Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle technology, and in particular to a charging device and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Wireless charging technology for vehicles originates from wireless power transmission technology. Wireless power transmission is also known as wireless energy transfer or wireless power transfer. When charging with a data cable, the charging port type must be distinguished, and some devices are not compatible. However, a wireless charging dock only needs to support wireless charging, regardless of the charging port type. Therefore, a wireless charging dock does improve the convenience of use.

[0003] However, since the wireless charging coil of a vehicle is usually located inside the vehicle body and cannot dissipate heat, the wireless charging device often overheats after working for a long time, resulting in slow charging. In addition, the overheating of the wireless charging device can also cause the phone to overheat and crash. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a charging device and a vehicle, aiming to solve the problem of overheating in wireless charging devices.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model provides a charging device including a housing, a charging component, and a heat dissipation component. The housing includes a first surface and a second surface disposed opposite to each other. The first surface is used to place a terminal device. The housing has a receiving cavity and a first opening. The first opening extends from the second surface into the receiving cavity. The charging component is disposed in the receiving cavity and is used to charge the terminal device. The heat dissipation component is connected to the second surface and communicates with the first opening.

[0007] This application incorporates a heat dissipation component that connects to the receiving cavity through a first opening. The charging component is located within the receiving cavity and can dissipate heat through the heat dissipation component, thus preventing the on-board wireless charging device from overheating and malfunctioning.

[0008] In some embodiments of this application, the heat dissipation component includes a cooling fan, and the air inlet of the cooling fan is connected to the first opening.

[0009] In this way, the cooling fan can draw air out of the housing, and the drawn air can carry away the heat of the charging components, thereby dissipating heat from the charging components. Moreover, the cooling fan is easier to install than other cooling devices.

[0010] In some embodiments of this application, the cooling fan is a turbine fan.

[0011] Thus, the turbine fan has characteristics such as quiet operation, which can reduce the noise of the in-vehicle wireless charging device and improve the user experience.

[0012] In some embodiments of this application, the housing is further provided with a clearance groove, which is recessed from the first surface toward the second surface.

[0013] In this way, the mobile terminal's camera can be placed in the clearance groove, which allows the mobile terminal to fit fully with the charging component, reducing the loss of the charging component when charging the mobile terminal and improving the charging efficiency of the charging device.

[0014] In some embodiments of this application, the housing is provided with ventilation holes that extend from the inner wall of the clearance groove into the receiving cavity.

[0015] In this way, air can enter the housing cavity through the ventilation holes and then be discharged from the housing cavity through the cooling fan from the first opening. The ventilation holes can accelerate the air circulation in the housing cavity, which can not only improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the charging component, but also prevent dust from accumulating on the charging component, causing the charging component to malfunction.

[0016] In some embodiments of this application, the housing is further provided with a mounting hole that extends from the first surface into the receiving cavity and is spaced apart from the clearance groove; the charging device also includes a charging panel that covers the mounting hole and is connected to the housing.

[0017] Thus, by placing the charging panel on the mounting holes on the first surface, the terminal device can be charged on the charging panel, improving the convenience of charging the terminal device.

[0018] In some embodiments of this application, the charging panel includes a glass panel and a display module, the glass panel covering the mounting holes, and the display module connected to the side of the glass panel facing the second surface.

[0019] In this way, users can understand the status of the charging device through the display module, making it more convenient for users to use the charging device. Glass has good heat dissipation properties, and making the charging panel material glass can allow some of the heat inside the charging device to dissipate from the charging panel, improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the charging device.

[0020] In some embodiments of this application, the charging component includes: a circuit board and a charging coil, wherein the circuit board is electrically connected to the charging panel; the charging coil is disposed on the side of the circuit board facing the first surface and is electrically connected to the circuit board.

[0021] By placing the charging coil on the side of the circuit board facing the first surface, the distance between the charging coil and the terminal device can be reduced, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the charging coil due to the distance and improving the charging efficiency of the charging device.

[0022] In some embodiments of this application, the charging device further includes a shielding cover disposed between the circuit board and the charging coil.

[0023] In this way, the shield can separate the coil and the circuit board. The shield can reduce the outward magnetic lines of force generated by the charging coil during the charging process, thereby reducing the impact of the charging coil on the circuit board and preventing eddy currents and signal interference.

[0024] A vehicle is provided that includes the above-described charging device.

[0025] Since the vehicle provided in this application embodiment includes the charging device described above, both can solve the same problem and achieve the same effect, and will not be described in detail here. Attached Figure Description

Specifically, the use of the terms "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a specific manner.

[0040] In the description of this specification, specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0041] Since the wireless charging coil of a vehicle is usually located inside the vehicle body and cannot dissipate heat, the wireless charging device often gets hot after working for a long time, resulting in slow charging. In addition, the overheating of the wireless charging device can also cause the phone to overheat and crash.

[0042] The front of the vehicle is typically equipped with a control panel and armrest box, and the wireless charging device can be installed on the control panel or armrest box.

