Charging device
[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202422776084X, filed on November 13, 2024, entitled “Charging Device”, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field
[0002] This application relates to the field of charging technology, and more specifically, to a charging device. Background Technology
[0003] Nowadays, more and more smart devices need to be charged in our daily lives, including smartphones, laptops, tablets, and other smart devices.
[0004] Currently, charging devices often have wireless charging modules, which can be used to wirelessly charge external devices. However, the charging power of wireless charging modules for external devices is relatively low, resulting in low overall charging efficiency of the charging device. Summary of the Invention
[0005] This application provides a charging device that, in addition to enabling wireless charging of external devices via a wireless charging component, also allows for wired charging of external devices via a retractable cable component, thereby improving the overall charging efficiency of the charging device for external devices.
[0006] This application provides a charging device, including a housing assembly, a first wireless charging assembly, a second wireless charging assembly, and a retractable cable assembly. The housing assembly includes a housing body and a flip cover, the flip cover being rotatably disposed on the housing body. The first wireless charging assembly is disposed on the housing body; the second wireless charging assembly is disposed on the flip cover; the retractable cable assembly is disposed on the housing body and is used to charge an external device. The charging device has at least two operating states: in a first operating state, the flip cover and the housing body are in a relatively close position, allowing the second wireless charging assembly to charge the external device; in a second operating state, the flip cover and the housing body are in a relatively far position, so that the second wireless charging assembly and the first wireless charging assembly are relatively far apart, and both the first and second wireless charging assemblies can charge the external device.
[0007] Based on the above embodiments, the rotatable connection between the flip cover and the housing body allows the user to rotate the flip cover 112 to set the charging device to the first working state when only one external device needs wireless charging. This enables the user to use the second wireless charging component to charge the external device. Furthermore, since the flip cover and the housing body are in a relatively close position, the space occupied by the flip cover outside the housing body can be reduced, thereby reducing the space occupied by the second wireless charging component outside the housing assembly and reducing the overall size of the charging device. This makes the charging device easier to carry and use.
[0008] When a user has two external devices that need to be wirelessly charged, the flip cover can be flipped to set the charging device to a second working state, so that the first wireless charging component and the second wireless charging component can be used to charge the two external devices respectively, thereby increasing the applicability of the charging device and improving the charging efficiency of the charging device for external devices.
[0009] Furthermore, since the charging power of wired charging is often higher than that of wireless charging components, in this embodiment, in addition to the wireless charging component's ability to wirelessly charge external devices, a retractable cable component can also be used to wired charge external devices, thereby improving the overall charging efficiency of the charging device for external devices. This also allows the charging device to provide wired charging functionality to users in addition to its wireless charging capabilities, expanding the usage scenarios of the charging device and meeting different user needs, thus improving the user experience.

Embodiments of the present invention
[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.
[0020] Please refer to Figure 1. This application embodiment provides a charging device 1, which includes a housing assembly 11 and a mechanism (not shown in the figure).
[0021] The housing assembly 11 covers the movement to protect it, reducing the probability of damage and thus extending its lifespan, consequently extending the lifespan of the charging device 1. It is understood that the housing assembly 11 can be made of metal or plastic. In this embodiment, it is made of plastic to reduce its weight, thereby reducing the overall weight of the charging device 1 and facilitating its use and carrying. It is understood that the housing assembly 11 can be integrally molded using injection molding, resulting in high structural strength and a low probability of damage, thus ensuring better protection for the movement and extending its lifespan, consequently extending the lifespan of the charging device 1. It is understood that the movement may include a main control board and a battery, with the main control board electrically connected to the battery.
[0022] Referring to Figures 1 and 2, in order to increase the applicability of the charging device 1, the housing assembly 11 includes a housing body 111 and a flip cover 112. The flip cover 112 is rotatably disposed on the housing body 111. The charging device 1 also includes a first wireless charging assembly 12, a second wireless charging assembly 13, and a retractable cable assembly 14.
[0023] The first wireless charging component 12 is disposed on the housing body 111 and is electrically connected to the core mechanism. The first wireless charging component 12 can charge external devices.
[0024] The second wireless charging component 13 is disposed on the flip cover 112 and is electrically connected to the core mechanism. The second wireless charging component 13 can charge external devices.
[0025] The telescopic cable assembly 14 is located on the housing body 111 and is used to charge external devices.
