Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of charging, in particular to a charging base and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Lamp is one of the tools frequently used in daily life, especially in the dark environment. The lamp can be placed on the ground or the desktop for use, or can be suspended for use. In some use environments, portable lamps need to be used on the wall to radiate light from top to bottom, such as when used in a garage or a repair workshop.

[0003] Considering the portability of the lamp, when the lamp is used on the wall, a power bank needs to be used to provide power. The power bank and the lamp can be used together on the wall. The lamp is usually provided with a magnet, and the power bank is also provided with a magnet. In this way, on the one hand, the lamp can be magnetically attracted to the power bank and obtain power, and on the other hand, the power bank can be magnetically attracted to the iron wall through the magnet.

[0004] The lamp and the power bank transfer power through wireless charging. In addition to wireless lamps, there are many other devices that can be wirelessly charged, such as mobile phones. Currently, mobile phones have special wireless power banks, and the power bank suitable for lamps cannot be used to charge mobile phones.

[0005] One of the reasons is that the lamp-type power bank positions the lamp through magnetic attraction, so that the lamp can be horizontally placed for charging, or vertically charged. However, for mobile phones, although they can be placed on the power bank in a horizontal state to be powered, the magnet provided in the lamp-type power bank will affect the electronic components in the mobile phone.

[0006] In addition, when the lamp-type power bank is used on the wall, electronic devices such as mobile phones cannot be used on the wall together with the lamp-type power bank, because electronic devices such as mobile phones usually do not have a magnet that can be magnetically attracted to the magnet of the lamp-type power bank.

[0007] In other words, the current application scenario of the lamp-type power bank is very limited, and the actual use is not portable. When a user uses a portable lamp in a garage or an outdoor environment, he or she may need to carry at least two power banks, one for powering the lamp and the other for powering the mobile phone.

[0051] The following description is intended to disclose the present invention and enable those skilled in the art to implement it. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and other obvious variations will occur to those skilled in the art. The basic principles of the invention defined in the following description can be applied to other embodiments, modifications, improvements, equivalents, and other technical solutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention.

[0052] Those skilled in the art should understand that, in the disclosure of this invention, the terms "longitudinal," "lateral," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, the above terms should not be construed as limiting this invention.

[0053] It is understood that the term "a" should be understood as "at least one" or "one or more", that is, in one embodiment, the number of an element can be one, while in another embodiment, the number of the element can be multiple, and the term "a" should not be understood as a limitation on the number.

[0054] Reference Appendix Figure 1 To be continued Figure 2DAs shown, a charging dock 1 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is illustrated, wherein the charging dock 1 is adapted to power a power-demanding device 2000, and is capable of powering not only a lamp 2000A, but also an electronic device 2000B such as a mobile phone. In other words, the power-demanding device 2000 may be, but is not limited to, the lamp 2000A and the electronic device 2000B such as the mobile phone.

[0055] The charging dock 1 provides wireless power to the lamp 2000A or the mobile phone or other electronic device 2000B. It is worth noting that the charging dock 1 can be used not only horizontally but also vertically, while maintaining electrical connection between the lamp 2000A or the mobile phone or other electronic device 2000B.

[0056] In detail, the charging dock 1 includes a charging dock body 10, a transmitting coil 20, and at least one magnetic positioning member 31. The charging dock body 10 has a power supply surface 101 and a mounting surface 102 corresponding to the power supply surface 101. The power supply surface 101 is suitable for placing the power-requiring device 2000, such as the lamp 2000A or the mobile phone or other electronic device 2000B. The mounting surface 102 is suitable for mounting on a wall or other location.

[0057] The transmitting coil 20 and the magnetic positioning member 31 are respectively mounted on the charging base body 10, wherein the charging base body 10 includes a charging base housing 11 and a power storage unit 12, wherein the power storage unit 12 is mounted on the charging base housing 11, and the charging base 1 may form a charging base receiving cavity, in which the power storage unit 12 is received. The transmitting coil 20 is disposed on the charging base housing 11, and the transmitting coil 20 is conductively connected to the power storage unit 12.

[0058] The power-demanding device 2000 is equipped with a receiving coil, which allows electrical energy to be transferred from the energy storage unit 12 to the power-demanding device 2000 through the cooperation between the transmitting coil 20 and the receiving coil.

[0059] The magnetic positioning element 31 is disposed on the charging base body 10 and can maintain a preset distance from the transmitting coil 20, so that the magnetic field of the magnetic positioning element 31 will not cause excessive interference to the operation of the transmitting coil 20 and the receiving coil.

[0060] The power-requiring device 2000 is equipped with a magnetic attraction component. Through the magnetic attraction of the magnetic positioning component 31 and the magnetic attraction component, the power-requiring device 2000 can be positioned on the power supply surface 101 of the charging base body 10 and aligned with the transmitting coil 20. The number of magnetic positioning components 31 can be two, three, or more. The number of magnetic attraction components can also be two, three, or more.

[0061] The charging dock 1 may further include at least one mounting member 32, wherein the mounting member 32 is disposed on the charging dock body 10 and located on one side of the mounting surface 102, so that when the charging dock 1 is installed on a wall or other location, the charging dock 1 can be mounted for hanging use via the mounting member 32. In this embodiment, the mounting member 32 is implemented as a magnetic structure, which is fixed to the wall or other location with a certain height by magnetic attraction. It is understood that the mounting member 32 can also be other structures, such as a plug-in socket, which can be plugged into the fan blade position of the vehicle's air vent.

