Description

Charging stand and application thereof

Technical Field

The invention relates to the field of charging, in particular to a charging seat and application thereof.

Background

Light fixtures are one of the tools that are often used in everyday life, especially in dark environments. The light fixture can be placed on the ground or on a table top for use, and can also be hung for use, and in some use environments, the portable light fixture needs to be used on a wall to radiate light from top to bottom, for example, when the light fixture is used in a garage or a maintenance workshop.

In consideration of portability of the lamp, when the lamp is used on a wall, the power is supplied by a charging baby, and the charging baby and the lamp can be used on the wall together. The lamps and lanterns are usually provided with magnet, and the treasured that charges is also provided with magnet, and through such a way, on the one hand the lamps and lanterns can be inhaled in the treasured that charges and obtain the electric energy, on the other hand the treasured that charges can be inhaled in the wall of iron through magnet.

The electric energy is transmitted between the lamp and the charging pal in a wireless charging mode, except for the wireless lamp, other wireless charging equipment is provided, for example, a mobile phone is provided, the mobile phone is provided with a special wireless charging pal, and the charging pal suitable for the lamp cannot be suitable for charging the mobile phone.

One reason for this is that the lamp-type power bank positions the lamp by magnetic attraction, so that the lamp can be placed horizontally for charging and also can be charged vertically, however, for the mobile phone, although the lamp can be placed in the power bank in a horizontal state to be powered, the magnet arranged in the lamp-type power bank may affect the electronic components in the mobile phone.

In addition, when the lamp type power bank is used on the wall, the electronic devices such as the mobile phone cannot be used on the wall together with the lamp type power bank, because the electronic devices such as the mobile phone cannot be provided with the magnet capable of being magnetically attracted to the lamp type power bank.

In other words, the current application scenarios of the lamp type charger baby are very limited, and the lamp type charger baby is not portable in practical use. When the user uses portable lamps and lanterns operation in garage or outdoor environment, probably need carry two at least treasureds that charge, one is the lamps and lanterns power supply, and another gives the cell-phone power supply.

Referring to fig. 1 to 2D, a charging cradle 1 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is illustrated, wherein the charging cradle 1 is adapted to power a power-requiring device 2000, and is capable of not only powering a lamp 2000A, but also powering an electronic device 2000B such as a mobile phone. In other words, the power demand device 2000 may be, but is not limited to, the light fixture 2000A and the electronic device 2000B such as the mobile phone.

The charging cradle 1 wirelessly supplies power to the lamp 2000A or the electronic device 2000B such as the mobile phone. It should be noted that the charging dock 1 can be used not only horizontally, but also suspended, for example, vertically, and the lamp 2000A or the electronic device 2000B such as the mobile phone can still be conducted with the charging dock 1.

In detail, the charging dock 1 includes a charging dock body 10, a transmitting coil 20 and at least one magnetic attraction positioning element 31, wherein the charging dock body 10 has a power supply surface 101 and a mounting surface 102 corresponding to the power supply surface 101, wherein the power supply surface 101 is suitable for being placed with the power-requiring device 2000, such as the lamp 2000A or the electronic device 2000B such as the mobile phone, and the mounting surface 102 is suitable for being mounted on a wall or other locations.

The transmitting coil 20 and the magnetic attraction positioning element 31 are respectively installed on the charging base body 10, wherein the charging base body 10 includes a charging base shell 11 and an electricity storage unit 12, wherein the electricity storage unit 12 is installed on the charging base shell 11, the charging base 1 can be formed with a charging base containing cavity, and the electricity storage unit 12 is contained in the charging base containing cavity of the charging base 1. The transmission coil 20 is provided to the charging-stand casing 11, and the transmission coil 20 is conductively connected to the power storage unit 12.

The power demand device 2000 is provided with a receiving coil which, by cooperation between the transmitting coil 20 and the receiving coil, allows electrical energy to be transferred from the electrical storage unit 12 to the power demand device 2000.

The magnetic attraction positioning element 31 is disposed on the charging stand body 10 and can keep a predetermined distance from the transmitting coil 20, so that the magnetic field of the magnetic attraction positioning element 31 can not cause excessive interference to the operations of the transmitting coil 20 and the receiving coil.

