[0001] This application belongs to the field of charging equipment technology, specifically relating to an electronic device and a charging dock. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing popularity of mobile devices, users' demands for battery life are growing daily. Currently, mobile devices can be charged wirelessly without a charging cable, improving convenience and water resistance during the charging process.

[0003] However, although wireless charging has been widely used in mobile devices, its charging efficiency is still slower than that of wired charging; and no effective solution has yet been proposed to address this problem. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application aims to provide an electronic device and a charging dock to solve the technical problem of low charging efficiency in wireless charging in related technologies.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application is implemented as follows:

[0006] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application propose an electronic device, which includes: the electronic device includes at least one wire group, the wire group includes multiple wires arranged side by side, and the two ends of the wire group correspond to a first end and a second end of the electronic device, respectively;

[0007] In this configuration, when the electronic device is in the deployed state, the wire groups are arranged side by side;

[0008] When the electronic device is folded into a ring shape and the first end of the electronic device is connected to the second end of the electronic device, the two ends of each wire in the wire group are connected one-to-one so that the wire group is folded into a tubular charging coil.

[0009] When the electronic device is folded into a ring shape and fitted around the outer periphery of the first charging part of the charging base, the wire assembly is opposite to the transmitting coil in the first charging part, and the wire assembly is located within the induction area of ​​the transmitting coil.

[0010] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a charging dock for use in the electronic device of the first aspect; the charging dock includes: a first charging unit;

[0011] The first charging section is equipped with a transmitting coil, which is tubular in shape.

[0012] When the electronic device is folded into a ring shape and fitted around the outer periphery of the first charging unit, the wire assembly is opposite to the transmitting coil in the first charging unit, and the wire assembly is located within the induction zone of the transmitting coil.

[0013] The electronic device in this embodiment includes at least one wire group, which comprises multiple wires arranged side-by-side. The two ends of the wire group correspond to a first end and a second end of the electronic device, respectively. When the electronic device is in an unfolded state, the wire group is arranged side-by-side. When the electronic device is folded into a ring shape and the first end is connected to the second end, the two ends of each wire in the wire group are connected one-to-one, so that the wire group is folded into a tubular charging coil. Simultaneously, when the electronic device is folded into the ring shape and fitted onto the outer periphery of the first charging section of the charging base, the wire group is opposite to the transmitting coil in the first charging section, and the wire group is located within the induction area of ​​the transmitting coil. This allows the wire group to be directly opposite the transmitting coil in the first charging section, maximizing the overlap area between the wire group and the transmitting coil, thus improving charging efficiency.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0035] The electronic device provided in the embodiments of this application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] Figures 1 to 4 A schematic diagram illustrating a possible structure of the electronic device provided in the embodiments of this application.

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the electronic device includes: at least one wire group 210, the wire group including multiple wires arranged side by side, the two ends of the wire group corresponding to the first end and the second end of the electronic device, respectively;

[0038] In this configuration, when the electronic device is in the deployed state, the wire groups are arranged side by side;

[0039] When the electronic device is folded into a ring state (i.e. folded into a tube shape) and the first end of the electronic device is connected to the second end of the electronic device, the two ends of each wire in the wire group are connected one-to-one so that the wire group is folded into a tubular charging coil.

[0040] When the electronic device is folded into a ring shape and fitted onto the outer periphery of the first charging section of the charging base 110, the wire assembly 210 is aligned with the transmitting coil 121 in the first charging section, and the wire assembly is located within the induction zone of the transmitting coil (see reference). Figure 5 and Figure 8 ).

[0041] It is understandable that when conductor groups are arranged side by side, the two ends of each conductor in the conductor group are not connected, that is, the conductor group can be a sheet-like structure.

[0042] It is understandable that the transmitting coil in the first charging section is tubular.

[0043] For example, please refer to Figure 1 This is an exploded view of the electronic device in its unfolded state. Figure 1 In the middle, the conductor group 210 is arranged side by side as a sheet structure, please refer to Figure 2 When the electronic device is folded into a ring state, the wire assembly 210 can be folded into a tubular shape.

[0044] The electronic device provided in this application embodiment has a wire group arranged side by side when the electronic device is in the unfolded state. When the electronic device is folded into a ring state and the first end of the electronic device is connected to the second end of the electronic device, the two ends of each wire in the wire group are connected one-to-one, so that the wire group is folded into a tubular charging coil. When the electronic device is folded into a ring state and fitted on the outer periphery of the first charging part of the charging base, the wire group is opposite to the transmitting coil in the first charging part, and the wire group is located within the induction area of ​​the transmitting coil. In this way, without the user having to manually align the electronic device with the charging base, the overlap area between the tubular wire group and the transmitting coil in the first charging part of the charging base is maximized, thereby achieving high-efficiency and high-power charging of the electronic device.

