Wireless charging system having central and peripheral sensors
A wireless charging system for charging a secondary battery, the wireless charging system including: a central sensor configured to sense a swelling of the secondary battery; a peripheral sensor on a peripheral portion of the central sensor and configured to sense the swelling of the secondary battery; and a sensitivity ratio measurement component configured to measure a ratio of sensitivity of the peripheral sensor to sensitivity of the central sensor, wherein the sensitivity ratio measurement component is configured to stop a charging progress in response to the measured ratio of sensitivity of the peripheral sensor to sensitivity of the central sensor being greater than a preset ratio.
1 . A wireless charging system for charging a secondary battery, the wireless charging system comprising:
a charging coil on a surface of the secondary battery;
a central sensor at a central portion of the charging coil and configured to sense a swelling of the secondary battery;
a peripheral sensor on a peripheral portion of the charging coil and configured to sense the swelling of the secondary battery; and
a sensitivity ratio measurement component configured to measure a ratio of sensitivity of the peripheral sensor to sensitivity of the central sensor,
wherein the sensitivity ratio measurement component is configured to stop a charging progress in response to the measured ratio of sensitivity of the peripheral sensor to sensitivity of the central sensor being greater than a preset ratio.
2 . The wireless charging system of claim 1 , further comprising a sensitivity improver on at least one of the central sensor or the peripheral sensor.
3 . The wireless charging system of claim 1 , wherein the peripheral sensor is on each of four corners of a wireless charging device.
4 . The wireless charging system of claim 1 , further comprising a sensitivity change rate measurement component configured to measure a sensitivity change rate of each of the central sensor and the peripheral sensor,
wherein the sensitivity ratio measurement component is configured to stop a charging progress in response to the measured sensitivity change rate of each of the central sensor and the peripheral sensor compared to starting rates being greater than a preset value.
5 . The wireless charging system of claim 1 , further comprising a temperature change measurement component configured to detect a temperature change of each of the central sensor and the peripheral sensor,
wherein the temperature change measurement component is configured to stop a charging progress in response to a measured temperature change value of each of the central sensor and the peripheral sensor being greater than a preset value.
6 . The wireless charging system of claim 1 , further comprising an alarm component configured to operate an alarm in response to a swelling sensing value of each of the central sensor and the peripheral sensor exceeding a preset value.
