Description

201106572 六、發明說明: 【發明所屬之技術領域】 本發明大體而言係關於無線電力轉移,且更具體言之, 係關於與調適性地調整一接收器裝置中之阻抗以改良無線 電力轉移有關的裝置、系統及方法。 本申請案根據35 U.S.C. §ll9(e)之規定主張以下各案之優 先權: 2009年3月20日申請之題為「WIRELESS POWER impedance CONTROL」之美國臨時專利申請案 61/162,157,及
2009年5月7日申凊之題為「DCBASED TUNING」之美國臨時專利申請案6i/i7m68。 【先前技術】 通常,每一電池供電裝置(諸如,無線電子裝置)需要自 有充電益及電源(其通常為交流(AC)電源插座)。在許多裝 置需要充電時,此種有線組態變得難以使用。 正開發在傳輸益與麵接至待充電之電子裝置的接收器之 間使用空t或無線電力傳輸的方法。此等方法通常落入兩 個類別巾。-種類縣基於介於傳輸天線與待充電之裝置 上之接收天線之間的早而 的十面波輪射(亦稱作遠場輻射)的杀 合。該接收天線收隼所鲈& β , 〃 曰射之電力且對其進行整流以用友 對電池進行充電。天後诵 '、裏通吊具有諧振長度以便改良耦合努 率。此方法遭受以下童杳.- 霄·電力耦合隨著天線之間的距潑 4加而快速衰退,因此路 跨越&理距離(例如,小於1公尺至 147215.doc 201106572 2公尺)來充電變得困難。另外,由於傳輸系統輻射平面 波,故若未經由濾波來進行適當控制,則無意之輻射可干 擾其他系統。 無線能量傳輸技術之其他方法係基於在嵌入於(例如) 「充電」墊或表面中之傳輸天線與嵌入於待充電之電子裝 置中之接收天線(加上整流電路)之間的電感耦合。此方法 具有以下缺點:傳輸天線與接收天線之間的間隔必須非常 接近(例如,幾毫米内)。儘管此方法確實具有對同一區域 中之多個裝置同時進行充電的能力,但此區域通常極小且 要求使用者將該等裝置準確地定位至一特定區域。 在無線電力轉移系統中,歸因於無線電力傳輸過程中發 生之損耗,效率為重要的。由於無線電力傳輸通常比有線 轉移效率⑯’因此在無線電力轉移環境中效率受到更多關 注。 結果,當試圖將電力提供至一或多個無線充電裝置時, 需要適應傳輸天線與接收天線之間的耗合之改變以最佳化 或以其他方式調整向耦接至接收天線之接收器裝置遞送之 電力的方法及設備。 【實施方式】 、詞語「例示性」在本文中用以意謂「充當—實例、個例 或說明」。不必將本文中摇述為「例示性」之任何實施例 解釋為較其他實施例較佳或有利。 下文中結合隨附圖式所闡述之詳細描述意欲作為對本發 明之例不性實施例的描述且不意欲表示可實踐本發明的僅 147215.doc 201106572 有實施例。貫穿此描述所使用之術語「例示性」意謂「充 當實例、個例或說明」’且未必應被解釋為較其他例示性 實施例較佳或有利。該詳細描述包括特定細節以便達成提 供對本發明之例示性實施例之激底理解的目的。熟習此項 技術者將顯而易見,可在無此等特定細節之情況下實踐本 發明之例示性實施例。在一些情況下,以方塊圖形式來展 示熟知結構及裝置以便避免混清本文所呈現之例示性實施 例的新穎性。 詞語「無線電力」在本文中用以意謂在不使用實體電磁 導體之情況下自傳輸器傳輸至接收器的與電場、磁場、電 磁場或其他者相關聯的任何形式之能量。 圖1說明根據本發明之各種例示性實施例的無線傳輸或 充電系…統⑽。將輸入電力102提供至傳輸器1〇4以供產生 用於提供能量轉移之輻射場106。