The existing head-mounted equipment can be roughly divided into a split type and an integrated type in form. The split type device includes a head-mounted display portion (hereinafter referred to as a head display portion) and also includes a host portion. The head display part only comprises necessary functional modules such as a display module, a camera module, an environment sensor module and the like, and modules such as a processor, a battery and the like are arranged on the host part. Although the split type equipment reduces the volume and the weight of the head display part to a great extent and improves the use comfort, the head display part and the host machine part need to be connected through a lead, so that the split type equipment is inconvenient to carry and use.

Before describing embodiments of the present disclosure in detail, a wireless charging technique is described.
In the wireless charging process, generally, the output power of a power supply device (e.g., a power adapter) or a battery in the wireless charging device is wirelessly (e.g., electromagnetic signals or electromagnetic waves) transmitted to a device to be charged (e.g., a head-mounted device in the embodiment of the present disclosure) by a wireless charging device (e.g., a wireless charging cradle or an equipment box in the embodiment of the present disclosure), so as to wirelessly charge the device to be charged.
According to different wireless charging principles, wireless charging methods are mainly classified into three methods, namely magnetic coupling (or electromagnetic induction), magnetic resonance and radio wave. Currently, the mainstream Wireless charging standards include QI standard, Power association (PMA) standard, and Wireless Power association (A4 WP) standard. The QI standard and the PMA standard both adopt a magnetic coupling mode for wireless charging. The A4WP standard uses magnetic resonance for wireless charging.
Hereinafter, aspects of example embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating a wireless charging system according to an exemplary embodiment.
As shown in fig. 1, the wireless charging system 1 includes: a wireless charging device 12 and a device to be charged 13.
The wireless charging device 12 may be, for example, a wireless charging cradle.
The device to be charged 13 may be, for example, a head-mounted device provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure described below.
The wireless charging device 12 includes: wireless transmitting circuit 121, control module 122 and charging interface 123.
The wireless transmitting circuit 121 is configured to convert electrical energy into an electromagnetic signal (or an electromagnetic wave) for transmission, so as to wirelessly charge the device to be charged 13.
The electric energy is provided for the wireless charging device 12 after the power supply device 11 (such as a power adapter, a mobile power supply, etc.) is connected with the wireless charging device 12 through the charging interface 123.
The wireless transmission circuit 121 may include: a wireless transmission drive circuit and a transmission coil (or transmission antenna). The wireless transmission driving circuit is used for converting the direct current output by the power supply device 11 into high-frequency alternating current, and converting the high-frequency alternating current into an electromagnetic signal (or electromagnetic wave) through a transmitting coil or a transmitting antenna to be transmitted.
The Control module 122 may be implemented by a Micro Control Unit (MCU), for example. The control module 122 may be configured to wirelessly communicate with the device to be charged 13 during the process of wirelessly charging the device to be charged 13 by the wireless charging apparatus 12. Specifically, the control module 122 may wirelessly communicate with the control module 134 in the device to be charged 13.
The charging interface 123 may be, for example, a USB interface satisfying USB 2.0 specification, USB3.0 specification, and USB3.1 specification, and includes: micro USB interface or USB TYPE-C interface. In some embodiments, the charging interface 123 may also be a lightning interface, or any other type of parallel or serial interface capable of being used for charging.
The wireless charging device 12 can communicate with the power supply device 11, for example, via the charging interface 123, without providing an additional communication interface or other wireless communication module, which can simplify the implementation of the wireless charging device 12. If the charging interface 123 is a USB interface, the wireless charging device 12 (or the wireless transmitting circuit 121) and the power supply device 11 can communicate based on a data line (e.g., a D + line and/or a D-line) in the USB interface. As another example, the charging interface 123 is a USB interface (e.g., a USB TYPE-C interface) supporting a Power Delivery (PD) communication protocol, and the wireless charging device 12 (or the wireless transmitting circuit 121) and the Power supply device 11 can communicate based on the PD communication protocol.
Further, the wireless charging device 12 may be communicatively connected to the power supply device 11 by another communication method other than the charging interface 123. For example, the wireless charging device 12 may communicate with the power supply device 11 in a wireless manner, such as NFC communication.
The device to be charged 13 includes: a wireless receiving circuit 132, a control module 134, a voltage conversion module 136 and a battery 138.
The wireless receiving circuit 132 in the device to be charged 13 is configured to receive the electromagnetic signal (or electromagnetic wave) transmitted by the wireless transmitting circuit 121 and convert the electromagnetic signal (or electromagnetic wave) into the direct current output by the wireless receiving circuit 132. For example, the wireless receiving circuit 132 may include: a receiving coil or a receiving antenna, and a shaping circuit such as a rectifying circuit and/or a filter circuit connected to the receiving coil or the receiving antenna. The wireless receiving circuit 132 converts the electromagnetic signal (or electromagnetic wave) transmitted by the wireless transmitting circuit 121 into an alternating current by a receiving coil or a receiving antenna, and rectifies and/or filters the alternating current by a shaping circuit, thereby converting the alternating current into a stable direct current to charge the battery 138.
It should be noted that the embodiment of the present invention does not specifically limit the specific form of the shaping circuit and the form of the output voltage and the output current of the wireless receiving circuit 132 obtained after shaping by the shaping circuit.
When the output voltage of the wireless receiving circuit 132 cannot meet the requirement of the charging voltage expected by the battery 138 and/or the output current of the wireless receiving circuit 132 cannot meet the requirement of the charging current expected by the battery 138, the output voltage may be converted by the voltage converting module 136 to obtain the charging voltage and/or the charging current expected by the battery 138. The voltage and current output by the voltage conversion module 136 are applied to both ends of the battery 138 to meet the expected charging voltage and/or charging current requirements of the battery 138.
Battery 138 may include a single cell or multiple cells. When battery 138 includes multiple cells, the multiple cells may be in a series relationship. Therefore, the charging voltage which can be borne by the battery 138 is the sum of the charging voltages which can be borne by a plurality of battery cores, the charging speed can be increased, and the charging heat emission can be reduced.
The control module 134 may be implemented by, for example, a separate MCU, or may also be implemented by an Application Processor (AP) inside the device to be charged 13. The control module 134 is used to communicate with the control module 122 in the wireless charging device 12.
The control module 134 communicates with the wireless charging device 12 in a wireless manner, and the disclosure does not limit the communication manner and the communication sequence between the wireless charging device 12 and the device to be charged 13 (the control module 134). For example, the radio communication may be unidirectional radio communication or bidirectional radio communication. May be a communication initiated by the device to be charged 13 or may be a communication initiated by the wireless charging apparatus 12. In the wireless communication process, the device to be charged 13 may couple the information to be transmitted to the receiving coil of the wireless receiving circuit 132, so as to transmit the information to the transmitting coil of the wireless transmitting circuit 121, and then the wireless transmitting circuit 121 transmits the decoupled information to the control module 122. Conversely, in the two-way communication, the wireless charging apparatus 12 may couple the information to be transmitted to the transmitting coil of the wireless transmitting circuit 121, to be transmitted to the receiving coil of the wireless receiving circuit 132 of the device to be charged 13, and to be decoupled by the receiving coil of the wireless receiving circuit 132 of the device to be charged 13.
Alternatively, the device to be charged 13 may also communicate with the wireless charging apparatus 12 through at least one of bluetooth, WiFi, mobile cellular network communication (e.g., 2G, 3G, 4G, or 5G), wireless communication (e.g., ieee 802.11, 802.15(WPANs), 802.16(WiMAX), 802.20, etc.), short-range wireless communication based on a high-frequency antenna (e.g., 60GHz), optical communication (e.g., infrared communication), ultrasonic communication, ultra-wideband (UMB) communication, and other communication methods. It can be understood that, when the communication is performed by the above-mentioned communication method, the device to be charged 13 and the wireless charging device 12 further include corresponding communication modules, such as a bluetooth communication module, a WiFi communication module, a 2G/3G/4G/5G mobile communication module, a high-frequency antenna, and an optical communication module. At least one of an ultrasonic communication module, an ultra-wideband communication module, and the like. It should be understood that the standards that may be employed for wireless communication as described above include past and existing standards, as well as future versions and standards that employ such standards without departing from the scope of this disclosure. By performing communication by the above-described wireless communication method, the reliability of communication can be improved, thereby improving charging safety. Compared with the method of coupling the feedback information to the receiving coil of the wireless receiving circuit 132 for communication through signal modulation in the related art (for example, the Qi standard), the reliability of communication can be improved, and voltage ripples caused by signal coupling communication can be avoided from affecting the voltage processing process of the voltage conversion module 136 of the device to be charged 13. In addition, for the voltage ripple when the wireless receiving coil outputs, if the ripple is not effectively processed, the wireless charging safety problem may be caused, and certain potential safety hazard exists. By the above wireless communication method, the voltage ripple can be eliminated, so that a circuit for processing the voltage ripple can be omitted, the complexity of the charging circuit of the device to be charged 13 is reduced, the charging efficiency is improved, the circuit setting space is saved, and the cost is reduced.
Fig. 2A is a schematic diagram illustrating a configuration of a head-mounted device according to an exemplary embodiment.

