Detailed Description

To facilitate an understanding of the present application, the present application will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. Preferred embodiments of the present application are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. This application may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete.

As shown in fig. 1 to 3, in an embodiment, a wireless charging device 10 is provided, and the wireless charging device 10 is capable of charging an electronic device 20. The electronic device 20 may be a mobile phone, a tablet, a watch, a computer, or the like. The wireless charging device 10 includes a housing 100 and a stand 200 connected to the housing 100, the stand 200 enabling the housing 100 to stand on its side for convenient charging. It will be appreciated that the bracket 200 is not required. The wireless charging device 10 further includes a transmitting coil 400 and a cradle 300. The transmitting coil 400 is located in the casing 100, part of the structure of the cradle 300 is located in the casing 100, part of the structure protrudes from the casing 100, and the electronic device 20 can be placed on the cradle 300, so that the wireless charging device 10 can charge the electronic device 20.

As shown in fig. 2 and 4, the electronic device 20 includes a receiving coil 21, when the electronic device 20 is placed on the bracket 300, the bracket 300 can drive the electronic device 20 to move, and the transmitting coil 400 can move in the housing 100 until the positions of the receiving coil 21 and the transmitting coil 400 correspond to each other. The bracket 300 drives the electronic device 20 to move and the transmitting coil 400 to move in the housing 100, so that the centers of the transmitting coil 400 and the receiving coil 21 can be automatically overlapped, and the charging efficiency of the wireless charging device 10 is improved.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, in one embodiment, the wireless charging device 10 has a first direction, a second direction, and a third direction that are perpendicular to each other. The first direction is a height or length direction of the wireless charging device 10, and the first direction is arranged along the Y direction; the second direction is a width direction of the wireless charging apparatus 10, and the second direction is arranged along the X direction; the third direction is a thickness direction of the wireless charging apparatus 10, and the third direction is arranged along the Z direction.

In an embodiment, the transmitting coil 400 can move in a first direction, i.e., Y direction, and the carriage 300 can move in a second direction, i.e., X direction, so that the transmitting coil 400 and the receiving coil 21 can coincide on an XY plane, thereby improving the charging efficiency of the wireless charging device 10.

In another embodiment, the first direction and the second direction may not be perpendicular, i.e. an acute angle is formed between the first direction and the second direction. The carriage 300 is moved in the second direction by the transmission coil 400 being moved in the first direction, and the transmission coil 400 and the reception coil 21 can be also made to coincide at a certain position in the XY plane, so that the charging efficiency of the wireless charging device 10 can be improved. The present application will be described in detail with reference to the first direction and the second direction being perpendicular.

As shown in fig. 1 and 3, in an embodiment, the housing 100 has a disc-shaped structure, that is, the housing 100 has a symmetrical structure with respect to a first direction, that is, a Y direction, such that the housing 100 has a first central axis 11, and the first central axis 11 is disposed along the first direction, that is, the Y direction, and is located at a middle position of a second direction, that is, an X direction, of the housing 100. The outer case 100 includes a first case 110 and a second case 120. The first case 110 covers the second case 120 such that a receiving space is formed inside the outer case 100. The transmitting coil 400 is located in the accommodating space, and the transmitting coil 400 is equidistant from both sides of the housing 100 in the second direction, i.e., the X direction, i.e., the transmitting coil 400 is symmetrically disposed with respect to the first central axis 11. The bracket 300 is disposed in the second direction, i.e., the X direction, and a part of the structure of the bracket 300 is located in the receiving space. The through groove 111 is formed in the first shell 110, a part of the structure of the bracket 300 penetrates through the through groove 111 and protrudes out of the first shell 110, and a part of the bracket 300 protruding out of the housing 100 forms a platform-shaped structure, which can support the electronic device 20, so that the electronic device 20 stands on the bracket 300 and leans against the housing 100, and the electronic device 20 can stand on the wireless charging device 10.

