Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the fields of wireless power transmission and power converters, and particularly to a multi-frequency and multi-load wireless power transmission system based on a cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter. Background Art

[0002] The wireless power transmission system itself has the advantage of non-contact power transmission using spatial soft media, and has been widely applied to fields such as electric vehicles, smart devices, underwater devices, and drones.

[0003] Currently, due to the lack of a unified design standard for wireless charging devices, the wireless charging products of various manufacturers cannot be mutually compatible, and different wireless charging transmitting devices cannot charge different electrical devices. Therefore, researching a wireless power transmission system that can supply power to loads of multiple frequencies simultaneously has broad prospects. Most of the existing multi-frequency and multi-load wireless power transmission systems use full-bridge structures or half-bridge stacked structure inverters. Although existing technologies can achieve multi-frequency output of such inverters, there are still the following deficiencies:

[0004] 1. The harmonic content of the inverter output is relatively high: The outputs of traditional full-bridge or half-bridge structure inverters are both two-level voltages, and their harmonic content is relatively high. The existence of non-target harmonics brings difficulties to the design of the resonant networks at the transmitting and receiving ends of the multi-frequency and multi-load wireless power transmission system, greatly affects the efficiency from the transmitting end to the receiving end, and if the non-target harmonics cannot be separated, it also affects the energy usage quality of the device.

[0005] 2. The output power of the inverter is limited and cannot adapt to scenarios with relatively large power: Since the switching devices of the inverter have certain rated voltages and currents, this limits the maximum current and voltage that the inverter can withstand, thereby limiting the maximum power transmission capacity of the inverter.

Then, the modulation waves corresponding to the determined receiving circuits are superimposed to obtain a composite modulation signal. Finally, the composite modulation signal is compared with the carrier wave stacked in the same direction by using the carrier wave same-direction layer stacking modulation method to generate a switching drive signal for the cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter, so that the inverter can output a multi-frequency composite voltage with 2n + 1 levels and containing the signals required by the m receiving circuits.

[0036] The present invention will be further clarified below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and not to limit the scope of the present invention. After reading the present invention, those skilled in the art's various equivalent modifications of the present invention fall within the scope defined by the appended claims of this application.

[0037] A multi-frequency and multi-load wireless power transmission system based on a cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter, as Figure 1 shown, includes n DC power supplies 1, a cascaded H-bridge inverter 2, a primary side transmitting device, a secondary side receiving device, and a PWM generation circuit. The n DC power supplies 1, the cascaded H-bridge inverter 2, and the primary side transmitting device are connected in series. The cascaded H-bridge inverter 2 is an inverter circuit formed by cascading n H-bridges composed of 4n switching tubes. The primary side transmitting device includes a primary side compensation capacitor and a primary side transmitting coil 3 connected in series. The secondary side receiving device includes n power receiving circuits 4. Each receiving circuit 4 includes a receiving coil, a secondary side compensation capacitor, and a load connected in series. The receiving coil is disposed opposite to the primary side transmitting coil 3. Among them, the number of DC power supplies is the same as the number of H-bridges n, the number of output levels of the cascaded H-bridge inverter is 2n + 1, and there are m receiving circuits and loads operating at different operating frequencies in the system.

[0038] In this embodiment, the number of H-bridges in the cascaded H-bridge inverter 2 is n, then the number of corresponding DC power supplies 1 is n, and the voltage values of each DC power supply are equal, that is , then the number of levels output by the cascaded H-bridge inverter is 2n + 1.

[0039] The PWM generation circuit is arranged in the primary side emission device. The PWM generation circuit generates a modulation wave signal with a frequency consistent with the resonance frequencies of the m receiving circuits according to the requirements of different operating frequencies in the m receiving circuits, determines the amplitudes of the modulation wave signals according to the energy consumption requirements of the loads on each receiving side, then superimposes the modulation waves corresponding to the determined receiving circuits to obtain a composite modulation signal, and finally uses the carrier in-phase stacking modulation method (the number of carrier layers is 2n) to compare the composite modulation signal with the in-phase stacked carriers to generate the switching drive signals of the cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter, so that the inverter can output a multi-frequency composite voltage with 2n + 1 levels and containing the signals required by the m receiving circuits.