[0062] The charging dock 1 has an electronic device usage state and a lamp usage state. In the electronic device usage state, the charging dock 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, can work normally without interference when it is placed on the power supply surface 101 of the charging dock body 10 for charging. In the lamp usage state, the charging dock 1 magnetically attracts the lamp 2000A to a preset position by means of the magnetic positioning member 31, so that the transmitting coil 20 is aligned with the receiving coil of the lamp 2000A.

[0063] Furthermore, the charging base 1 includes a magnetic suction unit 30. When the mounting member 32 is a magnetic suction structure, the magnetic suction unit 30 includes the magnetic suction positioning member 31 and the mounting member 32. The magnetic suction positioning member 31 and the mounting member 32 can be located on opposite sides.

[0064] When the electronic device is in use, the magnetic field strength of the magnetic positioning member 31 and / or the mounting member 32 of the magnetic attraction unit 30 can be reduced, for example, weakened, or even eliminated. Specifically, the magnetic attraction of the magnetic positioning member 31 of the magnetic attraction unit 30 at the power supply surface 101 can be reduced, or the magnetic attraction of the mounting member 32 of the magnetic attraction unit 30 at the power supply surface 101 can be reduced, or the magnetic attraction of both the magnetic positioning member 31 and the mounting member 32 of the magnetic attraction unit 30 at the power supply surface 101 can be reduced simultaneously.

[0065] The charging dock 1 has four working states, which can be referred to in the appendix respectively.Figure 2A To be continued Figure 2D As shown, the first working state is charging the lamp 2000A. The magnetic positioning member 31 of the magnetic unit 30 is working normally. The lamp 2000A is positioned on the charging base 1 by the magnetic positioning member 31 and supported by the power supply surface 101 of the charging base body 10. For example, the lamp 2000A is charged horizontally. The second working state is also charging the lamp 2000A, and the lamp 2000A is magnetically attracted to the charging base 1 by the magnetic positioning member 31. The magnetic attraction between the magnetic positioning member 31 and the magnetic coupling member of the lamp 2000A needs to overcome the gravity of the lamp 2000A. For example, the lamp 2000A is charged vertically. The third operating state is charging the mobile phone or other electronic device 2000B. The mobile phone or other electronic device 2000B is supported on the charging base 1 by the power supply surface 101 and aligned with the transmitting coil 20, for example, when the mobile phone or other electronic device 2000B is placed horizontally for charging. It is understood that when the power supply surface 101 of the charging base 1 is slightly tilted to the horizontal plane, the mobile phone or other electronic device 2000B can still maintain alignment with the transmitting coil 20, relying on the friction between the mobile phone or other electronic device 2000B and the power supply surface 101 of the charging base body 10. The fourth operating state is also charging the mobile phone or other electronic device 2000B. The mobile phone or other electronic device 2000B is held outside the power supply surface 101 of the charging base body 10 by a holding space 100 of the charging base 1 and aligned with the transmitting coil 20, for example, when the mobile phone or other electronic device 2000B is placed in a vertical position.

[0066] In other words, when the charging dock 1 is in the use state of the electronic device, the charging dock 1 can form the holding space 100 to ensure the alignment of the electronic device 2000B (such as a mobile phone) and the transmitting coil 20. In other examples of the charging dock 1, the alignment of the electronic device 2000B and the transmitting coil 20 may also be ensured by the supporting action of the power supply surface 101 of the charging dock body 10. When the charging dock 1 is in the use state of the lamp, the charging dock 1 positions the lamp 2000A on the charging dock 1 by the magnetic attraction of the magnetic positioning member 31 and the magnetic mating member of the lamp 2000A.

[0067] In other words, when the charging base 1 is in a supported state, it can supply power to electronic devices 2000B such as mobile phones, or selectively supply power to lamps 2000A. When supplying power to electronic devices 2000B, the magnetic field strength at the power supply surface 101 of the charging base body 10 can be reduced. When the charging base 1 is in a suspended state, it can utilize the magnetic attraction between the lamp 2000A and the charging base 1 to hold the lamp 2000A on the power supply surface 101 of the charging base body 10 for power transmission. The charging base 1 can form the holding space 100 to supply power to electronic devices 2000B such as mobile phones. In other words, the charging dock 1 has a supported use state and a suspended use state. In the supported use state, the charging dock 1 can be selected to supply power to the lamp 2000A and the electronic device 2000B such as the mobile phone. In the suspended use state, the charging dock 1 can also be selected to supply power to the lamp 2000A and the electronic device 2000B such as the mobile phone.

[0068] Further, please refer to the appendix. Figure 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 is capable of being formed in the holding space 100 with the power supply surface 101 of the charging dock body 10.

[0069] The retaining member 42 is controllably connected to the retaining control assembly 41, wherein the retaining control assembly 41 is an electrical control element, the retaining control assembly 41 includes a retaining control member 411 and a retaining control motor 412, wherein the retaining member 42 is drivably connected to the retaining control motor 412, and the retaining control motor 412 is controllably connected to the retaining control member 411.

[0070] The retainer 42 has an open state and a closed state. In the open state, at least a portion of the retainer 42 and the power supply surface 101 form the retaining space 100. In the closed state, the retainer 42 is attached to the charging dock body 10 so that the charging dock body 10 and the retainer 42 can provide a flat surface for placing the mobile phone or other electronic device 2000B or the lamp 2000A.

