[0027] Example 1

[0028] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a vehicle position detection method is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart in the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions. Furthermore, although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be executed in a different order than that shown here.

[0029] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a vehicle position detection method according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0030] Step S102: Control the ground coil of the wireless charging pile to charge the vehicle and obtain the charging parameters of the vehicle during the charging process. The charging parameters include: the first input current input to the ground coil, the second input current input to the vehicle-side rectifier bridge, and the resonant network impedance designed for the vehicle-side equipment.

[0031] The aforementioned wireless charging pile ground coil can be a ground coil used in a ground charging pile for wirelessly charging vehicles. The wireless charging pile can be any type of ground charging pile capable of aligning with and wirelessly charging a vehicle; its specific type is not limited in this embodiment. Similarly, the aforementioned vehicle can be any type of vehicle capable of aligning with and charging via the wireless charging pile; its specific type is not limited in this embodiment.

[0032] In one optional embodiment, when the vehicle needs charging, it can first be aligned with a wireless charging station. Upon successful alignment, the vehicle can be charged via the wireless charging station's ground coil using the wireless charging system. At this time, charging parameters of the vehicle during the charging process can be obtained in the wireless charging system. These parameters may include, but are not limited to: a first input current input to the ground coil, and a second input current I input to the vehicle-side rectifier bridge. rec And the resonant network impedance of the vehicle-side equipment design.

In this system, the system adopts an LCC compensation topology with double-sided series inductors, parallel capacitors and series capacitors. LCC stands for inductor-capacitor-capacitor.

[0034] Step S104: Based on the charging parameters, determine the mutual inductance value between the vehicle-side coil and the ground-side coil of the wireless charging pile.

[0035] In one optional embodiment, after obtaining the charging parameters, the mutual inductance value between the vehicle-end coil and the ground-end coil can be calculated based on the charging parameters. For example, the quotient of the first input current and the second input current can be obtained, and then the product of the quotient and the resonant network impedance can be obtained to get the mutual inductance value, but it is not limited to this. Alternatively, the product of the first input current and the resonant network impedance can be obtained to get a first product, and then the quotient of the first product and the second input current can be obtained to get the mutual inductance value.

[0036] Step S106: Real-time detection of vehicle position based on mutual inductance value to obtain vehicle position detection result, wherein the detection result is used to characterize whether the vehicle is located within the preset charging area of ​​the wireless charging pile.

[0037] The aforementioned preset charging area can be a charging area set in advance by the user to indicate whether the vehicle and the wireless charging station are accurately aligned.

A comparison result can be obtained where the mutual inductance value is less than or equal to the preset mutual inductance value, or where the mutual inductance value is greater than the preset mutual inductance value. When the comparison result is that the mutual inductance value is less than or equal to the preset mutual inductance value, it indicates that the vehicle is outside the preset charging area of ​​the wireless charging station, meaning the vehicle and the wireless charging station are not accurately aligned. When the comparison result is that the mutual inductance value is greater than the preset mutual inductance value, it indicates that the vehicle is within the preset charging area of ​​the wireless charging station, meaning the vehicle and the wireless charging station are accurately aligned.

Based on the charging parameters, the mutual inductance value between the vehicle's vehicle-side coil and the ground coil of the wireless charging pile is determined. The vehicle position is then detected in real time based on the mutual inductance value to obtain the vehicle position detection result. It is easy to note that by acquiring the first input current, the second input current, and the resonant network impedance, the mutual inductance can be actively corrected, thereby improving the accuracy and consistency of the mutual inductance estimation. This achieves the goal of accurately detecting the mutual inductance during vehicle alignment, thus improving the technical effect of improving the detection accuracy of mutual inductance during vehicle alignment, and solving the technical problem of low detection accuracy of mutual inductance during vehicle alignment in related technologies.

[0040] Optionally, determining the mutual inductance value between the vehicle-side coil and the wireless charging pile ground coil based on charging parameters includes: compensating the resonant network impedance based on a first preset relationship to obtain a target impedance, wherein the first preset relationship is used to characterize the mutual inductance difference between the resonant network impedance and the target impedance at different charging frequencies; determining the vehicle-side resonant parameters at different charging frequencies based on the target impedance and a first preset coefficient; compensating the first input current based on a second preset relationship to obtain a first target current, wherein the second preset relationship is used to characterize the current difference between the first input current and the actual input current at different mutual inductance values; and determining the mutual inductance value based on the first target current, the second input current, and the resonant parameters.

