WIRELESS POWER TRANSMITTER AND RECEIVER

TECHNICAL FIELD

The invention relates to a wireless power transmitter and a wireless power receiver.

BACKGROUND ART

Generally, various electronic apparatuses are equipped with a battery and are driven by using electric power charged in the battery. At this time, in the electronic device, the battery can be replaced and charged again. To this end, the electronic device has a contact terminal for contacting an external charging device. That is, the electronic device is electrically connected to the charging device through the contact terminal. However, as the contact terminal is exposed to the outside in the electronic device, it may be contaminated by foreign matter or short-circuited by moisture. In this case, there is a problem that a contact failure occurs between the contact terminal and the charging device, and the battery is not charged in the electronic device.

In order to solve the above problem, a wireless power transfer (WPT) for wirelessly charging an electronic device has been proposed. The wireless power transmission system is a technology that delivers power without wires through space, maximizing the convenience of power supply to mobile devices and digital home appliances. The wireless power transmission system has advantages such as saving energy through real-time power usage control, overcoming space limitation of power supply, and reducing waste battery discharge using battery recharging.

As a method of implementing a wireless power transmission system, there are typically a magnetic induction type and a self-resonance type. The magnetic induction method is a noncontact energy transmission technique in which two coils are brought close to each other, a current is supplied to one coil, and an electromotive force is generated in the other coil via the magnetic flux generated thereby. The self-resonance method is a magnetic resonance technique that uses only electric fields or magnetic fields without using electromagnetic waves or currents. The distance over which power can be transmitted is several meters or more, and a band of several MHz can be used.

The wireless power transmission system includes a transmitting device for transmitting power wirelessly and a receiving device for receiving power to charge a load such as a battery. At this time, there has been developed a transmitting apparatus capable of selecting a charging system of a receiving apparatus, that is, a charging system of either a magnetic induction system or a self-resonance system, and capable of wirelessly transmitting power corresponding to a charging system of a receiving apparatus.

MODE FOR INVENTION

Hereinafter, a wireless power transmission system including a transmitter having a function of transmitting power wirelessly and a receiver receiving power wirelessly according to an embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The following embodiments are provided by way of example so that those skilled in the art can fully understand the spirit of the invention. Therefore, the invention is not limited to the embodiments described below, but may be embodied in other forms. In the drawings, the size and thickness of the device may be exaggerated for convenience. Like reference numerals designate like elements throughout the specification.

Embodiments may include a communication system that selectively uses various kinds of frequency bands from low frequency (50 kHz) to high frequency (15 MHz) for wireless power transmission and can exchange data and control signals for system control.

The embodiments can be applied to various industrial fields such as a mobile terminal industry using a battery or an electronic device required, a smart clock industry, a computer and notebook industry, a household appliance industry, an electric car industry, a medical device industry, and a robot industry.

Embodiments may consider a system capable of power transmission to one or more multiple devices using one or more transmission coils.

According to the embodiment, it is possible to solve the battery shortage problem in a mobile device such as a smart phone and a notebook. For example, when a wireless charging pad is placed on a table and a smart phone or a notebook is used on the table, the battery is automatically charged and can be used for a long time. In addition, by installing wireless charging pads in public places such as cafes, airports, taxis, offices, restaurants, etc., mobile devices manufacturers can charge various mobile devices regardless of charging terminals. When wireless power transmission technology is applied to household electrical appliances such as cleaners, electric fans, etc., there is no need to look for power cables, and complex wires can be eliminated in the home, which can reduce wiring in buildings and increase the space utilization. In addition, it takes a lot of time to charge the electric car with the current household power, but if the high power is transmitted through the wireless power transmission technology, the charging time can be reduced. If the wireless charging facility is installed at the bottom of the parking lot, it is possible to solve the inconvenience of having to prepare.

The terms and abbreviations used in the examples are as follows.

Wireless Power Transfer System: A system that provides wireless power transmission within a magnetic field region

Wireless Power Transfer System-Charger: A device that provides wireless power transmission to a power receiver within a magnetic field area and manages the entire system.

