Disclosed some embodiment that relates generally to be used for to such as the method and system of the electronic equipment compact power charging of battery.More specifically, these embodiment relate to via radio link, such as by using radio frequency (RF) ripple, provide electric power to described electronic equipment.
Fig. 1 shows via the overview of radio link to the exemplary embodiment of the system of power electronic equipment or charging.In the exemplary embodiment, system comprises one or more transmitters 12, and each transmitter 12 is communicated by letter with one or more transmitting antennas 18.Fig. 1 illustrates one or more electronic equipments 14 and communicates by letter with one or more transmitters 12.
Transmitter 12 produces the signal that carries electric power or energy, by connecting transmitter to the feeder line (not shown) of antenna these signals is sent to transmitting antenna 18.In certain embodiments, the signal that carries electric power or energy can comprise radio frequency (RF) signal.In one embodiment, transmitter 12 can comprise radio frequency signals source and amplifier.The radio frequency signals source produces the radio frequency signals that limits power with specified frequency.The signal that produced of amplifier amplifying signal source is fed to transmitting antenna by the interface (for example RF cable) that is fit to amplifying signal then.
In one embodiment, transmitting antenna 18 can be omnidirectional antenna or directional antenna.Omnidirectional antenna is transmitted radio signal around antenna basically, and directional antenna concentrates on special angle with radio signal, for example less than 180 angles of spending.The signal angle coverage that antenna provided is weighed with the velocity of wave width usually.In another embodiment, wish to use directional antenna as transmitting antenna 18, such as the directional antenna that has the velocity of wave width between the 0.1-20 degree.For example, can about 0.05 degree, 0.1 degree, 0.2 degree, 0.25 degree, 0.3 degree, 0.5 degree, 0.75 degree, 1 degree, 2 degree, 3 degree, 4 degree, 5 degree, 6 degree, 7 degree, 8 degree, 9 degree, 10 degree, 11 degree, 12 degree, 13 degree, 14 degree, 15 degree, 16 degree, 17 degree, 18 degree, 19 degree or 20 degree or more many places select the velocity of wave width.In addition, turn round in the transmitting antenna 18 frequency place that is chosen to the signal launched in suitable gain.
In certain embodiments, the antenna of wishing to select to have high power gain makes and transmits enough electric power to rechargeable devices 14 (referring to Fig. 1) as transmitting antenna 18.In one embodiment, the power gain of transmitting antenna 18 can be about 5 decibels, 6 decibels, 7 decibels, 8 decibels, 9 decibels, 10 decibels, 11 decibels, 12 decibels, 13 decibels, 14 decibels, 15 decibels or 16 decibels (dBd) or more.In this file, dBd term description velocity of wave center power density is the known logarithm ratio of other comparable half-wave dipole antenna power densities relatively.When use had the antenna of 12 decibels of power gains, for example, transmitting antenna 18 can be concentrated the signal that it receives, and made that power gain is about 16 times from the power gain of simple half-wave dipole antenna.
The radio frequency signals that carries power or energy as noted above, that transmitting antenna 18 receives from transmitter 12 is emitted to electronic equipment 14 via radio link 16 with these signals.Electronic equipment 14 can be for comprising media player, PDA(Personal Digital Assistant), portable computer (for example notebook personal computer), mobile phone or portable phone, clock, electronic console or utilizing optional from such as at least one any rechargeable devices or the rechargeable devices not in other any equipment of the electric power of the portable source of rechargeable battery.The energy that explanation and use received of canonical system at least can be at No. the 2005/0194926th, U.S. Patent application and United States Patent (USP) the 6th to the method for electronic equipment 14 power supplies or charging, 127, No. 799 and the 7th, 012, find in No. 405, these are incorporated into as a reference at this.
