[0037] Figures 1 to 5 A structural schematic diagram of a wireless charging device of an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. As shown in the figure, Figures 1 to 5 The present disclosure provides a wireless charging device, which comprises:

[0038] A housing 1 having an opening at the top;

[0039] A tilting mechanism 2 movably mounted in the housing 1, the top of the tilting mechanism 2 being formed with a charging placement position 21, the charging placement position 21 being arranged corresponding to the opening, the tilting mechanism 2 being capable of rotating relative to the housing 1 to make the charging placement position 21 in a first state and a second state, wherein the first state and the second state are different;

[0040] A charging mechanism 3 fixedly mounted in the tilting mechanism 2.

[0041] The wireless charging device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can ensure the stability and safety of the mobile phone during wireless charging in the process of vehicle travel, and prevent the mobile phone from flying out due to road bumps, by installing the tilting mechanism 2 capable of rotating relative to the shell 1 in the shell 1, so that the charging placement position 21 at the top of the tilting mechanism 2 can be in different states. After the charging is completed, the state of the charging placement position 21 can be switched to facilitate the user to take out the mobile phone, and the comfort experience of the user in the process of vehicle travel is improved.

[0042] In some embodiments, the wireless charging device further comprises a charging cover plate 4 arranged on one side of the charging placement position 21, as shown in Figure 1 When the charging placement position 21 is in the first state, the charging placement position 21 is inclined relative to the charging cover plate 4 and cooperates with the side wall of the shell 1 to form a sunken structure, so as to ensure the stability of the mobile phone during charging. Figure 2 When the charging placement position 21 is in the first state, the charging placement position 21 is flush with the top of the charging cover plate 4 to form a horizontal structure, which facilitates the user to take out the mobile phone from the charging placement position 21.

[0043] In the present embodiment, the charging placement position 21 and the charging cover plate 4 are used as the appearance decoration components of the whole vehicle, and different textures can be set according to different needs (for example, a friction pattern is arranged on the charging placement position 21 to further ensure the safety of the mobile phone and facilitate the user to touch and place, without the need to specially watch the charging placement position 21), which can also improve the seniority of the vehicle interior and further improve the use comfort of the user. In addition, the wireless charging device can be linked with other functions of the whole vehicle to create a whole vehicle technology atmosphere, such as automatic lighting of the atmosphere lamp after parking, which improves the luxury and ritual sense of the interior.

[0044] As shown in Figure 3 In the present embodiment, the charging mechanism 3 is fixedly connected with the tilting mechanism 2 through the fastener 5 (such as a bolt), and the charging mechanism 3 is arranged below the charging placement position 21 to improve the wireless charging efficiency.

[0045] In the present embodiment, as shown in Figures 1 to 3 The tilting mechanism 2 is movably installed on the side wall of the shell 1 through the cooperation of the first rotating shaft 61 and the first shaft hole 62. The opposite two side walls of the tilting mechanism 2 are respectively provided with the first rotating shaft 61, and the corresponding opposite two side walls of the shell 1 and the tilting mechanism 2 are provided with the first shaft hole 62. The first rotating shaft 61 is arranged in the first shaft hole 62, and the rotation of the first rotating shaft 61 along the first shaft hole 62 can drive the tilting mechanism 2 to rotate relative to the shell 1.

[0046] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1 to 3 , and Figure 5As shown, the wireless charging device also includes a drive mechanism 7 for driving the tilting mechanism 2 to rotate. The drive mechanism 7 includes:

[0047] The drive motor 71 is fixed inside the housing 1;

[0048] The push rod 72 is connected to the output shaft 711 of the drive motor 71 and is used to move under the drive of the drive motor 71.

[0049] Movable connecting rod 73 is located on both sides of push rod 72, with one end of movable connecting rod 63 connected to push rod 72 and the other end of movable connecting rod 62 rotatably connected to first rotating shaft 61 (sleeved on the outer periphery of first rotating shaft 61).

[0050] When the drive motor 71 rotates forward or in reverse, the drive output shaft 711 extends or retracts toward the tilting mechanism 2, and drives the push rod 72 to move toward or away from the tilting mechanism 2. The movement of the push rod 72 drives the movable connecting rod 63 to rotate, thereby driving the tilting mechanism 2 to rotate around the first rotating shaft 61, so that the tilting mechanism 2 can rotate to different states.

[0051] Furthermore, the drive mechanism 7 also includes a motor bracket 74 for mounting the drive motor 71. The motor bracket 74 is fixed inside the housing 1, and the drive motor 71 is fixedly mounted on the motor bracket 74, which facilitates the installation and fixation of the drive motor 71.

