[0002] To meet passengers' needs for mobile phone use, vehicles are usually equipped with mobile phone charging ports. With the maturity of wireless charging technology, mobile phone charging ports in vehicles have gradually been upgraded to wireless charging boxes. Wireless charging boxes are equipped with wireless charging modules. By placing the mobile phone in the charging box, the mobile phone can be charged, which can effectively solve the problem of passengers forgetting to bring their mobile phone charging cables.

[0003] Traditional wireless charging boxes cannot indicate the charging status of mobile phones, and passengers need to wake up the phone screen to know the charging status. However, with the continuous improvement of in-vehicle configuration, some existing wireless charging boxes have started to be equipped with signal indicator lights, which can indicate the charging status of mobile phones, effectively freeing up passengers' hands.

[0004] However, the addition of signal indicator lights increases the number of components and size of the wireless charging box, taking up more installation space in the vehicle. This makes it more difficult to install and deploy the wireless charging box in the vehicle and is also detrimental to the aesthetic design of the vehicle interior. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0032] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and not to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such use of data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of this application can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first," "second," etc., are generally of the same class and the number of objects is not limited; for example, a first object can be one or more. Furthermore, in the specification and claims, "and / or" indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0033] It should be understood that the phrase "some embodiments" throughout the specification means that a specific feature, structure, or characteristic related to an embodiment is included in at least one embodiment of this application. Therefore, "some embodiments" appearing throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. Furthermore, these specific features, structures, or characteristics can be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments.

[0034] The following detailed description of a wireless charging box, seat assembly, and vehicle provided in this application is illustrated with specific embodiments.

[0035] This application provides a wireless charging case 100. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a wireless charging box 100 according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 This is a side sectional view of a wireless charging box 100 according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 yes Figure 2 A partially enlarged schematic diagram, see reference. Figures 1 to 3 The wireless charging box 100 includes a box body 1, a wireless charging module 2, and a light-emitting element 23; the box body 1 has an accommodating cavity 10; the wireless charging module 2 is connected to the box body 1, and the wireless charging module 2 includes a circuit board 22, with the light-emitting element 23 connected to the circuit board 22.

[0036] In this embodiment, the housing 1 has a receiving cavity 10, which is used to hold a mobile phone. Of course, in addition to a mobile phone, other electronic devices that need to be charged, such as electronic watches and earphones, can also be placed in the receiving cavity 10. (Refer to...) Figure 1As shown, the box 1 has a vertically placed structure. Compared with some horizontally arranged charging modules in the prior art, the vertical placement of the box 1 helps to save space and is more conducive to the aesthetic design of the vehicle interior. In addition, when the occupants do not need to charge the device, various personal items such as car keys, rings, and perfumes can be placed inside the box 1. Thus, the wireless charging box 100 can not only have a charging function but also a storage function, improving the utilization rate of in-vehicle components.

[0037] The wireless charging module 2 is connected to the housing 1. The wireless charging module 2 can be disposed within the receiving cavity 10 of the housing 1 and connected to the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 10, or it can be disposed outside the receiving cavity 10 of the housing 1 and connected to the outer wall of the housing 1. The connection between the wireless charging module 2 and the housing 1 can be achieved through assembly connection, adhesive connection, or limiting snap-fit, etc., and this embodiment does not impose any restrictions on this method.

[0038] The wireless charging module 2 includes a printed circuit board (PCB) 22, on which a light-emitting element 23 is connected. In practical applications, the light-emitting element 23 is typically a light-emitting diode (LED). LEDs have a fast response speed, can be turned on and off in a short time, and have low power consumption and a long lifespan, which helps control the overall cost of the wireless charging box 100. The PCB 22 usually has a circuit for detecting charging status information, which can detect whether the device to be charged is connected, whether charging is proceeding normally, whether the device is fully charged, and whether there is a fault in the charging circuit. It should be noted that, in addition to the PCB 22, the wireless charging module 2 usually also includes a microcontroller. The detected charging status information is converted into corresponding electrical signals and transmitted to the microcontroller for signal processing. The microcontroller can control the light-emitting element 23 to turn on or off, change its color, or blink frequency based on the processed signal.

