Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of wireless charging technology, and in particular to a method for manufacturing a wireless charging receiver and a neural stimulator. Background Art

[0002] Wireless charging eliminates the reliance on traditional charging cables. Electronic devices can be charged by simply placing them on the charger or bringing them close to the charger. This reduces the hassle of plugging and unplugging cables, improves the user experience, and enables electronic devices that cannot be charged by wires (such as neurostimulators implanted in the human body) to be charged remotely. Therefore, more and more electronic devices are being charged wirelessly.

[0003] The wireless charging system includes a wireless charging transmitter and a wireless charging receiver. The wireless charging transmitter is provided with a transmitting coil, and the wireless charging receiver includes a PCBA and a receiving coil. The transmitting coil generates magnetic field energy when it is energized, and the receiving coil receives the magnetic field energy and converts it into alternating current. The PCBA (Printed Circuit Board Assembly) converts the alternating current into the direct current required for charging electronic devices.

[0004] For the convenience of the following description, the following definition is made: the efficiency of the wireless charging receiver in converting the magnetic field energy generated by the transmitting coil into alternating current is called the energy conversion efficiency of the wireless charging receiver.

[0005] In order to facilitate carrying or implantation in the human body, electronic devices are now becoming smaller and smaller. As electronic devices become smaller and smaller, the receiving coils inside them are also getting smaller and smaller, which results in a decrease in the ability of the receiving coils to receive magnetic field energy, and the energy conversion efficiency of the wireless charging receiver is therefore reduced. When the energy conversion efficiency of the wireless charging receiver drops to a certain level, the wireless charging speed is extremely slow and cannot meet the user's demand for fast charging. In order to make electronic devices smaller and meet the user's demand for fast charging, it is necessary to increase the energy conversion efficiency of the wireless charging receiver as much as possible.

[0006] In a wireless charging receiver, a magnetic isolation layer is usually provided between the PCBA and the receiving coil. The magnetic isolation layer covers the PCBA, and the receiving coil is wound around the outside of the magnetic isolation layer. The magnetic isolation layer can concentrate and guide the magnetic field, play a magnetic attraction role, and enable the receiving coil to more effectively capture and utilize the magnetic field energy transmitted from the transmitting coil, thereby improving the energy conversion efficiency of the wireless charging receiver.

[0007] The inventor of the present application has found through experiments that: when other conditions remain unchanged (such as the weight of the magnetic isolation layer remains unchanged, and the relative position between the receiving coil and the transmitting coil remains unchanged), the smaller the space between the magnetic isolation layer and the receiving coil, the higher the energy conversion efficiency of the wireless charging receiver. However, in the prior art, the magnetic isolation layer is usually assembled from a plurality of die-cast magnetic isolation sheets, and the outer side of such a magnetic isolation layer is planar. When the receiving coil has a curved surface feature (for example, when the receiving coil is wound along a cylindrical spiral line into a cylindrical spiral structure), there is a large space between the magnetic isolation layer and the receiving coil, resulting in a low energy conversion efficiency of the wireless charging receiver, which is not conducive to making the electronic device smaller. Summary of the invention

[0008] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a wireless charging receiver manufacturing method and a neurostimulator to address the above problems. In the wireless charging receiver manufactured using the wireless charging receiver manufacturing method, the magnetic isolation member and each circle of the receiving coil are attached together, thereby eliminating the gap between the magnetic isolation member and each circle of the receiving coil, thereby improving the energy conversion efficiency of the wireless charging receiver.

[0009] In order to solve the above problems, the present application provides the following technical solutions:

In this way, before manufacturing the receiving coil, there is no need to manufacture an additional coil mold as the basis for winding the receiving coil. In addition, the magnetic isolation member and the PCBA can be manufactured separately. In other words, the manufacturing processes of the two are independent of each other. After the two are manufactured, the two can be assembled together, which can improve the production efficiency of the wireless charging receiver.