[0052] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the housing 1 is provided with a movable guide rail 11 that cooperates with the push rod 72, so that the push rod 72 can move along the movable guide rail 11, guide the movement of the push rod 72, and ensure the stable and reliable movement of the push rod 72.

[0053] Optionally, the movable guide rail 11 is a movable groove, and the push rod 72 has protrusions at both ends that cooperate with the movable groove. The push rod 72 moves smoothly along the movable guide rail 11 through the interlocking of the protrusions with the movable groove.

[0054] In some embodiments, the top of the movable guide rail 11 is provided with a limiting member 12 for limiting the movement of the push rod 72 in the vertical direction. The limiting member 12 engages and fixes the movable guide rail 11.

[0055] In some embodiments, the movable guide rail 11 is provided with a push rod buffer pad 13 for buffering the movement of the push rod 72. The push rod buffer pad 13 is preferably made of rubber. The push rod buffer pad 13 can buffer the push rod 72 when it moves to its limit position, thus preventing abnormal noise. In this embodiment, the push rod buffer pad 13 is disposed in the movable groove.

[0056] In some other embodiments, the moving guide rail 11 can also be provided as a convex structure, and concave grooves are provided at both ends of the push rod 72 to enable the push rod 72 to move along the moving guide rail 11. Meanwhile, push rod bumpers 13 can be provided in the concave grooves.

[0057] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , and Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the wireless charging device further comprises a reset mechanism 8. The tilting mechanism 2 is provided with a second rotating shaft 63, the shell 1 is provided with a second shaft hole 64 matched with the second rotating shaft 63, the second rotating shaft 63 is arranged in the second shaft hole 64 and is fixed through a shaft sleeve 65, and the reset mechanism 8 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the shaft sleeve 65.

[0058] The reset mechanism 8 can be an elastic member such as a reset spring or a reset sleeve. When the driving motor 71 rotates to drive the output shaft 711 of the driving motor 71 to extend and push the push rod 72 to move towards the tilting mechanism 2, the reset mechanism 8 is compressed to accumulate elastic force. When the driving motor 71 rotates to drive the output shaft 711 of the driving motor 71 to retract, the accumulated elastic force is released to drive the tilting mechanism 2 to rotate reversely and return to the original position.

[0059] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the wireless charging device further comprises a damping mechanism. The damping mechanism comprises a gear structure 91 and a rack structure 92 which are engaged with each other. One of the gear structure 91 and the rack structure 92 is mounted on the side wall of the tilting mechanism 2, and the other is mounted on the side wall of the shell 1.

[0060] In this embodiment, a gap is provided between the tilting mechanism 2 and the shell 1 to form a mounting space for mounting the first rotating shaft 61 and the damping mechanism, and the damping mechanism is arranged close to the first rotating shaft 61. The gear structure 91 is clamped and fixed on the inner side wall of the shell 1, and the rack structure 92 is an arc-shaped rack fixed on the side wall of the tilting mechanism 2. Through the engagement of the gear structure 91 and the rack structure 92, a certain damping force can be generated during the rotation of the tilting mechanism 2 to ensure the stability of the rotation of the tilting mechanism 2.

[0061] In this embodiment, the shaft hole is formed on the shell 1, and the rotating shaft is arranged on the tilting mechanism 2 to facilitate the arrangement of the driving mechanism 7 and the damping mechanism, and the layout is reasonable and the structure is compact. In specific implementation, the rotating shaft can also be arranged on the inner wall of the shell 1, and the shaft hole is formed on the tilting mechanism 2 to realize the rotating cooperation of the tilting mechanism 2 and the shell 1 (for example, the first rotating shaft 61 is arranged on the shell 1, and the movable connecting rod 73 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the first rotating shaft 61 arranged on the shell 1), which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0062] The embodiment of the present disclosure further provides a vehicle, which comprises the wireless charging device in the above embodiment.

[0063] The vehicle provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure corresponds to the wireless charging device in the above embodiment, and any optional item in the embodiment is also applicable to the embodiment of the vehicle, which will not be described here again.

[0064] The above description is only the preferred embodiment of the present disclosure and the explanation of the applied technical principles. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the disclosed range of the present disclosure is not limited to the technical solutions formed by the specific combination of the above technical features, and also covers other technical solutions formed by the combination of the above technical features or equivalent features without departing from the above disclosed concept.
