按照无线充电原理不同,无线充电方式主要分为磁耦合(或电磁感应)、磁共振以及无线电波三种方式。目前,主流的无线充电标准包括QI标准、电源实物联盟(power matters alliance,PMA)标准、无线电源联盟(alliance for wireless power,A4WP)。QI标准和PMA标准均采用磁耦合方式进行无线充电。A4WP标准采用磁共振方式进行无线充电。
下面结合图1,对一实施例的无线充电方式进行介绍。
如图1所示,无线充电系统包括电源提供设备110、无线充电装置120以及待充电设备130,其中无线充电装置120例如可以是无线充电底座,待充电设备130例如可以是终端。
电源提供设备110与无线充电装置120连接之后,会将电源提供设备110的输出电压和输出电流传输至无线充电装置120。
无线充电装置120可以通过内部的无线发射电路121将电源提供设备110的输出电压和输出电流转换成无线充电信号(电磁信号)进行发射。例如,该无线发射电路121可以将电源提供设备110的输出电流转换成交流电,并通过发射线圈或发射天线将该交流电转换成无线充电信号。
图1只是示例性地给出了无线充电系统的示意性结构图,但本申请实施例并不限于此。例如,无线充电装置120也可以是无线充电信号的发射装置,待充电设备130也可以是无线充电信号的接收装置。无线充电信号的接收装置例如可以是具有无线充电信号接收功能的芯片,可以接收无线充电装置120发射的无线充电信号;该无线充电信号的接收装置也可以是待充电设备。
待充电设备包括但不限于:被设置成经由有线线路连接(如经由公共交换电话网络(public switched telephone network,PSTN)、数字用户线路(digital subscriber line,DSL)、数字电缆、直接电缆连接,以及/或另一数据连接/网络)和/或经由(例如,针对蜂窝网络、无线局域网(wireless local area network,WLAN)、诸如手持数字视频广播(digital video broadcasting handheld,DVB-H)网络的数字电视网络、卫星网络、调幅-调频(amplitude modulation-frequency modulation,AM-FM)广播发送器,以及/或另一通信终端的)无线接口接收/发送通信信号的装置。被设置成通过无线接口通信的终端可以被称为“无线通信终端”、“无线终端”以及/或“移动终端”。移动终端的示例包括,但不限于卫星或蜂窝电话;可以组合蜂窝无线电电话与数据处理、传真以及数据通信能力的个人通信系统(personal communication system,PCS)终端;可以包括无线电电话、寻呼机、因特网/内联网接入、Web浏览器、记事簿、日历以及/或全球定位系统(global positioning system,GPS)接收器的个人数字助理(personal digital assistant,PDA);以及常规膝上型和/或掌上型接收器或包括无线电电话收发器的其它电子装置。在某些实施例中,待充电设备可指移动终端是设备或手持终端设备,如手机、pad等。在某些实施例中,本申请实施例提及的待充电设备可以是指芯片系统,在该实施例中,待充电设备的电池可以属于或也可以不属于该芯片系统。
下面以无线充电装置、待充电设备为例进行描述。
待充电设备130可以通过无线接收电路131接收无线发射电路121发射的无线充电信号,并将该无线充电信号转换成无线接收电路131的输出电压和输出电流。例如,该无线接收电路131可以通过接收线圈或接收天线将无线发射电路121发射的无线充电信号转换成交流电,并对该交流电进行整流和/或滤波等操作,将该交流电转换成无线接收电路131的输出电压和输出电流。
在一些实施例中,在无线充电之前,无线充电装置120与待充电设备130会预先协商无线发射电路121的发射功率。假设无线充电装置120与待充电设备130之间协商的功率为5W,则无线接收电路131的输出电压和输出电流一般为5V和1A。假设无线充电装置120可与待充电设备130之间协商的功率为10.8W,则无线接收电路131的输出电压和输出电流一般为9V和1.2A。
若无线接收电路131的输出电压并不适合直接加载到电池133两端,则是需要先经过待充电设备130内的变换电路132进行恒压和/或恒流控制,以得到待充电设备130内的电池133所预期的充电电压和/或充电电流。
变换电路132可用于对无线接收电路131的输出电压进行变换,以使得变换电路132 的输出电压和/或输出电流满足电池133所预期的充电电压和/或充电电流的需求。
作为一种示例,该变换电路132例如可以是充电集成电路(integrated circuit,IC),或者可以为电源管理电路。在电池133的充电过程中,变换电路132可用于对电池133的充电电压和/或充电电流进行管理。该变换电路132可以包含电压反馈功能,和/或,电流反馈功能,以实现对电池133的充电电压和/或充电电流的管理。
在一些实施例中,电池的充电过程可包括涓流充电阶段,恒流充电阶段和恒压充电阶段中的一个或者多个。在涓流充电阶段,变换电路132可利用电流反馈功能使得在涓流充电阶段进入到电池133的电流满足电池133所预期的充电电流大小(譬如第一充电电流)。在恒流充电阶段,变换电路132可利用电流反馈功能使得在恒流充电阶段进入电池133的电流满足电池133所预期的充电电流大小(譬如第二充电电流,该第二充电电流可大于第一充电电流)。在恒压充电阶段,变换电路132可利用电压反馈功能使得在恒压充电阶段加载到电池133两端的电压的大小满足电池133所预期的充电电压大小。