Fig. 2 A, 2B and 2C show and can be used for the example of signal waveform of transferring electric power by the transmitter 12 of Fig. 1.Fig. 2 A is the X-Y scheme of pure (for example unmodulated substantially) sine wave signal.The longitudinal axis is represented the amplitude of pure sine wave signal and the transverse axis express time.Any for waveform discussed herein, based on context, amplitude can be represented voltage (weighing with volt), electric field strength (weighing with volt per metre), electric current (weighing with ampere) or magnetic field intensity (weighing with ampere per meter (A/m)).As shown, the pure sine wave signal is a periodic function of time.Fig. 2 B is the X-Y scheme of square-wave signal.The longitudinal axis is represented the amplitude of square-wave signal and the transverse axis express time.As shown, square-wave signal is a periodic function of time.Fig. 2 C is the X-Y scheme of frequency modulation sine wave signal.The longitudinal axis is represented the amplitude of frequency modulation sine wave signal and the transverse axis express time.The frequency modulation sine wave signal is shown periodic function of time.In Fig. 2 C, 0-t 1The frequency of FM signal during this time is different from t 1-t 2Frequency during this time.The signal of other waveform comprises for example FM signal shown in continuous wave (CW) simple signal, modulated sinusoid signal rather than Fig. 2 C, and other periodic signal also can be used to carry and send electric power to electronic equipment 14 (referring to Fig. 1).
Should be noted that modulation refer to change carrier signal (for example sinusoidal signal) but the process of measurement characteristics (such as amplitude, frequency or phase place or their some combinations) to convey a message.The variable signal that causes thus is called modulation signal.
In certain embodiments, transmitter 12 is configured to produce basic unmodulated signal, via radio link 16 to carry rechargeable energy (referring to Fig. 1).The example of basic unmodulated signal can for but be not limited to pure sine wave signal as implied above among Fig. 2 A.In one embodiment, pure (for example unmodulated substantially) sine wave signal is used to carry and send charging power.The characteristics of pure sine wave signal are the narrow relatively bandwidth that concentrates on the single substantially fundamental frequency.In another embodiment, other periodic wave signal such as square-wave signal, pulse signal, triangle signal, serrated signal or means of chaotic signals are made up of fundamental sine wave (base sinusoidal wave), can use at least a harmonic sine ripple (harmonic sinusoidal wave).Usually, the fundamental sine wave signal has low-limit frequency, is called fundamental frequency, and it has maximum amplitude usually.Harmonic sine ripple signal have fundamental frequency integral multiple frequency and have amplitude usually less than the fundamental sine wave signal.Because other periodic wave signal comprises at least a harmonic sine ripple signal, they have the bandwidth wideer than pure sine wave signal.Frequency modulation (FM) sinusoidal signal of a signal shown in Fig. 2 C also has the bandwidth wideer than pure sine wave signal, because it comprises the sine wave of basic different frequency.Use the pure sine wave signal to carry energy many other types signal parts that are better than are provided, therefore, it is selected to be better than other substitute in certain embodiments.
In one embodiment, use the pure sinusoid signal, transmitter 12 can advantageously reach high power transmission efficiency.The first, the pure sine wave signal has narrow frequency bandwidth, and this makes antenna and miscellaneous equipment accurately be mated aspect frequency and reaches high power transmission efficiency.The second, the single-frequency purity of transmission beam enables to collimate transmission, restriction wave beam diversity and causes high power transmission efficiency.
Another is exemplified as and uses the pure sine wave signal to come simplified system design and reduction manufacturing cost, because do not need modulation.Further, use the pure sine wave signal that disturbing effect is remained minimum value, because the pure sine wave signal has narrow frequency bandwidth.
Can select at any desirable frequency place to be used for energy-delivering signal, the power level that is suitable for carrying with transmitted power be enough to rechargeable devices 14 chargings.Usually, exemplary radio frequency signals has 3MHz to the frequency between the 30GHz.For example, be used for energy-delivering signal and can be the frequency of about 30MHz, 40MHz, 50MHz, 60MHz, 70MHz, 80MHz, 90MHz, 100MHz, 200MHz, 300MHz, 400MHz, 500MHz, 600MHz, 800MHz, 900MHz or 1GHz.
