[0002] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 2025206669925, entitled "A Charging Device," filed on April 9, 2025, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field
[0003] This application relates to the field of vehicle-mounted equipment technology, and more specifically, to a charging device. Background Technology
[0004] Currently, wireless charging pads used in cars can typically hold two or more smartphones. The pads have raised dividers in the middle to separate adjacent smartphones and prevent them from interfering with each other. However, due to the dividers, tablets or unfolded foldable phones cannot be placed flat on the charging pads, which limits the charging speed of tablets or unfolded foldable phones. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this application includes, for example, providing a charging device that improves compatibility, thereby ensuring charging speed for tablets or foldable phones.
[0006] The embodiments of this utility model can be implemented as follows:
[0007] In a first aspect, this utility model provides a charging device, comprising:
[0008] A charging panel with a charging area;
[0009] A blocking element is movably disposed on the charging panel to fully expose the charging area or to divide the charging area into at least two charging sub-areas.
[0010] The blocking member has a first position state. When the blocking member is in the first position state, the charging panel fully exposes the charging area.
[0011] The blocking member has a second position state, and when the blocking member is in the second position state, the charging area is divided into at least two charging sub-areas.
[0012] When the blocking member is in the first position, it tends to maintain the first position.
[0013] The blocking element is movably disposed on the charging panel in a direction parallel to the front or back of the charging panel.
[0014] In an alternative implementation, the blocking member is located at the edge of the charging area when the charging area is fully exposed, or at least a portion of the blocking member extends beyond the charging area.
[0015] In an optional embodiment, the charging device further includes a locking member, which locks the blocking member in the first position when the blocking member is in the first position state.
[0016] In an optional embodiment, the locking element includes a lock body and a lock seat that can be locked together, one of which is disposed on the charging panel and the other is connected to the blocking element; the charging area is fully exposed when the lock body and the lock seat are locked together.
[0017] In an optional embodiment, the locking element includes a snap-fit structure, and the blocking element and the charging panel are fixedly connected by the snap-fit structure.
[0018] In an optional embodiment, a slide rail is provided on the front of the charging panel, and the extension direction of the blocking member is perpendicular to the length direction of the slide rail. The blocking member slides in conjunction with the slide rail so that the blocking member can slide along the length direction of the slide rail.
[0019] Alternatively, a slide rail can be provided on the back of the charging panel, and a clearance groove can be provided on the charging panel to slide with the blocking member. The extension direction of the blocking member is parallel to the length direction of the slide rail. The blocking member passes through the clearance groove and slides with the slide rail so that the blocking member can slide along the length direction of the slide rail.
[0020] In an optional embodiment, the charging device further includes a damping component disposed between the charging panel and the blocking member, or between the slide rail and the blocking member; the damping component is used to provide damping force when the blocking member slides relative to the slide rail, so as to make the blocking member slide stably.
[0021] In an optional embodiment, the damping assembly includes a gear damper and a rack that can mesh with each other; wherein the gear damper is rotatably mounted on a slide rail or charging panel, and the rack is connected to a blocking element.
[0022] As the blocking component slides along the slide rail, the rack moves with the blocking component and meshes with the gear damping, thereby providing stable sliding resistance and enabling the blocking component to slide stably.
[0023] In an optional embodiment, a portion of the slide rail extends beyond the charging panel along its length to form a storage portion for accommodating the blocking member; the charging area is fully exposed when the blocking member is located in the storage portion.
[0024] In an optional embodiment, the charging device further includes a limiting structure connected to a slide rail for limiting the blocking member in a direction parallel to the front or back of the charging panel.
[0025] In an optional embodiment, a resilient reset member is provided between the charging panel and the blocking member, the resilient reset member having a tendency to move the blocking member to separate the charging area.
[0026] The beneficial effects of the charging device provided in this embodiment of the present invention include:
[0027] The beneficial effects of the charging device provided in this application include, for example, that this application provides a highly adaptable charging device, which includes a charging panel and a blocking member. The charging panel has a charging area; the blocking member is slidably disposed on the charging panel to fully expose the charging area or to divide the charging area into at least two charging sub-areas. When using this charging device, if a tablet or an unfolded folding phone needs to be placed on the charging panel, the blocking member is moved to fully expose the charging area, at which point the tablet or unfolded folding phone can be placed flat in the charging area; if two or more candybar phones need to be placed on the charging panel simultaneously without interfering with each other, the blocking member is moved to divide the charging area into at least two charging sub-areas, at which point the candybar phone can be placed in the corresponding charging sub-area. This charging device has high adaptability, and since the tablet or unfolded folding phone can be placed flat in the charging area, the charging speed of the tablet or unfolded folding phone is also well guaranteed.