[0043] To solve the above problems, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present invention provides a charging device 100 including a housing 10, a charging component 20, and a heat dissipation component 30. The housing 10 includes a first surface 131 and a second surface 141 disposed opposite to each other. The first surface 131 is used to place a terminal device. The housing 10 is provided with a receiving cavity 11 and a first opening 12. The first opening 12 extends from the second surface 141 into the receiving cavity 11. The charging component 20 is disposed in the receiving cavity 11 and is used to charge the terminal device. The heat dissipation component 30 is connected to the second surface 141 and communicates with the first opening 12.

[0044] The front of the vehicle is generally equipped with a control panel and an armrest box. The charging device 100 can be installed on the control panel or the armrest box, but this application does not limit this.

[0045] The material of the shell 10 can be metal, plastic or composite material, etc., and this application does not limit it.

[0046] The housing 10 can be connected to the vehicle's dashboard or armrest box, or it can be connected to other parts of the vehicle body. The housing 10 can also be part of the vehicle body, but this application does not limit this.

[0047] The heat dissipation component 30 can be a fan or a cooling air conditioner, etc., and this application does not limit it.

[0048] This application provides a heat dissipation component 30, which is connected to the receiving cavity 11 through the first opening 12. The charging component 20 is located inside the receiving cavity 11. The charging component 20 can dissipate heat through the heat dissipation component 30, thus preventing the vehicle-mounted wireless charging device 100 from overheating and malfunctioning.

[0049] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the housing 10 includes a first housing 13 and a second housing 14 disposed opposite to each other. A first surface 131 is located on the first housing 13, and a second surface 141 is located on the second housing 14. The second housing 14 is connected to the first housing 13. The second housing 14 and the first housing 13 are arranged in a vertical direction, and the first surface 131 is parallel to the horizontal plane. The first housing 13 and the second housing 14 enclose a receiving cavity 11. The second housing 14 has a first opening 12 that communicates with the receiving cavity 11.

[0050] Thus, by setting the housing 10 as the first housing 13 and the second housing 14, the first housing 13 and the second housing 14 can be connected after the charging component 20 is installed, which facilitates the installation of the charging component 20. Furthermore, by setting the first surface 131 to be parallel to the horizontal plane, the terminal device can be placed on the first surface 131 for charging, which makes the terminal device more stable during charging.

[0051] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the heat dissipation assembly 30 includes a heat dissipation fan 31, and the air inlet of the heat dissipation fan 31 is connected to the first opening 12.

[0052] The cooling fan 31 also includes an air outlet, which can be connected to the external space to exhaust the air in the housing 11 to the external space.

[0053] In this way, the cooling fan 31 can draw out the air in the housing cavity 11, and the drawn air can carry away the heat of the charging component 20, thereby dissipating heat from the charging component 20. Moreover, the cooling fan 31 is easier to install than other cooling devices.

[0054] In some embodiments of this application, the cooling fan 31 is a turbine fan.

[0055] Thus, the turbine fan has characteristics such as quiet operation, which can reduce the noise of the in-vehicle wireless charging device 100 when it is working, and improve the user experience.

[0056] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the housing 10 also includes a mounting plate 15, which is located at the first opening 12. The mounting plate 15 is connected to the side of the second surface 141 opposite to the first surface 131, and the mounting plate 15 extends toward the side away from the first surface 131. One side of the cooling fan 31 is connected to the mounting plate 15, and the air outlet of the cooling fan 31 faces the side away from the mounting plate 15.

[0057] In this way, the connection between one side of the cooling fan 31 and the mounting plate 15 can increase the connection area of ​​the cooling fan 31, making the installation of the cooling fan 31 more secure and preventing the cooling fan 31 from falling off and causing the charging device 100 to overheat.

[0058] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the housing 10 is also provided with a relief groove 132, which is recessed from the first surface 131 toward the second surface 141.

[0059] In this way, the camera of the mobile terminal can be placed in the clearance groove 132, which can make the mobile terminal and the charging component 20 fit together fully, reduce the loss of the charging component 20 when charging the mobile terminal, and improve the charging efficiency of the charging device 100.

[0060] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the housing 10 also includes a first support member 16, which is disposed on the side of the clearance groove 132 near the second surface 141, and the first support member 16 abuts against the clearance groove 132.

[0061] Thus, the first support member 16 can support the clearance groove 132, and the force borne by the clearance groove 132 can be transmitted from the first support member 16 to other parts of the housing 10, thereby increasing the strength of the clearance groove 132.

[0062] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the housing 10 is provided with a ventilation hole 133, which extends from the inner wall of the relief groove 132 into the receiving cavity 11.

[0063] In this way, air can enter the receiving cavity 11 through the ventilation hole 133, and then be discharged from the receiving cavity 11 through the cooling fan 31 from the first opening 12. The ventilation hole 133 can accelerate the air circulation in the receiving cavity 11, which can not only improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the charging component 20, but also prevent dust from accumulating on the charging component 20, causing the charging component 20 to malfunction.

