[0009] In some embodiments, a guide groove is provided on the support platform located within the charging area, so that when the device to be charged is located within the charging area, the device to be charged and the support platform together form a flow channel for gas flow, and the air outlet is connected to the guide groove.

[0010] In some embodiments, the support platform includes a housing and a mounting shell fixedly connected within the housing. The housing has the flow guide groove and the charging area. The housing and the mounting shell together form a mounting cavity, and the wireless charging module is installed within the mounting cavity.

[0011] In some embodiments, the housing is provided with a vent hole, which is connected to the guide groove and the mounting cavity; the mounting housing is provided with an outlet hole, and the vehicle-mounted wireless charging system further includes a guide member, which is arranged opposite to the outlet hole or the vent hole, for guiding the gas in the guide groove through the vent hole into the mounting cavity and discharging it from the outlet hole.

[0012] In some embodiments, the air supply duct has two air outlets, one of which is connected to the guide groove and the other is connected to the mounting cavity, and the mounting shell has an air outlet hole.

[0013] In some embodiments, the air supply duct includes a pipe body and a pipe opening located within the support platform. The pipe opening has a mounting groove.

[0023] The air supply duct is connected to the vehicle's air conditioning system, and the air outlet of the air supply duct faces the charging area. This allows the cold or hot air exhausted by the air conditioning system to be delivered to the charging area through the air supply duct, regulating the temperature of the charging area. The device to be charged is located in the charging area during charging, which in turn allows the temperature of the device to be charged to be regulated, reducing the impact of temperature on the device and ensuring that the temperature of the device to be charged meets the requirements of fast charging, thereby improving the charging efficiency of the device to be charged.

Detailed Implementation

[0032] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] It should be noted that all directional indications in the embodiments of the present invention are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a specific posture. If the specific posture changes, the directional indications will also change accordingly.

[0034] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connection," "fixed," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "fixed" can mean a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; it can mean a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can mean a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can mean the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise explicitly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0035] Furthermore, in this invention, descriptions involving "first," "second," etc., are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. Additionally, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but only on the basis of being achievable by those skilled in the art. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, such a combination of technical solutions should be considered non-existent and not within the scope of protection claimed by this invention.

[0036] For example, when charging devices like mobile phones and tablets, both excessively low and high ambient temperatures can affect charging efficiency. Reasons affecting charging efficiency include, but are not limited to: when the temperature is too high, to protect the battery and circuitry, an overheat protection mechanism may be triggered. This mechanism limits the charging speed and reduces the charging current to prevent further overheating and damage to the device. To prevent battery damage at low temperatures, devices typically have a low-temperature protection mechanism. When the battery temperature is too low, the system automatically disconnects charging or limits the charging speed to protect the battery. Additionally, these devices usually use lithium batteries, and the activity of lithium batteries decreases significantly at low temperatures. This means that at low temperatures, the internal chemical reaction rate of the battery slows down, causing the charging current to fall short of the rated value, thus affecting the charging speed.

[0037] In related technologies, when a device is charged using an in-vehicle wireless charging module, there is a technical problem of low charging efficiency. This application provides an in-vehicle wireless charging system, a damper adjustment method, and a vehicle, which can at least partially solve the technical problem of low charging efficiency for the device being charged.

[0038] This application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0039] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the vehicle-mounted wireless charging system 100 is installed on the vehicle body for charging the device 200 to be charged, and includes a support platform 110, a wireless charging module 120, and an air supply duct 130.

[0040] The support platform 110 has a charging area for supporting the device 200 to be charged.