[0039] For example, taking a mobile phone as the device to be charged, the light indication information of the light-emitting element 23 can be set as follows: when the light-emitting element 23 is off, it indicates that the wireless charging module 2 is not charging; when the light-emitting element 23 is on, it indicates that the wireless charging module 2 is charging normally. The brightness of the light-emitting element 23 can be set to about 60 cd / ㎡ (candela / square meter) to provide more suitable visual comfort and facilitate energy consumption control; when the light-emitting element 23 is flashing, it indicates that the wireless charging module 2 is in an abnormal charging state. The wireless charging module 2 can be controlled by pulse width modulation (PWM), and the flashing frequency can be controlled between 1Hz and 2Hz, which can effectively attract the attention of passengers without causing glare, and at the same time, the requirements for the circuit on the circuit board 22 are relatively low.

[0040] Furthermore, the illumination state of the light-emitting element 23 may include: when the light-emitting element 23 is lit up with a red light, it indicates that the wireless charging module 2 is in a normal charging state; when the light-emitting element 23 is lit up with a green light, it indicates that the wireless charging module 2 has fully charged the mobile phone, and the wireless charging module 2 has disconnected the charging circuit for the mobile phone, or has reduced the current for the charging circuit for the mobile phone.

[0041] Therefore, the wireless charging box 100 of this application embodiment integrates the light-emitting element 23 into the wireless charging module 2, realizing the integration of the charging function and the indication function of the wireless charging module 2. Moreover, the light-emitting element 23 reuses the circuit board 22 of the wireless charging module 2, reducing the number of components configured in the wireless charging box 100. Under the dual effects of integrated design and reduced quantity, the volume of the wireless charging box 100 is effectively reduced, thereby helping to reduce the installation space occupied by the wireless charging box 100 in the vehicle, reducing the difficulty of installing and deploying the wireless charging box 100 in the vehicle, and at the same time, it is conducive to improving the aesthetic design of the vehicle interior.

[0042] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some optional embodiments of this application, the wireless charging module 2 further includes a housing, which is connected to the box 1; a circuit board 22 is disposed inside the housing and connected to the housing; a light outlet 210 is provided on the side of the housing near the cavity opening of the accommodating cavity 10, and the light emitted by the light-emitting element 23 is emitted from the light outlet 210.

[0043] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 2 As shown, the circuit board 22 is arranged inside the housing along the height direction of the housing 1, as shown in the figure. Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown in the Z direction, in some embodiments, the housing is provided with protrusions, slots, or other snap-fit ​​structures to snap and fix the circuit board 22 into the housing. In other embodiments, the circuit board 22 is provided with connection holes, and the corresponding position of the housing is also provided with connection holes, so that the circuit board 22 is fixed into the housing by means of riveting or fasteners such as screws and bolts.

[0044] A light-emitting port 210 is provided on the side of the housing near the cavity 10. The light-emitting port 210 can be a through hole opened on the housing. The through hole can be a large through hole or composed of multiple small through holes. The light emitted by the light-emitting element 23 can finally be emitted through the light-emitting port 210. The light-emitting port 210 can also be a region with high light transmittance on the housing. For example, the housing in this region can be made of materials such as glass, polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polystyrene (PS), and polycarbonate (PC), with a light transmittance of up to 85% or more, which has a good light transmission effect, thus ensuring that the light emitted by the light-emitting element 23 can be emitted smoothly from this region.

