PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a moving mechanism with less energy loss due to a simple structure, which can utilize an easy-to-use non-contact power supply.SOLUTION: Different from a conventional moving mechanism that can move along a moving path, a moving mechanism comprises: a plurality of first coils for power supply which are coils for power supply performing non-contact power supply to other coils for power supply, and are arranged along a virtual line parallel to the moving path; and a second coil for power supply which is a coil for power supply receiving non-contact power supply from other coils for power supply; and a moving mechanism body which is a mechanism body supporting the second coil for power supply. It is possible to perform non-contact power supply to the second coil for power supply from at least one of the first coils for power supply which is sequentially selected according to an order of allocation among the plurality of the first coils for power supply when the moving mechanism body moves along the moving path. 【課題】 簡易な構造によりエネルギーロスが少なく、利用の容易な非接触給電を利用できる移動機構を提供する。【解決手段】従来の移動経路に沿って移動できる移動機構に変わって、他の給電用コイルへ非接触給電できる給電用コイルであり移動経路に平行な仮想線に沿って並ぶ複数の給電用１次コイルと、他の給電用コイルから非接触給電される給電用コイルである給電用２次コイルと、前記給電用２次コイルを支持する構造体である移動構造体と、を備え、前記移動構造体が移動経路に沿って移動するときに複数の前記給電用１次コイルのうちから並ぶ順番に応じて順次に選択される少なくとも１つの前記給電用１次コイルから前記給電用２次コイルへ非接触給電できる、ものとした。【選択図】 図１
