Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of wireless charging technology, and specifically provides a wireless charging adapter, a wireless charging component, and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] The WPC (Wireless Power Consortium) has released the Qi2.0 wireless charging standard, which adds the MPP (MAGNETIC POWER PROFILE) magnetic wireless charging protocol standard. Prior to this, some mobile phone models (such as iPhone, Samsung, Google, etc.) usually used the EPP (Extended power profile) protocol for charging. Taking the iPhone as an example, it can only achieve 7.5W charging through the EPP protocol. With the update of MPP, some models of mobile phones such as the iPhone can double the power, supporting a maximum power of 15W. Moreover, with the opening of Qi2.0 certification, the proportion of mobile phones on the market that support MPP magnetic charging will increase.

[0003] The technology for equipping existing vehicles with on-board wireless charging devices is also relatively mature. In the design of new vehicles, devices related to the MPP protocol can be placed to facilitate more models to match 15W fast charging in the future, avoiding the dilemma that some mobile phones can only achieve 7.5W charging.

[0004] However, for old users who have already purchased the car, since the built-in equipment in their vehicle only supports the EPP protocol and cannot support the MPP protocol, in order to enjoy this power increase, they need to upgrade the hardware to support the MMP protocol. Users have to modify the vehicle's on-board wireless charging device. Whether going to a 4S store or other repair shop, the modification of the vehicle will leave more or less modification traces, resulting in an increase in potential hidden dangers such as short circuits. In addition, for users, the time cost and modification cost are relatively high, which hinders users from using new technologies.

[0005] Of course, wireless charging devices are not limited to in-vehicle wireless charging devices. The same problem also exists in other application scenarios equipped with wireless charging devices. For example, home wireless charging desktops (such as computer desks) and other application scenarios all need to replace new equipment. However, wireless charging desktops and in-vehicle wireless charging devices are relatively expensive, which becomes a problem facing users.

[0006] Accordingly, how to enable wireless charging devices in vehicles of older users or other application scenarios to use the MPP protocol more quickly and easily, thereby improving the charging efficiency of some devices while keeping the cost low, is a technical problem that needs to be urgently solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0007] This application aims to solve the above technical problems, that is, how to enable wireless charging devices in vehicles of old users or other application scenarios to use the MPP protocol more quickly and easily, improve the charging efficiency of some equipment, and at a lower cost.

[0008] In a first aspect, the present application provides a wireless charging adapter, comprising a housing, a chamber disposed within the housing, a charging transmitter coil, a circuit board assembly, and a charging receiver coil disposed within the chamber, the circuit board assembly comprising a charging transmitter controller, a master controller, and a charging receiver controller;

[0009] The charging receiving end coil is used to receive the changing magnetic field emitted by the device to be converted and to generate alternating current;

[0010] The charging receiving end controller is connected to the charging receiving end coil, and is used to convert alternating current into direct current and communicate with the device to be converted through a first protocol;

[0011] The charging receiving end controller is connected to the charging transmitting end controller;

[0012] The charging transmitter controller is connected to the charging transmitter coil, and is used to convert direct current into alternating current and to communicate with the device to be charged through a second protocol;

[0013] The charging transmitting end coil is used to convert alternating current into a changing magnetic field and provide the changing magnetic field to the device to be charged;

[0014] The main controller is in communication with the charging transmitter controller and the charging receiver controller respectively.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, this application can avoid vehicle modification and enable vehicles that need to be upgraded to use the latest charging protocol, thereby improving the charging efficiency of some mobile phones.

[0016] For the above-mentioned wireless charging adapter, in a possible embodiment, a first tray and a bracket are further provided in the shell, a receiving groove is provided in the middle part of the bracket, the charging transmitting end coil is provided in the first tray, the circuit board assembly is provided in the receiving groove, and the charging receiving end coil is provided between the bottom of the shell and the bracket, so that the devices in the shell are arranged in sequence from top to bottom: charging transmitting end coil, first tray, bracket, circuit board assembly, charging receiving end coil.

