In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in
When the second digital controller 84 receives the auxiliary electric energy, the second digital controller 84 outputs a first control signal and a second control signal, respectively, the first control signal controls the normally-off switch 932 to be turned on, and the second control signal controls the normally-on switch 931 to be turned off, so that the second matching network 82 is connected to the second NFC chip 83, and the second matching network 82 is disconnected from the NFC tag chip 85.
When the second digital controller 84 does not receive the auxiliary electric energy, the second digital controller 84 stops outputting the first control signal and the second control signal, so that the second matching network 82 is disconnected from the second NFC chip 83, and the second matching network 82 is connected to the NFC tag chip 85.
For example, the normally-on switch and the normally-off switch together constitute the switch 93. The normally-on switch is in a turned-on state without any controlling signal, and is turned off when a controlling signal is applied. A switching logic of the normally-off switch is opposite to that of the normally-on switch.
When the power supply of the second digital controller 84 is not established, neither the normally-on switch nor the normally-off switch in the switch 93 is applied with the controlling signal, so that the normally-on switch is turned on, and the normally-off switch is turned off to make the second matching network 82 connected with the NFC tag chip 85.
When the power supply of the second digital controller 84 is established, the second digital controller 84 respectively applies controlling signals to the normally-on switch and the normally-off switch to make their switching states reversed, that is, the normally-on switch is turned off, while the normally-off switch is turned on, so that the second matching network 82 is connected to the second NFC chip 83.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in
When the second digital controller 84 receives the auxiliary electric energy, the second digital controller 84 outputs a third control signal and a fourth control signal, respectively, the third control signal controls the enhancement MOSFET 933 to be turned on, and the fourth control signal control the depletion MOSFET 934 to be turned off, so that the second matching network 82 is connected to the second NFC chip 83, and the second matching network 82 is disconnected from the NFC tag chip 85.
When the second digital controller 84 does not receive the auxiliary electric energy, the second digital controller 84 stops outputting the third control signal and the fourth control signal, so that the second matching network 82 is disconnected from the second NFC chip 83, and the second matching network 82 is connected to the NFC tag chip 85.
For example, the depletion MOSFETs 934 connected back-to-back and the enhancement MOSFETs 933 connected back-to-back together constitute the switch 93. A path between a drain and a source of the depletion MOSFET 934 is turned on when no voltage is applied between a gate and the source of the depletion MOSFET 934, and the path between the drain and the source of the depletion MOSFET 934 is turned off when a negative voltage is applied between the gate and the source of the depletion MOSFET 934. A path between a drain and a source of the enhancement MOSFET 933 is turned off when no voltage is applied between a gate and the source of the enhancement MOSFET 933, and the path between the drain and the source of the enhancement MOSFET 933 is turned on when a positive voltage is applied between the gate and the source of the enhancement MOSFET 933.
When the power supply of the second digital controller 84 is not established, the depletion MOSFET 934 and the enhancement MOSFET 933 in the switch 93 are both in a state where no voltage is applied between the gate and the source, so that the patch between the drain and the source of the depletion MOSFET 934 is turned on and the patch between the drain and source of the enhancement MOSFET 933 is turned off, to make the second matching network 82 connected with the NFC tag chip 85.
In embodiments of the present discourse, the second communication control module 64 further includes a first drive circuit 935 and a second drive circuit 936. The first drive circuit 935 is connected with the depletion MOSFET 934 and the second digital controller 84, respectively, and the second drive circuit 936 is connected with the enhancement MOSFET 933 and the second digital controller 84, respectively.
When the power supply of the second digital controller 84 is established, the second digital controller 84 applies the negative voltage between the gate and the source of the depletion MOSFET 934 through the first drive circuit 935, so that the patch between the drain and the source of the depletion MOSFET 934 is turned off, and applies the positive voltage between the gate and the source of the enhancement MOSFET 933 through the second drive circuit 936, so that the patch between the drain and the source of the enhancement MOSFET 933 is turned on, so as to make the second matching network 82 connected with the second NFC chip 83.
Embodiments of the present disclosure further disclose a wireless communication device for a wireless power transmission device. As shown in
A wireless power flow is formed between the transmitting coil 56 and the receiving coil 57 through electromagnetic coupling, realizing wireless power transmission from a primary side to a secondary side. A fundamental frequency of the electromagnetic field is generally from 10 kHz to 1000 kHz. A wireless information flow is formed between the first antenna coil 61 and the second antenna coil 62 through an electromagnetic field to perform near field wireless communication, and information transfer in the communication can usually be carried out bidirectionally.
The second communication control module 64 starts to work in a second mode and is configured to output identification information, and first communication control module 63 starts to work in a first mode and is configured to read the identification information and determine whether the identification information is the same as first preset information. When the identification information is the same as the first preset information, working modes of the first communication control module 63 and the second communication control module 64 are both switched to a third mode, and the first communication control module 63 and the second communication control module 64 perform wireless communication to transmit data. After the first communication control module 63 and the second communication control module 64 perform the wireless communication, the power transmission control and drive module 53 and the rectification and control module 54 perform wireless power transmission with a first preset power based on the transmitting coil 56 and the receiving coil 57, that is, the transmitting coil 56 performs the wireless power transmission to the receiving coil 57.
