[0048] The clamping module and the charging module are mounted on the base. The charging module is used to charge the target device held by the clamping module. The cover is controlled to open and close by the first drive module mounted on the base, and when closed, it combines with the base to form a closed space. The first disinfection module is mounted on the side of the cover facing the base.

[0049] In some embodiments, the first drive module includes a micro motor.

[0050] In some embodiments, the first drive module drives the cover plate to slide along the first connection module.

[0051] It should be noted that the first connecting module is a movable connecting device, including a long linear bearing.

[0052] In some embodiments, the clamping module includes:

[0053] The clamping submodule is used to clamp the target device;

[0054] The position detection module is used to send a charging command to the charging module when it detects that the clamping submodule is holding the target device.

[0055] The second drive module is used to adjust the relative position between the target device and the charging module.

[0056] The clamp is used to fix the target device for charging. The size of the clamp is adjustable and can fix target devices of various sizes. The second drive module controls the clamp to move along the second connecting module within a certain range.

[0057] In some embodiments, the clamp includes:

[0058] A position detection switch is used to detect whether there is a target device on the fixture.

[0059] Specifically, a position detection switch is installed inside the initial position of the fixture. After each use, the fixture automatically returns to the initial position. When a target device to be charged is placed on the fixture, the fixture moves away from the initial position, which triggers the position detection switch, thereby detecting whether there is a target device on the fixture.

[0060] In some embodiments, the second drive module includes a micro motor.

[0061] In some embodiments, the second drive module drives the clamp to slide along the second connection module.

[0062] It should be noted that the second connecting module is a movable connecting device, including a short linear bearing.

[0063] In some embodiments, the first drive module is configured to close the cover when it detects that the clamp module is clamping the target device or when it receives a closing command; and to open the cover when it detects an opening command.

[0064] In some embodiments, the charging module includes:

[0065] The charging submodule is used to receive charging commands and charge the target device.

[0066] The current detection module is used to detect the charging current. When the detected charging current is less than the preset charging current, it sends a second adjustment command to the second drive module. When the detected charging current is zero, it sends an enable command to the first drive module.

[0067] In some embodiments, the charging submodule includes:

[0068] Wireless transmitting coil and / or wired charging interface.

[0069] Specifically, the wireless transmitting coil is used to wirelessly charge the target device. The charging signal is output through a frequency oscillation circuit, amplified by a power amplifier circuit, and then sent to the wireless transmitting coil. The wired charging interface is used to charge the target device through a wired charging interface, which includes common interfaces such as Lightning interface, MicroUSB interface, and USB Type C interface.

[0070] In some embodiments, the cover plate is used to activate all disinfection modules when closed and deactivate all disinfection modules when not closed.

[0071] In some embodiments, the cover plate includes:

[0072] The cover plate position detection submodule is used to detect the current position of the cover plate.

[0073] In some embodiments, the system further includes a second disinfection module mounted on a base.

[0074] In some embodiments, both the first disinfection module and the second disinfection module include ultraviolet LED lamps (or UV LED lamps).

[0075] Specifically, the first and second disinfection modules include ultraviolet LED lights. The first disinfection module is installed on the side of the cover facing the base. Additionally, a certain number of ultraviolet LED lights can be installed on the base and evenly arranged around the charging module. The light generated by the ultraviolet LED lights, once turned on, can directly illuminate the target device. The cover position detection submodule detects the current position of the cover. When the cover moves directly above the mobile terminal, the ultraviolet LED lights located on the back of the cover and / or on the base are activated to disinfect and sterilize the target device.

[0076] In some embodiments, the charging device of this embodiment further includes:

[0077] The sound detection module mounted on the base is used to activate the real-time sound detection state when the clamp module is detected to be holding the target device. When the target device emits sound, it sends an activation command to the first drive module.

[0078] In some embodiments, the charging device of this embodiment further includes:

[0079] The vibration detection module mounted on the base is used to activate the real-time vibration detection state when the clamping module is detected clamping the target device. When vibration is detected in the target device, an activation command is sent to the first drive module.

[0080] When the internal position switch of the fixture is triggered due to the placement of the target device, the sound detection module and vibration detection module begin to detect the sound and vibration of the target device in real time. When sound or vibration is detected in the target device, the ultraviolet LED light is turned off, the disinfection and sterilization operation is paused, and the drive cover is moved away from the top of the target device along the long linear bearing to remind the user to check the information in the target device.

