Vehicle Wireless Charging Platform With Adjustable Tablet Retention
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wireless charging platforms in vehicles are designed for small-sized mobile devices like mobile phones, making it impossible to charge larger and heavier devices like tablet computers, which can only use wired charging, thus compromising the neat environment and convenience in vehicle cockpits.
Innovation Solution
A wireless charging apparatus for vehicles that includes a charging platform with a stopper, a charging area, and a groove, along with an attachment part and a control part. The attachment part provides an adjustable attachment force to secure the device, while the control part, which may include sensors and a control unit, intelligently controls the attachment force and the wireless charging process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a small-sized mobile phone wireless charging platform is used in the vehicle, then the charging environment is neat and cable-free, but large-sized devices like tablet computers cannot be charged wirelessly
Solution Approach 1:
The charging platform employs an adjustable attachment force mechanism that can dynamically adapt to different device sizes and weights. The attachment part's holding force can be increased to securely hold larger tablet computers while maintaining the same platform structure used for smaller mobile phones, thus achieving versatility without requiring multiple different charging platforms.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the attachment force parameter to accommodate different device types. By adjusting the attachment force within the same charging platform structure, it can securely hold both small mobile phones and large tablet computers, resolving the contradiction between adaptability and device complexity.
2Ease of operation
If wired charging is used for large-sized devices, then the devices can be charged, but the charging environment becomes messy and accommodation is inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The charging platform is designed to perform multiple functions: it can wirelessly charge both small mobile phones and large tablet computers using the same platform. This eliminates the need for separate wired charging solutions and maintains a neat, cable-free environment for all device types.
Solution Approach 2:
The adjustable attachment force allows the same wireless charging platform to securely accommodate devices of varying sizes, making wireless charging convenient for large tablets without requiring wired connections, thus avoiding cable disorganization while maintaining charging ease.
3Reliability
If the attachment force is increased to hold large devices, then the devices are securely held, but small devices may be held too tightly
Solution Approach 1:
The attachment force is made dynamically adjustable based on the detected device size and weight. For large tablet computers, the attachment force is increased to ensure secure holding and stability. For smaller mobile phones, the attachment force is reduced to allow easy removal, thus resolving the contradiction between reliability and ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The control part detects device characteristics and provides feedback to adjust the attachment force accordingly. This feedback mechanism ensures that the attachment force is optimized for each device type, providing secure holding for large devices while maintaining easy removability for small devices.