Detailed Implementation
[0048] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.
[0049] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0050] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.
[0051] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that if terms such as "upper," "lower," "inner," or "outer" are used to indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship in which the utility model product is usually placed during use, they are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
[0052] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be interpreted as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0053] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the features in the embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other.
[0054] As disclosed in the background section, current automotive wireless charging pads typically accommodate two or more smartphones, and a raised partition structure in the middle separates adjacent smartphones to prevent interference. However, due to this partition structure, tablets or unfolded foldable phones cannot be placed flat on the wireless charging pad, thus limiting their charging speed. Embodiments of this application provide a charging device that at least addresses the aforementioned technical problems.
[0055] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4The charging device 10 provided in the embodiments of this application includes a charging panel 100 and a blocking member 200. The charging panel 100 has a charging area 110. The blocking member 200 is movably disposed on the charging panel 100 to fully expose the charging area 110 or to divide the charging area 110 into at least two charging sub-areas 120.
[0056] It should be noted that the charging panel 100 has a front and a back, and the charging area 110 is located on the front of the charging panel 100; the blocking member 200 is movable relative to the charging panel 100, and during the movement of the blocking member 200 relative to the charging panel 100, the charging area 110 can be fully exposed, or the charging area 110 is divided into at least two charging sub-areas 120 by the blocking member 200.
[0057] In some embodiments, the blocking member 200 is movably disposed on the charging panel 100 in a direction parallel to the front or back surface of the charging panel 100. That is, the blocking member 200 can move relative to the charging panel 100 in a movable manner on a plane parallel to the front or back surface of the charging panel 100. Specifically, the blocking member 200 can slide relative to the charging panel 100 on a plane substantially parallel to the front or back surface of the charging panel 100, and the position state is switched by sliding in this direction.
[0058] When using the charging device 10, if a tablet or unfolded foldable phone needs to be placed on the charging panel 100, the blocking member 200 is moved to fully expose the charging area 110. At this time, the tablet or unfolded foldable phone can be placed flat in the charging area 110. If two or more candybar phones need to be placed on the charging panel 100 at the same time without interfering with each other, or if a candybar phone needs to be placed and its position on the charging panel 100 is roughly defined, the blocking member 200 is moved to divide the charging area 110 into at least two charging sub-areas 120. At this time, each candybar phone can be placed in the corresponding charging sub-area 120. The charging device 10 can be adapted to candybar phones, foldable phones and tablets, etc., and has high compatibility. Since the tablet or unfolded foldable phone can be placed flat in the charging area 110, the charging speed of the tablet or unfolded foldable phone is also well guaranteed.
[0059] In some embodiments, the blocking member 200 has a first position state, in which the charging panel 100 fully exposes the charging area 110 when the blocking member 200 is in the first position state; the blocking member 200 has a second position state, in which the charging area 110 is divided into at least two charging sub-areas 120 when the blocking member 200 is in the second position state; and the blocking member 200 has a tendency to maintain the first position state when it is in the first position state.
[0060] It should be noted that the blocking member 200 has a first position state and a second position state during its movement relative to the charging panel 100. When the blocking member 200 is in the first position state, the blocking member 200 slides out from the charging area 110, making the charging area 110 fully exposed. At this time, the blocking member 200 can maintain the first position state. When the blocking member 200 is in the second position state, the blocking member 200 slides into the charging area 110, and at least a part of it spans across the charging area 110, thereby dividing the charging area 110 into at least two charging sub-areas 120.
[0061] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, to facilitate the placement of large electronic devices such as tablets or foldable phones in their unfolded state, the blocking member 200 is located at the edge of the charging area 110 when the charging area 110 is fully exposed, or at least a portion of the blocking member 200 extends beyond the charging area 110.
[0062] Specifically, when the blocking member 200 moves to the edge of the charging panel 100 or completely beyond the charging area 110, the charging area 110 is fully exposed, and the blocking member 200 is in a first position state; when the blocking member 200 moves into the charging area 110 of the charging panel 100, the blocking member 200 divides the charging area 110 into two charging sub-areas 120, and is in a second position state.
