Inductive power providing system

Abstract

A system, for providing power to a workspace by induction, comprises at least one inductive power outlet incorporated into a bounding surface of the workspace. The inductive power outlet comprises at least one primary inductor connectable to a power supply via a driver. The driver provides an oscillating voltage supply to the primary inductor and the primary inductor may inductively couple with a secondary inductor wired to an electric load.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to providing an inductive power supply system. In particular, the invention relates to the integration of inductive power outlets into the boundary surfaces of the workspace. Background technique [0002] Where and when power is supplied is an important consideration when constructing buildings. The number and location of power outlets required for each room depends on how the room is used. Often, but during construction, the function of the room's furniture is not yet known. Therefore, it is often necessary to set the location of the electric energy outlet after the construction of the building is completed, which increases the expenditure cost. [0003] Conventionally, electrical power outlets are typically placed at strategic points around the walls of a room. A ring bus connection to the power base is available. The ring bus is typically run around conductive pipes embedded in the wall, and electrical boxes on or ...

Problems solved by technology

However, children sometimes insert pencils, pins, or other objects into the holes, sometimes with fatal results

Water can also cause a short circuit and possible electric shock

[0010] Because outlets are unattractive, the number of outlets that can be mounted on a wall is usually limited

Frequently, their location is not suitable for changing requirements and extension leads are required
