Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of power electronic conversion, and in particular relates to a wireless charging system. Background Art

[0002] Wireless power transmission technology has received widespread attention in various fields such as electric vehicles, biomedicine, consumer electronics and underwater channels. Compared with the traditional plug-in charging method, wireless power transmission technology transfers electrical energy to the load through a magnetic field without the need for complex wire connections. Therefore, wireless power transmission is more convenient and safer.

[0003] The use time of electric vehicles depends on the capacity of the power battery. Large-capacity batteries are the basic requirement to ensure long-distance driving of electric vehicles. However, as the battery capacity increases, the time it takes to fully charge the battery will inevitably increase, and people's demand for fast full charging will become greater and greater. In recent years, the wireless charging technology of electric vehicles has been continuously developing. The wireless charging technology with power transmission capability is still a hot research topic, but due to the power rating of semiconductor components and the limitations of the internal installation space of electric vehicles, high-power wireless charging systems still face challenges. At present, the dual-coil wireless charging system with a single transmitter and a single receiver will increase the voltage or current stress of the diode in the rectifier on the receiver to achieve high power output, thereby increasing the cost. In addition, in practical applications, the battery of an electric vehicle has two charging stages, namely constant current charging and constant voltage charging. First, the battery is charged in constant current mode. During this process, the battery voltage continues to increase. When the battery voltage rises to a specified level, it switches to constant voltage mode to charge the battery. At this time, the charging current is gradually decreasing until it drops to near zero and the charging ends. During the entire charging process of the battery, the equivalent resistance of the battery changes greatly. Therefore, it is actually difficult to design a wireless charging system with constant current output and constant voltage output. Moreover, in order to improve charging efficiency and power transmission capacity and reduce switching losses, the input impedance of the inverter must be purely resistive or inductive during the entire charging process to achieve zero phase angle or zero voltage switching. Summary of the invention

[0028] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work belong to the scope of protection of the present invention. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present invention and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0029] Reference Figures 1 to 11 Specifically describe this embodiment. This embodiment describes a wireless charging system that can achieve constant current-constant voltage and power expansion. The two receivers are connected in parallel with the load connection end in the constant current working mode. In the constant voltage working mode, one receiver is used as voltage compensation and the other receiver is used to output voltage. There is mutual inductance between the coils of the transmitter and the two receivers.

[0030] The transmitter includes four MOSFET tubes (S1~S4), coil L1, compensation capacitor C1 and compensation capacitor C k , resistor R1 is the internal resistance of coil L1. S1 and S2 are connected in series to form a series group, and S3 and S4 are connected in series to form another series group. Both series groups are connected in parallel at both ends of the power supply. One end of coil L1 is connected to the connection point of S1 and S2, and the other end of coil L1 is connected to the connection point of S3 and S4. Compensation capacitor C1 and compensation capacitor C k Connected in series with coil L1, compensation capacitor C k A switch S is connected in parallel at both ends.

[0031] The receiver for outputting voltage (first receiver) includes: four diodes (D1 to D4), capacitor C2, capacitor C4 and coil L2, and resistor R2 is the internal resistance of coil L2. D1 and D2 are connected in series to form a diode group, and D3 and D4 are connected in series to form another diode group. Both diode groups and capacitor C4 are connected in parallel to the load connection terminal. One end of coil L2 is connected to the connection point of D1 and D2, and the other end of coil L2 is connected to the connection point of D3 and D4. Capacitor C2 is connected in series with coil L2.

[0032] The receiver (second receiver) used as voltage compensation includes: diode D5, diode D7, capacitor C3, capacitor C5, coil L3 and two MOSFET tubes (S5 and S6). D5 and S5 are connected in series to form one group, and D7 and S6 are connected in series to form another group. Both groups and capacitor C5 are connected in parallel with the load connection end. One end of coil L3 is connected to the connection point of D5 and S5, and the other end of coil L3 is connected to the connection point of D7 and S6. D6 and D8 are anti-parallel diodes inside S5 and S6 respectively. Capacitor C3 is connected in series with coil L3.

[0033] By adjusting the on or off of switch S and S5 and S6, the wireless charging system can be switched between constant voltage and constant current modes. Both working modes have soft switching technology, and in constant current working mode, dual receivers can transmit more energy than single receivers. Specifically:

[0034] The wireless charging system works in constant voltage mode, and the switch S is disconnected, so that the compensation capacitor C k When the MOSFET tubes S5 and S6 are turned on, the receiver used as voltage compensation is disconnected from the other receiver. The other receiver outputs voltage independently, and the input impedance is purely resistive, which satisfies the zero phase angle characteristic, reduces switching losses, and improves power transmission capability.

[0035] The wireless charging system works in constant current mode, the switch S is closed, and the compensation capacitor C k When the inverter is not working, MOSFET tubes S5 and S6 are turned off, and diodes D6 and D8 are working, so that the two receivers output voltage in parallel, which increases the output current and the power level. The input impedance of the inverter is inductive, realizing zero voltage switching.

[0036] In summary, dual receivers can effectively share the energy transmitted by the transmitter, that is, the current difference between the two receivers is not large, and the current on the two receivers does not need to be very large. Finally, the superposition of the two currents can also increase the power level to a certain extent. Compared with a single receiver, dual receivers have an additional energy transmission channel, and also reduce the current stress of the diode in the receiver.

[0037] According to the equivalent circuit of constant current charging mode Figure 3 Equivalent circuit of constant voltage charging mode Figure 5 Write the KVL equation and analyze the impedance network as follows:

[0038] The constant current mode is as follows:

[0054]

[0055] When A′=0,Z2=Z3=0:

[0056]

[0057] In formula (8), the output voltage is independent of the resistance, achieving constant voltage output, and the input impedance Z in It is purely resistive and achieves zero phase angle.

[0058] All the equations listed are used to design and optimize the circuit parameters. The most critical point is that the constant current charging mode and the constant voltage charging mode in this example work at the same switching frequency and with the same set of parameters. When the embodiment switches to the constant voltage working mode, the impedance network Z1 in the constant current working mode is changed so that the changed impedance network is equal to the impedance Z1′ in the constant voltage working mode, thereby ensuring that the two working modes operate under the same set of parameters. In this embodiment, a compensation capacitor C is added. k To complete, the specific operations are as follows:

[0059]

[0060] The added compensation capacitance C can be calculated by formula (9): k The value of the compensation capacitor C is switched by the switch to the constant current working mode. k When not working and in constant voltage working mode, the compensation capacitor C k work, so that the two working modes can be switched under the same set of parameters.

The first receiver and the second receiver share the energy transmitted by the transmitter, and the two receivers are connected in parallel to increase the output current and the output power. Compared with a single receiver, this embodiment increases the output power while reducing the current stress of the diode in the receiver.

[0064] In constant voltage charging mode, Figure 8 Figures (c) and (d) show the resistance R B =10Ω and R B =12Ω input voltage, input current, and output voltage V B The output voltage V B The resistor R B It is equal to 10Ω, and it is basically unchanged under 12Ω, and is constant at about 51.4V, achieving constant voltage output, and it is also zero phase angle, which improves the power output capacity.