Moreover, the receiving coil of the desired shape can be wound by sticking to the outer wall of the magnetic isolation member. In other words, the magnetic isolation member plays the role of a coil mold. In this way, before manufacturing the receiving coil, there is no need to manufacture an additional coil mold as the basis for winding the receiving coil. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0057] This application first provides a first wireless charging receiver manufacturing method, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The wireless charging receiver manufactured by the first method for manufacturing a wireless charging receiver includes PCBA1, a magnetic shielding member 2 and a receiving coil 3. PCBA1 is used to control and adjust electrical signals. PCBA1 includes PCB11 and electronic components 12. PCB11 is provided with an installation area 111 and a connection area 112. The electronic component 12 is fixedly arranged in the installation area 111, and the connection area 112 is fixedly connected to one end of the installation area 111. The magnetic shielding member 2 is a tubular structure, and each part of the magnetic shielding member 2 is manufactured by a process of injection molding or sintering molding. The electronic component 12 and the installation area 111 are located in the magnetic shielding member 2. The receiving coil 3 includes a coil body 31 and pins connected to both ends of the coil body 31. The pins are electrically connected to the connection area 112, and the coil body 31 is tightly wound around the outer wall of the magnetic shielding member 2. The first method for manufacturing a wireless charging receiver includes the following steps:

[0058] S110, manufacturing the mold 5, and processing the side wall of the cavity 51 of the mold 5 into a shape that matches the coil body 31 to be manufactured;

[0059] S120, see Figure 5 , placing the PCBA1 part in the cavity 51, wherein the electronic components 12 and the mounting area 111 are located in the cavity 51, and the connection area 112 is located outside the cavity 51;

[0060] S130, filling the mold cavity 51 with a mixture, the mixture comprising magnetic isolation powder and a binder uniformly mixed together, the viscosity of the binder satisfying that: when the temperature is T, the position of the magnetic isolation powder remains unchanged during the natural curing process of the binder, in other words, the magnetic isolation powder always maintains a uniform distribution in the binder and does not settle; waiting for the binder to naturally cure under the environment of temperature T, after the binder is cured, the mixture forms a magnetic isolation member 2; and

[0061] S140, see Figure 4 , separate the mixture from the mold 5, see Figure 1The receiving coil 3 is wound along the outer wall of the magnetic isolation member 2, and the two ends of the receiving coil 3 are fixedly connected to the connection area 112; wherein, the part of the receiving coil 3 that is attached to the magnetic isolation member 2 forms a coil body 31, and the two ends of the receiving coil 3 form pins respectively.

[0062] The wireless charging receiver is manufactured by the first wireless charging receiver manufacturing method. No matter what the shape of the receiving coil 3 is, as long as the side wall of the cavity 51 of the mold 5 is processed into a shape that matches the receiving coil 3 in step S110, the outer wall surface of the magnetic isolation member 2 can be made into a shape that matches the receiving coil 3. After that, the receiving coil 3 is wound along the outer wall surface of the magnetic isolation member 2, so that each turn of the receiving coil 3 can be attached to the outer wall surface of the magnetic isolation member 2, thereby eliminating the gap between the magnetic isolation member 2 and each turn of the receiving coil 3, and improving the energy conversion efficiency of the wireless charging receiver. Moreover, the receiving coil 3 of the desired shape can be wound along the outer wall surface of the magnetic isolation member 2. In other words, the magnetic isolation member 2 plays the role of the coil mold 5. In this way, before manufacturing the receiving coil 3, there is no need to manufacture the coil mold 5 as a basis for winding the receiving coil 3.

[0063] Preferably, in the mixture, the mass percentage of the magnetic isolation powder is k, and k satisfies: 30%≤k≤90%. In this way, the magnetic isolation member 2 manufactured by the first wireless charging receiver manufacturing method has good magnetic attraction and magnetic isolation functions. More preferably, in order to make the magnetic isolation member 2 with a smaller size have sufficient magnetic attraction and magnetic isolation functions, k satisfies: 70%≤k≤90%.

[0064] Preferably, the magnetic isolation powder is ferrite powder, the binder is epoxy resin, 20°C≤T≤40°C; the viscosity of the binder is η, when the temperature is T, η≥1000cps. In this way, because the viscosity of the binder is high, during the natural curing process of the binder, the magnetic isolation powder always maintains a uniform distribution in the binder and does not settle.

[0065] Preferably, before step S120, the method further includes the following steps: S150, referring to Figure 3 The protective member 4 is fixedly arranged on the surface of the mounting area 111 and the electronic components 12, so that the protective member 4 completely covers the mounting area 111 and the electronic components 12. In this way, the mounting area 111 and the electronic components 12 can be protected and prevented from being adversely affected in step S130.

[0066] In some embodiments, step S150 includes the following steps: S151, pouring protective material on the surface of the mounting area 111 and the electronic components 12, and forming a protective member 4 after the protective material is cured, so that the protective member 4 can completely cover the mounting area 111 and the electronic components 12. In these embodiments, preferably, the protective material is epoxy resin or polyurethane, so that the formed protective member 4 has good insulation and moisture-proof properties, and can well protect the mounting area 111 and the electronic components 12.