[0026] Since the flip cover 112 is rotatably disposed on the housing body 111, the charging device 1 has at least two working states. In the first working state, the flip cover 112 and the housing body 111 are in a relatively close position, so that the second wireless charging component 13 can charge the external device. In the second working state, the flip cover 112 and the housing body 111 are in a relatively far position, so that the second wireless charging component 13 is relatively far away from the first wireless charging component 12, and both the first wireless charging component 12 and the second wireless charging component 13 can charge the external device.
[0027] By utilizing the rotatable connection between the flip cover 112 and the housing body 111, when the user has only one external device that needs wireless charging, rotating the flip cover 112 can set the charging device 1 to the first working state, thereby enabling the second wireless charging component 13 to charge the external device. Furthermore, since the flip cover 112 and the housing body 111 are in a relatively close position, the space occupied by the flip cover 112 outside the housing body 111 can be reduced, thereby reducing the space occupied by the second wireless charging component 13 outside the housing component 11, reducing the overall size of the charging device 1, and thus making the charging device 1 easier to carry and use.
[0028] When a user has two external devices that need to be wirelessly charged, the flip cover 112 can be flipped to set the charging device 1 to the second working state. This allows the first wireless charging component 12 and the second wireless charging component 13 to charge the two external devices respectively, thereby increasing the applicability of the charging device 1 and improving the charging efficiency of the charging device 1 for charging external devices.
[0029] For example, when the charging device 1 is in the first working state, the flip cover 112 can be placed on the housing body 111, and the second wireless charging component 13 can charge external devices; when the charging device 1 is in the second working state, the flip cover 112 can be set at an angle to the housing body 111, and the second wireless charging component 13 can be set at an angle to the first wireless charging component 12. The first wireless charging component 12 and the second wireless charging component 13 can charge two external devices respectively, so as to improve the charging efficiency of the charging device 1 in charging external devices; and since the flip cover 112 can be placed on the housing body 111, the space occupied by the flip cover 112 outside the housing body 111 can be reduced, so as to reduce the space occupied by the second wireless charging component 13 outside the housing body 11, reducing the overall volume of the charging device 1, thereby facilitating the carrying and use of the charging device 1.
[0030] In other embodiments, when the charging device 1 is in the first working state, the flip cover 112 may also be set at an angle to the housing body 111, but the angle between the flip cover 112 and the housing body 111 when the charging device 1 is in the first working state is smaller than the angle between the flip cover 112 and the housing body 111 when the charging device 1 is in the second working state.
[0031] It can be understood that the housing body 111 and the flip cover 112 can be connected by a pivot or hinge, so that the flip cover 112 can rotate relative to the housing body 111, thereby allowing the flip cover 112 to be in different positions, so that the charging device 1 has at least the two working states mentioned above. In this application example, the rotation structure between the housing body 111 and the flip cover 112 is not specifically limited.
[0032] Referring to Figures 1-3, in one embodiment, in order to improve the charging efficiency of the charging device 1, the charging device 1 may further include a telescopic cable assembly 14. The telescopic cable assembly 14 is connected to and exposed to the housing body 111. The charging device 1 can connect to an external device through the telescopic cable assembly 14 to charge the external device.
[0033] In this embodiment, since the charging power of wired charging is often higher than that of wireless charging, in addition to the wireless charging component of the charging device 1 being able to wirelessly charge external devices, the retractable cable component 14 can also be used to wired charge external devices, thereby improving the overall charging efficiency of the charging device 1 for charging external devices. This also allows the charging device 1 to provide wired charging functionality to users in addition to its wireless charging capabilities via the retractable cable component 14, increasing the usage scenarios of the charging device 1, meeting different user needs, and improving the user experience.
[0034] Referring to Figures 3 and 4, in one embodiment, the side of the housing body 111 has a cable outlet 111A. The retractable cable assembly 14 includes a cable retraction drive and a charging cable 142. The cable retraction drive is disposed inside the housing body 111. The charging cable 142 includes a cable body 1421 and a connecting end 1422. One end of the cable body 1421 is connected to a coil spring 141 and electrically connected to the mechanism. The other end of the cable body 1421 passes through the cable outlet 111A and connects to the connecting end 1422. The connecting end 1422 has a first charging port 14221, which can be connected to an external device for charging. The cable retraction drive is configured to drive the charging cable 142 to retract. In other embodiments, the cable retraction drive can also be configured to drive the charging cable 142 to extend. Of course, the cable retraction drive is configured to drive the charging cable 142 to extend when the user needs to use it and to drive the charging cable 142 to retract when the user does not need to use it.
