POOL ASSOCIATED PLATFORMS AND POOL CLEANING ROBOTS AND ACTIVE RECEIVER FOR ENHANCED DETECTION IN WIRELESS POWER TRANSFER SYSTEMS
A wireless charging system for a poolside platform utilizes magnetic fields transmitted from edge stations to a receiving unit on the platform. The receiving unit actively adjusts its response to maintain a connection despite varying positions and wet environments, enabling efficient and automated wireless charging. Unlike conventional systems requiring dedicated communication channels, the receiver actively oscillates its coil upon detecting the transmitter, creating distinctive patterns in the transmitter's current characteristics, for example decay characteristics. This "signature oscillation" functions as feedback throughout the detection phase without requiring separate control signaling, enabling reliable wireless charging in challenging wet environments.