Wireless Power Transfer System-Device: A device that is provided with a wireless power transmission from a power transmitter within a magnetic field area.

Charging Area: An area where actual wireless power transmission occurs within the magnetic field area, and may vary depending on the size, required power, and operating frequency of the application product.

Scattering parameter: The Scattering parameter (S parameter) is the ratio of the input port to the output port in ratio of the input voltage to the output voltage on the frequency distribution (Transmission; S21) or the self reflection value of each input/output port, that is, output value that is reflected by self-input (Reflection; S11, S22).

Quality factor Q: The value of Q in resonance means the quality of frequency selection. The higher the Q value, the better the resonance characteristics. The Q value is expressed as the ratio of the energy stored in the resonator to the energy lost.

The principles of wireless power transmission include magnetic induction system and self-resonance system.

The magnetic induction method is a noncontact energy transfer technique in which an electromotive force is generated in the load inductor LI via a magnetic flux generated when the source inductor Ls and the load inductor LI are brought close to each other and a current is supplied to one of the source inductors Ls. The self-resonance method combines two resonators to generate self-resonance due to the natural frequency between two resonators. In this case, by resonating at the same frequency, resonance techniques are used to form an electric field and a magnetic field in the same wavelength range to wirelessly transmitting energy.

1 is a magnetic induction equivalent circuit.

Referring to FIG. 1, in a magnetic induction equivalent circuit, a transmitter includes a source voltage Vs, a source resistance Rs, a source capacitor Cs for impedance matching, and a magnetic coupling with a receiver And a load coil RI for impedance matching, a load capacitor CI for impedance matching, and a load coil LI for magnetic coupling with a transmitter. And the degree of magnetic coupling between the source coil Ls and the load coil LI can be expressed by mutual inductance MsI.

In FIG. 1, the ratio S21 of the input voltage to the output voltage is obtained from the magnetic induction equivalent circuit consisting only of the coil only without the source capacitor Cs and the load capacitor CI for impedance matching, and the maximum power transmission condition satisfies the following equation 1.

Ls/Rs=LI/RI Equation 1

The maximum power transmission is possible when the ratio of the inductance of the transmission coil Ls to the source resistance Rs and the ratio of the inductance of the load coil LI to the load resistance RI are equal to each other. Since there is no capacitor that can compensate for reactance in a system with only inductance, the value of the self reflection value (S11) of the input/output port cannot be zero at the point where the maximum power transfer is made and the mutual inductance MsI), the power transmission efficiency may vary greatly. Thus, the source capacitor Cs can be added to the transmission unit as the compensation capacitor for impedance matching, and the load capacitor CI can be added to the reception unit. The compensation capacitors Cs and CI may be connected in series or in parallel to the receiving coil Ls and the load coil LI, respectively. Further, for the impedance matching, a passive element such as an additional capacitor and an inductor may be added to each of the transmitter and the receiver as well as the compensation capacitor.

FIG. 2 is a self-resonant-type equivalent circuit.

Referring to FIG. 2, in the self-resonant-type equivalent circuit, a transmitter includes a source coil constituting a closed circuit by a series connection of a source voltage Vs, a source resistor Rs and a source inductor Ls, and a transmitting-side resonant coil constituting a closed circuit by a series connection of the transmission-side resonance inductor L1 and the transmission-side resonance capacitor C1. A receiver include a load coil constituting a closed circuit by a series connection of the load resistance RI and the load inductor LI, and a receiving-side resonance coil constituting a closed circuit by a series connection of a receiving side resonance inductor L2 and a resonance capacitor C2. The source inductor Ls and the transmission-side resonance inductor L1 are magnetically coupled to each other by the coupling coefficient of K01, and the load inductor LI, the receiving side resonance inductor L2 are magnetically coupled to each other by the coupling coefficient of K23, and the transmission-side resonance inductor L1 and the receiving side resonance inductor L2 are magnetically coupled to each other by the coupling coefficient of K12. In the equivalent circuit of another embodiment, the source coil and/or the load coil may be omitted and only the transmission-side resonance coil and the reception-side resonance coil may be disposed.

