FC Filter capacitor C dc, Load element Load, resistor R1, resistor R2, switch S1, switch S2, switch S3 and switch S4;

[0015] A method for applying a modulator to a multilevel wireless charging system includes:

[0016] Step 1: Set the initial output voltage δ FC-SDM The input multilevel modulator and the state machine feedback signal y are subtracted and then passed through a proportional circuit.

[0017] Step 2: Based on the integrator, the output signal of the proportional circuit is shaped and filtered to convert it into signal e;

[0020] Step 5: Use the output signals S1 and S2 of the finite state machine as the switching drive signals of the inverter to obtain three output types: full step signal, half step signal and hold signal, so as to realize the soft switching operation of the transmitter inverter.

[0021] Optionally, the initial output voltage δ in step one FC-SDM The calculation formula is:

[0022]

[0023] In formula (1), N 1S N is the number of half-cycles of a full step jump. 0.5S N represents the number of half-cycles of a half-step jump. 0S The number of half-cycles during which the level is maintained.

[0024] Optionally, in step three, the external signal sign is the direction signal of the inverter output current. sign is the two values ​​1 and -1 corresponding to the direction of the inverter output current, and is inverted every half resonance cycle.

[0025] The external signal k is the voltage balance signal of the flying capacitor.

[0026] Optionally, the value of the digital output y in step four is one of 1, 0.5, and 0, where 1, 0.5, and 0 correspond to the three output types of full step signal, half step signal, and hold signal, respectively.

[0027] Optionally, step five may involve obtaining three output types: full step signal, half step signal, and hold signal.

[0028] If the finite state machine is in the "00" state (both switches S1 and S2 are open), and the input signal i < 0.25, the state remains unchanged, and the output type is a hold signal. During the path transition, when the signal 0.25 ≤ i ≤ 0.75 and k > 0, the finite state machine changes from the "00" state (both switches S1 and S2 are open) to the "01" state (switching S1 is open and switching S2 is closed), and the output type is a half-step signal. During the path transition, when the signal 0.25 ≤ i ≤ 0.75 and k < 0, the finite state machine changes from the "00" state (both switches S1 and S2 are open) to the "10" state (switching S1 is closed and switching S2 is open), and the output type is a half-step signal. During the path transition, when the signal i > 0.75, the finite state machine changes from the "00" state (both switches S1 and S2 are open) to the "11" state (both switches S1 and S2 are closed), and the output type is a full-step signal.

[0029] If the finite state machine is in the "01" state (switches S1 open, S2 closed), and the input signal |i|≤0.25 and k>0, the state remains unchanged, and the output type is a hold signal. During the path transition, when the signal i<-0.25, the finite state machine changes from the "01" state (switches S1 open, S2 closed) to the "00" state (switches S1 and S2 both open), and the output type is a half-step signal. During the path transition, when the signal i>0.25, the finite state machine changes from the "01" state (switches S1 open, S2 closed) to the "11" state (switches S1 and S2 both closed), and the output type is a half-step signal. During the path transition, when the signal |i|≤0.25 and k<0, the finite state machine changes from the "01" state (switches S1 open, S2 closed) to the "10" state (switches S1 closed, S2 open), and the output type is a hold signal.

[0030] If the finite state machine is in state "11" with both switches S1 and S2 closed, and the input signal i > -0.25, the state remains unchanged, and the output type is a hold signal. During the path transition, when the signal -0.75 ≤ i ≤ -0.25 and k > 0, the finite state machine transitions from state "11" with both switches S1 and S2 closed to state "01" with switch S1 open and switch S2 closed, and the output type is a half-step signal. During the path transition, when the signal -0.75 ≤ i ≤ -0.25 and k < 0, the finite state machine transitions from state "11" with both switches S1 and S2 closed to state "10" with switch S1 closed and switch S2 open, and the output type is a half-step signal. During the path transition, when the signal i < -0.75, the finite state machine transitions from state "11" with both switches S1 and S2 closed to state "00" with both switches S1 and S2 open, and the output type is a full-step signal.

[0031] If the finite state machine is in state "10" (switches S1 closed, S2 open), and the input signal |i|≤0.25 and k<0, the state remains unchanged, and the output type is a hold signal. During the path transition, when the signal i>0.25, the finite state machine changes from state "10" (switches S1 closed, S2 open) to state "11" (switches S1 and S2 both closed), and the output type is a half-step signal. During the path transition, when the signal i<-0.25, the finite state machine changes from state "10" (switches S1 closed, S2 open) to state "00" (switches S1 and S2 both open), and the output type is a half-step signal. During the path transition, when the signal |i|≤0.25 and k>0, the finite state machine changes from state "10" (switches S1 closed, S2 open) to state "01" (switches S1 open, S2 closed), and the signal type is a hold signal.

[0032] Optionally, during the signal step process, the step direction of the signal is consistent with the current transformation direction.