[0045] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, each wire in the above-mentioned wire group is provided with a first connector and a second connector at both ends; the first connector and the second connector are adapted to each other.

[0046] When the electronic device is folded into a ring shape and the first end of the electronic device is connected to the second end of the electronic device, the first connector of each wire in the wire group is connected to the corresponding second connector.

[0047] It is understood that when the first connector is connected to the corresponding second connector, the wire group 210 is tubular and has the function of receiving coil during the charging process.

[0048] It is understood that the receiving coil may include a single input and a single output, supporting wireless charging in hardware.

[0049] For example, the first connector and the second connector can be snapped together, for example, the first connector and the second connector can be coupled together by a male and female connector, so that the wire assembly 210 can be folded into a tubular shape.

[0050] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the above-mentioned electronic device further includes a first magnetic element and a second magnetic element that can attract each other;

[0051] The first magnetic component and the second magnetic component are respectively disposed at the first end and the second end of the electronic device, so that when the electronic device is folded from the unfolded state to the ring state, the first connector of each wire in the wire group is quickly connected to the corresponding second connector under the attraction of the first magnetic component and the second magnetic component.

[0052] For example, the first magnetic element 211 and the second magnetic element may be permanent magnets.

[0053] It can be understood that when the electronic device is folded from an unfolded state to a ring state, under the attraction of the first magnetic element 211 and the second magnetic element, the first connector of each wire in the wire group 210 is connected to the corresponding second connector, thereby causing the wire group 210 to fold into a tubular shape.

[0054] It can be understood that the position of the first magnetic element 211 at the first end corresponds to the second magnetic position at the second end, so that when the electronic device is folded from the unfolded state to the ring state, the first connector of each wire in the wire group 210 is quickly connected to the corresponding second connector.

[0055] For example, the position of the first magnetic element 211 at the first end and the second magnetic position at the second end can be directly opposite each other.

[0056] For example, multiple first magnetic elements 211 at the first end and multiple second magnetic elements at the second end can be provided, and the number of first magnetic elements 211 and second magnetic elements can be the same or different.

[0057] For example, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 The first magnetic element 211 at the first end is shown, and the number of first magnetic elements is three.

[0058] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the number of the above-mentioned conductor groups is two, namely the first conductor group and the second conductor group.

[0059] When the electronic device is fitted around the outer periphery of the first charging unit, the electronic device is also fitted around the outer periphery of the second charging unit of the charging base. The position of the first wire group corresponds to the position of the transmitting coil of the first charging unit, and the position of the second wire group corresponds to the position of the transmitting coil of the second charging unit.

[0060] It is understood that when the charging dock includes a first charging part and a second charging part, when the charging dock charges an electronic device, the ring-shaped electronic device can be fitted around the outer periphery of the first charging part and the second charging part (for example, the electronic device can fit against the outer periphery of the first charging part and the outer periphery of the second charging part).

[0061] It is understandable that the transmitting coil in the second charging section is tubular.

[0062] For example, the first wire group and the second wire group can be disposed near opposite sides of the electronic device. For instance, the first wire group is disposed near the left side of the electronic device, and the second wire group is disposed near the right side of the electronic device.

[0063] When the charging dock includes a first charging section and a second charging section, when an electronic device is placed on the charging dock for charging, the first wire group can be aligned with the transmitting coil in the first charging section, and the second wire group can be aligned with the transmitting coil in the second charging section. Therefore, compared to the case where the charging dock only includes the first charging section, the charging efficiency of the charging dock (i.e., the charging dock including both charging sections) for charging electronic devices is twice that of the charging dock that only includes the first charging section.

[0064] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, along the first direction, the length of the electronic device is L1, and the length of the wire group is L2, with L2 being slightly smaller than L1, so that when the electronic device is folded from the unfolded state to the ring state, the two ends of the wire group are flush with the first end and the second end, respectively.

[0065] The first direction is from the first end of the electronic device to the second end of the electronic device.

[0066] It is understood that, along the first direction, the relationship between L2 and L1 satisfies the condition that when the electronic device is folded from an unfolded state to a ring state, the two ends of the wire assembly 210 are flush with the first end and the second end, respectively. This allows the first space formed between the electronic device, the first charging unit, and the second charging unit to be relatively sealed during charging.

