PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technique enabling an electric power to be surely supplied to an AUV (Autonomous Underwater Vehicle) in water with simple structure.SOLUTION: An underwater charging system according to an embodiment, comprises: an underwater vehicle operated by a secondary battery as a driving source; and a power supply device supplying an electric power to the underwater vehicle in water. The underwater vehicle comprises: a power receiving part that receives the electric power from the power supply device; and a charging control part that stores the electric power received from the power receiving part into the secondary battery. The power supply device comprises: a propeller for moving in water; a coupling part that couples the underwater vehicle to an own device with a magnetic force; a power transmission part that transmits the electric power to the underwater vehicle; and a position adjustment part that can move a relative position of the coupling part to the own device in a three-dimensional direction. The position adjustment part moves the coupling part so that the relative position of the own device to the dividing machine is set to be a position where the power transmission part can supply electric power to the power receiving part after the coupling part couples the underwater vehicle to the own device.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3

    【課題】水中におけるAUVへの給電を簡易な構成でより確実に実施することができる技術を提供すること。【解決手段】実施形態の水中充電システムは、二次電池を動力源として動作する潜水機と、水中の前記潜水機に対して電力を供給する給電装置とを備える水中充電システムであって、前記潜水機は、前記給電装置から電力を受電する受電部と、前記受電部によって受電された電力を前記二次電池に蓄電する充電制御部と、を備え、前記給電装置は、水中を移動するための推進器と、磁力によって前記潜水機を自装置に連結する連結部と、前記潜水機に電力を送電する送電部と、自装置に対する前記連結部の相対位置を3次元方向に移動させることが可能な位置調整部と、を備え、前記位置調整部は、前記連結部が前記潜水機を自装置に連結した後、前記潜水機に対する自装置の相対位置が、前記送電部が前記受電部に対して給電可能な位置となるように前記連結部を移動させる。【選択図】図3
