[0039] To make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the specific technical solutions of the present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present application but are not intended to limit the scope of the present application.

[0040] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application pertains. The terms used herein are for the purpose of describing the embodiments of this application only and are not intended to limit this application.

[0041] In the following description, reference is made to “some embodiments”, which describes a subset of all possible embodiments, but it will be understood that “some embodiments” may be the same subset or different subsets of all possible embodiments and may be combined with each other without conflict.

[0042] It should be pointed out that the terms "first\second\third" involved in the embodiments of the present application are used to distinguish similar or different objects, and do not represent a specific ordering of the objects. It can be understood that "first\second\third" can be interchanged with a specific order or sequence where permitted, so that the embodiments of the present application described here can be implemented in an order other than that illustrated or described here.

[0043] Existing wired charging interfaces are large in size, and small electronic devices such as mobile phones, smart watches, smart glasses, and wireless headphones generally use wireless charging interfaces for charging.

[0044] However, the existing wireless charging interface only has wireless charging function and cannot meet the data interaction requirements between devices.

[0045] In view of this, an embodiment of the present application provides a wireless charging communication system that performs wireless communication while performing wireless charging.

[0046] FIG1 illustrates a wireless charging communication system provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG1 , the wireless charging communication system includes a charging connector 10, an electronic device 20, and a power supply device 30. The charging connector 10 includes a transmitting module 11, and the electronic device includes a receiving module 21. When the power supply device 30 is connected to the charging connector 10 and the distance between the transmitting module 11 of the charging connector 10 and the receiving module 21 of the electronic device 20 is less than a distance threshold, the power supply device 30 can wirelessly charge the electronic device 20 through the charging connector 10 and wirelessly communicate with the electronic device 20. The transmitting module 11 and the receiving module 21 are provided with corresponding functional components to meet the requirements of wireless charging and millimeter wave communication.

[0047] This wireless charging communication system uses millimeter waves to achieve USB 2.0 wireless data transmission. Millimeter wave communication refers to a communication method that uses millimeter waves as a communication carrier. The radio frequency band has a wavelength between 1 and 10 mm, corresponding to a frequency range of 30 to 300 GHz. Compared with traditional communication frequency bands, millimeter waves offer the following advantages: greater bandwidth: enabling ultra-high data transmission rates of tens of Gbps; strong interference resistance: the millimeter wave band has many unused frequency bands, which can avoid competition for spectrum resources and channel interference; small antenna size: the millimeter wave band requires small antenna size, facilitating the miniaturization of communication ports; low power consumption: due to the short transmission range of the millimeter wave band, it requires less transmission power.

[0048] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the structures of two charging connectors provided in embodiments of the present application. As shown in Figure 2, the charging connector 10 can be a charging cable or a charging connector. The charging cable and the charging connector have exactly the same functions, except that the charging cable includes a connecting cable, while the charging connector does not, or the connecting cable is shorter.

[0049] The left side of the charging connector is connected to the adapter or the interface of a personal computer PC, and the other end adopts a contactless design to connect to the electronic device / smart device to realize charging and data transmission functions.

[0050] An embodiment of the present application provides a transmitting module for use with a charging connector, comprising: a first printed circuit board (PCB), a first charging component, and a first communication component, wherein the first charging component and the first communication component are both disposed on the first PCB, wherein the first charging component includes a magnetic field transmitting unit for converting a received current signal into an electromagnetic signal; the first communication component includes a first signal transceiver unit for transmitting and receiving millimeter wave signals; and the magnetic field transmitting unit and the first signal transceiver unit are both disposed on a side of the first PCB. The transmitting module can wirelessly charge an electronic device and wirelessly communicate with the electronic device when the distance between the side of the first PCB and the electronic device is less than a distance threshold, thereby meeting the data transmission requirements between devices during wireless charging and improving the user experience.

[0051] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0052] Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a transmitter module provided in an embodiment of the present application. The transmitter module can be applied to a charging connector, which can be various types of connectors, connectors, or cables with information processing capabilities. For example, the charging connector can be a connector capable of connecting to an adapter or a personal computer, or a cable capable of connecting to an adapter or a personal computer.

