Abstract: In order to eliminate the potential safety hazard that arises when metal foreign objects intervene in the wireless charging area of electric vehicles, this paper proposes that a metal foreign object detection method be applied to the wireless charging system of electric vehicles based on the optimal design of the array detection coil. Firstly, the equivalent circuit model of the metal foreign object detection system is established, then the principle of the foreign object detection system is analyzed, and the scale factor β is introduced as the optimization index of the detection coil. Secondly, the change of the scale factor β with the circuit parameters is analyzed and the appropriate circuit parameters are compared and selected. Thirdly, on the basis of the planar square spiral coil, Ansys Maxwell finite element simulation software is used to optimize its structural parameters, combination mode, and resonant circuit, as well as design the anti-series and anti-parallel enhanced detection coil sets with the decoupling and elimination of detection blind spots. Finally, the feasibility of the proposed detection method of metal foreign objects is verified by experiments. The results show that the two array detection coil sets can detect small-sized common metal foreign objects such as paper clips and the proposed double-layer reinforced structure can significantly improve the detection sensitivity of the system.