[0045] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some optional embodiments of this application, the wireless charging box 100 further includes an optical lens 24; the optical lens 24 has a reflective surface 241, which is disposed facing the light-emitting element 23. The light emitted by the light-emitting element 23 is reflected by the reflective surface 241 and then emitted from the light outlet 210. Specifically, the reflective surface 241 has a reflective function, that is, when the light emitted by the light-emitting element 23 shines on the reflective surface 241, according to the law of reflection of light, the light will be reflected out at an angle symmetrical to the incident light, thereby changing the propagation direction of the light. In this embodiment, the light emitted by the light-emitting element 23 is reflected by the reflective surface 241 and then emitted from the light outlet 210. The emitted light can be observed by the passenger, and the passenger can judge the charging status of the mobile phone by judging the state of the light (such as color, brightness, etc.), thereby enabling the wireless charging module 2 to realize the function of indicating the charging status of the mobile phone.

[0046] Reference Figure 3As shown, in some optional embodiments of this application, the circuit board 22 is arranged along the height direction (Z direction) of the housing 1, and the angle between the reflective surface 241 and the circuit board 22 is 30° to 60°. For example, the angle between the reflective surface 241 and the circuit board 22 can be 40°, 45°, 50°, 50°, etc. Within the above angle range, it can be ensured that the light emitted by the light-emitting element 23 can be smoothly emitted from the light outlet 210 after being reflected by the reflective surface 241. It can be understood that, according to the law of reflection of light, the angle between the incident ray (the ray emitted by the light-emitting element 23 and illuminating the reflective surface) and the reflective surface 241 is the same as the angle between the reflected ray (the ray emitted by the reflective surface 241 and illuminating the light outlet 210) and the reflective surface 241. If the angle between the reflective surface 241 and the circuit board 22 is 45°, then the angle formed between the incident ray and the emitted ray is approximately 90°.

[0047] Reference Figure 3 As shown, in some optional embodiments of this application, the optical lens 24 also has a focusing surface 242, which is located on the side close to the light-emitting element 23. The light emitted by the light-emitting element 23 passes through the focusing surface 242 and then illuminates the reflective surface 241. Since the light emitted by the light-emitting element 23 is usually a scattering type of light, the light will scatter in all directions during propagation, which can easily lead to uneven light distribution, resulting in different light intensities and brightness in different areas. This will affect the light reflection effect of the reflective surface 241, resulting in weaker light emitted from the light outlet 210, which is not conducive to the occupants quickly and accurately judging the charging status based on the light.

[0048] Based on this, the optical lens 24 of this embodiment has a focusing surface 242. The focusing surface 242 can be made of a diffuse reflective material, such as barium sulfate or magnesium oxide. When scattered light shines on the surface of the diffuse reflective material, it will undergo multiple reflections and scatterings within the material, and finally be uniformly emitted from all directions of the focusing surface 242, making the light more uniform and straight to a certain extent. The focusing surface 242 can also be formed using microstructured optical elements, such as Fresnel lenses or microlens arrays. Microstructured optical elements can refract and converge light, redirecting and reorganizing the scattered light, causing it to propagate in a specific direction, thereby converting the scattered light into relatively straight light. Under the action of the focusing surface 242, the scattered light emitted by the light-emitting element 23 can be converted into relatively straight and uniform light that shines on the reflective surface 241, improving the effect of the incident light, thereby improving the effect of the emitted light, improving the uniformity and intensity of the light emitted from the light outlet 210, providing the occupants with a clear and bright indication effect, making it easy for the occupants to quickly and accurately judge the charging status based on the light.

[0049] Reference Figure 3As shown, in some optional embodiments of this application, the circuit board 22 is provided with a connecting portion 221 on the side near the light outlet 210. The optical lens 24 is detachably connected to the connecting portion 221, and the connecting portion 221 is located on the side of the light-emitting element 23 opposite to the light outlet 210. Specifically, in some embodiments, the connecting portion 221 can be a connecting hole, and a portion of the optical lens 24 passes through the connecting hole to achieve a detachable connection between the optical lens 24 and the circuit board 22. In other embodiments, the connecting portion 221 is a groove, and the end of the optical lens 24 is provided with a protrusion adapted to the groove. The protrusion is embedded in the groove to achieve a detachable connection between the optical lens 24 and the circuit board 22. Thus, this embodiment achieves a detachable connection between the optical lens 24 and the circuit board 22 through the connecting portion 221, which helps to improve the installation stability of the optical lens 24 in the housing, avoids the optical lens 24 from shaking or shifting when the wireless charging box 100 is subjected to vibration, impact, etc., and thus helps to ensure the integrity of the optical path structure and ensure good light output effect.

