Solution Overview

Problem

Current wireless charging devices require users to carry both the charger and plug module separately, making them inconvenient to use.

Innovation Solution

A wireless charging device that integrates a plug module and a wireless charger via a rack, where the rack is mounted on an inclined plane with guiding grooves and an elastic piece, allowing the charger to be securely positioned and tilted for easy use.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If the wireless charger and plug module are independently designed, then each component can be optimized separately, but the user must carry both components separately which reduces convenience

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecomponent optimizationVSAvoiduser convenience

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of manufactureVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the wireless charger and plug module into a single integrated unit. The wireless charger is mounted on the rack which is fixed to the plug module body, eliminating the need for separate carrying of two components while maintaining the ability to optimize each component's design independently during the integration process

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Ease of operation

If the wireless charger is integrated with the plug module, then user convenience is improved, but the device structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveuser convenienceVSAvoidstructure complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The plug module body serves multiple functions: it acts as the housing for the plug, provides mounting structure for the wireless charger via the rack, and includes integrated features like the elastic piece for securing the rack and guiding grooves for positioning. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional separate components

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Stability of the object's composition

If the rack is securely fixed to the plug module, then the wireless charger positioning is stable, but the assembly process becomes more difficult

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecharger positioning stabilityVSAvoidassembly difficulty

Core Design Contradiction:

Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The elastic piece automatically secures the rack to the plug module when the rack is inserted. The elastic piece is biased to engage with the rack, providing self-locking functionality that ensures stable positioning while allowing for easy insertion and removal during assembly and disassembly

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

A wireless charging device includes a plug module, a rack and a wireless charger. The plug module has a top wall, and two opposite side walls connected with two opposite sides of the top wall. A front end of a top surface of the top wall of the plug module is defined as an inclined plane. The rack is mounted on the inclined plane of the plug module. A front end of a bottom surface of the rack is recessed inward to form a lower accommodating groove. The inclined plane is mounted in the lower accommodating groove. A top surface of the rack is recessed downward to form an upper accommodating groove. The wireless charger is mounted in the upper accommodating groove.
