Vehicle power-supplying system
First Claim
1. A vehicle power-supplying system that wirelessly supplies power to a vehicle including a power-receiving coil, the vehicle power-supplying system comprising:
- a power-supplying coil installed at a location at which the vehicle is able to stop;
at least two positioning marks with unique patterns whose positional relationship with the power-supplying coil is fixed;
a position-identifying means installed in the vehicle and configured to identify a positional relationship of the power-supplying coil with the vehicle by detecting the positioning mark; and
a control device configured to support positioning the vehicle to the power-supplying coil based on the positional relationship of the power-supplying coil identified by the position-identifying means,whereinthe location at which the vehicle is able to stop is a rectangular location,a first position mark of the at least two positioning marks is installed in the vicinity of the other short side of a vehicle entrance set to one of a pair of short sides of the rectangular location and a second position mark of the at least two positioning marks is installed at one of a pair of long sides of the rectangular location,the position-identifying means includes;
a first camera or a first laser sensor installed at a rear or front section of the vehicle; and
a second camera or a second laser sensor installed at a left and/or right section of the vehicle,the control device includes a central processing unit (CPU) and controls a touch panel and a speaker to support the positioning of the vehicle to the power-supplying coil by images and sounds, andwhen the power-supplying coil and the power-receiving coil face each other, the first camera or the first laser sensor, and the second camera or the second laser sensor detect the first and second positioning marks.

Abstract
A vehicle power-supplying system that wirelessly supply power to a vehicle includes a power-supplying coil installed at a location at which the vehicle can be stopped, first and second positioning posts whose positional relationship with the power-supplying coil is fixed, a position-identifying means installed in the vehicle and configured to identify a positional relationship of the power-supplying coil with the vehicle by detecting the first and second positioning posts, and a traveling support means configured to support traveling of the vehicle to the power-supplying coil based on the positional relationship with the power-supplying coil identified by the position-identifying means.