[0071] In this embodiment, the retainer 42 is configured to be movable so that the retainer 42 can switch between the open state and the closed state.

[0072] The holding control motor 412 of the holding control assembly 41 can drive the holding member 42 to move to switch between the open state and the closed state.

[0073] Furthermore, for the magnetic attraction unit 30, there are three main ways to reduce the magnetic field at the power supply surface 101 position of the charging base body 10: one is to reduce the magnetic field strength of the magnetic attraction positioning member 31, another is to reduce the magnetic field strength of the mounting member 32 which is implemented as a magnetic attraction member, and the third is to reduce the magnetic field strength of both the magnetic attraction positioning member 31 and the mounting member 32 simultaneously.

[0074] There are three main methods that can be adopted: one is to expand the magnetic positioning member 31 and / or the mounting member 32 of the magnetic attraction unit 30; another is to shield at least a portion of the magnetic positioning member 31 and / or the mounting member 32 of the magnetic attraction unit 30; and the third is to directly control the magnitude of the magnetic field strength of the magnetic positioning member 31 and / or the mounting member 32 of the magnetic attraction unit 30.

[0075] In the first embodiment, the magnetic positioning member 31 of the magnetic unit 30 is movably mounted to the charging base body 10. The magnetic field strength at the position of the power supply surface 101 of the charging base body 10 is changed by controlling the distance between the magnetic positioning member 31 and the power supply surface 101 of the charging base body 10. Similarly, the mounting member 32 of the magnetic unit 30 can also be movably mounted to the charging base body 10 to change the distance between the mounting member 32 and the power supply surface 101 of the charging base body 10, thereby changing the magnetic field strength at the position of the power supply surface 101. Here, the magnetic positioning member 31 will be used as an example for explanation.

[0076] The charging dock 1 further includes a movable support member 50, wherein the magnetic positioning member 31 is mounted on the movable support member 50, and the movable support member 50 is mounted on the charging dock body 10 and is movably mounted on the charging dock body 10. The movable support member 50 can move in various ways such as rotation, rotation, and translation.

[0077] In this embodiment, rotation is used as an example for explanation. The movable support 50 has a working surface 501 and an idle surface 502, wherein the movable support 50 can be rotated so that the working surface 501 and the power supply surface 101 of the charging base body 10 are on the same side, that is, the working surface 501 of the movable support 50 and the power supply surface 101 of the charging base body 10 have the same extending direction, for example, the working surface 501 of the movable support 50 and the power supply surface 101 of the charging base body 10 can be flush. When the lamp 2000A is placed on the power supply surface 101 of the charging base body 10, the working surface 501 of the movable support 50 is oriented towards the lamp 2000A, so that the magnetic attraction component of the lamp 2000A is magnetically attracted to the working surface 501 of the movable support 50. When the movable support 50 is rotated to the point where the idle surface 502 and the power supply surface 101 are on the same side, the lamp 2000A placed on the power supply surface 101 of the charging base body 10 cannot be magnetically attracted to the charging base 1.

[0078] In other words, the magnetic field strength at the power supply surface 101 of the charging base body 10 is greater when the working surface 501 of the movable support 50 and the power supply surface 101 of the charging base body 10 are on the same side than when the idle surface 502 of the movable support 50 and the power supply surface 101 of the charging base body 10 are on the same side.

[0079] The working surface 501 of the movable support 50 can be a magnetic surface, and correspondingly, the idle surface 502 can be a non-magnetic surface; or the working surface 501 of the movable support 50 can be a strong magnetic surface, and correspondingly, the idle surface 502 can be a weak magnetic surface.

[0080] It is understood that by moving the movable support 50, the relative position of the magnetic positioning member 31 and the power supply surface 101 of the charging base body 10 is changed, thereby causing the power supply surface 101 of the charging base body 10 to change between a magnetic state and a non-magnetic state, or to change between a strong magnetic state and a weak magnetic state, thereby causing the charging base 1 to change between the electronic device usage state and the lamp usage state.

[0081] The charging dock 1 further includes a magnetic attraction control assembly 60, which is an electronically controlled component. The magnetic attraction control assembly 60 includes a magnetic attraction control element 61 and a magnetic attraction control motor 62. The movement of the movable support member 50 is controlled by the magnetic attraction control motor 62, and the magnetic attraction control element 61 controls the magnetic attraction control motor 62. For example, pressing the magnetic attraction control element 61 causes the magnetic attraction control motor 62 to control the movable support member 50 to rotate 180 degrees; pressing the magnetic attraction control element 61 again causes the magnetic attraction control motor 62 to control the movable support member 50 to continue rotating 180 degrees.

[0082] The working surface 501 and the idle surface 502 of the movable support 50 can be arranged opposite to each other or adjacent to each other.

[0083] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the change in magnetic field strength and the formation of the holding space 100 of the charging base 1 can be linked.

[0084] In other words, as the magnetic field strength at the power supply surface 101 of the charging base body 10 changes, the retaining member 42 can simultaneously switch between the closed state and the open state to form the retaining space 100.

[0085] In detail, the magnetic field strength at the power supply surface 101 of the charging base body 10 is controlled by the magnetic attraction control component 60, and the state of the retaining member 42 is controlled by the retaining control component 41. The magnetic attraction control motor 62 of the magnetic attraction control component 60 and the retaining control motor 412 of the retaining control component 41 can be linked together.