[0041] Wireless charging differs from wired charging. Wireless charging is affected by the distance between the device to be charged 200 and the wireless charging module 120. If the device to be charged 200 is too far from the wireless charging module 120, it will not be able to charge. Wireless charging is only possible when the distance between the device to be charged 200 and the wireless charging module 120 is within a certain range. The support platform 110 can support the device to be charged 200. When the device to be charged 200 is located within the charging area on the support platform 110, it can enter the charging state. The size and shape of the charging area are related to the shape of the wireless charging module 120 and the size and shape of the support platform 110, and are not limited in this application. Users can design it adaptively according to their needs. Users can visually display the charging area on the surface of the support platform 110 by affixing stickers or processing protrusions, so that users can quickly find the charging area and place the device to be charged 200 within that area to achieve charging. The support platform 110 may also have a cup holder for storing water cups, a storage box for storing keys, etc. The specific structure of the support platform 110 is not limited in this application.

[0042] The wireless charging module 120 is located inside the support platform 110 and is positioned opposite to the charging area. It is used to charge the device 200 that is placed on the support platform 110 and located in the charging area.

[0043] The wireless charging module 120 needs to be positioned relative to the charging area to ensure that the device to be charged 200 can be charged after being placed in the charging area. The wireless charging module 120 includes components such as a transmitting coil and a transmitting module. The structure of the wireless charging module 120 varies and is known to those skilled in the art, so it will not be described in detail here. The wireless charging module 120 is located inside the support platform 110 and is not exposed, which helps to maintain the aesthetics of the vehicle-mounted wireless charging system 100.

[0044] The air supply duct 130 is used to connect to the air conditioning system 300 of the vehicle body, and the air outlet 130a of the air supply duct 130 faces the charging area.

[0045] The air supply duct 130 is connected to the vehicle's air conditioning system 300. Essentially, it connects to the air outlet 300a of the air conditioning system 300, allowing airflow from the air outlet 300a to enter the air supply duct 130, flow along it, and exit from the air outlet 130a. Since the air outlet 130a of the air supply duct 130 faces the charging area, the airflow from the outlet 130a can reach the charging area, thereby regulating the temperature of the charging area and consequently, the temperature of the device 200 located within it.

[0046] In this way, during cold seasons such as winter, the temperature of the charging area can be raised by the hot air processed by the air conditioning system 300, so that the temperature of the charging area and the equipment can rise to meet the requirements of high-efficiency charging and improve the charging efficiency of the device 200 to be charged.

[0047] In this way, during hot seasons such as summer, the temperature of the charging area can be reduced by the cold air processed by the air conditioning system 300, so that the temperature of the charging area and the equipment can be reduced to meet the requirements of high-efficiency charging and improve the charging efficiency of the device 200 to be charged.

[0048] In summary, the air supply duct 130 is connected to the air conditioning system 300 of the vehicle body, and the air outlet 130a of the air supply duct 130 faces the charging area. This allows the cold or hot air discharged by the air conditioning system 300 to be delivered to the charging area through the air supply duct 130 to regulate the temperature of the charging area. The device 200 to be charged is located in the charging area during charging, which in turn allows the temperature of the device 200 to be charged to be regulated, reducing the impact of temperature on the device 200 and ensuring that the temperature of the device 200 to be charged meets the requirements of fast charging, thereby improving the charging efficiency of the device 200 to be charged.

[0049] It is easy to understand that in order to make the air discharged from the air outlet 130a of the air supply duct 130 softer and more evenly distributed in the charging area, a structure such as an air guide plate can be installed on the air outlet 130a of the air supply duct 130, which is not limited in this application.

[0050] In some embodiments, the support platform 110 is provided with a guide groove 110a located in the charging area, so that when the device to be charged 200 is located in the charging area, the device to be charged 200 and the support platform 110 surround each other to form a flow channel for gas flow, and the air outlet 130a is connected to the guide groove 110a.

[0051] like Figure 3As shown, the upper surface of the support platform 110 is provided with a flow guide groove 110a. After the device to be charged 200 is placed on the charging area, the device to be charged 200 is located above the flow guide groove 110a, and the device to be charged 200 acts as a cover plate, covering the flow guide groove 110a, so that the side wall of the flow guide groove 110a, the bottom wall of the flow guide groove 110a, and the lower surface of the device to be charged 200 together form a flow channel for gas circulation. This requires that the size of the flow guide groove 110a be smaller than the size of the device to be charged 200 to ensure that the device to be charged 200 is not located inside the flow guide groove 110a, thus ensuring the formation of the flow channel. One or more flow guide grooves 110a can be provided, which is not limited in this application. It is easy to understand that the flow channel has an inlet and an outlet, and the air outlet 130a faces the inlet so that the air discharged from the air outlet 130a can at least partially enter the flow channel through the inlet, thereby connecting the air outlet 130a to the flow guide groove 110a.