[0081] In some embodiments, once the target device is fully charged, the ultraviolet LED light is turned off, the disinfection and sterilization operation is ended, and power supply to the frequency oscillation circuit and / or the wired charging interface is stopped, driving the cover plate to move away from above the target device along the long linear bearing.

[0082] In some embodiments, the device provided in this embodiment further includes a breathing light, which illuminates and flashes at a certain frequency when the target device being charged triggers a ringtone and / or vibration to remind the user.

[0083] In some embodiments, a buzzer or other voice prompt module may also be included to provide a voice reminder to the user when the target device being charged triggers a ring and / or vibration.

[0084] It should be noted that the target devices in this embodiment include mobile devices such as smartwatches, smart bracelets, smartphones, and smart tablets.

[0085] The device in this embodiment includes: a cover plate, a base, a charging module, a first disinfection module, a first drive module, and a clamping module. The clamping module and the charging module are mounted on the base. The charging module is used to charge the target device held by the clamping module. The cover plate is controlled to open and close by the first drive module mounted on the base, and when closed, it combines with the base to form a closed space. The first disinfection module is installed on the side of the cover plate facing the base. This device can disinfect and sterilize mobile devices simultaneously while they are charging, reducing the risk of viral infection for users and improving their quality of life.

[0086] Example 2

[0087] This embodiment provides a refrigerator. Figure 2 A schematic diagram of a refrigerator door panel integrating a charging device is provided as an embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 2 As shown, the refrigerator in this embodiment includes the charging device as described in Embodiment 1.

[0088] In some embodiments, the charging device is fixed to the refrigerator door panel.

[0089] In some embodiments, the cover of the charging device is concealed within the refrigerator door panel.

[0090] Specifically, the charging device is embedded in the refrigerator door and powered by the refrigerator. The cover portion of the device is hidden under the refrigerator door panel. By default or when the mobile device is charging, the cover portion moves out from under the refrigerator door panel and moves above the clamp portion of the device.

[0091] It should be noted that, in Figure 2 In the middle, the cover plate and some long linear bearings are shown in dashed lines, indicating that this part is hidden under the refrigerator door panel.

[0092] This embodiment embeds the charging device into the refrigerator door, which not only disinfects and sterilizes the mobile device while it is charging, but also reduces the risk of users contracting viruses and improves their quality of life. It also solves the technical problem of not being able to detect the information of mobile devices in a timely and effective manner in a noisy kitchen environment.

[0093] Example 3

[0094] This embodiment provides a charging method. Figure 3 A flowchart of a charging method provided in an embodiment of this application is shown below. Figure 3 As shown, the method in this embodiment includes:

[0095] S100. When the clamping module detects that it is currently clamping the target device, it sends a closing command to the first drive module and a charging command to the charging module.

[0096] S200: After receiving the shutdown command, the first drive module closes the cover.

[0097] S300: After receiving the charging command, the charging module charges the target device. At the same time, the first drive module drives the cover plate to slide along the first connecting module so that the cover plate moves directly above the target device, opening the first disinfection module and the second disinfection module to start disinfecting and sterilizing the target device.

[0098] When the charging module receives a charging command, it charges the target device and sends an activation command to the first drive module when the target device is fully charged or meets the first preset condition.

[0099] In some embodiments, the first preset condition includes:

[0100] The target device triggered a ringtone and / or vibration.

[0101] Specifically, when one or more of the following are detected: the charging current is zero, the target device triggers a ringing sound, or the target device triggers vibration, an opening command is sent to the first drive module. The first drive module then drives the cover plate to slide along the first connecting module, so that the cover plate is moved away from above the target device.

[0102] S400: The first drive module receives the start command sent by the charging module and opens the cover.

[0103] When the cover is closed, all disinfection modules are activated and begin working; when the cover is not closed, all disinfection modules are deactivated.

[0104] When the target device is fully charged or meets the preset conditions, the first and second disinfection modules are shut down, and the cover is removed from above the target device.

[0105] It should be noted that the preset conditions can be set according to the user's actual needs, and there are no restrictions here.

