Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of wireless electric energy testing, and particularly relates to a wireless electric energy transmission power, magnetism, heat and temperature rise testing system and method.
Background
At present, with the continuous development of scientific technology, after magnetic coupling resonant Wireless power transmission (Wireless power transfer) is first proposed by MIT in 2007, intensive research is rapidly initiated by related researchers around the world. However, the energy transmission mechanism of the magnetic coupling resonance type wireless power transmission still exists in the prior art, and the magnetic field is used as the medium of the energy transmission, and the size and the spatial distribution of the magnetic field have important significance for the research of the wireless power transmission mechanism in the magnetic coupling resonance state. Meanwhile, the thermal field distribution of the transmission space and the coil temperature rise research are very important for the reliability research and the transmission efficiency of the WPT system performance.
At present, magnetic field simulation is generally utilized to know the magnetic field situation, but various errors exist between simulation and actual situations, so that the measurement of the magnetic field distribution situation of the wireless power transmission device is of practical significance. The magnetic field measuring instruments in the market at the present stage are more in types, more precise instruments are high in price, large in size, low in measuring frequency range, poor in measuring applicability to a wireless power transmission system and high in price. The research specially aiming at the measurement of the space alternating magnetic field of the magnetic coupling resonance type WPT system is less, so that the research and development of a set of instruments for realizing the measurement of the space magnetic field of the WPT system are necessary.
The magnetic field comprises a natural magnetic field and an artificial magnetic field as a whole, wherein the natural magnetic field can be subdivided into a geomagnetic field and a biological magnetic field, and the magnetic fields are classified more finely along with the development of the understanding and detection technology. According to the magnetic field intensity, the method can be divided into: super-strong magnetic field (more than 10T) and medium-strong magnetic field (10)-4-10T), weak magnetic field (10)-9-10-4T) and weak magnetic field (less than 10)-9T), etc.; with the frequency of the magnetic field as a division criterion, the magnetic field can be divided into: a static magnetic field, a direct current magnetic field, a pulsed magnetic field, an alternating current magnetic field; the magnetic field is excited by a static current, the alternating magnetic field is a variable magnetic field, and the direction and the size of the magnetic field are not constant and change along with time. In time-varying magnetic fields, there is a very common time-varying form, namely a change in the amount of field over time in the form of a sine or cosine, called a time-harmonic electromagnetic field. The effects of different magnetic fields also differ, so that different measurement methods are required for different magnetic fields.
According to different magnetic field characteristics, different measuring methods are required, and the device mainly studies the measurement of the alternating magnetic field. The skin effect and eddy current effect are usually generated when the conductive medium is put into an alternating magnetic field. Depending on the conductive medium, some other effects may also occur. For example, a closed coil can have an electromagnetic induction phenomenon under the action of an alternating magnetic field, a rectangular semiconductor generates a Hall effect in the alternating magnetic field, and a ferromagnetic material can show a magnetoresistive effect. These principles can be used to measure an alternating magnetic field, and the main methods for measuring an alternating magnetic field include: an induction coil method, a hall effect method, a fluxgate method, a superconducting effect method, a magnetoresistance effect method, and the like.
(1) Method of induction coil
The induction coil method measures the magnetic field using the coil as a sensing probe. The detection precision can reach 20FT at the weakest, and no upper limit of measurement exists. The measuring frequency of the measuring method is 1Hz-1MHz, but the measuring magnetic field is very easily influenced by the environment, and the resistance, the inductance, the output circuit and the like of the detecting coil can influence the frequency response characteristic of the sensor.
(2) Fluxgate method
Fluxgate sensors were first used in the thirties of the last century to measure the earth's magnetic field, and have evolved to the present time with a number of improvements. The fluxgate sensor can measure the magnetic field intensity as 10-6~102G direct current or slowly varying alternating current magnetic field. It is mainly characterized by that it utilizes the soft magnetic material with high magnetic conductivity as magnetic core, and utilizes Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction and subsaturation principle of magnetic core in alternating magnetic field to develop and measure magnetic fieldProvided is a device. In recent years, with the development of industrial information science and technology, the appearance of some soft magnetic materials with low loss, low magnetostriction, low coercive force, high magnetic permeability and high saturation magnetic effect and the application of computer technology make the fluxgate sensor develop towards the direction of integration and miniaturization, and the price of the fluxgate sensor is reduced. The three-component fluxgate sensor is mainly applied to the aspect of measuring a weak magnetic field, has the characteristics of small volume, high stability and simple installation, and is used in the occasions of magnetic field measurement in ships, geomagnetism, magnetic detection stations, wells, metal detection and the like.