[0063] Please see Figures 5 to 9 In an optional embodiment, a slide rail 160 is provided on the front side of the charging panel 100, and the extending direction of the blocking member 200 is perpendicular to the length direction of the slide rail 160. The blocking member 200 slides in cooperation with the slide rail 160 so that the blocking member 200 can slide along the length direction of the slide rail 160.
[0064] When using the charging device 10, such as Figure 6 As shown, if a tablet or unfolded foldable phone needs to be placed on the charging panel 100, the blocking member 200 is slid to one side of the charging panel 100, at which point the charging area 110 is fully exposed, and the tablet or unfolded foldable phone can be placed flat in the charging area 110. If two candybar phones need to be placed on the charging panel 100 at the same time and the candybar phones do not interfere with each other, the blocking member 200 is slid toward the center of the charging panel 100. When the blocking member 200 is located in the center of the charging panel 100, the blocking member 200 divides the charging area 110 into two symmetrical charging sub-areas 120. When the blocking member 200 is not located in the center of the charging panel 100, the blocking member 200 divides the charging area 110 into two charging sub-areas 120 with different areas.
[0065] Optionally, such as Figures 7 to 9As shown, at least one end of the blocking member 200 in the extending direction is connected to a sliding member 210. The sliding member 210 is slidably engaged with the slide rail 160 so that the blocking member 200 can slide along the length direction of the slide rail 160, thereby switching back and forth between the edge of the charging region 110 and the interior of the charging region 110.
[0066] It should be noted that the slider 210 can be a slider, roller, guide post, or other structure capable of sliding and guiding, and this embodiment does not specifically limit it. Furthermore, the connection method between the blocking member 200 and the slider 210 includes, but is not limited to, snap-fit, adhesive, or screw connection; in other optional embodiments, the blocking member 200 and the slider 210 can also be an integrally formed structure.
[0067] Please see Figures 10 to 16 In another optional embodiment, a slide rail 160 is provided on the back of the charging panel 100, and the charging panel 100 has a relief groove 130 that slides with the blocking member 200. The extension direction of the blocking member 200 is parallel to the length direction of the slide rail 160. The blocking member 200 passes through the relief groove 130 and slides with the slide rail 160 so that the blocking member 200 can slide along the length direction of the slide rail 160.
[0068] When using the charging device 10, such as Figure 12 As shown, if a tablet or unfolded foldable phone needs to be placed on the charging panel 100, the blocking member 200 is slid out of the charging area 110, at which point the charging area 110 is fully exposed, and the tablet or unfolded foldable phone can be placed flat in the charging area 110. If two candybar phones need to be placed on the charging panel 100 at the same time and the candybar phones do not interfere with each other, the blocking member 200 is slid into the charging area 110 of the charging panel 100. When the clearance groove 130 is opened in the middle of the baffle 170, the blocking member 200 can divide the charging area 110 into two symmetrical charging sub-areas 120. When the clearance groove 130 is not opened in the middle of the baffle 170, the blocking member 200 can divide the charging area 110 into two charging sub-areas 120 with different areas.
[0069] It should be noted that the clearance groove 130 is opened on the front of the charging panel 100, and its opening direction is consistent with the thickness direction of the charging panel 100, so that the blocking member 200 can pass through the clearance groove 130 and achieve sliding engagement with the slide rail 160 provided on the back of the charging panel 100.
[0070] At the same time, such as Figure 11As shown, the clearance groove 130 extends along the length of the slide rail 160 to the edge of the charging panel 100, so that the blocking member 200 can smoothly slide out of the charging area 110 along the slide rail 160 and be stored outside the charging panel 100, thereby fully exposing the charging area 110 and making it convenient for users to place large electronic devices.
[0071] To ensure that the blocking member 200 maintains good structural stability when it slides out of the charging panel 100, accordingly, such as Figure 10 As shown, a portion of the slide rail 160 extends beyond the charging panel 100 along its length, forming a storage portion 163 for accommodating the blocking member 200, thereby providing good support and positioning for the blocking member 200. It can be understood that the charging area 110 is fully exposed when the blocking member 200 is located in the storage portion 163.
