Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional wireless charging devices have inefficient bidirectional charging, leading to reduced battery lifespan and low electricity efficiency due to fixed directional charging, which causes cumulative damage and worsens battery discharge/charge efficiency with increasing charges.

Innovation Solution

A bypass control bidirectional wireless charging device with a logic control unit, wireless transmission unit, full-bridge inverter, buck-boost unit, discharging switch unit, back current prevention unit, and selective switch unit, which allows power to be supplied by external power during discharging and by the battery during charging, transforming alternating current to direct current for efficient charging and discharging.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

AI summary

A bypass control bidirectional wireless charging device provides bidirectional charging mode, in which includes a logic control unit electrically connected to a wireless transmission unit, a full-bridge inverter, a buck-boost unit, a discharging switch unit, a back current prevention unit and a selective switch unit. While the wireless discharging mode started, the discharging switch unit turned on and the battery provided the transmitting power. While the back current prevention device connected to an external power, the discharging switch unit turned off and the back current prevention device turned off to provide the transmitting power by the battery. While the wireless charging mode started, the handheld devices or the loadings were charged by the wireless charging to achieve the purpose of increasing the effective duration of the battery and the electricity efficiency.
