[0021] The following will be combined with the 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 part of the embodiments of the present invention, not 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 are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] The "coupling" or "connection" in the present invention includes both direct connection and indirect connection, such as connection through some active devices, passive devices or electrically conductive media; it may also include connection through other active devices or passive devices on the basis of achieving the same or similar functional purposes as is well known to those skilled in the art, such as connection through circuits or components such as switches and follower circuits.

[0023] In order to more clearly understand the technical solution of the foreign body detection circuit and chip provided by the present invention, the background technology is further explained. Specifically, the power tube Q1 and the power tube Q4 are first controlled to be turned on for a period of time, and the power tube Q2 and the power tube Q3 are turned on until a steady-state voltage is formed at the node M. Then the power tube Q1 is controlled to be turned off and the power tube Q2 is turned on. The voltage at the node M starts to oscillate, and then it is determined whether there is a foreign body based on the number of effective waves at the node M. In theory, this method meets the foreign body detection requirements. However, in practical applications, the inventors of the present invention have found through verification that when using this method, at least two conditions need to be met. The first condition is that a circuit specifically used to detect whether the voltage at the node M reaches a steady state needs to be set. The second condition is that the time period for controlling the power tube Q1 and the power tube Q4 to be turned on is long enough. In order to ensure whether the voltage at the detection node M reaches a steady state, it is usually necessary to design a redundant circuit to prevent low detection accuracy. In addition, in actual foreign body detection, it is necessary to wait for a long time for the voltage at the node M to reach a steady state. This is obviously not conducive to rapid detection of foreign bodies and cannot achieve timely detection of foreign bodies.

[0024] In summary, the inventors of the present invention have discovered the above problems and based on this, proposed a foreign body detection circuit and chip provided in this embodiment. For the specific implementation method of the foreign body detection circuit and chip, refer to the description of the following embodiment.

[0025] See also Figure 2The embodiment of the present invention provides a foreign body detection circuit, which includes a first half bridge 11 and a second half bridge 12 connected in parallel between an input terminal VIN and a common terminal GND, an inductor L and a first capacitor C1 connected in series are provided between a half bridge node of the first half bridge 11 and a half bridge node of the second half bridge 12, the first half bridge 11 includes a first switch tube K1 and a second switch tube K2, and the second half bridge 12 includes a third switch tube K3 and a fourth switch tube K4, and the foreign body detection circuit also includes: a fifth switch tube K5 and an energy consumption element 13 connected in series, connected between a voltage supply terminal VX and a first common point X1 formed by the inductor L and the first capacitor C1; and each switch The controlled ends of the switch tubes are respectively connected to the control modules 14, which control the fifth switch tube K5 to be turned on and then turned off after the first preset time period, and cooperate with the first switch tube K1, the second switch tube K2, the third switch tube K3, and the fourth switch tube K4 to actively establish a starting voltage for the first common point X1 through the voltage supply end VX; the detection module 15 connected to the first common point X1, after the first switch tube K1 is turned on for the first preset time period, the control module 14 controls the on and off states of the first switch tube K1, the second switch tube K2, the third switch tube K3, and the fourth switch tube K4 to make the first common point X1 oscillate freely, and the detection module 15 detects the voltage of the first common point X1 to determine whether there is a foreign object.

[0026] In this embodiment, the half-bridge node of the first half-bridge 11 is a common point formed by the first switch tube K1 and the second switch tube K2, and the half-bridge node of the second half-bridge 12 is a common point formed by the third switch tube K3 and the fourth switch tube K4. It should be noted that the "common point" described in this embodiment can be used to facilitate the description of the circuit structure, and should not be limited to a specific intersection formed by connecting two wire bodies, but can also be a wire body extended on the basis of a specific intersection formed by connecting two wire bodies. Here, only the "common point" is used to describe the circuit structure of the foreign body detection circuit.

[0027] In this embodiment, the first switch tube K1, the second switch tube K2, the third switch tube K3, and the fourth switch tube K4 may include MOS tubes (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor, metal-oxide semiconductor field effect transistor), triodes, BJT tubes (Bipolar Junction Transistor, bipolar junction transistor), etc. The first switch tube K1, the second switch tube K2, the third switch tube K3, and the fourth switch tube K4 are of the same switch type.