[0067] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the electronic device further includes a shielding component, which includes a first shielding component and a second shielding component. One side of the first shielding component and one side of the second shielding component are rotatably connected to the first end and the second end, respectively; the other side of the first shielding component and the other side of the second shielding component are detachably connected to the first end and the second end, respectively.

[0068] In the case where both sides of the first shielding member and both sides of the second shielding member are connected to the electronic device with baffles, the two ends of the wire group are shielded by the first shielding member and the second shielding member, respectively.

[0069] With both sides of the first shielding member and the second shielding member separated from the electronic device, both ends of the wire assembly are exposed.

[0070] It is understandable that when the electronic device is not charging, the first and second shielding members respectively shield both ends of the wire assembly 210 to prevent wear and tear on the ends of the wire assembly 210 during use, thus avoiding any impact on the charging effect. When charging the electronic device is required, the user can remove the detachable connection sides of the first and second shielding members to expose both ends of the wire assembly 210. Therefore, when the electronic device is folded from its unfolded state to a ring state, the two ends of the wire assembly 210 can be connected, allowing the wire assembly 210 to fold into a tubular shape.

[0071] For example, the first and second shielding members can be made of flexible and deformable materials, such as silicone, so that when the electronic device is folded from an unfolded state to a ring state, the first and fourth ends of the electronic device can fit together tightly.

[0072] Optionally, in the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 4 As shown, the aforementioned electronic device also includes a housing and an acoustic module.

[0073] The casing has a first cavity.

[0074] The acoustic module includes a loudspeaker 213 and a movable plate 214, with the first cavity divided into two chambers by the loudspeaker.

[0075] One of the two chambers (i.e., the front chamber of the electronic device) is provided with a sound outlet 220, and the other chamber (i.e., the rear chamber of the electronic device) is provided with a first through hole 215. A first elastic element is provided on the first cavity opposite to the first through hole, and the movable plate is connected to the first elastic element 216.

[0076] Specifically, when the movable plate is subjected to pressure in the direction of the first elastic element, and the pressure causes the first elastic element to deform, the movable plate separates from the first through hole. When the pressure is removed, under the action of the elastic restoring force of the first elastic element, the movable plate reconnects with the first through hole to seal the first through hole.

[0077] It should be noted that the aforementioned pressure (i.e., the pressure on the movable plate in the direction of the first elastic member) can be provided by the charging base.

[0078] Specifically, the mating relationship between the first through-hole 215 of the electronic device and the charging dock is described in the charging dock section below.

[0079] For example, refer to Figure 4 A front cavity seal 221 (e.g., sealing foam) can be provided between the speaker 213 and the front cavity to seal the speaker 213 and the front cavity; a rear cavity seal 222 (e.g., sealing foam) can be provided between the movable plate 214 and the first through hole 215 to seal the movable plate 214 and the first through hole 215.

[0080] For example, the first elastic element may be a spring or a leaf spring, etc.

[0081] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the electronic device further includes N mid-frame modules, where N is a positive integer greater than 1; the mid-frame module includes at least one of a cover plate 217, a first circuit board 218, and a carrier plate 219; the wire group is disposed on the carrier plate; each pair of adjacent mid-frame modules in the N mid-frame modules is hinged together.

[0082] Thus, since each pair of adjacent mid-frame modules in the N mid-frame modules is hinged, the electronic device can be easily folded from an unfolded state to a ring state.

[0083] It is understood that at least the display screen corresponding to the hinge point of the electronic device is a flexible screen, or the entire display screen of the electronic device is a flexible screen.

[0084] For example, there are N carrier plates 219 and M first circuit boards 218, where M is a positive integer greater than 1 and less than or equal to N. The first circuit boards 218 are electrically connected to each other and can be fixed on the carrier plate 219 respectively. Then, the cover plate 217 covers the side of the first circuit board 218 away from the carrier plate 219.

[0085] For example, the cover plate 217 can be one or N. If it is one, it can be understood that the cover plate 217 can be a flexible steel plate with deformation function, which can be folded into a ring.

[0086] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 In this design, there are eight cover plates 217, eight first circuit boards 218, and eight carrier plates 219. A wire group 210 is set on the carrier plate 219. On the side of the wire group 210 away from the carrier plate 219, there are steel sheets for supporting the display screen and the display screen in sequence.

[0087] It is understood that the aforementioned front and rear cavities can be located in the middle frame module, for example, on the support plate 219.

[0088] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, there is a groove between the target devices in each pair of adjacent middle frame modules, and the groove gradually increases in size along the second direction; a second elastic element is provided in the groove.