[0050] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some optional embodiments of this application, the housing includes an upper shell 211 and a lower shell 212, with the circuit board 22 disposed inside the lower shell 212. The upper shell 211 and the lower shell 212 are detachably connected. The lower shell 212 has heat dissipation fins 25 on the side facing away from the upper shell 211. The heat dissipation fins 25 increase the heat dissipation area, thereby quickly dissipating the heat generated by the wireless charging module 2 during operation to the surrounding environment. This helps maintain a stable operating temperature for the wireless charging module 2 and prevents performance degradation and shortened lifespan due to overheating.

[0051] Reference Figure 2 As shown, the lower shell 212 has a recessed cavity, and the circuit board 22 is disposed within the recessed cavity of the lower shell 212. The ends of the upper shell 211 and the lower shell 212 are provided with connecting holes for fasteners such as rivets and screws to pass through. Figure 2 (Only one connection hole is shown in the image), through which the upper shell 211 and the lower shell 212 can be detachably connected. This design facilitates the disassembly and separation of the upper shell 211 and the lower shell 212 for inspection and maintenance in case of malfunction of the circuit board 22, light-emitting element 23, or optical lens 24 inside the shell.

[0052] Reference Figure 3 As shown, in some optional embodiments of this application, the upper shell 211 is provided with a first extension 213 on the side near the opening of the accommodating cavity 10, and the lower shell 212 is provided with a second extension 214 on the side near the opening of the accommodating cavity 10; the first extension 213 and the second extension 214 both extend along the height direction (Z direction) of the box body 1, and a light emission channel is formed between the first extension 213 and the second extension 214, and a light emission port 210 is formed at the end of the light emission channel.

[0053] In this embodiment, both the first extension 213 and the second extension 214 extend along the height direction of the housing 1, thereby forming a light-emitting channel that extends along the height direction of the housing 1. The end of the light-emitting channel forms a light-emitting port 210. That is, the light emitted by the light-emitting element 23 is reflected by the reflective surface 241 and then shines from the light-emitting channel to the light-emitting port 210, and subsequently exits from the light-emitting port 210. The light-emitting channel can constrain and converge the light, causing the light to exit along the height direction of the housing 1 to the light-emitting port 210, further improving the scattering of the light and helping to enhance the focusing of the light emitted from the light-emitting port 210, thereby providing the occupants with a clear and bright indication effect.

[0054] Reference Figure 3 As shown, in some optional embodiments of this application, a portion of the optical lens 24 is sandwiched within the light emission channel. Specifically, a portion of the optical lens 24 is disposed along the height direction of the housing 1, a portion is disposed along a direction inclined to the circuit board 22, and a portion is disposed along a direction nearly perpendicular to the circuit board 22. The portion disposed along the height direction of the housing 1 is sandwiched within the light emission channel to further improve the installation stability of the optical lens 24 within the housing.

[0055] In some embodiments, the portion arranged along the height direction of the housing 1 does not completely occupy the entire light emission channel; that is, part of the light emission channel is an optical lens 24, and the other part is a hollow channel. In other embodiments, the portion arranged along the height direction of the housing 1 completely occupies the entire light emission channel; that is, the entire light emission channel is an optical lens 24. Since light can be transmitted inside the optical lens 24, both of the above embodiments can ensure that light can smoothly illuminate the light outlet 210. In addition, the portion arranged along the direction inclined to the circuit board 22 forms a reflective surface 241, and the portion arranged in a direction nearly perpendicular to the circuit board 22 is detachably connected to the connecting portion 221 on the circuit board 22.

