With the rapid development of mobile terminal technology, wireless charging technology is applied more and more widely. According to the wireless charging technology, electrical energy may be radiated generally through a wireless charging coil. In an application process, as the wireless charging coil itself has resistance, a part of energy dissipated by the wireless charging coil may be converted into heat energy, thus, a temperature of the wireless charging coil is relatively high during a charging process.

It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are illustrative and explanatory only and are not restrictive of the present disclosure.
The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification, illustrate aspects consistent with the present disclosure and, together with the description, serve to explain the principles of the present disclosure.
The specific aspects of the present disclosure, which have been illustrated by the accompanying drawings described above, will be described in detail below. These accompanying drawings and description are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure in any manner, but to explain the concept of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art via referencing specific aspects.
Reference will now be made in detail to exemplary aspects, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The following description refers to the accompanying drawings in which the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise represented. The implementations set forth in the following description of exemplary aspects do not represent all implementations consistent with the present disclosure. Instead, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with aspects related to the present disclosure as recited in the appended claims.
Firstly, scenarios involved in the present disclosure are briefly introduced.
In the process of charging with the wireless charging coil, the temperature of the wireless charging coil will increase as the charging duration increases, because the wireless charging coil itself has resistance. In addition, due to the low efficiency of the actual application of the wireless charging coil, most of energy dissipated is converted into heat energy in the wireless charging coil. To sum up, in order to ensure the safety of wireless charging, it is necessary to test the temperature of the wireless charging coil.
At present, in order to detect the temperature of the wireless charging coil, a thermistor is usually added near the wireless charging coil to detect the temperature of the wireless charging coil by detecting a voltage across two ends of the thermistor. However, as the wireless charging coil has a certain area, and the thermistor may only be arranged near a local point of the wireless charging coil, there is a difference between the temperature measured by the thermistor and the actual temperature of the wireless charging coil. That is, the temperature detection is not accurate.
For this purpose, aspects of the present disclosure provide a circuitry and a method for detecting the temperature of the wireless charging coil, which may accurately measure the real-time temperature of the wireless charging coil. The specific implementation process is shown in the following aspects.
In order to realize a temperature detection of the wireless charging coil, aspects of the present disclosure provide a circuitry for detecting the temperature. Referring to
The target resistor 1 and the wireless charging coil 5 are coupled in series to form a series circuit. The voltage supply circuit 2 is coupled to the series circuit and configured to apply a target voltage to the series circuit during a charging process of the wireless charging coil 5. The voltage detection circuit 3 is coupled to the series circuit and configured to obtain a first measured voltage across two ends of the wireless charging coil 5 and a second measured voltage across two ends of the target resistor 1 when the target voltage is applied. The first measured voltage is a voltage generated by the target voltage across the two ends of the wireless charging coil 5. The second measured voltage is a voltage generated by the target voltage across the two ends of the target resistor 1. The processing component 4 is coupled to the voltage detection circuit 3 and configured to: determine a working current of the series circuit according to the second measured voltage and a resistance of the target resistor 1; determine a real-time resistance of the wireless charging coil 5 according to the first measured voltage and the working current; determine a real-time temperature of the wireless charging coil 5 according to the real-time resistance of the wireless charging coil 5.
For the wireless charging coil 5, it is difficult to determine its direct current (DC) resistance, i.e., the real-time resistance directly during the charging process due to the constant change of its resistance. In aspects of the present disclosure, the DC resistance of the wireless charging coil may be simulated by an extremely-low-frequency impedance, that is, the target voltage is applied here by the voltage supply circuit 2 to the circuit where the wireless charging coil 5 is located. The target voltage is an alternating-current (AC) voltage with a frequency less than a preset frequency threshold. That is, the frequency of the target voltage may be considered to be close to the voltage frequency corresponding to the DC resistance of the wireless charging coil 5. Therefore, the real-time resistance of the wireless charging coil 5 may be determined based on the target voltage.
Further, the voltage supply circuit 2 may include a low-frequency signal generator. The low-frequency signal generator is configured to apply the target voltage to the series circuit during the charging process of the wireless charging coil 5.
In one possible implementation, the target voltage may be set to 40 Hz. At this point, it may be considered that 40 Hz is close to the voltage frequency corresponding to the DC resistance of the wireless charging coil 5. Therefore, the real-time resistance of the wireless charging coil 5 may be determined based on the target voltage of 40 Hz subsequently.