作为一种示例,当无线接收电路131的输出电压大于电池133所预期的充电电压时,变换电路132可用于对无线接收电路131的输出电压进行降压处理,以使降压转换后得到的充电电压满足电池133所预期的充电电压需求。作为又一种示例,当无线接收电路131的输出电压小于电池133所预期的充电电压时,变换电路132可用于对无线接收电路131的输出电压进行升压处理,以使升压转换后得到的充电电压满足电池133所预期的充电电压需求。
作为又一示例,以无线接收电路131输出5V恒定电压为例,当电池133包括单个电芯时,变换电路132(例如Buck降压电路)可对无线接收电路131的输出电压进行降压处理,以使得降压后得到的充电电压满足电池133所预期的充电电压需求。
作为又一示例,以无线接收电路131输出5V恒定电压为例,当电池133包括相互串联的两节或两节以上电芯时,变换电路132(例如Boost升压电路)可对无线接收电路131的输出电压进行升压处理,以使得升压后得到的充电电压满足电池133所预期的充电电压需求。
变换电路132受限于功率转换效率(也可称为能量转换效率,或电路转换效率)低下的原因,致使未被转换部分的电能以热量的形式散失。这部分热量会聚焦在待充电设备130的内部。待充电设备130的设计空间和散热空间都很小(例如,用户使用的移动终端物理尺寸越来越轻薄,同时移动终端内密集排布了大量的电子元器件以提升移动终端的性能),这不但提升了变换电路132的设计难度,还会导致聚焦在待充电设备130内的热量很难及时移除,进而引发待充电设备130的异常。
例如,变换电路132上聚集的热量可能会对变换电路132附近的电子元器件造成热干扰,引发电子元器件的工作异常。又如,变换电路132上聚集的热量,可能会缩短变换电路132及附近电子元件的使用寿命。又如,变换电路132上聚集的热量,可能会对电池133造成热干扰,进而导致电池133充放电异常。又如变换电路132上聚集的热量,可能会导致待充电设备130的温度升高,影响用户在充电时的使用体验。又如,变换电路132上聚集的热量,可能会导致变换电路132自身的短路,使得无线接收电路131的输出电压直接加载在电池133两端而引起充电异常,如果电池133长时间处于过压充电状态,甚至会引发电池133的爆炸,危及用户安全。
通常来讲,变换电路132的输入电压和输出电压之间的压差越大,其降压转换效率越低,发热越严重。采用基于高压的无线信号传输方式势必会导致变换电路132的输入电压和输出电压之间的压差较大。因此,为了降低变换电路的输入电压和输出电压之间的压差,越来越多的待充电设备采用低压大电流的方式为电池进行充电,但是充电电流较大会导致无线接收电路131处也聚集大量的热量。
以充电功率等于20W为例,为了降低变换电路132的发热,无线充电装置120可采用低压大电流的方式输出充电功率,例如,采用5V/4A的充电功率。相应地,无线接收 电路131可以将无线充电信号转换成5V/4A的输出电压/输出电流,而大电流会导致无线发射电路121的发射线圈和无线接收电路131的接收线圈在电能传输过程中产生较大热量。充电过程中的发热会影响充电速度、产品寿命,以及还会降低产品可靠性。
综上,如何减小无线充电过程中的发热成为亟需解决的问题。
在一些相关技术中,为了减小无线充电过程中线圈的发热,会采用低充电功率的方式,例如,无线充电装置120只输出最高7.5W的充电功率对待充电设备130进行充电。这样的充电方式,充电速度慢,需要花费很长的时间才能将待充电设备130的电量充满。
在另一些相关技术中,相比于低充电功率的方式,为了加快充电速度,无线充电装置120提高充电功率(例如,充电功率从7.5W提高到10W)进行无线充电。但是,这样的充电方式,并没有将充电时长缩小到预期(例如,小于100分钟)。如上所述,当采用高功率进行无线充电时,必然会引起线圈的发热或变换电路130的发热。在采用磁耦合方式进行无线充电的系统中,无线充电装置120和待充电设备130之间的距离,通常是很小的,无线充电装置120的发热的线圈会将热传递给待充电设备130。而对于待充电设备130自身,其线圈和变换电路的发热,在一定程度上会传递给电池,再加上电池在充电过程中自身的发热,会使得电池的温度很容易超过安全充电范围。当线圈的发热、变换电路的发热以及电池的发热超过安全范围时,必须再回到低充电功率(例如,7.5W)或暂停充电的方式,来保证充电的安全。因此,该相关技术中,虽然提高了无线充电的最大充电功率,但是采用最大充电功率充电的时长是很短的,而只是短时间内以较高功率进行无线充电,并不会将充电时长缩短到预期。
此外,为了减少发热,一些相关技术中还采用石墨烯、散热板等散热技术,在充电过程中进行散热。然而,这些散热技术的效果并不理想,而且会增加产品成本,占用产品的内部空间,影响产品美观。
为解决上述问题,本申请实施例提供一种无线充电系统。该无线充电系统可以包括无线充电信号的发射装置(例如,上述无线充电装置)与无线充电信号的接收装置(例如,上述待充电设备)。无线充电信号的发射装置与无线充电信号的接收装置能够进行无线通信,且该无线充电信号的发射装置的发射功率可以基于无线充电信号的接收装置发送的反馈信息进行调节,使得无线充电信号的发射装置的发射功率与电池当前所需的充电电压和/或充电电流相匹配。由此,可根据无线充电信号的接收装置的充电需求,提高无线充电功率,提高充电速度。
其次,为了避免无线接收电路的输出电流过大,无线充电信号的接收装置也可以对无线接收电路的输出电流进行反馈,这样,无线充电信号的发射装置可以基于无线接收电路的输出电流的反馈信息,对发射功率进行调节,使得无线接收电路的输出电流满足预设条件。
通过无线充电信号的发射装置控制无线接收电路的输出电流,从而可以控制无线发射电路(其包括发射线圈)和无线接收电路(其包括接收线圈)的发热,减小充电过程中的发热。由此,相比于相关技术,可以延长高功率无线充电的时长,提高充电速度,并缩短充电时间。下文结合图2描述本申请实施例提供的无线充电系统,能够通过控制无线接收电路的输出电流来控制充电过程中的发热。

