[0060] The capture module has a high-resolution frequency or duty cycle measurement function and can perform instantaneous frequency measurement. The capture module can be a high-precision capture module, which can be a module integrated inside a high-precision capture chip, or can be implemented by a common capture chip + other high-precision circuits or high-precision control algorithms. For example, a high-precision capture chip can be TI's 28035, 28069 and other chips, and the internal function name is -HRCAP (High-ResolutionCapture, which can usually measure the external pulse width at a typical resolution within hundreds of picoseconds).

[0061] Furthermore, the secondary full-bridge circuit includes a first secondary switch unit Qs1, a second secondary switch unit Qs2, a third secondary switch unit Qs3 and a fourth secondary switch unit Qs4.

[0062] The first secondary switch unit Qs1 and the third secondary switch unit Qs3 are connected in series to form a third branch, the second secondary switch unit Qs2 and the fourth secondary switch unit Qs4 are connected in series to form a fourth branch, and the third branch and the fourth branch are connected in parallel to form the secondary full-bridge circuit;

[0063] A fifth connection point between the first secondary switch unit Qs1 and the second secondary switch unit Qs2, and a sixth connection point between the third secondary switch unit Qs3 and the fourth secondary switch unit Qs4, are electrically connected to the load, respectively;

[0064] A seventh connection point between the first secondary switch unit Qs1 and the third secondary switch unit Qs3 and an eighth connection point between the second secondary switch unit Qs2 and the fourth secondary switch unit Qs4 are electrically connected to the second charging circuit, respectively.

[0065] The first secondary switch unit Qs1, the second secondary switch unit Qs2, the third secondary switch unit Qs3 and the fourth secondary switch unit Qs4 can all be MOSFET (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect TransIstor, metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor) / MOS tubes, such as super junction MOSFET, or SiC-MOSFET, or the first secondary switch unit Qs1, the second secondary switch unit Qs2, the third secondary switch unit Qs3 and the fourth secondary switch unit Qs4 can also be other switch tubes such as IGBT.

Of course, the compensation network applicable to this embodiment is not limited to this. The compensation network can be a single device form such as a series compensation capacitor or a parallel compensation capacitor, or it can be a combination mode composed of a compensation capacitor and a compensation inductor. For example, in addition to the LCC compensation network in the example, there are other multi-device combination modes such as LCL.

The primary coil Lp and the secondary coil Ls form a loosely coupled transformer to achieve energy transmission and reception. The shapes of the two are not limited, and can be circular coils, rectangular coils, D-shaped coils, etc.

[0070] In this embodiment, the secondary circuit is described by taking the full-bridge circuit as an example, which does not mean that there is only this form. In practical applications, other equivalent circuit topologies with two switching tubes and two diodes (for example, the two upper tubes of the full bridge are diodes and the two lower tubes are switching tubes, or one arm of the full bridge is a diode and the other arm is a switching tube, etc.) are still applicable, and the working principle is the same, which will not be repeated here.

[0071] The capture module is used to capture the frequency of the primary circuit through the second charging circuit and / or the secondary full-bridge circuit, and to control the secondary full-bridge circuit according to the acquired frequency. For example, if the acquired frequency is outside the preset frequency range, the charging protection function corresponding to the wireless charging circuit is activated, or the wireless charging circuit is controlled to stop the charging operation; if the acquired frequency is within the preset frequency range, charging continues, so as to ensure that the frequencies of the primary side and the secondary side are the same or similar.

[0072] The wireless charging circuit in this embodiment controls the primary full-bridge circuit through the control module, which can improve the frequency accuracy of the primary full-bridge circuit and reduce the operating error range of the frequency of the primary full-bridge circuit. When charging the electric vehicle, the primary circuit is operated at a preset frequency because the operating error range is small, and the frequency of the primary circuit is captured by the capture module. The operating state of the secondary circuit is controlled according to the acquired frequency of the primary circuit, so that the frequency of the primary circuit is the same as or close to the frequency of the secondary circuit, thereby improving the charging efficiency and system stability of the wireless charging circuit.

[0073] The present invention also provides a wireless charging method, referring to Figure 2 , Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the process of the first embodiment of the method of the present invention.

[0074] The wireless charging method is applied to the above-mentioned wireless charging circuit, and the wireless charging method comprises the following steps:

[0075] Step S100, if the primary circuit operates at a preset frequency, the secondary circuit acquires the primary frequency corresponding to the primary circuit through a capture module;

[0076] In this embodiment, when the electric vehicle is charging, the primary circuit operates at a preset frequency, and the secondary circuit obtains the primary frequency of the primary circuit through a capture module. Specifically, the primary frequency can be obtained by detecting the amount of information reflecting the primary frequency through the second charging circuit and / or the secondary full-bridge circuit.