The weak magnetic field is measured by utilizing the magnetic modulation principle, namely, under the saturation excitation action of an alternating magnetic field, the magnetic induction intensity of the magnetic core of the iron core material in the magnetic field has a nonlinear relation with the magnetic field intensity. The fluxgate method mainly comprises a non-harmonic selection method and a harmonic selection method, wherein the first method is to consider all frequency spectrums of the induced electromotive force of the measuring probe without filtering; the second is to measure only even harmonics and filter out other harmonics.
(3) Hall effect method
The hall effect is that a conductor is placed in a magnetic field to be measured, and when the direction of current passing through the conductor is vertical to the direction of the magnetic field, a potential difference appears on a surface vertical to both the direction of the current and the direction of the magnetic field. The Hall effect is essentially the Lorentz force experienced during electronic drift. Since the semiconductor has a smaller number of free electrons, the drift velocity of the electrons is relatively large, resulting in a larger lorentz force and thus a larger hall voltage, and the semiconductor has a more pronounced hall effect than the conductor.
With the rise of semiconductor devices in the 60's of the 20 th century, the method is widely applied to actual magnetic field measurement, and the technology is mature. However, the hall device is easily affected by temperature, the measurement range is generally from a constant magnetic field to an alternating magnetic field of 1MHz, when the frequency is higher, the temperature of the hall device also rises, and the measurable magnetic field intensity is greatly weakened. Secondly, its noise level and sensitivity are also to be further improved.
(4) Magnetoresistance effect method
The magnetoresistance effect refers to a phenomenon that a metal or a semiconductor is changed correspondingly under the action of an external magnetic field. Giant magnetoresistive sensors (GMR), anisotropic magnetoresistive sensors (AMR), etc. are made using the magnetoresistive effect. The anisotropic magneto-resistance sensor is widely applied, and has the characteristics of low power consumption, small volume, good frequency response and smaller sensitivity range.
(5) Magneto-optical effect method
Magneto-optical effects were discovered by british physicists and chemists as early as 1845. The magneto-optical effect method is to apply the effect, and to put light-transmitting substances into a magnetic field, the magneto-optical effect can change the phase, amplitude or polarization state of light.
Since 1976, optical fiber communication technology and optoelectronic technology have been developed rapidly, and the rapid development of some technologies has led to the application of optical fiber sensing technology to magnetic field measurement. The optical fiber does not influence the measured field and has the characteristics of high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, high pressure resistance and the like, so that the optical fiber sensor can be normally used in a worse environment, such as the strong magnetic field in a superconducting magnet. In addition, the device also has the advantages of small volume, light weight, wide frequency band, high sensitivity, large dynamic range and the like. But its cost is high, which is also an important factor affecting its wide application.
(6) Superconducting effect method
The principle of the superconducting effect method is that the critical current in the superconducting junction fluctuates with the period of the magnetic field, and people use the phenomenon to measure the magnetic field. Because the low-temperature environment of the superconducting material is difficult to reach, at present, the research is mainly carried out on high-temperature superconductivity, for example, a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) is a very typical high-temperature superconducting magnet measuring instrument. The SQUID can induce magnetic field in f T-9T range, and the magnetic field produced by human brain is about several tens of f T, and this excellent characteristic makes SQUID widely used in medicine field for measuring magnetic field of human brain, heart, muscle, etc. and providing important information for disease analysis and diagnosis. This method offers the possibility of measuring ultra-weak magnetic fields, but the cost is also very high.
(7) Electromagnetic induction method
The electromagnetic induction method for measuring magnetic fields is a very classical method for measuring magnetic fields. The applied principle is Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, which shows: when the magnetic flux changes in the area S enclosed by the conductor loop l, the loop will generate an induced electromotive force, and an induced current is generated when the loop is closed.
Therefore, the field intensity of the variable magnetic field is measured by the electromagnetic induction method, and the magnetic induction intensity is calculated by measuring the induced electromotive force at the two ends of the induction coil. By using the method, various magnetic fields such as an alternating current magnetic field, a pulse magnetic field, a direct current magnetic field and the like can be measured. When measuring a direct current magnetic field, the purpose of measurement is achieved by moving or rotating the coil to change the magnetic flux in the coil. This method is simple and practical.
The measurement methods of the alternating magnetic field are numerous, the principle of the different measurement methods is briefly described above, and the following table briefly compares these several main methods. Considering the object to be measured as the magnetic field of the space of the wireless power transmission system, the frequency range of the measurement is 100kHz to 3MHz, and the magnetic induction intensity is 10-6~10-4T, the electromagnetic field of a spatial point needs to be measured, so the size of the magnetic sensor needs to be as small as possible. And finally, an electromagnetic induction method is selected to measure the spatial magnetic field by combining the existing conditions of the laboratory.