Many factors, technology with non-technology, expose such as the human body RF that FCC allowed, can influence to seek and be used for the search that signal carried and transmitted the frequency of electric power.For example, wish that also the equivalent gap length of reception antenna can be very big.Effective gap length of antenna significantly increases at the low frequency place, because it and square being directly proportional of wavelength.Therefore, the electric power of transmission increases.With the equivalent gap length of square metre antenna of weighing for from the input radio wave, by the ratio of the power density of power (watt) that antenna received and this ripple (watt every square metre).Use lower frequency to give us bigger effective gap length, but then, in stability at lower frequencies, the size of reception antenna such as dipole antenna, for the application such as mobile phone, may become trouble.In one embodiment, can select to have the signal of 1GHz, preferably arrive 36GHz at 12GHz to the frequency between the 40GHz.In another embodiment, can select to have 30MHz, be preferably 88MHz to 108MHz to the frequency between the 300MHz.The scope of frequency band that worldwide is used for FM broadcasting is from 88MHz to 108MHz.This frequency band is divided into 100 channels that have the 200kMZ space.Because transmission involved in the present invention can not disturbed existing FM channel, the dual use of applying for the single-frequency transmission in the space between channel is feasible.For example, transmission discussed herein can be carried out at 100.2MHz frequency place, and each of itself and adjacent channel 100.1MHz and 100.3MHz is at a distance of 100kHz.
Fig. 3 shows to pass on and is used for carrying and transmit the overview of energy to an exemplary embodiment of the system of the radio frequency signals of equipment from antenna.In the exemplary embodiment, transmitting antenna 18 sends the reception antenna 148 of pure sine wave radio frequency signals 17 to rechargeable devices 14.Transmitting antenna 18 can be directional antenna or omnidirectional antenna.
Radio frequency signals 17 can be modulation signal or basic unmodulated signal.In certain embodiments, radio frequency signals 17 is for unmodulated substantially.Because the defective in the system, signal can have little deviation on its amplitude, frequency or phase place, and for the purpose of the present invention, this can seriously not reduce its practicality.In other embodiments, for the purpose of the legal identification of transmitter or for differentiate which transmitter produce be used to install, the specific radio signal of adjustment or failure diagnosis, wish sometimes simply, amplitude, frequency or the phase place of modulation signal wittingly.In certain embodiments, FCC or other government organs can require the legal discriminating of radio transmitter.For example, can rely on continuous interruption of short duration in the radio signal transmission to realize legal discriminating, so that the Morse code of the catchword of representing this transmitter to be provided.In the exemplary embodiment, use pure sine wave radio frequency signals 17.
Reception antenna 148 is included in the transmitter shown in Figure 1 14 respectively.Alternatively, reception antenna 148 can externally be connected to rechargeable devices 14.Have at rechargeable devices 14 under the situation of the antenna that is used for data communication, reception antenna can be the same antenna with the antenna that is used for data communication, also can be different antennae.Therefore in certain embodiments, reception antenna 148 is configured to omnidirectional antenna, allows the user that rechargeable devices is placed in a plurality of directions one.In conjunction with Fig. 4, will describe rechargeable devices 14 further in detail.
Radio frequency signals (being also referred to as electromagnetic wave) is the synthetic lateral radiation ripple that is produced by electric field wave and magnetic field ripple.Between two parts of antenna, produce electric wave or voltage wave (weighing electric field E) when for example partly there is voltage difference in two of dipole antenna contact rods with volts/meter.When any part of electric current, when for example the major axis of two rods of electric current in dipole antenna flows, produce magnetic wave or current wave (weighing magnetic field H) with amperes per meter through antenna.The product of electric field E and magnetic field H provides the power density of radio frequency ripple (with watts/meter 2Weigh).Usually, polarization of electromagnetic wave (polarization) refers to the spatial orientation of electromagnetic electric field constituent element.The polarization of antenna refers to the polarization of electromagnetic wave that antenna is launched.When the polarised direction of reception antenna is parallel to the electromagnetic electric field orientation of input,, send maximum power to antenna from electromagnetic wave than other orientation of antenna.In No. the 5th, 936,575, United States Patent (USP) at least, disclosed the notion of radio wave polarization, incorporated into as a reference herein.
In certain embodiments, the polarization alinement of the polarization of transmitting antenna 18 and reception antenna 148 is used for the maximum power transmission.Because wish to allow the user that rechargeable devices 14 is placed on the desirable orientation, the polarization of transmitting antenna 18 can be adjusted by the electric field that rotates radio frequency signals 17, is suitable for coupling and arranges.
In one embodiment, transmitting antenna 18 and reception antenna 148 are directional antenna, make that setting up fixing point-to-point radio link is used for transmission.
