Detailed Description

Embodiments of the present disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that in the drawings, similar components or functional elements may be denoted by the same reference numerals. The accompanying drawings are intended to be merely illustrative of embodiments of the disclosure and not limiting thereof. Persons skilled in the art may derive alternatives from the following description without departing from the spirit and scope of the disclosure.

Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of a charging device 100. The charging device 100 is a wall-type charging device including a charging case 1 and a main body 2, the charging case 1 for accommodating an electronic device including first and second wall portions 3 and 4 disposed oppositely, a bottom wall 5, and a top opening 6. A wireless charging induction circuit 8 is arranged in the first wall part 3. In order to prevent the electronic device from toppling over in a forward direction during charging, the first wall portion 3 is arranged to be inclined towards the second wall portion 4 from top to bottom, so that the electronic device can be stably inclined against the first wall portion 3 for wireless charging by means of the wireless charging induction circuit 8. The main body 2 houses a charging circuit adapted to be electrically connected to the mains, the first wall portion 3 of the charging box 1 being fixed to said main body 2. The main body 2 is configured to be received in a recess of a wall to mount the charging apparatus 100 to the wall. In other embodiments, the charging circuit of the main body may also be connected to other power sources, such as a 24V car power supply, to power the charging device 100. Accordingly, the main body 2 can also be fixed to other areas than the wall, for example, on a dashboard of a car or the like.

For convenience of explanation, fig. 2 also shows a perspective view of the charging apparatus 100, and differs from fig. 1 in that the charging apparatus 100 accommodates an electronic apparatus 200 therein. As shown in fig. 2, when charging is required, the electronic apparatus 200 is accommodated into the charging box 1 through the top opening 6, and wireless charging is performed while leaning against the first wall portion 3.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the charging box 1 is further provided with a switch 9 and a wired charging port 10. The switch 9 is used for controlling the wireless charging induction circuit to be turned on and off. The wired charging port 10 is used for charging the electronic device through a charging wire. The wired charging port is, for example, a USB Type-a or USB Type-C Type fast charging port, and when the wireless charging speed provided by the wireless charging sensing circuit 8 cannot meet the user requirement, the user can use the fast charging port to fast charge the electronic device. When the electronic device is accommodated in the charging box 1, in order to obtain a faster charging speed, the user may also choose to connect the electronic device to the wired charging port 10 by means of the charging cord for fast charging, at which time the wireless charging induction circuit 8 may be turned off by the switch 9 to prevent the electronic device from malfunctioning due to overcharging. It is common today for electronic devices with wireless charging functionality to have a battery charging management setting, i.e. the wireless charging functionality of the electronic device is automatically disabled when the electronic device is connected to a wired charger. However, a large number of electronic devices are still not equipped with such a battery charging management arrangement, and therefore, when the electronic devices are coupled with wired and wireless charging devices at the same time, the electronic devices may cause battery failure due to the simultaneous wired and wireless charging. The switch 9 for controlling the on and off of the wireless charging induction circuit is arranged in the charging box 1 of the present disclosure, so that the occurrence of such a problem can be effectively avoided.

In particular, for convenience of operation, the switch 9 and the wired charging port 10 may be provided outside the side wall 7 connecting the first wall portion 3 and the second wall portion 4.

Fig. 3 shows a perspective view of charging device 100 from a bottom perspective. When the user selects to charge the electronic device accommodated in the charging box 1 through the wired charging port 10, the charging cable connected to the wired charging port 10 may be connected to the electronic device located inside the charging box 1 through the opening 12 of the bottom wall 5 of the charging box 1.

The wired charging interface of the charging device 100 may also be used to charge other electronic devices not placed in the charging box 1, in which case the charging device 100 may also be used to simultaneously charge a plurality of electronic devices, such as the electronic device 200 received in the charging box through the wireless charging sensing circuit 8 and the other electronic devices through the wired charging interface 10.

