Abstract
In magnetically coupled wireless charging systems for electric vehicles, it is common for metal objects to enter the charging system. In this case, the strong magnetic field of wireless charging causes an eddy current effect in the metal object, which generates a large amount of heat. This heat accumulation poses a risk of fire. In this paper, a novel metal object detection system designed for wireless charging of electric vehicles is proposed. The system utilizes the principle that the coil impedance and coupling coefficient change with the presence of metal objects, and a set of composite coils is designed to improve the sensitivity of detection. The detection coil and feedback coil in the composite coil are decoupled by reverse series connection. An LC oscillating circuit based on transformer feedback is used to detect metal objects, and the circuit can make good use of the parameter changes of the composite coil. Finally, an experimental platform for wireless charging metal detection in electric vehicles has been built to validate the proposed system. Through testing, it has been demonstrated that the system can detect the presence of metal objects in a timely and accurate manner.