第一通信控制电路222根据第一反馈信号调整无线充电信号的发射功率,可以指根据第一反馈信号调整无线充电信号的发射功率对应的电压和/或电流的大小。无线充电信号的发射功率对应的电压和/或电流的大小,可以理解为无线发射电路发射的无线充电信号被无线接收电路接收后,被无线接收电路转换后的输出电压和/或输出电流的大小。
调整无线充电信号的发射功率可以是在无线充电信号的发射功率一定的情况下,调整无线充电信号的发射功率对应的电压和电流之间的关系。例如,在发射功率一定的情况下,可以通过增大电压来减小电流。
无线发射电路221发射的无线充电信号可以被无线接收电路231接收到,无线接收电路231可以将接收到的无线充电信号转换成无线接收电路231的输出电压和输出电流。
上文指出,无线发射电路221和无线接收电路231中的输出电流的大小是影响无线充电过程中的发热的关键因素。本申请实施例中,第一通信控制电路222可以根据接收到的无线接收电路的输出电流对应的反馈信号,对无线充电信号的发射功率进行调整,使得无线接收电路的输出电流满足预设条件。由此,相比于相关技术,可控制无线接收电路中接收线圈的发热,降低充电过程的发热。
本申请实施例对无线充电信号的发射装置220中的第一通信控制电路222与无线充电信号的接收装置230中的第二通信控制电路235的通信方式不做具体限定。可选地,在一些实施例中,第一通信控制电路222和第二通信控制电路235可以采用蓝牙(bluetooth)通信、无线保真(wireless fidelity,Wi-Fi)通信或反向散射(backscatter)调制方式(或功率负载调制方式)通信、基于高载波频率的近距离无线通信、光通信、超声波通信、超宽带通信或移动通信等无线通信方式进行通信。

作为一个示例,第一反馈信号可以包括无线接收电路231的输出电流的大小,和/或包括无线接收电路231的输出电流与目标值之间的差异。其中,目标值可以是目标最大值,即预设的无线接收电路231的输出电流的最大值,当无线接收电路231的输出电流超过目标值时,表示无线接收电路231的发热会比较严重。

举例说明,当第一反馈信号指示无线接收电路231的输出电流高于目标值1A时,第一通信控制电路222可以对无线发射电路221的输出电压进行较大的升高,如可以将无线发射电路221的发射功率的档位调整两格;当第一反馈信号指示无线接收电路231的输出电流高于目标值0.5A时,第一通信控制电路222可以对无线发射电路221的输出电压进行较小的升高,如可以将无线发射电路221的发射功率的档位调整一格。
作为又一示例,第一反馈信号也可以包括调整信息,以指示无线发射电路增大或减小发射功率。例如,第一反馈信号可以指示第一通信控制电路222增大无线发射电路221的发射功率;又例如,第一反馈信号可以指示第一通信控制电路222减小无线发射电路221的发射功率。更为具体地,无线充电信号的发射装置220可以为无线发射电路221设置发射功率的多个档位,第一通信控制电路222每接收到一次调整信息,就将无线发射电路221的发射功率的档位调整一格,直到无线接收电路231的输出电流满足预设条 件。
通过调整信息来指示无线发射电路增大或减小发射功率的方式,不需要第一通信控制电路经过多次反馈和确认,可以通过一次反馈就可以将无线发射电路的发射功率调整到需要的功率,从而能够节省环路响应时间。

可以理解,第一反馈信号也可以包括上文描述的各种情况的任意组合。例如,第一反馈信号可以包括无线接收电路231的输出电流的大小,以及无线接收电路231输出电流的大小与目标值之间的差异。又例如,第一反馈信号可以包括无线接收电路231输出电流的大小与目标值之间的差异,以及增大或减小无线发射电路221的发射功率的调整信息。
可以理解,在无线发射电路221的发射功率一定的情况下,无线接收电路231的输出电压和输出电流存在一定的反比例关系。因此,上文所述的第一反馈信号也可以包括无线接收电路231的输出电压的相关信息。
本申请实施例对第一通信控制电路222调整无线充电信号的发射功率的方式不做具体限定。
作为一个示例,第一通信控制电路222可以通过调整无线充电信号的发射频率来调整无线充电信号的发射功率。当无线接收电路231的输出电流高于目标值时,第一通信控制电路222可以通过增大无线充电信号的发射频率来增大无线接收电路231的输出电压,从而减小无线接收电路的输出电流。
可以理解,在无线发射电路221的输入电压一定的情况下,通过增加无线充电信号的发射频率可以在一定程度上增加无线接收电路231的输出电压,从而能够减小无线接收电路231的输出电流。
作为又一示例,第一通信控制电路222也可以通过调整无线发射电路221的输入电压和/或输入电流来调整无线充电信号的发射功率。当无线接收电路231的输出电流高于目标值时,第一通信控制电路222可以通过增大无线发射电路221的输入电压来增大无线接收电路231的输出电压,从而减小无线接收电路231的输出电流。
可以理解,在无线发射电路221的发射功率一定的情况下,无线接收电路231的输出电压和输出电流存在一定的反比例关系,当无线接收电路231的输出电压增大时,无线接收电路231的输出电流就会减小。
可选地,无线充电信号的发射装置220还可以包括电压变换电路,其中,电压变换电路的输入端与电源提供设备的输出端电连接,电压变换电路的输出端与无线发射电路的输入端电连接,电压变换电路可用于对电源提供设备的输出电压和/或输出电流进行调整,得到电压变换电路的输出电压。换句话说,电压变换电路可以对电源提供设备的输出电压进行升压或降压处理,得到变换电路的输出电压。
通过调整无线发射电路的输入电压和/或输入电流来调整无线充电信号的发射功率,可以指通过调整电压变换电路的输出电压来调整无线充电信号的发射功率。
图3是无线发射电路的发射功率的调整方式的一个示例。请参见图3,无线充电信号的发射装置220还可以包括充电接口223,充电接口223可用于与外部的电源提供设备210相连。无线发射电路221还可用于根据电源提供设备210的输出电压和输出电流,生成无线充电信号。