The above preset frequency threshold may be customized by a user according to the actual needs, and may also be set by default by the above circuitry for detecting the temperature, which is not limited in aspects of the present disclosure.
In the implementation process, after the voltage supply circuit 2 applies the target voltage to the circuit, the measured voltage generated by the target voltage across the two ends of the wireless charging coil 5 may be different from the target voltage due to some characteristics of the wireless charging coil 5 or the circuit itself. Thus, in order to accurately determine the real-time resistance based on the applied target voltage, the first measured voltage generated by the target voltage across the two ends of the wireless charging coil 5 should be obtained by the voltage detection circuit 3.
In addition, the processing component 4 obtains the working current of the circuit where the wireless charging coil 5 is located, thus, according to the first measured voltage and the working current, the real-time resistance of the wireless charging coil 5 may be determined by ohm's law.
The realization process of obtaining the working current of the circuit includes the following. The second measured voltage across the two ends of the target resistor 1 in series with the wireless charging coil 5 is obtained by the voltage detection circuit 3. The second measured voltage is the voltage generated by the target voltage across the two ends of the target resistor 1. The working current of the circuit is determined by the processing component 4 according to the second measured voltage and the resistance of the target resistor 1.
In other words, the working current in the circuit may be determined by obtaining the second measured voltage across the two ends of the target resistor 1 in series with the wireless charging coil 5. Similar to the first measured voltage mentioned above, the second measured voltage is generated by the target voltage across the two ends of the target resistor 1.
A precision resistor with a known resistance is selected as the target resistor. In some aspects, of course, the target resistor may also be an ordinary resistor, which is not limited in aspects of the present disclosure.
Further, referring to
In some aspects, the first filter 31 and the second filter 32 are low-pass filters. Alternatively, the first filter 31 and the second filter 32 may both be other filters capable of filtering out the charging voltage and outputting the target voltage, which is not limited in aspects of the present disclosure.
After determining the real-time resistance of the wireless charging coil 5, the processing component 4 is configured to: determine the real-time temperature of the wireless charging coil 5 according to the real-time resistance of the wireless charging coil 5, a standard resistance of the wireless charging coil 5 detected when a temperature of the wireless charging coil 5 is a standard temperature, and a temperature rise coefficient of the wireless charging coil 5.
The temperature rise coefficient is configured to indicate a correlation between a temperature change of the wireless charging coil 5 and a resistance change of the wireless charging coil 5.
In one possible implementation, the standard temperature could be 20 degrees. That is, the standard resistance corresponding to the temperature of the wireless charging coil 5 at 20 degrees may be measured before the method for detecting the temperature of the wireless charging coil 5 is implemented.
Further, the processing component 4, according to the real-time resistance of the wireless charging coil 5, the standard resistance of the wireless charging coil 5 detected when the temperature of the wireless charging coil 5 is the standard temperature, and the temperature rise coefficient of the wireless charging coil 5, is configured to calculate the temperature T of the wireless charging coil 5 by a formula of:
in which, R represents the real-time resistance, R0 represents the standard resistance, T0 represents the standard temperature, and k represents the temperature rise coefficient.
Further, referring to
In aspects of the present disclosure, the voltage supply circuit applies the target voltage to the circuit where the wireless charging coil is located during the charging process. The voltage detection circuit obtains the first measured voltage generated across the two ends of the wireless charging coil by the target voltage and the second measured voltage generated across the two ends of the target resistor in series with the wireless charging coil by the target voltage. The processing component determines the working current of the circuit where the wireless charging coil is located according to the second measured voltage and the resistance of the target resistor, then determines the real-time resistance of the wireless charging coil according to the first measured voltage and the working current. In this way, the processing component may determine the real-time temperature of the wireless charging coil according to the determined real-time resistance. Since the aspects of the present disclosure may determine an actual temperature of the wireless charging coil, rather than a nearby temperature, thus, the accuracy of temperature detection is improved.
At block 301, it is charged through the wireless charging coil.
In some aspects, the wireless charging coil may be configured in a terminal or an intelligent charging device. That is, this method may be used to detect the temperature of the wireless charging coil in the terminal, and also to detect the temperature of the wireless charging coil in the intelligent charging device, which is not limited in aspects of the present disclosure.
At block 302, a real-time resistance of the wireless charging coil is obtained during a charging process.