[0028] In this embodiment, the inductor L and the first capacitor C1 form a first common point X1. Regarding the series relationship between the inductor L and the first capacitor C1, the first common point X1, the energy consumption element 13, the fifth switch tube K5, and the voltage supply end VX can be connected in sequence, or the first common point X1, the fifth switch tube K5, the energy consumption element 13, and the voltage supply end VX can be connected in sequence.

[0029] In this embodiment, the energy consumption element 13 may be a resistor, and the resistance value of the resistor may be configured based on actual needs.

[0030] In this embodiment, the control module 14 can control the on / off states of the first switch tube K1, the second switch tube K2, the third switch tube K3, the fourth switch tube K4, and the fifth switch tube K5. When performing foreign object detection, the fifth switch tube K5 can be controlled to be turned on first until the first common point X1 establishes a starting voltage, and then the fifth switch tube K5 can be controlled to be turned off, so that the voltage at the first common point X1 can oscillate freely, and the detection module 15 detects the voltage of the first common point X1 to determine whether there is a foreign object. Since the starting voltage can be directly provided to the first common point X1 through the voltage supply terminal VX at this time, the first preset time period for the first common point X1 to establish the starting voltage is extremely small, and there is no need to set a detection circuit in the circuit specifically to determine whether the first common point X1 reaches the starting voltage, which effectively reduces the design difficulty, reduces the chip area, and effectively prevents the occurrence of false detection.

[0031] It should be noted that the detection module 15 can determine whether there is a foreign object by detecting the voltage waveform at the first common point X1. The detection module 15 can adopt effective waveform counting, envelope detection, etc. The specific detection method and circuit structure of the detection module 15 are not specifically limited here.

[0032] The inventors of the present invention have found through actual measurements that the envelope obtained by performing envelope detection on the voltage waveform of the first common point X1 is as follows: Figure 3 As shown in (a), the envelope should be close to the upper and lower edges of the voltage waveform. However, in actual applications, if there is a capacitive device in the detection module 15, the capacitor in the detection module 15 needs to be charged to establish the working point in the early stage of the oscillation circuit, which causes the voltage after the oscillation waveform detection to be inconsistent with the expected voltage waveform. The obtained envelope is as follows: Figure 3 As shown in (b), at this time, the detected envelope waveform and the oscillation waveform peak value will be seriously distorted, which will make it impossible to detect foreign objects.

[0033] In some embodiments, Figure 4As shown, the detection type of the detection module 15 can be an envelope detection method, and the detection module 15 can include: a diode D, whose anode is connected to the first common point X1; a first resistor R1 and a second capacitor C2 connected in parallel between the first common point X1 and the common terminal GND; when a starting voltage state is established at the first common point X1, the second capacitor C2 has established a working point.

[0034] In this embodiment, when the first common point X1 has established a starting voltage state, the second capacitor C2 has established a working point. When performing envelope detection, the cathode of the diode D can be used as the detection terminal VY. At this time, the edge envelope detected by the envelope detection method is basically close to the edge part of the voltage oscillation wave, and the detection result is more accurate.

[0035] It should be noted that in this embodiment, whether the effective wave counting method or the envelope detection method is used, the accuracy of foreign body detection can be improved. Specifically, when the effective wave counting method is used, the starting voltage of the first common point X1 is used as the starting point of the free oscillation of the non-legacy common point. Since the frequency of the free oscillation is consistent with the counting frequency, it is convenient to set the peak area of ​​each count to be basically consistent with the clock pulse width area. In actual application, the number of effective waves obtained by counting is not prone to error. At the same time, when the envelope detection method is used, since the capacitive device in the detection module 15 has pre-established the working point before detecting the envelope, there is no need to charge the capacitive device in the detection module 15 in the subsequent oscillation, such as Figure 5 As shown, in this way, the envelope obtained under free oscillation is basically consistent with the edge of the oscillation waveform, thereby greatly improving the detection accuracy under the envelope detection method.

