Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of wireless power transmission foreign object detection, and particularly relates to a single-layer array sensing coil type foreign object detection system applied to magnetic coupling resonance wireless power transmission and a detection method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Wireless power transmission technology breaks through the constraints of cables, does not require electrical connection, has no exposed interface, has no problems such as contact spark and wear and aging, has strong adaptability to bad weather or environment such as rain and snow, and an energy emission device almost does not occupy ground space, has less land resources and low maintenance cost. The technology not only can promote the alleviation of the endurance problem of electric vehicles and the strengthening of the interaction ability of vehicles and power grids, but also has been widely concerned by the academic and industrial circles at home and abroad in the application fields of consumer electronics, unmanned aerial vehicles, robots and the like.

[0003] A foreign object is any object between the transmitting end and the receiving end of a wireless power transmission system that does not belong to the system itself. Among many kinds of foreign objects, metal foreign objects and biological foreign objects can have serious adverse effects on the transmission power, efficiency and safety of the system. Foreign object detection technology is an indispensable auxiliary function to ensure the safe and stable operation of a magnetic coupling resonance type wireless power transmission system. The method of using a sensing coil for foreign object detection has become the main technology for realizing the foreign object detection function due to its low cost and easy integration with a wireless power transmission system. At present, in order to improve the detection precision and sensitivity, the foreign object detection method based on a sensing coil usually adopts an array type sensing coil and a reverse series connection mode of two sensing units to offset the interference of the energy transmission magnetic field on detection and further increase the sensing coil's perception ability to foreign objects. However, when a foreign object with uniform texture (such as a coin or other regular-shaped metal sheet) happens to cover the same area of the two sensing units in reverse series connection (such as Figure 1: foreign object is symmetrical about plane β geometry, the detection unit is also symmetrical about plane β geometry, and the foreign object is directly above the detection unit, or in the case of the electromagnetic influence of the foreign object on the two anti-serial sensing units cancels out, this detection method will fail due to decoupling between the coil and the foreign object, that is, this method will naturally cause a detection blind area, which is called an indirect blind area, the size of the indirect blind area is related to the structure of the sensing unit and the structure and properties of the foreign object, so the time and space of the occurrence of the indirect blind area have a certain randomness, and therefore its influence on the safety of the system is bad and significant, and engineering applications absolutely cannot allow such a situation to occur. In order to solve the above problems, the engineering usually adopts the technology of double-layer sensing coil cooperative work, specifically, the double-layer coil is arranged by parallel misplacement and overlapping to stagger the blind area points of the two layers of sensing coils, so that when one layer of sensing coil triggers the indirect blind area, the other layer of sensing coil can normally identify the foreign object, although the method is effective, but it will significantly increase the cost and complexity of the system, and will sacrifice the valuable energy transmission distance of the wireless power transmission system. SUMMARY

[0007] Further, the receiving end and the transmitting end are arranged opposite to each other, the receiving end magnetic shielding layer is laid on the upper end of the receiving end magnetic core, the receiving coil is laid under the receiving end magnetic core, the receiving coil and the foreign object detection single-layer array sensing coil are arranged opposite to each other, the foreign object detection single-layer array sensing coil is closely laid above the transmitting coil, and the transmitting end magnetic core and the transmitting end magnetic shielding layer are sequentially laid under the transmitting coil.

[0008] Further, the foreign object detection single-layer array sensing coil is printed by a PCB process.

[0009] Further, the sensing unit is a planar spiral coil, and the outer contour of the planar spiral coil is a triangle, a quadrilateral, a pentagon, a hexagon, or other various shapes suitable for close arrangement without gaps.

[0010] Further, each of the plurality of sensing units contains a resonant capacitor matched with the foreign object detection sensing unit, and the resonant capacitor is arranged outside the wireless charging energy coupling area by a PCB layout.

[0011] Further, the output end of each of the plurality of sensing units is connected to a switch switching module, and the switch switching module is used to realize reverse connection of different sensing units, and can ensure that any two sensing units are connected in reverse connection with an external alternating excitation source u and a current limiting protection resistor in series to realize active detection and ensure safe operation of detection.

[0012] Further, the frequency of the external alternating excitation source u is consistent with the intrinsic frequency of the reverse connection sensing unit.

