In this case, the location adjacent to the transmitting coil portion 722 can detect the relative position of the receiving body portion 731 with respect to the transmitting body portion 721, such as between the transmitting body portion 721 and the receiving body portion 731. Various design changes are possible within the range of possible locations. The position detection unit 750 can be supported by being directly coupled to the transmission body unit 721, or it can also be supported at a position spaced apart from the transmission body unit 721 by a separate fixing means.

The supply control unit 760 adjusts whether or not AC power is transmitted to each transmission coil unit 722 based on the data sensed from the position detection unit 750. More specifically, when the position of the receiving body unit 731 is changed due to movement of the transfer unit 200 of the supply control unit 760, the transmission is arranged to face the receiving body unit 731 among the plurality of transmitting coil units 722. Allows AC power to be transmitted to the coil unit 722, and blocks AC power from being transmitted to the remaining transmission coil units 722. Accordingly, the supply control unit 760 can prevent excessive power consumption by limiting the transfer of AC power to the transmission coil unit 722, where wireless power transmission is not substantially performed. The supply control unit 760 may be installed inside the first conversion unit 710, or may be installed separately in the path through which power is supplied from the first conversion unit 710 to the transmission coil unit 722. The supply control unit 760 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a switch module that can independently control whether or not AC power is transmitted to each transmission coil unit 722, and a receiving body unit 731 from the position detection unit 750. ) may include a switch control unit that receives data about the position status and controls the operation of the switch module. The switch control unit can be implemented as an electronic control unit (ECU), central processing unit (CPU), processor, or system on chip (SoC), and runs an operating system or application. It can control multiple hardware or software components and perform various data processing and calculations. The switch control unit may be configured to execute at least one command stored in a memory and store execution result data in the memory.

Hereinafter, the operating process of the indoor customizing device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

Referring to FIGS. 1 to 10 , the direct current power generated from the power supply unit 600 is converted into alternating current power by the first conversion unit 710 and transmitted to the transmission coil unit 722.

The AC power delivered to the transmitting coil unit 722 is wirelessly transmitted to the receiving coil unit 623 by an inductive coupling method or a magnetic resonance method based on electromagnetic induction phenomenon with the receiving coil unit 623.

The alternating current power transmitted to the receiving coil unit 623 is converted back into direct current power by the second conversion unit 740 and transmitted to the driving unit 300, more specifically, to the electronic control unit of the driving member 310.

Thereafter, as the user operates the seat switch, the driving member 310 generates rotational force through the power received from the power transmission unit 700.

The rotational force generated from the driving member 310 is transmitted to the second power transmission body 421 through the deceleration member 320, and the second gear unit 422 pivots around the central axis together with the second power transmission body 421. is rotated.

As the second gear unit 422 is engaged and coupled with the first gear unit 412, the second gear unit 422 rotates about the central axis and is rotated in the longitudinal direction of the first gear unit 412, that is, the rail unit ( 100) is moved along the longitudinal direction.

As the second gear unit 422 moves along the longitudinal direction of the rail unit 100, the transfer unit 200 connected to the second gear unit 422 via the drive unit 300 is connected to the second gear unit 422. It moves along the longitudinal direction of the rail unit 100 and adjusts the position of the transfer object (2).

In the process of moving the transfer unit 200 along the longitudinal direction of the rail unit 100, the receiving module 730 integrally connected with the transfer unit 200 is moved relative to the transmitting module 720.

As the receiving body portion 731 is arranged to face any one of the plurality of transmitting coil portions 722, the position detection portion 750 installed adjacent to the corresponding transmitting coil portion 722 Detects the position of the receiving body unit 731.

The supply control unit 760 receives data about the position of the receiving body unit 731 detected from the position detection unit 750, and adjusts whether or not AC power is transmitted to each transmitting coil unit 722.

More specifically, the supply control unit 760 allows the AC power converted from the first conversion unit 710 to be transmitted to the transmission coil unit 722 disposed to face the receiving body unit 731, and transmits the remaining transmission. It blocks transmission to the coil unit 722.

Thereafter, as the transfer object 2 is located at the target position, the power supply unit 600 stops supplying power, and the movement of the transfer unit 200 stops.

Figures 11 and 12 are diagrams schematically showing the process in which the transfer unit passes through a curved section of the rail unit according to an embodiment of the present invention.

11 and 12, when the transfer unit 200 enters the curved section of the rail unit 100, a guide unit ( The guide body 510 provided in 500 is rotated about the rotation support part 540 by the curvature of the first power transmission body 411, and the installation angle with respect to the transfer part 200 is changed.

In this process, as the pair of guide members 520 maintains contact with the guide rail 530 formed on each first power transmission body 411, the second gear unit 422 is connected to the first gear unit. It can be rotated while maintaining engagement with (412).

As the second gear unit 422 passes through the curved section of the first power transmission body 411 while being engaged with the first gear unit 412, it is connected to the second gear unit 422 through the driving unit 300. The transfer unit 200 changes direction of movement and performs a turning operation.

Among the pair of guide units 500, the guide body 510 provided on the guide unit 500 disposed rearward in the moving direction of the transfer unit 200 has an installation angle formed with the transfer unit 200 equal to the turning angle of the transfer unit 200. is changed. Afterwards, as the turning operation of the transfer unit 200 is completed and the transfer unit 200 moves along the straight section of the rail unit 100, the guide body 510 is guided by a pair of guide members 520 that always maintain the same width. ) returns to the initial installation angle.

The present invention has been described with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings, but these are merely exemplary, and those skilled in the art will recognize that various modifications and other equivalent embodiments are possible therefrom. You will understand.