When the resonance frequencies of the two resonators are the same, most of the energy of the resonator of the transmitting part is transmitted to the resonator of the receiving part to improve the power transmission efficiency, and when the efficiency in the self-resonance method satisfies the following equation 2, it gets better.

k/Γ>>1 (k is the coupling coefficient, Γ attenuation factor) Equation 2

In order to increase the efficiency in the self-resonance method, an element for impedance matching can be added, and the impedance matching element can be a passive element such as an inductor and a capacitor.

Based on the principle of wireless power transmission, a wireless power transmission system for transmitting power by a magnetic induction method or a self-resonance method will be described.

FIGS. 3A and 3B are block diagrams showing a transmitter as one of sub-systems constituting a wireless power transmission system.

Referring to FIG. 3A, the wireless power transmission system according to the embodiment may include a transmitter 1000 and a receiver 2000 that receives power wirelessly from the transmitter 1000. The transmission unit 1000 includes a power conversion unit 101 for converting an input AC signal into an AC signal and outputting the AC signal as an AC signal, a resonance circuit unit 102 for generating a magnetic field based on the AC signal output from the power conversion unit 101 and providing a power to the receiver 2000 in a charging area, and a control unit 103 for controlling a power conversion of the power conversion unit 101, adjusting the amplitude and frequency of the power conversion unit 101, performing an impedance matching of the resonance circuit unit 102, sensing impedance, voltage and current information from the resonance circuit unit 102, and wirelessly communicating with the reception unit 2000. The power conversion unit 101 may include at least one of a power conversion unit that converts an AC signal to DC, a power conversion unit that outputs a DC by varying the level of the DC, and a power conversion unit that converts DC into AC. The resonant circuit unit 102 may include a coil and an impedance matching unit capable of resonating with the coil. The control unit 103 may include a sensing unit and a wireless communication unit for sensing impedance, voltage, and current information.

Referring to FIG. 3b, the transmitting unit 1000 includes a transmitting side AC/DC converting unit 1100, a transmitting side DC/AC converting unit 1200, a transmitting side impedance matching unit 1300, a transmitting coil unit 1400, and a transmission side communication and control unit 1500.

The transmitting side AC/DC converting unit 1100 is a power converting unit that converts an AC signal provided from the outside under the control of the transmitting side communication and control unit 1500 to a DC signal. The transmitting side AC/DC converting unit 1100 includes a rectifier 1110 and a transmission side DC/DC converter 1120 as a subsystem. The rectifier 1110 converts a AC signal into a DC signal. The rectifier 1110 may be a diode rectifier having a relatively high efficiency in high frequency operation, a synchronous rectifier capable of one-chip operation, and a hybrid rectifier capable of saving space and having a high degree of freedom in dead time. However, the invention is not limited to this, and can be applied to a system for converting AC to DC. In addition, the transmission side DC/DC converter 1120 controls the level of the DC signal provided from the rectifier 1110 under the control of the transmission side communication and control unit 1500. As an example of implementing the DC signal, a buck converter, a boost converter that boosts the level of the input signal, a buck-boost converter or a Cuk converter that can raise or lower the level of the input signal can be used. Also, the transmission side DC/DC converter 1120 includes a switching element that performs a power conversion control function, an inductor and a capacitor that perform a power conversion mediation role or an output voltage smoothing function, and a transformer that performs a voltage gain control function or an electrical separation function (insulation function). The transmission side DC/DC converter 1120 performs removing the ripple component or the ripple component (AC component included in the DC signal) included in the input DC signal. The error between the command value of the output signal of the transmission side DC/DC converter 1120 and the actual output value can be adjusted through the feedback method, and this can be performed by the transmission side communication and control unit 1500.