Electric field measurement
The electric field measurement principle is that electric charges are induced in an electric field by a capacitor, and the electric charges generate a voltage difference
Calculating to obtain potential difference, and then the relation between the potential difference and the electric field
And obtaining an electric field value.
Meanwhile, at present, devices for measuring the temperature rise of a transmitting and receiving coil of a high-power wireless power transmission system and an integral instrument suitable for measuring a thermal field in a wireless power transmission working interval are few, but the devices are necessary and vital for power electronic devices and wireless power transmission systems with increasingly-increased power.
The wireless power transmission technology utilizes electromagnetic fields and electromagnetic waves to realize distribution and propagation of physical space, adopts non-conductive direct contact, and realizes the technology of transmitting power from a power supply side to a load side. Wireless power transmission technology gradually advances into people's lives, so that the biological effect and the technical safety of the technology are concerned more and more. Electromagnetic fields exist between the receiving coil and the transmitting coil of the radio energy transmission system, so that accurate measurement of the size and distribution of the electromagnetic fields in the propagation interval is necessary, which is also significant for the improvement and optimization of the whole system. Meanwhile, as the demand of power electronic products for electric energy power is continuously increased, the power and transmission distance of the wireless electric energy transmission technology are continuously increased. The increase in transmission power results in a continuous increase in coil losses and thus in coil temperature rise. The temperature rise of the coil causes the problems of material aging, insulation damage, performance reduction and the like, so that the temperature measuring device has important significance for the temperature measurement between the transmitting and receiving coil and the transmission area of the wireless power transmission system.
Through the above analysis, the problems and defects of the prior art are as follows: at present, related equipment and devices for magnetic field measurement and dynamic magnetic field measurement exist, but on the basis of the related equipment and devices, the temperature rise of a coil and the thermal characteristics of a wireless energy transmission system are less, or the related equipment and devices are not paid much attention. However, as the wireless power transmission technology is more mature, the transmission power thereof is greater, and the importance of thermal management thereof is more prominent, so it is necessary to develop an instrument device for measuring the magnetic field and the temperature field of the wireless power transmission system.
The difficulty in solving the above problems and defects is: at present, analysis methods for wireless power transmission systems are mainly classified into indirect back-stepping methods and direct analysis methods. The indirect backstepping method mainly comprises the steps of changing key circuit parameters such as a receiving and transmitting distance and resonance parameters in a test system, obtaining input and output power under different parameters, then backstepping the transmission efficiency and mutual inductance coupling coefficient of the system, and verifying the existing theoretical model. The direct analysis method is to directly measure the spatial magnetic field intensity, establish a spatial magnetic field distribution model, and analyze and obtain magnetic field parameters. Compared with an indirect back-stepping method, the direct analysis method based on the space magnetic field measurement and analysis is simpler and more effective.
The significance of solving the problems and the defects is as follows: the invention provides a method and a testing device for measuring a magnetic field and a temperature field between coils in a wireless power transmission system, and simultaneously measures the temperature of a characteristic point of a transmission coil, thereby realizing the precise measurement of space high-frequency magnetic field parameters and temperature parameters. The method has certain reference significance for stable and reliable operation of a high-power wireless electric energy transmission system and a heat management technology.

The construction of the overall measurement hardware system comprises an overall structure design, an electromagnetic field, a magnetic field, a temperature field measurement part, a mechanical structure part and a motion control part.
1. Measuring system overall structure
Based on a magnetic coupling type wireless power transmission system, in order to visually know the distribution conditions of an electric field, a magnetic field and a temperature field among receiving and transmitting resonators and improve the performance of the wireless power transmission system, a set of spatial electric field-magnetic field-thermal field multi-field measurement system of the wireless power transmission system is designed.

And the measurement information of the electromagnetic field probe is stored in an upper computer, and the drawing of the three-dimensional graph of the electric field, the magnetic field and the temperature field intensity is realized through data processing and analysis.
2. System software design
The electric field, the magnetic field and the temperature field are automatically measured through the electromagnetic field probe and the thermal infrared imager, and after the system hardware part is built, corresponding programs need to be written for the system hardware part to complete the functions of the whole system. The system software mainly performs the following functions:

The PC is communicated with the serial port of the magnetic field measuring probe, a data acquisition command is sent to the electromagnetic field probe, the measured data is received, and meanwhile, a command is sent to the thermal imager to start temperature field measurement.