[0035] Please refer to Figures 3 and 4. Specifically, the winding drive can be a coil spring 141, which is connected to one end of the wire body 1421.
[0036] When a user needs to charge an external device using the charging cable 142, pulling the connecting end 1422 causes the cable body 1421 to move outward from the housing body 111 along the outlet 111A, causing the coil spring 141 to undergo elastic deformation. This allows the user to charge the external device using the longer cable body 1421 through the first charging port 14221, increasing the usage scenarios of the charging device 1. After the user finishes using the device, the elastic force generated by the elastic deformation of the coil spring 141 causes the cable body 1421 to move inward from the outlet 111A into the housing body 111 until the cable body 1421 is inside the housing body 111, thus achieving the storage of the cable body 1421.
[0037] It is understood that the first charging port 14221 includes at least one of a USB-A port, a USB-B port, a USB-C port, a Micro-USB port, and a Lightning port. It is also understood that, in this embodiment, the charging cable 142 may further include multiple connection ends 1422, each connection end 1422 having a first charging port 14221, and at least two connection ends 1422 having different first charging ports 14221, so that the charging device 1 can be adapted to multiple external devices, thereby improving the applicability of the charging device 1.
[0038] Understandably, after the user pulls out the desired length of the cable body 1421, to prevent the coil spring 141 from driving the cable body 1421 into the housing body 111, the telescopic cable assembly 14 may also include a check structure (not shown in the figure). The check structure is used to keep the charging cable 1421 in place after it is extended. Specifically, after the user pulls out the desired length of the cable body 1421, the check structure can restrict the coil spring 141 from driving the cable body 1421 into the housing body 111, thereby keeping the pulled-out cable body 1421 outside the housing body 111 for charging external devices. After charging is complete, the check structure is released, allowing the coil spring 141 to drive the cable body 1421 into the housing body 111 for storage of the cable body 1421.
[0039] It is understood that the check valve structure may include at least one of a slot and block structure, a ratchet and pawl structure. In other embodiments, the check valve structure may also take other forms. In the embodiments of this application, the specific form of the check valve structure is not limited.
[0040] Referring to Figures 3 and 4, the cable outlet 111A can be located on the side of the housing body 111 away from the top surface, so that the cable outlet 111A is located near the bottom of the charging device 1. When the user pulls the cable body 1421 outward from the housing body 111 through the connection end 1422, and when the coil spring 141 drives the cable body 1421 to move inward from the housing body 111, the probability of the charging device 1 tipping over can be reduced, thereby improving the stability of the charging device 1.
[0041] Referring to Figures 2-4, in one embodiment, the side of the housing body 111 also has a receiving groove 111B. The cable outlet 111A communicates with the receiving groove 111B. The receiving groove 111B is used to receive the connection end 1422 to prevent the connection end 1422 from being directly exposed on the side of the housing body 111, thereby reducing the probability of damage to the connection end 1422 and enabling the connection end 1422 to have a longer service life, which in turn enables the charging device 1 to have a longer service life.
[0042] Referring to Figures 2-4, further, to improve the connection stability of the connecting end 1422 within the receiving groove 111B, the housing assembly 11 also includes a fixing structure. This fixing structure secures the connecting end 1422 within the receiving groove 111B, preventing it from protruding from the groove opening and reducing the probability of damage to the connecting end 1422. This allows the connecting end 1422 to have a longer service life, thereby extending the service life of the charging device 1. It is understood that the fixing structure can be a fixing buckle disposed on the inner wall of the receiving groove 111B. In other embodiments, the fixing structure can also take other forms. In this embodiment, the specific form of the fixing structure is not limited.
