Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a measuring device and a measuring method for the charging efficiency of a wireless charging road surface, and belongs to the technical field of wireless charging. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, with the continuous increase in the ownership of new energy vehicles in China, the proportion of electric vehicles has been continuously expanding, and its endurance problem has become an important factor hindering the development of electric vehicles. At present, the main charging method for electric vehicles is various charging piles. However, such charging infrastructure has a long charging time, a large occupancy rate in urban space, and a high maintenance cost. Road wireless charging technology can provide electric energy for moving electric vehicles, achieve a breakthrough in the endurance mileage of electric vehicles, and support the national "dual carbon" goal. It is an important direction in the research of intelligent road surfaces.

[0003] Wireless charging technology is based on the principle of electromagnetic induction. The transmitting coil creates a high-frequency alternating magnetic field in space. Since the magnetic flux passing through the coil is constantly changing, an induced current is generated in the receiving coil to charge the battery. The defect of inductive charging technology is that the transmission distance is limited and cannot meet the needs of road charging. Therefore, magnetic resonance wireless charging technology is the most feasible solution for realizing road wireless charging. Magnetic resonance wireless charging technology is achieved through the resonance of the transmitting-side resonant circuit and the receiving-side resonant circuit of the magnetic coupling resonator. The charging system includes a transmitting-side conversion circuit, a transmitting-side compensation circuit, a transmitting coil, a receiving coil, a receiving-side compensation circuit, and a receiving-side conversion circuit. The magnetic resonance wireless charging system has the advantages of being unrestricted by wires, having a relatively long transmission distance, and less magnetic leakage, and has a relatively wide application prospect in the field of wireless charging.

[0004] At present, most of the research on road wireless charging is focused on the design and optimization of the coil structure, and less exploration has been carried out on the influence of road materials on wireless charging and improvement methods. Road materials will generate magnetization phenomena in the electromagnetic field, and the formed small magnetic field will affect the coupling of the wireless charging coil, thereby affecting the power transmission efficiency. Existing research uses simulation software to detect the coupling strength of the coil and the influence of road materials on the power transmission efficiency, lacking a detection device that can match the road state during actual application. Moreover, when the wireless charging system is applied to the road, it is affected by factors such as road moisture content, road surface temperature, and the burial depth of the coil. The simulation software cannot reflect the power transmission state during actual application. And existing experimental simulations are mostly static simulations and cannot reflect the charging state when an electric vehicle is moving.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to build a detection device that fits the actual situation and can accurately detect the charging efficiency of the wireless charging road surface. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The object of the present invention is to solve the problems that there is a lack of a detection device that can match the road conditions during actual application, and the existing simulation software cannot reflect the power transmission state during actual application and the charging state when an electric vehicle is traveling, and to propose a measurement device and a measurement method for the charging efficiency of a wireless charging road surface.

[0007] A measurement device for the charging efficiency of a wireless charging road surface includes: a transmitting track, a road surface track, a receiving track, a transmitting circuit structure, a receiving circuit structure, a test trolley, a road surface module, a support lifting hydraulic rod, a console, a height controller, a height display screen, a speed controller, a speed display screen, and a test display screen;

[0008] The road surface track is placed above the transmitting track and the center lines are aligned;

[0009] The receiving track is placed above the road surface track and the center lines are aligned;

[0010] The transmitting track is used to place the primary coil in the transmitting circuit structure;

[0011] The road surface track is used to place the asphalt road surface;

[0012] The receiving track is used to place the receiving circuit structure and the test trolley;

[0013] The receiving track and the road surface track are connected to the transmitting track through a support lifting hydraulic rod;

[0014] The road surface module is placed on the straight section of the road surface track;

[0015] The console houses the DC power supply, the inverter circuit, the resonant circuit in the transmitting circuit structure, and the height controller, the height display screen, the speed controller, the speed display screen, and the test display screen are set.

[0016] A measurement method for the charging efficiency of a wireless charging road surface is specifically as follows:

[0017] Step 1: Place the DC power supply, the inverter circuit, and the resonant circuit of the transmitting circuit structure in the console;

[0018] The DC power supply of the transmitting circuit structure is connected to the power supply button and the power-off button of the console through wires;

[0019] Arrange the primary coils in the transmitting circuit structure at equal intervals on the straight section of the transmitting track;

[0020] Use a rut tester to prepare a rut plate, cut the rut plate to the same width as the road surface track to form a road surface module;

[0021] Arrange the road surface module on the straight section of the road surface track. Connect the rechargeable battery with zero power to the receiving circuit structure and the test trolley. Place the receiving circuit structure and the test trolley on the receiving track to prepare for testing;