[0017] When the above technical solution is adopted, the wireless charging adapter of the present application is made thinner through the overlapping design of the receiving groove and the circuit board assembly.

[0018] For the above-mentioned wireless charging adapter, in a possible embodiment, a first magnetic isolation member is further provided in the shell, the first magnetic isolation member is provided with a first groove facing the first surface of the shell, the charging transmitting end coil is provided in the first groove, and the first magnetic isolation member is provided in the first tray; wherein, the first surface of the shell is the surface close to the device to be charged.

[0021] When using the above technical solution, the design of the first and second magnetic shielding members minimizes the interaction between the charging transmitter coil and the charging receiver coil during use of the product of this application, and controls the magnetic field within the product. Furthermore, the first magnetic shielding member overlaps with the first tray and the charging transmitter coil, and the second magnetic shielding member overlaps with the charging receiver coil, making the overall product thinner. The edge design of the first and second through-holes reduces magnetic flux leakage.

[0022] Regarding the above-mentioned wireless charging adapter, in a possible implementation manner, a magnetic attraction portion is further provided on the edge of the charging transmitter coil in the first tray.

[0032] With this technical solution, the magnetic shielding design of the second tray and the intermediate support cover enhances overall magnetic shielding. The protrusions and insertion holes in the intermediate support cover and the first tray eliminate the need for adhesive layers, making the product thinner, easier to assemble, and more secure. The intermediate base and stepped platform design allows for more accurate determination of the second tray's overlap, facilitating quality control and resulting in a thinner product.

[0033] For the above-mentioned wireless charging adapter, in a possible implementation manner, the housing includes a base and a pressing cover, and the base is fixedly connected to the pressing cover.

[0034] For the above-mentioned wireless charging adapter, in a possible implementation manner, an exterior cover is further provided on the outer side of the compression cover.

[0035] When adopting the above technical solution, the appearance cover and the pressing cover are designed separately, so that they can respectively respond to different technical problems, so that the top can be stably pressed by the hard pressing cover, and can also play an anti-slip role through the soft rubber appearance cover.

[0036] For the above-mentioned wireless charging adapter, in a possible implementation, the charging transmitter coils are provided in multiple groups, the multiple groups of charging transmitter coils are arranged side by side in the first tray, and the multiple groups of charging transmitter coils are arranged in parallel.

[0098] The following describes the embodiments of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are only used to explain the technical principles of the present application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. For example, although this embodiment is described with the wireless charging device as an example of a vehicle-mounted wireless charging device, it is obvious that the wireless charging adapter of the present application can also transfer other known wireless charging devices, such as desktop wireless charging devices, etc., and is not limited to vehicle-mounted wireless charging devices.

[0099] It should be noted that in the description of this application, terms such as "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer" indicating directions or positional relationships are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. This is merely for ease of description and does not indicate or imply that the device or element must have a specific orientation, be constructed, or operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be understood as limiting this application. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0100] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this application, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "installed," "set," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to direct connections, indirect connections through an intermediate medium, or internal connections between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0101] The following takes the wireless charging device of a vehicle as an example, and the device to be charged as a mobile phone as an example to elaborate on the solution of this application in detail.

[0102] Figure 1 This illustrates one of the primary application scenarios for the wireless charging adapter of this application: placing it between a vehicle-mounted wireless charging device and a mobile phone, changing the protocol through the wireless charging adapter, and ultimately increasing the charging power of the mobile phone. It is understood that the charging devices of this application are not limited to mobile phones, but can also include tablets, laptops, handheld mobile stations, walkie-talkies, and other mobile devices with wireless charging capabilities.

[0103] Combine Figures 2 to 6 , a possible specific implementation of the wireless charging adapter of the present application is expanded, wherein, Figure 2 The various devices within the dotted box, their connection relationships, and their functions together constitute the wireless charging adapter of the present application, and demonstrate the working principle of the wireless charging adapter of the present application.

