Detailed Implementation

[0020] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0021] Vehicles are typically equipped with smart device charging devices so that passengers can charge their smart devices inside the vehicle. To avoid interfering with driving operations while the smart devices are charging, it is necessary to design a smart device charging device that can conceal the smart devices. Furthermore, a drive motor can be designed to enable the opening and closing of various structures within the charging device, thereby improving automation while reducing costs.

[0022] The following is for reference. Figures 1-10 A smart device charging device according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0023] The smart device charging device 1 according to the present invention includes a housing 11, a base 12, a driving device 13, a charging bracket 14, and a lifting cover 15. The housing 11 has a receiving cavity 111 inside; the base 12 is received in the receiving cavity 111 and located at the bottom of the receiving cavity 111; the driving device 13 is disposed on the base 12 and is provided with an output shaft 131; the charging bracket 14 is movably disposed on the housing 11 and can be selectively received in the receiving cavity 111, and a charging unit is provided on the charging bracket 14; the lifting cover 15 is movably disposed on the housing 11 and can selectively close the opening of the receiving cavity 111; wherein, the output shaft 131 of the driving device 13 is in a transmission cooperation with the charging bracket 14 and the lifting cover 15 respectively to drive the lifting cover 15 and the charging bracket 14 respectively.

[0024] The smart device charging device 1 according to the present invention includes a housing 11, within which a receiving cavity 111 is formed that opens towards the top. The receiving cavity 111 can accommodate the smart device and other structures of the smart device charging device 1, and the opening facilitates the placement of the smart device within the receiving cavity 111. A base 12 is provided at the bottom of the housing 11, located within the receiving cavity 111. The base 12 can be connected to the vehicle body to support the housing 11 and the entire smart device charging device 1. The box body 11 is equipped with a height-adjustable charging bracket 14, which is equipped with a charging unit, such as a charging port or a wireless charging device. When it is necessary to charge a smart device, the smart device can be placed on the charging bracket 14. The charging bracket 14 can support the smart device, and the charging unit can charge the smart device. Moreover, the height-adjustable design of the charging bracket 14 allows it to be lowered and retracted into the receiving cavity 111 of the box body 11 after carrying the smart device. This reduces the space occupied by the entire smart device charging device 1 and avoids the charging bracket 14 protruding and affecting the driving experience, thus improving the user experience of the smart device charging device 1. Meanwhile, since the top of the box 11 has an open opening for the receiving cavity 111, in order to prevent debris from entering the receiving cavity 111 and affecting the safety of the smart device charging device 1, the smart device charging device 1 also has a liftable cover 15 at the open opening of the box 11. The liftable cover 15 can close the open opening of the box 11, and when charging is needed, the liftable cover 15 can be opened and the charging bracket 14 can be raised to facilitate the placement of the smart device. In addition, the smart device charging device 1 is also equipped with a drive device 13, which is fixed to the base 12 to ensure the stability of the drive device 13. The drive device 13 is equipped with an output shaft 131, which can be linked with the lifting cover 15 and the charging bracket 14 to drive the lifting cover 15 and the charging bracket 14 to move respectively. For example, when charging is required, the drive device 13 can be activated. The drive device 13 controls the lifting cover 15 to rise and open the opening of the receiving cavity 111. At the same time, the drive device 13 can also control the charging bracket 14 to rise so as to place the smart device. Then, the drive device 13 controls the charging bracket 14 to fall back into the receiving cavity 111 to start charging the smart device, and controls the lifting cover 15 to close the opening of the receiving cavity 111 to ensure the safety of the smart device during charging. In the whole process, only one drive device 13 is needed to realize the automated control of the lifting cover 15 and the charging bracket 14, which is convenient to operate and low in cost.

[0025] According to the present invention, the smart device charging device 1 controls the opening and closing of the lifting cover 15 and the lifting of the charging bracket 14 through a driving device 13, thereby realizing the automation of smart device charging, which is convenient to operate and has low cost. When charging, the charging bracket 14 is hidden in the receiving cavity 111 of the box body 11, which occupies little space and provides a high user experience.