2.3 data processing Module software design
2.3.1 data processing Module function:
according to the requirements of the device system, the relevant data of the electric field and the magnetic field are obtained through the electromagnetic field probe, are transmitted to the upper computer to be processed correspondingly and are drawn into a three-dimensional image, and the part is finished by the upper computer software.
(1) Processing the collected data
(2) Magnetic field synthesis
(3) Drawing smooth three-dimensional surface graph by interpolation algorithm
2.3.2 data processing principle:
a data filtering method
Because the electromagnetic field exists in the space in life, the values of the electric field and the magnetic field fluctuate in a small range, and the measured magnetic field fluctuates in a small range, so that the accidental phenomenon exists when each point collects one value as the data of the electric field and the magnetic field, and the distribution condition of the magnetic field cannot be expressed correctly. Therefore, a plurality of data are required to be collected and processed to obtain the values of the available electric field and the available magnetic field.
According to the specific situation of the system, a median average filtering method is adopted for data filtering. The method is a filtering algorithm combining a median filtering method and an arithmetic mean filtering method, and the principle of the method is to collect N data, remove the largest and the smallest of the N data, and calculate the arithmetic mean of the rest data as the final data. According to the principle, the maximum value and the minimum value are removed mainly to reduce the influence of accidental errors, and the arithmetic mean value is mainly used for random errors, so that the method has a filtering effect on both accidental errors and random errors.
B data interpolation processing
Due to the fact that the LABVIEW has certain limitation on the aspect of a data interpolation algorithm, the MATLAB and the LABVIEW are introduced to realize functions. The MATLAB two-dimensional interpolation algorithm comprises the following steps:
(1) nearest neighbor interpolation: the method uses the step function for interpolation, and has the advantages of high speed, but the obtained interpolation result is not smooth enough.
(2) Linear interpolation method: interpolation mainly utilizes piecewise linear functions, and is fast, but the smoothness at sampling points is poor.
(3) Cubic interpolation: interpolation is mainly performed by using cubic polynomials, and the method has the advantages of good smoothness performance at sampling points and low efficiency.
(4) Spline interpolation method: the interpolation is carried out by utilizing the piecewise cubic polynomial function, and the interpolation result obtained by the method has good smoothness and high speed.
2.3.3 data processing module implementation:
(1) and (5) data filtering processing. According to the data filtering principle applied by the system, the magnetic field strength value of each point is collected for 50 times, a maximum value and a minimum value are removed from 50 obtained data, the rest 8 data are averaged, and the obtained data are used as the magnetic field strength value of the point.
(2) And (4) magnetic field synthesis. According to the analysis, the X, Y, Z three directional magnetic field strengths need to be combined to obtain the total magnetic field.
(3) And (4) interpolating the processed data to generate a three-dimensional graph. The method comprises the steps of performing electromagnetic field synthesis on acquired data to obtain a total electromagnetic field intensity value at each sampling point, performing interpolation processing on the data by using MATLAB in order to obtain smooth three-dimensional curved surface images and visually display the branch conditions of the magnetic field, then transmitting the processed matrix data back to LABVIEW, and generating the smooth three-dimensional curved surface images by using a three-dimensional image display control.
The program inputs X, Y axis position data and magnetic field data which are input in an array form, establishes a matlab node, transmits the data to a matlab script node, performs two-dimensional interpolation in the matlab node by using a matlab two-dimensional interpolation function griddata, and selects four interpolation modes through a conditional structure.
And transmitting the two-dimensional interpolation result from the matlab script node, connecting the two-dimensional interpolation result to the three-dimensional curved surface control, and outputting a smooth three-dimensional curved surface graph.
2.4 System Overall program implementation
After three module programs of magnetic field measurement, motion control and data processing of system software are written respectively, the three module programs are integrated into an integral upper computer program of the system, automatic motion of the guide rail is realized, a magnetic field probe is driven to automatically measure the magnetic field, and finally, data processing is automatically carried out and a smooth three-dimensional curved surface diagram of the intensity distribution of the electromagnetic field is output.
3. Measuring effects
Due to the fact that the space coupling characteristic of the electromagnetic field distributed wireless power transmission system at the central plane of the coupler is expressed, the electromagnetic field at the central plane of the coupler of the wireless power transmission system is selected for measurement.
Due to the limited measuring travel of the mechanical arm, only 1/4 or 1/2 of the whole plane can be tested in some cases, and the rest of the magnetic field is spliced by MATLAB according to the symmetry of the magnetic field.