[0053] As shown in Figure 3, the transmitting module includes: a first printed circuit board PCB101, a first charging component 102 and a first communication component 103, wherein the first charging component 102 and the first communication component 103 are both arranged on the PCB101, wherein the first charging component 102 includes a magnetic field transmitting unit 1021, and the magnetic field transmitting unit 1021 is used to convert the received current signal into an electromagnetic signal; the first communication component 103 includes a first signal transceiver unit 1031, and the first signal transceiver unit 1031 is used to transmit and receive millimeter wave signals; the magnetic field transmitting unit 1021 and the first signal transceiver unit 1031 are both arranged on the side 1011 of the first PCB. When the distance between the side 1011 of the first PCB and the electronic device is less than the distance threshold, the electronic device can be wirelessly charged and wireless communication with the electronic device can be performed.

[0054] The PCB provides connection, support, and fixation for electronic components. The PCB here can be an existing PCB type, and the present embodiment of the application does not limit the type of PCB. The first charging component can be a component of an existing wireless charging transmitter, and the first communication component can be a component of an existing millimeter wave communication. The present embodiment of the application does not limit the type and structure of the first charging component and the first communication component.

[0055] It should be noted that the first charging component and the first communication component are both arranged on the PCB, which means that the first charging component and the first communication component are arranged on the PCB by welding or circuit connection. The magnetic field transmitting unit and the first signal transceiver unit are both arranged on the side of the first PCB, which means that the first PCB includes four sides, and the magnetic field transmitting unit and the first signal transceiver unit are arranged on any side of the first PCB. Since the magnetic field transmitting unit and the first signal transceiver unit of the charging connector need to maintain a small distance with the functional components corresponding to the electronic device end in order to perform wireless charging and wireless communication, the magnetic field transmitting unit and the first signal transceiver unit are arranged on the side of the first PCB, which can facilitate contactless contact with the corresponding components on the electronic device end to achieve wireless charging and wireless communication.

[0056] The embodiment of the present application proposes a transmitting module that uses wireless charging to realize charging function and millimeter wave communication to realize data transmission function, and the interface is arranged on the side of the first PCB, which is convenient for contactless interface design and can replace wired cables, making it convenient for users to use.

[0057] In some embodiments, the first signal transceiver unit includes at least one set of PCB end-fire antennas. When the first signal transceiver unit includes two sets of PCB end-fire antennas, the magnetic field transmitting unit is disposed between the two sets of PCB end-fire antennas.

[0058] Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of the structure of another transmitting module provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 4, the first signal transceiver unit 1031 includes two sets of PCB end-fire antennas, and the magnetic field transmitting unit 1021 is disposed between the two sets of PCB end-fire antennas. The magnetic field transmitting unit 1021 and the two sets of PCB end-fire antennas are both disposed on the sides of the first PCB 101.

[0059] It should be noted that the use of two sets of PCB end-fire antennas allows for parallel transmission with the corresponding PCB end-fire antennas on the electronic device, automatically negotiating and achieving full-duplex millimeter-wave data communication. Furthermore, the symmetrical arrangement of the first signal transceiver unit 1031 can meet the user's needs in both forward and reverse usage scenarios.

[0060] In some embodiments, the PCB end-fire antenna includes a horizontally polarized dipole antenna and a vertically polarized monopole antenna, and the first signal transceiver unit includes a radio frequency chip, which is respectively connected to the horizontally polarized dipole antenna and the vertically polarized monopole antenna through a transmission line.

[0061] It should be noted that the embodiment of the present application adopts an external PCB end-fire antenna solution and an end-fire dual-polarization antenna solution, including a horizontally polarized dipole antenna and a vertically polarized monopole antenna. The horizontally polarized dipole antenna adopts a trapezoidal floor structure to increase the antenna impedance bandwidth; the vertically polarized monopole antenna adopts a quasi-Yagi-Uda antenna form, introducing a reflector arm oscillator to improve the end-fire gain. The RF chip is connected to the two antennas respectively through a 50-ohm transmission line, exciting a 1 / 2 wavelength dipole mode to generate horizontally polarized radiation, and a 1 / 4 wavelength mode monopole mode to generate vertically polarized radiation.