[0052] When the device 200 to be charged is placed on the charging area, if the lower surface of the device 200 contacts the upper surface of the support platform 110, the contact area between the device 200 and the air discharged from the air outlet 130a will be affected under high or low ambient temperatures, making it difficult for the device 200 to cool down. However, with the design of this application, a portion of the lower surface of the device 200 is suspended during charging, allowing the air from the air outlet 130a to flow onto the lower surface of the device 200, increasing the contact area between the device 200 and the air discharged from the air outlet 130a, thus facilitating the heating or cooling of the device 200. Furthermore, this design allows the air discharged from the air outlet 130a to flow within the flow channel, reducing the impact of external airflow on the path of the air discharged from the air outlet 130a and ensuring the efficiency of heating or cooling the device 200.

[0053] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the support platform 110 includes a housing 111 and a mounting shell 112 fixedly connected within the housing 111. The housing 111 has a flow guide groove 110a and a charging area. The housing 111 and the mounting shell 112 together form a mounting cavity 110b, and the wireless charging module 120 is installed in the mounting cavity 110b.

[0054] The wireless charging module 120 is located inside the mounting cavity 110b. It can be connected to the housing 111, the mounting shell 112, or both the housing 111 and the mounting shell 112. This application does not limit the connection.

[0055] like Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, the housing 111 includes a first decorative cover plate 1111 and a second decorative cover plate 1112, which are fixedly connected. The first decorative cover plate 1111 has a charging area and a flow guide groove 110a. The mounting housing 112 is fixedly connected to the second decorative cover plate 1112 and together with the first decorative cover plate 1111, forms a mounting cavity 110b. The wireless charging module 120 is located in the mounting cavity 110b and below the first decorative cover plate 1111.

[0056] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the housing 111 has a vent hole 111a, which is connected to the guide groove 110a and the mounting cavity 110b; the mounting housing 112 has an exhaust hole 112a. The vehicle wireless charging system 100 also includes a guide member 140, which is arranged opposite to the exhaust hole 112a or the vent hole 111a, for guiding the gas in the guide groove 110a through the vent hole 111a into the mounting cavity 110b and discharging it from the exhaust hole 112a. The wireless charging module 120 is located on the path of the gas moving from the vent hole 111a to the exhaust hole 112a.

[0057] The guide element 140 can be positioned opposite to the vent 112a or the air vent 111a. The wireless charging module 120 is located on the path of gas movement from the air vent 111a to the vent 112a, ensuring that the airflow can reach the wireless charging module 120. The air vent 111a penetrates the housing 111, connecting the guide channel 110a and the mounting cavity 110b, allowing gas in the guide channel 110a to flow into the mounting cavity 110b through the air vent 111a, or allowing gas in the mounting cavity 110b to flow into the guide channel 110a through the air vent 111a. The vent 112a on the mounting housing 112 is a through hole, connecting the mounting cavity 110b and the outside, allowing outside gas to enter the mounting cavity 110b through the vent 112a, or allowing gas in the mounting cavity 110b to exit through the vent 112a. The function of the guide element 140 is to guide the gas in the guide channel 110a into the mounting cavity 110b through the vent 111a, and then discharge it to the outside through the vent 112a. In other words, the function of the guide element 140 is to allow the gas in the guide channel 110a to enter the mounting cavity 110b and then exit from the mounting cavity 110b. In this way, under the action of the guide element 140, the vent 111a, and the vent 112a, the air discharged from the air outlet 130a, after heating or cooling the device to be charged 200, also passes through the wireless charging module 120, heating or cooling the wireless charging module 120. The temperature of the device to be charged 200 and the wireless charging module 120 is regulated sequentially, which helps to keep both the device to be charged 200 and the wireless charging module 120 at a suitable temperature, thereby improving the charging efficiency of the device to be charged 200. In addition, under the action of the air diversion component 140, even if the air conditioning system 300 is not turned on, the air diversion component 140 can be activated independently. The air diversion component 140 accelerates the airflow near the device to be charged 200 and the wireless charging module 120, which can accelerate the heat dissipation of the device to be charged 200 and the wireless charging module 120 to a certain extent.