[0089] When the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the second elastic element is in a stretched state to fill the groove. When the electronic device is in the folded state, the second elastic element is in a compressed state to facilitate folding of the electronic device.

[0090] The second direction is the direction perpendicular to the target device.

[0091] The target device is at least one of the following: cover plate, carrier plate, and first circuit board.

[0092] Please continue reading. Figure 1 and Figure 3 , Figure 1 In the middle, there is a groove 223 between two adjacent carrier plates 219 (i.e., target devices), which is combined Figure 1 and Figure 3 As can be seen, the groove gradually increases in size from top to bottom. A second elastic element can be installed in the groove. When the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the second elastic element is in a stretched state to fill the groove and has a dustproof function. When the electronic device is in the folded state, the second elastic element is in a compressed state to make the electronic device easy to fold.

[0093] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, when the electronic device is sleeved on the outer periphery of the first charging part of the charging base, the first charging part blocks part of the first through hole 215.

[0094] It is understandable that the first charging unit partially blocks the through hole 215, thereby allowing the first through hole 215 to communicate with the aforementioned first space (i.e., the space formed between the electronic device, the first charging unit, and the second charging unit). This connects the rear cavity with the first space, significantly increasing the volume of the rear cavity and enabling the electronic device to be used as a speaker. Simultaneously, since the sound outlet channel of the charging dock can communicate with the sound outlet of the electronic device, the electronic device can be used as a speaker in this configuration, improving the external sound quality.

[0095] It is understandable that when a user wants to connect an electronic device to the charging dock and use it as a speaker, as long as the electronic device is in contact with the protrusions of the first and second charging parts respectively, it can be used as a speaker regardless of whether the charging dock is charging the electronic device.

[0096] This application also provides a charging dock.

[0097] Figures 5 to 11 This is a schematic diagram of a possible structure for a charging dock provided in an embodiment of this application. This charging dock can be applied to the electronic device in any of the above embodiments.

[0098] like Figure 5 As shown, the charging dock includes a first charging section; the first charging section is provided with a transmitting coil, which is tubular.

[0099] When the electronic device is folded into a ring shape and fitted around the outer periphery of the first charging unit, the wire assembly is opposite to the transmitting coil in the first charging unit, and the wire assembly is located within the induction zone of the transmitting coil.

[0100] For example, combined Figure 5 ,like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the first charging unit may include a support base 110 and a boss 120. The boss 120 is disposed on the support base 110, and a transmitting coil 121 is disposed inside the boss 120. The transmitting coil 121 is tubular.

[0101] The target area of ​​the support base 110 is used to place electronic equipment, and the target area is the area excluding the area where the boss 120 is located.

[0102] When the charging dock charges the electronic device, the electronic device is fitted around the outer periphery of the boss 120. The wire assembly of the electronic device is tubular and is opposite to the transmitting coil 121. The wire assembly is located within the sensing area of ​​the transmitting coil 121 in the first charging part.

[0103] It should be noted that the above-mentioned electronic device being sleeved on the outer periphery of the first charging part of the charging base can be: the electronic device being sleeved on the outer periphery of the boss 120 (for example, the electronic device part is attached to the outer periphery of the boss 120).

[0104] It should be noted that the transmitting coil in the first charging section is the same as the transmitting coil inside the boss 120.

[0105] It is understandable that when an electronic device is placed on a charging dock, it can be folded into a ring shape, and the wire assembly of the electronic device is folded into a tubular charging coil. The wire assembly is a receiving coil corresponding to the transmitting coil 121, thereby realizing the wireless charging function.

[0106] It is understood that when an electronic device is placed on a charging dock, at least a portion of the electronic device can be folded into a tubular shape, and this at least a portion of the electronic device corresponds to the area of ​​the electronic device's wire assembly; or the entire electronic device can be folded into a tubular shape.

[0107] It is understandable that when the charging dock charges the electronic device, the electronic device can be fitted onto the outer periphery of the protrusion 120, either in close contact with the outer periphery of the protrusion 120 or with a gap, as long as the folded tubular wire assembly of the electronic device is opposite to the transmitting coil 121 and located within the sensing area of ​​the transmitting coil 121. In this way, the overlap area between the wire assembly and the transmitting coil 121 is maximized without the user needing to manually align the electronic device with the charging dock, thereby improving charging efficiency.

[0108] It is understandable that the outer diameter of the boss 120 is smaller than the outer diameter of the support base 110, in order to facilitate the placement of electronic equipment.