[0072] In some embodiments, such as Figure 13 and Figure 16 As shown, the charging device 10 also includes a limiting structure 600, which is connected to the slide rail 160 and is used to limit the blocking member 200 in a direction parallel to the front or back of the charging panel 100. By setting the limiting structure 600, the blocking member 200 can be effectively prevented from shifting laterally or tilting during sliding, so that the blocking member 200 can move more stably along the extension direction of the clearance groove 130, thereby improving the guiding stability and motion accuracy of the blocking member 200 during movement.
[0073] It should be noted that the connection between the limiting structure 600 and the slide rail 160 can employ various feasible technical means, including but not limited to snap-fit, adhesive, and screw-fit. In other embodiments, the limiting structure 600 can also be integrally formed with the slide rail 160.
[0074] Specifically, the limiting structure 600 has a through hole 610 for the blocking member 200 to pass through, and the extending direction of the through hole 610 is consistent with the sliding direction of the blocking member 200. The blocking member 200 is provided with a limiting part that mates with the inner wall of the through hole 610. The limiting part can be a flange, an annular groove, or other adaptable structure provided on the outer periphery of the blocking member 200, which forms a sliding fit with the inner wall of the through hole 610. When the blocking member 200 is installed into the through hole 610, the limiting part fits tightly against the inner wall of the through hole 610, thereby limiting the blocking member 200 in a direction parallel to the front or back of the charging panel 100, effectively restricting the degree of freedom of the blocking member 200 and preventing it from shifting laterally during sliding.
[0075] Furthermore, in the embodiments provided by this utility model, the outer wall of the limiting structure 600 and the groove wall of the clearance groove 130 form a tight fit, allowing the limiting structure 600 to be embedded in the clearance groove 130, achieving a smooth and seamless appearance, thereby improving the overall aesthetics and assembly precision of the entire charging device 10. It is understood that the above structural design also reduces the possibility of external dust entering the device, extending the product's service life.
[0076] In addition, similar to the above, such as Figure 13 As shown, the bottom surface of the blocking member 200 is connected to a sliding member 210, which slides in cooperation with the slide rail 160 so that the blocking member 200 can slide along the length direction of the slide rail 160, thereby switching back and forth between the outside of the charging area 110 and the inside of the charging area 110.
[0077] like Figure 14 As shown, in the second embodiment of the charging device 10, the top surface of the slider 210 is an adhesive surface 213, which is used to bond with the bottom of the blocking member 200. The adhesive surface 213 can be an adhesive medium such as an adhesive layer or double-sided tape with sufficient adhesion and structural stability to ensure a firm connection between the slider 210 and the blocking member 200.
[0078] In other alternative embodiments, the connection between the blocking member 200 and the sliding member 210 is not limited to adhesive bonding, but can also refer to the implementation of the first charging device 10 described above, including but not limited to snap-fit, screw-fit and other detachable or fixed connection methods; in some embodiments, the blocking member 200 and the sliding member 210 can also be configured as an integrally formed structure.
[0079] In addition, the slider 210 has a sliding portion 211 on at least one side perpendicular to the extending direction of the blocking member 200. The sliding portion 211 slides in cooperation with the slide rail 160 provided on the back of the charging panel 100, so that the blocking member 200 can slide smoothly along the length direction of the slide rail 160. Specifically, the shape of the sliding portion 211 matches the guide groove structure of the slide rail 160. For example, it can be in the form of a raised slider, roller or guide post to reduce frictional resistance during sliding and improve sliding smoothness.
[0080] Furthermore, a baffle 170 is provided on the edge of the charging panel 100, and a hole is provided on the baffle 170 for the blocking member 200 to pass through. The blocking member 200 slides in the hole, and the hole is preferably located in the middle of the baffle 170.
[0081] When using the charging device 10, if a tablet or unfolded foldable phone needs to be placed on the charging panel 100, the blocking member 200 is slid out of the hole in the baffle 170 beyond the charging area 110. At this time, the charging area 110 is fully exposed, and the tablet or unfolded foldable phone can be placed flat in the charging area 110. If two candybar phones need to be placed on the charging panel 100 at the same time and the candybar phones do not interfere with each other, the blocking member 200 is slid out of the hole in the baffle 170 into the charging area 110 of the charging panel 100. When the hole in the baffle 170 is in the middle of the baffle 170, the blocking member 200 can divide the charging area 110 into two symmetrical charging sub-areas 120. When the hole in the baffle 170 is not in the middle of the baffle 170, the blocking member 200 can divide the charging area 110 into two charging sub-areas 120 with different areas.