[0062] FIG5 is a side view of a PCB end-fire antenna provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG5 , the PCB end-fire antenna includes a PCB 301, a vertically polarized monopole antenna 302, a horizontally polarized dipole antenna 303, and a reflector assembly 304. In the embodiment of the present application, the PCB 301 has a first panel 3011 and a second panel 3012 that are arranged opposite and spaced apart. The PCB 301 can be a multi-layer printed circuit board (PCB), in which the first panel 3011 and the second panel 3012 are provided. A dielectric material can be filled between the two panels to support the two panels of the PCB 301. The PCB 301 can be used to mount the vertically polarized monopole antenna 302, the horizontally polarized dipole antenna 303, and the reflector assembly 304.

[0063] In this embodiment, the vertically polarized monopole antenna 302 is arranged on a side of the first panel 3011 away from the second panel 3012, and extends into the cavity between the first panel 3011 and the second panel 3012, and is used to connect to the first feeding structure 305 provided inside the cavity to receive the first feeding signal, and generate vertically polarized radiation under the excitation of the first feeding signal.

[0064] The vertically polarized monopole antenna 302 is connected to a first feed structure 305 located within the cavity to receive a first excitation signal fed by the first feed structure 305. The first excitation signal excites a 1 / 4 wavelength monopole mode, generating vertically polarized radiation. Optionally, a first feed port is provided at the end of the vertically polarized monopole antenna 302 near the second panel 3012. The first feed port of the vertically polarized monopole antenna 302 is connected to the first feed structure 305 to receive the first feed signal. As shown in FIG. 5 , the first feed structure 305 is connected to a feed source at a first port 307.

[0065] In this embodiment, the horizontally polarized dipole antenna 303 is arranged on the side of the second panel 3012 close to the vertically polarized monopole antenna 302 and extends away from the PCB 301, and is used to connect to the second feeding structure provided on the second panel 3012 to receive the second feeding signal, and generate horizontally polarized radiation under the excitation of the second feeding signal.

[0066] The horizontally polarized dipole antenna 303 is connected to a second feed structure (not shown in the figure, only the second feed structure is shown connected to the feed source via the second port 306) provided on the second panel 3012 to receive a second excitation signal fed by the second feed structure. The second excitation signal excites a 1 / 2 wavelength dipole mode, generating horizontally polarized radiation. By generating horizontally polarized radiation through the horizontally polarized dipole antenna 303 and vertically polarized radiation through the vertically polarized monopole antenna 302, the antenna unit can achieve dual-polarized radiation.

[0067] In this embodiment, the reflective component 304 is disposed on a side of the first panel 3011 facing away from the second panel 3012, and is located on a side of the vertically polarized monopole antenna 302 facing away from the horizontally polarized dipole antenna 303, and is used to guide the vertically polarized monopole antenna 302 to radiate in a direction away from the reflective component 304 when the vertically polarized monopole antenna 302 generates vertically polarized radiation.

[0068] Among them, the reflecting component 304 is arranged on the side of the first panel 3011 away from the second panel 3012, and is located on the side of the vertically polarized monopole antenna 302 away from the horizontally polarized dipole antenna 303. When the vertically polarized monopole antenna 302 generates vertically polarized radiation, the reflecting component 304 can generate surface current under the action of the vertically polarized monopole antenna 302 and form a reflector of the vertically polarized monopole antenna 302 to guide the vertically polarized monopole antenna 302 to radiate electromagnetic waves in a direction away from the reflecting component 304, thereby improving the gain of the vertically polarized monopole antenna 302 and further improving the end-fire performance of the vertically polarized monopole antenna 302.

[0069] The PCB end-fire antenna provided in this embodiment includes a PCB 301, a vertically polarized monopole antenna 302, a horizontally polarized dipole antenna 303, and a reflector assembly 304. The vertically polarized monopole antenna 302 is arranged on a side of the first panel 3011 facing away from the second panel 3012 and extends into a cavity between the first panel 3011 and the second panel 3012. The horizontally polarized dipole antenna 303 is arranged on a side of the second panel 3012 close to the vertically polarized monopole antenna 302 and extends away from the PCB 301. The reflector assembly 304 is arranged on a side of the first panel 3011 facing away from the second panel 3012 and is located on the side of the vertically polarized monopole antenna 302 facing away from the horizontally polarized dipole antenna 303. The vertically polarized monopole antenna 302 generates vertically polarized radiation under the excitation of the first feed signal, and the horizontally polarized dipole antenna 303 generates horizontally polarized radiation under the excitation of the second feed signal. When the vertically polarized monopole antenna 302 generates vertically polarized radiation, the reflective component 304 guides the vertically polarized monopole antenna 302 to radiate in a direction away from the reflective component 304, so that the antenna unit has a lower cross-section and effective isolation performance. In addition, the connector can be omitted, the stacking difficulty is small, and the occupied volume is small, further reducing the occupied area and stacking cost of the antenna unit, meeting the end-fire dual-polarization in an extremely small size, and being suitable for wireless terminal equipment.