[0036] In some embodiments, the control module 14 can control the first switch tube K1 and the fourth switch tube K4 to be turned on for the second preset time period, and control the second switch tube K2 and the third switch tube K3 to be turned off for the second preset time period; or, the control module 14 can control the first switch tube K1 and the fourth switch tube K4 to be turned off for the second preset time period, and control the second switch tube K2 and the third switch tube K3 to be turned on for the second preset time period.

[0037] In this embodiment, when the control module 14 controls the first switch tube K1 and the fourth switch tube K4 to turn on for the second preset time period, and controls the second switch tube K2 and the third switch tube K3 to turn off for the second preset time period, the input terminal VIN, the first switch tube K1, the inductor L, the energy consumption element 13 and the fifth switch tube K5 connected in series, and the voltage supply terminal VX can form a first path, and the input terminal VIN, the first switch tube K1, the inductor L, the first capacitor C1, the fourth switch tube K4, and the common terminal GND can form a second path. When the control module 14 controls the first switch tube K1 and the fourth switch tube K4 to turn off for the second preset time period, and controls the second switch tube K2 and the third switch tube K3 to turn on for the second preset time period, at this time, the input terminal VIN, the third switch tube K3, the first capacitor C1, the energy consumption element 13 and the fifth switch tube K5 connected in series, and the voltage supply terminal VX can form a third path, and the input terminal VIN, the third switch tube K3, the first capacitor C1, the inductor L, the second switch tube K2, and the common terminal GND can form a fourth path. In the above-mentioned path forming process, based on the joint action of the input terminal VIN and the voltage supply terminal VX, the starting voltage can be established for the first common point X1 more quickly.

[0038] In some embodiments, the first preset time period is within the second preset time period, or the second preset time period is before the first preset time period.

[0039] Specifically, the first preset time period can be within the second preset time period, which means that the first preset time period can be in any interval within the second time period. The control module 14 can control the fifth switch tube K5 to be turned on for the first preset time period within the second preset time period when the first switch tube K1 and the fourth switch tube K4 are turned on and the second switch tube K2 and the third switch tube K3 are turned off. Alternatively, the control module 14 can control the fifth switch tube K5 to be turned on for the first preset time period within the second preset time period when the first switch tube K1 and the fourth switch tube K4 are turned off and the second switch tube K2 and the third switch tube K3 are turned on.

[0040] The second preset time period before the first preset time period can be indicated, and the first preset time period is performed after the second preset time period. The control module 14 can control the fifth switch tube K5 to be turned on for the first preset time period after the second preset time period in which the first switch tube K1 and the fourth switch tube K4 are turned on and the second switch tube K2 and the third switch tube K3 are turned off. Alternatively, the control module 14 can control the first switch tube K1 and the fourth switch tube K4 to be turned off and the second switch tube K2 and the third switch tube K3 to be turned off, and then control the fifth switch tube K5 to be turned on for the first preset time period. At this time, it is preferred that the second preset time period is continuous with the first preset time period without any gap.

[0041] In some embodiments, the start time of the second preset time period may be earlier than or equal to the start time of the first preset time period, and the end time of the second preset time period may be equal to the end time of the first preset time period. That is, the control module 14 may control the first switch tube K1 and the fourth switch tube K4 to be turned on, and the moment when the second switch tube K2 and the third switch tube K3 are turned off may be earlier than or equal to the moment when the fifth switch tube K5 is turned on. Alternatively, the control module 14 may control the first switch tube K1 and the fourth switch tube K4 to be turned off, and the moment when the second switch tube K2 and the third switch tube K3 are turned on may be earlier than or equal to the moment when the fifth switch tube K5 is turned on, and the fifth switch tube K5 is controlled to be turned on for the first preset time period.

[0042] In some embodiments, the control module 14 can control the first switch tube K1, the second switch tube K2, and the third switch tube K3 to turn off for the third preset time period, and control the fourth switch tube K4 to turn on for the third preset time period; or, the control module 14 can control the first switch tube K1, the third switch tube K3, and the fourth switch tube K4 to turn off for the third preset time period, and control the second switch tube K2 to turn on for the third preset time period; wherein the start time and the end time of the third preset time period are consistent with the first preset time period.

