Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of wireless charging technology for electric bicycles, specifically a dual-specification WPT system with automatic constant current-constant voltage conversion function. Background Technology

[0002] Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) systems are widely used in electric bicycles, electric vehicles, and other fields due to their convenience, safety, and reliability. Electric bicycles generally use lithium batteries as their power source, and their charging process typically consists of two key stages: constant current followed by constant voltage. In the initial stage of charging, the lithium battery is in constant current charging mode, where the charger continuously outputs a fixed current. As the battery charge is continuously injected, the charging voltage gradually increases. When the charging voltage reaches a preset value, it needs to switch to constant voltage charging. In this stage, the charging current continuously decreases until it approaches zero, at which point the entire charging process ends. Different lithium battery modules require different current and voltage for the constant current and constant voltage charging stages. However, existing WPT systems cannot meet the different levels of current and voltage supply required for the constant current and constant voltage stages. Furthermore, the receiving side typically has current and voltage detection circuits as well as transmitting side control circuits, which greatly limits the practical application of WPT systems.