In one possible implementation, the realization of obtaining the real-time resistance of the wireless charging coil during the charging process may include the following. A target voltage is applied to the circuit where the wireless charging coil is located during the charging process. When the target voltage is applied, a first measured voltage across two ends of the wireless charging coil and a working current of the circuit are obtained. The first measured voltage is a voltage generated by the target voltage across the two ends of the wireless charging coil. According to the first measured voltage and the working current, the real-time resistance of the wireless charging coil is determined.
For the wireless charging coil, it is difficult to determine its real-time resistance directly during the charging process due to the constant change of the resistance. In aspects of the present disclosure, the DC resistance of the wireless charging coil may be simulated by an extremely-low-frequency impedance, that is, the target voltage is applied here to the circuit where the wireless charging coil is located. The target voltage is an AC voltage with a frequency less than a preset frequency threshold. That is, the frequency of the target voltage may be considered to be close to the voltage frequency corresponding to the DC resistance of the wireless charging coil. Therefore, the real-time resistance of the wireless charging coil may be determined based on the target voltage.
The above preset frequency threshold may be customized by the user according to the actual needs, and may also be set by default by the above the circuity for detecting the temperature, which is not limited in aspects of the present disclosure.
In one possible implementation, the target voltage may be set to 40 Hz. At this point, it may be considered that 40 Hz is close to the voltage frequency corresponding to the DC resistance of the wireless charging coil. Therefore, the real-time resistance of the wireless charging coil may be determined based on the target voltage of 40 Hz subsequently.
In the implementation process, after the target voltage is applied to the circuit, the measured voltage generated by the target voltage across the two ends of the wireless charging coil may be different from the target voltage due to some characteristics of the wireless charging coil or the circuit itself. Thus, in order to accurately determine the real-time resistance based on the applied target voltage, the first measured voltage generated by the target voltage across the two ends of the wireless charging coil should be obtained.
For example, referring to
In addition, the working current of the circuit where the wireless charging coil is located is obtained, thus, according to the first measured voltage and the working current, the real-time resistance of the wireless charging coil may be determined by ohm's law.
In addition, in a possible implementation, acquiring the working current of the circuit includes the following. A second measured voltage across two ends of a target resistor in series with the wireless charging coil in the circuit is obtained. The second measured voltage is a voltage generated by the target voltage across the two ends of the target resistor. The working current of the circuit is determined according to the second measured voltage and the resistance of the target resistor.
In aspects of the present disclosure, the working current in the circuit may be obtained according to the target resistor. In some aspects, a precision resistor with a known resistance may be selected as the target resistor.
Referring to
Of course, it should be noted that, the above-mentioned target resistor as a precision resistor is only to illustrate. In another aspect, the target resistor may also be an ordinary resistor, which is not limited in aspects of the present disclosure.
At block 303, the real-time temperature of the wireless charging coil is determined according to the real-time resistance of the wireless charging coil.
In one possible implementation, the specific implementation of block 303 may include the following. The real-time temperature of the wireless charging coil is determined according to the real-time resistance of the wireless charging coil, a standard resistance of the wireless charging coil detected when a temperature of the wireless charging coil is a standard temperature, and a temperature rise coefficient of the wireless charging coil.
The temperature rise coefficient is configured to indicate a correlation between a temperature change of the wireless charging coil and a resistance change of the wireless charging coil.
In one possible implementation, the standard temperature could be 20 degrees. That is, the standard resistance corresponding to the temperature of the wireless charging coil at 20 degrees may be measured before the method for detecting the temperature of the wireless charging coil is implemented.
Further, according to the real-time resistance of the wireless charging coil, the standard resistance of the wireless charging coil detected when the temperature of the wireless charging coil is the standard temperature, and the temperature rise coefficient of the wireless charging coil, the temperature T of the wireless charging coil is calculated by a formula of:
in which, R represents the real-time resistance, R0 represents the standard resistance, T0 represents the standard temperature, and k represents the temperature rise coefficient.
In aspects of the present disclosure, the voltage supply circuit applies the target voltage to the circuit where the wireless charging coil is located during the charging process. The voltage detection circuit obtains the first measured voltage generated across the two ends of the wireless charging coil by the target voltage and the second measured voltage generated across the two ends of the target resistor in series with the wireless charging coil by the target voltage. The processing component determines the working current of the circuit where the wireless charging coil is located according to the second measured voltage and the resistance of the target resistor, then determines the real-time resistance of the wireless charging coil according to the first measured voltage and the working current. In this way, the processing component may determine the real-time temperature of the wireless charging coil according to the determined real-time resistance.