Fig. 4 is the calcspar that an embodiment of rechargeable devices shown in Figure 1 14 is shown.Equipment 14 can comprise acceptor unit 142 and rechargeable battery 146.Rechargeable battery 146 can be for being configured to supply any electric power energy-storage units of electric power to rechargeable devices 14.Acceptor unit 142 is configured to receive the signal that carries charge power and uses the power that is received to rechargeable battery 146 chargings.Although acceptor unit 142 can be integrated in the rechargeable devices 14 in the exemplary embodiment, acceptor unit 142 can be separate unit, can be connected to various types of rechargeable devices 14 and, chargeable energy is sent to rechargeable devices 14 by wireless or cable by circuit wireless or that cable is set up.

As described in conjunction with Fig. 7, transmitting antenna 164 emission expression receives to the signal (referring to Fig. 1) of power density of the charging signals of transmitter 12 then.Transmitting antenna can be directional antenna or omnidirectional antenna.Transmitting antenna 164 can be separated with reception antenna 148 combinations or with reception antenna 148.Have under the situation that is used for radio communication at rechargeable devices 14, transmitting antenna 164 can be the same antenna with the antenna that is used for data communication, also can be different antennae.Many other replacement device are suitable for carrying report to transmit the signal of radio signal strength.For example, this information can rely on luminous ray or invisible ray (Infrared or ultraviolet light), relies on human that can hear or unheard voice signal or audible signal or rely on connecting line to report.
Fig. 5 shows and is used for via the schematic overview of radio link to another exemplary embodiment of the system of power electronic equipment or charging.In this embodiment, system comprises at least two transmitters (not shown among the figure) that are coupled at least two transmitting antenna 18a and 18b respectively, each transmitter pass on be used to carry with energy-delivering unmodulated substantially radio frequency signals with charged electronic equipment.The first transmitting antenna 18a sends the reception antenna 148 of the first radio frequency signals 17A to rechargeable devices 14.The second transmitting antenna 18b sends the second radio frequency signals 17B to reception antenna 148.What these radio frequency signals 17A and 17B can elect the similar Fig. 2 of relating to A, 2B and 2C as is used to transmit the above-mentioned charge power of discussing.These radio frequency signals 17A and 17B can be modulation signal or basic unmodulated signal.In this exemplary embodiment, use pure sine wave radio frequency signals 17A and 17B.In other embodiments, can use to surpass two transmitter, for example can use 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 or more transmitter simultaneously.
In certain embodiments, wish that the basic homophase of the first signal 17A and secondary signal 17B arrives reception antenna 148, so that the electric power that rechargeable devices 14 is received maximizes and realize that high efficiency power transmits.When two signals had differing of about 0 degree, they it is said homophase.In one embodiment, except when when being received by reception antenna 18a and 18b, have outside the phase deviation between two signals, the first signal 17A and secondary signal 17B are basic identical.Can calculate phase deviation, make the signal 17A that wins after by its transmitting antenna transmission separately, pass different radio links, arrive reception antenna 148 with differing of about 0 degree with secondary signal 17B.In another embodiment, the first basic unmodulated signal 17A and the second basic unmodulated signal 17B pure sinusoid radio frequency signals that is the same angular frequency.
Fig. 6 A, 6B and 6C show how coherent superposition of two in-phase signals.Fig. 6 A illustrates two identical sinusoidal radio frequency signals with Fig. 6 B, and wherein the amplitude of signal is a periodic function of time.The amplitude of each signal is represented the intensity of the electric field that signal produces.When arriving identical point, this two signal phases mutual interference.Fig. 6 C shows the consequential signal of this interference.Shown in Fig. 6 C, the amplitude that consequential signal has is the twice of the amplitude of each primary signal shown in Fig. 6 A and Fig. 6 B.Because square being directly proportional of the power density of radio frequency signals and electric field strength, the power density of the signal among Fig. 6 C are four times of any one power of considering two signals shown in Fig. 6 A and Fig. 6 B separately.Although use sinusoidal signal in example, modulation signal or basic unmodulated signal for other type can produce similar result.Similarly, although Fig. 6 A is identical with the exemplary signal shown in Fig. 6 B, they must be not identical amplitude for mutual coherent superposition.
Fig. 7 illustrates two radio frequency signals of transmission with simultaneously to the calcspar of the embodiment of the system of rechargeable devices power supply or charging.System 31 comprises generation common clock signal and sends the clock-signal generator 32 of clock signal to controller 34.In one embodiment, clock-signal generator 32 can be an oscillator.Controller 34 can have various embodiment.In one embodiment, controller 34 is a processor, and it can be any suitable general chip microprocessor or multi-disc microprocessor, perhaps any suitable special purpose microprocessor such as digital signal processor, microcontroller or programmable gate array.With traditional the same, processor can be configured to carry out one or more program command.
