Example 1
A wireless charger for automatic positioning of charging includes a housing for supporting all internal mechanisms and providing a charging platform for a wireless charging device.

In the present embodiment, the lower case 12 is provided with a locking portion 121 for mating with the upper case 11, and the upper case 11 is locked in the locking portion 121. The specific shape and dimensions of the housing may be customized as desired and are not limited in detail herein.
Fig. 8 and 9 are schematic diagrams of the system structure in the present invention, in which a control module, a position detection module 20 in communication with the control module, a driving module, and a charging module 30 are disposed in a housing.
Wherein: the position detection module 20 is used for detecting charging efficiency of different positions; the control module sends a driving signal to the driving module according to the optimal charging position coordinates determined by the detection information of the position detection module 20; after receiving the driving signal, the driving module drives the charging module 30 to move to an optimal charging position and sends a feedback signal; the charging module 30 is configured to receive the charging signal sent by the control module and charge the device to be charged.
The control module is internally provided with an MCU, a first detection unit, a space calculation unit, a drive control unit and a charging unit which are connected with the MCU, and the MCU, the first detection unit, the space calculation unit, the drive control unit and the charging unit are integrated on the circuit board 40. Wherein: the first detecting unit is configured to communicate with the position detecting module 20, drive the position detecting module 20 to perform optimal charging position detection, and receive a detection result of the position detecting module 20; the space calculating unit calculates and obtains the space coordinate of the optimal charging position according to the received detection result; the driving unit sends a driving signal to the driving module according to the coordinates of the optimal charging position; the charging unit sends a charging instruction to the charging module 30 after receiving a signal that the charging module 30 is moved into place.
As shown in fig. 3 and 4, the position detection module 20 detects charging efficiencies at different positions in the first direction and the second direction, respectively. Specifically, the detection area (i.e. the dotted line box S) is divided into a plurality of unit charging areas (S11, S12 … … S1 n) in the first direction (transverse direction in the figure), and the charging efficiency of each unit charging area (S1 x, x is 1, 2 … … n) is detected respectively; to the detection area (i.e. the dotted line box S) at the second sideThe charging efficiency of each unit charging area (S2 x, x is 1, 2 … … n) is detected by dividing the charging area (S21, S22, … … S2 n) into a plurality of unit charging areas (vertical in the figure). Based on this, the space calculating unit obtains the unit charging area (e.g., S1 a) of the optimal charge in the first direction and the unit charging area (e.g., S2b, a and b may be equal or unequal) of the optimal charge in the second direction, respectively, and finally n can be obtained 2 And combining the charging efficiencies of the space coordinates to obtain coordinates (S1 a, S2 b) of the optimal charging position in the whole monitoring area.
Because the position difference between the transmitting coil and the receiving coil can influence the charging efficiency in the magnetic induction process, the charging frequency and parasitic loss of the charging end can reflect the charging efficiency, and therefore the charging frequency and/or parasitic loss of each charging area in the first direction and the second direction are respectively detected to reflect the charging efficiency of different positions. Since the calculation method of the charging frequency and the parasitic loss is the prior art, the specific collection and calculation methods of the charging frequency and the parasitic loss are not described in detail herein.

The wire frame fixing member 27 may be a hollow cylinder or a hollow prism, which is not limited herein.
In order to ensure that the detection signals of the first direction wire frame 25 and the second direction wire frame 28 do not interfere with each other when the detection signals of the first direction wire frame 25 and the second direction wire frame 28 are respectively detected, a certain time delay can be arranged between the detection signals of the first direction wire frame 25 and the second direction wire frame 28; the first direction wire frame 25 may collect charging efficiency information when the detection driving part 21 drives the first direction wire frame 25 and the second direction wire frame 28 to move from the initial position to the final position, the second direction wire frame 28 does not collect signals, and after the first direction wire frame 25 is collected, the detection driving part 21 simultaneously drives the first direction wire frame 25 and the second direction wire frame 28 to move from the final position to the initial position, and in the process, the first direction wire frame 25 does not collect signals, and only the second direction wire frame 28 collects charging efficiency information.
In order to ensure that the first direction wire frame 25 and the second direction wire frame 28 can synchronously move from the start position to the end position, the width ratio of the first direction wire frame 25 to the width ratio of the second direction wire frame 28 can be selectively set to be consistent with the width ratio of the first direction to the width ratio of the second direction of the detection area; the pitch of the screw 26 and the stepping distance of the rotary belt 24 can be adjusted so that the ratio of the two is proper.

The first motor rotates to drive the first transmission rod 612 to rotate, and then drives the second driving part 621 to slide along the first transmission rod 612, that is, drives the second driving part 621 to move in the second direction. Preferably, the second driving part 621 is sleeved on the first transmission rod 612 through the driving sliding part 613, and a limiting structure (not described in detail herein) for limiting the rotation of the driving sliding part 613 is arranged inside the housing. In addition, in order to secure stable support of the first transmission rod 612, a support shaft 614 for supporting the first transmission rod 612 is provided at an end portion of the first transmission rod 612. Preferably, the first driving member 611 and the first transmission rod 612 are located at intermediate positions throughout the detection area.