接收器職合至輕射場 106 ’且產生-輸出電力11〇以供耗合至輸出電力⑽之裝 置(圖中未緣示)儲存或消耗。傳輸器104與接收器職者 相隔距離112。在一例示性實施例中,根據相互譜振關係 來組態傳輸urn及接收器⑽,且當接收器⑽之譜振頻 〜、傳輸a 1G4之遥振頻率極為接近時,當接收^⑽位於 輕射場106之「近場」中時,傳輸器104與接收器⑽之間 的傳輸損耗為最小的。 —傳輸器104進-步包括用於提供用於能量傳輸之構件的 旦 妾收盗ι〇8進一步包括用於提供用於能 $接收之構件的—技 接收天線118。根據應用及待與之相關 147215.doc 201106572 聯之裝置來設定傳輸天線及接收天線之大小。如所陳述, 藉由將傳輸天線之近場中之大部分能量搞合至接收天線而 非以電磁波形式將大部分能量傳播至遠場來進行有效能量 轉移。當處於此近場巾日夺,可在傳輸天線i M與接收天線 118之間形成一耦合模式。天線114及118周圍的可發生此 近場耦合之區域在本文中稱為耦合模式區。 圖2展示無線電力轉移系統之簡化示意圖。傳輸器刚包 括-振盛器122、-功率放大器124及—遽波器及匹配電路 126 ^該振盪器經組態以產生一所要頻率,該所要頻率可 回應於調整信號123來加以調整。振盪器信號可由功率放 大器124回應於控制信號125以一放大量來放大。可包括濾 波盗及匹配電路126以濾除諧波或其他非所要之頻率且使 傳輸器1〇4之阻抗與傳輸天線114匹配。 接收器108可包括一匹配電路132及一整流器及切換電路 134以產生一 DC電力輸出以對電池136(如圖2中所展示)充 電或對耦接至接收器之裝置(圖中未繪示)供電。可包括匹 配電路132以使接收器108之阻抗與接收天線118匹配。接 收器108及傳輸器1〇4可在一單獨通信頻道119(例如,藍 芽、紫蜂(ZigBee)、蜂巢式等)上通信。 如圖3中所說明,例示性實施例中所使用之天線可組態 為「環形」天線150,其在本文中亦可稱為「磁性」天 線。環开> 天線可經組態以包括一空心或一實體磁心(諸 如,鐵氧體磁心)。空心環形天線可能更可容許外來實體 裒置置放於該磁心附近。此外,一空心環形天線允許其他 147215.doc 201106572 組件置放於磁心區域内。另外’一空心環可更易於使得能 夠將接收天線Π 8(圖2)置放於傳輸天線丨丨4(圖2)之平面 内,在該平面中,傳輸天線114(圖2)之耦合模式區之電力 可更大。 如所陳述,傳輸器104與接收器108之間的有效能量轉移 在傳輸器104與接收器108之間的諧振匹配或近似匹配期間 發生。然而,即使傳輸器104與接收器1〇8之間的諧振不匹 配,仍可以較低效率轉移能量。藉由將來自傳輸天線之近 場的能量耦合至駐留於建立了此近場之鄰域中之接收天線 而非將能量自傳輸天線傳播至自由空間中來進行能量轉 移。 環形天線或磁性天線之諧振頻率係基於電感及電容。環 形天線中之電感通常僅為由該環形天線產生之電感,而通 常將電容添加至環形天線之電感以在所要諧振頻率下產生 一谐振結構。作為非限制性實例,可將電容器i 52及電容 器154添加至天線以產生一產生諧振信號156之諧振電路。 因此,對於較大直徑之環形天線而言,誘發職所需之電 容的大小隨著環形天線之直徑或電感增加而減小。此外, 隨著環形天線或磁性天線之直徑增加,近場之有效能量轉 移區域增加° #然,其他諧振電路係可能的。作為另一非 限制性實例,一電容器可並聯地置放於環形天線之兩個端 子之間。另外’-般熟習此項技術者將認識到,對於傳輸 天線,諧振信號156可為至環形天線15〇之輸入。 