Wireless Charging Shock Prevention System and Method

Wireless charging transmitter that prevents charging resumption shock via two-stage dummy load voltage drop

This technology is a shock prevention method and system for wireless charging power transmitters. It utilizes a dummy load switch, consisting of a resistor and a switch connected in series between the V-rail of the power transmission coil and ground. When power supply is interrupted due to overvoltage, it discharges the residual V-rail voltage in two stages, stabilizes it, and then resumes charging.

During magnetic induction wireless charging, transmission power is frequently interrupted and resumed when a device moves out of alignment and then returns. If the residual voltage on the V-rail is applied directly during this process, it can cause an electrical shock to the receiver due to a sudden surge in supply voltage. Furthermore, there has been a lack of consistent methods to control this across different transmitters.

This technology allows the V-rail to naturally drop to a lower limit voltage before connecting it to ground via a dummy load for further discharge. Once the voltage falls below a reference level, the DC-DC buck-boost converter is stopped, and power supply resumes after a voltage reset and stabilization period. Applicable to WPC-standard smartphone wireless charging pads and automotive chargers, it prevents electrical damage to receiving devices through software control alone, regardless of the transmitter type.

Key Features:
  • A dummy load switch configured by connecting a resistor and a switch in series between the V-rail on the power transmission coil and ground
  • An overvoltage cutoff step by the control unit that stops power supply to the receiver when the V-rail voltage exceeds a threshold
  • A step of dropping the V-rail to a lower limit voltage in the first stage during power interruption, then connecting it to ground via the dummy load for a second-stage drop
  • A step of stopping the second-stage drop when the V-rail voltage falls below a predetermined level, halting the DC-DC buck-boost converter, and resuming power supply after a stabilization period