The transmission side DC/AC conversion unit 1200 is a system that converts a DC signal output from the transmission side AC/DC conversion unit 1100 into an AC signal under the control of the transmission side communication and control unit 1500 and outputs the converted AC signal frequency. A half bridge inverter or a full bridge inverter is an example of implementing this system. In the wireless power transmission system, various amplifiers for converting direct current to alternating current can be applied. For example, there are class A, class B, class AB, class C, class E class F amplifiers. The transmission side DC/AC conversion unit 1200 may include an oscillator for generating a frequency of an output signal and a power amplifier for amplifying an output signal.

The transmission-side impedance matching unit 1300 minimizes the reflected waves at points having different impedances to improve the signal flow. Since the two coils of the transmitting unit 1000 and the receiving unit 2000 are spatially separated and leakage of the magnetic field is large, the impedance difference between the two connecting ends of the transmitting unit 1000 and the receiving unit 2000 is corrected such that power transfer efficiency improves. The impedance matching unit 1300 may include an inductor, a capacitor, and a resistance element. The impedance of the inductor, the capacitance of the inductor, and the resistance of the resistance may be varied under the control of the communication and control unit 1500 such that the impedance value can be adjusted. When the wireless power transmission system transmits power in a self-induction manner, the transmission-side impedance matching unit 1300 may have a series resonance structure or a parallel resonance structure, and may increase an inductive coupling coefficient between the transmission unit 1000 and the reception unit 2000 such that the energy loss can be minimized by increasing the inductive coupling coefficient. When the wireless power transmission system transmits power in a self-resonant manner, the transmission-side impedance matching unit 1300 may change the separation distance between the transmission unit 1000 and the reception unit 2000, or may perform real-time correction of impedance matching according to a change in matching impedance on an energy transmission line due to a change in characteristics of a coil due to mutual influence by a foreign object (FO) or a plurality of devices. A matching method, a method using a multi-loop, or the like can be used as a correction method.

The transmission coil 1400 may be implemented as a plurality of coils or a single coil. If a plurality of transmission coils 1400 are provided, they may be spaced apart from each other or be overlapped with each other. The overlapping area between the plurality of transmission coils 1400 can be determined in consideration of the deviation of the magnetic flux density. Also, when fabricating the transmission side coil 1400, it can be manufactured in consideration of the internal resistance and the radiation resistance. If the resistance component is small, the quality factor can be increased and the transmission efficiency can be increased.

The communication and control unit 1500 may include a transmission side control unit 1510 and a transmission side communication unit 1520. The transmission-side controller 1510 may adjust the output voltage of the transmission-side AC/DC converter 1100 in consideration of the power demand of the receiver 2000, the current charge amount, and the wireless power scheme. The frequency and switching waveforms for driving the transmission side DC/AC converter 1200 may be generated in consideration of the maximum power transmission efficiency to control power to be transmitted. Also, the overall operation of the receiving unit 2000 can be controlled using an algorithm, a program, or an application required for the control read from the storage unit (not shown) of the receiving unit 2000. Meanwhile, the transmission-side controller 1510 may be referred to as a microprocessor, a microcontroller unit, or a microcomputer. The transmission-side communication unit 1520 can perform communication with the reception-side communication unit 2620, and can use a short-range communication scheme such as Bluetooth, NFC, Zigbee, etc. as a communication scheme. The transmission side communication unit 1520 and the reception side communication unit 2620 can transmit and receive the charging status information and the charging control command to each other. The charging status information may include the number of the receiving unit 2000, the remaining battery level, the number of times of charging, the amount of usage, the battery capacity, the battery ratio, and the transmission power amount of the transmission unit 1000. The transmission side communication unit 1520 can also transmit a charging function control signal for controlling the charging function of the receiving unit 2000 and the charging function control signal is a control signal that controls the receiving unit 2000 to enable or disable the charging function.

As described above, the transmission-side communication unit 1520 may be communicated in an out-of-band format including a separate module, but the invention is not limited thereto. The transmission-side communication unit 1520 may perform communication in an in-band format using a feedback signal to be transmitted to a transmitter. For example, the receiving unit may modulate the feedback signal and transmit information such as start of charge, end of charge, battery condition, etc. to the transmitter through a feedback signal. The transmission side communication unit 1520 may be configured separately from the transmission side control unit 1510 and the reception side communication unit 2620 and may be included in the control unit 2610 of the reception device or may be separately configured have.