In another embodiment, the housing 100 may have a square structure or a polygonal structure, which is not particularly limited herein.

As shown in fig. 3 and 4, in one embodiment, the wireless charging device 10 includes a first motion mechanism 500. The first motion mechanism 500 can drive the transmitting coil 400 to move in a first direction, i.e., the Y direction. When the wireless charging device 10 charges the electronic devices 20 with different heights, the height of the transmitting coil 400 can be adjusted by changing the position of the transmitting coil 400 in the first direction, namely the Y direction, so that the transmitting coil 400 can correspond to the receiving coils 21 of the electronic devices 20 with different heights, and the electronic devices 20 with different heights can be efficiently charged. That is, the first motion mechanism 500 drives the transmitting coil 400 to move in the Y direction, so that the transmitting coil 400 and the receiving coil 21 correspond to each other in the first direction, that is, the Y direction, that is, the heights of the two are the same.

In one embodiment, the electronic device 20 has a symmetrical circular or square or polygonal structure, the electronic device 20 has a second central axis 22, and the electronic device 20 has a symmetrical structure with respect to the second central axis 22. The receiver coil 21 is equidistant from the opposite sides of the electronic device 20, i.e. the second central axis 22 passes through the center of the receiver coil 21. It is understood that the second central axis 22 may extend along the length direction of the electronic device 20, and may also extend along the width direction of the electronic device 20, which is not limited in this respect. It can be understood that, when the electronic device 20 is placed on the bracket 300 in the side-standing state of the wireless charging device 10, and the length of the electronic device 20 is set along the first direction, the length of the electronic device 20 is the height of the electronic device 20, and the second middle axis 22 is set along the length direction of the electronic device 20, i.e. the first direction; when the width of the electronic device 20 is set along the first direction, the width of the electronic device 20 is the height of the electronic device 20, and the second central axis 22 is set along the width of the electronic device 20, i.e., the first direction. The present application will be described in detail with an example in which the length of the electronic device 20 is along the first direction when the electronic device 20 is placed on the bracket 300.

The wireless charging apparatus 10 includes a second movement mechanism 800, and the cradle 300 is mounted to the second movement mechanism 800. The second motion mechanism 800 can drive the carriage 300 to move in the second direction, i.e., the X direction. When the electronic device 20 is placed in the cradle 300, the electronic device 20 is offset with respect to the housing 100 in the second direction, i.e., the X direction, i.e., the second central axis 22 of the electronic device 20 does not correspond to the first central axis 11 of the wireless charging device 10, i.e., there is a gap between the second central axis 22 and the first central axis 11. The wireless charging device 10 can control the cradle 300 to move in the second direction, i.e., the X direction, such that the receiving coil 21 corresponds to the transmitting coil 400 in the second direction, i.e., the X direction, i.e., a line connecting the center of the receiving coil 21 and the center of the transmitting coil 400 is perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the second direction, or the centers of both coincide.

As shown in fig. 3 and 5, in one embodiment, the first movement mechanism 500 includes a first driver 510 and a first worm 520 disposed in a first direction, i.e., the Y direction. The number of the first worms 520 is 2. The wireless charging device 10 further includes a first bearing part 530, and the transmitting coil 400 is fixed to the first bearing part 530. The 2 first worms 520 are parallel to each other and all pass through the first bearing part 530, so that the first worms 520 are engaged with the first bearing part 530. The first driving member 510 can drive the first worm 520 to rotate forward or backward, so that the first bearing part 530 and the transmitting coil 400 approach or depart from the second moving mechanism 800 along the first direction, i.e., the Y direction. In one embodiment, when the first driving member 510 drives the first worm 520 to rotate forward, the first supporting portion 530 approaches the second moving mechanism 800 along the first direction, i.e., the Y direction, and when the first driving member 510 drives the first worm 520 to rotate backward, the first supporting portion 530 is away from the second moving mechanism 800 along the first direction, i.e., the Y direction. In another embodiment, the first worm 520 rotates forward, the first bearing part 530 can be far away from the second moving mechanism 800, and the first worm 520 rotates backward, and the first bearing part 530 is close to the second moving mechanism 800. In one embodiment, the first driving member 510 is a micro motor.