[0043] Referring to Figures 2-4, specifically, the fixing structure may include a first magnetic attractor 116 and a second magnetic attractor 14222. The first magnetic attractor 116 is disposed in the receiving groove 111B, and the second magnetic attractor 14222 is disposed in the connecting end 1422. The first magnetic attractor 116 and the second magnetic attractor 14222 are magnetically connected to fix the connecting end 1422 in the receiving groove 111B, thereby reducing the probability of the connecting end 1422 detaching from the receiving groove 111B. It is understood that one of the first magnetic attractor 116 and the second magnetic attractor 14222 is a magnet, and the other can be a metal part. In other embodiments, both the first magnetic attractor 116 and the second magnetic attractor 14222 can be magnets. It is understood that the first magnetic attractor 116 can be disposed at the bottom of the receiving groove 111B or on the side wall of the receiving groove 111B. In other embodiments, the first magnetic element 116 can be provided on both the side wall and the bottom wall of the receiving groove 111B, thereby further reducing the probability of the connecting end 1422 disengaging from the receiving groove 111B. In this embodiment, the placement of the first magnetic element 116 within the receiving groove 111B is not specifically limited.
[0044] When a user needs to wire-charge an external device, they can pull the connector 1422, causing the second magnetic member 14222 to disengage from the first magnetic member 116. This allows the connector 1422 to move the cable body 1421 outwards from the housing body 111, facilitating charging of the external device using the charging cable 142. After charging is complete, the coil spring 141 moves the cable body 1421 inwards from the housing body 111 until it returns to its original position. The user can then move the connector 1422 into the receiving groove 111B, causing the first magnetic member 116 and the second magnetic member 14222 to magnetically connect, thus securing the connector 1422 within the receiving groove 111B.
[0045] Referring to Figures 2-4, further, in order to improve the convenience of fixing the connecting end 1422 in the receiving groove 111B, the receiving groove 111B has a first groove sidewall 111B1, the outlet 111A penetrates the bottom of the receiving groove 111B and the first groove sidewall 111B1, and the connecting end 1422 has a contact surface 1422A on the side near the wire body 1421, and the contact surface 1422A can abut against the first groove sidewall 111B1. After charging is complete, the coil spring 141 drives the wire body 1421 to move into the housing body 111, causing the contact surface 1422A to press against the first groove sidewall 111B1, thereby generating a first force on the first groove sidewall 111B1. The reaction force of the first force causes the connecting end 1422 to swing away from the first groove sidewall 111B1, thereby causing the first magnetic member 116 and the second magnetic member 14222 to magnetically connect, thereby fixing the connecting end 1422 in the receiving groove 111B, realizing the storage of the connecting end 1422. Compared with the user toggling the connecting end 1422 for storage, it is more convenient and faster.
[0046] It is understandable that the contact surface 1422A can be an inclined surface, which can abut against the first groove sidewall 111B1. In this case, the extension direction of the connecting end 1422 is set at an angle to the extension direction of the first groove sidewall 111B1, so that the connecting end 1422 can swing away from the first groove sidewall 111B1, thereby allowing the first magnetic member 116 and the second magnetic member 14222 to be magnetically connected, and thus fixing the connecting end 1422 in the receiving groove 111B. Of course, the contact surface 1422A can also be a curved surface, which can achieve the same effect, but will not be elaborated on here.
[0047] It is understood that in other embodiments, the outlet 111A may also be formed only on the first sidewall 111B1 of the receiving groove 111B. It is understood that the outlet 111A may also be formed only at the bottom of the receiving groove 111B. In the embodiments of this application, the specific location of the outlet 111A is not limited.
[0048] Referring to Figure 2, in one embodiment, to further enrich the functionality of the charging device 1, the charging device 1 may further include a second charging port 143. The second charging port 143 is disposed on the side of the housing body 111 and electrically connected to the mechanism, so that the user can connect an external device to the second charging port 143, enabling the charging device 1 to charge the external device through the second charging port 143. Exemplarily, the second charging port 143 includes at least one of a USB-A port, a USB-B port, a USB-C port, a Micro-USB port, and a Lightning port.
[0049] It is understood that the side of the housing body 111 may also be provided with a plurality of second charging ports 143, with adjacent second charging ports 143 spaced apart. The second charging ports 143 are used to connect an external charging cable to charge external devices. In this embodiment of the application, there are no specific limitations on the number, arrangement and type of the second charging ports 143.
[0050] Referring to Figure 2, in one embodiment, the charging device 1 further includes a display component 15. The display component 15 is disposed on the housing body 111 and electrically connected to the mechanism. The display component 15 is used to display the display information of the charging device 1. The display information includes at least one of charging information, power information and functional module information.
[0051] For example, when the charging device 1 is in standby mode, the display component 15 can display power information. For instance, the display component 15 can display the remaining power of the charging device 1.
[0052] For example, the charging device 1 may also include functional modules, such as a Bluetooth module or a WIFI module. The display component 15 may also display functional module information, such as switch status information, of the functional modules.