[0022] Step 2: Turn on the power supply of the supporting lifting hydraulic rod;

[0023] Lower the road surface track to a height close to the primary coil on the transmitting track through the height controller of the console to simulate the working state of the road wireless charging coil;

[0024] Adjust the height between the receiving track and the road surface track through the height controller of the console to simulate the ground clearance of the electric vehicle; at this time, the height display screen shows the height data between the receiving track and the road surface track;

[0025] Step 3: Supply power to the transmitting circuit structure through the power supply button on the console. The primary coil in the transmitting circuit structure generates a magnetic field;

[0026] Control the speed of the receiving circuit structure and the test trolley through the speed controller on the console. At this time, the speed display screen shows the speed data of the test trolley. The receiving circuit structure and the test trolley move at a constant speed on the receiving track. When the receiving circuit structure and the test trolley pass through the straight section of the receiving track, the secondary coil of the receiving circuit structure and the test trolley is affected by the magnetic field emitted by the primary coil in the transmitting circuit structure on the transmitting track, generating an induced current to charge the rechargeable battery;

[0027] Step 4: Record the voltage and current of the primary coil and the test time on the test display screen. Combine the power, rated voltage of the rechargeable battery on the receiving circuit structure and the test trolley, the total length of the receiving track, and the length of the straight section of the receiving track to calculate the charging efficiency of the dynamic wireless charging road surface.

[0028] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0029] The present invention aims to improve the authenticity and accuracy of the evaluation of the charging efficiency of the wireless charging road surface in existing simulation studies and static tests, and build a device for the wireless charging road surface applicable to laboratory use and measuring the charging efficiency.

[0030] The present invention provides a measuring device for the charging efficiency of a wireless charging road surface, which is used to solve the problem that finite element simulation and static charging tests cannot reflect the charging efficiency fluctuations caused by factors such as vehicle speed, road moisture content, road surface temperature, and road surface layer thickness during the actual use of the wireless charging road surface. The present invention designs three-layer tracks to simulate the state during actual road use. Different types of coils can be placed on the transmitting track; asphalt pavements with different gradations and different thicknesses can be set on the road surface track according to test requirements, and at the same time, by changing different temperatures and humidities, the charging efficiency of wireless charging roads in different climate zones can be simulated; the speed of the trolley on the receiving track can be adjusted to simulate the wireless charging efficiency at different vehicle speeds. At the same time, the test steps of the present invention are simple. The charging structures are arranged at intervals on the transmitting track, and the asphalt pavements are arranged continuously on the road surface track. The power supply can be turned on for testing by lowering the road surface track and the receiving track to the required positions. In addition, the structure proposed by the present invention has a low cost, saving the test cost. Description of the Drawings

In a wireless charging pavement, transmitting coils are arranged at different depths of the pavement surface layer. The greater the transmission distance, the lower the energy transmission efficiency. At the same time, due to the different magnetization properties of asphalt and stone materials, different interfaces formed by asphalt and stone materials in the asphalt mixture will refract and reflect magnetic lines, reducing the coil coupling coefficient and the electric energy transmission efficiency. By changing the gradation of the asphalt mixture and the pavement thickness, the wireless charging efficiency under different asphalt mixture gradations and coil burial depths can be simulated.

[0124] Different from static charging, when an electric vehicle is charging while moving forward, affected by the horizontal offset between the primary coil and the secondary coil, the charging efficiency will change.

[0185] A method for measuring the charging efficiency of a wireless charging road surface specifically includes the following process:

[0186] Step 1: Place the DC power supply, inverter circuit, and resonant circuit of the transmitting circuit structure 4 in the console 8;

[0187] The DC power supply of the transmitting circuit structure 4 is connected to the power supply button and power-off button of the console 8 through wires;

[0188] Arrange the primary coils in the transmitting circuit structure 4 at equal intervals on the straight road section of the launching track 1;

[0189] In a road laboratory, use a rutting tester to prepare a rutting plate (asphalt road surface, and the road laboratory has a rutting tester that can form a rutting plate of 305×305×50 mm). Cut the rutting plate to the same width as the road surface track 2 to form a road surface module 6;

[0190] Closely arrange the road surface module 6 on the straight road section of the road surface track 2. Connect a rechargeable battery with zero charge to the receiving circuit structure and the test trolley 5, and place the receiving circuit structure and the test trolley 5 on the receiving track 3 to prepare for testing;

[0191] Step 2: Turn on the power supply of the supporting lifting hydraulic rod 7;