The touch sensor and the mechanical switch are used for receiving an instruction of starting the charging of the human body and directly judging that the equipment to be charged exists.
Other sensing devices may be used in the to-be-charged detection module in this embodiment, which will not be described in detail herein.

Example five
The charging module 30 may be a conventional charging module (including the magnetic shielding plate 31 and the charging coil 32), or an optimized charging module may be selected.
As shown in fig. 1, 6 and 7, unlike the conventional charging module, the charging module 30 in this embodiment includes a magnetic shielding plate 31 and a charging coil 32 located at one side of the magnetic shielding plate 31, and the height of the outer winding of the charging coil 32 is higher than the height of the adjacent inner winding, so that the charging coil 32 is formed in an inverted truncated cone shape around.
Preferably, the charging coils 32 on each side are surrounded by a central axis of the charging coils 32 to form an inclined bevel, which is at an angle of 3-6 ° to the magnetic shield 31. The inclination angle is set to 5 ° in this embodiment.
In the wireless charging process, the magnetic field distribution of the peripheral coil of the transmitting end is more dispersed than that of the inner peripheral coil, so that the magnetic field loss generated by the current of the peripheral coil is larger, and the charging efficiency of the whole transmitting coil is lowered. Therefore, the embodiment can effectively reduce the loss of the transmitting coil and increase the charging efficiency of the transmitting coil by changing the shape of the charging coil.
The invention is realized by dividing the detection area into n 2 Detecting the charging efficiency of the whole detection area in the same first direction and the second direction respectively to obtain an accurate and optimal charging position, and moving the charging module to the position through the determination of the optimal charging position coordinate to ensure that the charging efficiency of the charging module is highest; the detection mode can enable the detection result to be more accurate, is not easy to be influenced by the arrangement inclination of the electronic equipment, other structures and the like, and in addition, when the charging operation is carried out, the wire frames in two directions cannot influence the electronic equipment, so that the charging efficiency is fully ensured.
As shown in fig. 10 to 13, based on the above embodiments, the present invention further provides a method for implementing a wireless charger for automatic positioning of charging, which implements positioning of a receiving coil in a device to be charged by using the wireless charger for automatic positioning of charging, and moves a charging module to a suitable position, thereby reducing loss in a wireless charging process, increasing charging efficiency, reducing temperature rise of the device to be charged and the wireless charger, increasing interactivity, and guaranteeing reliability of the charging process.
As shown in fig. 10, the implementation method in one embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps:
s1, detecting and judging whether charging equipment exists in a detection area through mutual matching of a to-be-charged detection module and a control module, and starting a subsequent charging detection and charging process only when the charging equipment exists in the detection area. The detection area here is an area range in which the first direction wire frame and the second direction wire frame are movable and detected.
S2, if the detection area is judged to have the charging equipment, the detection area is periodically scanned through the position detection module, and the coordinates of the optimal charging position are determined through the space calculation unit in the control module, so that the optimal charging efficiency is obtained.
S3, the control module drives the charging module to move to an optimal charging position through the driving module. Specifically, the first driving component drives the charging module and the second driving component to move in the second direction, and the second driving component drives the charging module to move in the first direction. The movement of the charging module in the first direction and the movement in the second direction may be performed sequentially or simultaneously.
And S4, judging whether the charging module moves to an optimal charging position or not, and sending a feedback signal to the control module after the charging module moves in place. The charging module can also send position information to the control module at fixed time in the moving process, so that the control module can conveniently acquire the position of the charging module.
And S5, if the charging module is judged to move in place (or the control module receives a feedback signal that the charging module moves in place), the charging unit in the control module is communicated with the charging module, so that the charging module starts to charge the equipment to be charged, and otherwise, the charging module is continuously driven to shift. In the charging process, the wire frames in all directions are disconnected, so that the corresponding induced current is avoided, and the influence of the wire frames on the charging efficiency is reduced.
As shown in fig. 11, the implementation method in another embodiment of the present invention is similar to the above embodiment, and differs only in that a specific identification procedure of the optimal charging position is included. The method specifically comprises the following steps:
s1, detecting and judging whether charging equipment exists in the detection area.
The detection and determination may be performed periodically based on a fixed value that is set, or may be performed by itself when the wireless charger is started. In this embodiment, an on-off key is provided on the housing, and the on-off key is connected to an on-off button on the circuit board for turning on and off the wireless charger.
And S2, if the charging equipment is arranged, periodically scanning the detection area, and determining the coordinates of the optimal charging position.
The identification process of the optimal charging position comprises the following steps:
S2A, after determining the optimal charging position, judging whether the optimal charging position is positioned in a movable area of the charging module;
S2B, if the optimal charging position is located in a movable area of the charging module, performing step S3; and if the optimal charging position is located outside the movable area of the charging module, sending out alarm information and ending the charging process.
S3, the control module drives the charging module to move to an optimal charging position through the driving module.
And S4, after the charging module moves in place, starting charging operation.
