Change the method for the mode of wireless power transmitter according to the power information of wireless power receiver
Hereinafter, it will illustrate the illustrate by 1 system of wireless power specification part in WPC the 5th referring to Figure 20 to 32 Chapter system control in identification and the new stage is added between configuration phase and power transmission stage by mid power (~15W) System is extended to low-power (5W) system for the technology that uses.
Firstly, providing the communication protocol in the wireless power transmitter/receiver using mid power referring to Figure 20 to 23 The description of selection method.
Figure 20 is to show the concept map of WPC communication stream, and Figure 21 is the side shown according to an illustrative embodiments The view of communication stream in method, Figure 22 are the structural maps of the identification data packet of receiver, and Figure 23 shows presented herein The flow chart of communication stream.
The hardware of mid power wireless power transmitter can have full-bridge construction, higher to send than existing transmitter Power.Herein, when transmitting electric power to existing 5W receiver with full-bridge mode (or using full-bridge construction or full-bridge inverter), electricity Pressure and electric current may be greatly unfettered.This may cause receiver to damage.
Therefore, it is necessary to a kind of permission mid power wireless power transmitters even steadily to transmit electric power to 5W receiver Method.
It will be apparent that mid power transmitter TX steadily transmits electric power to mid power receiver RX.It may be additionally required Interoperability between mid power transmitter TX and existing low-power reception system.For this purpose, based on the letter of the version collected by the RX Breath, the disclosure allow TX to execute LC drive mode (half-bridge and full-bridge) conversion, thus for low-power reception system and medium Every kind in power coded system is stable and appropriate.
As indicated, can add to existing WPC communication stream at the time of receiving the first control error after identifying receiver Add the processing for determining version information relevant to the identification data packet collected from RX to change LC drive mode.
As more detailed example, full-bridge and half-bridge inverter can be used according to the wireless power transmitter of the disclosure Open up benefit structure.That is, wireless power transmitter may include for switching full-bridge and half-bridge inverter (or switching full-bridge and half-bridge mould Formula) electric power transfer unit.
Wireless power transmission method according to the disclosure may include that detection wireless power receiver whether there is in can In the range of transmitting electric power to it with wireless method, and it will test signal and be sent to wireless power receiver.It can be by preceding The description in face understands these processes, therefore its detailed description will be omitted.
Next, this method can also include receiving the identification information as transmitted by wireless power receiver and setting information At least one of (S120), and from wireless power receiver receive control error information packet (S130).It is received as the information The preliminary step of collection can execute half-bridge mode driving (S110).Herein, this method can also be included in existing WPC communication stream The time point that the first control error is received after middle identification receiver is known collected by the wireless power receiver by determining Version information in other data packet and change LC drive mode.Here, the disclosure can be without being limited thereto.For example, it is also possible to pass through receipts Collect the maximum power information in addition to version information to determine low power receiver or mid power receiver.
Finally, in wireless power transmission method, in order to control the amount of power to be transmitted, wireless power transmitter can make With the operating frequency of full-bridge or half-bridge inverter, the combination of duty ratio or power signal phase.That is, wireless power transmitter can be with It is that mid power receiver or low-power connect based on the corresponding wireless power receiver notified by wireless power receiver Device is received, with one of full-bridge drive mode and half-bridge driven mode driving power transmission unit (S140).
For example, in the negotiation phase with mid power, from mid power receiver receive the first control error it Afterwards, inverter can be opened up to benefit structure and change into full-bridge (inverter) from half-bridge (inverter).
In this case, according to whether initial LC drive mode from half-bridge mode is switched to full-bridge mode or from complete Bridge mode is switched to slab bridge mode, may cause the stability problem of receiver.This is that the rectified voltage of receiver is likely to The conversion of the LC drive mode used due to identification power receiver and when frequency transformation and twice or half of sudden change (1/2) Times the reason of.
In order to solve this problem, the first control error information packet can received from mid power wireless power receiver Inverter, which is opened up benefit structure, later becomes full-bridge from half-bridge.When receiving the first control error information packet, can be based on from nothing Version information in the collected identification data packet of line power receiver selects the amount of power to be transmitted.In more detail, show herein In example property embodiment, wireless power transmitter initially can drive its LC at the frequency with high-gain with half-bridge mode Circuit, and check that receiver is mid power receiver.Then it is converted to after receiving the first control error information packet When full-bridge, frequency transformation can be the frequency with low gain by wireless power transmitter, thus prevent voltage from applying too much To primary side (receiver-side).
As an example, transmitter can initially be driven under the high power frequency for being transferred to receiver with half-bridge mode Dynamic lc circuit.When receiver is identified, transmitter can collect version information relevant to receiver.Herein, receiver can By identifying that its version information is sent to transmitter by data packet (referring to fig. 2 2).Then transmitter can be in the recognition stage Receive the version information of receiver.
Voltage corresponding with half-bridge can be used as initial voltage in the electric power transfer unit of wireless power transmitter.Cause This, the initial voltage of half-bridge can be 12V.Furthermore, it is possible to be arranged original frequency in 135 to 145kHz (duty ratios 50%) Range.In more detail, in order to by the test of existing low power receiver, in identification receiver (executing number ping) time-frequency Rate can be set to 140kHz.
Next, LC drive mode can be switched to full-bridge from half-bridge, such as when the version information of receiver is more than 2.0 Fruit is not then to remain half-bridge driven mode.That is, transmitter can incite somebody to action when the version information for checking receiver is more than 2.0 Its lc circuit is switched to full-bridge mode to transmit electric power.When half-bridge is switched to full-bridge, working frequency (or driving frequency, under In text " driving frequency ") (S150) can be converted.