[0067] In some embodiments, step S150 includes the following steps: S152, coating the surface of the mounting area 111 and the electronic components 12 with protective materials, and forming the protective member 4 after curing the protective materials, so that the protective member 4 can be made very thin, which is conducive to manufacturing a small wireless charging receiver. In these embodiments, preferably, the protective material is a three-conformal paint or parylene, so that the formed protective member 4 has good insulation and moisture-proof properties, and can well protect the mounting area 111 and the electronic components 12.

[0068] The present application secondly provides a second method for manufacturing a wireless charging receiver. The wireless charging receiver manufactured by the second method for manufacturing a wireless charging receiver includes a PCBA1, a magnetic shielding member 2 and a receiving coil 3. The PCBA1 is used to control and adjust electrical signals. The PCBA1 includes a PCB11 and an electronic component 12. The PCB11 is provided with an installation area 111 and a connection area 112. The electronic component 12 is fixedly arranged in the installation area 111, and the connection area 112 is fixedly connected to one end of the installation area 111. The magnetic shielding member 2 is a tubular structure. The magnetic shielding member 2 is composed of two shell-like bodies. The two shell-like bodies are fixedly connected together and jointly enclose a receiving cavity. The electronic component 12 and the installation area 111 are located in the magnetic shielding member 2. The receiving coil 3 includes a coil body 31 and pins connected to both ends of the coil body 31. The pins are electrically connected to the connection area 112. The coil body 31 is tightly wound around the outer wall of the magnetic shielding member 2. The second method for manufacturing a wireless charging receiver includes the following steps:

[0069] S210, manufacturing two molds 5, and processing the cavities 51 of the two molds 5 into shapes that match the two shell-shaped bodies to be manufactured;

[0070] S220, filling the mold cavity 51 with a mixture, the mixture comprising magnetic isolation powder and a binder uniformly mixed together; the viscosity of the binder satisfies: when the temperature is T, the position of the magnetic isolation powder remains unchanged during the natural curing process of the binder, in other words, the magnetic isolation powder always maintains a uniform distribution state in the binder and does not settle; waiting for the binder to naturally cure under the environment of temperature T, after the binder is cured, the mixture forms a shell-like body;

[0071] S230, placing the installation area 111 and the electronic components 12 between the two shell-shaped bodies, making the connection area 112 outside the two shell-shaped bodies, and then fixing and connecting the two shell-shaped bodies to assemble into a magnetic isolation member 2;

[0072] S240, wind the receiving coil 3 along the outer wall of the magnetic isolation member 2, and fix the two ends of the receiving coil 3 to the connection area 112; wherein, the part of the receiving coil 3 that is attached to the magnetic isolation member 2 forms the coil body 31, and the two ends of the receiving coil 3 form pins respectively.

[0073] The wireless charging receiver is manufactured by the second wireless charging receiver manufacturing method. No matter what the shape of the receiving coil 3 is, as long as the outer sides of the cavities 51 of the two molds 5 are respectively processed into shapes that match the coil body 31 in step S210, the outer wall surface of the shell body can be made into a shape that matches the receiving coil 3. After the two shell bodies are assembled into the magnetic isolation member 2, the receiving coil 3 is wound against the outer wall surface of the magnetic isolation member 2, so that each circle of the receiving coil 3 can be attached to the outer wall surface of the magnetic isolation member 2, thereby eliminating the gap between the magnetic isolation member 2 and each circle of the receiving coil 3, and improving the energy conversion efficiency of the wireless charging receiver. Moreover, the receiving coil 3 of the desired shape can be wound against the outer wall surface of the magnetic isolation member 2. In other words, the magnetic isolation member 2 plays the role of the coil mold 5. In this way, before manufacturing the receiving coil 3, there is no need to manufacture the coil mold 5 as the basis for winding the receiving coil 3. In addition, the magnetic isolation member 2 and the PCBA1 can be manufactured separately. In other words, the manufacturing processes of the two are independent of each other. After the two are manufactured, they can be assembled together, which can improve the production efficiency of the wireless charging receiver.

[0074] Exemplarily, the two shell-shaped bodies are fixedly connected by bonding / clamping.