[0026] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the lifting cover 15 has a first travel distance in the height direction, and the charging bracket 14 has a second travel distance in the height direction; wherein the lifting cover 15 and the charging bracket 14 move synchronously, and the first travel distance is greater than the second travel distance. The lifting cover 15 and the charging bracket 14 have a first travel distance and a second travel distance in the height direction, respectively. The first travel distance is the distance the lifting cover 15 moves when it rises or falls, and the second travel distance is the distance the charging bracket 14 moves when it rises or falls. During charging, the lifting cover 15 needs to be raised to open the receiving cavity 111, and the charging bracket 14 needs to be raised to facilitate the placement of smart devices. Therefore, the first travel distance needs to be greater than the second travel distance. This can be understood as the lifting height of the lifting cover 15 being higher than the lifting height of the charging bracket 14, so that sufficient space can be reserved between the lifting cover 15 and the charging bracket 14 to facilitate the placement of smart devices. The synchronous movement of the lifting cover 15 and the charging bracket 14 can make the rising and falling actions of the lifting cover 15 and the charging bracket 14 more coordinated, avoiding jamming or malfunctions caused by asynchronous actions, improving the stability and reliability of the smart device charging device 1. This not only improves the automation level of the smart device charging device 1, but also greatly enhances the user experience, making it more convenient and safer for drivers and passengers to charge smart devices in the car.

[0027] In some embodiments, the synchronous movement of the lifting cover 15 and the charging bracket 14 can be achieved by rationally designing the transmission structure and linkage relationship between the output shaft 131 of the drive device 13 and the lifting cover 15 and the charging bracket 14. For example, different gears or transmission components can be provided on the output shaft 131 to be linked with the mating parts on the lifting cover 15 and the charging bracket 14 respectively. By precisely controlling the transmission ratio of the gears or transmission components, the lifting cover 15 and the charging bracket 14 can be kept synchronized during movement.

[0028] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the lifting cover 15 includes: a cover body 151 and a first support leg 152152. The cover body 151 is adapted to cover the opening of the receiving cavity 111; the first support leg 152152 is disposed on the cover body 151 and extends in the height direction. The first support leg 152152 is provided with a first engaging portion 153 that is linked with the output shaft 131 in the height direction. The first engaging portion 153 is arranged within a first travel range of the first support leg 152152. Figure 1As shown, the lifting cover 15 is provided with a cover body 151 and a first support leg 152152. The cover body 151 covers the opening of the receiving cavity 111 to close the receiving cavity 111, while the first support leg 152152 is provided at the bottom or edge of the cover body 151 and extends towards the base 12. The first support leg 152152 can support the cover body 151. The first support leg 152152 is provided with a first mating part 153 extending in the height direction. The first mating part 153 can be linked with the output shaft 131 of the drive device 13. When the drive device 13 is working, the output shaft 131 rotates. At this time, the first support leg 152152 passes through the first... The linkage between the mating part 153 and the output shaft 131 can move along the height direction, thereby driving the cover 151 to rise and open the receiving cavity 111 or fall and close the receiving cavity 111. The setting of the first mating part 153 realizes the linkage between the lifting cover 15 and the output shaft 131, which can convert the rotation of the output shaft 131 into the movement of the lifting cover 15 in the height direction. Moreover, the first mating part 153 is arranged within the first travel range of the first support 152152, so that the lifting cover 15 can remain stable during the movement, avoiding shaking or jamming, and improving the stability and reliability of the smart device charging device 1.

[0029] In some embodiments, the first mating part 153 may be designed as a rack, thread or other structure, which cooperates with the gear or nut or other transmission component on the output shaft 131 to realize the lifting and lowering movement of the lifting cover 15.

[0030] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of first legs 152152 are spaced apart on the cover 151, and a first mating portion 153 is formed on the first legs 152152. A transmission member is provided between the output shaft 131 and the first mating portion 153 to drive the first legs 152152 to move in the height direction. Designing the first legs 152152 to be spaced apart on the cover 151 can enhance the stability of the lifting cover 15. The first mating portions 153 on the plurality of first legs 152152 respectively engage with the output shaft 131 at different positions, so that the lifting cover 15 is subjected to more uniform force during the lifting process, the movement process is more stable, and deformation or damage caused by single-point force can be reduced, thereby improving the service life and stability of the lifting cover 15 during movement.

[0031] Meanwhile, the first mating parts 153 on the multiple first support legs 152152 can cooperate with the output shaft 131 through transmission components to form a stable transmission relationship, further enhancing the stability and reliability of the lifting cover 15's movement. The transmission components provided between the output shaft 131 and the first mating parts 153 can be of appropriate types according to actual needs, such as gear transmission, worm gear transmission, etc., to achieve different transmission ratios and transmission efficiencies, meeting the lifting requirements of the lifting cover 15 under different working conditions.

