Segmented Storage Body for Wireless Charging
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional carry cases for portable terminals are bulky and pose a risk of the device falling during movement, making it difficult to carry and charge the terminal conveniently.
Innovation Solution
A storage body with a first chamber for a wireless charger and an adjacent second chamber for the portable terminal, equipped with an attachment/detachment tool and positioning guides, allowing the terminal to be charged while mounted on a user's garment or bag, with the ability to extend and contract to fit different terminal sizes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a carry case with power transmission coil and capacitor is used for charging, then wireless charging function is achieved, but the size becomes large and portability is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The storage body is divided into multiple chambers: a first chamber for storing the portable terminal and a second chamber for storing the wireless charger. This segmentation allows the wireless charger to be stored separately when not in use, reducing the volume of the storage body during normal carrying, while still providing wireless charging functionality when needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The storage body is designed with flexible or expandable structure that can change volume. The chambers can be compressed or expanded dynamically - the second chamber can be collapsed when the wireless charger is not needed, reducing overall volume, and expanded when charging is required.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed-size carry case is used, then structure is simple, but it cannot accommodate different terminal sizes
Solution Approach 1:
The first chamber is designed with flexible walls that can expand and contract to accommodate portable terminals of different sizes. This dynamic structure allows the chamber to adapt its volume to fit various terminal dimensions without requiring multiple fixed-size compartments, maintaining simplicity while achieving versatility.
Solution Approach 2:
The storage body utilizes materials or structural mechanisms that allow volume parameters to change. The flexible chamber walls can deform to match different terminal dimensions, enabling a single structure to serve multiple size requirements without complex adjustable mechanisms.
3Ease of operation
If the portable terminal is placed on an open placement surface, then charging is simple, but the terminal may fall during movement
Solution Approach 1:
The portable terminal is nested within the first chamber of the storage body, which provides enclosure and protection. The chamber walls surround the terminal, preventing it from falling during movement while still allowing the power receiving coil to be positioned correctly for wireless charging from the second chamber.
Solution Approach 2:
The first chamber is designed with specific local characteristics: the bottom surface is positioned to align the terminal's power receiving coil with the power transmission coil in the second chamber. This localized quality ensures both stability during movement and proper charging alignment.
4Reliability
If a large carry case is used to ensure stability, then terminal security is improved, but ease of carrying is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The storage body is segmented into compact chambers that can be tightly fitted around the terminal and wireless charger. This segmentation allows the overall structure to be smaller and more portable while maintaining security through the enclosed chamber design that prevents the terminal from moving or falling.

AI summary
An example storage body includes a first storage chamber in which a wireless charger is stored, a second storage chamber which is adjacent to the first storage chamber and in which a portable terminal to be charged by the wireless charger is to be stored, and an attachment/detachment tool that attaches and detaches the first storage chamber and the second storage chamber to and from an object. Preferably, the storage body further includes a guide that is disposed in the second storage chamber and positions the portable terminal at a power receiving position where the portable terminal is capable of receiving power to be supplied from the wireless charger.