[0058] The air intake element 140 can be a fan, including a motor and fan blades. The number of vent holes 111a and air outlet holes 112a can be one or more, and is not limited in this application.

[0059] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the air supply duct 130 has two air outlets 130a, one of which is connected to the guide groove 110a and the other is connected to the mounting cavity 110b. An air outlet 112a is provided on the mounting shell 112.

[0060] With this design, the air in the air supply duct 130 can be delivered to both the guide channel 110a and the mounting cavity 110b at the same time, and the temperature of the device to be charged 200 and the wireless charging module 120 can be adjusted simultaneously. This helps to keep both the device to be charged 200 and the wireless charging module 120 at a suitable temperature, thereby improving the charging efficiency of the device to be charged 200.

[0061] In some embodiments, one of the air outlets 130a penetrates the bottom wall of the first decorative cover plate 1111 to communicate with the guide groove 110a, and the other air outlet penetrates the side wall of the mounting shell 112 to communicate with the mounting cavity 110b.

[0062] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the vehicle-mounted wireless charging system 100 also includes a draining member 140, which is located in the mounting cavity 110b and is arranged opposite to the vent 112a, for discharging the gas in the mounting cavity 110b through the vent 112a.

[0063] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the air supply duct 130 includes a pipe body 131 and a pipe opening 132 located within the support platform 110. The pipe opening 132 has a mounting groove 132a. One end of the pipe body 131 is used to communicate with the air conditioning system 300, and the other end is connected to the mounting groove 132a. The opening of the mounting groove 132a is an air outlet 130a. The support platform 110 covers the opening, and the support platform 110 has a vent hole 111a that communicates with the air outlet 130a and the guide groove 110a. The wireless charging module 120 is disposed within the mounting groove 132a.

[0064] The tube body 131 is a pipe, one end of which is fixedly connected to the air conditioning system 300 and communicates with the air outlet 300a of the air conditioning system 300; the other end is fixedly connected to the pipe fitting 132 and communicates with the pipe fitting 132. With this design, the gas discharged from the air outlet 300a of the air conditioning system 300 first enters the tube body 131, then flows along the tube body 131 into the pipe fitting 132, and finally exits from the slot of the pipe fitting 132. Since the vent hole 111a connects the air outlet 130a and the guide groove 110a, the gas discharged from the slot of the pipe fitting 132 will pass through the vent hole 111a and be blown into the guide groove 110a, thereby controlling the temperature of the device 200 to be charged located above the guide groove 110a. Since the wireless charging module 120 is installed in the mounting slot 132a, the wireless charging module 120 can also be temperature-regulated by the gas discharged from the air conditioning system 300.

[0065] like Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments, the support platform 110 includes a first decorative cover plate 1111 and a second decorative cover plate 1112. The first decorative cover plate 1111 and the second decorative cover plate 1112 are fixedly connected. The first decorative cover plate 1111 has a charging area and a guide groove 110a. The pipe fitting 132 is fixedly connected to the second decorative cover plate 1112. The first decorative cover plate 1111 covers the groove of the pipe fitting 132. The vent hole 111a is opened on the first decorative cover plate 1111.

[0066] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the pipe fitting 132 is also provided with an air inlet 132b, and the vehicle wireless charging system 100 also includes a flow guide 140, which is arranged opposite to the air inlet 132b to guide the gas outside the vehicle wireless charging system 100 through the air inlet 132b into the mounting groove 132a and discharge it from the vent 111a into the guide groove 110a.