[0013] Further, a blind elimination method for magnetic coupling resonant wireless power transmission using the above detection system for single-layer array sensing coil foreign object detection, comprising the following steps:

[0014] (1) Set the detection accuracy as δu, and ideally δu is set to 0, but considering the influence of the energy transmission system on the foreign object detection system and environmental noise, δu is reasonably set according to the actual application scene;

[0015] (2) Set the integer variable as q=2;

[0016] (3) In the standby state of the wireless power transmission system, continuously monitor whether the system receives a charging instruction;

[0017] (4) If a charging instruction is received, charging starts, and the foreign object detection system starts to work at the same time;

[0018] (5) In the switch switching module corresponding to each row of sensing units, the switch connecting the external alternating excitation source and the first sensing unit is closed, specifically, in the switch switching module corresponding to the pth row of sensing units, the switch S p1 is closed;

[0019] (6) In the switch switching module corresponding to each row of sensing units, the switch connecting the first sensing unit and the qth sensing unit in the same row is closed, and the reverse connection of the two sensing units should be realized, specifically, in the pth row of switch switching modules, the switch S pqClose, realize the anti-serial connection of the sensing unit p1 and the sensing unit pq;

[0020] (7) Detect the voltage of the output end of each switch switching module, and compare the detected voltage with delta u.

If the detected voltage does not exceed delta u, it is determined that there is no foreign object in the range covered by the anti-serial sensing unit at this time, and step (9) is entered. Specifically, the switch switching module corresponding to the Pth row of sensing units should detect the output voltage of OUT pa and OUT pb , and compare it with delta u.

[0021] (8) Turn off S p1 , S pq , and stop charging, and send an alarm message indicating the number of anti-serial sensing units, thereby indicating the location of the foreign object.

[0025] Further, in step (6), when the sensing unit p1 and the sensing unit pq are connected in anti-series, the resonance capacitance value of the sensing unit pq is calculated according to the following formula:

[0026]

[0027] Where C p1 is the resonance capacitance value of the first sensing unit in the Pth row of sensing units; f d is the foreign object detection frequency; L p1 is the inductance value of the first sensing unit in the Pth row of sensing units; L pq is the inductance value of the qth sensing unit in the Pth row of sensing units, and C p1 , f d , L p1 , L pq are known values that need to be determined first during the design and production of the system.

[0028] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following positive and beneficial effects:

[0029] (1) The array type sensing coil is used for foreign matter detection, under the action of an external alternating excitation source, when there is no foreign matter in the detection area, the detection circuit resonates, the output voltage is a certain value and is 0 in theory, when there is foreign matter in the detection area, the resonance property of the detection circuit is destroyed, the output voltage increases significantly, according to which a threshold is reasonably set and the detection output voltage is compared with the threshold to judge, so that the foreign matter detection of the wireless charging system can be realized.

[0030] (2) The array type sensing coil densely arranged on the whole energy emission plane is used for foreign matter detection, so that the elimination of the direct blind area of the foreign matter detection system can be realized, and since a sensing unit with a smaller size compared with the whole energy emission plane is used, the precision of the foreign matter detection can reach a high level.

[0031] (3) The single-layer coil array type coil is used, compared with the double-layer or multi-layer foreign matter detection system, the structural complexity of the sensing coil is reduced, and since the foreign matter detection coil is generally laid on the energy emission coil, the single-layer structure can effectively avoid the sacrifice of the energy transmission distance of the wireless power transmission system caused by the foreign matter detection sensing coil;

The embodiments described below by reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present application, and cannot be interpreted as a limitation of the present application.

[0044] EMBODIMENT

[0045] A single-layer array sensing coil foreign object detection system for magnetically coupled resonant wireless power transmission is disclosed. The system includes a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter includes a single-layer array sensing coil 6 for foreign object detection, a transmitting coil 7, a transmitting magnetic shielding layer 5, and a transmitting magnetic core 4. The receiver includes a receiving coil 3, a receiving magnetic shielding layer 1, and a receiving magnetic core 2. The receiver and transmitter are positioned vertically opposite each other. The receiving magnetic shielding layer 1 is placed above the receiving magnetic core 2, and the receiving coil 3 is placed below the receiving magnetic core 2. The receiving coil 3 and the single-layer array sensing coil 6 for foreign object detection are positioned vertically opposite each other. The single-layer array sensing coil 6 is closely positioned above the transmitting coil 7, and the transmitting magnetic core 4 and the transmitting magnetic shielding layer 5 are sequentially placed below the transmitting coil 7. The overall size of the single-layer array sensing coil 6 is equal to or slightly larger than the effective area of ​​the energy emission plane, thereby achieving effective coverage of the entire energy coupling area. The magnetic coupling mechanism and the layout of the single-layer array sensing coil for foreign object detection in the wireless power transmission system are as follows: Figure 2 As shown.

[0046] The foreign object detection single-layer array sensing coil 6 consists of several small sensing units. These sensing units are evenly and densely distributed, completely covering the entire detection area without leaving any gaps, thereby minimizing the direct blind zone of foreign object detection. Each sensing unit is a planar spiral coil, and its outer contour can be triangular, quadrilateral, pentagonal, hexagonal, or any other shape suitable for close arrangement without gaps. The other shapes suitable for close arrangement without gaps do not include circles and ellipses. The specific dimensions of each sensing unit are determined according to the required accuracy and area. The single-layer array sensing coil is manufactured using PCB printing. Figure 3 The diagram shows a single-layer array of anti-series sensor coils printed on a PCB, where (a) is a square anti-series; (b) is a trapezoidal anti-series; (c) is a rectangular anti-series; and (d) is a triangular anti-series.