[0109] For example, the support base 110 and the boss 120 can be circular, rectangular, square, or other possible shapes. The shape of the support base 110 and the shape of the boss 120 can be the same or different.

[0110] Please see Figures 5 to 7 , Figure 5 This diagram illustrates the charging dock charging an electronic device. Figure 6 An exploded view of the charging dock charging an electronic device is shown. Figure 5 and Figure 6 In the design, both the charging base and the boss 120 are circular. The electronic device is folded into a tube shape. The folded electronic device can be placed on the charging base and fits against the boss 120. Furthermore, the wire assembly of the electronic device is aligned with the transmitting coil 121 inside the boss 120, thereby enabling the charging base to charge the electronic device.

[0111] For example, "the wire group is opposite to the transmitting coil 121" means that the wire group is directly opposite the transmitting coil 121, or at least a portion of the wire group is opposite the transmitting coil 121.

[0112] In this context, "the wire assembly is directly opposite the transmitting coil 121" means that one side of the wire assembly is directly opposite the transmitting coil 121, or the center of the wire assembly is directly opposite the center of the transmitting coil 121. In this case, the overlap area between the wire assembly and the transmitting coil 121 is maximized, thereby improving charging efficiency.

[0113] Please see Figure 7 and Figure 8 , Figure 7 This is an exploded view of the charging dock. Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the charging status of an electronic device using a charging dock. (Combined with...) Figure 7 and Figure 8 In the design, the transmitting coil 121 is cylindrical and is located inside the boss 120. Both the boss 120 and the transmitting coil 121 are perpendicular to the charging base. Thus, when the charging base charges the electronic device, the wire assembly of the electronic device can also be perpendicular to the charging base, so that the wire assembly can be aligned with the transmitting coil 121.

[0114] The charging dock provided in this embodiment features a tubular transmitting coil within its protrusion. When the charging dock charges an electronic device, the electronic device fits snugly against the outer periphery of the protrusion, and its conductive wires are tubular, positioned opposite the transmitting coil and within the coil's induction area. This eliminates the need for the user to manually align the electronic device with the charging dock, maximizing the overlap between the tubular conductive wires and the transmitting coil, thus achieving high-efficiency and high-power charging of the electronic device.

[0115] Optionally, in the embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 8 The aforementioned boss 120 also includes a support tube 122.

[0116] The transmitting coil 121 is sleeved on the outer wall of the support tube 122, or the transmitting coil 121 is sleeved on the inner wall of the support tube 122.

[0117] For example, the transmitting coil 121 can be sleeved on the outer wall of the support tube 122, so that when the charging base charges the electronic device, the transmitting coil 121 is closer to the electronic device than when the transmitting coil 121 is disposed on the inner wall of the support tube 122, which can improve the charging efficiency.

[0118] Further optionally, in this embodiment of the application, since the transmitting coil will heat up during the charging process of the charging dock for the electronic device, the charging dock also includes an exhaust mechanism in order to cool down the transmitting coil.

[0119] The support tube 122 includes a third end and a fourth end. The third end is away from the support base 110, and the fourth end is connected to the support base 110.

[0120] The exhaust mechanism 123 is located inside the support pipe 122 and is used to accelerate the airflow in the support pipe 122 from the third end to the fourth end.

[0121] Please continue reading. Figure 8 , Figure 8 In this design, the exhaust mechanism 123 is located inside the support tube 122. The exhaust mechanism 123 can accelerate the airflow within the support tube 122 from the upper end (i.e., the third end) to the lower end (i.e., the fourth end) of the support tube 122. In this way, the transmitting coil 121 can be quickly cooled down as the airflow moves. At the same time, since the airflow moves from the upper end to the lower end of the support tube 122, the hot airflow from the transmitting coil 121 will not be exhausted towards the electronic device above the boss 120, thus avoiding the impact of the hot airflow on the electronic device.

[0122] For example, the aforementioned transmitting coil 121 can be sleeved on the inner wall of the support tube 122, and the transmitting coil 121 can be sleeved on the outer wall of the support tube 122. When the exhaust mechanism 123 discharges the airflow in the support tube 122 from the third end to the fourth end, the cooling efficiency of the transmitting coil 121 is improved as the airflow moves.

[0123] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, a second through hole is provided on the support tube, and the transmitting coil is sleeved on the outer wall of the support tube.