[0070] In some embodiments, the first communication component includes at least one signal shielding unit. When the first communication component includes multiple PCB end-fire antennas and is arranged in an antenna stacking manner, the signal shielding unit is arranged between every two PCB end-fire antennas.

[0071] Figure 6 is a top view of a PCB end-fire antenna provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 6, the PCB end-fire antenna in this embodiment includes a reflector assembly 304 consisting of eight reflector arms 3041 arranged in a linear array; a vertically polarized monopole antenna 302 located on the symmetry axis of the reflector assembly 304; a horizontally polarized dipole antenna 303 consisting of a first radiating arm 3031, a second radiating arm 3032, and a trapezoidal impedance matching layer 3033 arranged in different layers; and a grounding assembly 3013 consisting of multiple metallized vias. Both the first panel 3011 and the second panel 3012 are metal plates. The impedance matching layer here serves as a signal shielding element.

[0072] It is understood that embodiments of the present application can expand the antenna stacking method of the transmitter module, adding shielding films internally to enable more antennas to operate within a limited space. New antenna forms can also be developed, including smaller antennas with better self-shielding properties, to achieve the same or even higher data transmission rates as conventional antennas.

[0073] The embodiment of the present application proposes a millimeter wave transceiver + external PCB antenna solution to replace the traditional millimeter wave transceiver chip integrated antenna solution. The advantage is that the antenna interface can be miniaturized and the layout and stacking on the product are more flexible.

[0074] FIG7 is a schematic structural diagram of a first communication component provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG7 , the first communication component 103 includes a first signal transceiver unit 1031, a signal switching unit 1032, and a first communication control unit 1033. The first communication control unit 1033 is connected to the signal switching unit 1032 and the first signal transceiver unit 1031, respectively, and the signal switching unit 1032 is also connected to the first signal transceiver unit 1031. The signal switching unit 1032 is used to output the input data signal to the first communication control unit 1033 or to the first signal transceiver unit 1031 according to the control signal sent by the first communication control unit; the first communication control unit 1033 is used to determine the type of the power supply device according to the input digital signal, and when the type of the power supply device is a preset type, send a control signal to the signal switching unit 1032 so that the signal switching unit outputs the data signal to the first signal transceiver unit.

[0075] Figure 8 is a structural diagram of another first communication component provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 8, on the basis of the embodiment shown in Figure 7, the first communication component 103 also includes a first signal amplifying unit 1034, wherein the first signal amplifying unit 1034 is respectively connected to the signal switching unit 1032, the first signal transceiver unit 1031 and the first communication control unit 1033, and is used to amplify the received data signal and output it to the first signal transceiver unit.

[0076] FIG9 is a schematic structural diagram of a first charging component provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG9 , the first charging component 102 includes a magnetic field transmitting unit 1021, a voltage regulating unit 1022, an inverter unit 1023, a resonance compensation unit 1024, and a first charging control unit 1025. The voltage regulating unit 1022, the inverter unit 1023, the resonance compensation unit 1024, and the magnetic field transmitting unit 1021 are connected in sequence, and the first charging control unit 1025 is connected to the inverter unit 1023. The voltage regulating unit 1022 is configured to adjust the input DC voltage source to a target inverter bus voltage; the inverter unit 1023 is configured to convert the target inverter bus voltage into an AC power source; the resonance compensation unit 1024 is configured to perform resonance compensation on the magnetic field transmitting unit so that the magnetic field transmitting unit converts the received current signal into an electromagnetic signal; and the first charging control unit 1025 is configured to control and drive wireless charging.