[0040] The transfer functions of the two transmission channels of the system are as follows:

[0041]

[0042]

[0043] Among them, represents the transfer function of transmission channel 1, represents the complex variable in the complex plane, represents the mutual inductance between the first receiving coil and the transmitting coil, represents the mutual inductance between the second receiving coil and the transmitting coil, represents the impedance of the first receiving circuit, represents the impedance of the second receiving circuit, represents the mutual inductance between the receiving coils, represents the load value of transmission channel 1, represents the primary side impedance, represents the transfer function of transmission channel 2, represents the load value of transmission channel 2. The electric energy of different frequencies between the two channels may interfere with each other, thus affecting the output power of each channel. The degree of interference between different channels is closely related to the frequency selection characteristics of the primary and secondary resonance networks. The present invention analyzes the effects of the two channels in suppressing the electric energy of each other's frequencies by calculating the transfer functions G1(s) and G2(s) of the two channels and by plotting the Bode diagram.

[0044] Figure 2 Illustrates the carrier in-phase stacking modulation technology based on the composite modulation wave. The generation method of the composite modulation signal is as follows: According to the natural resonance frequencies and power requirements of each receiving circuit, determine the frequencies and amplitudes of the corresponding modulation waves, and add all the modulation waves to obtain the final composite modulation signal.

[0045] The calculation formula of the composite modulation signal is:

[0046] .

[0047] Among them, is a composite modulation signal, is the modulation wave corresponding to each receiving loop, , represents the number of receiving loops, is the amplitude of the modulation wave corresponding to each receiving loop, is the frequency of the modulation wave corresponding to each receiving loop, represents the time.

[0048] Finally, the carrier in-phase stacking modulation method is adopted to modulate the composite modulation wave and the 2n-layer carrier to generate the switching drive signal of the cascaded H-bridge inverter. Among them, the drive signal generated by the composite modulation signal and one layer of carrier is used to drive one bridge arm, so that the cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter generates high-frequency composite electric energy containing the frequency and power requirements of all electric energy receiving loops. Specifically, the method of using the carrier in-phase stacking modulation method to compare the composite modulation signal with the in-phase stacked carrier to generate the switching drive signal of the cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter is as follows: Arrange 2n triangular carriers with the same amplitude, the same frequency, and the same phase in a stacked manner, and among them, n triangular carriers are located in the positive half part of the coordinate axis, and another n triangular carriers are located in the negative half part of the coordinate axis. Modulate with the composite modulation wave to generate 2n drive signals. The drive signal and its complementary signal modulated by one layer of carrier and the composite modulation wave are used to drive one bridge arm, so that the cascaded H-bridge inverter generates multi-frequency composite electric energy with 2n + 1 level quantities.

[0049] The secondary receiving coil receives the multi-frequency composite magnetic field from the transmitting coil to generate a multi-frequency voltage, and then separates the frequency electric energy required by each receiving-end load from the multi-frequency composite energy through the resonant network of each receiving loop.

[0050] Both the primary side and the secondary side of the multi-frequency multi-load wireless power transmission system adopt the S-type compensation structure. Among them, the secondary receiving device includes n electric energy receiving loops, and each receiving loop includes a receiving coil, a compensation capacitor, and a load. In Figure 1 the system shown, , are connected in series to form the resonant network of receiving loop one, and the resonant frequency is . , are connected in series to form the resonant network of receiving loop two, and the resonant frequency is . And so on, , are connected in series to form the resonant network of receiving loop , and the resonant frequency is , and each parameter satisfies:

[0051]

[0052] Therefore, the method for determining the secondary compensation capacitor is as follows: According to the requirements of the loads in each receiving loop for the power consumption frequency, combined with the self-inductance of each receiving coil, the resonance condition is satisfied , and the corresponding compensation capacitor values in each receiving loop on the secondary side are calculated, where: is the resonance frequency, is the secondary compensation capacitor, is the self-inductance of the receiving coil.

[0053] Since there is multi-frequency electric energy on the primary side, therefore the selection of cannot refer to the selection criteria of the secondary capacitor. The main purpose of the primary capacitor is to compensate for the reactive power of the system and improve the overall power factor of the system. However, its selection should not have too much impact on the overall system efficiency and the transmission efficiency of each frequency of electric energy. Therefore, the primary capacitor should also be selected in combination with the frequencies of each power channel.

[0054] Therefore, the method for determining the primary compensation capacitor is as follows: Considering the overall power of the system, the overall transmission efficiency of the system, and the transmission efficiency of each frequency channel, the priority relationship among them is: First, ensure that the overall power of the system meets the standard. Under the condition of ensuring a relatively high efficiency of the main frequency transmission channel, do not make the efficiency of other frequency channels too low, and ensure that the overall system efficiency remains at a relatively high level, then the optimal value of the primary compensation capacitor can be obtained.