According to the common clock signal, by transmitter 12a and 12b, controller 34 is coordinated to produce two radio frequency signals 17A and 17B, makes two signals on common time frame.Each transmitter is connected to transmitting antenna separately, and this antenna transfers to rechargeable devices 14 with the radio frequency signals that is received.The radio frequency signals 17A that arrives rechargeable devices 14 then and 17B mutual interference and produce composite signal mutually.Rechargeable devices 14 receives the energy that carries in the composite signal then.The characteristic of radio frequency signals 17A and 17B can with the property class of the signal 17A that discussed among Fig. 5 and 17B seemingly.
Signal 17A and 17B arrive rechargeable devices 14 through their propagated separately respectively.Because signal 17A is different usually with the path that 17B is adopted, these signals are transmitted to the time that rechargeable devices 14 spent from transmitting antenna 17A or 17B can be different.Therefore, differ, when arriving rechargeable devices 14, have between signal 17A and the 17B and differ even have 0 degree by the signal 17A of transmitting antenna 12a and 12b emission and 17B.This length that differs at least in part according to the path between transmitting antenna 12a, 12b and the rechargeable devices 14 changes.Controller 34 can cause that transmitter 12a and 12b introduce phase deviation to compensate by differing of being introduced in different propagated between signal 17A and 17B, make these signals substantially in phase arrive rechargeable devices.
In certain embodiments, controller 34 can be followed the trail of the signal strength signal intensity of the chargeable signal of rechargeable devices 14.Discuss as above-mentioned, rechargeable devices 14 can comprise signal power detector 162 and transmitting antenna 164 (referring to Fig. 4).The signal strength signal intensity of the charging signals that signal power detector 162 detection rechargeable devices 14 are received sends the feedback signal of representing these signal strength signal intensities via transmitting antenna 164.System 31 also comprises the reception antenna 38 that is connected to receiver 36.Reception antenna and receiver 36 receive the signal of the signal strength signal intensity at expression rechargeable devices 14 places, will be pushed into controller 34 before the same signal.As has been noted, slave unit to the signal of controller can use up, sound or other method except that radio realize.
In certain embodiments, the desired value of the signal 17A at transmitting antenna place and the phase deviation between the 17B can by in a scope with the skew of the mode control phase that increases progressively and monitor that the corresponding signal intensity of the charging signals that rechargeable devices was received determines.In one embodiment, differing between these signals before these signals are launched, radio frequency signals 17B is identical with radio frequency signals 17A.
In one embodiment, also be used to regulate the polarization of transmitting antenna 18a and 18b, make the polarization alinement (referring to Fig. 3) of its polarization and reception antenna 148 from the feedback signal of rechargeable devices 14.As the discussion of relevant Fig. 3, when the mutual alinement of polarization of two antennas, the power between transmitting antenna and the reception antenna transmits maximization.The orientation of the electromagnetic electric field by rotating transmitting antenna 18a, controller 34 is adjusted the polarization of transmitting antenna 18a in the mode that increases progressively, and for example, spends to 90 degree from 0.Monitoring from the feedback signal of equipment 14 to determine which angle to reach maximum power in transmits.At first, can be to adjust angle to find the near-optimization angle such as the increment of 10 degree.In case determine the near-optimization angle, can be to adjust angle such as the increment of 0.5 degree to find more angle near optimal angle.In case adjust the polarization of the polarization of transmitting antenna 18a, can repeat identical process to adjust polarization such as other transmitting antenna of 18b with matched receiving antenna 148.
There are a lot of methods to adjust the polarization of antenna.In one embodiment, the signal controlling that controlled device 34 is sent, transmitting antenna 12a and 12b are mechanically rotatable.In another embodiment, each root of transmitting antenna 12a and 12b comprises vertically disposed radiated element and horizontally disposed radiated element.Be applied to voltage on the antenna between vertically disposed radiated element and the horizontally disposed radiated element by dividing in the mode that increases progressively and reversing, the polarization of antenna can be spent to 90 degree from 0 and be adjusted.