With continued reference to fig. 2A, the battery 101 may be charged by providing the wireless receiving circuit 103A and the wireless receiving circuit 103B such that the head-mounted device 10 may receive power through the two wireless charging channels when wirelessly charging. The wireless charging power can be greatly increased (because the charging power can be almost doubled when two wireless charging channels are used), thereby accelerating the charging speed of the battery 101.
It should be noted that although fig. 2A illustrates two wireless receiving circuits 103A and 103B, more wireless receiving circuits, for example, three or four wireless receiving circuits may be provided.

When a plurality of wireless receiving circuits 103C are included, the plurality of wireless receiving circuits 103C may be provided in the connection unit 104A and the connection unit 104B, respectively, or may be provided in both the connection unit 104A and the connection unit 104B, and the disclosure is not limited thereto.
As mentioned above, a wireless charging channel is further added, so that the charging power can be further improved, and the charging speed is accelerated.
In some embodiments, still taking the head mounted device 10C shown in fig. 4 as an example, the battery 101 may be disposed in the connection unit 104A or the connection unit 104B, for example. In fig. 4, the battery 101 is disposed in the connection unit 104A as an example, but the disclosure is not limited thereto.
In other embodiments, a battery may also be provided in the head display unit 102. Fig. 5 is a schematic diagram illustrating yet another head mounted device according to an example embodiment.