[0032] According to one embodiment of the present invention, two first support legs 152152 are respectively provided with first mating parts 153, and the first mating parts 153 are constructed as first racks; the transmission component is constructed as first transmission gears 181, and the two first transmission gears 181 respectively mesh with the first output gears 132 provided on the output shaft 131. In the design, multiple first support legs 152152 can be provided, wherein at least two first support legs 152152 are respectively provided with first mating parts 153, and these two first support legs 152152 can be symmetrically arranged about the output shaft 131 to facilitate simultaneous engagement with the output shaft 131. The two first support legs 152152 are located on opposite sides of the output shaft 131, ensuring uniform force on both sides when the first support legs 152152 are linked with the output shaft 131, thereby ensuring the stability of the entire lifting cover 15 when moving in the height direction. The first mating parts 153 on the first support legs 152152 are constructed as first racks, and the transmission component is constructed as first transmission gears 181. During assembly, the output shaft 1... The first output gear 132 on the output shaft 131 meshes with the first transmission gears 181 on both sides of the output shaft 131. At the same time, the first transmission gears 181 mesh with the corresponding first racks. When the drive device 13 is started, the output shaft 131 rotates to provide driving force to drive the first transmission gears 181 to rotate. The first transmission gears 181 then transmit power to the first racks. By means of the linkage between the gears and racks, the rotation of the output shaft 131 is converted into the movement of the first racks in the height direction, thereby realizing the raising and lowering of the lifting cover 15. The setting of the two first support feet 152152 allows the output shaft 131 to transmit driving force to the lifting cover 15 from different positions, ensuring the stability of the lifting cover 15 when it moves.

[0033] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the charging bracket 14 includes: a charging base 141 and a second leg 142. The charging base 141 is provided with a charging unit; the second leg 142 is disposed on the charging base 141 and extends in the height direction. The second leg 142 is provided with a second mating part 143 that is linked with the output shaft 131 in the height direction. The second mating part 143 is arranged within the range of the second travel of the second leg 142.

[0034] The charging stand 14 consists of a charging base 141 and a second leg 142. The charging base 141 serves as the main part that supports smart devices and provides charging functionality. The charging unit on the charging base 141 can be a charging port, a wireless charging module, etc., to meet the charging needs of different types of smart devices. The second leg 142 is located at the bottom of the charging base 141 and extends in the height direction to provide support for the charging base 141. The second mating part 143 on the second leg 142 forms a linkage relationship with the output shaft 131 of the drive device 13. When the output shaft 131 rotates, it transmits power to the second mating part 143, which drives the second leg 142 to move in the height direction, thereby realizing the lifting and lowering of the charging base 141. The second mating part 143 is arranged within the second travel range of the second leg 142 to ensure that the charging base 141 can operate smoothly during the lifting and lowering process, avoiding shaking or jamming. At the same time, the design of the second travel range is coordinated with the first travel range of the lifting cover 15 to jointly realize the automated control of the smart device charging device 1.

[0035] In some embodiments, the second mating part 143 can be configured as a second rack, and a second output gear 133 can also be provided on the output shaft 131. The second output gear 133 is arranged coaxially with the first output gear 132. Correspondingly, a second transmission gear can be provided between the second rack and the second output gear 133. When the drive device 13 is started, the second output gear 133 transmits the driving force to the second transmission gear, and the second transmission gear transmits the power to the second rack, thereby driving the second support leg 142 to move the support base in the height direction, thereby realizing the raising and lowering of the charging bracket 14.

[0036] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the smart device charging device 1 further includes a locking member 16, which is retractably disposed on the base 12. The locking member 16 supports the charging bracket 14 after it moves to the upper stop point of the second travel stroke. The locking member 16 provides stable support for the charging bracket 14 after it rises to the upper stop point of the second travel stroke, preventing the charging bracket 14 from falling due to external forces or its own gravity, thereby ensuring the stability and safety of the smart device charging device 1. Specifically, when the charging bracket 14 rises to a designated position under the drive of the driving device 13, the locking member 16 extends and abuts against the charging bracket 14, forming a stable support structure. At this time, even if the charging bracket 14 is subjected to a certain external force, the charging bracket 14 will not easily fall due to the supporting effect of the locking member 16, facilitating the placement of the smart device. In addition, the retractable design of the locking member 16 allows the charging bracket 14 to retract into the base 12 when no support is needed (e.g., after the smart device is placed), without taking up extra space, thus improving the overall compactness and aesthetics of the smart device charging device 1.

