  近几年,随着电动汽车保有量的上升,对充电桩的需求也在逐年增加。传统充电桩控制板一般采用RS-485或CAN总线的通讯方式,采用这种方式的充电桩在投放过程中需要大量布线,大大增加了建设成本与维护成本。为此推出了。

  在设计无线充电桩控制板解决方案时,考虑到充电桩的管理系统是采用集中管理的方式,即一个主站控制多台充电桩的管理模块。在无线组网上只需要一主多从的网络控制就可以了,所以无线充电桩控制方案中选择了目前在国内使用最为广泛的SI4438 SUB-G无线收发芯片。SI4438是Silicon Labs公司针对中国市场推出的一款SUB-G无线收发芯片。SI4438芯片内部集成PA,发射功率可达20dBm,接收灵敏度可达-124dBm,通讯距离可以达到2公里以上。可以轻松地实现一主多从的网络模式。

3.3 Radio Board Block Description

3.3.1 Wireless MCU

The BRD4151A EFR32 Mighty Gecko Radio Board incorporates an EFR32MG1P232F256GM48 Wireless System on Chip featuring32-bit Cortex-M4 with FPU core, 256 kB of flash memory and 32 kB of RAM and a 2.4 GHz band transceiver with output power up to19.5 dBm. For additional information on the EFR32MG1P232F256GM48, refer to the EFR32MG1 Data Sheet.

3.3.2 LF Crystal Oscillator (LFXO)

The BRD4151A Radio Board has a 32.768 kHz crystal mounted.

3.3.3 HF Crystal Oscillator (HFXO)

The BRD4151A Radio Board has a 38.4 MHz crystal mounted.

3.3.4 Matching Network for 2.4 GHz

The BRD4151A Radio Board incorporates a 2.4 GHz matching network which connects the 2.4 GHz TRX pin of the EFR32MG1 to the one on-board printed Inverted-F antenna. The component values were optimized for the 2.4 GHz band RF performace and current consumptionwith 19.5 dBm output power.

For detailed description of the matching network, see Chapter 4.2.1 Description of the 2.4 GHz RF Matching.

3.3.5 Inverted-F Antenna

The BRD4151A Radio Board includes a printed Inverted-F antenna (IFA) tuned to have close to 50 Ohm impedance at the 2.4 GHzband.

For detailed description of the antenna see Chapter 4.5 Inverted-F Antenna.

3.3.6 UFL Connector

To be able to perform conducted measurements, Silicon Labs added an UFL connector to the Radio Board. The connector allows anexternal 50 Ohm cable or antenna to be connected during design verification or testing.Note: By default the output of the matching network is connected to the printed Inverted-F antenna by a series component. It can beconnected to the UFL connector as well through a series 0 Ohm resistor which is not mounted by default. For conducted measurementsthrough the UFL connector the series component to the antenna should be removed and the 0 Ohm resistor should be mounted (seeChapter 4.2 Schematic of the RF Matching Network for further details).

3.3.7 Radio Board Connectors

Two dual-row, 0.05” pitch polarized connectors make up the EFR32MG Radio Board interface to the Wireless Starter Kit Mainboard.

For more information on the pin mapping between the EFR32MG1P232F256GM48 and the Radio Board Connector, refer to Chapter 2.2 Radio Board Connector Pin Associations.

  转换效率高达99%的平板变压器

  在推荐的方案中,另外一个亮点就是在变压器的选择。传统的变压器存在体积大、转换效率低的问题,导致很难将产品的体积做小。Standex-Meder公司的PG20平板变压器,体积小,低匝数低损耗,低漏感,转换效率高达99%。而且这是一款可按需定制的产品,可以满足不同设计需求。

  电源系统的无线收发和短路保护设计

  在电源系统的设计上,考虑到无线收发的瞬间需要较大的电流,所以选择Ricoh公司的R1245x/R1240x系列的DC/DC转换器。这一系列的DC/DC可支持1A以上的输出电流,最大可支持14A的电流,完全可以满足控制板的供电需求。同时这一系列的DC/DC满足AEC-Q100标准,有DFN/SOT/HSOP等多种封装可供选择。

  电源的保护采用Littelfuse公司的可自恢复型的PTC,可保证电路板在接错线等瞬时短路的保护。这款PTC提供有贴片,插件等形式,方便生产、加工。

  充电桩的电路控制设计

  控制板的主控MCU我们推荐Renesas公司的RZ/A1系列的32位MCU。这款MCU采用CORTEX-A9内核,工作主频可达400MHz,可运行UCOS等操作系统,可简化充电桩的设计。芯片内集成有10MB容量的RAM,并支持2D图像采集和处理。同时芯片内集成有16路的PWM,非常适合充电电路的控制。电量计量的电流传感器,我们推荐采用Melexis公司的MLX91210传感器。这款电流传感器体积小,只有SO8封装,可以节省充电桩的PCB设计空间。

  充电桩其功能类似于加油站里面的加油机,可以固定在地面或墙壁,安装于公共建筑(公共楼宇、商场、公共停车场等)和居民小区停车场或充电站内,可以根据不同的电压等级为各种型号的电动汽车充电。充电桩的输入端与交流电网直接连接,输出端都装有充电插头用于为电动汽车充电。充电桩一般提供常规充电和快速充电两种充电方式,人们可以使用特定的充电卡在充电桩提供的人机交互操作界面上刷卡使用,进行相应的充电方式、充电时间、费用数据打印等操作,充电桩显示屏能显示充电量、费用、充电时间等数据。

  充电桩(栓)能实现计时、计电度、计金额充电,可以作为市民购电终端。同时为提高公共充电桩(栓)的效率和实用性,今后将陆续增加一桩(栓)多充和为电动自行车充电的功能。

  作为电网配用电侧的电动汽车充电桩(栓),其结构的特殊性决定了自动化通信系统的特点是被测点多且分散、覆盖面广、通信距离短。并且随着城市的发展,网络拓扑要求具有灵活性和扩展性的结构,因此,电动汽车充电桩(栓)通信方式的选择应考虑如下问题:

  (1) 通信的可靠性——通信系统要长期经受恶劣环境和较强的电磁干扰或噪音干扰的考验,并保持通信的畅通。

  (2) 建设费用——在满足可靠性的前提下,综合考虑建设费用及长期使用和维护的费用。

  (3) 双向通信——不仅能实现信息量的上传,还要实现控制量的下达。

  (4) 多业务的数据传输速率——随着以后终端业务量的不断增长,主站到子站、子站到终端之间通信对实现多业务的数据传输速率要求越来越高。

  (5) 通信的灵活性和可扩展性——由于充电桩(栓)具有控制点面多、面广和分散的特点,要求采用标准的通信协议,随着“ALL IP”网络技术趋势的发展以及电力运营业务的不断增长,需要考虑基于IP的业务承载,同时要求便于安装施工、调试、运行、维护。