[0047] Each of the plurality of sensing units contains a resonant capacitor that matches the foreign object detection single-layer array sensing coil, specifically as follows: Figure 4 As shown, in Figure 4 In this diagram, L represents a planar wound sensing coil located within the energy coupling region of the wireless power transmission system. R is a protective resistor, and C is a resonant capacitor. Both R and C should be designed and positioned outside the energy coupling region. The specific calculation method for the capacitance value of the resonant capacitor C is described below.

[0048] The output of each of the plurality of sensing units is connected to a switch switching module, specifically as follows: Figure 5As shown, the switch switching power module is used to realize different sensing units in anti-series connection. Taking the switch switching module 1 as an example, the output terminals of the sensing units in the first row are connected to the switch switching module, the sensing unit 11 is connected to the sensing unit 12 through the switch S 12 , S 13 ……, S 1(n-1) , S 1n , S 12 , S……, S 1(n-1) , S 1n respectively, and the sensing unit 1n to realize anti-series connection, and can ensure that any two sensing units are in anti-series connection with an external alternating excitation source u and a current limiting protection resistor in series to realize active detection and ensure safe operation of detection.

[0049] The present application will be explained in detail as follows: Figure 5

[0050] ① The gray area represents the energy emission plane. For the convenience of display, the gray gap shown in the picture is large. In the real situation, each sensing unit should be densely distributed in the entire energy emission plane without gap or with a small gap that can be ignored.

[0051] ② The sensing array size is m x n, m represents the total number of array coils, and n represents the total number of sensing units contained in each row of sensing coils. The geometric design of each sensing unit is the same, and the same purpose is to ensure that any two sensing units are in anti-series connection to realize the decoupling of the foreign matter detection magnetic field and the energy emission magnetic field.

[0052] ③ The output of each row of sensing units is connected to a switch switching module, and the output of each switch module is connected to an external alternating excitation u.

[0053] ④ For the convenience of representation, only the circuit diagram of the switch switching module 1 is shown in the figure, and the rest of the switch switching modules are shown in corresponding colors, and are not detailed, but the overall situation is the same as that of the switch switching module 1, and different switch switching modules corresponding to each row of sensing units are connected in parallel.

[0054] ⑤ In the switch switching module 1, S 12 , S……, S 1(n-1) , S 1n and other switches are AC switches such as bidirectional thyristors, and have the ability to pass high-frequency AC power. The same is true for other switch switching modules.

[0055] ⑥ The IN port represents the input end of each switch switching module (also the output end of the sensing unit), the OUT port represents the output end of each switch switching module, and the lower right corner mark represents the serial number, that is, each switch switching module has 2n inputs and 2 outputs without considering other controls.

[0056] The frequency of the external alternating excitation source u is consistent with the detection frequency to achieve resonance, and the resonance frequency should be far away from the frequency of wireless charging power transmission and the possible split frequency point, so as to minimize the mutual interference between the power transmission frequency and the foreign matter detection frequency.

[0057] Taking the pth(p≤m) row of each sensing unit as an example, the calculation method of the resonance capacitance value is described as follows:

[0058] 1) The inductance value L of each sensing unit p1 , L p2 , … are known, and the protection resistances R p1 , R p2 , … are known;

[0059] 2) The foreign matter detection frequency f d is a fixed value;

[0060] 3) Each sensing unit is an LCR series circuit, and in the sensing unit p1, the resonance capacitance value C

[0061]

[0062] 4) When the sensing unit p1 and the sensing unit pq(q≠1, and q≤n) realize anti-series, as shown in Figure 6 , set

[0063]

[0064] wherein, C p1 is the resonance capacitance value of the first sensing unit in the pth row of sensing units; f d is the foreign matter detection frequency; L p1 is the inductance value of the first sensing unit in the pth row of sensing units; L pq is the inductance value of the qth sensing unit in the pth row of sensing units, and C p1 , f d , L p1 , L pq are known values that need to be determined first when the system is designed and produced;

[0065] 5) The protection resistances R p1 , R p2 , … can be appropriately valued.

[0066] Generally, the inductance values of each sensing unit will have different degrees of differences due to various factors, and the above value method ensures that resonance can be achieved in any group of anti-series sensing units.

[0075] (8) S p1 , S pq are opened, and charging is stopped, alarm information is sent, indicating the anti-serial sensing unit number, so as to show the position of the foreign matter;

[0076] (9) The variable q is incremented by 1, and steps (6)-(8) are repeated, so that the switch switching module corresponding to each row of sensing units realizes the anti-serial connection of different sensing units and the first sensing unit in the row through the turn-off and turn-on of the built-in switch respectively;