[0043] In this embodiment, when the control module 14 controls the first switch tube K1, the second switch tube K2, and the third switch tube K3 to turn off the third preset time period, and controls the fourth switch tube K4 to turn on the third preset time period, the voltage supply terminal VX, the series-connected energy-consuming element 13 and the fifth switch tube K5, the first capacitor C1, the fourth switch tube K4, and the common terminal GND form a fifth path. When the control module 14 controls the first switch tube K1, the third switch tube K3, and the fourth switch tube K4 to turn off the third preset time period, and controls the second switch tube K2 to turn on the third preset time period, the voltage supply terminal VX, the series-connected energy-consuming element 13 and the fifth switch tube K5, the inductor L, the second switch tube K2, and the common terminal GND form a sixth path.

[0044] In some embodiments, within a first preset time period, the control module 14 can control the first switch tube K1 and the third switch tube K3 to be turned off, and the second switch tube K2 and the fourth switch tube K4 to be turned on; or, within the first preset time period, the control module 14 can control the first switch tube K1 and the third switch tube K3 to be turned on, and the second switch tube K2 and the fourth switch tube K4 to be turned off.

[0045] In this embodiment, when the control module 14 controls the first switch tube K1 and the third switch tube K3 to turn off and the second switch tube K2 and the fourth switch tube K4 to turn on in the first preset time period, the voltage supply terminal VX, the energy consumption element 13 connected in series, the fifth switch tube K5, the second switch tube K2, and the common terminal GND form a seventh path, and the voltage supply terminal VX, the energy consumption element 13 connected in series, the fifth switch tube K5, the fourth switch tube K4, and the common terminal GND form an eighth path. In the first preset time period, when the control module 14 controls the first switch tube K1 and the third switch tube K3 to turn on and the second switch tube K2 and the fourth switch tube K4 to turn off, the input terminal VIN, the first switch tube K1, the inductor L, the energy consumption element 13 connected in series, the fifth switch tube K5, and the voltage supply terminal VX form a ninth path, and the input terminal VIN, the third switch tube K3, the first capacitor C1, the energy consumption element 13 connected in series, the fifth switch tube K5, and the voltage supply terminal VX form a tenth path.

[0046] In some embodiments, after the starting voltage is established at the first common point X1, the second switch tube K2 and the fourth switch tube K4 can be controlled to be turned on, and the first switch tube K1, the third switch tube K3, and the fifth switch tube K5 can be turned off, so that the first common point X1 is in a free oscillation state.

[0047] In some embodiments, the fourth switch tube K4 and the fifth switch tube K5 can be controlled to be turned on, and the first switch tube K1, the second switch tube K2, and the third switch tube K3 can be turned off. After the starting voltage is established at the first common point X1, the first switch tube K1, the third switch tube K3, and the fifth switch tube K5 are controlled to be turned off, and the second switch tube K2 and the fourth switch tube K4 are turned on, so that the first common point X1 is in a free oscillation state.

[0048] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the second common point X2 formed by the second switch tube K2 and the fourth switch tube K4, and a second resistor R2 is arranged between the second common point X2 and the common terminal GND.

[0049] In this embodiment, based on the second resistor R2, current detection can be implemented based on the second common point X2 to determine whether the current is abnormal during the wireless charging process, and the oscillation amplitude can be adjusted based on the second resistor R2, so that a suitable oscillation waveform can be easily obtained at the first common point X1.

[0050] In some embodiments, the energy consumption element 13 may be a resistor. The larger the resistance value of the resistor is, the shorter the time to establish the starting voltage is.

[0051] In some embodiments, the detection module 15 may further include a valid wave counting method.

[0052] An embodiment of the present invention further provides a foreign object detection chip, which includes a foreign object detection circuit as described in any of the above embodiments.

[0053] Since the circuit structure and working mode of the foreign matter detection circuit in the foreign matter detection chip in this embodiment are the same as those of the foreign matter detection circuit in the previous embodiment, they will not be described in detail here.