In another embodiment, the number of the first worms 520 may also be 1, and the wireless charging device 10 further includes a first limiting portion (not shown). The first position-limiting part may be a rail, and a part of the first bearing part 530 is located in the rail, so that the first bearing part 530 can slide along the first direction, i.e., the Y direction, and the first bearing part 530 is prevented from rotating along with the rotation of the first worm 520. So that the rotation of the first worm 520 can be converted into the movement of the first bearing part 530 in the first direction, i.e., the Y direction. In other embodiments, the first position-limiting portion may also have other structures besides the track, which is not listed here.

In yet another embodiment, the number of the first worms 520 may also be N, N is not less than 2, and the N first worms 520 are parallel to each other and all pass through the first bearing part 530. The present application will be described in detail with an example in which the number of the first worms 520 is 2.

As shown in fig. 3, 5 and 6, in one embodiment, the second movement mechanism 800 includes a second driver 810 and a second worm 820 disposed in a second direction, i.e., the X direction. The number of the second worms 820 is 2. The bracket 300 includes a second bearing part 310, and the second bearing part 310 is located in the receiving space. It is understood that the bracket 300 is a one-piece structure, and in another embodiment, the bracket 300 may be a structure combined by a mechanical method or an adhesive method. The 2 second worms 820 are parallel to each other and all pass through the second bearing part 310 such that the second worms 820 are engaged with the second bearing part 310. The second driving member 810 can drive the second worm 820 to rotate forward or backward, so that the bracket 300 moves in the second direction, i.e., the X direction. In one embodiment, the second driving member 810 drives the second worm 820 to rotate forward, so that the bracket 300 moves in the second direction, i.e., the X direction, and the second driving member 810 drives the second worm 820 to rotate backward, so that the bracket 300 moves in the opposite direction. In one embodiment, the first driving member 510 is a micro motor.

In another embodiment, the number of the second worms 820 may also be 1, and the wireless charging device 10 further includes a second limiting portion (not shown). The second position-limiting portion may be a rail, and a part of the structure of the second bearing portion 310 is located in the rail, so that the second bearing portion 310 can slide along the second direction, i.e., the X direction, and the second bearing portion 310 is prevented from rotating along with the rotation of the second worm 820. So that the rotation of the second worm 820 can be converted into the movement of the second bearing part 310 in the second direction, i.e. the X direction, to adjust the position of the second middle axle 22, so that the second middle axle 22 is coincident or approximately coincident with the first middle axle 11. In other embodiments, the second position-limiting portion may also have other structures besides the track, which is not listed here.

In another embodiment, the number of the second worms 820 may also be N, N is not less than 2, and the N second worms 820 are parallel to each other and all pass through the second bearing portion 310.

The circuit board 600 is fixed in the housing 100, and specifically, may be fixed to an inner surface of the first shell 110, and may also be fixed to an inner surface of the second shell 120, which is not particularly limited herein. The circuit board 600 may be a PCB or an FPC, and is not limited herein. The transmitting coil 400, the first driving member 510 and the second driving member 810 are electrically connected to the circuit board 600. The transmitting coil 400 is electrically connected to the circuit board 600 such that the circuit board 600 can control the operation of the transmitting coil 400. The first driving member 510 is electrically connected to the circuit board 600, and the circuit board 600 can control the first driving member 510 to work, so as to control the first worm 520 to rotate forward or backward, and further control the transmitting coil 400 to approach or depart from the second moving mechanism 800 in the first direction, i.e., the Y direction. The second driving member 810 is electrically connected to the circuit board 600, and the circuit board 600 can control the second driving member 810 to work, so as to control the second worm 820 to rotate forward or backward, and further control the bracket 300 to move in the second direction, i.e., the X direction, so as to adjust the position of the second central axis 22, so that the second central axis 22 coincides or substantially coincides with the first central axis 11, and the electronic device 20 is located at the middle position of the housing 100 in the second direction, i.e., the X direction.