[0037] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the charging bracket 14 is provided with a locking hole 144, and the lifting cover 15 is provided with a stop portion 154, which extends to the upper stop position of the second moving stroke; the locking member 16 includes a locking pin 161 and a mating pin 162. The locking pin 161 is telescopically disposed on the base 12 and can be selectively engaged with the locking hole 144. The mating pin 162 is connected to the locking pin 161 and moves synchronously. Within the range of the first moving stroke, the mating pin 162 abuts against the stop portion 154 and keeps the locking pin 161 in a compressed state. Beyond the second moving stroke, the mating pin 162 disengages from the stop portion 154.

[0038] The locking member 16 is provided with a locking pin 161 and a mating pin 162. The locking pin 161 is telescopically mounted on the base 12. The locking pin 161 can extend out and engage with the locking hole 144 of the charging bracket 14 to limit the charging bracket 14, or it can retract to release the limitation on the charging bracket 14. The mating pin 162 is connected to the locking pin 161 and can move synchronously with the locking pin 161. The mating pin 162 can abut against the stop portion 154 on the lifting cover 15 to limit the extension of the locking pin 161, or the mating pin 162 can disengage from the stop portion 154 on the lifting cover 15 to release the limitation on the extension of the locking pin 161, thereby realizing the locking and unlocking functions of the locking member 16 on the charging bracket 14.

[0039] Specifically, the upper stop point of the second travel of the charging bracket 14 can be understood as the position where the charging bracket 14 is raised to its maximum height. This can be achieved by limiting the arrangement of the second mating part 143. For example, the second mating part 143 is arranged within the second travel. When the charging bracket 14 completes its second travel during its upward movement, the second output gear 133 or the second transmission gear disengages from the second mating part 143, thus breaking the linkage between the second support leg 142 and the output shaft 131. At this time, even if the drive device 13 continues to work, the charging bracket 14 will not rise. Simultaneously, the locking pin 161 can pop out and engage with the locking hole 144 on the charging bracket 14 to support the charging bracket 14 and prevent the charging bracket 14 from... The charging bracket 14 descends under the influence of gravity to maintain its current position, i.e., to keep the charging bracket 14 at the upper limit of the second travel stroke. During this process, since the second output gear 133 and the first output gear 132 are coaxial, the lifting cover 15 moves synchronously with the charging bracket 14. When the charging bracket 14 is at the upper limit of the second travel stroke, since the first travel stroke is greater than the second travel stroke, or simply understood as the length of the first mating part 153 in the height direction being greater than the length of the second mating part 143 in the height direction, the lifting cover 15 can continue to rise, thereby forming a certain space between the cover body 151 of the lifting cover 15 and the charging base 141 of the charging bracket 14, which is convenient for placing smart devices. Before the charging bracket 14 moves to the upper limit of the second travel stroke, the mating pin 162 abuts against the stop portion 154 on the lifting cover 15, thereby restricting the extension of the locking pin 161 and keeping the locking pin 161 in a compressed state. During this process, the locking pin 161 does not restrict the charging bracket 14, and the charging bracket 14 can rise smoothly. Since the stop portion 154 only extends to the upper limit position of the second travel stroke, it can be simply understood that the lower end of the stop portion 154 and the lower end of the second mating portion 143 are at the same height. Therefore, when the charging bracket 14 rises to the upper limit of the second travel stroke, the second mating portion 143 disengages from the output shaft 131. At the same time, the mating pin 162 disengages from the stop portion 154, and the locking pin 161 extends out of the base 12 under its own elastic force and accurately inserts into the locking hole 144 on the charging bracket 14, thereby providing stable support for the charging bracket 14 and preventing the charging bracket 14 from falling. The locking element 16 is cleverly designed to take advantage of the difference in the travel of the lifting cover 15 and the charging bracket 14. Through the interaction between the locking pin 162 and the stop part 154, the automatic extension and retraction control of the locking element 16 is realized. No additional drive mechanism is required, which simplifies the structure of the smart device charging device 1, reduces the cost, and improves the stability and reliability of the smart device charging device 1.