第一通信控制电路222还可以在无线充电的过程中,调整无线发射电路221从电源 提供设备210的输出功率中抽取的功率量,以调整无线发射电路221的发射功率。例如,电源提供设备210也可以直接输出较大的固定功率(如40W),第一通信控制电路222可以直接调整无线发射电路221从电源提供设备210提供的固定功率中抽取的功率量。
本申请实施例中,电源提供设备210的输出功率可以是固定的。例如,电源提供设备210可以直接输出较大的固定功率(如40W),电源提供设备210可以按照该固定的输出功率向无线充电装置220提供输出电压和输出电流。在充电过程中,第一通信控制电路222可以根据实际需要从该电源提供设备的固定功率中抽取一定的功率量用于无线充电。也就是说,本申请实施例将无线发射电路221的发射功率调整的控制权分配给第一通信控制电路222,第一通信控制电路222能够在接收到第二通信控制电路235发送的反馈信号之后立刻对无线发射电路221的发射功率进行调整,具有调节速度快、效率高的优点。
本申请实施例对第一通信控制电路222从电源提供设备210提供的最大输出功率中抽取功率量的方式不做具体限定。例如,可以在无线充电信号的发射装置220内部设置电压转换电路224,该电压转换电路224可以与发射线圈或发射天线相连,用于调整发射线圈或发射天线接收到的功率。该电压转换电路224例如可以包括脉冲宽度调制(pulse width modulation,PWM)控制器和开关单元。第一通信控制电路222可以通过调整PWM控制器发出的控制信号的占空比,和/或通过控制开关单元的开关频率调整无线发射电路221的发射功率。
可选地,上述电压转换电路224的功能也可以通过第一通信控制电路222来实现。
本申请对电源提供设备210的类型不做具体限定。例如,电源提供设备210可以为适配器、移动电源(power bank)、车载充电器或电脑等设备。
本申请对充电接口223的类型不做具体限定。可选地,在一些实施例中,该充电接口223可以为USB接口。该USB接口例如可以是USB 2.0接口,micro USB接口,或USB TYPE-C接口。可选地,在另一些实施例中,该充电接口223还可以是lightning接口,或者其他任意类型的能够用于充电的并口和/或串口。
本申请实施例对第一通信控制电路222与电源提供设备210之间的通信方式不做具体限定。作为一个示例,第一通信控制电路222可以通过除充电接口之外的其他通信接口与电源提供设备210相连,并通过该通信接口与电源提供设备210通信。作为另一个示例,第一通信控制电路222可以以无线的方式与电源提供设备210进行通信。例如,第一通信控制电路222可以与电源提供设备210进行近场通信(near field communication,NFC)。作为又一个示例,第一通信控制电路222可以通过充电接口223与电源提供设备210进行通信,而无需设置额外的通信接口或其他无线通信模块,这样可以简化无线充电装置220的实现。例如,充电接口223为USB接口,第一通信控制电路222可以与电源提供设备210基于该USB接口中的数据线(如D+和/或D-线)进行通信。又如,充电接口223可以为支持功率传输(power delivery,PD)通信协议的USB接口(如USB TYPE-C接口),第一通信控制电路222与电源提供设备210可以基于PD通信协议进行通信。
可选地,本申请实施例对第一通信控制电路222调整无线充电信号的发射功率的方式不做具体限定。例如,第一通信控制电路222可以采用调整无线充电信号的频率来调整无线充电信号的发射功率,或者,第一通信控制电路222可以采用调整无线发射电路221的输入电压和/或输入电流来调整无线充电信号的发射功率,又或者,第一通信控制电路222可以同时调整无线充电信号的发射频率,以及无线发射电路221的输入电压和/或输入电流来调整无线充电信号的发射功率。
例如,当无线接收电路231的输出电流与目标值的差异较小时,第一通信控制电路222可以通过调整无线充电信号的发射频率来调整无线充电信号的发射功率。又例如,当无线接收电路231的输出电流与目标值之间的差异较大时,第一通信控制电路222可以 先通过调整无线发射电路221的输入电压对无线充电信号的发射功率进行粗调,然后再通过调整无线充电信号的发射频率对无线充电信号的发射功率进行精调。再例如,第一通信控制电路222也可以先通过调整无线充电信号的发射频率对无线充电信号的发射功率进行调整,当通过频率调整后的无线充电信号的发射功率还不能满足无线接收电路231对输出电流的要求,第一通信控制电路222可以再通过调整无线发射电路221的输入电压和/或输入电流对无线充电信号的发射功率进行调整。
可选地,如图4所示,无线充电信号的接收装置230还包括第一充电通道233,通过该第一充电通道233可将无线接收电路231的输出电压和/或输出电流提供给电池232,对电池232进行充电。
可选地,第一充电通道233上还可以设置电压转换电路239,该电压转换电路239的输入端与无线接收电路231的输出端电连接,用于对无线接收电路231的输出电压进行降压处理,以对电池232进行充电。
该电压转换电路239可以为Buck电路、Boost电路、电荷泵或者充电管理电路。
在一个实施例中,由于电荷泵由多个开关器件构成,电流流过开关器件产生的热量很小,几乎与电流直接经过导线相当,所以采用电荷泵作为电压转换电路239,不但可以起到降压效果,而且发热较低。作为一个示例,电压转换电路239还可为半压电路。
可选地,电压转换电路239可用于对无线接收电路231的输出电压进行降压和/或输出电流进行调整,使得电压转换电路239的输出电压和/或输出电流与电池当前所需的充电电压和/或充电电流相匹配。