[0082] It should be further noted that the clearance groove 130 and the hole on the baffle 170 are connected along the sliding direction of the blocking member 200. If a limiting structure 600 is provided for limiting the blocking member 200, the through hole 610 in the limiting structure 600 is also connected along the sliding direction of the blocking member 200 with the hole on the baffle 170.
[0083] In practical applications, the aforementioned baffle 170 specifically refers to the upper decorative panel frame 700 located on the front of the charging panel 100. This upper decorative panel frame 700 surrounds the charging panel 100, forming an outer enclosure structure. It should be noted that the upper decorative panel frame 700 not only serves a decorative function but also provides shielding and limiting functions, preventing the device from slipping due to accidental touch or slight vibration during charging when placed by the user, thereby improving safety and stability during use.
[0084] To prevent the blocking component 200 from shifting or getting stuck during sliding, there are two slide rails 160, and the blocking component 200 slides in conjunction with the two slide rails 160 simultaneously.
[0085] For example, in such Figure 7 In the first type of charging device 10 shown: the charging device 10 has slide rails 160 at both ends of the extending direction of the blocking member 200, and each slide rail 160 has a groove 161 extending along the extending direction of the blocking member 200. Correspondingly, the blocking member 200 is connected to a sliding member 210 at both ends of its extending direction. The sliding member 210 slides in cooperation with the corresponding groove 161 to form a double-sided guiding structure, so that the blocking member 200 can slide stably along the length direction of the slide rail 160, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of displacement or jamming due to uneven force on one side.
[0086] In such Figures 14 to 16In the second type of charging device 10 shown: the charging device 10 has slide rails 160 on both sides perpendicular to the extending direction of the blocking member 200, and each slide rail 160 has a groove 161 extending along the extending direction of the blocking member 200. Correspondingly, the sliding member 210 has sliding portions 211 on both sides perpendicular to the extending direction of the blocking member 200 that cooperate with the grooves 161. When the blocking member 200 moves along the slide rail 160, the sliding portions 211 slide and cooperate with the corresponding grooves 161 to form a double-sided guide structure. The beneficial effects of this double-sided guide structure are similar to those of the previous embodiment, and will not be repeated here. In this embodiment, the two slide rails 160 can be welded to form a track assembly.
[0087] In some embodiments, an elastic reset member 300 is provided between the charging panel 100 and the blocking member 200, the elastic reset member 300 having a tendency to move the blocking member 200 to separate the charging area 110.
[0088] When the blocking member 200 can move along the front or back of the parallel charging panel 100, the elastic reset member 300 can be a spring or a spring sheet. Taking the elastic reset member 300 as a spring sheet as an example, the spring sheet is connected between the blocking member 200 and the charging panel 100, so that the blocking member 200 always has a tendency to move toward the interior of the charging area 110.
[0089] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, in the first embodiment of the charging device 10 provided by this utility model, the elastic reset member 300 is a coil spring, and the charging panel 100 is provided with a first hanging point 811 for fixing one end of the coil spring. One end of the coil spring is connected to the first hanging point 811, and the other end is connected to the blocking member 200, thereby providing a reset force to the blocking member 200, causing it to tend to move into the charging area 110. When the user releases the blocking member 200, the coil spring can drive it to automatically reset to a preset position to achieve the separation of the charging area 110.
[0090] Optionally, two coil springs are provided, respectively located on both sides perpendicular to the extension direction of the blocking member 200. One end of each coil spring is connected to a corresponding first attachment point 811 on the charging panel 100, and the other end is connected to the blocking member 200 or a component connected to it (for example, a second attachment point 813 is provided on the slider 210 connected to the end of the blocking member 200, which is used to connect the other end of the coil spring), so as to realize bidirectional elastic reset drive of the blocking member 200, and further improve the balance and reset stability during the sliding process.
[0091] like Figure 13As shown, in the embodiment of the first charging device 10 provided by this utility model, the elastic reset member 300 is a coil spring, which is disposed between two slide rails 160. Each of the two slide rails 160 is provided with a first hanging point 811 for fixing one end of the coil spring. One end of the coil spring is limited and fixed by the two first hanging points 811, and the other end is connected to the blocking member 200 or a component connected to it (such as a sliding member 210 connected to the bottom surface of the blocking member 200) to provide a reset force after the blocking member 200 slides, so that it has a tendency to move into the charging area 110.