[0053] For example, when one of the first wireless charging component 12, the second wireless charging component 13, the first charging port 14221, and the second charging port 143 is charging an external device, the display component 15 can display charging information for the device. When multiple of the first wireless charging component 12, the second wireless charging component 13, the first charging port 14221, and the second charging port 143 are charging external devices, the display component 15 can cyclically display the charging information for the corresponding components. It is understood that the charging information includes at least one of charging voltage, charging current, and charging power. It is understood that the charging device 1 can simultaneously display charging information, power information, and functional module information through the display component 15, and can also display specific information according to user needs. In this embodiment, no specific limitations are imposed.
[0054] Referring to Figures 2 and 5, in one embodiment, the display component 15 includes a bracket 151, a display screen 152, and a panel 153. The bracket 151 is connected to the housing body 111; the display screen 152 is connected to the bracket 151; the panel 153 is disposed on the side of the display screen 152 away from the bracket 151, and the panel 153 has at least a light-transmitting area 153A, through which light emitted from the display screen 152 can be emitted, so that the user can obtain display information through the light-transmitting area 153A.
[0055] Referring to Figures 2 and 5, specifically, the housing body 111 may have a first mounting groove 111D and a second mounting groove 111E. The first mounting groove 111D is disposed at the bottom of the second mounting groove 111E and communicates with the second mounting groove 111E. The bracket 151 is connected to the groove wall of the first mounting groove 111D. The display screen 152 is disposed on the side of the bracket 151 facing the second mounting groove 111E and is electrically connected to the mechanism for displaying display information. The panel 153 is disposed on the side of the display screen 152 away from the bracket 151 and is connected to the groove wall of the second mounting groove 111E. The panel 153 has at least a light-transmitting area 153A, through which light emitted from the display screen 152 can be emitted so that the user can obtain display information through the light-transmitting area 153A.
[0056] It is understood that the display screen 152 may include at least one of a cathode ray tube display (CRT), a liquid crystal display (LCD), a light-emitting diode display (LED), and an organic light-emitting diode display (OLED). In this embodiment, the specific form of the display screen 152 is not limited.
[0057] In this embodiment, using the bracket 151 to mount the display screen 152, and then installing the bracket 151 into the first mounting slot 111D, can improve the installation efficiency of the display screen 152, thereby improving the overall assembly efficiency of the charging device 1. Furthermore, the bracket 151 can protect the display screen 152, reducing the probability of damage and thus allowing the display screen 152 to have a longer service life, which in turn allows the charging device 1 to have a longer service life.
[0058] It is understood that the bracket 151 can be made of plastic or metal, and the material of the bracket 151 is not specifically limited in this embodiment. It is also understood that the bracket 151 can be snapped, glued, or screwed onto the wall of the first mounting groove 111D. In other embodiments, the bracket 151 and the wall of the first mounting groove 111D can be connected in other ways. In this embodiment, the snap-fit connection of the bracket 151 to the wall of the first mounting groove 111D can improve the efficiency of installing the bracket 151 into the first mounting groove 111D, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the display screen 152.
[0059] It is understandable that since the panel 153 is embedded in the second mounting groove 111E, the surface of the panel 153 is flush with the surface of the housing body 111, which can improve the overall aesthetics of the charging device 1 and prevent the panel 153 from protruding from the surface of the housing body 111, thereby reducing the probability of damage to the panel 153 and thus enabling the panel 153 to have a longer service life, which in turn enables the charging device 1 to have a longer service life.
[0060] Referring to Figure 5, further, in order to improve the installation stability of the display screen 152 and the bracket 151, the bracket 151 has a third mounting groove 151A facing the second mounting groove 111E. The display screen 152 is embedded in the third mounting groove 151A, thereby increasing the contact area between the display screen 152 and the bracket 151, thereby improving the installation stability of the display screen 152 and the bracket 151, and thus improving the connection stability between the display screen 152 and the housing body 111.
[0061] It is understood that the panel 153 may also include a light-shielding area 153B, which surrounds the light-transmitting area 153A. The light-shielding area 153B can make the panel 153 and the housing body 111 have better integration, making the housing body 111 aesthetically pleasing overall.
[0062] Referring to Figure 5, in one embodiment, the charging device 1 further includes a control component 16, which is connected to and exposed to the housing body 111.