如上文所述,电压转换电路239的转换效率受限于电压转换电路239的输入端与输出端之间的电压差,如果电压转换电路239两端的电压差过大,则会导致电压转换电路239的转换效率过低,致使未被转换部分的电能以热量的形式散失,使得电压转换电路239的发热较严重。
因此,电压转换电路239的输入端的电压不能过大,即无线接收电路231的输出电压不能过大,无线接收电路231的输出电流不能过小。
本申请实施例还可以设置无线接收电路231输出电流的目标最小值。在充电功率一定的情况下,如果无线接收电路231的输出电流越小,则无线接收电路231的输出电压越大。无线接收电路231的输出电压过大,会导致电压转换电路239的输入端和输出端之间的电压差越大。电压转换电路239两端的电压差越大,其降压转换效率越低,发热越严重。本申请实施例设置无线接收电路231输出电流的目标最小值,能够提高电压转换电路239的转换效率,进一步控制无线充电过程中的发热。
通过设置无线接收电路231的输出电流的目标最大值和目标最小值,不仅可以控制无线发射电路221和无线接收电路231的发热,还可以控制无线接收电路231的输出电压与电池的充电电压之间的压差,提升充电效率。
可选地,第二通信控制电路235可以向第一通信控制电路222发送第一反馈信号,以指示第一通信控制电路222对无线充电信号的发射功率进行调整,使得无线接收电路231的输出电流在预设区间内。其中,预设区间可以是由无线接收电路231的输出电流的目标最大值和目标最小值构成的区间。
当无线接收电路231的输出电流小于目标最小值时,第一通信控制电路222可以通过减小无线发射电路221的输出电压来增大无线接收电路231的输出电流。作为一个示例,第一通信控制电路222可以通过减小无线充电信号的发射频率来减小无线接收电路231的输出电压。作为又一示例,第一通信控制电路222可以通过减小无线发射电路221的输入电压来减小无线接收电路231的输出电压。作为再一示例,第一通信控制电路222也可以同时减小无线充电信号的发射频率,以及减小无线发射电路221的输入电压来减小无线接收电路的输出电压。具体的调节方式与上文描述的调节方式类似,为描述简洁,此处不再赘述。
可选地,减小无线发射电路221的输入电压也可以是指减小电压转换电路224的输出电压。
可以理解,设置无线接收电路231的输出电流的最小值,是为了保证电压转换电路239两端的电压差不至于过大,影响电压转换效率。因此,本申请实施例还可以设置电压转换电路239两端的电压差的第一目标最大值,第一通信控制电路222可以根据电压转换电路239的输入端和输出端之间的压差,来对无线充电信号的发射功率进行调整。
可选地,第一反馈信号也可以包括压差信息,该压差信息可以是电压转换电路239的输入端和输出端之间的压差值,或者也可以是压差之与第一目标最大值之间的差异。无线充电信号的接收装置230可以采集该压差信息,并基于该压差信息,向第一通信控制电路222发送第一反馈信号。第一通信控制电路222接收到该第一反馈信号后,可以根据压差信息调整无线充电信号的发射功率。
例如,当第一反馈信号指示的压差大于第一目标最大值时,第一通信控制电路222可以通过减小无线充电信号的发射频率和/或减小无线发射电路221的输入电压进行调整。
本申请实施例对第二通信控制电路235向第一通信控制电路222发送第一反馈信号的方式不做具体限定。
例如,第二通信控制电路235可以定期向第一通信控制电路222发送第一反馈信号。或者,第二通信控制电路235可以仅在无线接收电路的输出电流不满足预设条件后,再向第一通信控制电路222发送第一反馈信号,如果无线接收电路231的输出电流满足预设条件,第二通信控制电路235可以不向第一通信控制电路222发送第一反馈信号。
可选地,无线充电信号的接收装置还可包括检测电路,该检测电路可以检测电池的充电信息,并向第一通信控制电路222发送第二反馈信号,其中,第二反馈信号可以为电池的充电信息对应的反馈信号,电池的充电信息包括可以以下信息中的至少一种:充电电压、充电电流、当前电量以及当前电压。第一通信控制电路222可以根据第二反馈信号调整无线充电信号的发射功率。
其中,电池的充电电压和充电电流也可以指第一充电通道上的输出电压和输出电流。
在一实施例中,用于检测无线接收电路的输出电流的检测电路与用于检测电池的充电信息的检测电路为同一个检测电路。在另一实施例中,用于检测无线接收电路的输出电流的检测电路与用于检测电池的充电信息的检测电路为不同的检测电路,可以通过两个检测电路来分别检测无线接收电路的输出电流和电池的充电信息。
在一实施例中,对待充电设备而言,在涓流充电的过程中,电池的电压会不断上升,电池所需的充电功率也会随之增大。此时,需要增大无线充电信号的发射功率,以满足电池当前的充电需求。在恒压充电的过程中,电池的充电电流不断减小,电池所需的充电功率也会随之减小。此时,需要减小无线充电信号的发射功率,以满足电池当前的充电需求。
可选地,第一反馈信号可用于触发第一通信控制电路222调整无线充电信号的发射功率,使得无线充电信号的发射功率与电池的当前所需的充电电压和/或充电电流相匹配。
第一通信控制电路222可以根据第二反馈信号调整无线充电信号的发射功率,可以指第一通信控制电路222调整无线充电信号的发射功率,使得无线充电信号的发射功率与电池的当前所需的充电电压和/或充电电流相匹配。
无线发射电路221的发射功率与电池232当前所需的充电电压和/或充电电流相匹配可以指:第一通信控制电路222对无线充电信号的发射功率的配置使得第一充电通道233的输出电压和/或输出电流与电池232当前所需的充电电压和/或充电电流相匹配(或者,第一通信控制电路222对无线充电信号的发射功率的配置使得第一充电通道233的输出电压和/或输出电流满足电池232的充电需求(包括电池232对充电电压和/或充电电流的 需求))。
