[0015] The following clearly and completely describes the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and are not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts are included in the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0016] The present invention aims to provide a wireless charging system with a variable topology structure of a variable capacitor on the receiving side, which does not require communication between the transmitting side and the receiving side and reduces the difficulty and cost of system control.

[0017] In order to make the above objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and comprehensible, the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the drawings and detailed description of the invention.

[0018] As shown in Figure 1, the present invention provides a wireless charging system with a variable topology structure of a variable capacitor on the receiving side. The wireless charging system with a variable topology structure of a variable capacitor on the receiving side is a constant current / constant voltage wireless power transfer (WPT) system based on an LCL-S-(T / F) type circuit composite compensation topology, and includes an inverter, an LCL-S type resonant compensation network, a T type resonant compensation network, an F type resonant compensation network, a rectifier, and a charging load. The inverter is connected to the input end of the LCL-S type resonant compensation network, and is used to output an AC voltage source as input excitation for the LCL-S type resonant compensation network. The output end of the LCL-S type resonant compensation network is cascaded with the T type resonant compensation network to enter a constant current charging mode. The T type resonant compensation network is connected to the rectifier, and a capacitor C is connected to the T type resonant compensation network. S2 Add a branch circuit and a capacitor C S1 Capacitor C in the branch circuit St are connected in parallel to form a capacitor branch circuit equivalent to one of the F-type resonant compensation networks, and the capacitor C S2 The branch circuit is connected in series with the switch S1 and the capacitor C St is connected in series with switch S2, and at the same time, switches S1 and S2 are turned on to convert the T-type resonant compensation network into the F-type resonant compensation network, and enter a constant voltage charging mode, in which the F-type resonant compensation network is connected to the rectifier, and the rectifier is connected to the charging load.

[0019] In practical applications, Figure 2 is the circuit diagram of the LCL-S type resonant compensation network, and Figure 3 is the equivalent circuit diagram of the LCL-S type resonant compensation network. As shown in Figures 2 and 3, U P(vector) is the inverter output voltage with angular frequency ω, and the sender compensation network consists of a compensation inductance L P1 , compensation capacitor C P , the self-inductance of the transmitting coil L P The receiver compensation network is composed of the self-inductance L of the receiver coil.

[0020] From equation (7), the voltage across the load resistor is given by the high frequency voltage source U P (vector), the mutual inductance M between the primary and secondary coils, and the primary compensation inductor L P1 It can be seen that this is only related to the load R1 and is not related to the charging load R1. In other words, the LCL-S type resonant compensation circuit exhibits constant voltage output characteristics equivalent to a constant voltage source and can meet the constant voltage characteristic requirements of the charging load. Furthermore, from equation (9), it can be seen that the input impedance of the system is purely resistive, and the current and voltage satisfy the ZPA characteristics.

[0021] The output characteristics of the T-type resonant compensation circuit are analyzed as follows. As shown in Figure 4(a) and (b), the T-type resonant compensation circuit is connected to a constant voltage source U S (vector) and constant current source iS (vector), of which the compensation inductor L S1 , L S2 and compensation capacitor C S1 form a T-type compensation network excited by a constant voltage source, and the compensation inductor L S1 ', L S2 ' and compensation capacitor C S1 ' forms a T-type compensation network excited by a constant current source, R2 and R2' are load resistors, and i R2 (vector) and i R2 ' (vector) is the current flowing through the load resistor, and U R2 (vector) represents the voltage across the load resistor R2', and the parameters of the T-type resonant compensation circuit excited by a constant voltage source and a constant current source satisfy the following relationship:

[0022] From equation (13), when a constant voltage source is used as the excitation source for the T-type resonant compensation circuit, the output current at the load end i R2 It can be seen that (vector) is independent of the size of the load R2, has constant current output characteristics, and externally corresponds to a constant current source.

[0023] As shown in Figure 4(b), when a constant current source is used as the excitation source for the T-type resonant compensation circuit, the following equation is obtained from the KVL law:

[0026] From the above three types of high-order resonant compensation circuits, we can see that when the parameters of the resonant compensation circuit meet certain resonant conditions, the output will exhibit constant current or constant voltage characteristics, and the input impedances of the three high-order resonant compensation circuits are all pure resistance, so we obtain Table 1. Table 1 is a table of the output characteristics and conditions of the three high-order resonant compensation circuits.