[0033] Optionally, the calculation steps for the external signal k include:

[0034] Step 3.1: Determine whether the states of switches S1 and S2 in the finite state machine are the same. If they are, then k = 1; otherwise, proceed to step 3.2.

[0035] Step 3.2: Determine whether switch S1 is closed. If it is closed, calculate the value of Q according to Q = Q - sign. If Q = 0, determine whether r is greater than 0.5. If it is greater, k = 1. If it is less than, k = -1. If Q ≠ 0, give the value of k according to the sign at the current time.

[0036] Step 3.3: If switch S1 is in the open state, calculate the value of Q according to Q = Q + sign. If Q = 0, determine whether r is greater than 0.5. If it is greater, then k = 1. If it is less than, then k = -1. If Q ≠ 0, then give the value of k according to the sign at the current moment. Wherein, Q is the balance flag bit, the initial value is 0, the value of Q is the difference between the number of charging cycles and the number of discharging cycles, and r is a random number uniformly distributed in the range of 0 to 1.

[0048] Specific implementation method one: Combining Figure 1 and Figure 2 This implementation method is described as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the structure of a modulator for a multi-level wireless charging system according to this embodiment includes:

[0049] Proportional circuits, integrators, multipliers, finite state machines, delay circuits, and microcontrollers;

[0050] The microcontroller is used to provide external signals sign and k.

[0051] The initial voltage δ of the inverter FC-SDM The input multilevel soft-switching modulator, proportional circuit, and integrator will input δ FC-SDM The output e is obtained by integrating the finite state machine feedback signal y.

[0052] The multiplier multiplies the signal e with the signal sign to obtain the input i of the state machine;

[0053] Finite state machines are used to quantize input signal i in conjunction with an external signal k;

[0054] The delay element is used to control the signal triggering time.

[0055] like Figure 2 As shown, the modulator is compensated by the applied wireless charging system into a string-to-string compensation network topology, including:

[0056] Primary coil L1, secondary coil L2, primary compensation capacitor C1, secondary compensation capacitor C2, flying capacitor C FC Filter capacitor C dc , Load element Load, resistor R1, resistor R2, switch S1, switch S2, switch S3 and switch S4;

[0057] The primary coil L1, resistor R1, and primary compensation capacitor C1 are connected in series, and the flying capacitor C... FC It is connected in parallel with switches S2 and S3, and in series with switches S1 and S4;

[0058] The secondary-side compensation capacitor C2 and resistor R2 are connected in series.

[0059] Filter capacitor C dc It is connected in parallel with the load element.

[0060] Specific Implementation Method Two: Combining Figure 3-6 This embodiment will now be described, and the steps of an application method for a modulator in a multi-level wireless charging system according to this embodiment include:

[0061] S1: Set the initial output voltage δ FC-SDM The input multilevel modulator is subtracted from the state machine feedback signal y, and then passed through a proportional circuit.

[0062] like Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 It is the input δ FC-SDM =0.6 and δ FC-SDM The inverter output voltage and current are as follows when the current is 0.4. The inverter output voltage can be expressed as:

[0063]

[0064] In formula (1), N 1S N is the number of half-cycles of a full step jump. 0.5S N represents the number of half-cycles of a half-step jump. 0S The number of half-cycles during which the level is maintained.

[0065] S2: Based on the integrator, the output signal of the proportional circuit is shaped and filtered to convert it into signal e;

[0066] S3: The microcontroller provides external signals sign and k, and uses the multiplier to multiply the external signals sign and k to obtain signal i;

[0067] Both sign and k are external signals generated by the microcontroller. Sign is the direction signal of the inverter output current, with two values, 1 and -1. It is inverted every half resonance cycle to satisfy the constraints of the FC-SDM modulation method. k is the flying capacitor voltage balance signal.

[0068] S4: Based on the finite state machine and combined with the external signal k, the signal i is quantized to obtain digital outputs S1, S2, and y. The signal y is used as a feedback quantity and the next input δ. FC-SDM Combine;

[0069] like Figure 3 As shown, the four effective operating modes of the flying capacitor inverter can be represented by the states of S1 and S2, where "1" represents that either S1 or S2 switch is closed and the complementary switch is open, and "0" represents the opposite. Figure 3As shown, there are a total of 4 states. In order to improve the power factor, FC-SDM modulation needs to follow a constraint: the step direction of the step signal must be consistent with the current transformation direction.

[0070] The value of the digital output y is one of 1, 0.5 and 0, where 1, 0.5 and 0 correspond to the three output types of full step signal, half step signal and hold signal, respectively.

[0071] S5: Use the output signals S1 and S2 of the finite state machine as the switching drive signals of the inverter to obtain three output types: full step signal, half step signal and hold signal, so as to realize the soft switching operation of the transmitter inverter.