[0106] In this embodiment, when the clamping module detects that it is currently clamping a target device, it sends a closing command to the first drive module and a charging command to the charging module. Upon receiving the closing command, the first drive module closes the cover. Upon receiving the charging command, the charging module charges the target device and sends an opening command to the first drive module when charging is complete or preset conditions are met. The first drive module receives the opening command from the charging module and opens the cover. Specifically, when the cover is closed, all disinfection modules are activated; when the cover is open, all disinfection modules are deactivated. This allows for simultaneous disinfection and sterilization of the mobile device while it is charging, reducing the risk of viral infection for users and improving their quality of life.

[0107] Example 4

[0108] This embodiment provides another charging method. Figure 4 A flowchart of another charging method provided in the embodiments of this application is shown below. Figure 4 As shown, the method in this embodiment includes:

[0109] Obtain the charging current of the target device.

[0110] Once the target device is secured using a clamp and the clamp is detected to be on the clamp, the frequency oscillation circuit is activated and controlled to output a charging signal. This signal is then amplified by the power amplifier circuit and sent to the wireless transmitting coil. Alternatively, the wired charging interface is powered and the current value output during charging of the target device is acquired.

[0111] Determine whether the charging current meets the second preset condition.

[0112] In some embodiments, the second preset condition includes:

[0113] The charging current is the standard charging current of the target device.

[0114] If wireless charging is in progress, it is determined whether the obtained charging current has reached the standard charging current of the target device. If not, the second drive module drives the fixture carrying the target device to move along the short linear bearing, and at the same time detects the output current value. When the output current value no longer increases, it can be considered that the standard charging current of the target device has been reached, and the drive of the fixture to move is stopped and the target device is kept in its current position.

[0115] It should be noted that the position of the clamp can be manually adjusted when performing wired charging.

[0116] If the charging current meets the second preset condition, the control cover is in the first state.

[0117] In some embodiments, controlling the cover to be in a first state includes:

[0118] Open the ultraviolet LED light on the cover;

[0119] Control the cover to move directly above the target device.

[0120] Once the charging current reaches the standard charging current of the target device, the ultraviolet LED light on the cover is turned on. The first drive module drives the cover to move along the long linear bearing, so that the cover moves directly above the target device, allowing the ultraviolet LED light on the back of the cover to shine directly on the target device.

[0121] Determine whether the target device meets the first preset condition.

[0122] In some embodiments, the first preset condition includes:

[0123] The target device triggered a ringtone and / or vibration.

[0124] The sound and / or vibration of the target device are monitored by the sound detection module and / or vibration detection module. If the target device triggers a ringtone and / or vibration, it is considered that the target device meets the first preset condition.

[0125] If the target device meets the first preset condition, the control cover is in the second state.

[0126] In some embodiments, controlling the cover to be in a second state includes:

[0127] Turn off the UV LED lights on the cover;

[0128] The control cover is moved away from directly above the target device.

[0129] In some embodiments, the control cover is in a second state, and the system further includes:

[0130] Turn off the UV LED light located on the base.

[0131] When sound or vibration is detected in the target device, the ultraviolet LED light is turned off, ending the disinfection and sterilization operation. The first drive module drives the cover plate to move away from the top of the target device along the long linear bearing to remind the user to check the information in the target device.

[0132] It should be noted that the second preset condition can be set according to the user's needs, and there is no limitation here.

[0133] The system determines in real time whether the target device is fully charged. If the target device is fully charged, the control cover is in the second state.

[0134] Once the target device is fully charged, turn off the ultraviolet LED light to end the disinfection and sterilization operation. At the same time, stop supplying power to the frequency oscillation circuit and / or the wired charging interface, and drive the cover plate to move away from above the target device along the long linear bearing.

[0135] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the charging current can be monitored to determine in real time whether the target device is fully charged, and the sound detection module and / or vibration detection module can be used to monitor in real time whether the target device meets the first preset condition.

[0136] This embodiment acquires the charging current of the target device; determines whether the charging current meets a second preset condition; if the charging current meets the second preset condition, the cover is controlled to be in a first state; determines whether the target device meets the first preset condition; if the target device meets the first preset condition, the cover is controlled to be in a second state; and determines in real time whether the target device is fully charged; if the target device is fully charged, the cover is controlled to be in the second state. This allows for simultaneous disinfection and sterilization of the target device during charging, reducing the risk of viral infection for users and improving their quality of life.