The power demand device 2000 is provided with a magnetic attraction matching element, and through the magnetic attraction of the magnetic attraction positioning element 31 and the magnetic attraction matching element, the power demand device 2000 can be positioned on the power supply surface 101 of the charging stand body 10 and aligned with the sending coil 20. The number of the magnetic positioning pieces 31 can be two, three or more. The number of the magnetic attraction matching parts can also be two, three or more.

The charging stand 1 may further include at least one mounting member 32, wherein the mounting member 32 is disposed on the charging stand body 10 and located on a side of the mounting surface 102, so that when the charging stand 1 is mounted on a wall or other locations, the charging stand 1 may be mounted to hang for use through the mounting member 32. In this embodiment, the mounting member 32 is implemented as a magnetic structure, and is fixed to a wall or other position with a certain height by the magnetic function. It is understood that the mounting member 32 may be other structures, such as a socket, which can be inserted into the position of the fan blade of the air outlet of the vehicle.

The charging seat 1 has an electronic device use state and a lamp use state, in the electronic device use state, the charging seat 1 adaptively changes the magnetic field strength at the position of the power supply surface 101 so that the electronic device 2000B such as a mobile phone is placed on the power supply surface 101 of the charging seat body 10 without interference and can normally work when charging, in the lamp use state, the charging seat 1 magnetically attracts the lamp 2000A to a preset position by the magnetic attraction positioning member 31, so that the sending coil 20 is aligned to the receiving coil of the lamp 2000A.

Further, the charging dock 1 includes a magnetic attraction unit 30, when the mounting member 32 is a magnetic attraction structure, the magnetic attraction unit 30 includes the magnetic attraction positioning member 31 and the mounting member 32, and the magnetic attraction positioning member 31 and the mounting member 32 can be located on two opposite sides.

In the use state of the electronic device, the magnetic field strength of the magnetic attraction positioning element 31 and/or the mounting element 32 of the magnetic attraction unit 30 can be reduced, for example, weakened or even eliminated. In detail, the magnetic attraction function of the magnetic attraction positioning element 31 of the magnetic attraction unit 30 at the position of the power supply surface 101 can be reduced, or the magnetic attraction function of the mounting element 32 of the magnetic attraction unit 30 at the position of the power supply surface 101 can be reduced, or the magnetic attraction positioning element 31 and the magnetic attraction function of the mounting element 32 of the magnetic attraction unit 30 at the position of the power supply surface 101 can be simultaneously reduced.

The charging dock 1 has four working states, which can be respectively shown in fig. 2A to fig. 2D, the first working state is to charge the lamp 2000A, the magnetic attraction positioning element 31 of the magnetic attraction unit 30 works normally, the lamp 2000A is positioned on the charging dock 1 through the magnetic attraction positioning element 31 and supported on the power supply surface 101 of the charging dock body 10, for example, the lamp 2000A is horizontally placed and charged. In the second operating state, the lamp 2000A is charged, and the lamp 2000A is magnetically attracted to the charging seat 1 through the magnetic attraction positioning element 31, the magnetic attraction action of the magnetic attraction positioning element 31 and the magnetic attraction mating element of the lamp 2000A needs to overcome the gravity action of the lamp 2000A, for example, the lamp 2000A is charged vertically. The third operating state is to charge the electronic device 2000B such as a mobile phone, and the electronic device 2000B such as a mobile phone is supported on the charging stand 1 through the power supply plane 101 and aligned with the transmitting coil 20, for example, the electronic device 2000B such as a mobile phone is horizontally placed for charging. It is understood that when the power supply surface 101 of the charging cradle 1 is slightly inclined to the horizontal, the electronic device 2000B such as a cellular phone can still maintain the alignment with the transmission coil 20 by virtue of the friction between the electronic device 2000B such as a cellular phone and the power supply surface 101 of the charging cradle body 10. The fourth operation state is also to charge the electronic device 2000B such as the mobile phone, the electronic device 2000B such as the mobile phone is held outside the power supply surface 101 of the charging-stand body 10 through a holding space 100 of the charging stand 1 and aligned with the transmitting coil 20, for example, when the electronic device 2000B such as the mobile phone is placed in the vertical position.

In other words, when the charging dock 1 is in the electronic device usage state, the charging dock 1 may form the holding space 100 to ensure the alignment between the electronic device 2000B such as the mobile phone and the transmitting coil 20, and in other examples of the charging dock 1, the holding function of the power supply surface 101 of the charging dock body 10 may also be used to hold the electronic device 2000B such as the mobile phone and ensure the alignment between the electronic device 2000B such as the mobile phone and the transmitting coil 20. When the charging base 1 is in the lamp using state, the charging base 1 positions the lamp 2000A on the charging base 1 by means of the magnetic attraction positioning element 31 and the magnetic attraction action of the magnetic attraction matching element of the lamp 2000A.

