Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of charging technology, in particular to a wireless charging circuit with variable resonant inductance. Background Art

[0002] The existing wireless charging circuits on the market do not have variable additional capacitance designed for the main coil in the LC resonant circuit, so the wireless charging distance can only fluctuate within a small range. This has hindered the development of wireless technology, so improvements are needed. Summary of the invention

[0003] The object of the present invention is to provide a wireless charging circuit with variable resonant inductance to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0004] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0005] A wireless charging circuit with variable resonant inductance comprises an AC-DC module, a power driver, a main control chip, an output coil, a current / voltage acquisition circuit and a communication signal demodulation circuit. The AC-DC module transmits voltage to the power driver and the main control chip in two ways. The output end of the power driver is respectively connected to a relay K1, a relay K2, a relay K3 and a capacitor C1. The other end of the relay K3 is connected to the output coil via an inductor L1. The other end of the relay K2 is connected to the output coil via an inductor L2. The other end of the relay K1 is connected to the output coil. The other end of the capacitor C1 is connected to the output coil and the current / voltage acquisition circuit. The current / voltage acquisition circuit is also connected to the communication signal demodulation circuit and the main control chip. The main control chip is respectively connected to the power driver, the relay K1, the relay K2, the relay K3 and the communication signal demodulation circuit.

[0006] As a further technical solution of the present invention, the output coil and the capacitor C1 form an LC resonant circuit.

[0007] As a further technical solution of the present invention, the main control chip is responsible for signal acquisition, processing, and control signal output of the entire circuit.

[0008] As a further technical solution of the present invention, the current / voltage acquisition circuit sends the acquired working current value to the main control chip for calculating the transmission power.

[0009] As a further technical solution of the present invention, the current / voltage acquisition circuit sends the acquired voltage / current modulation signal to the communication signal demodulation circuit for signal demodulation.

[0010] As a further technical solution of the present invention, the communication signal demodulation circuit demodulates the voltage / current modulation signal from the current / voltage acquisition circuit, restores it to a standard binary signal, and sends it to the main control chip for calculation.

[0011] As a further technical solution of the present invention, the main control chip obtains a power error data packet of the RX end from the standard binary signal from the communication signal demodulation circuit, and performs frequency / duty adjustment on the PWM signal output to the power driver according to the power error data packet, thereby controlling the alternating magnetic field power emitted by the LC resonant circuit to meet the power requirement of the RX end.

[0012] As a further technical solution of the present invention, when the main control chip cannot meet the power requirement of the RX end through normal PWM frequency + duty cycle adjustment, it can be judged that the RX coil is relatively far away. At this time, the main control chip controls Out1, Out2, Out3... to match the LC main resonant coil with an additional inductor of the required inductance to increase the amplitude of the LC circuit, so that the positive / negative amplitude of the alternating voltage in the Coil is higher, and the energy of the alternating magnetic field radiates farther, thereby achieving the purpose of charging at a longer distance.

[0013] As a further technical solution of the present invention, the main control chip also monitors the dynamic values ​​collected by the temperature sensor in the circuit. When the dynamic values ​​collected by the temperature sensor deviate from the threshold set by the program, the output power is reduced or suspended to achieve the purpose of temperature protection.

[0014] As a further technical solution of the present invention, the main control chip also monitors the output power loss of the circuit. When the output power loss value deviates from the threshold set by the program, the output power is reduced or suspended to protect against foreign objects.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. For the first time, in a wireless charging circuit, the inductance in the LC resonant circuit is adjusted to increase the LC amplitude, so as to achieve the purpose of charging at a longer distance; 2. The main control chip of the present invention can adjust the additional inductance of the main coil in the LC resonant circuit at any time, so it can automatically be compatible with long / short distance charging; 3. The existing wireless charging circuits on the market do not design variable additional capacitance for the main coil in the LC resonant circuit, so the wireless charging distance can only float within a small range. The "Wireless Charging Circuit with Variable Resonant Inductance" involved in this patent only needs to select the appropriate additional inductance through the Out1, Out2, Out3... control signals according to the distance of the RX coil, so as to increase the amplitude of the LC circuit, make the positive / negative amplitude of the alternating voltage in the main coil higher, and radiate the energy of the alternating magnetic field farther, so as to achieve the purpose of charging at a longer distance; 4. The variable LC resonant inductance circuit of this design is low-cost, but it achieves the function of automatically compatible with long / short distance charging, and improves the market competitiveness of the product.

[0019] The AC-DC module provides DC power for the entire circuit. After the direct power enters the circuit, it is transmitted in two ways: A. One way enters the power driver and is converted into high-frequency pulse DC. This high-frequency pulse DC passes through the LC resonant circuit composed of the output coil and the resonant capacitors C1, C2, C3..., and is converted into a high-frequency alternating magnetic field and radiated out as the main power output of the wireless charger; B. The other way provides power to the main control chip and other peripheral circuits to keep the circuit working in an orderly manner.