[0027] [Table 1]

[0028] When the LCL-S type resonant compensation circuit uses a constant voltage source as the input excitation, the compensation topology circuit parameter L P1 , C P , L P , L S , C S It can be seen that if satisfies equations (1) and (2), the system has a constant voltage output and the system can achieve ZPA.

[0029] When the T-type resonant compensation network uses a constant voltage source as the input excitation, the resonant compensation network parameter L S1 , L S2 , C S1 If satisfies equation (10), the system has a constant current output and the system can achieve ZPA. When the T-type resonant compensation circuit uses a constant current source as the input excitation, the parameter L of the compensation topology circuit S1 ', L S2 ', C S1 If ' satisfies equation (11), the system has a constant voltage output and the system can achieve ZPA.

[0030] When an F-type resonant compensation circuit uses a constant voltage source as the input excitation, the compensation topology circuit parameter L S1 , L S2 , C S2 , C S3 If satisfies equation (23), the system has a constant voltage output and the system can achieve ZPA.

[0031] Based on the constant current and constant voltage output characteristics of the above-mentioned LCL-S, T, and F type resonant compensation circuits, the switching switch is controlled to turn on and off the receiving side compensation capacitor, changing the topology structure of the receiving side resonant compensation circuit, thereby enabling charging to be switched from constant current mode to constant voltage mode.

[0032] The system of the present invention can maintain the ZPA state in both the constant current charging phase and the constant voltage charging phase without introducing much reactive power, and the present invention does not require communication between the transmitting side and the receiving side, thereby reducing the difficulty and cost of system control. Finally, the rationality and effectiveness of this method are verified through simulations and experiments.

[0033] The present invention uses a constant voltage source U P We analyze an LCL-S type constant voltage resonant compensation circuit excited by (vector), a T type constant current resonant compensation circuit excited by a constant voltage source, and an F type constant voltage resonant compensation circuit. Through the analysis, we find that cascading the output end of an LCL-S type resonant compensation circuit with the input end of a T type resonant compensation circuit can meet the constant current output requirement during charging of an electric vehicle, and cascading the output end of an LCL-S type resonant compensation circuit with the input end of an F type resonant compensation circuit can meet the constant voltage output requirement during charging of an electric vehicle.

[0034] The load voltage U of the LCL-S type resonant compensation circuit shown in Figure 2 R1 is used as the excitation source for the T-type resonant compensation circuit shown in Fig. 4(a), and the constant current topology circuit shown in Fig. 6 is formed by cascade combination, and the load voltage U of the LCL-S-type resonant compensation circuit shown in Fig. 2 is R1(vector) is used as the excitation source of the F-type resonant compensation circuit, and the constant voltage topology circuit shown in Figure 7 is formed by cascade combination. R is the load resistance, and U P (Vector) is a high frequency AC voltage source.

[0035] To switch the constant current topology shown in Figure 6 to the constant voltage topology shown in Figure 7, S2 Add a branch circuit and S3 C so that it is equivalent to S1 C on the branch circuit St The method adopted in this paper is to connect switches S1 and C S2 are connected in series and C S2 Add a branch circuit and turn on switches S2 and C St are connected in series and C St By adding a branch circuit and controlling the switch to be on, the compensation topology at the receiving end changes from T-type to F-type, thereby switching the system from constant current mode to constant voltage mode.

[0036] As shown in Figure 1, the transmitter side adopts a single-phase full-bridge high-frequency inverter circuit, which is composed of switching tubes Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4. P (vector) and U P (vector) represents the inverter output current and inverter output voltage, and the parameters of the transmitting LCL resonant compensation network are L P1 , C P , L P where M is the mutual inductance of the coil and L S , C S are the self-inductance of the receiving coil and the compensation capacitor on the receiving side, respectively, and the parameters of the T-type resonant compensation network on the receiving side are L S1 , L S2 , C S1 The receiver's F-type resonant compensation network parameters are L S1 , L S2 , C S1 , C St , C S2 It consists of i R(vector) and U R (Vector) are the input current and input voltage of the rectifier, respectively.