In other words, when the charging dock 1 is in one cradle use state, the charging dock 1 may supply power to the electronic device 2000B such as the mobile phone, or may select to supply power to the lamp 2000A, and when the charging dock 1 supplies power to the electronic device 2000B such as the mobile phone, the magnetic field intensity at the position of the power supply surface 101 of the charging dock body 10 may be reduced. When the charging dock 1 is in a suspended state, the charging dock 1 can utilize the magnetic attraction between the lamp 2000A and the charging dock 1 to hold the lamp 2000A on the power supply surface 101 of the charging dock body 10 for power transmission, and the charging dock 1 can form the holding space 100 to supply power to the electronic device 2000B such as the mobile phone. In other words, the charging dock 1 has the cradle use state in which the charging dock 1 can be selected to supply power to the lamp 2000A and the electronic device 2000B such as a mobile phone, and the cradle use state in which the charging dock 1 can be selected to supply power to the lamp 2000A and the electronic device 2000B such as a mobile phone.

Further, with continued reference to fig. 1, the charging dock 1 includes a holding assembly 40, wherein the holding assembly 40 includes a holding control assembly 41 and a holding member 42, wherein the holding member 42 and the power supply surface 101 of the charging dock body 10 can be formed in the holding space 100.

The holding member 42 is controllably connected to the holding control assembly 41, wherein the holding control assembly 41 is an electric control element, and the holding control assembly 41 comprises a holding control member 411 and a holding control motor 412, wherein the holding member 42 is drivable to be movably connected to the holding control motor 412, and the holding control motor 412 is controllably connected to the holding control member 411.

The holder 42 has an open state in which at least a portion of the holder 42 and the power supply surface 101 form the holding space 100, and a closed state in which the holder 42 is attached to the charging base body 10 so that the charging base body 10 and the holder 42 can provide a flat surface for placing the electronic device 2000B such as the mobile phone or the lamp 2000A.

In the present embodiment, the holding member 42 is movably provided so that the holding member 42 can be switched between the open state and the closed state.

The holding control motor 412 of the holding control assembly 41 is capable of driving the holding member 42 to move to switch between the open state and the closed state.

Further, the magnetic attraction unit 30 mainly includes three ways of reducing the magnetic field at the position of the power supply surface 101 of the charging stand body 10, one way of reducing the magnetic field strength of the magnetic attraction positioning member 31, one way of reducing the magnetic field strength of the mounting member 32 implemented as a magnetic attraction member, and the other way of reducing the magnetic field strengths of the magnetic attraction positioning member 31 and the mounting member 32 at the same time.

The magnetic attraction positioning element 31 and/or the mounting element 32 of the magnetic attraction unit 30 can be expanded, the magnetic attraction positioning element 31 and/or the mounting element 32 of the magnetic attraction unit 30 can be shielded, and the magnetic field intensity of the magnetic attraction positioning element 31 and/or the mounting element 32 of the magnetic attraction unit 30 can be directly controlled.

In the first mode, the magnetic attraction positioning element 31 of the magnetic attraction unit 30 is movably mounted on the charging seat body 10, and the magnetic field intensity at the position of the power supply surface 101 of the charging seat body 10 is changed by controlling the distance between the magnetic attraction positioning element 31 and the power supply surface 101 of the charging seat body 10. Similarly, the mounting member 32 of the magnetic attraction unit 30 can also be movably mounted on the charging seat body 10 to change the distance between the mounting member 32 and the power supply surface 101 of the charging seat body 10, so as to change the magnetic field intensity at the position of the power supply surface 101. Here, the magnetic attraction holder 31 will be described as an example.

The charging dock 1 further comprises a movable supporting member 50, wherein the magnetic positioning member 31 is mounted on the movable supporting member 50, and the movable supporting member 50 is mounted on the charging dock body 10 and is movably mounted on the charging dock body 10. The movable support 50 may move in various manners such as rotation, autorotation, translation, and the like.