应理解,在本公开的一实施例中,“第一充电通道232的输出电压和/或输出电流与电池232当前所需的充电电压和/或充电电流相匹配”包括:第一充电通道232输出的直流电的电压值和/或电流值与电池232所需的充电电压值和/或充电电流值相等或在浮动预设范围(例如,电压值上下浮动100毫伏~200毫伏,电流值上下浮动0.001A~0.005A等)。
电池的充电过程可包括涓流充电阶段、恒流充电阶段和恒压充电阶段中的至少一个。
上述第二通信控制电路235根据检测电路检测到的第一充电通道233上的电压和/或电流,与第一通信控制电路222进行无线通信,以便第一通信控制电路222根据第一充电通道233上的电压和/或电流,调整无线发射电路221的发射功率可以包括:在电池232的涓流充电阶段,第二通信控制电路235根据检测到的第一充电通道233上的电压和/或电流,与第一通信控制电路222进行无线通信,以便第一通信控制电路222调整无线发射电路221的发射功率,使得第一充电通道233的输出电流与涓流充电阶段对应的充电电流相匹配(或者,使得第一充电通道233的输出电流满足电池232在涓流充电阶段对充电电流的需求)。
本申请实施例对第二反馈信号的内容不做具体限定。
作为一个示例,第二反馈信号可以包括电池的充电信息。第一通信控制电路222可以根据电池232的当前电量和/或当前电压,确定电池232当前所处的充电阶段,进而确定与电池232当前所需的充电电压和/或充电电流相匹配的目标充电电压和/或目标充电电流;然后,第一通信控制电路222还可以将第一充电通道233的输出电压和/或输出电流与上述目标充电电压和/或目标充电电流相比较,以确定第一充电通道233的输出电压和/或输出电流与电池232当前所需的充电电压和/或充电电流是否匹配,并在第一充电通道233的输出电压和/或输出电流与电池232当前所需的充电电压和/或充电电流不匹配的情况下,调整无线发射电路221的发射功率,直到第一充电通道233的输出电压和/或输出电流与电池232当前所需的充电电压和/或充电电流相匹配。
作为另一示例,第二通信控制电路235可以向第一通信控制电路222发送调整信息,以指示第一通信控制电路222调整无线发射电路221的发射功率。例如,第二通信控制电路235可以指示第一通信控制电路222增大无线发射电路221的发射功率;又如,第二通信控制电路235可以指示第一通信控制电路222减小无线发射电路221的发射功率。更为具体地,无线充电信号的发射装置220可以为无线发射电路221设置发射功率的多个档位,第一通信控制电路222每接收到一次调整信息,就将无线发射电路221的发射功率的档位调整一格,直到第一充电通道233的输出电压和/或输出电流与电池232当前所需的充电电压和/或充电电流相匹配。
图5是无线发射电路221的发射功率的调整方式的另一示例。图5的实施例对应的无线充电信号的发射装置220并非从电源提供设备210获取电能,而是直接将外部输入的交流电(如市电)转换成上述无线充电信号。
如图5所示,无线充电信号的发射装置220还可包括电压转换电路224和电源提供电路225。电源提供电路225可用于接收外部输入的交流电(如市电),并根据交流电生成电源提供电路225的输出电压和输出电流。例如,电源提供电路225可以对交流电进行整流和/或滤波,得到直流电或脉动直流电,并将该直流电或脉动直流电传输至电压转换电路224。
电压转换电路224可用于接收电源提供电路225的输出电压,并对电源提供电路225的输出电压进行转换,得到电压转换电路224的输出电压和输出电流。无线发射电路221还可用于根据电压转换电路224的输出电压和输出电流,生成无线充电信号。
本申请实施例在无线充电信号的发射装置220内部集成了类似适配器的功能,使得该无线充电信号的发射装置220无需从外部的电源提供设备获取功率,提高了无线充电 信号的发射装置220的集成度,并减少了实现无线充电过程所需的器件的数量。
本申请实施例采用高压低电流的方式进行能量传输,这种能量传输方式对无线发射电路221的输入电压(如10V或20V)要求较高,如果电源提供电路225的最大输出电压无法达到无线发射电路221的输入电压需求,电压转换电路224的设置可以使得无法达到无线发射电路221的输入电压达到期望的输入电压。当然,可替换地,如果电源提供电路225的输出电压可以达到无线发射电路221对输入电压需求,也可以省去电压转换电路224,以简化无线充电信号的发射装置220的实现。
可选地,本申请实施例可以为不同的充电阶段设置不同的无线接收电路的输出电流的范围。例如,对于涓流充电阶段,待充电设备所需的充电电流较小,可以设置较小输出电流范围;对于恒流充电阶段,待充电设备所需的充电电流较大,可以设置较大的充电电流范围。
在本申请的实施例中,无线充电信号的发射装置220调整无线发射电路221的输出功率的方式可有多种。具体的,调整方式可包括以下三种方式中的任一种和几种的组合:
(1)在无线发射电路221的输入电压固定的情况下,可以通过调整谐振电路的调谐频率和/或逆变电路的开关管的占空比等参数,实现对无线发射电路221的输出功率的调整。
(2)调整电压转换电路224的输出电压(即输入无线发射电路221的电压),由此,实现对无线发射电路221的输出功率的调整。
(3)通过调整电源提供设备210的输出电压(即输入无线充电信号的发射装置的电压),实现对无线发射电路221的输出功率的调整。
可选地,在一些实施例中,无线充电信号的发射装置220可以支持第一无线充电模式和第二无线充电模式,无线充电信号的发射装置220在第一无线充电模式下对待充电设备的充电速度快于无线充电信号的发射装置220在第二无线充电模式下对待充电设备的充电速度。换句话说,相较于工作在第二无线充电模式下的无线充电信号的发射装置220来说,工作在第一无线充电模式下的无线充电信号的发射装置220充满相同容量的待充电设备中的电池的耗时更短。