[0104] In a possible specific embodiment of the wireless charging adapter provided by the present application, as shown in the figure, the wireless charging adapter of the present application includes a housing 01, a chamber 014 is provided within the housing 01, and a charging transmitter coil 02, a circuit board assembly 03, and a charging receiver coil 04 are provided within the chamber 014. The circuit board assembly 03 includes a charging transmitter controller, a master controller, and a charging receiver controller. It should be noted that the circuit board assembly 03 mentioned in the present application includes the charging transmitter controller, the master controller, and the charging receiver controller. However, this circuit board assembly 03 does not only include these three components in a narrow sense. These three components are mainly named based on their functions. They can not only be independent charging transmitter controllers, master controllers, and charging receiver controllers, but also an integrated controller integrated on a single circuit board to perform the functions of these three components. This all-in-one controller can also perform the functions of the above three controllers and also belongs to the circuit board assembly 03 mentioned in the present application. In other words, the circuit board assembly 03 of the present application is not limited to three controllers, but is a circuit board assembly 03 of a controller that can perform these functions. It should also be noted that, taking the charging transmitter controller as an example, the charging transmitter controller can be a set of control circuits including a charging transmitter chip, which can implement second protocol communication with the mobile phone and can be connected to the charging transmitter coil 02 to convert DC power into AC power. It can be implemented using known existing technologies. For example, the charging transmitter controller mainly includes structural modules such as a full-bridge module, a filter module, a resonant circuit control module, and a communication protocol module. The circuits that can implement the communication functions and DC-to-AC conversion functions of the charging transmitter controller are technical solutions well known to those skilled in the wireless charging field and will not be elaborated in detail. Similarly, those skilled in the art can implement the circuit board assembly 03 by combining the functions of the charging transmitter controller, the master controller, and the charging receiver controller described in this application through existing technologies. The focus of this application is not on the implementation of the functions of the three controllers alone, but on how to connect these controllers and achieve complete coordination between all control components and execution components to ultimately produce the wireless charging adapter of this application. Therefore, the specific components of the charging transmitter controller, the master controller, and the charging receiver controller will not be described in detail.

[0105] The charging receiving end coil 04 is used to receive the changing magnetic field emitted by the device to be converted (such as a vehicle-mounted wireless charging device) and to generate alternating current. The charging receiving end controller is connected to the charging receiving end coil 04 and is used to convert the alternating current into direct current and to communicate with the device to be converted using the first protocol. Specifically, the charging receiving end controller, as the part that interfaces with the vehicle's wireless charging device, communicates with the vehicle's wireless charging device through the first protocol, so that the changing magnetic field emitted by the vehicle's wireless charging device can be converted into alternating current by the charging receiving end coil 04, and then the alternating current is converted into direct current by the charging receiving end controller to perform the next step. Among them, the first protocol can be the EPP protocol, or other vehicle-built-in wireless charging protocols. In this application, the changing magnetic field generated by the device to be converted or the charging transmitting end coil can be an alternating electromagnetic field, and energy transmission in the wireless charging process can be achieved with the help of the changing magnetic field.

[0106] The charging receiver controller is connected to the charging transmitter controller. This connection can be direct or indirect via a power conversion chip (DC / DC chip). The charging transmitter controller is used to convert the direct current received from the charging receiver controller into alternating current with the required specific voltage and current.