When the electronic device 20 is placed on the bracket 300, a part of the sensing element 700 is triggered by receiving the light reflected by the electronic device 20, and sends out a command and transmits a command signal to the circuit board 600. The circuit board 600 controls the second driving element 810 to work, so that the bracket 300 performs a small-distance initial displacement, and the sensing element 700 can calculate the boundary of the electronic device 20 in the second direction, i.e., the X direction, according to the moving distance of the triggering state of each sensing unit in the movement process of the bracket 300, and further calculate the position of the second central axis 22 of the electronic device 20. Then, the sensing element 700 sends a command to the circuit board 600 again, and the circuit board 600 controls the second driving member 810 to operate, so that the bracket 300 moves in the second direction, i.e. the X direction, so that the second central axis 22 is aligned with the first central axis 11, i.e. the second central axis 22 is coincident with or approximately coincident with the first central axis 11, and the alignment of the transmitting coil 400 and the receiving coil 21 in the second direction, i.e. the X direction, is achieved, i.e. the connecting line of the centers of the transmitting coil 400 and the receiving coil 21 is perpendicular or approximately perpendicular to the second direction, i.e. the X direction, or the centers of the two are coincident.

In another embodiment, the second driving member 810 can be directly electrically connected to the sensing element 700, so that the sensing element 700 can directly control the operation of the second driving member 810.

In an embodiment, the first shell 110 is made of glass, and a coating (not shown) is disposed on an inner surface or an outer surface of the first shell 110, so as to prevent the first shell 110 from being exposed to the outside due to the transparent structure of the internal components of the wireless charging device 10, and the coating can be designed according to actual requirements, so as to improve the appearance performance of the wireless charging device 10. The sensing element 700 may be a proximity sensor capable of determining whether the electronic device 20 is placed on the bracket 300 by emitting and receiving the reflected light, determining the second middle axis 22 of the electronic device 20, and controlling the bracket 300 to move so that the second middle axis 22 is aligned with the first middle axis 11.

In one embodiment, the number of the sensing elements 700 is 4-8, and the larger the number of the sensing elements 700, the smaller the displacement of the bracket 300, and the less time the sensing elements 700 need to identify and calculate the position of the second central axis 22. I.e. a larger number of sensing elements 700, the position of the second bottom bracket 22 can be identified faster. The sensing element 700 may be an infrared sensing element 700, and may also be other types of sensing elements 700, such as a photoelectric sensing element 700, which is not limited herein.

As illustrated in fig. 7, in one embodiment, a charging method of the wireless charging device 10 is provided. When the electronic device 20 is placed on the cradle 300, the circuit board 600 controls the first driving member 510 to operate, so that the transmitting coil 400 moves in the first direction, i.e., the Y direction. The wireless charging device 10 determines the position where the distance between the transmission coil 400 and the reception coil 21 is the smallest according to the strength of the magnetic field between the transmission coil 400 and the reception coil 21, and achieves alignment of the positions of the transmission coil 400 and the reception coil 21 in the first direction, i.e., the Y direction, such that the heights of the transmission coil 400 and the reception coil 21 are the same or substantially the same.