第二无线充电模式可为称为普通无线充电模式,例如可以是传统的基于QI标准、PMA标准或A4WP标准的无线充电模式。第一无线充电模式可为快速无线充电模式。该普通无线充电模式可以指无线充电信号的发射装置220的发射功率较小(通常小于15W,常用的发射功率为5W或10W)的无线充电模式,在普通无线充电模式下想要完全充满一较大容量电池(如3000毫安时容量的电池),通常需要花费数个小时的时间;而在快速无线充电模式下,无线充电信号的发射装置220的发射功率相对较大(通常大于或等于15W)。相较于普通无线充电模式而言,无线充电信号的发射装置220在快速无线充电模式下完全充满相同容量电池所需要的充电时间能够明显缩短、充电速度更快。
参见图6,在本公开的一实施例中,无线充电信号的接收装置230还包括:第二充电通道236。第二充电通道236可为导线。在第二充电通道236上可设置变换电路237,用于对无线接收电路231输出的直流电进行电压控制,得到第二充电通道236的输出电压和输出电流,以对电池232进行充电。
在一个实施例中,变换电路237可用于降压电路,并且输出恒流和/或恒压的电能。换句话说,该变换电路237可用于对电池的充电过程进行恒压和/或恒流控制。
当采用第二充电通道236对电池232进行充电时,无线发射电路221可采用恒定发射功率发射电磁信号,无线接收电路231接收电磁信号后,由变换电路237处理为满足电池232充电需求的电压和电流并输入电池232,实现对电池232的充电。应理解,在一些实施例中,恒定发射功率不一定是发射功率完全保持不变,其可在一定的范围内变动,例如,发射功率为7.5W上下浮动0.5W。
在该实施例中,检测电路234还用于根据检测到的无线接收电路中整流电路的输出 电压值与设定的目标值(例如,可为设定的整流电路需要输出的最大电压值)进行比较,确定误差值,再将误差值通过数据包的形式发送给无线充电信号的发射装置220。
在一实施例中,通过第二充电通道236对电池232进行充电时,无线充电信号的发射装置和待充电设备可按照Qi标准进行无线充电。由此,可通过信号调制的方式,将包含上述误差值的数据信号耦合到无线接收电路231的线圈以发送给无线发射电路221的线圈,再传输给第一通信控制电路。第一通信控制电路根据误差数据包的信息,调整无线发射电路221的发射参数,例如,发射线圈的工作频率等。
在本公开的实施例中,通过第一充电通道233对电池232进行充电的充电方式为第一无线充电模式,通过第二充电通道236对电池232进行充电的方式称为第二无线充电模式。无线充电信号的发射装置和待充电设备可通过握手通信确定采用第一无线充电模式还是第二无线充电模式对电池232进行充电。
本公开实施例中,在无线充电装置侧,当通过第一无线充电模式对待充电设备充电时,无线发射电路221的最大发射功率可为第一发射功率值。而通过第二无线充电模式对待充电设备进行充电时,无线发射电路221的最大发射功率可为第二发射功率值。其中,第一发射功率值大于第二发射功率值,由此,采用第一无线充电模式对待充电设备的充电速度大于第二无线充电模式。
可选地,第二通信控制电路235还可用于控制第一充电通道233和第二充电通道236之间的切换。例如,如图4所示,第一充电通道233上可以设置开关238,第二通信控制电路235可以通过控制该开关238的导通与关断控制第一充电通道233和第二充电通道236之间的切换。上文指出,在某些实施例中,无线充电信号的发射装置220可以包括第一无线充电模式和第二无线充电模式,且无线充电信号的发射装置220在第一无线充电模式下对待充电设备230的充电速度快于无线充电信号的发射装置220在第二无线充电模式下对待充电设备230的充电速度。当无线充电信号的发射装置220使用第一无线充电模式为待充电设备230内的电池充电时,待充电设备230可以控制第一充电通道233工作;当无线充电信号的发射装置220使用第二无线充电模式为待充电设备230内的电池充电时,待充电设备230可以控制第二充电通道236工作。
如上所述,在一个实施例中,为了降低无线充电过程中的线圈发热问题,采用第一无线充电模式时,可以采用上述图1-图3描述的充电方式进行无线充电。
在待充电设备侧,第二通信控制电路235可以根据充电模式,在第一充电通道233和第二充电通道236之间进行切换。当采用第一无线充电模式时,第二通信控制电路235控制第一充电通道233上的电压转换电路239工作。当采用第二无线充电模式时,第二通信控制电路235控制第二充电通道236上的变换电路237工作。
可选地,无线充电信号的发射装置220可以与无线充电信号的接收装置230之间进行通信,以协商无线充电信号的发射装置220与无线充电信号的接收装置230之间的充电模式。
除了上文描述的通信内容外,无线充电信号的发射装置220中的第一通信控制电路222与无线充电信号的接收装置230中的第二通信控制电路235之间还可以交互许多其他通信信息。在一些实施例中,第一通信控制电路222和第二通信控制电路235之间可以交互用于安全保护、异常检测或故障处理的信息,如电池232的温度信息,进入过压保护或过流保护的指示信息等信息,功率传输效率信息(该功率传输效率信息可用于指示无线发射电路221和无线接收电路231之间的功率传输效率)。
可选地,第二通信控制电路235与第一通信控制电路222之间的通信可以为单向通信,也可以为双向通信,本申请实施例对此不做具体限定。
在本申请的实施例中,第二通信控制电路的功能可由无线充电信号的接收装置230的应用处理器实现,由此,可以节省硬件成本。或者,也可由独立的控制芯片实现,由独立的控制芯片实现可提高控制的可靠性。
可选地,本申请实施例可以将无线接收电路232与电压转换电路239均集成在同一无线充电芯片中,这样可以提高待充电设备集成度,简化待充电设备的实现。例如,可以对传统无线充电芯片的功能进行扩展,使其支持充电管理功能。