[0107] The charging transmitter controller is connected to the charging transmitter coil 02, and is used to convert direct current into alternating current, and transmit it to the charging transmitter coil 02, and is used to communicate with the device to be charged using the second protocol. Specifically, the charging transmitter controller transmits alternating current to the charging transmitter coil 02, so that the charging transmitter coil 02 generates a changing magnetic field, and the charging transmitter controller, as the part that is docked with the mobile phone, communicates with the mobile phone through the second protocol. At this time, the second protocol can be the MPP protocol (for example, the latest version of the MPP protocol), so that the changing magnetic field emitted by the charging transmitter coil 02 can be received by the mobile phone, and then converted into charging power through the inside of the mobile phone. During this period, since the charging transmitter controller and the mobile phone can communicate and interact using the MPP protocol, it can serve as an intermediate transition. Even if the vehicle's wireless charging device is not updated, mobile phones compatible with the second protocol can be charged, thereby improving the charging efficiency of some mobile phones including iPhones. Of course, the second communication protocol can also be other protocols, not limited to the MPP protocol, as long as it can adapt to the device to be charged. Optionally, such as Figure 1 As shown, multiple groups of charging transmitter coils 02 can be provided, and multiple groups of charging transmitter coils 02 are provided in parallel, so that simultaneous charging of multiple locations and multiple different products can be achieved.

[0108] The main controller is respectively connected to the charging transmitter controller and the charging receiver controller for overall detection of voltage stability, ensuring smooth communication management, and controlling the overall output stability of the charging transmitter controller and the charging receiver controller.

[0109] At this point, the working principle and main structural components of the wireless charging adapter of the present application have been expanded. The wireless charging adapter of the present application can be directly purchased and attached to the vehicle for use without modifying the vehicle. It can be fixed by gluing or snapping, which has low overall cost and is more convenient. However, due to the limited application space of the product in different occasions, for example, it is necessary to stack a wireless charging adapter on top of the wireless charging device of the vehicle for use. In this case, the thickness requirements of the wireless charging adapter will be very strict. Based on this problem, the present application proposes multiple technical solutions to achieve thickness control. The following continues to combine a possible specific implementation method to fully expand the structural solution of the wireless charging adapter of the present application.

[0110] It should be noted that this application adopts a design of multiple overlapping technical structures in order to reduce the thickness. The overlapping in this application means Figure 6 、 Figure 7 As shown, in the Z direction of the thickness direction, the charging transmitter coil 02 and the first magnet unit 121 have an overlapping L2 part and a non-overlapping L1 part in the Z direction. This is interpreted as the charging transmitter coil 02 and the first magnet unit 121 partially overlapping (L2). If L1 = 0, they are fully overlapped, and if L2 = 0, they are non-overlapping.

[0111] like Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the housing 01 is further provided with a first tray 05 and a bracket 07, a receiving groove 071 is provided in the middle portion of the bracket 07, the charging transmitter coil 02 is provided in the first tray 05, the circuit board assembly 03 is provided in the receiving groove 071, and the charging receiver coil 04 is provided between the bottom of the housing 01 and the bracket 07, so that the devices in the housing 01 are arranged in order from top to bottom: the charging transmitter coil 02, the first tray 05, the bracket 07, the circuit board assembly 03, and the charging receiver coil 04. It should be noted that the top-down arrangement referred to in this application is, Figure 6 The Z-up direction is from the first surface 015 to the second surface 016 , which is also the thickness direction of the wireless charging adapter of the present application.

[0112] Compared to simply arranging the charging transmitter coil 02, first tray 05, circuit board assembly 03, bracket 07, and charging receiver coil 04 in a non-overlapping sequence, this application provides a receiving slot 071 in the middle of bracket 07 and positions the circuit board assembly 03 within this slot. This allows for partial or full overlap between the circuit board assembly 03 and bracket 07, reducing the overall thickness of the wireless charging adapter. Furthermore, positioning the charging transmitter coil 02 within the first tray 05 also allows for partial or full overlap between the charging transmitter coil 02 and the first tray 05, further reducing the overall thickness of the wireless charging device.