The transmitting unit 1000 of the wireless power transmission system according to the embodiment may further include a detecting unit 107.

The detecting unit 107 detects at least one signal of an input signal of the transmitting side AC/DC converting unit 1100, an output signal of the transmitting side AC/DC converting unit 1100, an input signal of the transmitting side DC/AC converting unit 1200, the input signal of the transmission side impedance matching unit 1300, the output signal of the transmission side impedance matching unit 1300, the input signal of the transmission side coil 1400, or a signal on the transmission side coil 1400. The detected signal is fed back to the communication and control unit 1500 and the communication and control unit 1500 controls the transmission side AC/DC conversion unit 1100, the transmission side DC/AC conversion unit 1200, and the transmission side impedance matching unit 1300. The communication and control unit 1500 can perform FOD (Foreign Object Detection) based on the detection result of the detection unit 1600. The detected signal may be at least one of a voltage and a current. On the other hand, the detection unit 107 may be configured by hardware different from the communication and control unit 1500, or may be implemented by one hardware.

The receiving unit 2000 includes a single or a plurality of receiving units 2000, and wirelessly receives energy from the transmitting unit 1000 at the same time. That is, in the self-resonant wireless power transmission system, a plurality of target receiving units 2000 can receive power from one transmitter 1000. At this time, the transmitter matching unit 1300 of the transmitter 1000 may adaptively perform impedance matching between the plurality of receiving units 2000. This can be equally applied to a case in which a plurality of reception side coil independent of each other in the magnetic induction method are provided.

When the receiving unit 2000 includes a plurality of units, the power receiving systems may be the same system or different systems. In this case, the transmitting unit 1000 may be a system for transmitting power by a magnetic induction system or a self-resonance system, or a system for mixing both systems.

Meanwhile, in the case of the wireless power transmission of the magnetic induction type, the transmission side AC/DC conversion unit 1100 in the transmission unit 1000 may transmit DC signal of several tens or several hundreds volts (for example, 10 V to 20 V) by applying an AC signal of several tens to several hundreds of Hz (for example, 60 Hz) of several tens or several hundreds volts (For example, 110 V to 220 V).

The receiving side DC/DC converting section 2400 can output a DC signal of, for example, 5V suitable for the load 2500 and transmit it to the load 2500. In the case of the wireless power transmission of the self-resonance type, the transmitting side AC/DC converting unit 1100 in the transmitting unit 1000 may transmit DC signal of several tens or several hundreds V (for example, 10 V to 20 V) by applying an AC signal of several tens to several hundreds of Hz (for example, 60 Hz) of several tens or several hundreds volts (For example, 110 V to 220 V).

FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating an operation of the wireless power transmission system, and is a flowchart illustrating an operation of the wireless power transmission system.

Referring to FIG. 5, a transmitter according to an embodiment may have at least 1) a standby state, 2) a digital ping state, 3) an authentication state, 4) a power transmission state, and 5) a charge completion state.

[Standby]

(1) When power is supplied from the outside to the transmitter 1000 to start the transmitter 1000, the transmitter 1000 may be in a standby state. The transmitting unit 1000 in the standby state can detect the presence of an object (for example, the receiving unit 2000 or metallic foreign matter FO) disposed in the charging area. In addition, the transmitter 1000 can detect whether or not the object is removed from the charging area.

(2) As a method for detecting the presence of an object in the charging area, the transmitter 1000 can detect an object by monitoring a change in magnetic flux, a change in capacitance or inductance between the object and the transmitter 1000, or a shift in resonance frequency But is not limited thereto.

(3) When the transmitter 1000 detects an object that is the receiver 2000 in the charging area, it can proceed to the next digital ping state.

(4) Also, the transmitter 1000 can detect a FO such as a metallic foreign substance in the charged region when the FO is disposed within the charged region.

