ELECTRIC POWER RECEIVER FOR VEHICLES

Document Type and Number:

Japanese Patent JP2009303316

Kind Code:

A

Abstract:

To provide an electric power receiver for vehicles which enables the reduction of temperature rise of a power receiving plate due to microwaves without providing a vehicle with an air-cooling fan.

An electric power receiver 14-1 for vehicles according to this embodiment is an electric power receiver for vehicles which receives microwaves 11 transmitted from a transmitter 12 and converts them into energy. It has a power receiving plate 23, which receives microwaves 11, with its one face attached to a chassis 22, and a thermal storage part 25-1, which is provided at the other side of this power receiving plate 23 and absorbs heat generated in the power receiving plate 23 into a thermal storage container 31-1. It can reduce the temperature rise of the power receiving plate 23 without providing the vehicle 13 with an air-cooling fan by absorbing and accumulating heat, which is generated in the power receiving plate 23 at charge of a battery 27, in a phase change material 24 within the thermal storage part 25-1. Moreover, it discharges the heat accumulated in the phase change material 24 into the air in a non-operation period when the charge of the battery 27 is not performed.