本發明之例示性實施例包括在處於彼此之近場中的兩個 147215.doc 201106572 天線之間耦合電力。如所陳述,近場為在天線周圍的存在 電磁場但電磁場可能並不自該天線傳播或輻射走的區域。 其通常限定於接近該天線之實體體積的體積。在本發明之 例示性實施例中’磁型天線(諸如,㈣環形天線及多匝 %形天線)用於傳輸(Tx)天線系統及接收(Rx)天線系統兩 者此係因為與電型天線(諸如,小型偶極天線)之電近場 相比,磁型天線之磁近場振幅傾向於較高。此允許該對天 線之間的潛在較高耦合。此外,亦預期「電」天線(例 如’偶極及單極)或磁性天線與電天線之組合。 Τχ天線可在足夠低之頻率下且在天線大小足夠大之情況 下%作,以在顯著大於早先所提及之遠場及電感方法所允 許之距離的距離下達成至小型接收天線的良好耦合(例 如> 4 dB)。右對傳輸天線正確地設定大小,則當主機掌 置上之接收天線置放於受驅動傳輸環形天線之耦合模式區 内(亦即,在近場中)時,可達成高耦合程度(例如,-丨dB 至-4 dB)。 圖4為根據本發明之例示性實施例之傳輸器2〇〇的簡化方 塊圖。傳輸器2〇〇包括傳輸電路202及一傳輸天線2〇4。大 體上,傳輸電路202藉由提供一振盪信號來將尺卩電力提供 至傳輸天線204,該振盪信號導致在傳輪天線2〇4四周產生 近場能量。以實例說明之,傳輸器200可在13 56 MHz ISM 頻帶下操作。 例示性傳輸電路202包括:一固定阻抗匹配電路2〇6,其 用於將傳輸電路202之阻抗(例如,50歐姆)與傳輸天線2〇4 147215.doc 201106572 匹配;及-低通遽波器(LPF)208,其經組態以將諸波發射 減少至防止耗接至接收器⑽(圖υ之裳置之自干擾的位 準。匹配電路之其他例示性實施例可包括電感器及變壓 器。低通濾波器之其他例示性實施例可包括不同濾波器拓 撲’包括(但不限於)使特定頻率衰減而使其他頻㈣過的 陷波濾波器,且可包括一調適性阻抗匹配,其可美於可旦 測之傳輸量度(諸如,至天線之輸出電力或由功率放大器 汲取之DC電流)而變化。傳輸電路2〇2進一步包括一功率放 大益2丨0,其經組態以驅動如由振盪器212(在本文中亦稱 為信號產生器)判定之RF.信號。該傳輸電路可由離散裝置 或電路組成,或者可由一整合式總成組成。—來自傳輸天 線204之例示性RF電力輸出可為約25瓦特至8 〇瓦特。則 傳輸電路202進-步包括一控制器214 ’控制器214用於 在針對特定接收器之傳輸階段(或作用時間循環)期間啟用 振盪器212、用於調整該振盪器之頻率、用於調整輸出電 力位準、用於實施一通信協定(用於經由相鄰裝置所附接 之接收器而與相鄰裝置互動)。控制器214亦用於判定傳輸 天線204處之阻抗改變,該等阻抗改變係歸因於耦合模式 區中由於其中所置放之接收器而產生的改變。 二 傳輸電路202可進-步包括一負載感測電路216,其用於 偵測作用中之接收器是否存在於由傳輸天線產生之近 場附近。以實例說明之’負載感測電路216監視流動至功 率放大态210之電流,該電流受作用中之接收器是否存在 ;傳輸天線204產生之近場附近所影響。藉由控制器214 J472l5.doc 201106572 =對功率放大器210上之負載的改變之债測,用於判定 疋否啟用振盪器212以傳輸能 信。 /、作用中接收器通 傳輪天線204可實施為一天線帶,豆 類剞绍、里裡、,办 z、与度、寬度及金屬 广選擇以使電阻性損耗保持為低。在習知實施中,傳 輸天線2〇4可大體上經組態以與—較大結構(諸如,桌子、