[0092] To further enhance the stability and ease of operation of the charging device 10 in different usage scenarios, the charging device 10 also includes a locking member. When the blocking member 200 is in the first position, it is locked in the first position by the locking member. This locking member design effectively prevents the blocking member 200 from moving unexpectedly due to external force or accidental contact, thereby ensuring that the charging area 110 is always fully exposed when needed, providing convenience for users to place large electronic devices such as tablets or unfolded foldable phones.
[0093] In some embodiments, the locking member includes a snap-fit structure, through which the blocking member 200 and the charging panel 100 are fixedly connected.
[0094] Specifically, in order to fix the blocking member 200 when it is at the edge of the charging panel 100, the blocking member 200 and the charging panel 100 can be fixedly connected by a snap-fit structure. When the snap-fit structure is opened, the blocking member 200 moves toward the inside of the charging area 110 under the action of the spring piece to separate the charging area 110.
[0095] Similarly, in order to fix the blocking member 200 when it extends beyond the charging area 110, the blocking member 200 and the charging panel 100 can be fixedly connected by a snap-fit structure. When the snap-fit structure is opened, the blocking member 200 moves toward the inside of the charging area 110 under the action of the spring piece to separate the charging area 110.
[0096] In other embodiments, to improve the locking stability and ease of operation of the blocking member 200 at a specific position, the locking member includes a lock body 410 and a lock seat 430 that can be locked together. One of the lock body 410 and the lock seat 430 is disposed on the slide rail 160 or the charging panel 100, and the other is connected to the blocking member 200. Based on the above, the charging area 110 is fully exposed when the lock body 410 and the lock seat 430 are locked together.
[0097] Specifically, the lock base 430 can be fixedly installed on the slide rail 160 or the charging panel 100 at an appropriate position, while the lock body 410 is disposed on a component connected to the blocking member 200, such as the sliding member 210 or the limiting structure 600. The two can be detachably connected by locking methods such as snap-fit, knob, push rod, or magnetic attraction. When the user slides the blocking member 200 to the position where the charging area 110 is fully exposed, the locking body 410 and the lock base 430 are engaged and locked together, thus stably holding the blocking member 200 in that position and preventing it from being reset due to accidental contact or external force.
[0098] For example, such as Figure 5 As shown, a mounting point 815 is provided on the side of the charging panel 100 away from the first hanging point 811. The lock base 430 is detachably or fixedly connected to the charging panel 100 through this mounting point 815. Correspondingly, a lock body 410 is provided on the end of the sliding member 210 away from the second hanging point 813. Specifically, it can be a lock rod or other adaptable structure, used to achieve locking and unlocking operations with the lock base 430.
[0099] When the user slides the blocking member 200 to a set position (e.g., when the charging area 110 is fully exposed), they push the lock body 410 to engage the locking lever with the lock seat 430, thereby securing the blocking member 200 stably in that position and preventing it from resetting due to accidental contact or vibration. At this time, the charging area 110 is fully exposed, making it convenient for the user to place large electronic devices, such as tablets or unfolded folding phones.
[0100] When the position of the blocking member 200 needs to be adjusted, the user can manually disengage the locking state between the lock body 410 and the lock seat 430 (for example, by pulling the lock rod out of the lock seat 430), so that the blocking member 200 can return to a free sliding state, thereby realizing flexible switching of the division method of the charging area 110.
[0101] like Figure 13 As shown, a mounting point 815 is provided on the side of the slide rail 160 away from the first hanging point 811. The lock seat 430 is detachably or fixedly connected to the charging panel 100 through this mounting point 815. Correspondingly, a lock body 410 is provided on the end of the sliding member 210 away from the first hanging point 811. Specifically, it can be a lock rod or other adaptable structure, used to lock and unlock with the lock seat 430. The working principle and operation of the lock seat 430 and lock body 410 in this embodiment are similar to those described above, and will not be repeated here.
[0102] Additionally, it should be noted that in the embodiments of this application, the lock seat 430 is a push-button connector, and the lock body 410 can be connected to or disconnected from the push-button connector when subjected to pressure toward the push-button connector.