[0113] Continue reading Figures 2 to 6 、 Figure 10 、 Figure 11 Specifically, a first magnetic shielding member 08 is further provided in the housing 01. The first magnetic shielding member 08 has a first groove 081 facing the first surface 015 of the housing 01. The charging transmitter coil 02 is provided in the first groove 081. The first magnetic shielding member 08 is provided in the first tray 05. The first surface 015 of the housing 01 is the surface close to the device to be charged (mobile phone). The first magnetic shielding member 08 has a first through hole 0811. The first through hole 0811 is provided on the side wall of the first groove 081, or at the edge of the first magnetic shielding member 08. A second magnetic shielding member 09 is further provided in the housing 01. The second magnetic shielding member 09 has a second groove 091 facing the second surface 016 of the housing 01. The charging receiver coil 04 is provided in the groove. The second magnetic shielding member 09 is provided between the bottom of the housing 01 and the bracket 07. The second surface 016 of the housing 01 is the surface close to the device to be converted (the vehicle's wireless charging device). The second magnetic isolation member 09 is provided with a second through hole 0911 . The second through hole 0911 is provided on a side wall of the second groove 091 , or at an edge of the second magnetic isolation member 09 .

[0114] Since both the first surface 015 and the second surface 016 of the product need to conduct electromagnetic induction with external equipment, preventing the two from interfering with each other is something that the wireless charging adapter of this application needs to focus on. Therefore, the design of the first magnetic isolation member 08 and the second magnetic isolation member 09 can isolate the magnetic field at the charging transmitter coil 02 and the magnetic field at the charging receiver coil 04 from interfering with each other. The design of the first groove 081, on the one hand, can enable the first magnetic isolation member 08 and the charging transmitter coil 02 to partially or fully overlap, reducing the overall thickness of the product. On the other hand, it can also better avoid the leakage of magnetic flux from the charging transmitter coil 02. Similarly, the design of the second groove 091 also achieves the goal of reducing thickness and reducing the risk of magnetic flux leakage. In order to realize the electrical connection between the charging transmitter coil 02 and the circuit board assembly 03, a first through hole 0811 is further provided on the first magnetic isolation member 08, and a second through hole 0911 is further provided on the second magnetic isolation member 09. It should be noted that the first through hole 0811 and the second through hole 0911 mentioned in this application do not specifically refer to holes that are closed on all sides. Figure 10 、 Figure 11 The opening holes shown are also of the type of through holes mentioned in this application. There are also many options for the installation positions of the first through hole 0811 and the second through hole 0911. The through holes can be as follows: Figure 10 The first through hole 0811 shown is at the edge of the first magnetic isolation member 08. For example, the position more than 40% of the total distance away from the center is defined as the edge. Compared with the hole at the center, this design can reduce the leakage of magnetic flux and further improve the stability of the product. Of course, the through hole can also be Figure 11 The second through hole 0911 shown is on the side wall of the second magnetic isolation member 09. It can be an open hole or a hole closed on all sides. The shape of the hole can be rectangular, semicircular, circular, triangular, etc., and those skilled in the art can reasonably open it according to needs.

[0115] Continue reading Figures 2 to 7 Specifically, a magnetic attraction portion 12 is further provided on the edge of the charging transmitter coil 02 within the first tray 05. The first tray 05 is provided with a step 051, and the magnetic attraction portion 12 is provided above the step 051, so that the height of the magnetic attraction portion 12 is higher than the height of the charging transmitter coil 02, and the magnetic attraction portion 12 at least partially overlaps with the height direction of the charging transmitter coil 02. The magnetic attraction portion 12 includes a first magnet unit 121 and a second magnet unit 122. The N / S poles of the first magnet unit 121 and the S / N poles of the second magnet unit 122 attract and connect with each other. Multiple groups of first magnet units 121 and second magnet units 122 are connected end to end to form the magnetic attraction portion 12. The first magnet unit 121 and the second magnet unit 122 are fixed by a gasket 123 and then are integrally provided on the step 051.