[0050] The system simulation and experiment platform is designed as follows. According to FIG. 1, a simulation model of the LCL-S-(T / F) type composite compensation topology circuit shown in FIG. 13 is constructed.

[0051] To verify the feasibility of the proposed theoretical solution, a simulation model was constructed using Simulink® simulation software. Experiments were also conducted to verify a WPT system that achieves constant current and constant voltage output using a compensation topology circuit with a combined LCL-S and T / F connection. An experimental platform for a wireless charging system with a charging current of 1A and a charging voltage of 24V was constructed, as shown in Figure 14. The controller's main control chip is a TI TMS320F28335 processor. The inverter is a single-phase full-bridge inverter circuit consisting of an IRG7PH42UD1. The receiving rectifier uses a full-bridge uncontrolled rectifier circuit consisting of SCS240AE2 fast recovery diodes. The transmitting and receiving coils are formed by winding high-frequency litz wire. A polypropylene film capacitor is used for the compensation capacitor, and the compensation inductor is formed by winding litz wire and an EE65 magnetic core. A sliding rheostat is used in the experiment to simulate the change in internal resistance during battery charging. The specific parameters of the wireless charging system experimental platform are shown in Table 2, which is a parameter table of the experimental system.

[0052] [Table 2]

[0053] The simulation and experimental results are analyzed as follows.

[0054] First, we use Simulink simulation software to build a constant current mode simulation model shown in Figure 8, and simulate and verify the constant current charging stage. Figure 15 shows the charging load R L Figure 15 shows the simulated waveforms of the inverter output and load charging current when the load resistance is 12Ω and 24Ω, respectively. From (a) to (d) of Figure 15, it can be seen that the inverter output current and voltage remain in phase, and the system output current is basically maintained at 1A.

[0055] At the same time, an experimental platform was established to experimentally verify the constant current charging mode under the same experimental parameter settings. In the experiment, the resistance of the resistive load was gradually increased to simulate the resistance change process of the battery during charging, and the load resistance change range was 5Ω to 24Ω.

[0056] Figure 16 shows the experimental waveforms of the inverter and charging load output in constant current mode. Figure 16 (a) and (b) show that the inverter's output voltage and output current basically remain in phase, and the system maintains unit power factor input characteristics. In constant current mode, when the charging load resistance is 13.6 Ω, the charging current is 1.01 A. When the charging load resistance is 24 Ω, the charging current is 1.004 A, with a current change rate of 0.59%. The charging current is hardly affected by the charging load, and the charging current is maintained at 1 A. The system simulation and experimental results are basically consistent.

[0057] When the load voltage reaches the rated switching voltage of 24V, the switching operation performs compensation topology switching, converting the constant current charging stage into a constant voltage charging stage, the system outputs a voltage of 24V, charging the charging load at a constant voltage, and when the output current drops to the cut-off current, charging is terminated.

[0058] First, we use Simulink simulation software to build a constant voltage mode simulation model shown in Figure 10, and simulate and verify the constant voltage charging stage. Figure 17 shows the charging load R LFigure 17 shows the simulated waveforms of the inverter output and load charging voltage when the load resistances are 24Ω and 120Ω, respectively. From (a) to (d) of Figure 17, it can be seen that the inverter output current and voltage remain in phase, and the system output voltage is basically maintained at about 24V.

[0059] At the same time, an experimental platform was established to experimentally verify the constant voltage charging mode under the same experimental parameter settings. In the experiment, the resistance of the resistive load was increased to simulate the battery resistance change process during charging, and the load resistance change range was 24Ω to 120Ω.