In the present embodiment, a self-rotation example will be described. The movable supporting member 50 has a working surface 501 and an idle surface 502, wherein the movable supporting member 50 can be rotated to the same side of the working surface 501 and the power supply surface 101 of the charging seat body 10, that is, the working surface 501 of the movable supporting member 50 and the power supply surface 101 of the charging seat body 10 have the same extending direction, for example, the working surface 501 of the movable supporting member 50 and the power supply surface 101 of the charging seat body 10 can be flush. When the lamp 2000A is placed on the power supply surface 101 of the charging stand body 10, the working surface 501 of the movable supporting member 50 is faced to the lamp 2000A, so that the magnetic attraction mating member of the lamp 2000A is magnetically attracted to the working surface 501 of the movable supporting member 50. When the movable supporting member 50 is rotated to the position where the idle surface 502 and the power supply surface 101 are located on the same side, the lamp 2000A placed on the power supply surface 101 of the charging stand body 10 cannot be magnetically attracted to the charging stand 1.

In other words, the magnetic field strength at the position of the power supply surface 101 of the charging seat body 10 is greater when the working surface 501 of the movable support 50 and the power supply surface 101 of the charging seat body 10 are located on the same side than when the idle surface 502 of the movable support 50 and the power supply surface 101 of the charging seat body 10 are located on the same side.

The working surface 501 of the movable support 50 may be a magnetic surface, and correspondingly, the idle surface 502 may be a non-magnetic surface, or the working surface 501 of the movable support 50 may be a strong magnetic surface, and correspondingly, the idle surface 502 may be a weak magnetic surface.

It can be understood that, through the movement of the movable supporting member 50, the relative position between the magnetic attraction positioning member 31 and the power supply surface 101 of the charging seat body 10 is changed, so that the power supply surface 101 of the charging seat body 10 is changed between a magnetic state and a non-magnetic state, or the power supply surface 101 of the charging seat body 10 is changed between a strong magnetic state and a weak magnetic state, so that the charging seat 1 is changed between the electronic device use state and the lamp use state.

The charging dock 1 further comprises a magnetic attraction control component 60, wherein the magnetic attraction control component 60 is an electric control element, wherein the magnetic attraction control component 60 comprises a magnetic attraction control component 61 and a magnetic attraction control motor 62, wherein the movement of the movable support member 50 is controlled by the magnetic attraction control motor 62, and the magnetic attraction control component 61 controls the magnetic attraction control motor 62. For example, when the magnetic control member 61 is pressed, the magnetic control motor 62 controls the movable support member 50 to rotate 180 degrees, and when the magnetic control member 61 is pressed, the magnetic control motor 62 controls the movable support member 50 to continue to rotate 180 degrees.

The working surface 501 and the idle surface 502 of the movable support 50 may be disposed opposite to each other, or may be disposed adjacent to each other.

Further, in the present embodiment, the change of the magnetic field strength and the formation of the holding space 100 of the charging stand 1 may be linked.

In other words, the holder 42 can be synchronously switched between the closed state and the open state to form the holding space 100 while the magnetic field strength at the position of the power supply surface 101 of the charging-stand body 10 is changed.

In detail, the magnetic field strength at the position of the power supply surface 101 of the charging stand body 10 is controlled by the magnetic attraction control component 60, and the state of the holder 42 is controlled by the holding control component 41. The magnetic attraction control motor 62 of the magnetic attraction control assembly 60 and the retention control motor 412 of the retention control assembly 41 may be linked.

For example, the magnetic attraction control component 60 receives an instruction to change the magnetic field strength at the position of the power supply surface 101 of the charging stand body 10, and meanwhile, the magnetic attraction control component 60 sends an instruction to the holding control component 41 to form the holding space 100, so as to change the holding manner of the charging stand 1 on the power-requiring device 2000.

Specifically, when the magnetic button of the magnetic control assembly 60 is operated, the magnetic control motor 62 moves and drives the magnetic control motor 62 to move synchronously, so as to change the magnetic field intensity of the position of the power supply surface 101 and the position of the holder 42 relative to the charging stand body 10 simultaneously.

For example, in the current state, the working surface 501 and the power supply surface 101 of the movable supporting member 50 are located on the same side, and the holding member 42 is in the closed state. When a user needs to charge the electronic device 2000B such as the mobile phone and the like and the charging dock 1 needs to be suspended for use, the user can operate the magnetic attraction control component 60 or the holding control component 41, the movable supporting member 50 is controlled to be located on the same side of the idle surface 502 and the power supply surface 101 of the charging dock body 10, and the holding member 42 is synchronously switched to the open state to form the holding space 100.

