[0032] The data acquisition unit transmits the acquired voltage and current to the data analysis and processing unit for impedance analysis and outputs the detection results.
[0033] This is achieved using a wireless charging device with a controllable rectifier on the secondary side. When metal detection is required, the device is powered by the vehicle battery. The controllable rectifier generates a high-frequency excitation in reverse, which generates a high-frequency magnetic field in the receiving coil. Then, a test point is selected at the compensation network port of the receiving end to detect the voltage and current. Finally, the data is processed and analyzed to complete the metal detection.
[0034] Furthermore, a bidirectional DC converter can be added between the vehicle battery and the controllable rectifier.

[0038] Further, in the metal detection working condition, the controllable rectifier generates high-frequency excitation in reverse, and the metal detection work is completed with the help of the active excitation magnetic field of the receiving coil.
[0039] Metal detection state
[0040] When the lunar rover is not in the charging process and needs to perform the metal detection, the device enters the metal detection state, the battery is reversely powered, the controllable rectifier is adjusted to work as an inverter, a reverse high-frequency excitation signal is generated, and whether the metal exists or not is judged through impedance measurement and analysis of the compensation network.
[0041] The above two working states cannot coexist, and the device switches states according to the functional needs of the lunar rover.
[0042] A metal detection method of a vehicle-mounted wireless charging system and a metal detection shared device suitable for a lunar rover,
[0043] Step 1: switch the system to the metal detection mode, close the switch S1, and switch the compensation topology to the parallel topology to prevent magnetic field interference caused by the compensation inductance of the magnetic integration;
[0044] Step 2: control the full-bridge controllable rectifier to start, and input a high-frequency excitation signal;
[0045] Step 3: the system continuously samples the voltage and current at the port of the compensation network, performs fast Fourier transform on the sampling sequence, extracts amplitude and phase information, and solves the impedance.
[0046] Step 4: analyze whether there is metal through the classification algorithm in the FPGA, and output the result.
[0047] Further, the device completes the metal detection by measuring the port impedance of the receiving end compensation network, that is, a magnetic field is generated in the receiving coil, and when metal substances appear, the metal substances will affect the coil magnetic field, thereby affecting the impedance of the coil; therefore, under this condition, the impedance in the compensation network is measured to detect whether there are metal substances;
[0048] The device measures the voltage and current signals of the measured port by using a voltage and current sensor, and obtains the amplitude and phase of the measured signal through signal processing means, and further derives the port impedance; the existence of metal substances is determined by using the real part, imaginary part and phase information of the port impedance, and can be completed by means of intelligent classification algorithm.
