Detachable Charging Pad With Modular Control Box
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional charging pads for wireless mice lack flexibility in functionality and cannot be easily expanded by users.
Innovation Solution
A detachable charging pad design featuring a split structure between a carrier and a control box, where the control box can be optionally connected to the carrier to activate specific functions such as wireless charging or glowing, allowing users to choose the desired operation by selecting different control boxes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the charging pad uses a fixed integrated design, then the structure is simple and reliable, but the functionality cannot be expanded or adapted by users
Solution Approach 1:
The charging pad is divided into two separate modules: a carrier with coil portion and a control box with control circuit. These modules can be detached from each other, allowing users to configure different control boxes with the carrier to expand functionality while maintaining a relatively simple individual structure for each module.
2Ease of operation
If the control box is detachably disposed in the housing, then users can flexibly select functions, but the electrical connection between components becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The control box is designed to be detachably disposed in the housing of the carrier, allowing dynamic configuration. When the control box is inserted, electrical connecting portions establish connections; when removed, connections are broken. This dynamic design enables flexible functional selection without permanently complex wiring.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enables flexible and user-friendly operation of the charging pad by allowing users to select and activate various functions based on the control box used, enhancing the usability and versatility of the charging pad.
Implementation Method 1
The carrier has a coil portion and the control circuit outputs a control signal to the coil portion so that the coil portion activates a wireless charging function

AI summary
A detachable charging pad includes a carrier and a control box. The carrier has a coil portion and a housing, and the housing has a first electrical connecting portion. The control box is detachably disposed in the housing. The control box has a control circuit and a second electrical connecting portion. When the control box is disposed in the housing, the first electrical connecting portion and the second electrical connecting portion are electrically in contact with each other. The control circuit outputs a control signal to the coil portion through the second electrical connecting portion and the first electrical connecting portion. The coil portion activates a wireless charging function according to the control signal. When the control box is not disposed in the housing, the coil portion stops the wireless charging function.
