Description

Overvoltage protection device for wireless charging system and control method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of wireless charging, and particularly relates to an overvoltage protection device for a wireless charging system and a control method thereof.
Background
The wireless charging equipment of volume production in the market at present mostly adopts the electromagnetic induction principle, and whole wireless charging system includes transmitting terminal inverter circuit, transmitting coil, transmitting terminal demodulation modulation circuit, transmitting terminal controller, receiving terminal coil, receiving terminal rectifier circuit, receiving terminal modulation demodulation circuit, receiving terminal controller etc. constitute, and the system block diagram is as shown in fig. 1. The power path is characterized in that a transmitting end converts direct current into alternating current energy through an inverter circuit, a time-varying magnetic field is generated through a transmitting coil, alternating electromotive force is induced on a receiving coil by the time-varying magnetic field, and the energy is transmitted to a rear stage after rectification; and in the communication path, a receiving end carries out information transmission with a transmitting end in a 2kHz frequency by a load modulation mode, the working state of the receiving end is fed back, and a time delay of more than millisecond level exists between the power path and the communication path. When the system works, the receiving end is in a role of passively receiving energy, and when the coupling degree of the receiving end and the transmitting end or the load is suddenly changed, the consumed amount of the receiving end is smaller than the received energy, so that the receiving end is in overvoltage. Due to the large time delay of the communication path, an overvoltage state cannot be fed back to the transmitting end quickly, the receiving end cannot cut off energy transmission actively, and redundant energy can only be released by the overvoltage protection circuit, so that the receiving end can be damaged if the releasing capacity is not enough or the releasing is not timely.
At present, wireless charging overvoltage protection is basically realized by adding a leakage path at a receiving end. As shown in fig. 2, method 1 is implemented by means of a bleed resistor, when the VRECT voltage exceeds the OVP threshold, the output of the over-voltage comparator is high, the NMOS Q9 is driven to open, and the resistor R1 intervenes to provide a discharge path for VRECT; method 2 is implemented by means of a current source load, when the VRECT voltage exceeds the OVP threshold, the output of the overvoltage comparator is high, the NMOS Q10 is driven to be turned on, and the current source load intervenes to provide a discharge path for VRECT. The method 2 has controllable magnitude of the discharge current, can set different discharge energies according to the overvoltage condition, and is more flexible than the method 1. At present, overvoltage protection of a receiving end is basically realized through the two modes or the combination.
However, the conventional overvoltage protection method has obvious defects: after the receiving end is in overvoltage, overvoltage information needs to be transmitted to the transmitting end through a modulation signal, tens of milliseconds to hundreds of milliseconds are needed in the process, and the response speed is low; before the transmitting end actively adjusts the transmitting energy, the receiving end can be in an overvoltage state for a long time, and an overvoltage discharge protection circuit needs to intervene for a long time and is seriously heated, even can be damaged due to overheating. As shown in fig. 3, when VRECT is over-voltage, the discharging resistor and the dummy load intervene in discharging energy, meanwhile, the receiving end transmits over-voltage information to the transmitting end in an ASK modulation mode, and the transmitting end disconnects energy transmission after receiving the information; because the ASK information transmission time is between 20ms and 200ms, when serious overvoltage occurs, the system cannot rapidly disconnect energy transmission from a source; the power consumption of the discharge resistor or the dummy load when the OVP voltage is discharged can reach 2W-4W, the size of a receiving end is limited, the area of a discharge passage is smaller, and therefore the long-time intervention can also cause the damage of a discharge channel.