[0077] Step S200, determining whether the acquired primary frequency is within a preset frequency range;

[0078] Step S300: If the acquired primary frequency is outside the preset frequency range, a charging protection function corresponding to the wireless charging circuit is activated, or the wireless charging circuit is controlled to stop the charging operation.

[0079] In this embodiment, when the primary frequency is obtained, the secondary circuit determines whether the obtained primary frequency is within a preset frequency range. If the obtained primary frequency is outside the preset frequency range, the charging protection function corresponding to the wireless charging circuit is started, or the wireless charging circuit is controlled to stop the charging operation. If the primary frequency is within the preset frequency range, the charging operation continues.

[0080] It should be noted that if the acquired primary frequency is within a preset frequency range, the secondary circuit operates according to the acquired primary frequency during the charging process, so that the electric vehicle can be charged quickly and efficiently.

[0081] The wireless charging method proposed in this embodiment is as follows: if the primary circuit operates at a preset frequency, the secondary circuit obtains the primary frequency of the primary circuit through a capture module; then determines whether the obtained primary frequency is within a preset frequency range; and then if the obtained primary frequency is outside the preset frequency range, starts a charging protection function corresponding to the wireless charging circuit, or controls the wireless charging circuit to stop the charging operation, determines whether to continue charging according to the obtained primary frequency, and then controls the operation of the secondary circuit according to the obtained primary frequency, ensures that the frequency of the primary circuit is the same as or close to the frequency of the secondary circuit, and improves the charging efficiency and system stability of the wireless charging circuit.

[0082] Based on the first embodiment, a second embodiment of the wireless charging method of the present invention is proposed. In this embodiment, before the wireless charging circuit starts charging, step S100 includes:

[0083] Step S110, if the primary circuit operates the preset frequency in a high-precision mode, and the secondary circuit operates in a secondary full-bridge short-circuit operating mode, or an uncontrolled rectification operating mode, or a synchronous rectification operating mode, the secondary circuit detects the amount of information reflecting the primary frequency through a capture module, and obtains the primary frequency corresponding to the primary circuit based on the amount of information;

[0084] In this embodiment, when the primary circuit operates at a preset frequency, if the primary circuit operates at the preset frequency in a high-precision mode, the secondary circuit can operate in a secondary full-bridge short-circuit operating mode, or an uncontrolled rectification operating mode or a synchronous rectification operating mode.

[0085] Among them, the secondary full-bridge short-circuit working mode: that is, the secondary full-bridge short-circuits the corresponding MOS tube through control methods such as adjusting the duty cycle or phase shifting, so that the mid-point voltage Ve of the full bridge is 0.

[0086] Uncontrolled rectifier working mode: that is, turn off all MOS tube drivers on the secondary side of the full bridge, and only the diode works. At this time, the full bridge is equivalent to an uncontrolled rectifier bridge.

[0087] Synchronous rectification working mode: The operation of synchronous rectification is similar to that of uncontrolled rectification, except that in uncontrolled rectification the current flows through the diode, while in synchronous rectification the current flows through the MOS tube itself.

[0088] If the secondary full-bridge circuit operates in a secondary full-bridge short-circuit working mode, or an uncontrolled rectification working mode or a synchronous rectification working mode, the secondary circuit detects the amount of information reflecting the primary frequency through a capture module, and obtains the primary frequency corresponding to the primary circuit based on the amount of information. Specifically, when the amount of information is obtained, the waveform frequency of the information is determined, and the waveform frequency is used as the obtained primary frequency.

[0089] The information includes at least one of the input current Ie of the secondary full-bridge circuit, the inductor current Is of the second secondary inductor Ls in the second charging circuit, and the voltage across the second secondary capacitor Cs in the second charging circuit. The frequencies of the input current Ie of the secondary full-bridge circuit, the inductor current Is of the second secondary inductor Ls, and the voltage across the second secondary capacitor Cs include the primary frequency f0, and the capture module can be used to obtain relatively accurate primary frequency information.

[0090] After step S200, the method further includes:

[0091] Step S400: If the acquired primary frequency is within the preset frequency range, the primary circuit maintains the primary frequency and operates in a high-precision mode during the charging process, and the secondary circuit maintains the acquired primary frequency and operates in a high-precision mode.

[0092] In this embodiment, if the acquired primary frequency is within a preset frequency range, the primary circuit maintains the primary frequency in a high-precision mode during the charging process, and the secondary circuit maintains the acquired primary frequency in a high-precision mode, so that the electric vehicle can be charged quickly and efficiently.

[0093] The wireless charging method proposed in this embodiment is as follows: if the primary circuit operates the preset frequency in a high-precision mode, and the secondary circuit operates in a secondary full-bridge short-circuit working mode, or an uncontrolled rectification working mode or a synchronous rectification working mode, the secondary circuit detects the amount of information reflecting the primary frequency through a capture module, and obtains the primary frequency corresponding to the primary circuit based on the amount of information; then, if the obtained primary frequency is within a preset frequency range, the primary circuit maintains the primary frequency to operate in a high-precision mode during the charging process, and the secondary circuit maintains the obtained primary frequency to operate in a high-precision mode, and controls the operating state of the secondary circuit according to the obtained primary frequency to ensure that the frequency of the primary circuit is the same as or close to the frequency of the secondary circuit, thereby improving the charging efficiency and system stability of the wireless charging circuit.