[0103] It should be noted that the push-button connector is a commonly used connector, also known as a PUSH-PUSH connector. The core of this push-button connector is its double-push operation mechanism. When the user presses the push-button connector, the lock body 410 will insert into the push-button connector and lock, so that the blocking member 200 is stably located at the edge of the charging panel 100 or beyond the charging area 110. When the user presses the push-button connector again, the lock body 410 will disconnect from the push-button connector to unlock.
[0104] Such push-button connectors typically contain a retaining ring, a heart-shaped groove, and a spring. The retaining ring engages with the heart-shaped groove to lock the push-button connector when the lock body 410 is inserted, keeping the lock body 410 and the push-button connector locked. The spring provides the necessary elasticity to ensure a stable connection between the lock body 410 and the push-button connector when inserted, and allows the lock body 410 and the push-button connector to unlock quickly when the blocking member 200 is pressed a second time.
[0105] Considering that with only the elastic reset member 300 driving, the blocking member 200 might rebound quickly due to the elastic force, resulting in an uneven sliding process and affecting the user's tactile experience, the charging device 10 also includes a damping component 500 disposed between the charging panel 100 and the blocking member 200, or between the slide rail 160 and the blocking member 200. The damping component 500 provides damping force when the blocking member 200 slides relative to the slide rail 160, so as to make the blocking member 200 slide stably.
[0106] Understandably, the damping component 500 can provide a certain resistance during the sliding of the blocking component 200, thereby buffering the rebound effect of the elastic reset component 300, preventing the blocking component 200 from rapidly resetting due to excessive elastic force, and improving the tactile feedback when the user pushes or pulls the blocking component 200.
[0107] In one optional embodiment, the damping assembly 500 includes a gear damper 510 and a rack 530 that mesh with each other. The gear damper 510 is rotatably mounted on the slide rail 160 or the charging panel 100, and the rack 530 is connected to the blocking member 200. Therefore, as the blocking member 200 slides along the slide rail 160, the rack 530 moves with the blocking member 200 and meshes with the gear damper 510, thereby providing stable sliding resistance and allowing the blocking member 200 to slide stably.
[0108] Specifically, in Figure 5In the embodiment of the first charging device 10 shown, the charging panel 100 is provided with a latching point 817, and a gear damper 510 is installed at the latching point 817 and meshes with the rack 530. The rack 530 is connected to the blocking member 200 through a sliding member 210. When the blocking member 200 slides along the slide rail 160, the rack 530 moves accordingly and drives the gear damper 510 to rotate, thereby generating a sliding damping force.
[0109] exist Figure 13 In the embodiment of the second charging device 10 shown, a locking point 817 is provided on the slide rail 160, and a gear damper 510 is installed on the locking point 817 and cooperates with the rack 530. Similarly, the rack 530 is connected to the blocking member 200 through the sliding member 210 so as to form a meshing transmission with the gear damper 510 during the sliding process of the blocking member 200, thereby realizing damping control of the sliding process.
[0110] In the two embodiments, the installation positions of the gear damper 510 are different (either in the middle of the slide rail 160 or in the middle of the panel), but their working principles are the same. Both achieve sliding damping control through the meshing of the rack 530 and the gear damper 510, thereby improving the stability and operation feel of the blocking component 200. The difference lies in whether the gear damper 510 is fixed to the charging panel 100 or the slide rail 160. This structural design can be flexibly selected according to the actual assembly space and product layout to meet the implementation requirements of different structural schemes.
[0111] In actual operation, when the user pushes or pulls the blocking component 200 to slide along the slide rail 160, the rack 530 moves accordingly and drives the gear damper 510 meshing with it to rotate. The damping structure set inside the gear damper 510 generates resistance, so that the blocking component 200 is subjected to a certain damping effect during the movement, thereby improving the smoothness of sliding and the operating feel.
[0112] The built-in damping structure in the gear damper 510 can be implemented in various ways, such as friction plates, magnetic powder, hydraulic buffers, or eddy current braking, to provide constant or adjustable rotational resistance during gear rotation. This rotational resistance is transmitted to the blocking member 200 through the meshing of the gear and rack 530, thereby forming a damping force in the sliding direction opposite to the moving direction, achieving effective control over the sliding process of the blocking member 200.
[0113] In another alternative embodiment, the damping assembly 500 includes two mating friction elements and an elastic element for applying a preload between the two friction elements. One friction element is fixedly mounted on the slide rail 160 or the charging panel 100, while the other friction element is fixedly mounted on the blocking member 200 or a sliding member 210 linked thereto.