[0124] It is understandable that the closer the transmitting coil is to the wire group of the electronic device, the higher the charging efficiency. Therefore, in order to improve the charging efficiency, the transmitting coil can be sleeved on the outer wall of the support tube. At the same time, the cooling and heat dissipation effect of the transmitting coil is also taken into account. Therefore, a second through hole is opened on the support tube so that the transmitting coil 121 can be cooled and dissipated through the second through hole during the operation of the exhaust mechanism.

[0125] For example, multiple second through holes can be formed, and the multiple second through holes can be evenly distributed on the wall of the support tube.

[0126] Optionally, in the embodiments of this application, combined with Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the aforementioned boss 120 also includes a cover 124.

[0127] The cover 124 is a cavity with an open end, and an air inlet 125 is provided at the bottom end of the cover 124.

[0128] The open end of the cover 124 is connected to the support base 110, and the cover 124 is sleeved on the outside of the transmitting coil 121.

[0129] It is understandable that the air inlet 125 is located on the cover 124 opposite to the opening end.

[0130] It is understandable that when the exhaust mechanism 123 discharges the airflow in the support pipe 122 from the third end to the fourth end, the airflow can pass through the air inlet 125, the third end and the fourth end in sequence before being discharged from the charging base.

[0131] It is understandable that the cover 124 has a dustproof function for the transmitting coil 121 and also a protective function to prevent the transmitting coil 121 from physical damage.

[0132] Please see Figure 6 and Figure 7 The cover 124 is fastened to the transmitting coil 121, and the air inlet 125 is located at the upper end and the opening end is located at the lower end.

[0133] For example, the cover 124 can be fixedly connected to the support base 110 or detachably connected (e.g., threaded connection or snap-fit). The detachable connection method facilitates the maintenance of the charging base.

[0134] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the exhaust mechanism 123 includes a cooling fan; the support base 110 includes a second cavity, on which an exhaust port 126 is provided; the second cavity is connected to the support tube 122; the cooling fan is used to accelerate the airflow in the support tube 122 and move from the third end toward the exhaust port 126.

[0135] For example, the cooling fan may be located inside the support tube 122.

[0136] It is understandable that when the exhaust mechanism 123 discharges the airflow in the support tube 122 from the third end to the fourth end, the airflow will enter the second cavity connected to the support tube 122 after passing the fourth end, and then be discharged from the charging base through the exhaust port 126 on the second cavity.

[0137] For example, multiple exhaust ports 126 can be provided on the second cavity. Specifically, the multiple exhaust ports 126 can be evenly distributed on the side wall of the support base 110 to facilitate the airflow to be discharged from the support tube 122.

[0138] Optionally, in the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 7 As shown, the support base 110 also includes a second circuit board 127 and a third cavity, with the second circuit board 127 disposed in the third cavity.

[0139] The transmitting coil 121 and the exhaust mechanism 123 are electrically connected to the second circuit board 127.

[0140] For example, the third cavity may be located on the side of the second cavity away from the support tube 122.

[0141] Please see Figure 8 , Figure 8 In the middle, the support tube 122, the second cavity and the third cavity are arranged sequentially from top to bottom.

[0142] For example, a bottom cover 128 may be provided on the side of the third cavity away from the second cavity to protect the second circuit board 127 inside the third cavity.

[0143] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the support base 110 is provided with a power supply terminal for connecting to an external power source, and the power supply terminal is electrically connected to the second circuit board 127.

[0144] For example, the power supply terminal may be located on the side wall of the support base 110, or on the side of the support base 110 facing the electronic device (i.e., the side facing the boss 120).

[0145] Please see Figure 6 , Figure 6 The power supply end is located on the side wall of the support base 110, which makes it convenient for users to place the charging cable during the charging process.

[0146] Optionally, in the embodiments of this application, Figure 11 As shown, the charging base also includes a support base, a pressure rod 111, and a hinge; a first charging part is disposed on the support base; a mounting hole 131 is provided on the first charging part, and the pressure rod is connected to the side wall of the mounting hole through the hinge.

[0147] In the case where the electronic device is not fitted onto the outer periphery of the first charging unit, the end of the pressure rod away from the support is located inside the mounting hole; at least a portion of the end of the pressure rod near the support extends out of the mounting hole.

[0148] When the electronic device is fitted around the outer periphery of the first charging part, the hinge is in an elastic deformation state, at least part of the end of the pressure rod away from the support extends out of the mounting hole and presses against the movable plate in the electronic device so that the movable plate separates from the first through hole in the electronic device; the end of the pressure rod near the support is located in the mounting hole.

[0149] It should be noted that the structure of the support base in this embodiment may be the same as or different from the structure of the support base in the above embodiments.