As shown in fig. 12 and 13, in the above two embodiments, the detection area is periodically scanned by the position detection module, and the coordinates of the optimal charging position are obtained by calculation by the control module. In the process, the first direction coil scans the charging efficiency of the detection area in the first direction, the second direction coil scans the charging efficiency of the detection area in the second direction, and the unit charging areas with optimal charging in the two directions are obtained respectively and then overlapped to obtain the specific coordinate position of the optimal charging area.
In the specific implementation shown in fig. 12:
s201, in the position detection module, the driving device drives the first direction wire frame and the second direction wire frame to move to the starting end respectively. In this embodiment, the detection driving component drives the first direction wire frame to move to the leftmost end, and the second direction wire frame to move to the uppermost end.
And S202, electrifying the first direction wire frame and the second direction wire frame, simultaneously moving the first direction wire frame and the second direction wire frame towards the terminal end, and acquiring the charging efficiency (magnetic induction efficiency, such as detection of charging frequency and parasitic loss) of each unit charging area in the moving process. The first direction wire frame and the second direction wire frame can be electrified and powered off in a crossing way; one direction wire frame is electrified in the process that the detection driving part drives the first direction wire frame and the second direction wire frame to move forward (the first direction wire frame moves rightwards and the second direction wire frame moves downwards) at the same time, and the other direction wire frame is electrified in the process that the detection driving part drives the first direction wire frame and the second direction wire frame to move reversely (the first direction wire frame moves leftwards and the second direction wire frame moves upwards) at the same time.
And S203, after the position detection module circularly detects a complete stroke, the control module obtains the coordinates of the optimal unit charging area in the first direction and the coordinates of the optimal charging area in the second direction, and the coordinates of the optimal charging position in the whole detection area are obtained by superposition of the first coordinates and the second coordinates.
In the specific implementation process shown in fig. 13, in order to avoid the influence of the charging coil in the charging module on the detection structure in the detection process of the first direction wire frame and the second direction wire frame, the charging module needs to be detected in stages, and is shifted in different stages, so that the charging module cannot generate more interference on the detection result.
The specific implementation process is as follows:
s201, setting the whole detection area to comprise four detection areas of upper right, upper left, lower left and lower right, wherein the four detection areas respectively correspond to a first quadrant, a second quadrant, a third quadrant and a fourth quadrant. Initially, the driving module drives the charging module to move to a lower right position (i.e., a fourth quadrant), preferably a lower right corner position.
In the position detection module, the driving device drives the first direction wire frame and the second direction wire frame to move to the starting end respectively. In this embodiment, the detection driving component drives the first direction wire frame to move to the leftmost end, and the second direction wire frame to move to the uppermost end.
S202, energizing the first direction wire frame and the second direction wire frame, and moving the first direction wire frame and the second direction wire frame toward the end point (the midpoint position of the detection area in this embodiment) at the same time, and acquiring the charging efficiency (magnetic induction efficiency, such as detecting the charging frequency and parasitic loss) of each unit charging area during the movement.
S203, judging whether the first direction wire frame and the second direction wire frame move to a half stroke or not, or identifying whether the first direction wire frame and the second direction wire frame are received or not, sending an in-place signal to the control module when the first direction wire frame and the second direction wire frame move to the half stroke, and continuing to move and detect if the first direction wire frame and the second direction wire frame do not reach the half stroke.
S204, if the first direction wire frame and the second direction wire frame reach a half stroke, respectively powering off the first direction wire frame and the second direction wire frame, and stopping the detection driving part to drive the first direction wire frame and the second direction wire frame to move.
S205, the driving module drives the charging module to move to the upper left position (namely the second quadrant), preferably the upper left position.
S206, judging whether the charging module moves to the second quadrant or not, or recognizing whether a feedback signal is received after the charging module moves to the second quadrant to be in place, and if the charging module does not move to be in place, continuing to move.
S207, if the charging module moves in place, the first direction wire frame and the second direction wire frame continue the moving and detecting processes, as shown in step S202.
S208, judging whether the detection of the whole stroke is finished, if not, continuing to step S207.
S208, after the position detection module circularly detects a complete stroke, the control module obtains the coordinates of the optimal unit charging area in the first direction and the coordinates of the optimal charging area in the second direction, and the coordinates of the optimal charging position in the whole detection area are obtained by superposition of the first coordinates and the second coordinates.
In the whole process, the first direction wire frame and the second direction wire frame can be electrified and powered off in a crossing way; one direction wire frame is electrified in the process that the detection driving part drives the first direction wire frame and the second direction wire frame to move forward (the first direction wire frame moves rightwards and the second direction wire frame moves downwards) at the same time, and the other direction wire frame is electrified in the process that the detection driving part drives the first direction wire frame and the second direction wire frame to move reversely (the first direction wire frame moves leftwards and the second direction wire frame moves upwards) at the same time. Or, the detection driving part can drive the first direction wire frame and the second direction wire frame to move forward (the first direction wire frame moves rightwards and the second direction wire frame moves downwards) to electrify one wire frame in the front half stroke process, electrify the other wire frame in the back half stroke process, and drive the first direction wire frame and the second direction wire frame to move reversely (the first direction wire frame moves leftwards and the second direction wire frame moves upwards) to electrify one wire frame in the front half stroke process and electrify the other wire frame in the back half stroke process.