[0064] The ventilation hole 133 can be provided on the bottom wall or side wall of the avoidance groove 132, and this application does not limit it.

[0065] The inner wall of the clearance groove 132 may be provided with one ventilation hole 133 or multiple ventilation holes 133, and this application does not limit this.

[0066] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the housing 10 is also provided with a mounting hole 134, which extends from the first surface 131 into the receiving cavity 11 and is spaced apart from the clearance groove 132; the charging device 100 also includes a charging panel 40, which covers the mounting hole 134 and is connected to the housing 10.

[0067] The charging panel 40 can be made of glass, metal or plastic, etc., and this application does not limit it.

[0068] Thus, by placing the charging panel 40 on the mounting hole 134 on the first surface 131, the terminal device can be charged on the charging panel 40, improving the convenience of charging the terminal device.

[0069] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the ventilation hole 133 is provided on the side wall of the avoidance groove 132 near the mounting hole 134, and the mounting hole 134, the receiving cavity 11 and the first opening 12 form a cooling channel.

[0070] In this way, air enters the receiving cavity 11 through the ventilation hole 133 and then exits through the first opening 12, thereby carrying away the heat in the receiving cavity 11 and cooling the charging component 20. By setting the ventilation hole 133 on the side wall of the avoidance groove 132 near the mounting hole 134, the charging component 20 can be brought closer to the ventilation hole 133, increasing the contact area between the charging component 20 and the cooling channel, thereby improving the cooling efficiency of the heat dissipation component 30.

[0071] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the housing 10 also includes a mounting groove 135, with the first surface 131 recessed towards the second surface 141 to form the mounting groove 135. A mounting hole 134 is disposed in the mounting groove 135 and extends from the bottom wall of the mounting groove 135 to the receiving cavity 11. A charging panel 40 is disposed in the mounting groove 135 and connected to the wall of the mounting groove 135. The charging panel 40 covers the mounting hole 134.

[0072] Thus, the charging panel 40 is placed in the mounting groove 135 and connected to the wall of the mounting groove 135. The groove can limit the position of the charging panel 40, making the installation of the charging panel 40 more secure and preventing the charging panel 40 from shaking, which would cause the mobile terminal to be unable to charge normally.

[0073] In some embodiments of this application, the charging panel 40 includes a glass panel and a display module, the glass panel covering the mounting hole 134, and the display module connected to the side of the glass panel facing the second surface 141.

[0074] The display panel can be used to display the charging status of the mobile terminal. The display panel can also be connected to the vehicle system. When no mobile terminal is charging, the display panel can be used for user interaction with the vehicle system.

[0075] In this way, users can understand the status of the charging device 100 through the display module, making it more convenient for users to use the charging device 100. Glass has good heat dissipation properties. By making the material of the charging panel 40 glass, some of the heat inside the charging device 100 can be dissipated from the charging panel 40, improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the charging device 100.

[0076] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the charging assembly 20 includes a circuit board 21 and a charging coil 22. The circuit board 21 is electrically connected to the charging panel 40. The charging coil 22 is located on the side of the circuit board 21 facing the first surface 131 and is electrically connected to the circuit board 21.

[0077] By placing the charging coil 22 on the side of the circuit board 21 facing the first surface 131, the distance between the charging coil 22 and the terminal device can be reduced, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the charging coil 22 due to the distance and improving the charging efficiency of the charging device 100.

[0078] In some embodiments of this application, the charging component 20 may include: a plurality of charging coils 22, the plurality of charging coils 22 being arranged at intervals, and all of the plurality of charging coils 22 being connected to the circuit board 21.

[0079] In this way, the charging efficiency of the charging component 20 can be improved, and when one of the charging coils 22 fails, the other charging coils 22 can still perform the charging function.

[0080] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the housing 10 also includes a second support member 17, which is disposed on the side of the circuit board 21 opposite to the first surface 131. The second support member 17 is used to support the circuit board 21.

[0081] In this way, the second support member 17 can support the circuit board 21, prevent the circuit board 21 from sliding, and make the circuit board 21 and the charging coil 22 more stable.

[0082] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the charging device 100 also includes a shield 23, which is disposed between the circuit board 21 and the charging coil 22.

[0083] The material of the shielding cover 23 can be metal, magnetic material or conductive silicone, etc., and this application does not limit it.

[0084] Thus, the shield 23 can separate the coil and the circuit board 21. The shield can reduce the outward magnetic lines of force generated by the charging coil 22 during the charging process, thereby reducing the influence of the charging coil 22 on the circuit board 21 and preventing the generation of eddy currents and signal interference.

[0085] A vehicle is provided, including the aforementioned charging device 100.

[0086] Since the vehicle provided in this application embodiment includes the charging device 100 as described above, both can solve the same problem and achieve the same effect, and will not be described in detail here.

[0087] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