Fig. 4 shows a perspective view of the charging device 100. For ease of illustration, the second wall portion 4 is hidden in fig. 4. As can be seen from fig. 4, a limiting structure 11 is further disposed in the charging box 1, and the limiting structure 11 cooperates with the first wall portion 3 to make the electronic device adhere to the first wall portion 3 and the wireless charging induction circuit 8. Through set up limit structure in the box that charges, can effectual reduction electronic equipment and the wireless clearance that charges between the induction circuit 8 to improve electronic equipment's charge efficiency, reduce the electric energy loss. The stop arrangement 11 will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 5 and 6 show sectional views of the charging apparatus 100, wherein fig. 6 is a sectional view of the charging apparatus 100 when accommodating the electronic apparatus 200. As can be seen from fig. 5 and 6, when the electronic device 200 is accommodated in the charging box 100 through the top opening 6, the stopper structure 11 abuts against the electronic device 200 so that the electronic device is fitted to the first wall portion 3. The stopper structure 11 may be or include an elastic member adapted to provide an elastic restoring force to the electronic device 200 received in the charging box 1. Configuring the stopper structure 11 to be or to include an elastic element has various technical advantages such as, on the one hand, being able to continuously apply an elastic force to the electronic device 200 to abut the electronic device 200 against the first wall portion 3 to prevent a decrease in wireless charging efficiency caused by a relative displacement therebetween, and, on the other hand, the charging box 1 being able to accommodate electronic devices of various sizes and enabling electronic devices of various sizes to abut against the first wall portion 3 while maintaining high wireless charging efficiency.

In one embodiment the stop structure 11 may be fixed to the lower part of the inner side of the second wall part 4, as shown in fig. 4-6. With this arrangement, when the electronic device 200 is accommodated in the charging box 1, the stopper structure 11 may contact only the lower portion of the electronic device 200 without blocking the main display area of the screen of the electronic device 200. This arrangement is advantageous for application scenarios where the electronic device is combined with a charging box for use as an electronic clock, a digital display, and visual acoustics, etc.

Fig. 7 and 8 show sectional views of the stopper structure 11, wherein fig. 8 is a sectional view of the stopper structure 11 in a state where the charging device 100 accommodates the electronic device 200. In order to facilitate the insertion of the electronic device 200 into the charging box 1, the position limiting structure 11 further includes a contact 14, and the contact 14 is connected to the elastic element 13 and abuts against the electronic device 200 accommodated in the charging box 1 under the elastic restoring force of the elastic element 13. Configuring the limiting structure 11 to include the contact 14 and the elastic element 13 can enhance the stability of the limiting structure 11 and facilitate heat dissipation of the electronic device 200, on the one hand, and is inexpensive and easy to replace, on the other hand. The contact 14 may have a variety of shapes, the details of which are shown in fig. 9.

Fig. 9 shows a cross-sectional view of a different contact 14. As shown in the left side view of fig. 9, the contact 14 may have a face 15, and in one embodiment, the face 15 is a curved face, so that the electronic device 200 can smoothly enter into the charging box 1 without damaging the surface of the electronic device due to the elastic force of the elastic member. In another embodiment, the face 15 may also be a plane parallel to the first wall portion 3, and the contact 14 having such a face 15 makes a larger contact area with the electronic device 200, thereby making the accommodation of the electronic device 200 by the charging box 1 more stable.

The embodiments in fig. 4-6 show two stop structures, but other embodiments of the present disclosure may have more or fewer stop structures. For cost reasons, the charging box may use only one limiting structure, but preferably, in order to ensure that the electronic device 200 can stably fit against the first wall portion 3, the contact may be configured to abut against the electronic device accommodated in the charging box at least at two separate positions, for example, the limiting structure 11 may include two separate limiting structures 11, or include one limiting structure 11 having two contact points with the electronic device 200 in succession.

Referring also to fig. 5 and 6, for better housing of the electronic device, the inner surface of the bottom wall 5 of the charging box 1 is perpendicular to the first wall portion 3. Further, in order to prevent the electronic apparatus from toppling forward at the time of charging, the first wall portion 3 is configured to be inclined at an angle, which is preferably 4 ° or more.

It is to be understood by persons skilled in the art that the foregoing description is provided for purposes of illustration and not limitation. It will be apparent to one skilled in the art that the present disclosure may be practiced in other implementations that depart from these specific details. Moreover, unnecessary detail of known functions and structures may be omitted from the current description so as not to obscure the present disclosure.