[0075] Preferably, in the mixture, the mass percentage of the magnetic isolation powder is k, and k satisfies: 30%≤k≤90%. In this way, the magnetic isolation member 2 manufactured by the second wireless charging receiver manufacturing method has good magnetic attraction and magnetic isolation functions. More preferably, in order to make the magnetic isolation member 2 with a smaller size have sufficient magnetic attraction and magnetic isolation functions, k satisfies: 70%≤k≤90%.

[0076] Preferably, the magnetic isolation powder is ferrite powder, the binder is epoxy resin, 20°C≤T≤40°C; the viscosity of the binder is η, when the temperature is T, η≥1000cps. In this way, because the viscosity of the binder is high, during the natural curing process of the binder, the magnetic isolation powder always maintains a uniform distribution in the binder and does not settle.

[0077] In the first wireless charger manufacturing method and the second wireless charger manufacturing method, the magnetic isolation powder may also be neodymium iron boron powder or samarium cobalt powder, and the binder may also be polyurethane.

[0078] In the first wireless charger manufacturing method and the second wireless charger manufacturing method, two ends of the receiving coil 3 are bonded / welded to the connection area 112 .

[0079] Fully implantable neurostimulators need to stay in the body for a long time to exert a long-term therapeutic effect. In order to ensure that the neurostimulator can apply electrical stimulation to the organism for many years, it is necessary to wirelessly charge these neurostimulators through the skin and other tissues of the organism. Specifically, a pulse generator is set in the neurostimulator, and the pulse generator includes the above-mentioned wireless charging receiver. A transmitting coil is set in the wireless charging transmitter matched with the pulse generator. The transmitting coil is energized to generate magnetic field energy. The receiving coil of the wireless charging receiver receives the magnetic field energy and converts the magnetic field energy into alternating current. The PCBA converts the alternating current into direct current, and converts the direct current into the electrical stimulation signal required for the neurostimulator to apply electrical stimulation. The magnetic isolation member is arranged between the PCBA and the receiving coil. On the one hand, the magnetic isolation member can concentrate and guide the magnetic field, play a magnetic attraction role, so that the receiving coil can more effectively capture and utilize the magnetic field energy transmitted from the transmitting coil, thereby improving the energy conversion efficiency of the pulse generator. On the other hand, the electromagnetic interference of the PCBA to the receiving coil will cause the electrical stimulation signal output by the neurostimulator to fluctuate and make noise, making the electrical stimulation signal unstable. Unstable electrical stimulation signals may not be able to accurately regulate the patient's neural activity, resulting in a decrease in the therapeutic effect. The magnetic shielding component can block the electromagnetic interference of PCBA to the receiving coil, play a magnetic shielding role, and is conducive to the stable output of electrical stimulation signals by the neurostimulator, thereby ensuring the treatment effect.

[0080] Small neurostimulators have the following advantages: easy implantation, less trauma during the implantation process, high safety, and the ability to significantly reduce patient discomfort. These advantages have made the miniaturization of neurostimulators a hot spot in the development of neurostimulators. As neurostimulators become smaller and smaller, the receiving coil inside them is also getting smaller and smaller, which results in a decrease in the ability of the receiving coil to receive magnetic field energy, and the energy conversion efficiency of the wireless charging receiver is therefore reduced. When the energy conversion efficiency of the wireless charging receiver drops to a certain level, the wireless charging receiver cannot provide enough electrical energy, causing the neurostimulator to fail to work properly. Therefore, the energy conversion efficiency of the wireless charging receiver has become an important factor restricting the miniaturization of neurostimulators. In order to make the neurostimulator smaller, it is necessary to increase the energy conversion efficiency of the wireless charging receiver as much as possible.

[0081] The present application also provides a neurostimulator, which includes a pulse generator, and the pulse generator includes a wireless charging receiver, and the wireless charging receiver is made by any of the above-mentioned wireless charging receiver manufacturing methods. By manufacturing a wireless charging receiver by any of the above-mentioned wireless charging receiver manufacturing methods, the gap between the magnetic isolation member 2 and each turn of the receiving coil 3 can be eliminated, and the energy conversion efficiency of the wireless charging receiver can be improved, which is conducive to making the neurostimulator smaller. Moreover, the receiving coil 3 of the desired shape can be wound along the outer wall surface of the magnetic isolation member 2. In other words, the magnetic isolation member 2 plays the role of a coil mold. In this way, before manufacturing the receiving coil 3, there is no need to manufacture an additional coil mold as a basis for winding the receiving coil 3.

[0082] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described.