In this way, wireless power transmitter can start to drive lc circuit with half-bridge mode, and it is based on version information determination It is no that lc circuit is switched to full-bridge.
When being converted to full-bridge from half-bridge, the range for not damaging the rectifier circuit of RX can be arranged in initial frequency by TX It is interior.As an example, only when keeping identical frequency switching drive mode, yield value can increase twice.Therefore, when RX is needed When wanting yield value less than twice, the initial frequency of TX be can be set to more than 140kHz.That is, the driving frequency in full-bridge mode can More than 140kHz.
Figure 24 and 25 is to show the exemplary concept map used of mid power, Figure 26 and 27 be respectively using full-bridge and The construction view of the circuit of half-bridge.
Pid algorithm should be used to carry out the control of power transmission.As shown in figure 24, it is to be understood that when duty ratio is 40% and phase shift be 80% when, output power corresponds respectively to full-bridge.Therefore, as shown in figure 25, voltage is applied only to driving 1 Half-bridge mode can be full-bridge mode by applying alive phase shift variation to each of driving 1 and driving 2.
As more detailed numerical value, driving frequency range can be fopThe phase shift range of=110~205kHz, full-bridge can To be 80% to 100%.In addition, driving frequency range is in fopIt can be 50% to 100% when=205kHz.
The duty cycle range of half-bridge is in fopIt can be 40% to 50% when=110~205kHz, in fopIt can when=205kHz To be 25% to 50%.
Higher driving frequency or lower phase or duty ratio may cause to transmit lower amount of electric power.In order to transmit The electric power of sufficient amount can use following solution control driving frequencies.
0.07 × fop-0.5kHz, for the f within the scope of 110 to 140kHzop
0.006 × fop-0.4kHz, for the f within the scope of 140 to 205kHzop
It,, can be in the form of the reverse signal of PWM1 or phase shifted versions in full-bridge mode referring to Figure 26 for hardware construction The PWM2 pulse of microcomputer output terminal is generated, to drive lc circuit.In half-bridge mode, reference Figure 27, microcomputer output terminal PWM2 pulse can be transformed to the ground signalling of driving lc circuit, and correspondingly, half-bridge output can be as shown in the first figure of Figure 25 Ground indicates.The hardware construction can change as various forms.
Figure 28 and 29 is to show the construction view of the modification using full-bridge and the circuit of half-bridge respectively.
It is different from the aforementioned illustrative embodiments using synchronous selection pass driver, in the illustrative embodiments, drive Dynamic device can be connected respectively to switch, can be by the way that the PWM3 of microcomputer output terminal and 4 pulses to be generated as to the reversion of PWM1 and 2 Signal form or phase shifted versions drive the lc circuit of full-bridge mode.Furthermore, it is possible to by by the PWM3 arteries and veins of microcomputer output terminal It rushes and is embodied as the reverse signal form of PWM1, PWM2 pulse is embodied as GND and PWM4 is embodied as high RST to drive half The lc circuit of bridge mode.
In addition, the disclosure can be disclosed for converting the another exemplary embodiment initially driven.Hereinafter, will join The another exemplary embodiment is described in more detail according to Figure 30 to 32.
Figure 30 is to show the flow chart of the communication stream according to another exemplary embodiment, and Figure 31 and 32 is to show root According to the exemplary concept map used of the mid power of another exemplary embodiment.
As shown in Figure 30 to 32, transmitter can be before receiving the first control error according to existing WPC communication stream Its lc circuit is initially driven with full-bridge mode under the frequency with low gain, and by receiving and collecting version information inspection Receiver is low power receiver (S220), and receives the first control error (S230).Hereafter, transmitter can be converted to When half-bridge mode by frequency transformation be the frequency with low gain, so that voltage be prevented to be applied to primary side (low-power too much Receiver).
In more detail, when in order to (be held in identification receiver by the test for existing low-power interoperable receiver Line number word ping) when needing to be more than the low frequency of 205kHz, the phase shift for full-bridge driving signal can be executed or can be with Adjust duty ratio.For example, the initial drive frequency of full-bridge can be 205kHz, duty ratio can be 40%.
Herein, when the version information of receiver is lower than 2.0, LC drive mode can be switched to half-bridge mould from full-bridge mode Formula (S240) can keep full-bridge mode if being not less than 2.0.When being switched to half-bridge from full-bridge, may cause to be transferred to The problem of amount of power of receiver reduces.In order to compensate for that, driving frequency (S250) can be converted.As a reality Example, for TX coil MP-A2, can drive lc circuit under the operating frequency of 140kHz and 40% duty ratio.Then, work as version When this is lower than 2.0, the frequency of half-bridge can be transformed to 140kHz.
Therefore, power transmitter design MP-A2 is opened up using half-bridge and full-bridge inverter mends structure driving primary coil and string Join capacitor.In above-mentioned defined operating frequency range, the component of primary coil and shielding has self-induction Lp=7.8uH.Series connection The value of capacitor is Cp=328nF.The input voltage of inverter is 12V.Neighbouring resonance, the voltage across series capacitance development can Reach more than the level of 200V pk-pk.
In this way, receiver can send transmitter for the version information of its own by identification data packet, transmitter can To keep existing LC drive mode, until receiving the first control error.Then transmitter can be based on the version of receiver Information determines that receiver is low power receiver or mid power receiver.According to identified as a result, transmitter can change Become LC drive mode and conversion frequency.This can cause to eliminate the risk that high pressure is applied to receiver.
