Embodiment 1
[0034] Preferred embodiment 1: use the first alignment parameter and the second alignment parameter to perform lateral alignment and longitudinal alignment respectively allow
[0035] Wireless charging alignment may include alignment in two directional components, ie, "horizontal" alignment and "longitudinal" alignment. Let us assume that the vehicle has a virtual axis that extends from the nose of the vehicle to the tail of the vehicle and is parallel to the direction in which the vehicle advances or retreats (when no steering movement occurs). "Lateral" alignment refers to aligning the vehicle (or a wireless power receiver thereon) with the wireless power transmitter in a direction perpendicular to the virtual axis. "Longitudinal" alignment refers to aligning the vehicle (or a wireless power receiver thereon) with the wireless power transmitter in a direction parallel to the virtual axis.
[0036] In an embodiment, a "lateral" alignment may be performed first, wherein t...
Embodiment 2
[0039] Preferred Embodiment 2: Using a Reference Object to Provide the First Alignment Parameter
[0040] In an embodiment, the first alignment parameter module 110 may determine a first alignment parameter between the wireless power transmitter and the vehicle (or the wireless power receiver on the vehicle) using a reference object in the vicinity of the wireless power transmitter. For example, the first alignment parameter module may be configured to: determine the position of a reference object around the vehicle; determine a reference relative position between the reference object and the wireless power transmitter; position to determine a first alignment parameter describing the relative position of the wireless power transmitter relative to the vehicle (or the wireless power receiver on the vehicle).
[0041] In the above embodiments, the first alignment parameter module may include a sensor and a processor. The sensors may include a single sensor or a set of sensors ...