[0086] 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 base body 10. At the same time, the magnetic attraction control component 60 sends an instruction to the holding control component 41 to form the holding space 100, thereby changing the way the charging base 1 supports the power-requiring device 2000.

[0087] Specifically, when the magnetic button of the magnetic attraction control component 60 is operated, the magnetic attraction control motor 62 moves and drives the magnetic attraction control motor 62 to move synchronously, so as to simultaneously change the magnetic field strength at the location of the power supply surface 101 and the position of the retaining member 42 relative to the charging base body 10.

[0088] For example, in the current state, the working surface 501 and the power supply surface 101 of the movable support 50 are on the same side, and the retaining member 42 is in the closed state. When a user needs to charge the mobile phone or other electronic device 2000B, and the charging dock 1 needs to be suspended for use, the user can operate the magnetic suction control component 60 or the retaining control component 41. The movable support 50 is controlled so that the idle surface 502 and the power supply surface 101 of the charging dock body 10 are on the same side, and the retaining member 42 is simultaneously switched to the open state to form the retaining space 100.

[0089] It is worth noting that the magnetic field strength at the location of the power supply surface 101 of the charging base body 10 and the state of the holding member 42 can also be controlled independently.

[0090] For example, in the current state, the working surface 501 and the power supply surface 101 of the movable support 50 are on the same side, the retaining member 42 is in the closed state, and the charging base 1 is in the lamp usage state. When a user needs to charge the mobile phone or other electronic device 2000B in a horizontal position, the user can operate the magnetic control component 60, and the movable support 50 is controlled so that the idle surface 502 and the power supply surface 101 of the charging base body 10 are on the same side, and the retaining member 42 remains in the closed state.

[0091] Furthermore, to enable users to perform more directional control on the charging dock 1, the charging dock 1 may include a linkage control component, wherein the movable support 50 and the retaining member 42 are synchronously and controllably connected to the linkage control component. In other words, the user can simultaneously control the movable support 50 and the retaining member 42 by operating either the magnetic attraction control component 61 or the retaining control component 411 of the magnetic attraction control assembly 60.

[0092] When a user needs to change the magnetic field strength at the location of the power supply surface 101 of the charging dock body 10, they can choose to operate the magnetic attraction control component 60. When a user needs to change the way the charging dock 1 holds the power-consuming device 2000, they can choose to operate the holding control component 41.

[0093] When a user needs to simultaneously change the magnetic field strength at the location of the power supply surface 101 of the charging dock body 10 and the holding method of the charging dock 1 for the power-requiring device 2000, the user can choose to operate the linkage control component.

[0094] It is understood that the magnetic attraction control element 61 of the magnetic attraction control assembly 60 can be a button or a switch, for example, operated by sliding or tossing. The holding control element 411 of the holding control assembly 41 can be a button or a switch, for example, operated by sliding or tossing.

[0095] Furthermore, in this embodiment, reference continues to be made to the appendix. Figure 1 The retainer 42 includes a retaining arm 421 and a support platform 422. When the retainer 42 is in the open state, at least a portion of the retaining arm 421 maintains a certain distance from the power supply surface 101 of the charging base body 10 and is connected to the charging base body 10. The support platform 422 is configured to extend outward from the power supply surface 101 of the charging base body 10. The retaining arm 421 may be connected to the support platform 422 or may be independent of the support platform 422.

[0096] The retaining arm 421 presses the mobile phone or other electronic device 2000B against the power supply surface 101 of the charging base body 10, thereby increasing the friction between the mobile phone or other electronic device 2000B and the power supply surface 101 to keep the position of the mobile phone or other electronic device 2000B and the charging base 1 fixed.

[0097] The support platform 422 supports the mobile phone or other electronic device 2000B outside the power supply surface 101 of the charging base body 10. The support platform 422 is located below the mobile phone or other electronic device 2000B, and the retaining arm 421 is located outside the mobile phone or other electronic device 2000B. The retaining arm 421 and the support platform 422 have different functions.

[0098] It is worth noting that after the mobile phone or other electronic device 2000B enters the holding space 100 of the charging dock 1, it can be automatically pressed against the power supply surface 101 of the charging dock body 10 by the holding member 42 to ensure the alignment of the mobile phone or other electronic device 2000B and the transmitting coil 20.

[0099] The charging dock 1 further includes at least one detector 70 and a processor 80, wherein the detector 70 is disposed on the charging dock body 10 or the retaining member 42, and the processor 80 is communicatively connected to the detector 70. The retaining member 42 and the magnetic attraction unit 30 are respectively controllably connected to the processor 80. The processor 80 controls the retaining member 42 and the magnetic attraction unit 30 based on the data collected by the detector 70 so that the charging dock 1 changes between different states to adapt to the power-requiring device 2000.

[0100] The detector 70 includes an alignment sensor 70A, wherein the alignment sensor 70A is disposed at the power supply surface 101 of the charging base body 10 or at the holding member 42.

[0101] The processor 80 is communicatively connected to the alignment sensor 70A. The alignment sensor 70A collects data, such as pressure data, on the position of the power supply surface 101 of the charging base body 10 or on the inside of the retainer 42, and sends it to the processor 80. The processor 80 determines whether the mobile phone or other electronic device 2000B is aligned with the transmitting coil 20. If not aligned, the processor 80 sends a signal to the retaining control component 41, causing the support motor to drive the retainer 42 to move, thereby pressing the mobile phone or other electronic device 2000B against the power supply surface 101 of the charging base 1 and aligning it with the transmitting coil 20.