[0150] For example, if the structure of the support base in this embodiment is the same as the structure of the support base in the above embodiments, refer to Figure 11 The aforementioned mounting hole 131 can be formed on the side wall of the aforementioned cover 124.

[0151] The following describes the solution of this application by taking the example that the structure of the support base in this embodiment is the same as that in the above embodiments.

[0152] For example, the mounting hole may be provided on the side wall of the cover 124 of the boss on the support.

[0153] The electronic device is not fitted onto the outer periphery of the first charging part, which can be when the electronic device is not attached to the outer periphery of the boss 120.

[0154] The electronic device is fitted around the outer periphery of the first charging part, which can be: the electronic device is attached to the outer periphery of the boss 120.

[0155] In this embodiment, the mounting hole and the transmitting coil 121 can be in a non-connected state or a connected state.

[0156] In one example, a baffle is provided between the mounting hole and the transmitting coil 121, so that the mounting hole and the transmitting coil 121 are not connected, in order to prevent the pressure rod 111 from colliding with the transmitting coil 121 during the movement.

[0157] Please see Figure 9 , Figure 9 This is a diagram showing the electronic device not being attached to the outer periphery of the boss 120. Figure 9 In the middle, the upper end of the pressure rod 111 (that is, the end of the pressure rod 111 away from the support base 110) is located in the mounting hole, and the lower end of the pressure rod 111 (that is, the end of the pressure rod 111 close to the support base 110) extends out of the mounting hole.

[0158] Please see Figure 8 , Figure 8 This is a diagram showing the state of the electronic device being attached to the outer periphery of the boss 120. Figure 8 In the middle, the hinge is in an elastic deformation state, the upper end of the pressure rod 111 extends out of the mounting hole, and the lower end of the pressure rod 111 is located in the mounting hole.

[0159] In this way, when the electronic device is charging, the upper end of the pressure rod 111 can press against the corresponding area of ​​the electronic device, causing the corresponding area to deform.

[0160] It is understandable that when the user removes the electronic device from the charging dock, under the action of the elastic restoring force of the hinge, the upper end of the pressure rod 111 returns to the mounting hole, and the lower end of the pressure rod 111 extends out of the mounting hole.

[0161] Optionally, in the embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 8 The aforementioned mounting hole extends to the support base 110; a sound outlet channel 129 is provided on the support base 110 near the mounting hole, which is used to communicate with the sound outlet of the electronic device.

[0162] It can be understood that the two ends of the electronic device are folded to make the electronic device tubular. The sound outlet of the electronic device is located at either end of the two ends, and a folded gap is formed between the two ends. When the electronic device is placed on the charging dock for charging, the gap is connected to the sound outlet channel 129, so that the sound from the sound outlet can be amplified by the sound outlet channel 129.

[0163] For example, the sound outlet channel can be groove-shaped.

[0164] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the charging dock further includes a second charging unit.

[0165] The second charging section has the same structure as the first charging section.

[0166] The second charging unit is connected to the first charging unit via a lifting mechanism 130.

[0167] The first charging section is opposite to the second charging section.

[0168] The second circuit board of the first charging unit is electrically connected to the second circuit board of the second charging unit.

[0169] It should be noted that the above-mentioned electronic device is sleeved on the outer periphery of the first charging part and the second charging part, which can be: the electronic device is sleeved on the outer periphery of the boss of the first charging part and the boss of the second charging part.

[0170] For example, the first charging unit and the second charging unit are opposite each other, which can be: the boss 120 of the first charging unit is opposite to the boss 120 of the second charging unit.

[0171] It is understood that when the charging base includes a first charging section and a second charging section, when the annular electronic device is fitted (e.g., attached) to the outer periphery of the first and second charging sections, the first through hole 215 in the electronic device is located at a position corresponding to the mounting hole, the hinge is in an elastic deformation state, and the end of the pressure rod away from the support extends out of the corresponding mounting hole; the end of the pressure rod near the support is located in the corresponding mounting hole. That is, the end of the pressure rod away from the support can provide pressure A (i.e., the pressure on the movable plate in the direction of the first elastic member).

[0172] Please see Figure 8 , Figure 8 This is a diagram showing the state where the electronic device and the corresponding charging unit are in contact. Figure 8 In the process, the hinge is in an elastic deformation state, and the upper end of the pressure rod extends out of the corresponding mounting hole. Thus, the pressure rod can press against the movable plate 214. Under the pressure of the upper end of the pressure rod, the first elastic element 216 deforms, and the movable plate 214 separates from the first through hole 215. When the user removes the electronic device from the charging dock, the pressure at the upper end of the pressure rod is released. Under the elastic restoring force of the first elastic element 216, the movable plate 214 connects with the first through hole 215 to seal the first through hole 215.