[0072] like Figure 5 As shown, if the finite state machine is in the "00" state where both switches S1 and S2 are open, and the input signal i < 0.25, the state remains unchanged, and the output type is a hold signal. During the path transition, when the signal 0.25 ≤ i ≤ 0.75 and k > 0, the finite state machine changes from the "00" state where both switches S1 and S2 are open to the "01" state where switch S1 is open and switch S2 is closed, and the output type is a half-step signal. During the path transition, when the signal 0.25 ≤ i ≤ 0.75 and k < 0, the finite state machine changes from the "00" state where both switches S1 and S2 are open to the "10" state where switch S1 is closed and switch S2 is open, and the output type is a half-step signal. During the path transition, when the signal i > 0.75, the finite state machine changes from the "00" state where both switches S1 and S2 are open to the "11" state where both switches S1 and S2 are closed, and the output type is a full-step signal.

[0073] If the finite state machine is in the "01" state (switches S1 open, S2 closed), and the input signal |i|≤0.25 and k>0, the state remains unchanged, and the output type is a hold signal. During the path transition, when the signal i<-0.25, the finite state machine changes from the "01" state (switches S1 open, S2 closed) to the "00" state (switches S1 and S2 both open), and the output type is a half-step signal. During the path transition, when the signal i>0.25, the finite state machine changes from the "01" state (switches S1 open, S2 closed) to the "11" state (switches S1 and S2 both closed), and the output type is a half-step signal. During the path transition, when the signal |i|≤0.25 and k<0, the finite state machine changes from the "01" state (switches S1 open, S2 closed) to the "10" state (switches S1 closed, S2 open), and the output type is a hold signal.

[0074] If the finite state machine is in state "11" with both switches S1 and S2 closed, and the input signal i > -0.25, the state remains unchanged, and the output type is a hold signal. During the path transition, when the signal -0.75 ≤ i ≤ -0.25 and k > 0, the finite state machine transitions from state "11" with both switches S1 and S2 closed to state "01" with switch S1 open and switch S2 closed, and the output type is a half-step signal. During the path transition, when the signal -0.75 ≤ i ≤ -0.25 and k < 0, the finite state machine transitions from state "11" with both switches S1 and S2 closed to state "10" with switch S1 closed and switch S2 open, and the output type is a half-step signal. During the path transition, when the signal i < -0.75, the finite state machine transitions from state "11" with both switches S1 and S2 closed to state "00" with both switches S1 and S2 open, and the output type is a full-step signal.

[0075] If the finite state machine is in state "10" (switches S1 closed, S2 open), and the input signal |i|≤0.25 and k<0, the state remains unchanged, and the output type is a hold signal. During the path transition, when the signal i>0.25, the finite state machine changes from state "10" (switches S1 closed, S2 open) to state "11" (switches S1 and S2 both closed), and the output type is a half-step signal. During the path transition, when the signal i<-0.25, the finite state machine changes from state "10" (switches S1 closed, S2 open) to state "00" (switches S1 and S2 both open), and the output type is a half-step signal. During the path transition, when the signal |i|≤0.25 and k>0, the finite state machine changes from state "10" (switches S1 closed, S2 open) to state "01" (switches S1 open, S2 closed), and the signal type is a hold signal.

[0076] The voltage balance condition for a half-bridge three-level flying capacitor inverter is:

[0077]

[0078] This invention achieves full-range zero-voltage switching (ZVS) operation, with low output voltage and current ripple of the multilevel inverter, and can automatically balance the voltage of the flying capacitor without the need for any auxiliary circuits. Furthermore, it reduces voltage fluctuations of the flying capacitor by optimizing the charging and discharging sequence of the flying capacitor.

[0079] This implementation proposes using a random number method to achieve self-balancing of the flying capacitor. Specifically, the method involves making the "01" and "10" states appear randomly with equal probability, which can effectively control the voltage of the flying capacitor to stabilize at U. dc / 2, however, completely random selection of redundant paths may lead to multiple consecutive charging or discharging cycles, causing significant fluctuations in the flying capacitor voltage. To address this issue, this implementation proposes a method for generating a balancing signal k. The sign of k directly determines the selection of the finite state machine's state transition path, as shown below:

[0080] S501: Determine whether the states of switches S1 and S2 in the finite state machine are the same. If they are, then k = 1; otherwise, proceed to S502.

[0081] S502: Determine whether switch S1 is closed. If it is closed, calculate the value of Q according to Q = Q - sign. If Q = 0, determine whether r is greater than 0.5. If it is greater, k = 1. If it is less than, k = -1. If Q ≠ 0, give the value of k according to the sign at the current time.

[0082] S503: If switch S1 is in the open state, calculate the value of Q according to Q = Q + sign. If Q = 0, determine whether r is greater than 0.5. If it is greater, then k = 1. If it is less than, then k = -1. If Q ≠ 0, then give the value of k according to the sign at the current moment. Wherein, Q is the balance flag bit, the initial value is 0, the value of Q is the difference between the number of charging cycles and the number of discharging cycles, and r is a random number uniformly distributed in the range of 0 to 1.