[0102] The retainer 42 can be adjusted and mounted on the charging base body 10 along six directions: the X-axis, Y-axis, or Z-axis.

[0103] The support method of the retainer 42 can be various, for example, refer to the attached... Figure 3 As shown, the retaining member 42 includes two retaining arms 421A, which support the mobile phone or other electronic device 2000B from both sides. Optionally, the distance between the two retaining arms 421A is variable; for example, the two retaining arms 421A can be connected to the charging base body 10 via elastic elements. When the size of the mobile phone or other electronic device 2000B changes, the retaining space 100 formed between the two retaining arms 421A can adapt to the change in the size of the mobile phone or other electronic device 2000B.

[0104] The distance between the two retaining arms 421A is set to be variable, and the size and position of the retaining space 100 between the retaining arms 421A can be adapted to changes in the electronic device 2000B, such as the mobile phone.

[0105] The alignment sensor 70A is disposed on the charging base body 10 or the retaining arm 421A of the retainer 42.

[0106] When the mobile phone or other electronic device 2000B is placed in the holding space 100 of the charging dock 1, the processor 80 adjusts the position of the holding arm 421A based on the data detected by the alignment sensor 70A until the mobile phone or other electronic device 2000B is fixed to the holding member 42 and aligned with the transmitting coil 20.

[0107] The alignment sensor 70A may include multiple sensors, such as an infrared sensor, a pressure sensor, etc.

[0108] Reference Appendix Figure 4 As shown, the retaining member 42 includes two retaining arms 421B and a support platform 422B, wherein the support platform 422B is fixed to the charging base body 10, and the two retaining arms 421B are configured to move towards each other or away from each other so that the distance between the two retaining arms 421B changes, thereby adapting to electronic devices 2000B of different sizes such as mobile phones.

[0109] Reference Appendix Figure 5 As shown, the retaining member 42 includes the two retaining arms 421B and the support platform 422B, wherein the two retaining arms 421B and the support platform 422B are respectively movable relative to the charging dock body 10, so that the size of the retaining member 42 in either the length or width direction can be changed, thereby accommodating mobile phones and other electronic devices 2000B with different length or width dimensions. It is understood that the retaining space 100 of the charging dock 1 is formed in the retaining member 42.

[0110] It is understood that at least one of the retaining arms 421B is movably disposed on the charging base body 10 so that the size of the retaining space 100 can be adjusted.

[0111] It is understood that the mobile phone or other electronic device 2000B can be held on the power supply surface 101 of the charging base body 10 in various ways, in cases where the mobile phone or other electronic device 2000B cannot be aligned with the transmitting coil 20 of the charging base 1 under the influence of gravity. The mobile phone or other electronic device 2000B can be pressed against, engaged with, pressed against, or bound to the power supply surface 101 of the charging base body 10, and can also be supported, supported, or suspended outside the power supply surface 101 and kept within a charging distance from the power supply surface 101.

[0112] It is understood that the holding space 100 formed by the retaining member 42 and the charging base body 10 can always exist in different states. When the lamp 2000A is placed there, the holding space 100 can be expanded to accommodate the lamp 2000A, and when the mobile phone or other electronic device 2000B is placed there, the holding space 100 can be reduced to accommodate the mobile phone or other electronic device 2000B.

[0113] The retaining member 42 mainly holds the mobile phone or other electronic device 2000B to the charging dock body 10 by force in two directions. One direction of the force passes through both the mobile phone or other electronic device 2000B and the charging dock body 10, for example, perpendicular to the power supply surface 101 of the charging dock body 10, such as pressing the mobile phone or other electronic device 2000B to the power supply surface 101 of the charging dock body 10. The other direction of the force can only pass through the mobile phone or other electronic device 2000B, for example, parallel to the power supply surface 101 of the charging dock body 10, such as clamping the mobile phone or other electronic device 2000B to keep it outside the power supply surface 101 of the charging dock body 10.

[0114] In other words, the mobile phone or other electronic device 2000B is squeezed to fit against the power supply surface 101 of the charging dock body 10 by means of the retainer 42, or the mobile phone or other electronic device 2000B is supported and held in a close fit against the power supply surface 101 of the charging dock body 10 by means of the retainer 42.

[0115] The charging dock 1 can automatically identify the type of the power-requiring device 2000, and then make adaptive adjustments according to the type of the power-requiring device 2000.

[0116] Continue to refer to the appendix Figure 1 To be continued Figure 2D The detector 70 of the charging dock 1 further includes a power-demanding device detector 70B, wherein the power-demanding device detector 70B is disposed on the charging dock body 10 or the retaining member 42, and the power-demanding device detector 70B is communicatively connected to the processor 80. The power-demanding device detector 70B is used to detect the type of the power-demanding device 2000. For example, if the power-demanding device 2000 is identified by the power-demanding device detector 70B as the lamp 2000A, the processor 80 controls the magnetic attraction control component 60 of the charging dock 1 to switch to the lamp usage state. If the power-demanding device 2000 is identified by the power-demanding device detector 70B as an electronic device 2000B such as a mobile phone, the processor 80 controls the magnetic attraction control component 60 of the charging dock 1 to switch to the electronic device usage state.