The mutual inductance difference between the resonant network impedance and the target impedance differs at different charging frequencies. The first target current mentioned above can be the actual input current of the vehicle-end coil during charging. The second preset relationship mentioned above can be set by the user in advance, reflecting the preset relationship of the current difference between the first input current and the actual input current at the same mutual inductance value. The current difference between the first input current and the actual input current differs at different mutual inductance values.

For example, the quotient of the second input current and the first target current can be obtained, then the absolute value of the quotient can be taken, then the absolute value of the resonant parameters can be obtained, and finally the product of the two absolute values ​​can be obtained to determine the mutual inductance value.

[0044] Optionally, the target impedance includes: a first target impedance, a second target impedance, and a third target impedance, wherein the first target impedance is the impedance of the vehicle's first inductor, first capacitor, and second capacitor; the second target impedance is the impedance of the vehicle's second inductor and second capacitor; and the third target impedance is the impedance of the second capacitor. Based on the target impedance and a first preset coefficient, the vehicle's resonance parameters are determined, including: obtaining the product of the first target impedance and the second target impedance to obtain a first product; obtaining the square of the third target impedance to obtain a first squared value; obtaining the difference between the first product and the first squared value to obtain a first difference; obtaining the product of the third target impedance and the first preset coefficient to obtain a second product; obtaining the quotient of the first difference and the second product to obtain a first quotient; and obtaining the absolute value of the first quotient to obtain the resonance parameters.

[0045] Figure 2 This is a circuit diagram of an optional wireless charging system according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the system includes a ground assembly (GA) and a vehicle assembly (VA), wherein the vehicle assembly includes: a first inductor L va Second inductor L f_va First capacitor C va Second capacitor C f_va First resistor R va Diodes D1, D2, D3, and D4; transistors Q1 and Q2; and battery V. batt The ground terminal includes: the third capacitor C. f_ga Fourth capacitor C ga Third inductor L ga Fourth inductor L f_ga Second resistor R ga Diodes D5, D6, D7, D8, Q3, Q4, Q5, Q6, and the DC bus V bus A mutual inductance value M will be generated between the ground end and the vehicle end. (This is due to...) Figure 2 It can be seen that I ga I is the first target current input to the ground terminal coil. rec This is the second input current input to the vehicle-end coil.

[0046] It should be noted that the ground end mentioned above refers to the wireless charging station, and the vehicle end refers to the vehicle.

[0047] In an alternative embodiment, the first target impedance X1 can be obtained by the following formula:

[0053] In another alternative embodiment, the resonance parameter K can be obtained by the following formula:

[0054]

[0055] Optionally, the mutual inductance value is determined based on the first target current, the second input current, and the resonance parameter, including: obtaining the absolute value of the first target current to obtain a first absolute value, and obtaining the absolute value of the second input current to obtain a second absolute value; obtaining the quotient of the second absolute value and the first absolute value to obtain a second quotient; and obtaining the product of the second quotient and the resonance parameter to obtain the mutual inductance value.

[0059] The aforementioned second preset coefficient can be a constant value set by the user in advance to determine the first input current. The specific value is not limited in this embodiment, and the user can set it according to actual needs. In this embodiment, 0.9 is used as an example, but it is not limited to this.

[0060] In an alternative embodiment, the fourth target impedance can be obtained using the following formula:

[0061]

[0062] In another optional embodiment, after obtaining the DC bus voltage and the fourth target impedance, the first input current can be obtained based on the DC bus voltage, the fourth target impedance, and the second preset coefficient. For example, the product of the DC bus voltage and the second preset coefficient can be obtained, followed by the absolute value of the product and the absolute value of the fourth target impedance. Finally, the quotient of the absolute value of the product and the absolute value of the fourth target impedance can be obtained, which gives the first input current.

[0066] Optionally, the vehicle is detected based on the mutual inductance value to obtain the vehicle detection result, including: judging the mutual inductance value based on a preset threshold to obtain a judgment result, wherein the judgment result is used to characterize whether the mutual inductance value is less than or equal to the preset threshold; in response to the judgment result that the mutual inductance value is less than or equal to the preset threshold, determining that the detection result is that the vehicle is outside the preset charging area of ​​the wireless charging pile; in response to the judgment result that the mutual inductance value is greater than the preset threshold, determining that the detection result is that the vehicle is within the preset charging area of ​​the wireless charging pile.