[0067] The air inlet 132b is a through hole, connecting the mounting slot 132a and the outside, allowing outside air to enter the mounting slot 132a through the air inlet 132b, or allowing air in the mounting slot 132a to exit through the air outlet 112a. The function of the air diverter 140 is to divert outside air through the air inlet 132b into the mounting slot 132a, and then discharge it into the guide slot 110a through the vent 111a. In this way, even if the air conditioning system 300 is not turned on, the air diverter 140 can be activated independently to accelerate the airflow around the device 200 to be charged and the wireless charging module 120, which can accelerate the heat dissipation of the device 200 to be charged and the wireless charging module 120 to a certain extent, ensuring the charging efficiency of the device 200 to be charged.

[0068] In some embodiments, the air conditioning system 300 has an air outlet 300a and a rear air duct 310 connected to the air outlet 300a. The rear air duct 310 is used to supply air to the rear of the vehicle. The air supply duct 130 is connected to the air outlet 300a. The vehicle wireless charging system 100 also includes an adjusting damper 150, which is rotatably disposed at the air outlet 300a and used to adjust the air volume ratio between the rear air duct 310 and the air supply duct 130.

[0069] The gas processed by the air conditioning system 300 is discharged through the air outlet 300a. Both the rear air duct 310 and the supply air duct 130 are connected to the air outlet 300a, therefore the rear air duct and the supply air duct 130 are arranged in parallel. The air outlet of the rear air duct 310 faces the rear passenger area to regulate the temperature of the rear passenger area. To regulate the airflow of the air outlet 130a, these embodiments include an adjusting damper 150. The adjusting damper 150 is rotatably mounted at the air outlet 300a. It can be rotatably mounted on the air conditioning system 300, or on the rear air duct 310, or on the supply air duct 130; no limitation is made in this application. The rotation angle of the damper 150 is adjustable. It can be rotated to block the supply air duct 130, preventing airflow from entering the supply air duct 130 and ensuring it enters the rear exhaust air duct 310 completely; it can also be rotated to block the rear exhaust air duct 310, preventing airflow from entering the rear exhaust air duct 310 and ensuring it enters the supply air duct 130 completely; it can also be rotated to a neutral position that neither blocks the supply air duct 130 nor the rear exhaust air duct 310. At this neutral position, different tilt angles affect the air intake of both the rear exhaust air duct 310 and the supply air duct 130, thus allowing adjustment of the airflow ratio between them. Therefore, to increase the air intake of the supply air duct 130, the damper 150 can be rotated closer to the rear exhaust air duct 310 or blocked. When you want to reduce the air intake of the air supply duct 130, you can rotate the regulating damper 150 to be close to the air supply duct 130, or cover the air supply duct 130.

[0070] It should be noted that the regulating damper 150 is equipped with a drive motor, which drives the regulating damper 150 to rotate.

[0071] It should be noted that, for vehicles, the cold or hot air generated by the air conditioning system 300 will be transmitted not only to the rear area but also to the front area, etc. Therefore, there are usually other pipes connected to the air vent 300a, which are not limited in this application.

[0072] In some embodiments of this application, the in-vehicle wireless charging system 100 is installed on the center console of the vehicle.

[0073] like Figure 6 As shown, based on the same inventive concept, this application embodiment also provides a damper adjustment method, which is used to adjust the above-mentioned vehicle wireless charging system 100 with the adjustment damper 140, including steps S100, S200 and S300.

[0074] S100: Determine whether the device to be charged 200 is in a charging state. If yes, obtain the temperature T0 of the charging area. If no, end the process.