[0117] The detector 70 of the charging dock 1 further includes a state detector 70C, wherein the state detector 70C is disposed on the charging dock body 10 and is used to identify the current state of the charging dock body 10. The state detector 70 is communicatively connected to the processor 80. The state detector 70 is used to acquire state information of the charging dock body 10, such as the position information of the charging dock body 10, whether it is in a horizontal or vertical position, the position information of the retaining member 42 disposed on the charging dock body 10, and the position information of the magnetic suction unit 30 disposed on the charging dock body 10, etc.

[0118] Based on the information obtained by the power-requiring device detector 70B and the status detector 70C, the processor 80 controls the retaining member 42 and the magnetic positioning member 31 respectively through the holding control component 41 and the magnetic attraction control component 60.

[0119] For example, when the processor 80 determines that the power-requiring device 2000 is the lamp 2000A based on the information detected by the power-requiring device detector 70B, and when the holding member 42 disposed on the charging base 1 is in the open state based on the information detected by the state detector 70C, and the distance between the magnetic positioning member 31 disposed on the charging base 1 and the power supply surface 101 of the charging base body 10 is far, the processor 80 controls the holding control component 41 to make the holding member 42 change to the closed state, and controls the magnetic control component 60 to make the magnetic positioning member 31 move closer to the power supply surface 101 of the charging base body 10. When the lamp 2000A is placed on the power supply surface 101 of the charging base body 10, the magnetic positioning member 31 can magnetically attract the lamp 2000A, and the holding member 42 will not obstruct the lamp 2000A.

[0120] In other words, with the help of the alignment detector 70A, the power-requiring device detector 70B, the status detector 70C, and the processor 80, the charging dock 1 can automatically switch between multiple states to automatically adapt to different user states and match different power-requiring devices 2000. The charging dock 1 can automatically switch between the electronic device usage state and the lamp usage state, and can also automatically switch between the supported usage state and the suspended usage state.

[0121] According to another aspect of the present invention, the present invention provides a method for operating the charging dock 1, wherein the method includes the following steps:

[0122] The detector 70 acquires the status information of the charging dock body 10 and the information of the power-requiring device 2000; and

[0123] Based on the obtained information, the processor 80 controls the retainer 42 and / or the magnetic unit 30 disposed on the charging dock body 10 to adapt and adjust to supply power to the power-requiring device 2000.

[0124] According to at least one embodiment of the present invention, in the above method, when the power-requiring device 2000 is an electronic device 2000B such as a mobile phone, the magnetic positioning member 31 and / or the mounting member 32 of the magnetic unit 30 of the charging dock 1 are controlled to change to the state of using the electronic device.

[0125] According to at least one embodiment of the present invention, in the above method, when the power-requiring device 2000 is the lamp 2000A, the magnetic positioning member 31 and / or the mounting member 32 of the magnetic unit 30 of the charging base 1 are controlled to change to the lamp usage state.

[0126] According to at least one embodiment of the present invention, in the above method, when the power-requiring device 2000 is an electronic device 2000B such as a mobile phone, and the power supply surface 101 of the charging base body 10 is in an inclined position, the holding member 42 of the charging base 1 is changed to the supporting use state.

[0127] According to at least one embodiment of the present invention, in the above method, when the power-requiring device 2000 is an electronic device 2000B such as a mobile phone, and the power supply surface 101 of the charging dock body 10 is in a horizontal position, the magnetic attraction unit 30 of the charging dock 1 is changed to the state of using the electronic device.

[0128] According to at least one embodiment of the present invention, in the above method, when the power-requiring device 2000 is an electronic device 2000B such as a mobile phone, and the power supply surface 101 of the charging base body 10 is in an inclined position, and the charging base 1 is in the supported use state, the holding member 42 and the magnetic attraction unit 30 of the charging base 1 are simultaneously changed so that the electronic device 2000B can be held in the holding space 100 and the magnetic attraction effect of the magnetic attraction unit 30 can be reduced.

[0129] According to another aspect of the invention, reference may be made to the appendix. Figure 6 and appendix Figure 1As shown, the present invention provides a charging system 1000, wherein the charging system 1000 includes the charging base 1, a detection unit 200 and a processing unit 300, wherein the detection unit 200 is disposed on the charging base 1 or the power-requiring device 2000, and the detection unit 200 is communicatively connected to the processing unit 300.

[0130] The magnetic suction unit 30 and the retaining member 42 are respectively controllably connected to the processing unit 300. The detection unit 200 is used to detect the state of the charging dock 1 itself and the external environment, such as the power-requiring device 2000. The processing unit 300 controls the magnetic suction unit 30 and the retaining member 42 to change based on the data detected by the detection unit 200 so that the charging dock 1 can adapt to different power-requiring devices 2000.

[0131] In detail, the detection unit 200 includes a alignment detection module 201, wherein the alignment detection module 201 is communicatively connected to the processing unit 300. The alignment detection module 201 is disposed on the charging dock body 10 or the holding member 42, and is used to detect whether the power-requiring device 2000 is aligned with the transmitting coil 20 of the charging dock body 10.

[0132] The detection unit 200 includes a state detection module 202, which is communicatively connected to the processing unit 300. The state detection module 202 is disposed on the charging base body 10 or the retaining member 42, and is used to detect the state of the charging base 1, such as whether it is horizontal or vertical, the position of the retaining member 42, the position of the magnetic limiting member of the magnetic suction unit 30, etc.