It should be noted that the magnetic field intensity at the position of the power supply surface 101 of the charging stand body 10 and the state of the holder 42 can also be controlled independently.

For example, in the current state, the working surface 501 and the power supply surface 101 of the movable support 50 are located on the same side, the holding member 42 is in the closed state, and the charging stand 1 is in the lamp using state.

Further, in order to enable the user to perform more directional manipulation on the charging stand 1, the charging stand 1 may include a linkage control member, wherein the movable supporting member 50 and the holding member 42 are synchronously and controllably connected to the linkage control member. In other words, the user can control the movable support member 50 and the holding member 42 simultaneously by operating one of the magnetically attracting control members 61 or the holding control members 411 of the magnetically attracting control assembly 60.

When a user needs to change the magnetic field intensity at the position of the power supply surface 101 of the charging cradle body 10, the magnetic attraction control component 60 can be selectively operated, and when a user needs to change the holding mode of the charging cradle 1 for the power-requiring device 2000, the holding control component 41 can be selectively operated.

When a user needs to simultaneously change the magnetic field intensity of the position of the power supply surface 101 of the charging stand body 10 and the holding mode of the charging stand 1 for the power demand equipment 2000, the user can select to operate the linkage control member.

Alternatively, the distance between the two holding arms 421A is variable, for example, the two holding arms 421A are respectively connected to the charging stand body 10 through elastic elements. When the size of the electronic device 2000B such as a mobile phone is changed, the holding space 100 formed between the two holding arms 421A can be adapted to the change of the electronic device 2000B such as a mobile phone.

The distance between the two holding arms 421A is set to be changeable, and the size and position of the holding space 100 between the holding arms 421A can be changed in response to changes in the electronic device 2000B such as the cellular phone.

The alignment sensor 70A is provided to the charging stand body 10 or the holding arm 421A of the holder 42.

When the electronic device 2000B such as a cellular phone is placed in the holding space 100 of the charging stand 1, the processor 80 adjusts the position of the holding arm 421A based on the data detected by the alignment sensor 70A until the electronic device 2000B such as a cellular phone is fixed to the holder 42 and aligned with the transmission coil 20.

It is understood that the holding space 100 of the charging stand 1 is formed at the holder 42.

It can be understood that at least one of the holding arms 421B is movably disposed on the charging stand body 10, so that the size of the holding space 100 can be adjusted.

It is understood that the electronic device 2000B such as a mobile phone can be held on the power supply surface 101 of the charging stand body 10 in various ways in the case that the electronic device 2000B such as a mobile phone cannot be aligned with the transmitting coil 20 of the charging stand 1 under the action of gravity. The electronic device 2000B such as the mobile phone can be pressed, engaged, pressed, and bound to the power supply surface 101 of the charging stand body 10, and can be supported, and suspended outside the power supply surface 101 and kept within a chargeable distance from the power supply surface 101.

It is understood that the holding space 100 formed by the holder 42 and the charging stand body 10 may exist in different states at all times. The holding space 100 may be enlarged for holding the lamp 2000A when the lamp 2000A is placed, and the holding space 100 may be reduced for holding the electronic device 2000B such as a cellular phone when the electronic device 2000B such as a cellular phone is placed.

The holding member 42 mainly holds the electronic device 2000B such as a mobile phone on the charging seat body 10 by acting forces in two directions, one is that the direction of the acting force simultaneously penetrates through the electronic device 2000B such as a mobile phone and the charging seat body 10, for example, a direction perpendicular to the power supply surface 101 of the charging seat body 10, for example, in a manner of pressing the electronic device 2000B such as a mobile phone on the power supply surface 101 of the charging seat body 10, and the other is that the direction of the acting force can only penetrate through the electronic device 2000B such as a mobile phone, for example, a direction parallel to the power supply surface 101 of the charging seat body 10, for example, the electronic device 2000B such as a mobile phone is held outside the power supply surface 101 of the charging seat body 10.

In other words, the electronic device 2000B such as the mobile phone is pressed by the holder 42 to be attached to the power supply surface 101 of the charging-stand body 10, or the electronic device 2000B such as the mobile phone is held and attached to the power supply surface 101 of the charging-stand body 10 by the holder 42.
