Abstract:Wireless power transfer technology (WPT) enables energy transmission in a contactless manner, holding significant application value in fields such as electric vehicles, medical implants, and industrial robots. By combining the strong coupling capability of magnetic-field coupled wireless power transfer (MC-WPT) and the superior misalignment tolerance of electric-field coupled wireless power transfer (EC-WPT), a hybrid-field coupled wireless power transfer (HC-WPT) system is formed, which enhances power density while increasing the transmission power. To address the limitation that existing HC-WPT systems do not consider the distributed capacitance between the coils and plates, this paper constructs a discrete-integrated electromagnetic hybrid-field coupled WPT system. First, an integrated coupling mechanism is established, in which the transmitter and receiver coils serve as the magnetic-field coupling channel and the shielding aluminum plates act as the electric-field coupling channel. The composition and connection configuration of the distributed capacitance are analyzed, and a complete equivalent model of the coupling mechanism is subsequently established. Second, equivalent models for the electric and magnetic field channels under the action of separate input sources are established, taking into account interactive coupling. The interactive coupling of the two energy transmission channels is parameterized. Furthermore, a parameter configuration method for the discrete resonant networks-LCC-S topology for the magnetic energy channel and LCLL-LC topology for the electric field channel—is provided. Subsequently, the power transfer characteristics of the system are analyzed, clarifying that the magnetic field channel exhibits constant voltage output characteristics, while the electric field channel shows constant-excitation characteristics for the coupling mechanism. A power allocation strategy aimed at regulating the output power ratios of the two channels is proposed; by adjusting the input voltage of the electric energy channel, balanced power distribution between the two energy channels under varying coupling conditions is achieved. Finally, a prototype of the discrete-integrated electromagnetic hybrid-field coupled WPT system with a 50 mm transfer distance and 770 W output is built, validating the effectiveness of the resonant parameter configuration method and the power allocation strategy.