本申请实施例提供的无线充电系统中的电池232可以包括一节电芯,也可以包括相互串联的N节电芯(N为大于1的正整数)。以N=2为例,电池232可以包括第一电芯和第二电芯,且第一电芯和第二电芯相互串联。以充电功率等于20W,单节电芯的充电电压等于5V为例进行说明。为了满足串联双电芯对充电电压的要求,第一充电通道233的输出电压/输出电流需要维持在10V/2A。这样一来,无线发射电路基于10V/2A生成电磁信号,相应地,无线接收电路将电磁信号转换成10V/2A的输出电压/输出电流,由于电流从4A降低至2A,电能传输过程产生的热量就会相应降低。因此,本申请实施例也可以采用相互串联的多节电芯,以降低无线发射电路221和无线接收电路231产生的热量。
上文是以N=2为例进行说明的,实际上,N的取值可以是3,也可以是3以上的正整数。相互串联的电芯越多,电能经过无线发射电路221和无线接收电路231所产生的热量就越小。
在本申请的一实施例中,为了保证充电速度,并进一步缓解无线充电信号的接收装置230的发热现象,本申请实施例对无线充电信号的接收装置230内部的电池结构进行了进一步的改造,引入了相互串联的多节电芯,与单电芯方案相比,如果要达到同等的充电速度,多节电芯所需的充电电流为单节电芯所需的充电电流的1/N(N为无线充电信号的接收装置230内的相互串联的电芯的数目),换句话说,在保证同等充电速度的前提下,本发明实施例可以大幅降低充电电流的大小,从而进一步减少无线充电信号的接收装置230在充电过程的发热量。
本申请的一实施例中的多节电芯可以是规格、参数相同或相近的电芯,规格相同或相近的电芯便于统一管理,且选取规格、参数相同或相近的电芯能够提高多节电芯的整体性能和使用寿命。
在充电的过程中,第一充电通道或第二充电通道输出的电能可用于对相互串联的多节电芯充电。在供电过程中,可采用降压电路将多节电芯的电压降压后对无线充电信号的接收装置230进行系统供电,或者也可采用单节电芯进行系统供电。此外,在充电过程中,如果需要对系统供电,可直接通过充电管理电路分一条通路,对系统进行供电。
为了保持多节电芯的电量均衡,在充放电过程中,可通过均衡电路对多节电芯进行电量均衡。均衡电路的实现方式很多,例如,可以在电芯两端连接负载,消耗电芯的电量,使其与其它电芯的电量保持一致,从而使得各个电芯的电压保持一致。或者,可以采用电量高的电芯为电量低的电芯充电的方式进行均衡,直到各个电芯的电压一致为止。
如前所述,电池的充电过程可包括涓流充电阶段、恒流充电阶段和恒压充电阶段中的一个或多个。在本申请的一实施例中,为了进一步提高充电速度,通过对充电电压和充电电流的控制,实现缩短恒压充电阶段的充电时长或去掉恒压充电阶段。从而,相比于相关技术中的充电过程,可极大地提高充电速度。
在一个实施例中,设置一高于电池的标准截止电压的限制电压Vn,以及设置多个充电电流[I1、I2、I3、……、In],n≥1。其中,I1≥I2≥I3……。应理解,限制电压Vn跟电池的体系、采用的材料等相关。在一些实施例中,若电池的标准截止电压为V0,可将Vn设置为V0+△V,例如,△V可在0.05V到0.1V之间取值。充电电流I1、I2、……、In的值也跟电池的体系、采用的材料等相关。例如,In可为700mA。
当电池体系确定后,电池的容量确定,根据充电电压、充电电流、充电时间和电池容量的关系,当充电电压等于限制电压Vn时,可确定不同阶段的充电电流的大小。在一些实施例中,可设置I1、I2、I3……In中,相邻两个充电电流之间的差值均为△I,例如,△I可在100mA到1A之间进行取值。
在一些实施例中,无论是采用上述的第一充电通道,还是第二充电通道,当电池电压被充到标准截止电压时,以充电电流I1对电池进行恒流充电,直到电池电压达到限制电压Vn。由于电池以电流I1进行恒流充电,停止后电压会产生回落。因此,可以再对电池以电流I2进行恒流充电,直到电池电压达到限制电压Vn。重复以上步骤,直至使用最后一个步次充电电流In充电至限制电压Vn,则可停止充电。由此,通过设置限制电压Vn,以及各个阶段的充电电流,可省去相关技术中的恒压充电阶段,极大地节省充电时间。即:
当电池电压充至标准截止电压时,通过多个充电阶段对电池进行充电,每个所述充电阶段对应一个充电电流,且相邻所述充电阶段的前一充电阶段对应的充电电流大于后一充电阶段对应的充电电流,每个所述充电阶段使用其对应的充电电流将所述电池的电压充电至限制电压,所述限制电压大于所述电池的标准截止电压;当多个所述充电阶段完成时,停止充电。
在另一些实施例中,无论是采用上述的第一充电通道,还是第二充电通道,当电池电压被充到标准截止电压时,以充电电流I1对电池进行恒流充电,直到电池电压达到限制电压Vn。再对电池以电流I2进行恒流充电,直到电池电压达到限制电压Vn。重复以上步骤,直至使用最后一个步次充电电流In充电至限制电压Vn,则以Vn为充电电压,恒压充电预设时间或待充电电流减小到预设值(例如,100mA),则停止充电。该实施例中由于能够提高充电截止电压,减小恒压充电的时长,由此,相比相关技术,也可极大的节省充电时间。即:
当电池电压充至标准截止电压时,通过多个充电阶段对电池进行充电,每个所述充电阶段对应一个充电电流,且相邻所述充电阶段的前一充电阶段对应的充电电流大于后一充电阶段对应的充电电流,每个所述充电阶段使用其对应的充电电流将所述电池的电压充电至限制电压,所述限制电压大于所述电池的标准截止电压;以所述限制电压对所述电池进行恒压充电,直到所述电池的充电电流达到目标恒压充电截止电流或充电时长达到预设时长,则充电停止。
当电池为多电芯时,上述方法中,需监测每一电芯的电压是否都达到标准截止电压和限制电压。当有任一电芯的电压达到标准截止电压或限制电压时,执行充电电流的变换操作。或者,在一些实施例中,也可以将已经充满的电芯的充电通路断开,而继续对未充满的电芯执行充电。即,每一电芯都可独立按照上述的充电过程进行充电操作。