[0040] In some embodiments, the lower end of the stop portion 154 can be machined with a guide slope. After the smart device is placed, the drive motor drives the output shaft 131 to reverse, and the first output gear 132 drives the lifting cover 15 to descend. At this time, the mating pin 162 contacts the guide slope and gradually retracts under the drive of the guide slope. As the lifting cover 15 descends, the mating pin 162 moves along the guide slope to re-abut against the stop portion 154 and simultaneously drives the locking member 16 to compress and retract, thereby releasing the restriction on the charging bracket 14. The charging bracket 14 descends under the action of gravity, so that the second mating portion 143 re-meets with the second output gear 133 or the second transmission gear, thereby causing the charging bracket 14 and the lifting cover 15 to descend and retract into the receiving cavity 111 simultaneously, so that the smart device can be charged in the receiving cavity 111.

[0041] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the smart device charging device 1 further includes an elastic element 17, which is disposed between the locking element 16 and the base 12. The elastic element 17, disposed between the locking element 16 and the base 12, can provide elastic force to the locking element 16, ensuring that the locking element 16 can automatically extend or retract under specific conditions. Specifically, when the charging bracket 14 rises to the upper stop point of the second travel stroke, the mating pin 162 disengages from the stop portion 154, and the locking element 16 automatically extends under the elastic force of the elastic element 17 and inserts into the locking hole 144 on the charging bracket 14, thereby providing stable support for the charging bracket 14. When the charging bracket 14 needs to descend, during the descent of the lifting cover 15, the mating pin 162 contacts the guide slope and moves along the guide slope. At this time, the elastic element 17 is compressed, the locking element 16 retracts, releasing the restriction on the charging bracket 14, and the charging bracket 14 can then descend under gravity. The elastic element 17 simplifies the structure of the smart device charging device 1 and makes the operation of the locking element 16 more reliable.

[0042] The vehicle according to the present invention is briefly described below.

[0043] The vehicle according to the present invention includes the smart device charging device 1 in the above embodiments. Since the vehicle according to the present invention is equipped with the smart device charging device 1 in the above embodiments, the smart device charging device 1 drives the lifting cover 15 and the charging bracket 14 to move through a driving device 13, thereby realizing the automation of smart device charging, which is low in cost and easy to operate. Users can conveniently charge smart devices while driving the vehicle, thus improving the user experience of the vehicle.

[0044] In some embodiments, the smart device may be a watch, a mobile phone, etc.

[0045] In some embodiments, the drive unit 13 can be connected to the vehicle's central control system, allowing for precise control of the drive unit 13. Users can easily control the lifting and lowering of the lifting cover 15 and the movement of the charging bracket 14 simply by operating the central control screen. For example, if a user finds that the smart device's battery is low after entering the vehicle, they can simply click the corresponding button on the central control interface, and the drive unit 13 will start, moving the lifting cover 15 and the charging bracket 14 to a suitable position according to a preset program, making it convenient for the user to place the smart device. After the smart device is placed, the user can also control the drive unit 13 through the central control system to retract the lifting cover 15 and the charging bracket 14 into the receiving cavity 111 to charge the smart device. The entire process is convenient and efficient, and during charging, the charging bracket 14 and the lifting cover 15 are located within the receiving cavity, which does not affect driving operations. In addition, the vehicle's central control system can monitor the working status of the drive unit 13 in real time. If any abnormality occurs, such as jamming of the transmission components or the locking member 16 failing to extend or retract normally, it can promptly issue an alarm to the user, facilitating timely handling and further improving the safety and reliability of the smart device charging device 1 in the vehicle.

[0046] In summary, the intelligent device charging device 1 according to the present invention achieves synchronous control of the charging bracket 14 and the lifting cover 15 by arranging a coaxial first output gear 132 and a second output gear 133 on the output shaft 131 of the drive device 13, which are respectively linked with the first mating part 153 of the lifting cover 15 and the second mating part 143 of the charging bracket 14. This not only simplifies the device structure but also reduces manufacturing costs. The locking member 16 utilizes the elastic drive of the elastic member 17 and the limiting effect of the mating pin 162 and the stop part 154 to achieve automatic locking when the charging bracket 14 rises to the limit position (the upper stop point of the second travel stroke) and automatic unlocking when it falls, without the need for an additional drive mechanism, thus improving the reliability and stability of the device. At the same time, by designing the first travel stroke and the second travel stroke, the intelligent device charging device allows the lifting cover to continue rising after the charging bracket rises to the limit position, thereby forming a space for placing intelligent devices between the charging base and the cover, which greatly facilitates user operation, significantly improves the user experience of the vehicle, and meets the user's need to charge intelligent devices during driving.
