Description

Foreign matter detection method and device applied to wireless charging
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of wireless charging, in particular to foreign matter detection in wireless charging.
Background
At present, wireless charging is widely applied, and the safety in the charging process is more and more concerned by people. Most of the wireless charging techniques currently in commercial use are based on the principle of electromagnetic coupling, i.e. once the receiver coil is close to the transmitter coil, a current is generated in the receiver coil by electromagnetic induction. In practical products, if a metal object is accidentally placed on the transmitting coil, once charging is started, the metal may be heated by electromagnetic waves, and if the presence of the metal object cannot be timely detected, the temperature of the metal may rise to a level sufficient to scald human skin, and even a fire risk may occur.
Conventionally, detection of metallic foreign matter is generally performed by using a temperature sensor, a Q value of a detection coil, or a method of calculating a loss of energy or the like. The limitation of using a temperature sensor is that the probe cannot directly contact the surface of the mold, and a large error occurs; the Q value detection of the coil needs an additional circuit, and the precision is greatly influenced by the position of the receiver; the energy loss calculation refers to that the receiver returns the received power to the charger, the charger subtracts the power received by the receiver from the power transmitted by the receiver, and if the difference between the two is large, the receiver indicates that other objects nearby absorb electromagnetic waves, so that the energy loss calculation is easy to implement and accurate. The mainstream way in the 5W scheme is to add an extended Foreign Object Detection function FOD Extension (Foreign Object Detection Extension) in the basic Power version BPP (less than or equal to 5W) (base Power Profile). As shown in fig. 1, the FOD extension includes a synchronization Phase (synchronization Phase) and a Calibration Phase (Calibration Phase), both of which require to support two-way communication, however, the wireless charging consortium WPC promulgates the latest V1.2.4 Qi protocol in 3 months of 2018, which requires that two-way communication cannot be added to the BPP, that is, the BPP charger cannot realize the synchronization Phase and the Calibration Phase, that is, cannot detect the energy loss by using the FOD extension. Therefore, a new method is needed to calculate the energy loss to further achieve foreign object detection.

One skilled in the relevant art will recognize, however, that the embodiments may be practiced without one or more of the specific details, or with other alternative and/or additional methods, materials, or components. In other instances, well-known structures, materials, or operations are not shown or described in detail to avoid obscuring aspects of embodiments of the invention. Similarly, for purposes of explanation, specific numbers, materials and configurations are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the invention. However, the invention may be practiced without specific details. Further, it should be understood that the embodiments shown in the figures are illustrative representations and are not necessarily drawn to scale.
Reference in the specification to "one embodiment" or "the embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment is included in at least one embodiment of the invention. The appearances of the phrase "in one embodiment" in various places in the specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment.
It should be noted that, in the embodiments of the present invention, the process steps are described in a specific order, however, this is only for convenience of distinguishing the steps, and the order of the steps is not limited, and in different embodiments of the present invention, the order of the steps may be adjusted according to the adjustment of the process.
The invention provides a foreign matter detection method applied to wireless charging, which follows V1.2.4 version Qi protocol, does not need to carry out bidirectional communication, and directly calculates power loss, thereby realizing the detection of metal foreign matters.
As shown in fig. 3a and 3b, a device designed and produced according to the WPC protocol and its requirements is placed on a charger, and after entering a charging phase, a receiver in the device sends a control error packet and a received power packet at a certain time interval, where the control error packet is used to control the magnitude of the sent power, and if the control error is zero, it means that the power does not need to be adjusted, and enters a stable charging state, and if the control error is negative, it indicates that the charging current needs to be reduced, otherwise, it indicates that the charging current needs to be increased. After sending a control error packet tdelay+tcontrolAfter a time, the current starts to be regulated, and tdelay+tcontrolThe transmitter in the charger does not send any data packets during the time period during which foreign object detection may be performed.
As shown in fig. 2, a foreign object detection method applied to wireless charging includes:
step 201, obtaining received power Pr. After entering the stable charging phase, the receiver follows the time interval t defined by the Qi protocolreceivedAnd transmitting the reception power packet. In one embodiment of the present invention, after entering the steady charging phase, the receiver sends a received power packet to the transmitter every 1.5s, and the transmitter obtains the received power.
Step 202, calculating the transmission power Pt. The transmitter samples power supply voltage and current according to the same interval as the sending time interval of the received power packet, and calculates the transmitting power;
step 203, calculating the power loss Pl,Pl=Pt-Pr
According to power loss PlCan judge whether or notA foreign object. In particular, according to the power loss PlDetermining whether foreign objects are present may include one or more of steps 204, 205, and 206, below.
Step 204, calculating the power loss percentage R, R ═ Pl/Pt)*100%;
Only one comparison result may not accurately determine whether there is a metal foreign object, so that multiple comparisons need to be performed simultaneously to determine whether there is a foreign object, and therefore, in step 205, the power loss percentage and the threshold are compared, and if the power loss percentage is greater than the threshold, a count is performed;
step 206, comparing the count value with the set value, and if the count value is greater than the set value, indicating that a foreign object exists. Otherwise, indicating no foreign matter, returning to step 201.
After step 204 is completed, step 210, threshold adjustment, is performed before the determination is made. The initial threshold value is determined when the transmitter leaves a factory, and specifically, is calculated by using a debugging program according to a mold and a transmitting coil adopted by the transmitter. In the charging process, the transmitter adjusts the threshold value according to the sending power and the coil coupling degree of the transmitter and the receiver. In one embodiment of the present invention, the threshold adjustment is specifically as follows:
when the transmission power is lower than the set value 1, the threshold value is increased by C1%;
when the transmission power is higher than the set value 2, the threshold value is reduced by C2%;
when the coil coupling degree is lower than a set value 3, increasing the threshold value by C3%; and
when the coil coupling is higher than the set value of 4, the threshold is decreased by C4%.
The set value 1, the set value 2, the set value 3, the set value 4, the C1, the C2, the C3 and the C4 are determined through tests before the transmitter leaves a factory.
