Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to wireless power transmission technology, and particularly discloses a general-purpose generalized electric field coupler model, belonging to the technical field of power generation, power transformation or power distribution. BACKGROUND

[0002] The electric field coupling type wireless power transmission system realizes non-contact transmission of energy through an electric field coupling mode, and has no electrical or mechanical connection between the power supply end and the power receiving end, and has the advantages of simple structure, low cost, light weight, and no eddy current loss. In recent years, with the continuous improvement of transmission stability and efficiency, this technology has been widely concerned and rapidly developed in the fields of unmanned aerial vehicles, electric slip rings, underwater autonomous vehicles, and consumer electronics.

[0003] The existing electric field coupler adopts a parallel or stacked plate structure, and can be equivalent to a six-capacitor network model. In order to improve the power transmission capacity and transmission efficiency of the system, the reactive power in the system needs to be compensated through a compensation network. In engineering design, the six-capacitor model is further equivalent to a T-type or Π-type equivalent circuit model to simplify the analysis and design process of the compensation network.

[0004] However, the values of the parameters in the T-type and Π-type equivalent models are determined by the structure of the coupler, and lack of adjustment freedom, making it difficult to achieve flexible control of the output gain without changing the physical structure. Therefore, in order to increase the system freedom, a more complex compensation network or adjustment of the coupler plate size and layout is needed. This not only increases the complexity and hardware redundancy of the system design, but also leads to an increase in system size and weight, a decrease in power density, and limits its practical application in space-limited occasions such as slip rings and small unmanned aerial vehicles.

[0026] The universal generalized electric field coupler model structure provided by the present application is shown in Figure 1 , which is composed of a primary side equivalent capacitor module, a controlled source module, and a secondary side equivalent capacitor module. The primary side equivalent capacitor module is used to represent equivalent capacitor elements that generate no function energy on the controlled current side.

[0028] As shown in Figure 1 , the controlled source module in the universal generalized electric field coupler model includes a controlled current source and a controlled voltage source, the first end and the second end of the controlled current source constitute the controlled current side of the controlled source module, the first end and the second end of the controlled voltage source constitute the controlled voltage side of the controlled source module, the first end of the controlled current source is connected to the second end of the first primary-side equivalent capacitor element C PC , and the second end of the controlled current source is connected to the second end of the second primary-side equivalent capacitor element C MC .

[0029] The simulation circuit schematic diagram of the universal generalized electric field coupler model is shown in Figure 2 , the input end of the universal generalized electric field coupler model is connected to a high-frequency alternating current source v IN with a working frequency of ω, and the output end of the universal generalized electric field coupler model is connected to an alternating current load R O . Among them, the high-frequency alternating current source v IN supplies power to the universal generalized electric field coupler model, and the electric energy is transmitted to the controlled source module after generating reactive power by the primary-side equivalent capacitor module, and the electric energy is transmitted to the controlled voltage side by the controlled source module, and the energy is transmitted to the alternating current load R O after generating reactive power by the secondary-side equivalent capacitor module. The parameters contained in the primary-side equivalent capacitor module, the controlled source module and the secondary-side equivalent capacitor module can be adjusted, which provides additional design freedom.

[0030] The simulation circuit schematic diagram of the electric field coupler Π type equivalent model is shown in Figure 3 , the input end of the electric field coupler Π type equivalent model is connected to a high-frequency alternating current source v IN with a working frequency of ω, and the output end of the electric field coupler Π type equivalent model is connected to an alternating current load R O . Among them, the high-frequency alternating current source v INThe electric field coupler Π type equivalent model is supplied with power, and the electric energy is transmitted to the AC load R through the electric field coupler Π type equivalent model to generate reactive power O The parameters in the electric field coupler Π type equivalent model are determined by the parameters of the electric field coupler.

[0031] It can be seen that the universal generalized electric field coupler model and the electric field coupler Π type equivalent model have the same transmission characteristics and the same two-port transmission matrix, and the parameters of the universal generalized electric field coupler model can be obtained by writing equations according to the same column of the two-port transmission matrix.

