of one or both of the fixed portion and the movable portion, andwherein the controller is configured to adjust a duty of the electric power based on the relative position, with reference to the duty table.

Abstract
The wireless power transmission device is a wireless power transmission device which wirelessly transmits electric power between a power-transmitting coil and a power-receiving coil, and which includes: a metal member; a power supply unit which supplies the electric power to the power-transmitting coil; a measurement unit which measures a relative position of the power-receiving coil with respect to the power-transmitting coil; and a control unit which controls the power supply unit. The control unit adjusts the electric power based on the relative position measured by the measurement unit, so that an amount of induced current flowing through the metal member is decreased.

4. A wireless power transmission method of wirelessly transmitting electric power between a power-transmitting coil provided in a fixed portion and a power-receiving coil provided in a movable portion, the wireless power transmission method for a wireless power transmission device including a metal member, comprising:
-
a first step of supplying the electric power to the power-transmitting coil; a second step of measuring a relative position of the power-receiving coil with respect to the power-transmitting coil; and a third step of adjusting a duty of the electric power based on the measured relative position, with reference to a duty table which stores a duty of the electric power, the duty stored in the duty table being set based on the relative position such that an amount of induced current flowing through the metal member is decreased, the metal member being provided in a predetermined position of one or both of the fixed portion and the movable portion.