(5) On the other hand, if the transmitter 1000 does not acquire enough information to distinguish between the receiver 2000 and the FO in the waiting state, the receiver goes to the digital ping state or goes to the authentication state to check whether the receiver 2000 or FO have.

[Digital Ping]

(1) In the digital ping state, the transmission unit 1000 is connected to the chargeable reception unit 2000, and confirms that it is an effective reception unit 2000 that can be charged with radio power provided from the transmission unit 1000. The transmission unit 1000 can generate and output a digital ping having a predetermined frequency and timing to be connected to the chargeable reception unit 2000.

(2) If a sufficient power signal for digital ping is transmitted to the receiving unit 2000, the receiving unit 2000 can respond to the digital ping by modulating the power signal according to a communication protocol. If the transmitting unit 1000 receives a valid signal from the receiving unit 2000, it can proceed to the authentication state without removing the power signal. If the EOC (End Of Charging) request is received from the receiving unit 2000, the transmitting unit 1000 may proceed to the charging end state.

(3) In addition, when the effective receiving unit 2000 is not detected or when the response time of the object for the digital ping exceeds a predetermined time, the transmitting unit 1000 can return to the standby state by removing the power signal. Therefore, if the FO is placed in the charging area, the transmitter 1000 can return to the standby state because the FO cannot make any response.

[Identification]

(1) When the response of the receiving unit 2000 according to the digital ping of the transmitting unit 1000 is completed, the transmitting unit 1000 may transmit the transmitting unit authentication information to the receiving unit 2000 to confirm compatibility between the transmitting and receiving units 1000 and 2000. When the compatibility is confirmed, the receiving unit 2000 can transmit authentication information to the transmitting unit 1000. The transmitting unit 1000 can confirm the receiving unit authentication information of the receiving unit 2000.

(2) When the mutual authentication is completed, the transmitter 1000 proceeds to the power transmission state. If the authentication fails, or the authentication time exceeds the predetermined authentication time, the transmitter 1000 can return to the standby state.

[Power Transfer State]

(1) The communication and control unit 1500 of the transmission unit 1000 can provide charging power to the reception unit 2000 by controlling the transmission unit 1000 based on the control data provided from the reception unit 2000.

(2) Furthermore, the transmitter 1000 can verify that the proper operating range is not exceeded or that the stability according to the FOD is not problematic.

(3) In addition, when the transmitter 1000 receives a charge completion signal from the receiver 2000, or if the transmitter 1000 receives a predetermined limit temperature value, the transmitter 1000 can stop the power transmission and proceed to the charge completion state.

(4) In addition, when the situation becomes unsuitable for transmitting power, the power signal can be removed and returned to the standby state. If the receiving unit 2000 enters the charging area again after the receiving unit 2000 is removed, the above-described cycle can be performed again.

(5) In accordance with the charged state of the load 2500 of the receiving unit 2000, the charged state can be returned to the authenticated state again and the adjusted charging power can be provided to the receiving unit 2000 based on the state information of the load 2500.

[End of Charge (EOC))

(1) The transmitter 1000 may receive information indicating that charging has been completed from the receiver 2000 or may proceed to a charging termination state when the receiver 2000 receives information that the receiver 2000 has risen above a preset temperature.

(2) When the transmitting unit 1000 receives the charging completion information from the receiving unit 2000, the transmitting unit can stop the power transmission and wait for a predetermined time. After a predetermined time has elapsed, the transmitting unit 1000 may enter the digital ping state to be connected to the receiving unit 2000 disposed in the charging area.

(3) If the transmitter 1000 receives information indicating that the preset temperature has been exceeded from the receiver 2000, it can wait for a certain period of time. After a lapse of a predetermined time, the transmitting unit 1000 may enter the digital ping state to be connected to the receiving unit 2000 disposed in the charging area.

(4) Also, the transmitter 1000 can monitor whether the receiver 2000 is removed from the charging area for a predetermined time, and can return to the standby state when the receiver 2000 is removed from the charging area.