[0077] Figure 10 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a transmitting module provided by this application. As shown in Figure 10, the first charging control unit 1025 in the first charging component 102 and the first communication control unit 1033 in the first communication component 103 can be a main control unit, that is, the wireless charging function and wireless communication function of the wireless charging communication module are controlled by a main control unit.

[0078] In some embodiments, the first PCB includes two sub-PCBs, the voltage regulating unit of the first charging component is arranged on one sub-PCB, and the inverter unit, resonance compensation unit, magnetic field transmitting unit and first charging control unit of the first charging component, as well as the first communication component are all arranged on another sub-PCB.

[0079] Figure 11 is a structural schematic diagram of a transmitting module provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 11, the first PCB includes two sub-PCBs, namely, a sub-PCB 1012 and another sub-PCB 1013. The voltage regulating unit 1022 of the first charging component 102 is set on the sub-PCB 1012, and the inverter unit 1023, resonance compensation unit 1024, magnetic field transmitting unit 1021 and first charging control unit 1025 of the first charging component 102, as well as the various units included in the first communication component 103 are all set on PCB 1013.

[0080] It can be understood that placing the DC-DC voltage regulation circuit in the transmitting module at the other end of the charging connector, separated from other circuits, is equivalent to moving part of the heat source to the other end of the port that contacts the electronic device, which can reduce the temperature rise at the end that contacts the electronic device.

[0081] Figure 12 is a schematic diagram of a transmitting module provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 12, the transmitting module includes a first charging component 102 and a first communication component 103. The first charging component 102 and the first communication component 103 are arranged on a PCB.

[0082] The first charging component 102 includes a magnetic field transmitting unit 1021, a voltage regulating unit 1022, an inverter unit 1023, a resonance compensation unit 1024, and a first charging control unit 1025. As shown in Figure 12, the magnetic field transmitting unit 1021 is a transmitting coil (Tx coil), the voltage regulating unit 1022 is a boost chip (Boost) and a DC-DC converter circuit (DC-DC), the inverter unit 1023 is a transmitting end control chip (Tx control), a bridge GaN driver (Bridge GaN Driver), and an inverting rectifier bridge, the resonance compensation unit 1024 is a resonance compensation network, and the first charging control unit 1025 is a microcontroller (MCU).

[0083] In Figure 12, the first charging component 102 mainly includes a DC-DC voltage regulation circuit, an inverter circuit, a resonant compensation network, a rectifier and filter circuit, and a transmitting coil. The basic working principle is as follows: the system control unit MCU controls the DC-DC (Boost in Figure 12) converter to boost or step down the input DC voltage source to the target inverter bus voltage, and then converts it into an AC square wave power supply through the inverter circuit (the inverse rectifier bridge in Figure 12), thereby stimulating the subsequent resonant compensation network and the transmitting coil (Tx coil in Figure 12), converting electrical energy into a magnetic field for outward radiation.

[0084] The first communication component 103 includes a first signal transceiver unit 1031, a signal switching unit 1032, a first communication control unit 1033, and a first signal amplification unit 1034. As shown in Figure 12, the first signal transceiver unit 1031 is a millimeter wave transceiver, the signal switching unit 1032 is a D+ / D- switch, the first communication control unit 1033 is a microcontroller unit (MCU), and the first signal amplification unit 1034 is a USB 2.0 repeater. The first communication control unit 1033 and the first charging control unit 1025 are the same MCU.

[0085] In Figure 12, the left end of the charging connector uses a conventional wired interface to connect to the PC. The USB 2.0 data signals DP and DM from the PC are connected to the DP and DM signal lines of the charging connector. An internal D+ / D- switch can switch the DP / DM signal pins to the MCU and the USB 2.0 repeater. The USB 2.0 repeater can enhance the strength and quality of the USB 2.0 signal. Initially, it defaults to the MCU for BC1.2 identification to identify the charging type (power supply device type). If the Session Description Protocol (SDP) type is used (i.e., connected to a PC), the D+ / D- switch switches the DP / DM signal pins to the USB 2.0 repeater. The USB 2.0 data signal is then transmitted via millimeter waves through the millimeter wave transceiver.

[0086] Figure 13 is a schematic diagram of another transmitting module provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 13, the transmitting module includes a first charging component 102 and a first communication component 103. The structure is exactly the same as that shown in Figure 12, but the PCB includes two PCBs.