[0133] The detection unit 200 includes a device-requiring detection module 203, which is communicatively connected to the processing unit 300. The device-requiring detection module 203 is disposed on the charging dock body 10 or the retaining member 42, and is used to detect the type of the device-requiring device 2000, such as whether it is a lamp 2000A or a mobile phone. It is understood that the charging dock 1 can actively detect the device-requiring device 2000, or passively receive information from the device-requiring device 2000. For example, when the device-requiring device 2000 is within a certain range of the charging dock 1, the device-requiring device 2000 will actively send a signal to the processing unit 300, the signal containing device information, and the processing unit 300 will identify the type of the device-requiring device 2000 based on the signal.

[0134] When the device requiring power 2000 approaches the charging dock 1, the processing unit 300 analyzes the state of the charging dock 1 and the type of the device requiring power 2000 based on the information obtained by the state detection module 202 and the device requiring power detection module 203. If the charging dock 1 is in the supported use state and the device requiring power 2000 is a mobile phone, the processing unit 300 controls the magnetic attraction control component 60 to reduce the magnetic field strength at the location of the power supply surface 101. If the charging dock 1 is in the supported use state and the device requiring power 2000 is a lamp 2000A, and the idle surface 502 and the power supply surface 101 of the movable support 50 are on the same side, then the processing unit 300 controls the magnetic attraction control component 60 to make the working surface 501 and the power supply surface 101 of the movable support 50 on the same side. If the charging dock 1 is suspended and the device 2000 is identified as a mobile phone, the processing unit 300 controls the holding control component 41 to move the holding member 42, thereby forming the holding space 100 between the holding member 42 and the charging dock 1 body. The processing unit 300 can also control the magnetic attraction control component 60 to weaken the magnetic field strength at the power supply surface 101. If the charging dock 1 is suspended and the device 2000 is identified as a lamp 2000A, the processing unit 300 controls the holding control component 41 to expand or eliminate the holding space 100, so that the lamp 2000A can be placed on the power supply surface 101. The processing unit 300 can also control the magnetic attraction control component 60 to strengthen the magnetic field strength at the power supply surface 101, so that the lamp 2000A can be magnetically attracted to the power supply surface 101 by the action of the magnetic positioning component 31 and the magnetic engagement component.

[0135] Furthermore, when the power-requiring device 2000 is an electronic device 2000B such as a mobile phone, and when the electronic device 2000B is close to the power supply surface 101 of the charging dock body 10, based on the data obtained by the alignment detection module 201, the processing unit 300 can control the holding control component 41 to change the position of the holding member 42, thereby changing the size and position of the holding space 100 so that the mobile phone can be held on the power supply surface 101 and aligned with the power supply surface 101.

[0136] According to another aspect of the present invention, the present invention provides a method for operating the charging system 1000, wherein the method includes the following steps:

[0137] The information about the power-requiring device 2000 obtained by the detection unit 200 identifies whether the power-requiring device 2000 belongs to the electronic device 2000B (such as a mobile phone) or the lamp 2000A; and

[0138] If the power-requiring device 2000 is an electronic device 2000B such as a mobile phone, the state information of the charging dock 1 obtained by the detection unit 200 is used to determine whether the charging dock 1 needs to be adjusted to adapt to the power-requiring device 2000. If so, the processing unit 300 controls the charging dock 1 to be adjusted to adapt to the electronic device 2000B such as the mobile phone. If the power-requiring device 2000 is a lamp 2000A, the state information of the charging dock 1 obtained by the detection unit 200 is used to determine whether the charging dock 1 needs to be adjusted to adapt to the power-requiring device 2000. If so, the processing unit 300 controls the charging dock 1 to be adjusted to adapt to the lamp 2000A.

[0139] Further, see attached document. Figure 7 As shown, another embodiment of the charging dock 1 according to the present invention is illustrated.

[0140] In this embodiment, the magnetic field strength at the position of the power supply surface 101 is adjusted by shielding at least a portion of the magnetic positioning member 31 and / or the mounting member 32 of the magnetic attraction unit 30.

[0141] The charging dock 1 further includes a shielding member 90, wherein the shielding member 90 can be used to shield the magnetic positioning member 31 and / or the mounting member 32. The shielding member 90 is controllably connected to the magnetic control assembly 60.

[0142] The shielding member 90 has a working state and an idle state. In the working state, the shielding member 90 shields at least a portion of the magnetic attraction unit 30 at the position of the power supply surface 101. In the idle state, the shielding member 90 stops working or its shielding effect on the magnetic attraction unit 30 is weakened.

[0143] The shielding component 90 may be a movable part and controllably connected to the magnetic attraction control assembly 60 to switch between the working state and the idle state.

[0144] The shielding element 90 may also be an electromagnetic shielding element and is controllably connected to the magnetic attraction control component 60 to switch between the working state and the idle state.

[0145] In this embodiment, the shielding member 90 in the working state covers at least a portion of the magnetic positioning member 31 to provide a shielding effect. The shielding member 90 can be driven by the magnetic control component 60 to move, thereby exposing the magnetic positioning member 31 to become the idle state.

[0146] Reference Appendix Figure 8 As shown, another embodiment of the charging dock 1 according to the present invention is illustrated.

[0147] In this embodiment, the magnetic field strength at the position of the power supply surface 101 is adjusted by directly controlling the magnitude of the magnetic field strength of the magnetic positioning member 31 and / or the mounting member 32 of the magnetic unit 30 to selectively supply power to the lamps and electronic devices.