[0114] In actual operation, when the user pushes the blocking component 200 to slide, sliding friction is generated between the two friction components under the action of contact pressure, thereby providing a stable damping force. This damping force can not only effectively suppress the phenomenon of the blocking component 200 rebounding rapidly due to the action of the elastic reset component 300, but also improve the smoothness of the sliding process and the tactile feedback of the user's operation.
[0115] It should also be noted that in the aforementioned embodiments, the movement of the blocking member 200 is achieved by the user manually pushing the charging device 10; in other embodiments, the blocking member 200 can also be moved automatically. For example, the charging device 10 may also include a drive component and a controller, the controller being electrically connected to the drive component, for controlling the blocking member 200 to switch between a first position state and a second position state according to user input commands or sensor detection results.
[0116] Specifically, the driving component adopts a pneumatic drive assembly or a hydraulic drive assembly, and its specific structure includes a fixed base, a piston cylinder, and a piston rod. The fixed base is fixedly mounted on the charging panel 100 or the slide rail 160, the piston cylinder is installed in the fixed base, one end of the piston rod is slidably mounted in the piston cylinder, and the other end is connected to the blocking member 200. By introducing compressed gas or hydraulic oil into the piston cylinder, the piston rod is pushed to extend and retract along its axial direction, thereby causing the blocking member 200 to move in a direction parallel to the front or back of the charging panel 100, realizing the complete exposure of the charging area 110 or the division into multiple charging sub-areas 120.
[0117] in addition, Figure 17 A schematic diagram of the charging device 10 applied to a car is shown. Figure 18 A schematic diagram is shown showing the charging device 10 specifically applied to the CNSL in a vehicle. In other embodiments, the charging device 10 may also be applied to transportation vehicles such as ships and aircraft, without limitation.
[0118] The working principle of the charging device 10 provided in this application embodiment includes:
[0119] When the charging device 10 includes a blocking member 200 that is movably disposed along the direction parallel to the front or back of the charging panel 100, if it is necessary to place a tablet or an unfolded folding phone on the charging panel 100, the blocking member 200 is moved to one side of the charging panel 100 to fully expose the charging area 110. At this time, the tablet or the unfolded folding phone can be placed flat in the charging area 110. If it is necessary to place two or more candybar phones on the charging panel 100 at the same time and prevent the candybar phones from interfering with each other, or to place a candybar phone and roughly limit the position of the phone on the charging panel 100, the blocking member 200 is moved or rotated into the charging area 110 to divide the charging area 110 into at least two charging sub-areas 120. At this time, each candybar phone can be placed in the corresponding charging sub-area 120.
[0120] The technical effects of the charging device 10 provided in this application embodiment include at least the following:
[0121] The charging device 10 is compatible with various electronic devices, including candybar phones, foldable phones, and tablets, offering high compatibility. Since tablets or unfolded foldable phones can be placed flat in the charging area 110, the charging speed is well-assured. Due to the damping component 500, the blocking member 200 experiences resistance during sliding, effectively buffering the rebound force generated by the elastic reset member 300 and preventing the blocking member 200 from rapidly resetting due to excessive elastic force. Simultaneously, this damping effect improves the user's handling when pushing or pulling the blocking member 200, making the sliding process smoother and more controllable, further enhancing the user experience.
[0122] In summary, this application provides a charging device 10, which includes a charging panel 100 and a blocking member 200. When using the charging device 10, if a tablet or an unfolded foldable phone needs to be placed on the charging panel 100, the blocking member 200 is moved to fully expose the charging area 110. At this time, the tablet or unfolded foldable phone can be placed flat in the charging area 110 for charging. If two or more candybar phones need to be placed on the charging panel 100 at the same time to prevent them from interfering with each other, or if a candybar phone needs to be placed and its position on the charging panel 100 is roughly defined, the blocking member 200 is moved to divide the charging area 110 into at least two charging sub-areas 120. At this time, each candybar phone can be placed in the corresponding charging sub-area 120. The charging device 10 can simultaneously adapt to electronic devices such as candybar phones, foldable phones, and tablets, and has high adaptability. Since the tablet or unfolded foldable phone can be placed flat in the charging area 110, the charging speed of the tablet or unfolded foldable phone is also well guaranteed.
[0123] 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.