[0056] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some optional embodiments of this application, the wireless charging module 2 is disposed outside the housing 1, and the housing is connected to the outer wall of the housing 1. The outer wall refers to the surface of the housing 1 located outside the accommodating cavity 10. The connection between the wireless charging module 2 and the outer wall of the housing 1 means that the wireless charging module 2 is located outside the accommodating cavity 10. With this arrangement, the wireless charging module 2 does not occupy space within the accommodating cavity 10, providing a more spacious placement space for the device to be charged. This allows for the placement of larger devices within the accommodating cavity 10, thereby expanding the applicability of the wireless charging box 100.

[0057] Reference Figure 3As shown, in some optional embodiments of this application, a flange 11 is provided on the side of the housing 1 near the cavity opening of the accommodating cavity 10. The flange 11 extends in a direction away from the accommodating cavity 10 and covers at least part of the housing. A light-transmitting part 110 is provided on the flange 11. Along the height direction (Z direction) of the housing 1, the projection of the light-transmitting part 110 at least partially overlaps with the projection of the light outlet 210.

[0058] In this embodiment, after the wireless charging box 100 is installed in the vehicle, the flange 11 can cooperate with the interior components, covering at least part of the shell, thereby completely or partially hiding the wireless charging module 2 inside the vehicle. For example, if the wireless charging box 100 is installed on the armrest of a seat in the vehicle, the flange 11 can abut against the side trim panel of the seat armrest, thus completely hiding the wireless charging module 2 on the side of the side trim panel, which helps to save space occupied by the wireless charging box 100 and enhances the aesthetics of the vehicle interior design.

[0059] When the wireless charging module 2 is hidden inside the vehicle, a light-transmitting part 110 needs to be provided on the flange 11. Along the height direction (Z direction) of the box body 1, the projection of the light-transmitting part 110 and the projection of the light outlet 210 should at least partially overlap. In this way, it can be ensured that the light emitted from the light outlet 210 can be smoothly emitted from the light-transmitting part 110 and thus be observed by the occupants.

[0060] In some embodiments, the light-transmitting part 110 can be made of a material with good light transmittance, such as glass, polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polystyrene (PS), or polycarbonate (PC), with a light transmittance of over 85%, providing excellent light transmission and ensuring that the light emitted from the light outlet 210 can be smoothly emitted from the light-transmitting part 110. In other embodiments, the light-transmitting part 110 can be a small hole opened on the flange 11, which can be any structure such as circular, elliptical, rectangular, or polygonal, as long as light can be smoothly emitted from the light-transmitting part 110. This embodiment does not impose any limitations on this. In addition, the number of small holes can be one, two, or more. In some embodiments, multiple small holes can be evenly distributed on the flange 11, or arranged in a decorative pattern. This allows the light emitted from the light-transmitting part 110 to further serve a decorative purpose, enhancing the aesthetics of the vehicle interior.

[0061] This application also provides a seat assembly. Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of a seat assembly according to an embodiment of this application, with reference to... Figure 4The seat assembly includes a seat 200 and a wireless charging box 100 as described in any of the preceding embodiments. The seat 200 includes an armrest 201, and the wireless charging box 100 is disposed on the armrest 201. In this embodiment, the seat 200 can be a front seat or a rear seat. Of course, in some large vehicles, the seat 200 can also be a middle seat. The seat 200 includes a main body and armrests 201 disposed on one or both sides of the main body. The wireless charging box 100 is integrated into the armrest 201 for convenient and flexible use by the occupant.

The vehicle in this embodiment includes, but is not limited to, pure electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles, range-extended vehicles, and fuel vehicles. The wireless charging box 100 can be located in the seat armrest inside the vehicle, or in the armrest box, center console, or under the window glass, etc., and can be flexibly set according to actual needs.