[0055] The working principle of the multi-frequency and multi-load wireless power transmission system based on the cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter involved in this implementation is as follows: First, design the parameters of the system, with a focus on the selection of the capacitors on the primary and secondary sides. Specifically as follows:

[0056] (1) According to the requirements of the loads in each receiving loop for the power consumption frequency, combined with the self-inductance of each receiving coil, the resonance condition is satisfied , and thus the corresponding compensation capacitor values in each receiving loop on the secondary side can be calculated.

[0057] (2) The selection of the primary compensation capacitor needs to consider the overall power factor of the system, the overall transmission efficiency of the system, and the transmission efficiency of each frequency channel. The priority relationship among them is: First, ensure that the power factor of the system meets the standard. Under the condition of ensuring a relatively high efficiency of the main frequency transmission channel, do not make the efficiency of other frequency channels too low, and ensure that the overall system efficiency remains at a relatively high level. Through system modeling and calculation, the optimal value of the primary compensation capacitor can be obtained.

[0058] Next, according to the power consumption demands of the load for frequency and power, as well as the number of loads, determine the number, amplitude, and frequency of the modulation waves. Superimpose the modulation waves to obtain a composite modulation wave, and use the modulation method of carrier in-phase stacking to generate the switching drive signal. When adjusting the amplitude of the modulation wave, it should be noted not to make the amplitude of the finally superimposed composite modulation wave higher than the maximum value of the in-phase stacked carrier, otherwise waveform distortion of the inverter output will occur. The switching frequency of the inverter is closely related to the carrier frequency. An excessively high carrier frequency will cause the inverter to switch frequently, resulting in higher inverter losses, while an excessively low carrier frequency will lead to an increase in harmonics output by the inverter. In addition, to reduce low-frequency harmonics, the carrier frequency is generally set to the least common multiple of the resonance frequencies of each receiving circuit. Thus, the cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter outputs better composite high-frequency electric energy.

[0059] Next, specific parameters are substituted, and the technical effects of the present invention are further verified through experimental analysis.

[0060] The verification will take the dual-frequency and dual-load as an example. Its simulation circuit is as Figure 3 shown, and its system equivalent model is as Figure 4 shown. Set the DC voltage ; the resonance frequencies of the secondary receiving circuits are set to 20 kHz and 60 kHz; the self-inductance of the primary transmitting coil is 29.1 , and the internal resistance is 0.05 . Through theoretical analysis, the value of the primary compensation capacitor is selected as 1.8 ; the self-inductance of the secondary 20 kHz receiving coil is 88.6 , the internal resistance is 0.08 , the resonance capacitance value is 0.715 , and the mutual inductance value with the transmitting coil is 17.1 ; the self-inductance of the secondary 60 kHz receiving coil is 89.1 , the internal resistance is 0.08 , the resonance capacitance value is 0.079 , and the mutual inductance value with the transmitting coil is 16.6 . Since the two receiving coils are respectively placed on both sides of the transmitting coil, the mutual inductance between the two receiving coils is negligible.

[0061] The carrier is formed by stacking four in-phase carrier layers with an amplitude of 0.25 and a frequency of 360 kHz, so that the carrier amplitude is between -2 and 2. Set the amplitudes of the two modulation waves to be 0.64. At this time, the amplitude of the composite modulation wave is 1.971, and the ratio of the amplitude of the composite modulation wave to the carrier amplitude is about 0.9855.

[0062] Based on the above data, the dual-frequency and dual-load wireless power transfer system is analyzed as follows:

[0110] Such as Figure 5 、 6 ​As shown, compared with the traditional full-bridge inverter structure, the cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter adopted in the present invention can significantly reduce low-frequency harmonics. The present invention considers several harmonic frequencies with relatively high contents: 220 kHz, 300 kHz, 340 kHz, 380 kHz, and 420 kHz, and their contents are 21.89%, 36.45%, 52.38%, 49.62%, and 33.89% of that of 20 kHz respectively.

The carrier co-directional stacking technology based on the composite modulation wave adopted can achieve multi-frequency output of the inverter and can realize independent control of each output channel. In addition, the input power is shunted in the H-bridge, thus making high-power transmission possible.

It should be pointed out that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the principle of the present invention, several improvements and refinements can be made, and these improvements and refinements should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