[0173] It is understood that in the embodiments of this application, when the charging dock charges the electronic device, the electronic device can fit against the outer periphery of the protrusion 120 of the first charging part and the outer periphery of the protrusion 120 of the second charging part.

[0174] It is understandable that when the aforementioned electronic device is fitted around the outer periphery of the first charging part of the charging dock (for example, when the electronic device is fitted around the outer periphery of the first charging part and the second charging part), the first charging part partially blocks the through hole 215. This can be achieved by the protrusion of the first charging part blocking the through hole 215 of the first charging hole 215, thereby allowing the rear cavity of the aforementioned electronic device to communicate with the aforementioned first space (i.e., the space formed between the electronic device, the first charging part, and the second charging part), greatly increasing the volume of the rear cavity. Simultaneously, since the sound outlet channel of the charging dock can communicate with the sound outlet of the electronic device, in this case, when the electronic device is used as a speaker, the external sound quality is improved.

[0175] It is understandable that when a user wants to connect an electronic device to the charging dock and use it as a speaker, as long as the electronic device is in contact with the protrusions of the first and second charging parts respectively, it can be used as a speaker regardless of whether the charging dock is charging the electronic device.

[0176] It is understood that in the embodiments of this application, the wire group in the electronic device may include wire group A (e.g., the first wire group mentioned above) and wire group B (e.g., the second wire group mentioned above). When the electronic device is placed on the charging dock for charging (i.e., the annular electronic device is sleeved on the outer periphery of the first charging part and the second charging part), wire group A may be opposite to the transmitting coil 121 in the protrusion 120 of the first charging part, and wire group B may be opposite to the transmitting coil 121 in the protrusion 120 of the second charging part. Thus, compared to the case where the charging dock only includes the first charging part, the charging efficiency is twice that of the charging dock that only includes the first charging part.

[0177] For example, the wire between the first charging unit and the second charging unit may be provided in the lifting mechanism 130.

[0178] For example, the lifting mechanism can be a screw lifting mechanism, an electric push rod lifting mechanism, or other possible lifting mechanisms.

[0179] Please see Figure 10 The first charging section and the second charging section are located at both ends of the lifting mechanism 130, respectively. The first charging section is located below the second charging section, and there is a gap between the first charging section and the second charging section.

[0180] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the charging dock further includes a control unit;

[0181] The charging dock is equipped with a distance detection unit, which is used to detect the distance between the target charging unit and the electronic device. The target charging unit includes at least one of a first charging unit and a second charging unit.

[0182] The control unit is used to control the target charging unit to move toward the electronic device via the lifting mechanism 130 according to the distance (i.e., the distance between the target charging unit and the electronic device detected by the distance detection unit), so that the target charging unit and the electronic device are closely fitted together.

[0183] For example, the control unit may be located in the first charging section or the second charging section.

[0184] For example, the distance detection unit may employ a distance sensor, such as an infrared distance sensor.

[0185] It is understandable that when a user needs to charge an electronic device, the user first folds the electronic device into a tubular shape (i.e., a ring shape), and then places part of the tubular electronic device onto the first charging unit. The distance detection unit can then detect the distance A between the first charging unit and the electronic device, and the distance B between the second charging unit and the electronic device. If either distance A or distance B is greater than 0, the control unit controls at least one of the first and second charging units to move toward the electronic device through the lifting mechanism 130 until both distance A and distance B between the first and second charging units and the electronic device are 0. This indicates that the first and second charging units are in close contact with the electronic device, thereby achieving maximum overlap between the lead wire group A and lead wire group B and the generating coil in the corresponding boss 120.

[0186] Of course, the electronic device can also be manually fitted onto the protrusions 120 of the first and second charging parts, so that the first and second charging parts are tightly fitted to the electronic device.

[0187] It should be noted that the electronic devices in the embodiments of this application may include mobile electronic devices and non-mobile electronic devices. For example, mobile electronic devices may be mobile terminal devices, such as mobile phones, tablets, laptops, PDAs, in-vehicle electronic devices, wearable devices, ultra-mobile personal computers (UMPCs), netbooks, or personal digital assistants (PDAs), etc., while non-mobile electronic devices may be non-mobile terminal devices, such as servers, network attached storage (NAS), personal computers (PCs), etc., and the embodiments of this application do not specifically limit them.
