[0022] The embodiments of this utility model 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 intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0023] To better understand the above technical solutions, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present invention and to fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art.

[0024] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0025] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides a wireless charging device for an educational robot, which includes a base 100 and a wireless charging module 200.

[0026] Specifically, the base 100 can be of any shape, such as a cylinder or a square column. The base 100 can be made of high-strength, lightweight materials, such as aluminum alloy or carbon fiber composite materials, to ensure that the base 100 has sufficient load-bearing capacity and good heat dissipation performance.

[0027] The base 100 has a receiving slot 110 with an opening on one side. The shape of the receiving slot 110 is adapted to the bottom contour of the educational robot, thereby stably placing the educational robot and guiding it to align with the wireless charging module 200. In one example, the opening of the receiving slot 110 may be provided with a resilient clamping structure to clamp the educational robot when it is placed on the base 100, preventing it from shifting or slipping during charging. In one example, the base 100 may be provided with a plug to form an electrical connection with an external power source.

[0028] Guide grooves 120 are provided on the inner sidewalls on both sides of the opening of the receiving groove 110. The guide grooves 120 extend horizontally inward from the opening. The cross-sectional shape of the guide grooves 120 can be any shape, such as semi-circular, square or trapezoidal, etc.

[0029] The wireless charging module 200 includes a mounting base 210 and a wireless charging component 220. The mounting base 210 can be made of a high-temperature resistant and electromagnetic interference-resistant material to protect its internal circuitry and reduce energy loss. The upper surface of the mounting base 210 is recessed to form a charging slot 211. The wireless charging component 220 is disposed at the bottom of the charging slot 211. The wireless charging component 220 is used to convert wired power into wireless power to wirelessly charge the educational robot. In one example, a power interface (e.g., power contacts) can be provided on the outside of the mounting base 210. The wireless charging component 220 can form a current path with the base 100 through the power interface to receive wired power transmitted from an external power source through the base 100.

[0030] It should be noted that the wireless charging component 220 can be an existing one, which may include a wireless charging transmitter, power management circuit and safety protection circuit, etc., which will not be described in detail here.

[0031] Additionally, sliders 212 are provided on both sides of the mounting slot. During assembly, the wireless charging module 200 can slide into the receiving slot 110 from the opening. The guide slot 120 and the sliders 212 cooperate to guide and limit the wireless charging module 200, thus enabling a detachable connection between the wireless charging module 200 and the base 100. When it is necessary to repair or upgrade the wireless charging module 200, the user can detach the wireless charging module 200 from the base 100 without replacing the entire wireless charging device, reducing equipment costs. In one example, a grip can be provided on the outer wall of the mounting base 210 away from the receiving slot 110 to facilitate the user pulling the mounting base 210.

[0032] In one embodiment, to ensure the stability of the wireless charging module 200 placed in the receiving groove 110, the slider 212 can be strip-shaped and its length extends from one end of the mounting base 210 to the other end. In this way, the contact area between the slider 212 and the guide groove 120 can be increased, so that the wireless charging module 200 can be placed stably in the receiving groove 110.

[0033] In one embodiment, the wireless charging device further includes a magnetic attraction assembly comprising two magnetic elements 310. One magnetic element 310 is disposed on the inner wall of the receiving groove 110. In one example, this magnetic element 310 may be disposed on the inner wall of the receiving groove 110 opposite to the opening. The other magnetic element 310 is disposed on the outer wall of the mounting groove, corresponding to the first magnetic element 310. Thus, when the mounting base 210 slides into the receiving groove 110 along the guide groove 120, the two magnetic elements 310 can attract each other, allowing the mounting base 210 to quickly reach the designated position. Furthermore, the attraction between the two magnetic elements 310 can, to a certain extent, prevent the mounting base 210 from detaching from the receiving groove 110, ensuring the stability of the connection between the wireless charging module 200 and the base 100.

[0034] Furthermore, one magnetic component 310 may be provided with a positioning groove, and another magnetic component 310 may be provided with a positioning post that matches the positioning groove. In this way, by cooperating with the positioning groove and the positioning post, while ensuring the stability between the wireless charging module 200 and the base 100, it can also play a guiding role. That is, under the action of magnetic force, the relative position between the wireless charging module 200 and the base 100 can be automatically adjusted to ensure the charging effect.

[0035] In one embodiment, the wireless charging assembly 220 further includes a snap-fit ​​structure (not shown) for maintaining the relative fixation between the mounting base 210 and the base 100. In one example, the snap-fit ​​structure may include a matching slot and a snap fastener. The slot may be disposed on the base 100, and the snap fastener may be disposed on the mounting base 210. When the wireless charging module 200 is assembled, the snap fastener can engage with the slot to prevent the wireless charging module 200 from detaching from the receiving slot 110. When disassembly is required, the snap fastener is first released from the slot, and then the wireless charging module 200 is pulled out from the receiving slot 110. It should be noted that the snap-fit ​​interface may also adopt an existing structure, and this application does not impose any special limitations on it.

[0036] In one embodiment, the wireless charging device further includes a heat dissipation component for dissipating heat generated during charging of the educational robot. This heat dissipation component is disposed on the base 100. It should be noted that the heat dissipation component may include one or more of a heat sink, a cooling fan, or a heat pipe. Figure 1 As shown, the heat dissipation assembly may include a cooling fan, which is mounted on the base 100 and faces the receiving groove 110. Thus, when the educational robot is charging, the cooling fan can blow air onto the bottom of the robot to dissipate heat and prevent localized overheating.

[0037] In one embodiment, the base 100 is also provided with an indicator light or display device, which can be electrically connected to a microcontroller (such as a single-chip microcomputer) provided on the base 100, so as to display the charging status of the educational robot, such as whether charging is started, the battery percentage, or fault warning information.

[0038] In one embodiment, the base 100 is also provided with a wireless communication module (such as a Wi-Fi module or a Bluetooth module). The wireless communication module can be electrically connected to the microcontroller on the base 100. In this way, the user can use a mobile terminal to communicate with the microcontroller through the wireless communication module to remotely monitor the charging status of the educational robot, adjust the charging parameters, or preset the charging plan, thereby improving the user experience.
