Abstract

Aiming at the detection needs of metal foreign matters in high-power wireless charging system, a method of metal foreign matter detection based on the impedance change of monitor coil has been proposed. By the monitor coil array laying on the surface of transmitter coil and monitoring its impedance change, the presence and location of metal matters could be detected. Also, a method to eliminate the harm of metal matters based on the passive shielding of monitor coil is proposed. Benefitting from the induced current inside monitor coil, the magnetic field and the heat of metal matters are reduced effectively which guarantee the normal charging process in presence of metal matters. Firstly, the mutual inductance coupling model of metal matter and monitor coil is built, and the detection principle based on the change between monitor coil impedance is demonstrated. Then the relationship between power loss and magnetic induction intensity is analyzed, and a passive shielding circuit is designed. Finally, experimental verification was carried out on a 3.3 kW wireless charging prototype, and the detection system could accurately detect the existence and location of 1-yuan coin. Under the continuous operation of wireless charging system and the shielding effect of monitor coil, its equilibrium temperature drops from 83.4 ℃ to 62.2 ℃, which is lower than the safety threshold of 80 ℃ in the current standard, ensuring the continuity of wireless charging process and system security.