The plurality of sensing elements 700 are triggered by emitting light and receiving light reflected back from the electronic device 20, and issue commands and transmit command signals to the circuit board 600. The circuit board 600 controls the second driving element 810 to work, so that the bracket 300 performs a small-distance initial displacement, and the sensing element 700 can calculate the boundary of the electronic device 20 in the second direction, i.e., the X direction, according to the moving distance of the triggering state of each sensing unit in the movement process of the bracket 300, and further calculate the position of the second central axis 22 of the electronic device 20. Then, the sensing element 700 sends out a command to the circuit board 600 again, and the circuit board 600 controls the second driving member 810 to operate, so that the bracket 300 moves in the second direction, i.e. the X direction, so that the second central axis 22 corresponds to the first central axis 11, i.e. the second central axis 22 and the first central axis 11 coincide or substantially coincide, and the correspondence between the transmitting coil 400 and the receiving coil 21 in the second direction, i.e. the X direction, is realized, i.e. the connecting line of the centers of the transmitting coil 400 and the receiving coil 21 is perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the second direction, i.e. the X direction, or the centers of the transmitting coil 400 and the receiving coil 21 coincide.

It is understood that after the electronic device 20 is placed on the cradle 300, the transmitting coil 400 and the receiving coil 21 may be aligned in the first direction first, that is, the transmitting coil 400 is moved in the first direction, that is, the Y direction, by the first moving mechanism 500, so that the heights of the transmitting coil 400 and the receiving coil 21 are the same. Then, the alignment of the transmitting coil 400 and the receiving coil 21 in the second direction is achieved, that is, the second motion mechanism 800 moves the bracket 300 so that the second central axis 22 and the first central axis 11 coincide or substantially coincide, and then the transmitting coil 400 and the receiving coil 21 are center-coincident. In another embodiment, after the electronic device 20 is placed on the cradle 300, the transmitting coil 400 and the receiving coil 21 may first achieve alignment in the second direction, that is, the cradle 300 is moved by the second motion mechanism 800, so that the second central axis 22 and the first central axis 11 are approximately coincident, so that the transmitting coil 400 and the receiving coil 21 are corresponding in the second direction, that is, the X direction, and then the line connecting the centers of the transmitting coil 400 and the receiving coil 21 is approximately perpendicular to the second direction. Then, the alignment of the transmitting coil 400 and the receiving coil 21 in the first direction is achieved, that is, the transmitting coil 400 is moved in the first direction, that is, the Y direction by the first motion mechanism 500, so that the heights of the transmitting coil 400 and the receiving coil 21 are the same.

In an embodiment, the support 200 can rotate relative to the housing 100, and after the transmitting coil 400 and the receiving coil 21 are aligned, the circuit board 600 can control the support 200 to automatically rotate, so that the housing 100 is attached to the support 200, and the housing 100 is switched from the side-standing state to the lying state. In another embodiment, the cradle 200 may be in a form of a motorized lift, and after the transmitter coil 400 and the receiver coil 21 are aligned, the circuit board 600 controls the cradle 200 to automatically retract, so that the wireless charging device 10 is switched from a side standing state to a lying state.

The wireless charging device 10 of the present application, by providing the first movement mechanism 500, the second movement mechanism 800 and the induction element 700, after the electronic device 20 is placed on the bracket 300, the first movement mechanism 500 can drive the transmitting coil 400 to move in the first direction, i.e. the Y direction, so that the heights of the transmitting coil 400 and the receiving coil 21 of the electronic device 20 are substantially the same, and the alignment of the transmitting coil 400 and the receiving coil 21 in the first direction is realized. The inductive element 700 is capable of calculating the boundary of the electronic device 20 to obtain the position of the second central axis 22, and controlling the second motion mechanism 800 to operate, so as to drive the bracket 300 to move along the second direction, i.e. the X direction, such that the second central axis 22 substantially coincides with the first central axis 11 of the wireless charging device 10, such that the transmitting coil 400 and the receiving coil 21 are aligned in the second direction, so as to align the transmitting coil 400 and the receiving coil 21 on the XY plane, i.e. the transmitting coil 400 and the receiving coil 21 substantially coincide on the XY plane, so as to achieve the automatic alignment of the transmitting coil 400 and the receiving coil 21, thereby being capable of improving the charging efficiency of the wireless charging device 10.