[0116] In existing vehicles, not all wireless charging devices are equipped with a magnetic design. For wireless charging devices that are not equipped with a magnetic design, the phone may not be placed in the center, which affects the charging efficiency. The wireless charging adapter of this application, by introducing the design of the magnetic part 12, can make up for the shortcomings of existing vehicles, achieve precise alignment of the phone and the charging transmitter coil 02, and avoid the phone from bumping around on bumpy roads. In addition, Figure 7 As shown, the magnetic portion 12 is arranged to partially overlap the charging transmitter coil 02 by a dimension L2. This not only reduces the thickness of the overall device, but also reduces the impact of the magnetic portion 12 on the charging transmitter coil 02. Furthermore, the magnetic portion 12 is higher than the charging transmitter coil 02 by a dimension L1, which enables the clamping cover 012 to simultaneously clamp the magnetic portion 12 and the charging transmitter coil 02 via a boss, thus preventing the charging transmitter coil 02 and the magnetic portion 12 from being uncompressed due to dimensional tolerances. Furthermore, since the magnetic portion 12 itself is typically a permanent magnet with relatively weak magnetic force, placing the magnetic portion 12 closer to the first surface 015 can more securely secure the phone, further enhancing the product's practicality.

[0117] Continue reading Figure 4 、 Figure 6 Specifically, a capacitor 13 is further provided on the side of the bracket 07 , and the capacitor 13 is arranged side by side with the accommodating groove 071 .

[0118] As one of the larger components of the present application, the rationality of the arrangement of the capacitor 13 directly affects the overall thickness of the wireless charging adapter device of the present application. In addition to making the accommodating groove 071 overlap with the circuit board assembly 03, the present application also arranges the capacitor 13 and the accommodating groove 071 side by side, thereby achieving partial or full overlap of the circuit board assembly 03, the accommodating groove 071, and the capacitor 13, thereby greatly reducing the overall thickness of the product.

[0119] Continue reading Figure 4 、 Figure 6 、 Figures 8 to 10Specifically, a second tray 06 is further provided in the outer shell 01, and the circuit board assembly 03 is provided in the receiving groove 071 through the second tray 06. An intermediate support cover 10 is further provided between the second tray 06 and the first tray 05, and the intermediate support cover 10 is covered on the second tray 06. The first tray 05 is provided with a protrusion 052 on the second surface 016 facing the outer shell 01, and an insertion hole 101 is correspondingly provided on the intermediate support cover 10, and the protrusion 052 is inserted into the insertion hole 101 so that there is no relative displacement between the first tray 05 and the intermediate support cover 10; an intermediate bottom support 11 is further provided under the second tray 06, and a stepped platform 0711 is further provided in the receiving groove 071 of the bracket 07, the intermediate bottom support 11 is provided on the stepped platform 0711, and the second tray 06 is provided on the intermediate bottom support 11. It should be noted that the insertion hole 101 can be as follows Figure 8 The open hole shown can also be a hole closed on all sides.

[0120] Although the first magnetic isolation member 08 and the second magnetic isolation member 09 are provided, the magnetic isolation requirement of the circuit board assembly 03 itself is still relatively high, and in order to achieve electrical connection, the charging transmitter coil 02 needs to pass through the first through hole 0811, the first wire hole 053, and the second wire hole 102 to enter the second tray 06. At this time, there is still some magnetic leakage in the first through hole 0811. Although the amount of magnetic leakage is not large, it is still necessary to take sufficient precautions. The same is true for the charging receiver coil 04. Therefore, the wireless charging adapter of the present application is also provided with a second tray 06 and an intermediate support cover 10, which can be used to place the circuit board assembly 03 as a whole, acting as a magnetic shielding cover. In order to facilitate the determination of the overlap between the second tray 06 and the receiving groove 071, a stepped platform 0711 is also provided, and the second tray 06 is set on the stepped platform 0711 through the intermediate bottom support 11, so that the overlap between the second tray 06 and the receiving groove 071 is always in a preset state without any movement when not fixed, which facilitates the control of the overall thickness. In addition, as Figure 8 As shown, in order to further reduce the overall thickness and ensure the stability of the product structure, the present application also provides a protrusion 052 under the first tray 05, and correspondingly provides an insertion hole 101 on the middle support cover 10. The protrusion 052 is inserted into the insertion hole 101, so that there is no relative rotation between the two. By pressing the compression cover 012, the internal whole is finally achieved without displacement. Compared with the solution of adding a glue layer in the middle to fix it, this design saves raw materials and is easier to assemble. Most importantly, the thickness after assembly is the superposition of the thickness of the two. Compared with the setting of the glue layer, the solution of the present application at least reduces the space occupied by the glue layer, thereby further reducing the thickness of the wireless charging adapter.

