Magnetic Portable Ring Charger for Reliable On-the-Go Power
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Wearable devices often lack portable charging solutions, making it difficult for users to charge them on the go and ensuring secure charging, especially when varying device sizes complicate the design of a universal charging case.
Innovation Solution
A portable charging device comprising a base and a detachable cover with magnets, allowing wireless charging and power transfer between the base and cover, enabling on-the-go charging and secure fitting for different device sizes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a fixed charger base is used, then charging reliability is improved, but portability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The charging system is divided into two independent parts: a portable charging case that can be carried anywhere, and a separate base unit that provides stable charging when available. This segmentation allows the user to have portability when traveling while maintaining charging reliability when at home or in the office.
Solution Approach 2:
The portable charging case acts as an intermediary between the wearable device and external power sources. It contains an internal battery that can charge the wearable device wirelessly, serving as a mobile power reservoir that bridges the gap between fixed charging infrastructure and portable needs.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a universal charging case is designed to accommodate varying device sizes, then adaptability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The charging case is designed with a universal wireless charging platform that can charge multiple types of wearable devices regardless of their specific size or model. The wireless charging mechanism eliminates the need for device-specific connectors or compartments, allowing a single case design to serve multiple functions across different device types.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces mechanical fitting mechanisms (such as custom molds, clips, or compartments for different device sizes) with a wireless electromagnetic field-based charging system. This substitution eliminates the complexity of designing mechanical adaptations for various device dimensions while maintaining universal compatibility.

AI summary
Methods, systems, and devices for a portable ring charger are described. The portable ring charger may include a base and a cover that is detachably couplable to the base via one or more magnets. The base may include a charging post that is configured to receive a wearable ring device in a charging position for charging, and a first charging component configured to wirelessly charge the wearable ring device through the charging post. When the base is coupled with an external power source (e.g., electrical outlet), the base may charge the ring using power received from the external power source. Conversely, when the base is detached from the external power source, the base may wirelessly receive power from a battery within the detachable cover.