[0094] Based on the first embodiment, a third embodiment of the wireless charging method of the present invention is proposed. In this embodiment, before the wireless charging circuit starts charging and / or during charging, step S100 includes:

[0095] Step S120: If the primary circuit runs the preset frequency, the secondary circuit detects the amount of information reflecting the primary frequency through a capture module, and acquires the primary frequency corresponding to the primary circuit based on the amount of information in real time.

[0096] After step S200, the method further includes:

[0097] Step S500: If the acquired primary frequency is within a preset frequency range, the secondary circuit operates according to the acquired primary frequency during the charging process.

[0098] In this embodiment, the primary circuit operates at a preset frequency, and the secondary circuit detects the amount of information reflecting the primary frequency in real time through a capture module, and obtains the primary frequency corresponding to the primary circuit based on the amount of information in real time. Specifically, when the amount of information is obtained, the waveform frequency of the information is determined, and the waveform frequency is used as the primary frequency. The amount of information includes at least one of the input current Ie of the secondary full-bridge circuit, the inductor current Is of the second secondary inductor Ls in the second charging circuit, and the voltage across the second secondary capacitor Cs in the second charging circuit. The frequency of the input current Ie of the secondary full-bridge circuit, the inductor current Is of the second secondary inductor Ls, and the voltage across the second secondary capacitor Cs is the primary frequency f0. The capture module can be used to obtain relatively accurate primary frequency information.

[0099] If the acquired primary frequency is within the preset frequency range, the secondary circuit operates according to the acquired primary frequency during the charging process, so that the primary circuit and the secondary circuit maintain the same or similar frequency operation, so that the electric vehicle can be charged quickly and efficiently.

[0100] The wireless charging method proposed in this embodiment detects the amount of information reflecting the primary frequency through the capture module of the secondary circuit, and obtains the primary frequency corresponding to the primary circuit based on the information in real time. Then, if the acquired primary frequency is within a preset frequency range, the secondary circuit operates according to the acquired primary frequency during the charging process. By controlling the operating state of the secondary circuit in real time according to the acquired primary frequency, it is possible to ensure in real time that the frequency of the primary circuit is the same as or close to the frequency of the secondary circuit, thereby further improving the charging efficiency and system stability of the wireless charging circuit.

[0101] Based on the first embodiment, a fourth embodiment of the wireless charging method of the present invention is proposed. In this embodiment, before the wireless charging circuit starts charging and / or during charging, step S100 includes:

[0102] Step S130, if the primary circuit operates the preset frequency in a high-precision mode, the secondary circuit detects the amount of information reflecting the primary frequency through a capture module, and acquires the primary frequency corresponding to the primary circuit based on the amount of information in real time;

[0103] After step S200, the method further includes:

[0104] Step S600: If the acquired primary frequency is within a preset frequency range, the secondary circuit operates according to the acquired primary frequency during the charging process.

[0105] In this embodiment, when the primary circuit operates at a preset frequency, if the primary circuit operates the preset frequency in a high-precision mode, the secondary circuit detects the amount of information reflecting the primary frequency in real time through a capture module, and obtains the primary frequency corresponding to the primary circuit based on the amount of information in real time. Specifically, when the amount of information is obtained, the waveform frequency of the information is determined, and the waveform frequency is used as the primary frequency. The amount of information includes at least one of the input current Ie of the secondary full-bridge circuit, the inductor current Is of the second secondary inductor Ls in the second charging circuit, and the voltage across the second secondary capacitor Cs in the second charging circuit. The frequency of the input current Ie of the secondary full-bridge circuit, the inductor current Is of the second secondary inductor Ls, and the voltage across the second secondary capacitor Cs is the primary frequency f0. The capture module can be used to obtain relatively accurate primary frequency information.

By controlling the operating state of the secondary circuit in real time according to the acquired primary frequency, it is possible to ensure in real time that the frequency of the primary circuit is the same as or close to the frequency of the secondary circuit, thereby further improving the charging efficiency and system stability of the wireless charging circuit.

[0112] The wireless charging method proposed in this embodiment is that if the primary circuit adopts the high-precision mode to operate the preset frequency, the secondary circuit obtains the primary frequency sent by the primary circuit through wireless communication; then the secondary circuit adopts the high-precision mode to operate according to the obtained primary frequency, and through the wireless communication interaction between the primary circuit and the secondary circuit, the secondary circuit operates according to the received primary frequency, thereby ensuring that the frequency of the primary circuit is the same as the frequency of the secondary circuit, further improving the charging efficiency and system stability of the wireless charging circuit.
