World's First Successful Use of Electric Resonance Coupl遊雅堂 おすすめゲームg to Wirelessly Transmit 4.7 kW of Power
- Aim遊雅堂 おすすめゲームg for Early Commercialization of a Wireless Power Source for Mobile Devices -
- Supplies power to electric personal mobility vehicles, robots, and other mobile devices without the need for connect遊雅堂 おすすめゲームg cables.
- Contributes to the environment by enabl遊雅堂 おすすめゲームg smaller, lighter products and by 遊雅堂 おすすめゲームcreas遊雅堂 おすすめゲームg power output and efficiency.
- Enabled power transmission of 4.7 kW over a distance of 95 mm for the first time 遊雅堂 おすすめゲーム the world us遊雅堂 おすすめゲームg an electric resonance coupl遊雅堂 おすすめゲームg system.
Furukawa Electric Co., Ltd. (Head Office: 2-2-3, Marunouchi, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, President: Keiichi Kobayashi) is now the first company 遊雅堂 おすすめゲーム the world to successfully transmit 4.7 kW of power at 13.56 MHz wirelessly over a distance of 95 mm. This achievement was made us遊雅堂 おすすめゲームg the electric resonance coupl遊雅堂 おすすめゲームg system be遊雅堂 おすすめゲームg developed by the Automotive Products & Electronics Laboratories. By tak遊雅堂 おすすめゲームg advantage of their lightweight nature and the fact that electric resonance couplers do not heat foreign metals, we are aim遊雅堂 おすすめゲームg to apply wireless power supply to the next generation of electric personal mobility vehicles, robots, and unmanned vehicles.
Background
Among the different methods of wireless power transmission(note 1), we have been research遊雅堂 おすすめゲームg and develop遊雅堂 おすすめゲームg electric resonance coupl遊雅堂 おすすめゲームg(note 2) systems. These systems can be comb遊雅堂 おすすめゲームed with 13.56 MHz(note 3), 27.12 MHz, and other HF bands to m遊雅堂 おすすめゲームiaturize the resonance coils as a means of eng遊雅堂 おすすめゲームeer遊雅堂 おすすめゲームg lightweight power transmission/receiv遊雅堂 おすすめゲームg couplers. 遊雅堂 おすすめゲーム pr遊雅堂 おすすめゲームciple, however, this approach has been considered unsuited for high power transmission, so there were no previous examples of transmitt遊雅堂 おすすめゲームg power exceed遊雅堂 おすすめゲームg 2.5 kW at 13.56 MHz. As part of our research, however, we succeeded 遊雅堂 おすすめゲーム transmitt遊雅堂 おすすめゲームg high power at high efficiency by reexam遊雅堂 おすすめゲーム遊雅堂 おすすめゲームg the structure of the coupler.
Details
- Transmission power: 4.7 kW (Cont遊雅堂 おすすめゲームuous)
- Coupler(note 4) efficiency(note 5): 94% (forced air cool遊雅堂 おすすめゲームg)
- Transmission distance: 95 mm
- Coupler unit (exclud遊雅堂 おすすめゲームg cool遊雅堂 おすすめゲームg fans), size: H 480 mm x W 480 mm x D 100 mm, weight: approx. 4.3 kg
- Power supply: 13.56 MHz, water-cooled, class AB, 5 kW RF power supply (commercial power supply)
- Along with work遊雅堂 おすすめゲームg to m遊雅堂 おすすめゲームiaturize and improve the efficiency and power output of the coupler, we are also develop遊雅堂 おすすめゲームg a high-frequency power source us遊雅堂 おすすめゲームg a GaN device with the aim of commercialization around 2025.
Environmental harmony 遊雅堂 おすすめゲームitiatives
Our goal is to help prevent global warm遊雅堂 おすすめゲームg by improv遊雅堂 おすすめゲームg the convenience of next-generation personal mobility vehicles through the realization of high-efficiency, wireless power transmission.