[0067] In one optional embodiment, when the judgment result is that the mutual inductance value is less than or equal to a preset threshold, it can be determined that the detection result is that the vehicle is outside the preset charging area of ​​the wireless charging pile, that is, the vehicle and the wireless charging pile are not accurately aligned; when the comparison result is that the mutual inductance value is greater than the preset threshold, it indicates that the vehicle is within the preset charging area of ​​the wireless charging pile, that is, the vehicle and the wireless charging pile are accurately aligned.

[0068] This invention proposes a method for estimating mutual inductance under frequency conversion, and also provides a scheme for compensating mutual inductance after device parameter shifts.

[0069] The formula for calculating mutual inductance is as follows:

[0070]

[0071] When calculating mutual inductance using the above formula, only the parameters of the resonant network at the VA end need to be known, and the resonant parameters at the GA end do not need to be known.

[0072] According to the above formula, I ga This will affect the accuracy of mutual inductance calculations. To obtain an accurate current value, a current transformer can be used to directly measure the current in the coil. However, if it is not possible to sample the current in the GA coil using hardware, I can be obtained indirectly through mathematical calculations. ga Actual value.

[0073] There are two mathematical calculation models. The first is based on existing state-space equations, which will not be elaborated in this embodiment. The second is a simplified model using the following formula:

[0074]

[0075] Based on existing parameters, when the system is at its rated frequency of 85.5kHz and the DC bus voltage at the GA terminal is 400V, I ga This corresponds to 32.5A. The state-space equations and the aforementioned I... ga The calculation results for different frequencies corresponding to the calculation formula are as follows: Figure 3 As shown. Figure 3 This is an optional mutual inductance value according to an embodiment of the present invention, which varies with I. ga A schematic diagram of the changing calibration, as shown below. Figure 3 As shown, the horizontal axis represents the mutual inductance value M, and the vertical axis represents I. ga The values ​​on the horizontal axis are expressed in scientific notation. The actual value on the horizontal axis is the number on the axis multiplied by 10 to the power of 4. The horizontal line represents the target current value, i.e., I at the rated frequency of 85.5kHz. ga The coil current value, extending within the effective frequency band, shows an upward curve representing the accurate I corresponding to different mutual inductance values ​​calculated based on the state-space equation. ga The descending curve represents the I corresponding to different mutual inductance values ​​calculated using the calculation formula according to an embodiment of the present invention. ga As can be seen, when the frequency changes, the I corresponding to the same voltage... ga Significant changes will occur.

Figure 3 The result is to actively conduct I ga Compensation ensures that the calculated results are consistent with the actual results.

[0076] Because of I rec This is the current at the input side of the rectifier on the vehicle side. The sampling circuit is easy to implement and can be directly integrated into the power control board on the vehicle side. Therefore, I rec It is considered reliable. Based on the mutual inductance calculation formula above, it can be seen that only K in the formula needs to be calculated and compensated for to ensure accuracy. The result is as follows... Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4This is a schematic diagram of an optional mutual inductance compensation calibration according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the horizontal axis represents frequency, and the vertical axis represents mutual inductance M. All values ​​on both axes are expressed in scientific notation. The unit for the horizontal axis is 10 kHz, and the unit for the vertical axis is... μ H, the thin solid line curve is the accurate M obtained from the state-space equation, and the dashed line curve is the I under different frequencies. ga The current is controlled to 32A, and the calculated M is shown by the thick solid line curve, which represents M obtained by ignoring the influence of frequency variation on the resonant network at the VA terminal, i.e., by using the mutual inductance calculation formula in the prior art. It can be seen that ignoring frequency variation will cause a significant deviation in the mutual inductance result. Therefore, corresponding compensation can be made according to the mutual inductance calculation formula of this invention.

Figure 5 As shown, I was calculated. ga Then, the GA-end compensation algorithm can be used to adjust I. ga Compensation is performed to obtain the actual I. ga Then, the actual I can be compensated using the VA-end compensation algorithm. ga I rec By calculating the sampled values, operating frequency, and resonance parameters at the VA terminal, the mutual inductance value, or M value, can be obtained.

Figure 7 As shown, the system includes multiple ground charging piles and multiple vehicles. Through the vehicle detection method of the present invention, the goal of accurately aligning any vehicle with any ground charging pile can be achieved.

[0088] According to the recommended method of the present invention, a practical wireless charging system for electric vehicles is calculated. The basic configuration of the system is: G coil self-inductance 40uH, VA coil self-inductance 50uH, and ground-end compensation network parameters L. f_ga =20.6uH, C f_ga =168.2nF, C ga =163nF, the on-board compensation network parameter is L f_va =15.4uH, C f_va =226nF, C va =100nF.