[0032] The parameters of the universal generalized electric field coupler model are , wherein n C is the parameter of the controlled source module, the voltage-current relationship of the controlled source module is , i1 is the input current of the controlled source module, v1 is the input voltage of the controlled source module, i2 is the output current of the controlled source module, v2 is the output voltage of the controlled source module, C1 is the equivalent self-capacitance of the primary side of the electric field coupler, C2 is the equivalent self-capacitance of the secondary side of the electric field coupler, alpha is the parameter of the universal generalized electric field coupler, alpha takes the value of (-∞, 0)∪(0, +∞), when alpha takes the value of 0, the controlled source module will not be able to transmit energy, C PC is the capacitance value of the first primary side equivalent capacitor element, C MC is the capacitance value of the second primary side equivalent capacitor element, C SC is the capacitance value of the secondary side equivalent capacitor element, k C is the coupling coefficient of the electric field coupler, k C is expressed as , C M is the equivalent mutual capacitance of the electric field coupler.

[0033] Since the output gain of the electric field coupling type wireless electric energy transmission converter designed by using the universal generalized electric field coupler model is a function of the parameter n C of the controlled source module, the voltage-current variable ratio n C of the controlled source module in the universal generalized electric field coupler model can be obtained according to the required gain of the electric field coupling type wireless electric energy transmission converter, alpha can be obtained according to n C , and the first primary side equivalent capacitor element C PC , the second primary side equivalent capacitor element C MC , and the secondary side equivalent capacitor element C SC are adjustable by adjusting alpha.

[0038] Step 2: According to α, the first primary equivalent capacitor element C PC , the second primary equivalent capacitor element C MC , and the secondary equivalent capacitor element C SC are determined, and the calculation formula is .

[0039] The calculation results are shown in Table 2:

[0040] Table 2: Calculation parameters of the general type generalized electric field coupler model

[0041]

[0042] The positive value of the equivalent capacitor in Table 2 indicates the generation of capacitive reactive power, and the negative value indicates the generation of inductive reactive power. The effect of the general type generalized electric field coupler model proposed in the present application will be verified below in combination with the simulation results.

[0043] According to the parameters in Table 1 and Table 2, the general type generalized electric field coupler model is simulated and verified, and is compared with the Π type equivalent model of the electric field coupler. The simulation waveforms of the Π type equivalent model of the electric field coupler are shown in Figure 4 , and the simulation waveforms of the input voltage v IN , the input current i IN , the output voltage v O , and the output current i O are obtained. In the case of α = 0.5, 1, and 2, the simulation is performed respectively, and the simulation waveforms of the input voltage v IN , the input current i IN , the output voltage v O , the output current i O , the input voltage v1 of the controlled source module, and the output voltage v2 of the controlled source module of the general type generalized electric field coupler model are shown in Figures 5 to 7 . Figure 4It can be seen that the input voltage amplitude of the electric field coupler Π type equivalent model is 48V, the input current amplitude is 0.27A, the output voltage amplitude is 5.39V, and the output current amplitude is 0.27A. When α is 0.5, the input voltage amplitude is 48V, the input current amplitude is 0.27A, the output voltage amplitude is 5.39V, the output current amplitude is 0.27A, the input voltage amplitude of the controlled source module is 2185V, and the output voltage amplitude of the controlled source module is 1092.5V.

When α is 2, the input voltage amplitude is 48V, the input current amplitude is 0.27A, the output voltage amplitude is 5.39V, the output current amplitude is 0.27A, the input voltage amplitude of the controlled source module is 1056V, and the output voltage amplitude of the controlled source module is 2112V. It can be seen that the input voltage, input current, output voltage and output current of the universal type generalized electric field coupler model are the same as those of the Π type equivalent model, regardless of the value of α. In addition, the voltage-current variable ratio relationship of the controlled source module changes with α and does not affect the transmission characteristics of the universal type generalized electric field coupler model. The above simulation results prove that the present application achieves the expected effect and verifies the effectiveness and feasibility of the universal type generalized electric field coupler model structure proposed.