[0121] Continue reading Figure 4 、 Figure 6Specifically, the housing 01 includes a base 011 and a compression cover 012, wherein the base 011 is fixedly connected to the compression cover 012. An exterior cover 013 is sleeved on the outside of the compression cover 012.

[0122] The compression cover 012 can secure the internal structure, and the appearance cover 013 is arranged outside the compression cover 012 to further meet special requirements such as anti-slip and rainproof. Of course, although the present application schematically illustrates the case 01 including the base 011 and the compression cover 012, the case 01 of the present application can obviously also be a chamber 014 formed by the engagement of the left and right grooves. Such simple changes fall within the scope of protection of the case 01 of the present application.

[0123] In summary, this application has at least the following advantages:

[0124] 1. The overall structural principle layout enables this application to avoid vehicle modification and also enables vehicles that need to be upgraded to use the latest charging protocol, thereby improving the charging efficiency of some mobile phones.

[0125] 2. The overlapping design of the receiving groove 071 and the circuit board assembly 03 makes the wireless charging adapter of the present application thinner.

[0126] 3. The design of the first and second magnetic shielding members 08 and 09 minimizes the interaction between the charging transmitter coil 02 and the charging receiver coil 04 during use of the present invention, controlling the magnetic field within the product. Furthermore, the first magnetic shielding member 08 overlaps with the first tray 05 and the charging transmitter coil 02, while the second magnetic shielding member 09 overlaps with the charging receiver coil 04, making the overall product thinner. The edge design of the first and second through-holes 0811 and 0911 reduces magnetic flux leakage.

[0127] 4. The design of the magnetic part 12 not only fixes the mobile phone more firmly, but also reduces the mutual magnetic disturbance. The overlap of the magnetic part 12 and the charging transmitter coil 02 also makes the overall device thinner, making it easier to tighten the pressing cover 012 and requiring lower precision.

[0128] 5. The overlap of the capacitor 13, the receiving slot 071, and the circuit board assembly 03 makes the wireless charging adapter of the present application thinner.

[0129] 6. The magnetic shielding cover design of the second tray 06 and the middle support cover 10 makes the overall magnetic shielding effect better.

[0130] 7. The design of the protrusion 052 and the insertion hole 101 of the middle support cover 10 and the first tray 05 makes the entire product without a glue layer, which makes the product thinner, easier to assemble, and has a better fixing effect.

[0131] 8. The design of the middle base 11 and the stepped platform 0711 can more accurately confirm the overlapping degree of the second tray 06, making it easier to control product quality and making the product thinner.

[0132] 9. The appearance cover 013 and the pressing cover 012 are designed separately, so that they can respectively respond to different technical problems, so that the top can be stably pressed by the hard pressing cover 012, and can also play an anti-slip role through the soft rubber appearance cover 013.

[0133] 10. Multiple sets of charging transmitter coils 02 are arranged side by side, for example, they can be arranged side by side in the first tray 05. The first tray 05 can be expanded in the horizontal dimension accordingly. Multiple sets of charging transmitter coils 02 are connected in parallel to achieve multiple charging positions at the same time, which is convenient for charging multiple identical or different devices.