In embodiments of the present disclosure, the identification information output by the second communication control module 64 is associated with itself. When the identification information is the same as the first preset information, the working mode of the first communication control module 63 is adjusted from the first mode to the third mode, and the working mode of the second communication control module 64 is adjusted from the second mode to the third mode. After the first communication control module 63 and the second communication control module 64 perform the wireless communication, the wireless power transmission is performed from a side where the first communication control module 63 is located to a side where the second communication control module 64 is located. In a specific implementation, the second communication control module 64 may automatically start to work in the second mode in response to an electric quantity of a battery pack 55 at the side where the second communication control module 64 is located is lower than a first preset threshold.

The preset condition may be that the wireless power transmission device does not perform normal wireless power transmission, that is, the wireless power transmission device cannot start the wireless power transmission, or can start the wireless power transmission, but a power of the wireless power transmission is less than the first preset power. The failure of the wireless power transmission device to start the wireless power transmission may be that the side where the first communication control module is located cannot start the wireless power transmission. Alternatively, the preset condition may be that the first communication control module does not receive a communication response signal from the second communication control module 64.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the wireless power transmission device is configured to power the battery pack. When a voltage of the battery pack is higher than or equal to a first preset voltage, the auxiliary electric energy is provided to the second communication control module through the battery pack. When the voltage of the battery pack is lower than the first preset voltage, the power transmission control and drive module and the rectification and control module perform wireless power transmission with a second preset power through the transmitting coil and the receiving coil, and the auxiliary electric energy is provided to the second communication control module through the rectification and control module, where the second preset power is lower than the first preset power.
When the identification information is the same as the first preset information and the second communication control module 64 receives the auxiliary electric energy, the second communication control module 64 switches the working mode from the second mode to the third mode. The first communication control module switches the working mode from the first mode to the third mode after a first preset duration delayed relative to the second communication control module 64, that is, the first communication control module starts to work in the third mode after the first preset duration delayed from the second communication control module 64 starting to work in the third mode. The auxiliary electric energy may be electric energy transmitted with the second preset power, and the second preset power is lower than the first preset power.

When the second digital controller 84 does not receive the auxiliary electric energy, the second digital controller 84 stops outputting the first control signal and the second control signal, so that the second matching network 82 is disconnected from the second NFC chip 83, and the second matching network 82 is connected to the NFC tag chip 85.
For example, the normally-on switch and the normally-off switch together constitute the switch 93. The normally-on switch is in a turned-on state without any controlling signal, and is turned off when a controlling signal is applied. A switching logic of the normally-off switch is opposite to that of the normally-on switch.
When the power supply of the second digital controller 84 is not established, neither the normally-on switch nor the normally-off switch in the switch 93 is applied with the controlling signal, so that the normally-on switch is turned on, and the normally-off switch is turned off to make the second matching network 82 connected with the NFC tag chip 85.
When the power supply of the second digital controller 84 is established, the second digital controller 84 respectively applies controlling signals to the normally-on switch and the normally-off switch to make their switching states reversed, that is, the normally-on switch is turned off, while the normally-off switch is turned on, so that the second matching network 82 is connected to the second NFC chip 83.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, referring to the above
When the second digital controller 84 receives the auxiliary electric energy, the second digital controller 84 outputs a third control signal and a fourth control signal, respectively, the third control signal controls the enhancement MOSFET 933 to be turned on, and the fourth control signal control the depletion MOSFET 934 to be turned off, so that the second matching network 82 is connected to the second NFC chip 83, and the second matching network 82 is disconnected from the NFC tag chip 85.
When the second digital controller 84 does not receive the auxiliary electric energy, the second digital controller 84 stops outputting the third control signal and the fourth control signal, so that the second matching network 82 is disconnected from the second NFC chip 83, and the second matching network 82 is connected to the NFC tag chip 85.
For example, the depletion MOSFETs 934 connected back-to-back and the enhancement MOSFETs 933 connected back-to-back together constitute the switch 93. A path between a drain and a source of the depletion MOSFET 934 is turned on when no voltage is applied between a gate and the source of the depletion MOSFET 934, and the path between the drain and the source of the depletion MOSFET 934 is turned off when a negative voltage is applied between the gate and the source of the depletion MOSFET 934. A path between a drain and a source of the enhancement MOSFET 933 is turned off when no voltage is applied between a gate and the source of the enhancement MOSFET 933, and the path between the drain and the source of the enhancement MOSFET 933 is turned on when a positive voltage is applied between the gate and the source of the enhancement MOSFET 933.
When the power supply of the second digital controller 84 is not established, the depletion MOSFET 934 and the enhancement MOSFET 933 in the switch 93 are both in a state where no voltage is applied between the gate and the source, so that the patch between the drain and the source of the depletion MOSFET 934 is turned on and the patch between the drain and source of the enhancement MOSFET 933 is turned off, to make the second matching network 82 connected with the NFC tag chip 85.
In embodiments of the present discourse, the second communication control module 64 includes a first drive circuit 935 and a second drive circuit 936. The first drive circuit 935 is connected with the depletion MOSFET 934 and the second digital controller 84, respectively, and the second drive circuit 936 is connected with the enhancement MOSFET 933 and the second digital controller 84, respectively.
When the power supply of the second digital controller 84 is established, the second digital controller 84 applies the negative voltage between the gate and the source of the depletion MOSFET 934 through the first drive circuit 935, so that the patch between the drain and the source of the depletion MOSFET 934 is turned off, and applies the positive voltage between the gate and the source of the enhancement MOSFET 933 through the second drive circuit 936, so that the patch between the drain and the source of the enhancement MOSFET 933 is turned on, so as to make the second matching network 82 connected with the second NFC chip 83.