[0060] Figure 18 shows the experimental waveforms of the inverter and charging load output in constant voltage mode. From (a) to (b) of Figure 18, U P (vector) and i P It can be seen that the (vector) waveform remains essentially in phase, the system maintains unit power factor input characteristics, and the system can maintain the ZPA state. When the charging load is 24 Ω, the charging voltage is 24 V, and when the charging load is 65 Ω, the charging voltage is 26 V, with a voltage change rate of 7.69%. The slight fluctuations in the charging voltage are due to the fact that the internal resistance of the system was not taken into account in the previous analysis, and there was an error in the compensation component parameters and the theoretical calculated values.

[0061] Besides, in constant current mode, as the equivalent resistance of the charging load gradually increases, the input impedance of the system continues to decrease and the output current of the inverter gradually increases, which verifies the correctness of the theoretical analysis of equation (34). In constant voltage mode, as the equivalent resistance of the charging load gradually increases, the input impedance of the system continues to increase and the output current of the inverter gradually decreases, which verifies the correctness of the theoretical analysis of equation (39). Figure 19 shows the system's charging current and charging voltage as a function of the charging load, with the charging load ranging from 5 to 120 Ω. Figure 19 shows that in constant current mode, the charging current drops from an initial 1.01 A to 1 A, remaining essentially stable at 1 A. In constant voltage mode, the charging voltage increases from an initial 24 V to 27 V. This slight increase in charging voltage is due to the fact that the previous theoretical derivation did not take into account the system's internal resistance, such as inductance and capacitors, and the internal resistance of the coil. This results in the system's DC power output being higher than the theoretical value. As a result, the charging voltage and charging current fluctuate somewhat due to the system's internal resistance, but the charging voltage and charging current can still meet the charging load's needs.

[0062] Figure 20 shows the change in the system's charging efficiency and charging power as a function of the charging load resistance. Throughout the constant-current, constant-voltage charging process, the system's charging efficiency increases from 42% to 78%, and then finally drops to 44% when charging is complete. The charging power reaches a maximum of 24W at the constant-current, constant-voltage switching point. (The charging efficiency here refers to the DC-DC charging efficiency, i.e., the ratio of the charging load output power to the inverter input power.)

[0063] Figure 21 shows the inverter output voltage U when switches S1 and S2 are switched from the off state to the on state. P (vector), output current i P (vector), and the voltage across the charging load U L The inverter output waveform shows that the inverter output voltage amplitude barely changes, while the inverter output current amplitude increases slightly. The voltage across the charging load fluctuates slightly before and after switching, but quickly returns to a stable state in a very short time, enabling fast and stable switching from constant current charging mode to constant voltage charging mode.

[0064] This invention derives an LCL-S-(T / F) type constant current / constant voltage composite compensation topology by reconstructing LCL-S, T, and F type resonant compensation circuits in a composite manner. Then, by controlling the switch switching on the receiving side to switch the compensation capacitor, a theoretical analysis of this new type of constant current / constant voltage composite compensation topology is completed. Next, a simulation model of the proposed theoretical solution is built and verified using MATLAB® / SIMULINK simulation software. Finally, a WPT system that achieves constant current / constant voltage output using a composite topology circuit in which LCL-S type and T / F type resonant compensation circuits are cascaded is experimentally verified, and the charging voltage U L and charging current I L A 24V, 1A wireless charging experimental platform was constructed. During the constant-current charging phase, when the charging load resistance increased from 13.6 Ω to 24 Ω, the system charging current decreased from 1.01 A to 1.004 A, with a current change rate of 0.59%, maintaining a constant system charging current of essentially 1 A. During the constant-voltage charging phase, when the charging load resistance increased from 24 Ω to 65 Ω, the system charging voltage increased from 24 V to 26 V, with a voltage change rate of 7.69%. The system charging voltage increased slightly, but still met the charging load's requirement for constant voltage output. The system achieved a maximum charging efficiency of 78% throughout the entire charging process. The experiment simulated the battery's resistance change during the charging process by gradually increasing the resistance of the resistive load. The experimental results demonstrated that the inverter's output voltage and output current remained essentially in phase, achieving ZPA characteristics with nearly zero reactive power input. Furthermore, during the constant current and constant voltage charging stage, the output current and output voltage of the system remain essentially unchanged, meeting the requirements for constant current or constant voltage output when charging electric vehicles and achieving expected results.