[0192] Lower the road surface track 2 to a height close to the primary coil on the launching track 1 through the height controller 9 of the console 8 to simulate the working state of the road wireless charging coil;

[0193] Adjust the heights of the receiving track 3 and the road surface track 2 to the test required height through the height controller 9 of the console 8 to simulate the ground clearance of an electric vehicle; at this time, the height display screen 10 shows the height data between the receiving track 3 and the road surface track 2;

[0194] Step 3: Power on the transmitting circuit structure 4 through the power supply button of the console 8, and the primary coil in the transmitting circuit structure 4 generates a magnetic field;

[0195] Control the speed of the receiving circuit structure and the test trolley 5 through the speed controller 11 on the console 8, and adjust it to the speed required for the test. At this time, the speed display screen 12 shows the speed data of the test trolley. The receiving circuit structure and the test trolley 5 move at a constant speed on the receiving track 3. When the receiving circuit structure and the test trolley 5 pass through the straight section of the receiving track 3, the secondary coil of the receiving circuit structure and the test trolley 5 is affected by the magnetic field emitted by the primary coil in the transmitting circuit structure 4 on the transmitting track 1, generating an induced current to charge the rechargeable battery.

[0196] Since the primary coils of the transmitting track 1 are arranged at equal distance intervals, when the receiving circuit structure and the test trolley 5 pass through the straight section of the receiving track 3, it realizes the dynamic charging of an actual electric vehicle on the road.

[0197] Step 4: Record the voltage and current of the primary coil and the test time on the test display screen 13, and calculate the charging efficiency of the dynamic wireless charging road surface in combination with the power, rated voltage of the rechargeable battery on the receiving circuit structure and the test trolley 5, the total length of the receiving track 3, and the straight track length of the receiving track 3.

[0198] The calculation formula for the charging efficiency of the dynamic wireless charging road surface is:

[0199]

[0200]

[0201]

[0202]

[0203]

[0204] Among them, φ is the power of the rechargeable battery, in mAh; γ is the total converted power of the rechargeable battery, in Wh; U is the rated voltage of the rechargeable battery; t is the charging duration, in min; T is the converted charging duration, in h; l is the straight track length of the receiving track 3; L is the total length of the receiving track 3; W in is the power of the receiving end of the test trolley; W out is the power (transmission power) generated by the magnetic field of the primary coil of the transmitting circuit 4 on the transmitting track 1; η is the charging efficiency of the wireless charging road surface.

[0205] Example 1:

[0206] The driving speed of the electric vehicle is 40 km / h = 11.11 m / s. The road wireless charging modules are arranged at intervals of 5 m. The time for the electric vehicle to pass each charging module is 0.45 s. The coils on the transmitting track are arranged at intervals of 0.15 m on the straight road section. The speed of the trolley can be set to 0.33 m / s to simulate the vehicle speed of 40 km / h.

[0207] The length of the straight section of the receiving track is 0.7 m, the length of the curved section is 0.785 m, and the total length of the track is 2.97 m. The time for the test trolley to travel one week is 8.91 s, and the travel time on the straight road section is 4.2 s. It can be considered that the charging duration for the test trolley to travel one circle is 4.2 s.

[0208] In the simulation test, the inner diameter of the transmitting coil is 1 cm, the outer diameter is 10 cm, and they are arranged at intervals of 15 cm on the straight road section of the transmitting track. The size of the receiving coil is the same as that of the transmitting coil.

[0209] The receiving end of the test trolley is connected to a 3600 mAh rechargeable battery that has exhausted its power. The set transmitting power is 45 W, the static power of the receiving end is 36.45 W, the height between the road track and the receiving track is 4 cm. The time required to fully charge the rechargeable battery at a static power of 36.45 W is 7 min 6 s.

[0210] Since the horizontal offset of the coil will cause a change in the received power, after the horizontal offset test, dynamic charging starts when the axis of the receiving coil is half of the outer diameter of the receiving coil, that is, 5 cm away from the axis of the transmitting coil. In the actual measurement of dynamic charging, with a 4 cm air gap, the test trolley travels at a constant speed of 40 km / h. It takes 22 min 42 s to fully charge the 3600 mAh battery. Since the test trolley has actual charging behavior only on the straight track, the actual dynamic charging duration is 10 min 42 s. The average received power of dynamic charging is 24.22 W, and the dynamic charging efficiency is 53.83%.

[0211] The present invention may also have many other embodiments. Without departing from the spirit and essence of the present invention, those skilled in the art can make various corresponding changes and deformations according to the present invention. However, these corresponding changes and deformations should all fall within the protection scope of the claims attached to the present invention.