[0075] It is easy to understand that if the device 200 to be charged is charging, it is in a charging state; otherwise, it is in a non-charging state. When the device 200 to be charged is in a charging state, the current and voltage of the wireless charging module 120 will change. Therefore, it can be determined whether the device 200 to be charged is in a charging state by detecting the current or voltage of the wireless charging module 120. There are various ways to detect whether the device 200 to be charged is in a charging state, and this application does not limit them. If the device 200 to be charged is in a non-charging state, there is no need to adjust the temperature of the device 200 to be charged, and the subsequent steps of this method will not be initiated. If the device 200 to be charged is in a charging state, the temperature T0 of the charging area is obtained.

[0076] S200: Determine whether temperature T0 satisfies T1≤T0<T2, where T1 is the first set temperature and T2 is the second set temperature. If yes, end the process; otherwise, check the air conditioning temperature and air conditioning airflow status of the air conditioning system 300.

[0077] The first preset temperature T1 is the minimum temperature to ensure efficient charging of the device 200, and the second preset temperature T2 is the maximum temperature to ensure efficient charging of the device 200. The specific values ​​of T1 and T2 are related to the type and power of the device 200 and the type and power of the wireless charging module 120, and are not limited in this application. If T0 satisfies T1 < T0 ≤ T2, it means that the temperature T0 meets the requirements for efficient charging of the device 200, and the subsequent steps of this method are not initiated. If T0 < T1 or T2 ≤ T0, it means that the temperature T0 does not meet the requirements for efficient charging of the wireless charging module 120, and the air conditioning temperature and air conditioning airflow status of the air conditioning system 300 are detected.

[0078] S300: Determine if the air conditioner temperature and air volume are in a bad state. If so, first adjust the air conditioner temperature and air volume, then adjust the regulating damper 140 until the temperature T0 satisfies T1≤T0<T2. If not, adjust the regulating damper 150 until the temperature T0 satisfies T1≤T0<T2.

[0079] Specifically, an unsuitable air conditioning temperature can be categorized into the following four situations:

[0080] 1. The air conditioner temperature is less than T1.

[0081] 2. The air conditioning temperature is greater than or equal to T2.

[0082] 3. The air conditioner is not turned on when the ambient temperature is too high; for example, the air conditioner is not turned on when the ambient temperature is 40℃.

[0083] 4. When the ambient temperature is too low, the air conditioner is not turned on; for example, when the ambient temperature is -10℃, the air conditioner is not turned on.

[0084] Specifically, poor airflow from an air conditioner can include the following two situations:

[0085] 1. The ambient temperature is high, and the fan speed setting is too low, so the current fan speed is insufficient to lower the interior temperature to the desired level. For example, the ambient temperature is 40℃, the user sets the air conditioning temperature to 25℃, and the fan speed is only at level 1.

[0086] 2. The ambient temperature is low, and the fan speed setting is too low, so the current fan speed cannot raise the interior temperature to the specified level. For example, if the ambient temperature is 0℃, the user sets the air conditioning temperature to 25℃, and the fan speed is only at level 1.

[0087] If the air conditioning temperature is in an unfavorable state, the air conditioning temperature is adjusted to a favorable state; if the air conditioning airflow is in an unfavorable state, the airflow is adjusted to a favorable state. Adjusting the air conditioning temperature and airflow can be done by prompting the user to actively adjust, or it can be done automatically by the control system; this application does not limit the specific actions taken. After adjusting the air conditioning temperature and airflow to a favorable state, the angle of the damper 150 is adjusted, thereby adjusting the airflow at the outlet 130a, so that the temperature T0 satisfies T1≤T0<T2. If the air conditioning temperature and airflow of the air conditioning system 300 are in a favorable state, the angle of the damper 150 is directly adjusted, thereby adjusting the airflow at the outlet 130a, so that the temperature T0 satisfies T1≤T0<T2.

[0088] Based on the same inventive concept, this application also provides a vehicle, including the above-described in-vehicle wireless charging system 100 or the above-described damper adjustment method.

[0089] Since the vehicle includes the aforementioned in-vehicle wireless charging system 100, it naturally possesses all the beneficial effects of the in-vehicle wireless charging system 100, which will not be elaborated upon here.
