[0002] During the wireless charging process, in order to ensure that there is no metal or other harmful objects interfering with energy transmission during the charging process, foreign object detection is required for high-power wireless energy to prevent potential safety hazards;
[0003] Currently, foreign object detection for high-power wireless energy is typically performed by measuring the change in magnetic flux and induced voltage caused by metal foreign objects in a detection coil. To achieve this, specialized detection coils are required to sense changes in the magnetic field. The design, layout, and parameter selection of these detection coils are all aimed at maximizing the capture of magnetic field changes caused by metal foreign objects, thereby ensuring detection accuracy and sensitivity.
[0004] However, the above detection method usually relies on a single or multiple fixed detection coils to monitor the changes in magnetic flux, so that the detection range is limited by the length and size of the detection coil, and may not be able to fully cover the entire wireless charging area, resulting in a detection blind spot. Therefore, we need to propose a high-power wireless energy foreign object detection device and method based on signal coil reuse to solve the above problems, so that it can arrange more detection coils in a limited space through coil reuse technology, thereby expanding the detection range and ensuring the comprehensiveness of foreign object detection in the wireless charging area.

[0035] C8. Compare the calculated characteristic parameters with the preset threshold value. If the characteristic parameters exceed the preset threshold value, it is determined that there is a foreign object, and corresponding measures are taken according to the system settings. If the characteristic parameters do not exceed the preset threshold value, it is determined that there is no foreign object, and the control switch is controlled to connect the primary side data transceiver circuit to the signal detection coil, entering the data communication and power transmission process.
[0036] Furthermore, in step C4, the formula for the amplification process is as follows:

[0073] like Figure 3 As shown, the process of the primary side data transceiver circuit transmitting data to the secondary side data transceiver circuit is as follows:
[0074] B1. MCU encodes the data to be sent and then modulates it through the primary data transceiver circuit;

[0077] B2. The modulated signal is transmitted through the transmitting coil, and the receiving coil of the secondary side data transceiver circuit receives the signal and amplifies and filters it;
[0078] B3. The secondary side data transceiver circuit demodulates the received signal, restores the original data signal, and then sends a handshake signal to the primary side. The primary side determines whether the handshake signal is received. If it is received, power transmission is performed. If not, the primary side continues to wait.
[0079] The principle of the secondary side data transceiver circuit transmitting data to the primary side data transceiver circuit is the same as the principle of the primary side data transceiver circuit transmitting data to the secondary side data transceiver circuit, and will not be repeated here.
[0080] The foreign object detection module is used to detect whether there is a metal foreign object in the high-power wireless energy transmission area to ensure the safe operation of the system. The foreign object detection module includes a control switch, a foreign object detection circuit, and a signal detection coil for decoupling from the power coil. One end of the control switch is connected to one end of the signal detection coil, and the other end of the signal detection coil is respectively connected to one end of the foreign object detection circuit and one end of the primary data transceiver circuit. The other end of the foreign object detection circuit and the other end of the primary data transceiver circuit are respectively connected to the other two ends of the control switch.
[0081] The process of the foreign body detection circuit performing foreign body detection is as follows:
[0082] C1. After the foreign object detection circuit is powered on, confirm that the magnetic flux of the signal detection coil is Φ0 and perform foreign object detection through the signal detection coil;
[0083] C2. When a metal foreign object enters the vicinity of the power coil, the magnetic flux of the signal detection coil changes. The changed magnetic flux is Φ1 = Φ0 + ΔΦ, where ΔΦ is the change in magnetic flux caused by the foreign object and Φ1 is the changed magnetic flux.
[0084] C3. Calculate the induced voltage generated in the signal detection coil based on the changed magnetic flux. The calculation formula is as follows:
[0085] Among them, u i is the calculated induced voltage, N i is the number of turns of the signal detection coil, dΦ1 is the change in magnetic flux of the signal detection coil, and dt is the time change;
[0086] C4. Amplify the calculated induced voltage. The amplification formula is as follows:

[0091] C7. After receiving the digital signal output by the AD converter, the MCU calculates the characteristic parameters. The calculation formula of the characteristic parameters is as follows:
[0092] Among them, A is the characteristic parameter value, M is the total number of samples, and x(n) is the input characteristic data;
[0093] C8. Compare the calculated characteristic parameters with the preset threshold value. If the characteristic parameters exceed the preset threshold value, it is determined that there is a foreign object, and corresponding measures are taken according to the system settings. The corresponding measures include stopping energy transmission and issuing an alarm to prevent foreign objects from damaging the system. If the characteristic parameters do not exceed the preset threshold value, it is determined that there is no foreign object, and the control switch is controlled to connect the primary side data transceiver circuit to the signal detection coil, entering the data communication and power transmission process to ensure the normal operation of the system.
[0094] By rationally arranging the signal detection coil and the power coil in space, the coil can sense the magnetic field changes caused by metal foreign objects while minimizing the interference of the strong magnetic field of the power coil. This achieves coil reuse, allowing more detection coils to be arranged within a limited space, thereby expanding the detection range and ensuring comprehensive foreign object detection within the wireless charging area. For example, the detection coil can be placed near the power coil but not overlap it. By optimizing the coil's geometry, size, and relative position, a certain degree of decoupling can be achieved, allowing the coil to be used for foreign object detection without affecting power transmission.
[0095] During system startup or initialization, the MCU first controls the control switch to connect the signal detection coil to the foreign object detection circuit for foreign object detection. If a foreign object is detected, the process is carried out according to the above foreign object detection process. If no foreign object is detected, the MCU controls the control switch to switch the coil to the data transmission circuit for data communication between the primary and secondary sides, such as sending control instructions and status information.
[0096] After completing data communication, or during power transmission, the MCU will control the control switch again at a certain time interval or according to the conditions set by the system, so that the coil is connected to the foreign object detection circuit and performs periodic foreign object detection to monitor in real time whether there is any foreign object entering the vicinity of the power coil, ensuring the safety of the system during the entire operation process.
[0097] Based on the above-described foreign body detection device based on high-power wireless energy reused by signal coils, the present invention also provides a foreign body detection method based on high-power wireless energy reused by signal coils, such as Figure 4 As shown, the following steps are included:
[0098] S1, MCU controls the control switch to connect the signal detection coil to the foreign object detection circuit, so that the signal detection coil is in a state ready to detect foreign objects;
[0099] S2: Determine whether there is a foreign object. If there is a foreign object, the MCU controls to maintain the foreign object detection state. If there is no foreign object, it enters S3. In the foreign object detection state, the working process is continuously monitored for abnormalities. If abnormalities are found, the device is shut down.
[0100] S3, MCU controls the control switch to connect the primary data transceiver circuit to the signal detection coil;
[0101] S4, the secondary side data transceiver circuit receives and decodes the data, and sends a handshake signal to the primary side at the same time;
[0102] S5. Confirm whether the primary side receives the handshake signal sent by the secondary side. If not, the MCU controls to maintain the foreign object detection state; if received, power transmission is performed.
[0103] S6. The signal detection coil on the secondary side is connected to the foreign object detection circuit to determine whether there is a foreign object. If there is a foreign object, the MCU controls the energy transmission module to stop power transmission. If there is no foreign object, the MCU controls the control switch to connect the secondary side data transceiver circuit to the signal detection coil;
[0104] S7, the primary side receives and decodes the data, and sends a handshake signal to the secondary side;
[0105] S8. Confirm whether the secondary side receives the handshake signal sent by the primary side. If the handshake signal is received, power transmission is performed and the process returns to S6. If the handshake signal is not received, the MCU controls the energy transmission module to stop power transmission.
[0106] In summary, the signal coil is used as the detection coil for foreign object detection. Through the polling method of timing control, it is regularly detected whether there is a metal foreign object on the transmitting coil. If there is a foreign object, foreign object detection is always performed without switching to data transmission. If there is no foreign object, the circuit switches to timed data transmission to determine whether there is a matching receiving coil on the secondary side. Similarly, when there is a receiving coil on the secondary side, the primary side signal coil performs foreign object detection. If there is no foreign object, the signal coil switches to data transmission. After receiving the data, the secondary side decodes it to determine whether it matches. After matching, it sends an energy demand signal to the primary side. After receiving the signal, the primary side performs wireless charging according to the secondary side's requirements. After the handshake is completed, the signal transmitting coil enters the foreign object detection stage again, and continuously monitors whether there is any abnormality in the working process. If there is an abnormality, the device is shut down.
[0107] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein; and these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
