Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present subject matter is related in general to a system and method for charging of a vehicle, and more particularly, but not exclusively to a wireless charging system and a method for wirelessly charging a vehicle.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] The present times depict a potential rise in the sector of electric mobility transforming the traditional transportation norms and regimes worldwide. The extensive research and development undertaken by major global businesses and the support provided by governments worldwide, makes the future of electric mobility imperative. The implementation of electric mobility also ascertains achievement of sustainability goals major economies have committed to. In view of the same, there is a collateral development of charging systems for facilitating development of electric mobility. The charging systems developed concomitant to electric mobility are consistently being critically analyzed and improved to achieve charging of a vehicle in a shorter span of time.
[0003] The term electric mobility generically refers to electrically powered vehicles having an energy storage pack. The electrically powered vehicles include electric vehicle, plug-in hybrid vehicles and the like where the energy storage pack powering the vehicle is charged with electric power supplied from a charging system.
[0004] A charging system commonly referred to as charger is essentially a device receiving a supply of electric current from an AC supply network and converting the same into a DC current and henceforth supplying the DC current to an energy storage pack drawing the supplied DC current which further is used to provide current to one or more electrical loads of a vehicle.
[0005] Conventional charging systems for vehicle involve plug-in charging of vehicles employing a cord set. The charging of the vehicle requires the plug from the cord set be inserted into a charging port of the vehicle, the vehicle through the established electrical connection then draws electrical energy from the charging system. The major drawback the conventional charging system employing cord sets is a short life cycle of the cord set due to operational and external environmental factors which deteriorates the charger functionality. The consistent plugging-in and plugging out of the cord set of the charging system from the charging port of the vehicle subjects the cord set to extensive wear and tear. Typically, due to the plug-in and plug-out conditioning of the cord set, the life cycle of the cord set is limited to one year.
[0006] In view of the above disadvantage associated with cord set charging, there has been immense research and development in the field of wireless charging where the requisite of a physical cord set is eliminated. Wireless charging of small electronic devices such as mobile phones, personal digital assistants and earphones is already known in the art. Wireless charging of electronic devices effortlessly eliminates human intervention while achieving an efficient charging method for electronic devices. Further, the development of wireless charging technology being extended to vehicles would not only create an automated charging system but also ensure efficiently charging of vehicles in a shorter time span.
[0007] Further limitations and disadvantages of conventional and traditional approaches will become apparent to one of skill in the art, through comparison of described systems with some aspects of the present disclosure, as set forth in the remainder of the present application and with reference to the drawings.

However, a person skilled in the art would appreciate that the present invention is not limited to a two wheeler vehicle and certain features aspects and advantages of the present invention can be used with various types of vehicles such as three-wheeler and even a unicycle and may include a hybrid or an electrical type vehicle. In an embodiment, the vehicle comprises of a front wheel and a charge reception unit being disposed on the vehicle as receiver for the wirelessly transmitted electrical energy for charging.
[00037] In conventional charging systems employing cord set, the plug-in and plug-out operations for connecting and disconnecting the charging station to the vehicle results in excessive wear and tear in the power cables used for connecting as well as the power adapters. Further, the imminent and futile energy loses occurring during transmission through the power cable is an additional factor despised by energy conservationists and yields unprecedented energy costs. The additional cost associated with maintenance, replacement and manufacturing of the cord set charging system deems the same unfeasible in the long run.
[00038] To this end, the present subject matter provides a wireless charging system and a method for wirelessly charging a vehicle eliminating the requisite of a cord set and consequently eliminating the disadvantages associated with the same.