[0148] The magnetic positioning element 31 and / or the mounting element 32 are magnetically controllably connected to the magnetic control element 61 of the magnetic control assembly 60. The magnetic positioning element 31 can be implemented as an electromagnet, and the mounting element 32 can also be implemented as an electromagnet.

[0149] Appendix Figures 9 to 11C A charging dock according to another preferred embodiment of the invention is shown, with an attached... Figure 1 The charging dock 1 shown differs from the one shown in that it has an attached... Figures 9 to 11CIn this specific example of the charging dock 1 shown, the holding control assembly 41 includes a holding control element 411B, a control motor 412B, and a steering gear 413B. The control motor 412B is controllably connected to the holding control element 411B, and the rotor of the control motor 412B is provided with a drive gear 4121B. The steering gear 413B is meshed with the drive gear 4121B of the control motor 412B. The retaining arm 421B of the retainer 42 includes a driven element 4211B and an arm element 4212B. The driven element 4211B has a row of driven teeth 42111B and at least one obliquely extending groove 42112B. The steering gear 413B meshes with the driven teeth 42111B of the driven element 4211B, thus enabling the control motor 412B to drive the driven element 4211B via the steering gear 413B. The steering gear 413B converts the rotational motion of the control motor 412B into the reciprocating motion of the driven element 4211B. The arm element 4212B includes an arm body 42121B, at least one connecting body 42122B, and at least one slider 42123B. The connecting body 42122B extends integrally and obliquely from the arm body 42121B. At the bottom of 121B, the slider 42123B protrudes from the surface of the connector 42122B. The slider 42123B is slidably mounted in the groove 42112B of the driven element 4211B. When the control motor 412B drives the driven element 4211B to reciprocate through the steering gear 413B, the slider 42123B is driven by the inner wall of the driven element 4211B that forms the groove 42112B and slides along the groove 42112B of the driven element 4211B. In this way, the arm 42121B is allowed to conform to the power supply surface 101 of the charging base body 10 or is allowed to leave the power supply surface 101 of the charging base body 10 to form the holding space 100 between the charging base body 10 and the arm 42121B.

[0150] Preferably, the driven element 4211B has two grooves 42112B, which are disposed at opposite ends of the driven tooth 42111B. Correspondingly, the arm element 4212B includes two connecting bodies 42122B, which extend at intervals to both sides of the bottom of the arm body 42121B. Each of the two connecting bodies 42122B is provided with a slider 42123B, so that the sliders 42123B of the two connecting bodies 42122B are slidably mounted on the two grooves 42112B of the driven element 4211B. In this way, when the control motor 412B drives the holding arm 421B, the synchronicity of the movement of the opposite ends of the holding arm 421B can be ensured.

[0151] Furthermore, the charging dock body 10 has an internal space 103B and at least one communication channel 104B communicating with the internal space 103B, wherein the control motor 412B and the steering gear 413B are held in the internal space 103B of the charging dock body 10, wherein the connecting body 42122B of the arm element 4212B extends from the outside of the charging dock body 10 to the internal space 103B via the communication channel 104B, thereby holding the driven element 4211B in the internal space 103B of the charging dock body 10 and holding the arm body 42121B in the outside of the charging dock body 10, so that when the control motor 412B drives the driven element 4211B of the holding arm 421B in the internal space 103B of the charging dock body 10, the state of the arm body 42121B of the holding arm 412B relative to the power supply surface 101 of the charging dock body 10 can be adjusted.

[0152] Optionally, refer to the appendix. Figure 12 In one modified example of the charging base 1, the groove 42112B may be formed on the connector 42122B, and correspondingly, the slider 42123B may be formed on the driven element 4211B.

[0153] Continue to refer to the appendix Figures 9 to 11CThe retaining assembly 40 further includes at least one pull arm 43B, the pull arm 43B having an inner end 431B and an outer end 432B corresponding to the inner end 431B, and an extension groove 433B formed in the outer end 432B.

The arm element 4212B further includes at least one protrusion 42124B, the protrusion 42124B being disposed on the upper part of the arm body 42121B, and the protrusion 42124B of the arm element 4212B being rotatably and slidably disposed in the extension groove 433B of the pull arm 43B. When the control motor 412B drives the arm element 4212B to slide outward through the steering gear 413B and the driven element 4211B, the inner end 431B of the pull arm 43B rotates relative to the charging base body 10. The protrusion 42124B of the arm element 4212B slides and rotates within the extension groove 433B of the pull arm 43B. Thus, after the holding space 100 is formed between the arm body 42121B and the charging base body 10, the pull arm 43B can ensure the reliability of the arm body 42121B relative to the charging base body 10 by pulling the arm body 42121B and the charging base body 10.

[0154] According to another aspect of the invention, the invention further provides a method for charging the power-requiring device 2000 via the charging dock 1, wherein the charging method includes the following steps:

[0155] (a) The holding control assembly 41 of the charging dock 1 drives the holding member 42 to move relative to the charging dock body 10, so as to form the holding space 100 between the holding member 42 and the charging dock body 10; and

[0156] (b) The power-requiring device is placed in the holding space 100 so that the power supply surface 101 of the charging base body 10 facing the holding space 100 matches the receiving coil of the power-requiring device 2000 to charge the power-requiring device 2000.
